and tory years of them than you do is that a fair amount us is from richard murphy. richard murphy is 100 percent correct on his analysis that conservatism has the roots of deep embedded respect for the rule of law but i think it's politically wrong politically what's going to hurt the tories most of all johnson tenshi get rid of boris johnson it is seen to have grossly mishandled coronavirus for the 2nd time i remember we know that he mishandled he missed the 1st fight cobra meetings when it was starting in the state in the in the late winter now if he goes wrong again votes is all of them suffered from coronavirus directly or indirectly it's deeply impacted that lives if mr johnson a city has been incompetent to handle this it will hit him this early in the polls it will count for more than what i completely agree about the point about conservative party being about rule. but what is it that is behind the graham brady parliament type of vault i mean it's a big section of the parliamentary conservative party who really want to see the virus let rip to take on the ch

rows within the tory party.of the guardian, the headline there is ministers row over free meals intensifies. it's very interesting because it puts the focus now on gavin williamson. yes, this is really an intriguing story in the guardian basically coming from the chancellors office saying well, nobody in the department for education asked for this extra money. that's why we've not budgeted for it. there's a lot of the blame game going on behind the scenes here. the government are arguing they have funded this. they said in june they give £63 million to local authorities across england to pay for things like free school meals through holidays. unfortunately those same local authorities they demand was so high they've already spent it. the government went to their second—best argument which was to say actually, school meals at the best way to address holiday hunger. that's why we increase universal credit by £20 back injune. that approach would say that increasing universal credit was only for six months. that's g

mps, but also tory councils and businesses stepping in.ing towards a government u—turn, governments climb—down, whereby they may have to give way on this issue. obviously, an incredibly emotive topic. marcus rash bird showing how sportsmen can be a force for good and has campaigned, to be fair to him, ina and has campaigned, to be fair to him, in a very measured effect affect what on this. they say it's become quite weapon eyes template is sized as well. some people have said that, yes, but it is extraordinary that, yes, but it is extraordinary that the government has got the mood so that the government has got the mood so badly wrong. even a senior tory mp earlier today, sir bernard jenkins, he is quoted in the piece, saying, the government misunderstood the mood of the country. i don't know how out of touch you need to be to not understand that people think that kids shouldn't go hungry in a country that's the fifth largest economy in the world. and what's been really heartening to see is the response from local businesses, local council

but did it impress tories around the country watching along? are having a bad time up here. i'm just hoping and hoping that we all come out of this well. i was very impressed, actually, it was very upbeat and i thought it was a nice change, very positive and optimistic. we enjoyed the speech, but i would say it was not a standout moment for me. he always spoke highly of the union. we saw a bit of the old boris, there a degree of frustration among some members that were just not doing what we would normally do as the conservative party in power. but the prime minister quite rightly is setting the tone on the agenda. as any other time this whole week would have been a victory parade for tory h0, a moment for borisjohnson to lap up the applause after the election. but it is anything but that and although he dangles better days ahead, there was very little mention of the real risks to jobs and health that the country faces right now. a study of applause from a small stage for a politician craving the bit platform. —— a stutter of applause. he canno

we know what the prime minister's tori colleagues are saying, primary straps next job could be on the back benches, he just doesn't know it yet. the prime minister, does he realize he will never not ever be forgiven for the damage is about to cause people up and down southland. >> i say to the right honorable gentlemen this gentleman is continuing to support people across the whole uk, many billions of pounds for scotland alone but i will congratulate the support for the tiered approach, and the party opposite some vestige of consistency in normal gelatinous behavior. >> doctor matthew offers. >> on monday i met with the planning collective to discuss building safety. it was designed to support residential evaluation and lending on buildings over 18 million but the housing communities and local

