thedailymirror--2020-09-13--Fury at Boris Johnson's plan to have 'opt-outs from human rights laws'

Boris Johnson has sparked fury after it emerged he is plotting `` opt-outs '' from human rights laws in certain situations after Brexit .
The Prime Minister is looking at changing the law to make it easier to deport migrants or asylum seekers , according to the Sunday Telegraph .
Changing the law could also make it harder to bring legal action against British troops overseas .
The changes would reportedly be made to the Human Rights Act , which was passed in 1998 to apply the European Convention on Human Rights in UK law .
The Convention is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Second World War which protects freedom from torture , family life , protection from discrimination and the right to a fair trial .
While the Tories today insisted they would not abandon the Convention , they have been vowing to reform the Act since before the general election .
Their 2019 manifesto pledged to find `` a proper balance between the rights of individuals , our vital national security and effective government . ''
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland told Times Radio : `` The Act is now 20 years of age , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carefully .
`` We 're working on ways on which we can examine that and do it in a mature and sensible way . ''
Mr Buckland insisted `` the idea that we 're going to leave the convention is for the birds . ''
But shadow justice secretary David Lammy said : `` Labour is proud of our country 's role in developing human rights at home and abroad .
`` Instead of giving unattributed briefings designed to distract , the Government should focus on getting a Brexit deal and defeating the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human rights would make life in Britain less secure and hold our country back on the world stage . ''
Liberal Democrat justice spokeswoman Wera Hobhouse added : `` This Conservative Government 's attacks on the rule of law must stop .
`` The Human Rights Act does not stop us deporting serious criminals .
Threatening to weaken people 's ability to challenge the Government just because the courts sometimes rule against you is the act of dictators and despots , not democrats . ''
According to the Sunday Telegraph , ministers are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ review in the coming weeks .
One option is said to be amending the Human Rights Act or disapply its provisions from new laws .
Less radical changes could affect how judges interpret the law , rather than changing the substance of the Act .
A government spokeswoman said : “ The UK is committed to the European Convention on Human Rights and to protecting human rights and championing them at home and abroad , but we believe that this does not require an additional binding international legal commitment .
“ How the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strong human rights protections is a matter for the UK as an autonomous country .
`` In the same way , it ’ s a matter for the EU and its member states to give effect to their own human rights protections according to their own legal orders . ''

The Prime Minister is reviewing the Human Rights Act - signed more than 20 years ago - and is reportedly drawing up plans for exemptions in cases like migrants and asylum seekers reaching the UK

Changing the law could also make it harder to bring legal action against British troops overseas.
The changes would reportedly be made to the Human Rights Act, which was passed in 1998 to apply the European Convention on Human Rights in UK law.
The Convention is a landmark treaty that drawn up after the Second World War which protects freedom from torture, family life, protection from discrimination and the right to a fair trial.

A government spokeswoman said: “The UK is committed to the European Convention on Human Rights and to protecting human rights and championing them at home and abroad, but we believe that this does not require an additional binding international legal commitment.
“How the UK gives effect to its long standing strong human rights protections is a matter for the UK as an autonomous country.
"In the same way, it’s a matter for the EU and its member states to give effect to their own human rights protections according to their own legal orders."

A son has blasted the government 's 'infuriating ' coronavirus test booking system after spending three days trying to secure a slot for his vulnerable dad , only to eventually turn up at a deserted facility .
A doctor tried multiple times to get a slot for the 60-year-old father who had a dry cough but was faced with hours of queues .
When the son , who did not want to be named , took over he found the government 's website plagued by error messages .
He was told the nearest centres were miles away and even contemplated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Blackpool , Oldham or Liverpool .
The following evening he got a slot at Manchester Airport and set off an hour early anticipating chaos but when he got there he found an empty car park , the Manchester Evening News reports .
Explaining the situation he said : “ My dad started showing Covid symptoms last week , so rang the doctor .
“ The doctor advised that he needed to have a Covid test and told him how to get one .
He rang up but was told the queue was five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ throughout the day but could n't even get to the stage to make an appointment .
“ After that , I spent two days trying to get him an appointment for a test using the online system on the gov.uk website .

“ We live in Trafford , but nothing nearby was showing up .
We were getting Oldham , Blackburn , Liverpool - I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but by the time I 'd got to the end of the application , the slots had gone or disappeared.
” But on the day of the test , the son says he was astounded to find a nearly empty site .
He added : “ We set off nearly an hour before the appointment , anticipating chaos due to the situation with trying to make an appointment and the total lack of availability .
“ The place was totally empty .
I mean not a single other vehicle there , or person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has , I estimate , five different testing bays , with space for hundreds of cars to queue for their test .

