the snp�*s westminster leader has questioned the prime minister over the uk government's decision to the scottish parliament. uk ministers are concerned the legislation could exceed holyrood's devolved powers. so they're referring the bill, and another on local government, to the supreme court for a ruling. instead of supporting this new law, the uk government is shamefully taking the scottish parliament to court in order to strike it down. apparently, the only basis of the uk government's legal case is that the law constrains westminster powers. so, prime minister, can you do everyone a favour by explaining how protecting children's rights in scotland threatens the tory government in london? hear, hear! the government of the united kingdom ratified the un convention on the rights of the child 30 years ago. we all supported it. it has nothing to do with the rights of vulnerable children, which we all protect, this is simply an attempt by the snp to stir up constitutional chaos and create another fictitious, fictitious bone of contention between themselves and the rest of the country.

we the uk government has taken a new ste -. ~ ., ., new step. have made the difficult but vital _ new step. we have made the difficult but vital decision - new step. we have made the difficult but vital decision to l difficult but vital decision to add india to the red list. this means anyone who is not a uk or irish resident or british citizen cannot enter the uk if they have been in india in the previous ten days. uk and irish residents and british citizens who have been in india in the past ten days before their arrival will need to complete hotel quarantine by ten days from the time of arrival. the rules will — from the time of arrival. the rules will come _ from the time of arrival. the rules will come in _ from the time of arrival. the rules will come in from - from the time of arrival. the rules will come in from 4am on friday morning, less than four months bad flights from the uk, trying to container uk variant. with this virus, dynamics between countries can change quickly. seats back to the uk before friday were already in short supply

i i mean, this is clearly- the argument that the uk government's been using about various aspects oflty perhaps - is is what the broad public policy objective that is - justified by spending rather a lot of money on apparently i relatively expensive wallpaper? so, that's why perhaps the defence of, "well,| look," you know, "you may not like how we did it, - but it was all for the good" mightjust not be ready- for the government in the way. that it has been on other issues. now, i think laura knows much more about this than i do, _ so she may have a take - on this, but at the moment, my perspective is that - at least, as far as as what is in the public domain, - we are not yet at that point. what a briefing! thanks, john! was professor sirjohn curtice on television? yes, he was! extensively! laughter. now, laura, parliament prorogued today... yes, say that when you haven't got your teeth in! ..which is the posh world for "stopping" because there's going to be a queen's speech in a couple of weeks when sort of it starts again, when it un—prorogues! or re—rogues — i don't know what it i

the supreme court will be the venue for the latest clash between the uk and scottish governments — thisthe scottish parliament. uk ministers say they're concerned the legislation could exceed holyrood's devolved powers. the snp�*s westminster leader sees another motive. apparently, the only basis of the uk government's legal case is that the law constrains westminster powers. so, prime minister, can you do everyone a favour by explaining how protecting children's rights in scotland threatens the tory government in london? hear, hear! borisjohnson disagreed, and accused the snp of seeking to stir up division. if they really cared about the rights of the child, mr speaker, they would do much more to improve education in scotland, where they are so lamentably failing, mr speaker. mps sanctioned by china for spreading what it called "lies and disinformation" about the country have stepped up their campaign to highlight human rights abuses against the uighur muslim minority group in xinjiang. one of those sanctioned spoke out against the government's refusal to include in the trade bill a me

what is the uk government response?e of the state of the economy, because of the impact the pandemic has had. the simple fact we are facing historic deficit levels and there is massive borrowing at the moment the government has to make cuts somewhere and it has made the decision to take £4 billion out of the aid budget and they think although this is controversial in terms of aid agencies and others protesting they think that actually there are many people out there who think that charity begins at home and you need to focus on rebuilding the uk economy. the government also says the uk despite these cuts remains one of the biggest donors in the world and is still going to be given £10 billion to eat around the world this year so they think there is a discussion to be had. what we are seeing is the slow impact of those cuts and there is going to be lots more in months to come. fiur lots more in months to come. our diplomatic— lots more in months to come. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, thank you very much. britain's biggest

in just over 100 days�* time, every adult in the uk should have been vaccinated. the government plan, despite growing signs the astrazeneca jab can be linked to a very rare form of blood clot. after the last 2a hours, we now know that the vaccine works and is breaking the chains of... breaking the link from cases to deaths. we know the roll—out is working, we know the safety system is working and we are on track to meet the goal of offering to all adults by the end ofjuly and the speed of the roll—out won't be affected by these decisions. when you get the call, get the jab. 79 people in the uk have now been diagnosed with the blood clot, a fraction of the 20 million given the astrazeneca jab. there is still no proof the vaccine is causing the very rare condition. the regulator said the link is now getting firmer. neil astles died on easter sunday after suffering a blood clot weeks after receiving his vaccine. we cannot know for sure what caused his death but his family say they were told by doctors a link was likely. despite what has happened to neil and the impact on ourfamily,