that wasn't the message from rishi sunak today at the virtual tory conference.se bills will have to be settled soon. yes, you heard from the chancellor today that there are more times that i had evenif that there are more times that i had even if you can get through than next two months of turbulence. i think there is opposition to what the chancellor is saying. the story is addressing the fact that perhaps things have changed, and people are talking about interest. critics and response saying is it really different this time? but i think the issue with the uk government is that rishi sunak is fairly comfortable. however, i think it comes down to almost who is going to be the ugliest baby of all the countries they are mass borrowing, and that concern for the treasury is as soon as, if you look at the story and the imf's, as, if you look at the story and the imf ‘s, they as, if you look at the story and the imf's, they are as, if you look at the story and the imf ‘s, they are talking about borrowing to a degree, but not to a point that if they borrowing condition

as you both pointed out, there is tension in the tory party, lots of pulling and pushing.for this u—turn and pay for, basically, in attempt to nurse the economy back in such unprecedented times, rosamund? clearly, yes, his party is quite unhappy. they have been unhappy for quite some time, to be fair. given how he won in 80 c majority year ago, it is this sounding how he has blown —— ago, it is this sounding how he has blown — — it ago, it is this sounding how he has blown —— it is astounding... i don't love this either because we need a government who reacts to events, people should change their mind. i think they should've done this earlier, but i'm not sure this is helpful, but i do think boris johnson is now facing a very difficult situation within his party, and as yasmin says, actually with his own cabinet even, but then the figures the cabinet were told by the figures the cabinet were told by the scientific advisers would be heading towards 4000 deaths a day. that is completely unacceptable and so that is completely unacceptable and so something had to change. yasmi

, including rather unfortunately for boris johnson the chairman of the 1922 committee of backbench toryady have aligned themselves with andy burnham and said we will not do it unless we get a concession and the concession is money to help keep the local economy going. and it's a difficult dilemma for the government. burnham is engaged in some sort of pot they do with government at the moment it's fair to say. he is sticking with his corner and ignoring the big bats of michael gove, others would say he has been intransigent and is refusing to budge to the reality of a need to act swiftly and decisively to head off an extreme spread of the virus. it's a messy scenario no question. indicative of the ongoing situation that people are still not sure where they are. there are parts of the country like london that had just had the mayor urging government effectively to put us into tier 2 but a better manchester they don't wa nt to but a better manchester they don't want to go into tier 3 and perhaps they may have to. liverpool have already gone. no one knows where we are going to end up, do we

buffalo new york is next and this is tori. welcome. >> caller: hello. this is tori from buffalo, new york. today is a great day for our country. there is no way that amy coney barrett is such a some staunch conservative that she will not do right by the american people. for the democrats to keep bringing this up over and over again, the verge of girding the talking points is disgusting. what we need is a fair, fair supreme court and i thank you will see that with judge barre barrett. >> host: okay, tori. here is a text from emily baltimore, maryland who text (202)748-8923 is as equal justice under law is supposed to be achievable in this country, particularly internation cord that is no longer going to happen and it's a tragedy that will be felt for years aberdeen, mississippi bobby on the democrat line. go ahead. >> caller: yet, i think this is a shame and a sham that what the republicans did. look what they did four years ago to merrick garland that was nominated by obama and this is all going to come back to bite them. i'm certainly hoping that the d

he tory mp this week.nt of votes over the some the next election or are they baking on the fact that they are too far away to count? so, there is a long way to go, but right now the only thing that the government is going to bejudged on is their handling of coronavirus, much like how the prime minister wants to go on about investment and other things. the key issue is that the fa ct things. the key issue is that the fact that people are facing a dire financial economic situation and people are losing theirjobs come over look at1 million increase in unemployment by the end of the year we're looking at massive national debt and people are losing their jobs and they are struggling. in the middle of all this, we have a situation where certain kids are not going to be able to be fed properly over christmas and other people are stepping in. the suspected david chairman's pic society. this is the big society in action. people are suffering themselves putting up the hand of friendship and care to help others less

