how many times have i asked the government to pay for testing trace?o local authorities the money is still not there. we should be able to pay for that as a local authority which is already stretched. the department of health told us that since the testing trace service relaunched three months ago almost 360,000 people have been reached and were contact details were shared by those testing positive 87% of their contacts were reached and told to self—isolate. hundreds of thousands of students are due to arrive at university over the coming weeks, but what will the experience be like for freshers at what should be one of the most exciting times of their lives? earlier, quintin mckellar, vice chancellor of the university of hertfordshire, explained what will await students at his university. the safety of our staff and our students is of paramount importance to us. but when they come onto the campus, they will see many of the things that they will see in many other public places. there will be lots of signage, signage which makes them follow one—way syste

thanks to the efforts of nhs test and trace thousands of people, nurses, doctors and young people, we now have not only testing more capacity, more than any other country in europe, the capacity today that a record high and should pay tribute to their work. >> i listen to the answer the prime minister gave, yesterday he said the opposite of what he said today. everybody in this chamber could see it and he talks about testing. can i remind the prime minister that last week he admitted testing currently has huge problems, we plainly don't have enough testing capacity was the health secretary said testing would take weeks. pretending it isn't a problem is part of the problem, prime minister. it is unclear, let's test the prime minister's explanation. is that the explanation for the problems, the problem he acknowledged before the committee. the explanation for the prime minister that we haven't got enough capacity because nobody could have expected the rise in demand or is it we've got all the capacity we need but people are being unreasonable, the hancock defense. which is it? >> contin

trace? of joe biden's former rivals looking to give the nominee a boost in a crucial swing state. michael bloomberg announced he helped raise $20 million so the exfelons in florida can vote in the election. this is days after the court ruled that florida felons must pay all fines about legal fees before they regain the right to vote. we're joined by pam bondi, the former florida attorney general. it's always good to see you here. ron desantis, the governor of florida won the victory in court saying the felons have to pay fines before they can vote and now michael bloomberg swooped in saying he has $20 million to help him pay the funds. >> he is trying to swoop in our state many times. he has a weird obsession with florida. in 2015, he took out $10 million in the hit ads against me and fellow other attorneys general. how did that work out for him? not so great. then he runs for president. sinks hundreds of millions of dollars in the race and does not get one electoral vote in florida or anywh

but this one the dangers that is happening with testing trace because testing trace serves a couple oftifying those positive cases, telling them to isolate entries tracing their contacts and telling those to isolate, but did does have a very valuable service to. it tells us where the infection is up and down the country, where cases are spiking and where things are improving and that is the tool that allows us to have local measures, devon credibly local lockdowns and the danger is the testing trace cannot keep up and we lose sight of where the virus is, that is the kind of thing that increases the likelihood that we might need new national parks. and talking by the testing of the stop of the episode, i am not sure if you told us of the government can the fixes next few weeks. we know there is the target of half a million test by the end of october, but people are having a hard time now. what levers can matt hancock and borisjohnson pull levers can matt hancock and boris johnson pull now levers can matt hancock and borisjohnson pull now to levers can matt hancock and boris johnson pull

start tracing... but alex says it fell short of what she expected. for four months and i've spoken to one person in that time? i expected to be busy all the time but instead i was sat in my bedroom or i was sat in my living room, literally like a robot pressing a button hoping that a case was going to pop up. it is demoralising. latest figures show that just over one in five people who have tested positive still are not being reached. if you test positive for covid—19... the government has set aside £12 billion for test and trace, an estimated 1 billion had been spent by the end ofjuly and there are questions about how it is being used. it is substantial sums of money going out of the door and we don't know exactly what it is achieving. they should never shy away from being open about how taxpayers' money is being spent because in the end we all have to pay this back. the department of health says the system is one of the largest in the world. it works with a wide range of private and public sector partners. it says local authorities have been an int

three months ago today, the test and ster said trace can be a real game changer for us. health acked up by the whereary who said finding eople test positive is the single most positive thing to stop the spread of the virus. the complete said opposite. standing there, he said testing has very little with the spread of the transmission of the disease. both can't be right. which is it, mr. prime minister? is an obvious effect in biology and epidemiology that is transmitted by human contact or aerosol contact. is one of the great and tages of testing traits, it is the result is that that's why we've been able to deliver the local lockdowns and why we are able to say it is necessary to take the decisive actions which to drive the virus down and keep our economy moving, that is the point. >> why yesterday did the prime minister say testing or tracing had nothing to do with the spread or transmission of the >> why yesterday did the prime minister say testing or tracing had nothing to do with the spread or transmission of the disease? >> i hesitate to reprove the right honorable

front as a test and trace system in the headlinerfront page as a test and trace system in the headlinerink it's difficult to dispute unless you're a nester that it is really not performing as it should, despite the fact that obviously, it is at the fact that obviously, it is at the step up its ability to offer hundreds of thousands of tests from the start and the people that work on that have done incredible jobs but, it is just overwhelming now. and i suss in bits of it in the supply chain in order to make it a bit easier and go through the experience of delivery already and that will create all sorts of issues when it comes to procurement and process and quite a lot of this due to the first lockdown, pp system tenure was fairly rushed through and there've been the few high—profile cases that did not have the experience and would not in any under circumstances been granted that and i think the public to be keeping a very close eye on that. but as i say, it comes down to the failure of the system at this moment. clinic it does so because the problem that the testing system is failing in

what they really need to do is focus more on contact tracing and massively scale up contact tracing andcomponent of the response. that has started a bit too late and that is why we are in the situation we are in. why are we seeing this pattern in the uk and other european countries? an opening out in the summer and very predictably the numbers go up as you come into the autumn and the change in weather, more indoor weather, schools and work increasing. it seems baffling that governments have not got ahead of this virus, the pattern of it, the obvious pattern of it. thank you for saying it is baffling. it is one of the great mysteries to me and other public health experts. this is completely predictable. we know the virus spreads easily, we know it spreads when people are in contact with each other. countries that were allowing groups as large as 500 or 100 people to meet together, now we are seeing the results, which is that the virus has been spreading. it is probably spreading much more in the spring, but we were not testing as much so we cannot compare this period with that period. w