Ireland ’ s Foreign Minister has accused No10 of ‘ spin ’ and untruths as fury mounts at Boris Johnson 's plans to break international law over Brexit .
Simon Coveney furiously dismissed reports the EU wanted a `` blockade '' of goods between Britain and Northern Ireland when the transition period ends on December 31 .
Under Boris Johnson 's Withdrawal Agreement , some goods travelling between Britain and Belfast will need EU customs forms and tariffs , because they might enter the EU later on .
But the Prime Minister now wants to give UK ministers the power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goods being decided by a UK-EU joint committee .
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland today claimed the UK was forced to act because the Withdrawal Agreement `` conflicted '' with domestic law .
Mr Buckland accused the EU of being “ unreasonable ” about how the checks would operate .
And the UK 's chief Brexit negotiator Lord Frost tweeted today : `` It has been made clear to us in the current talks that there is no guarantee of listing us [ as a 'third country ' ] .
`` I am afraid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explicitly in these talks that if we are not listed we will not be able to move food to Northern Ireland .
`` The EU 's position is that listing is needed for Great Britain only , not Northern Ireland .
`` So if GB were not listed , it would be automatically illegal for NI to import food products from GB . ''
But Mr Coveney hit back at reports the EU was trying to scupper trade between Britain and Northern Ireland .
He told the BBC 's Andrew Marr Show : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ That is the kind of inflammatory language coming from No10 which is spin and not the truth.
” It comes as fury mounts from the EU , Tory backbenchers and three former Prime Ministers over Boris Johnson 's plan to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement .
Rebel Tory backbenchers will bring an amendment tomorrow which would give Parliament a veto on the changes .
Mr Coveney said the UK ’ s reputation as a trusted negotiating partner “ is being damaged in a very serious way ” .
And he accused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we want ” or threatening to legislate anyway .
Mr Coveney said the British government is “ breaking its word ” and “ has already broken commitments in the Political Declaration ” while the EU has “ remained consistent ” .
“ My message to the British people is there ’ s only one side that ’ s threatening to break international law here , ” he said .
“ The British government in my view is behaving in an extraordinary way and the British people need to know that.
” Mr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and warned if there isn ’ t a trade deal by the end of the year , “ both the Irish and British economies are going to be damaged significantly .
“ And that would be a significant failure of politics - not anything else.

She told Sky News ' Sophy Ridge on Sunday : `` What ’ s happened this week has certainly set us back .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it was voted through the UK Parliament nine months ago , it was voted through the European Parliament nine months ago and now this week one side of the agreement essentially has decided to unilaterally on its own change elements of that agreement .

They refueled at the Royal Oak pub in Newick, Sussex - well, losing weight is thirsty work!
Piers grinned as he captioned the photo: "Brothers... reunited for first time this year."
The star recently revealed that burglars stole more than £10,000 from his family while they were in the South of France on holiday.
Things didn't get much better when he returned.
He confessed he's been shamed into going on a diet after he was called names like "fatso", "chubster" and "seven chins" after returning from the break.

Piers, 55, held his hands up to scoffing too much cheese and wine, and is now cutting back to just one glass a day of his favourite Bordeaux.
His wife Celia Walden has now arranged for him to work with a personal trainer and he's going to be eating healthy food such as salmon and vegetables.
Speaking to The Sun, Piers explained how he got ribbed over his weigh gain by his GMB co-star Susanna Reid.
Then cricket legend Kevin Pieterson hit him where it hurts.

He said: "Susanna calls me 'Chubster' and 'Fatso'.
"Even Dr Hilary piled in, and he’s a doctor!... And Kevin Pieterson calls me ‘seven chins’, which isn't very nice. I’m trying to get them down to six."
Piers put his weight gain down to indulging in his favourite foods over the summer but vowed to slim down.

thedailymirror--2020-09-13--'We would do things differently in event of Covid second wave', says top doctor