we're very used to scottish voices being shouted down by the tories in this place.nt that casually and arrogantly breaks international law, and breaks devolution, has shattered any remaining trust in this broken westminster system. mr speaker, i think the right honourable gentleman demonstrates once again that his ambition is simply to ferment grievance where no grievance should exist. all this bill does, actually, is devolve power back from brussels to edinburgh, it gives powers back to edinburgh, which he should welcome. the internal market bill now goes to the house of lords for further scrutiny — with a bumpy ride expected. time now for a brief look at what else has been going on in the world of politics. a senior united nations official has criticised the idea of sending people seeking asylum in the uk to ascension island in the south atlantic. some countries do process claims offshore and ministers considered the idea but rejected the island as too far away, although they are looking at options closer to home. we've seen reports in the newspaper this morning t

had a lot of this going on over greater manchester and we have had politicians there come include tory and mps saying, "hang ona tory politicians and mps saying, "hang on a minute, locking bars and restau ra nts "hang on a minute, locking bars and restaurants have put in a lot of work to make sure that they are covid secure it so that people can't catch the virus when they are in there." if you stop people going to there." if you stop people going to the pub, they arejust there." if you stop people going to the pub, they are just going to there." if you stop people going to the pub, they arejust going to be their friends at the pub, they arejust going to be theirfriends at home the pub, they arejust going to be their friends at home for a drink, actually, you have got a higher risk there of transmission of the virus. rachel, what is interesting, in the kind of detail of this story, the dispute over whether restaurants should also shut. so we have a definitional argument, should also shut. so we have a definitionalargument, because restau ra nts a nd definitionalargument, because restau

for tory hq, a have been a victory parade for tory h0, a moment for borisjohnson to lap up the applause better days ahead, there was very little mention of the real risks to jobs and health that the country faces right now. a study of applause from a small stage for a politician craving the bit platform. he cannot be remotely sure when the world will look when the elections come round next time. the time is... just after quarter past six. our top story this evening. a sharp rise in the number of people admitted to hospital with covid — as cities in northern england call on the government to give them more powers to slow soaring infection rates. and cambridge university triples its intake of black british students in five years though still lags behind some uk universities. coming up on sportsday on bbc news: and other upset at the french open as qualifier nadia podoroska reaches the semifinals by beating third seed elina svitolina, to make history at roland garros. president trump is back in the white house after three nights in hospital, and says he is looking forward to debating with

implication — the northern mayors ijust trying to stir up trouble because they don't like the tories.not the case. there are some tory mps, including some very senior ones, who are upset notjust about the idea of this regional strategy, but also about the way that the government's handling it. so before we had that dramatic moment on the steps of manchester town hall and andy burnham there, really furious, there was a series of sort of angry calls, ministers with mps on zoom, not always the right people being invited, it all being really, really messy. and it's dangerous for the government, notjust because it's a really important part of how they are trying to manage this, but also because think of the politics here. next borisjohnson swept into number ten with a massive majority because, "oh, look, he was the tory leader that could win in the north of england!" well, this is the two sides of the north and south being pitted against each other, very publicly, in a very big way, and there's no easy way out for either of them. and don't forget in lots of bits of the north of england peo

i agree with the tory mps who disagree with the 10pm closing times., we put more aerosols out of your mouth into society, you're having a drink and all they will do is move from the pub from the street and will do wonders from off licenses. but those two things are disconnected. this is about ensuring the country doesn't earn money to generatejobs. this is the the country doesn't earn money to generate jobs. this is the very core of the thing we need to keep recovering of the country, and i repeat, what are you going to do at the end of it? the rate will come down, but the problem is students will go back and certain communities will go back and certain communities will carry on doing what they do, and what you end up with is christmas, the r8 is moving again —— the r rate. we have several spikes in the southwest. just on the telegraph story, we've got lockdown going across europe. the nevers —— netherlands shutting down, closing alcohol sales down in bars. stopping after eight o'clock at night. do you think even if the regional circuit breaker, might