he says it's time the uk government took action. this is totally unacceptable.o speak at some level to a civilised way to explain this military regime, that the vicious military regime to tell them that this not burma, this is london, this is uk. so we urge the uk government, to use every possible way that this is not the right thing to do. yes, because these actions are clearly disrespecting the ambassador but the host country and some kind of challenge is really to the uk. do you expect the uk will actually take action? i have a confidence that it is time to show the muscle, right, because this is on our soil. i mean, something is the limit but they have crossed the limit, so we have to tell them that that's not going to be business as usual, the way they are killing every day basis in burma and showing their ruthlessness and the same practice they are doing on our soil in uk, that's not going to be accepted. the us state department says america is prepared to remove sanctions on iran, in order to resume compliance with the iran nuclear deal. talks are taking

we are very pleased that dcms, the cultural department for the uk government, has been working very hards and businesses to bring about these nine pilot schemes, which are looking at testing many pieces of the puzzle for us to move forward and be able to open. looking at things like customer behaviour, mitigating measures as well as looking at the logistics for the covid certificates, which has been debated heavily over the last few days. we have had pretty much the last week or two to really sort of indulge ourselves in information. initially, it was a limited release of looking at covid passports. we are now waiting for a response from a prime minister. i think the issue we have at the moment is if we are not forearmed were forewarned, it is difficult to anticipate or understand the impacts of the government's ban without understanding them fully and being able to scrutinise them to a point to see whether they logistically work for us, and then we can start moving forward by being able to communicate appropriately with customers and levy some sort of understanding of how that will work

and they are calling on the uk government to continue to reject the unlawful military regime in myanmarhe military council in myanmar. they say they have full faith in the uk government to do so. we are waiting to hear a response to their specific points from the foreign office, but we did hearfrom dominic raab, who tweeted, paying tribute to the former ambassador, saying, we condemn the bullying actions of the myanmar military regime and pay tribute to the ambassador for regime and pay tribute to the ambassadorfor his regime and pay tribute to the ambassador for his courage. regime and pay tribute to the ambassadorfor his courage. in his tweet he said the uk calls for an end to the crew and appalling violence and a swift restoration of democracy. —— an end to the coup. the former ambassador left and drove off shortly after that statement. we will wait to see what the foreign office says in response that office says in response that statement delivered a few months ago just outside the embassy here. thank ou, just outside the embassy here. thank you. charlotte — just outside the embassy

a formal uk government apology after failing to commemorate properly more than 100,000 black and asianple who died fighting for the british empire during the first world war. the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, has claimed "the tide is turning for action" after a number of world leaders, including president biden, made new pledges to cut emissions on the opening day of a global climate summit. the us, canada, japan and south korea all announced revised targets, but two of the biggest emitters, india and china, made no fresh commitments. the latest data shows china it's the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, estimated at 28% in 2019. the us was second at 15%, and india was third at 7%. 0ur science editor david shukman has this report. the more the world heats up, the more dangerous it becomes. that's what this is all about. more intense flooding in the uk and many parts of the world is more likely. while in some regions, like central america, the big fear is droughts getting even worse. failed harvests are already forcing thousands to leave their homes. all of a sudden,

campaigners say the failure of a uk government defence agency international military services to payillion debt to iran has led to the detention of dual nationals. an issue raised by a former foreign secretary. what are the consequences going to be for iran hostage diplomacy, other than words, because we know they don't fundamentally care what we think or what we say, and they have to know that there will be consequences. we have to do our part by settling this issue which, however unjustified, is being linked to nazanin�*s incarceration, and that's taking a very long time. we will investigate the full range of options but as i said before it would be inappropriate for me to speculate at the dispatch box as to what they might be. liberal democrats drawing l colleagues across the house in the condemnation - of the actions of the iranian regime, but of course her heart has to go to richard, _ gabriela and the whole family. this must feel like one step forward in two steps back, i and i sincerely hope this. government is considering sanctions because surely| that's the next step now. la

remember, the legislation is there to the uk government does have the power to say yes or no to having�*s decision making, scottish parliament's decision making, right? so if you think about it, i know there has been huge attention on this, if they get that majority on their own, that doesn't mean there's going to be an independence referendum. there is going to be an almighty battle about whether or not there is going to be an independence referendum, even the snp themselves disagree about when themselves disagree about when the right time to have one would be. so you could say it would be. so you could say it would be. so you could say it would be seismic, especially because holyrood is set up almost specifically to make it really hard for anyone party to a majority, but one doesn't automatically lead to the other, despite what the narrative sometimes has been. and reportedly the snp had been slipping back in the last few weeks. so that was a very long answer, but i suppose in westminster people were starting to assume, this is kind of an unstoppable drift towards an independent scot