Hospitals learned a lot from the coronavirus pandemic and `` would do things differently '' in the event of a second wave , a top doctor has said .
As infections rise , new restrictions come in to force and local areas are locked down , intensive care consultant Dr Matt Morgan is bracing himself for a resurgence of the killer virus .
The research and development lead for Critical Care at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff has been at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus since day one but told WalesOnline how his and other hospitals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Among his armory are three new drugs which have proved far more effective at fighting Covid-19 than steroids were .
He said : `` We now have a drug called Remdesivir which can reduce deaths by up to a third .
Before we were using steroids , which have the effect of dampening down the immune system - almost effectively setting the immune system on fire .
`` It means people wo n't get so ill when they fight the virus .
`` We now have three kinds of drug in our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t work , which is just as important . ''
Extra large oxygen tanks , new PPE and zones in the hospital for different illnesses mean Dr Morgan is far more prepared than before .
In some parts of Wales , coronavirus cases are rising to levels last seen in June and hospitals are bracing themselves for a surge in cases as summer gives way to winter .
`` If anyone says they know what ’ s coming they are probably lying , '' Dr Morgan said .
He has n't seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for more than a month .
The break in patients has given him and his colleagues time to sit down and see what worked , and more importantly what did n't work , and to plan how they might approach a second wave .
`` We have learned a load of things , '' Dr Morgan said .
`` If we do have any influx we would definitely do things differently .
`` Hospitals all around the country now know the areas they are going to move and surge into if they see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have bigger tanks of oxygen because we know we need to run more machines when people are put on ventilators .
`` Dr Morgan believes a fundamental part of his role is providing care .
`` It 's called intensive care for a reason , '' he continued .
`` Yes , we have science and equipment , but it also comes down to care .
`` One critical thing is communicating with families .
One in five patients in intensive care sadly die so hopefully we are a lot better at communicating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
It 's something echoed by Dr Sarah Aitken , the woman in charge of dealing with the response to the Caerphilly outbreak .
She said : `` We 've done it all before and we 'll do it again .
The health board has the benefit of knowledge gained during the first wave , Dr Aitken said , and staff have been scrutinising audit data and ways of working to make sure they are better prepared this time round .
Part of this has been rushing to get a new super @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of time .
The Grange will help provide a vastly improved oxygen supply and extra capacity for single treatment rooms , both of which were vastly lacking in the early days of the pandemic .
`` This time , we know it is spreading and we are ready for it , '' said Dr Aitken .
`` The pandemic came on the back of winter .
Now , our staff are tired .
Having to cope with another increase in Covid on top of all this is a big ask .
We know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' Over in the Royal Gwent Hospital , ICU consultant David Hepburn is thinking the same , saying : `` We ’ re strapping in for another wave at the hospital - we really , really don ’ t want to do it all again . ''
Both Dr Aitken and Dr Morgan are taking proactive steps to ready their hospitals for the fight .
They wo n't be caught on the back foot this time round .
It 's been 21 weeks since the pandemic took hold when we speak and Dr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dominated the headlines through the peak of the crisis , there was a lot of good work being done to improve things too .
`` We started off with lots of tight-fitting masks that were difficult to work with , '' says Dr Morgan .
`` Now we have different forms - we have moved on to hoods which allow patients to see our faces and hear us talk .
`` We ’ ve long known in healthcare it isn ’ t just about the machines that go beep .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that is the well being of staff as well as the equipment . ''
Even so , the Covid crisis has brought about the `` ultimate balancing act '' says Dr Morgan , with the unwelcome but inevitable trade off between treating Covid patients and those with serious diseases like cancer and heart disease .
The coronavirus response has been at the detriment to some for those patients , Dr Morgan admits and the long term implications of that are still unknown .
`` It ’ s an impossible calculation to balance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We obviously have to continue to provide cancer care for outpatients while treating coronavirus cases too .
`` This time round we have zones in hospital that can continue elective care , which we did n't have before .
So rather than all Covid , we can do both . ''

He said: "We now have a drug called Remdesivir which can reduce deaths by up to a third. Before we were using steroids, which have the effect of dampening down the immune system - almost effectively setting the immune system on fire.
"It means people won't get so ill when they fight the virus.
"We now have three kinds of drug in our armour and we know things that don’t work, which is just as important."
Extra large oxygen tanks, new PPE and zones in the hospital for different illnesses mean Dr Morgan is far more prepared than before.
In some parts of Wales, coronavirus cases are rising to levels last seen in June and hospitals are bracing themselves for a surge in cases as summer gives way to winter.
"If anyone says they know what’s coming they are probably lying," Dr Morgan said.