case of you're damned if you do you damned if you don't you can argue this are the are the way if tory removes all damages deaths go up and they'll be blamed for doing it. yeah that's a few slee that took fuselier risk but the question is whether a lot done actually can effectively eliminate. that divide is completely the government the state government said that they're only. working on suppression and not the elimination we seem to target is different realize it's a stray view is an island so the respect and the target you have say virus free islands and there is pressure on the government because other states have a long series of days without. community condemnation and it's close their borders for toria but if we don't create a new south wales sense of story will be completely vives free the world health organizations now currently warning against lockdowns they said the dramatic economic consequences among other things do you think that governments will listen and change strategies based on advice from the will help organize i do we we think so so that was big in the news. this m

i think some tory mps are getting increasingly nervous about the government position.ormer children's minister saying that the government should change their mind and he lobby them. anotherformer change their mind and he lobby them. another former minister tobias ellwood saying similar and johnny mercer saying it has been poorly handled. in private, others have concerns. in the front page of the 0bserver, 2000 paediatricians, doctors who work with young people saying the government should change its mind and it's a basic human responsibility to make sure children have enough to eat. in scotland, wales and northern ireland there are schemes in place. in england the government says it is sticking by its position but the debate rages on. thank you. at least 18 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a suicide bomb attack outside an education centre in the afghan capital, kabul. more than 20 people were injured. the islamic state group has said it carried out the attack. donald trump has voted early in the us election while on a campaign visit in florida. with ten da

cast your mind back to last december, it was all about coming onto the tory side and actually ——.a 93p- side and actually ——. there is a gap. it would be good if government --. eve, we are losing the clarity on your line. let's redial you. and then we will rejoin the conversation. so kezia, we are going to stay with the picture across the north and turned to the front page of the york shire post. perhaps many people not surprised by this. when you look at some of the figures. the number of covid patients is far beyond the first wave. these are figures coming from south yorkshire hospitals. yes in particular hospitals. yes in particular hospitals and brought a room as well both seeing the number of patients in theirwards both seeing the number of patients in their wards with covid—19 is higher now than it was at any point during the first way. it's quite an interesting point because i think most people recognise infection rates are on the rise again. and they were heading into the second way. some how it doesn't feel quite as serious as it did last time. but here we have hospitals

tory mps kept up the pressure.nsure that the minister focuses rigorously on the key question? namely, if lockdown measures are the answer, why aren't they working? the lockdown measures have been implemented to try and stop the spread of the disease. a disease that is communicated by people meeting is bound to be reduced in its circulation if people meet less, and we saw that with the first lockdown, that it stopped people meeting and therefore the numbers affected by the disease declined. jacob rees—mogg. so could england follow where scotland leads? at holyrood, the first minister, nicola sturgeon, announced that all licensed premises across scotland's central belt, including glasgow and edinburgh, would be closed for 16 days. pubs and restaurants will be able to open in other parts of scotland until 6pm but can only serve alcohol outdoors. the restrictions will be in place until the 25th of october. she's earmarked £40 million to help those affected. none of this is easy. i am acutely aware that in every decisio

but another tory disagreed. believe in nationalising children. instead, we need to get back to the idea of taking responsibility, and this means less celebrity virtue signalling on twitter by proxy and more action to tackle the real causes of child poverty. at the end of that debate, labour put its motion to the vote, but it was rejected by mps. young people have been sharing their experiences of feeling deeply unhappy with how their bodies look pointing to social media images of seemingly perfect people as triggers for anxiety. they were speaking to the women and equalities committee, which is investigating body image. my body image issues started when i was in my early teens. it was kind of over wanting to fit in. and i started to have a negative body image through scrolling through images social media platforms and, unfortunately, that had a really detrimental effect on the way i saw my body image. and from that, i started to scrutinise the way i looked and, unfortunately, reached a low point, a critical cris

