the uk home secretary has approved this policy of france — boats carrying migrants back to the uk.ur patrols to intercept more boats. and so the uk's really not left with much choice but to be tough. the french are not being fair here, are they? they're just allowing the migrants to come in. you speak about a very serious problem, which is migration across the channel. we have this question of fishery. there are so many points where we need to keep calm and to respect what has been written in the treaty and to be careful about the future. because if you look at — let me just say what i think personally. we have to face climate change together. we have to face the fight against terrorism together. we have to fight against poverty in africa and migrations. we have to fight against the risk of financial instability — a new financial crisis. i have been the commissioner in charge of the financial crisis and the new regulations in the crisis in 2010. we have to look at this future and this necessary co—operation between us, between uk and the eu, and the uk and france, and to try where

indoor socialising is pretty much at full tilt in the uk. have recently introduced vaccine passports for some larger venues, but in the rest of the uk, they are not needed. as for masks, in scotland, they are legally required in some circumstances. in england, the government does not require them, but some local authorities in england do on public transport. but in reality, that is patchy. go on the underground in london and you will see lots of people without masks. that contrasts with, say, germany, where masks are legally required in certain places, and use is high. and the labour party thinks there's a lesson there. i don't understand why we don't mandate mask wearing on public transport. it is extraordinary. is it too much to ask, really, to ask someone on a crowded bus or tube to wear a mask? but also, forcing people to go back to work or ending any social distancing and ending advice about ventilation, all of these mitigations have been maintained on the continent. their levels are now a fraction of ours. but the data about the impact

then, these are the uk's covid deaths over the same period.e gradually rising, and higher then most of these same european countries. though all countries are seeing far lower death than before the vaccine arrived. and as case numbers rise, the uk government is saying this. with winter ahead, we can't blow it now. so we are going to do everything we can to maintain our lead, by strengthening our vaccination programme as our primary line of defence. so, no return of rules to contain the virus. instead, a re— emphasis on boosters and vaccinating children and those who have so far declined. vaccines are central to what the government calls its plan a normal tunnel. they are also central to understanding why infections are going up. . let me show you why. it starts with the speed of the vaccine roll—out. we had the —— one of the fastest starts in the world, and thatis fastest starts in the world, and that is a factor now. here isjohn byrne murdoch from the financial times. fist byrne murdoch from the financial times. �* , ., ., , byrne murdoch from

sticking with covid, the uk would corded higher- the uk would corded higher levels of infection in thes office estimate at 1.3 million people will have tested positive in that period. here is a health editor hugh pym. boosterjabs, like these being delivered in leeds today, are seen by ministers as vital in the drive to keep ahead of the virus. they are offered six months after a second dose but from today, the nhs has been told there can be flexibility on timing. for example, if someone, a doctor, is visiting a care home and there might be one or two residents that are just short of the six—month point, they can use their discretion and make sure everyone is boosted in the same session. daily reported cases may not be rising, but part of the explanation may be fewer school pupils coming forward for tests during half—term holidays. the office for national statistics does regular household testing, which picks up the underlying trend. the latest 0ns survey suggests that last week, 1.3 million people in the uk had the virus — higher than the peak injanuary. in england, one in 50 people ha
