think it is a collective failure in whitehall. establishment as i think, as frank was saying, they need to stand up more and if they see things that are wrong in this country, mi5 or mi6 need to have a channel by which they say so. because it is almost too much of a reluctance to say nothing for fear of intervening. and actually the price for that could be worse if you let bad people profit. i think worse if you let bad people profit. ithink in worse if you let bad people profit. i think in whitehall there has been a failure and a complacency. i was argument two whitehall folks were nicer than that we need a national strategy council to look forward to problems as well as a national security council and i get the same or vaguely condescending, we have it cove red or vaguely condescending, we have it covered and we know best what this report shows yet again that whitehall no longer knows best and is actually blocking reform which could help it do itsjob better post of it used to be authorised and frankly behaves more like a schoone

came underfire in both the commons and the lords, with borisjohnson accused of politicising a key whitehaller shake up at the top of government, which saw the current national security adviser, sir mark sedwill, who is also the cabinet secretary, and the country's top civil servant standing down. answering an urgent question from labour, the minister for the cabinet office michael gove defended the move. he is now the uk's brexit negotiator, shaping our future relationship with the eu, covering issues from trade and tariffs to security and defence corporation. as nsa, david frost will help to deliver this government's vision for britain's place in the world, supporting the prime minister in reinvigorating our national security architecture and ensuring we defend our interests and values across the globe. but labour questioned the appointment. the first duty of any government is to keep people safe. in carrying out that duty, any government should have objective and at times challenging advice from its national security advisers. it is why making a political appointment takes this government

and increasingly, there is an understanding that people in whitehall and in westminster simply don'te of these decisions and to allocate resources where it will add the greatest benefit. that's the opportunity of devolution. he may be in luck. the government has to deliver for the swathes of former labour voters, many in the north of england, who backed it at the last election. the covid—19 crisis comes at a time when ministers are increasingly focused on devolving power to the english regions. do you envisage, with us coming out of this crisis, a greater devolution of powers, in a sense, a more chequered government within england? yes, i think we do. clearly, there is a humility about what central government alone can achieve, and england is one of the most centralised countries in europe. i think we're looking at what we can do to deliver sensible devolution on an appropriate geographical framework. will it work? ben is an apprentice. he's 20, and is trying to become a highly skilled electronics engineer, an industry many hope will help power the region into recovery. he is less in

came underfire in both the commons and the lords — with borisjohnson accused of politicising a key whitehallavid frost's appointment was part of a wider shake up at the top of government, which saw the current national security adviser, sir mark sedwill, who is also the cabinet secretary and the country's top civil servant, standing down. answering an urgent question from labour, the minister for the cabinet office, michael gove, defended the move. he is now, of course, the uk's negotiator, shaping our future relationship with the eu, covering issues from trade and tariffs to security and defence cooperation. as i say, david frost will help to deliver this government's vision for britain's place in the world — supporting the prime minister in reinvigorating our national security architecture and ensuring that we defend our interests and values across the globe. but labour questioned the appointment. now, the first duty of any government is to keep people safe, and in carrying out that duty, any government should have objective and at times challenging advice from its national security advise

in whitehall, a 500—strong team was set up, processing thousands of offers from british business to makeons of pounds were issued to a range of firms, some to known suppliers, others with little past experience. now, some government decisions are being challenged in the courts, and mps want a closer look. we are very concerned about this general lack of oversight. when you are dealing with something at this pace, almost inevitably, there is going to be some attempt at fraud. the key thing that we'll be looking at is whether government had mechanisms in place to prevent that. and, crucially, to prevent the wrong equipment, you know, not proper equipment, being delivered to the front line. the government said to keep up supply, billions of items of ppe had been delivered, and more ordered. the firms that won these contracts didn't need a background in ppe, theyjust have to show they could make it or get hold of it. the whole point was finding new sources of supply. but in this urgent period, vast sums of public money were spent quickly on critical kit. and now the question is whether it wa

despite his promises, we have whitehall sources now briefing that "he has a tendency to overpromise andughter. what an unfair and wicked thing to say about the health secretary. which bit of all of this is actually world beating? i think his tone on that of sniping from the sidelines ill beholds the enormous effort on the previous work he did to support these things are across party lines. the secretary of state reminded us of the importance of a vaccine and i was interested to hear on the radio as i drove into parliament today representatives from the drug companies saying we might have a vaccine by october and a university dr telling us today is a great day. does the secretary of state agree? i am cautiously optimistic. the team is optimistic, and myjob is not to speculate on the likelihood of the oxford vaccine coming out. it is to make sure that should it come out, we are ready. the snp also wanted more information to be made available locally so contacts of the infected people can be traced. postcode information was actually insufficient, so by what date can he guarantee that every