that is fear for several of this region's tory mps.of the north that have lived with restrictions for some time. we are asking people to give up celebrity, i don't think it is runable celebrity, i don't think it is ru nable to say celebrity, i don't think it is runable to say show us the way out, but we need to move beyond covid into the recovery stage. there is no exact science to lifting local rule, it is kept under constant review, the fear for it is kept under constant review, the fearfor some is it is kept under constant review, the fear for some is lasting economic damage, exacerbating existing north south divides. part of this is the fact some of these mps want to be seen to be sticking up mps want to be seen to be sticking upfor mps want to be seen to be sticking up for their communities and they claim it is not an attack on the government. but it is a stark reminder for number ten, some government. but it is a stark reminderfor number ten, some of some of the places that feel most bruced are the very areas boris johnson has pr

but remember, the tories want to keep their new—found friends in the north.her side. and while the health secretary says tonight this is party political, in truth, it is much bigger than that. there are some conservative mps including some quite senior ones who think that the government is making a mistake to push on with this. they are asking them to rethink. and remember, too, that boris johnson made them to rethink. and remember, too, that borisjohnson made history with his huge majority by charging into territory in northern england that had not been held by tories before. and the political risk here is that this looks like not a battle between labour and the conservatives on either side, but also a battle between north and south. ministers wa nt to between north and south. ministers want to press on because they think this is the best way of trying to protect people is health and slow the spread of the disease, but they have the power to do so, but they could take a big political knock if they choose to use it. laura kuenssberg, thank you very much. last

you know, the tories are just looking like they couldn't care. they might have to have a rethink.nny, prime minister waiting for us poll result before brexit move, whether borisjohnson will, you know, push for a deal or not depending on who wins in the states ? not depending on who wins in the states? just briefly. briefly, yes, obviously if there is a change in administration, there are problems a nyway administration, there are problems anyway because it slows everything down and donald trump is very much saying that brexit was a great thing and joe biden, on the other hand, was receiving a doctorate, an honorary doctorate from trinity college, dublin, at the time and said we would have preferred a different outcome so they obviously have very different views on brexit. they will obviously both be trying to protect industries like agriculture and pharmaceuticals so from that point of view, the deal is the same but we already know as well that the eu negotiators are staying on until wednesday, so... fingers crossed for something. yes, the talks continue, but i suppose just briefl

the sunday mirror highlights infection rates in the constituencies of tory ministers, where local lockdownsaven't been introduced. the sunday telegraph says pubs will close in hotspots, but restaurants are set to remain open. meanwhile, the sunday times is reporting that local authorities will be given more control over the test—and trace system. and the mail on sunday has a story accusing the health secretary, matt hancock of making what's described as a crass joke about test and trace failings, in a commons bar. so let's begin... the sunday times, townhall‘s to take control of work on virus. a u—turn on testing looms before new lockdowns, benedicte, and many public health officials and local politicians in various parts of england have been asking for exactly this sort of extra authority. indeed. of course, this is the story as we await the exact restrictions and which city, liverpool, manchester, others are in a particular tier, one, two, manchester, others are in a particulartier, one, two, orthree. this is interesting because this is a real u—turn. now, the feeling and perception, cert

because, at the end of the day, a lot of upset has been created, and it is also, for a lot of tories,all those new votes and new voters we got in the north of england, maybe that was all a bit flimsy. what is going to happen to them when we have got this kind of north—south battle raging? i think first of all, the next election is a long way off, and i will tell you, you're going to have a lot more of these podcast between now and then and a lot of things are going to shape whether the conservatives can hold those seats in the north. ithink... you are basically right, laura. what i would say has happened this week is that they selected local figures, like andy burnham, steve rotherham, dan jarvis, they have become national players and that is great. i think that has contributed to our politics, it builds on what was done in london, by a labour government, before me. of course, we have got the former mayor of london as our prime minister. you loved having him across the water when you were in government. that was really happy, that relationship! there was one moment where he almost pus