that's a whitehall way of saying something that might be really embarrassing for the government.hat do you expect? well, i'm very keen to see this. some of it, of course, may be redacted, but ijust have to say that holding it back before the election, when it had been signed off by the intelligence agencies, i thought this was a despicable thing to do, and i will be looking at it very, very carefully to see why it was that it was being held back. unless of course, there are lots of reductions when it comes out, it is alljust, like, black blobs and it was like, oh, we waited all this time for this. it is also possible, someone suggested to me today, but i don't know if they were trying to throw me off the scent. it was suggested to me that it might not be that interesting after all, but it may create an overall picture, with lots of information that is actually already out there in the public domain, but everyone waits with bated breath and it could be as soon as monday, so watch this space. yeah. misha and pauline, thank you very much, that was really interesting, thank you. you'

in whitehall, a 500—strong team was set up, processing thousands of offers from british business to makes, others with little past experience. now, some government decisions are being challenged in the courts, and mps want a closer look. we are very concerned about this general lack of openness. when you are dealing with something at this pace, almost inevitably, there is going to be some attempt at fraud. the key thing that we'll be looking at is whether government had mechanisms in place to prevent that. and, crucially, to prevent the wrong equipment, you know, not proper equipment, being delivered to the front line. the government said to keep up supply, billions of items of ppe had been delivered, and more ordered, saying there is a robust process in place to ensure that orders are of high quality and meet strict safety standards, with the necessary due diligence undertaken on all government contracts. the firms that won these contracts didn't need a background in ppe, theyjust had to show they could make it or get hold of it. the whole point was finding new sources of supply. but in

the negro is present in whitehall were a went to high school. athletes. three negro we were frontier people and judging people by their merits had not died out. in a nod way, the negro was outside our tradition. in a sense, we never saw him like the way we saw friends. we never looked with honesty at negroes the way we examined the anatomy of a grasshopper, or speculated on the after-hours life of our teacher. we looked, but we had been told what to see and what we saw was not the reality but the way it was supposed to be. they played music and were always happy or so we were told. we were allowed to like them if we wished, but not to know them. they were something apart from our kind. gay,taining, funny, ignorant, foolish, and perhaps above all never to be trusted. conspiracy tome which all let what talents they had, even sadly the negro himself. bert williams, adding burnt corn to his face because his skin was not dark enough and in the process, added to the pattern. ♪ another standard joke was the negro, being ignorant, was filled with silly fears, fea

to arkansas, overwhelmed when he saw how many people came out to celebrate his 100th birthday at whitehallwar ii korean war veteran as well working as a man mechanic. lining up with flowers and balloons to come arraignment is big special day. congratulations and happy 100. thank you for your service. thank you for inviting us into your home and that's it for the "special report." fair, balanced, still unafraid. "the story" starts right now with martha maccallum. >> martha: good evening everybody, i martha maccallum in new york city and tonight we lead with the story. the perfect storm started as a virus broke out in america this winter and then we had the unprecedented lockdown that was put in place and concerns that the massive result of working unemployment with the unrest and instability and o uprising. hard to believe at that point but we've seen it. the racial tensions poured gasoline on the instability and now we see what was field. it's happening across the city erupting in clashes of all times big and small like this

the biltmore in north carolina, whitehall in florida, or hearst castle in california?hich we can't control, and let's now look at our goals. in other words, we only want to take as much risk as is necessary to achieve our goals. >> so, which gilded age mansion remains the largest private home in america? it's the biltmore estate in north carolina. >> it may not be the retirement home you'd expect for two high school teachers sandy and tim perkins -- a grand mansion on 100 acres outside princeton, new jersey. and the more you hear about it, the less likely it seems. an antique chateau dismantled in the 1940s and shipped from the french countryside across the atlantic by its new american owners. >> and they brought back the artisans to put it back together.. that's really cool. >> yes. >> not only does the wealthy wall street lawyer maurice smith put it back together, he fills it with historic interiors, salvaged from the vanderbilts' demolished gilded age palaces on 5th avenue. so this is not just chateau style? this is the real deal? the real. >> in the early '60s, the

it is not going to be civil servants in whitehall saying you have got to spend it on one—to—one teachingvidual heads. that was the message from the education secretary, gavin williamson. in terms of covid catch up, it's about making sure that teachers have the ability to do an assessment of the children where they fallen behind, what they've missed out on, how we can get the right types of interventions. what we have been encouraging on the £650 million that has been announced going to schools, we are giving schools the discretion on how to spend that but we have been looking at them to give extra coaching for small groups of children, making sure that if they fallen behind on their maths or the english or foreign languages, they have been given that little bit of extra support. the other thing interesting was listening to labour on this issue. they are critical because they say this extra cash does not make up for the cash lost out under austerity. but the interesting thing i thought was they seem much more supportive of children going back to school in september. you will remember prev

there is a widespread sense in whitehall that britain wasn't nearly as robust enough after the 2006 murdernenko with radioactive poisoning. two yea rs with radioactive poisoning. two years ago, skripal poisoning, britain acted robustly and it led to expulsion of russian agents from around the world. now, does that mean they were involved in any of the political activities this report is going to look at? we will have to find out in half an hour. thank you very much, frank. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. the scale of this, norman, and the timing of the publication? the scale of this, norman, and the timing of the publication7m the scale of this, norman, and the timing of the publication? it is going to have an impact, the question is how much does it resonate now? i say that because the report was actually pulled together in 2017, a lot of the events, as we have been hearing, look back quite a way before then. i wonder whether things might have moved on a bit and the very fact the government delayed publication, they got the report nine months ago, again has

—— whitehall that giving away power. types of community initiatives. 230,000 renters are going to be at risk of homelessness or eviction as we emerge from lockdown. with the prime minister urgently, today, they legislation it so that, cross—party, we can support those people at risk of homelessness before we break up for the summer recess ? before we break up for the summer recess? i'm grateful to the honourable lady and he's right to draw attention to one of the most remarkable features of the covid crisis, which is the way the country and the government were able to help thousands and thousands of homeless people to find accommodation they cooked it we saw in other countries where they were less fortunate, there were, i'm afraid, serious epidemics amongst the homeless. thankfully, we have so far avoided that and we are taking forward plans with my right honourable friend, the secretary of state for communities and local governments. we taking forward plans to ensure that the 15,000 do notjust come back onto the streets

whitehall and holyrood have pledged money, £10 million fund promised by holyrood, has any of that filteredere have not been any announcements about the 1.57 billion and that is obviously 97 million to scotland as part of barnet consequential is so we are just waiting for news. it is a really tough situation, to be in that sort of limbo. francis, listening to elizabeth, you must be live thankful you actually have been able to reopen and start making money again. 10096. and do you feel, from what you've seen so far, the customers, most customers are confident about coming back? that confidence is hugely important, isn't it? yeah, everybody is wearing their masks and everybody feels quite comfortable. seeing we've got the screens makes them feel comfortable. and you feel you've been given enough advice and at the right advice about what to do to get to this point? yeah, a lot of it we just to get to this point? yeah, a lot of it wejust decided to get to this point? yeah, a lot of it we just decided ourselves but, yeah. you've been able to piece all the bits of the puzzle together to make sure

it also highlights that this is being let with a fragmented response across whitehall and government.nt in the world that takes more robust steps to protect our democracy, to protect critical national infrastructure and to protect our intellectual property, as i have said, by interference from russia or anybody else. frankly, ithink interference from russia or anybody else. frankly, i think that everybody understands that these criticisms are motivated by a desire to undermine the referendum on the european union that took place in 2016, the result of which he simply cannot bring himself to accept. serious gap in our official secrets act. laying bare for 18 months, that is all the prime minister has to say about it. one way the government can seek to clamp down on russian influence is to prevent the spread of kremlin backed disinformation. social media companies have a big role to play, but the report also highlights serious distortions in the cupboards by russia, state—owned broadcasters. broadcasts pose actual and potential harm. the supreme minister agree with me that it is time to

we have been up against the medical establishment, the establishment in whitehall, and it looks like's broadcast. in the north it will be drier and bright, with some sunshine and showers, but in the south, cloudy and wet. that is pretty much the forecast for the next couple of days as well. you can see all this clouds just romping across england and wales, and northern ireland for a time. in the northern half of the country, clear skies and a colder start. in fact, there is an air frost skies and a colder start. in fact, there is an airfrost in skies and a colder start. in fact, there is an air frost in the highlands this morning, but we do have some sunshine and we will see showers through the day. northern ireland, and you can see how the clouds encroaching from the south. some rain coming in later, and keeping up across wales. very murky conditions this morning, and misty as well. just really don't. temperatures, highs of 19 or 20 down towards london. this evening and overnight, here comes the rain, moving across northern ireland, england and also wales, but north of that, once ag

swiftly and start imposing lockdown is if they need to without having to go back and forward to whitehalle is government united on this, we heard sir patrick vallance yesterday sent not necessarily any need to change in working from home, i was need to change in working from home, iwasa need to change in working from home, i was a department of health preparing for a second wave in winter and what is the logic of saying to everyone go back to work, go back to school. go back saying to everyone go back to work, go back to school in september? there are two things. the chief scientific adviser patrick vallance is at the centre of both of them. he published a report saying there could be 120,000 deaths if there is a second wave of the virus and if it went unmitigated. what we're seeing today, the mitigations from the government, there are attempts to try make sure the health services and overwhelmed. in addition to that, one of the big criticisms during the first wave has been that people suffering from other conditions including cancer, might have had some of their treatment stopped... i ha