next week the pandemic is worsening, the tory government will move mass redundancies across the united kingdom, meanwhile the prime minister is complaining, he can't get by 150,000 pounds but i ask the prime minister if he finds life such a struggle how does he expect many workers to get by with this furlough to sink in? >> mister speaker, i am proud of what we've done to support low incomes, this government raised the living wage by record amounts, increased universal credit by 1000 pounds a year and he makes the point about furloughs and as he knows, combined with universal credit, the job support we will get this country through this crisis and we will continue to support people of low incomes throughout the period. ian blackford: i am afraid the prime minister just simply doesn't get it. yesterday, we saw his total disregard for the people of greater manchester, a tory attitude that people in scotland are all too familiar with. millions of families are struggling to get by and this tory government want to cut their incomes in the middle of a pandemic. it is clear that the prime min

we can go to another part of the country now, and i'm going to introduce tom hunt, a tory backbenchern, and told me concerns from ipswich in suffolk about how the restrictions are affecting your constituents. just on this point of pubs, before we get into that, james, how dangerous do people think pubs are? you gave us a flavour of the numbers of how much pubs are spreading, but from the medics you talk to, do they say, pubs, stay away? yes, the word you used, chris whitty did a presentation with mps and they used the word exposure. is that people catching covid in pubs, or people just in a pub in the day before they got coronavirus from somewhere? it is the last bit of what you said, adam. that's the important bit, where they have been before they tested positive. the difficult thing about this is that it's difficult to say it isjust pubs. people will spread the virus wherever people meet. if we had far more people going into offices to work, they would be spreading more in offices than it is at the moment. so it really is a function of where people are. that is what you have to unde

scotland's mps overwhelmingly against the tori paragraph but the prime minister forced it through anyway. and the biggest attacks on scottish parliament in the history of evolution. can i ask the prime minister, not a difficult question. why does he think the people of scotland have more trust in him? >> he is completely wrong, what he says about the internal market, and the people of scotland, a clearer account, supported by the leader of the opposition, devolved power back to scotland, gives power back to scotland, enables scotland not just to take control of scotland's spectacular fisheries but also markets, scottish agriculture around the world and the historic day, after 23 years this government, lifted the ban on british beef in america and scottish beef will be going to the united states thanks to efforts of the british government and that is a fact that might inform his electorate in scotland. >> i don't know what that was but it is little wonder, 50% and falling after that performance. bubbling, mumbling but no answer. i will tell the prime minister. >> order. i expect the prime

darkness but we are going to do with the local and the regional approach the policy as indicated by those tory m.p.'s concerns is driven by the vast economic burden of the pound demick one think tanks predicted that almost 3000000 people will be unemployed by christmas after the chancellor's furlough scheme ends on october the 31st while more than 2000000 people in england on the government's shielding list and considered vulnerable to coronavirus due to health issues will mostly be told to take precautions but not to stay at home to the anger of patients groups of people who for example are on it was because we're simply not at it so you know work are able to have some protections that is how financial protection you talked about that is in very high risk areas such as a little somewhere like that they are not going to work however there's no protection for these new financial support they may be able to get. only a deal is done locally so actually the choice between whether to go to work on public transport and of course needing to keep her job is very difficult once in a as the situation wo

the boss, dido harding, is coming under ever so polite criticism by a senior tory backbencher.ossible to her, she has been a tremendous asset, but the test and trace capability clearly needs to move up several gears and it is what leadership does, not who leadership is, that really matters. as for cutting the self—isolation period, the guidance for europe does say that if somebody tests negative after day ten, they could end quarantine, but that this carries a residual risk. catherine burns, bbc news. the latest government figures show 19,790 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. that means the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is 21,628. 1,015 people had been admitted to hospital on average each day over the week to last tuesday. 151 deaths were reported, that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. that means on average in the past week, 179 deaths were announced every day, which takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to 411,896. the welsh first minister has told the bbc there will be