He hasn't seen anybody coming into critical care with coronavirus for more than a month.
The break in patients has given him and his colleagues time to sit down and see what worked, and more importantly what didn't work, and to plan how they might approach a second wave.
"We have learned a load of things," Dr Morgan said.
"If we do have any influx we would definitely do things differently.
"Hospitals all around the country now know the areas they are going to move and surge into if they see an influx of patients.
"We have bigger tanks of oxygen because we know we need to run more machines when people are put on ventilators."Dr Morgan believes a fundamental part of his role is providing care. "It's called intensive care for a reason," he continued. "Yes, we have science and equipment, but it also comes down to care.
"One critical thing is communicating with families. One in five patients in intensive care sadly die so hopefully we are a lot better at communicating and have time to give family support."
It's something echoed by Dr Sarah Aitken, the woman in charge of dealing with the response to the Caerphilly outbreak.

She said: "We've done it all before and we'll do it again.
The health board has the benefit of knowledge gained during the first wave, Dr Aitken said, and staff have been scrutinising audit data and ways of working to make sure they are better prepared this time round.
Part of this has been rushing to get a new super hospital in Gwent up and running ahead of time. The Grange will help provide a vastly improved oxygen supply and extra capacity for single treatment rooms, both of which were vastly lacking in the early days of the pandemic.
"This time, we know it is spreading and we are ready for it," said Dr Aitken.
"The pandemic came on the back of winter. Now, our staff are tired. Having to cope with another increase in Covid on top of all this is a big ask. We know it's starting to spread again."
Over in the Royal Gwent Hospital, ICU consultant David Hepburn is thinking the same, saying: "We’re strapping in for another wave at the hospital - we really, really don’t want to do it all again."
Both Dr Aitken and Dr Morgan are taking proactive steps to ready their hospitals for the fight. They won't be caught on the back foot this time round.
It's been 21 weeks since the pandemic took hold when we speak and Dr Morgan says amid the PPE scandal that dominated the headlines through the peak of the crisis, there was a lot of good work being done to improve things too.

"We started off with lots of tight-fitting masks that were difficult to work with," says Dr Morgan. "Now we have different forms - we have moved on to hoods which allow patients to see our faces and hear us talk.
"We’ve long known in healthcare it isn’t just about the machines that go beep. It’s the people too.
"And part of that is the well being of staff as well as the equipment."

Even so, the Covid crisis has brought about the "ultimate balancing act" says Dr Morgan, with the unwelcome but inevitable trade off between treating Covid patients and those with serious diseases like cancer and heart disease. The coronavirus response has been at the detriment to some for those patients, Dr Morgan admits and the long term implications of that are still unknown.
"It’s an impossible calculation to balance," he says heavily. "We obviously have to continue to provide cancer care for outpatients while treating coronavirus cases too.
"This time round we have zones in hospital that can continue elective care, which we didn't have before. So rather than all Covid, we can do both."


thedailymirror--2020-09-13--Professor warns Brits face second Covid lockdown if trickle turns to 'cascade'

Brits face a new 'hard ' coronavirus lockdown if they do n't obey the new rule of six , a top professor has warned .
Prof Peter Openshaw , who advises government body SAGE , said he fears the `` trickle '' of cases will turn to a `` cascade '' .
The Imperial College scientist added `` we must act fast '' to stop the virus exploding - and warned a delay of even a “ few days ” could be “ dangerous ” .
It comes as social gatherings of more than six people including babies and toddlers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - with offenders facing £100 fines .
Two days ago Imperial published a study claiming coronavirus cases are doubling every week in England and the R number could already be at 1.7 .
That would mean each person who gets infected is giving the virus to 1.7 other people - spreading it exponentially .
Prof Openshaw told Sky News the rise in coronavirus infections among young people will “ inevitably ” cause more deaths when it spreads to the elderly .
He added : `` The rule of six ... does seem somewhat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and I can appreciate that .
`` It is going to cause pain and suffering for us to all go back to some degree of lockdown .
`` But if we don ’ t do this now we are going to be right back in hard lockdown in short order . ''
Government minister Robert Buckland today insisted a second full national lockdown was still a `` nuclear option '' .
Boris Johnson is desperate to stick to local restrictions area by area , instead of a blanket measures across England .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole of Birmingham and Manchester , as well as other large areas , No10 refused to rule out national action .
A source confirmed possible national plans in the `` arsenal '' include ordering all pubs and restaurants to close after 10pm or 11pm , as they have in Bolton .
Ministers are also looking at the option of advising up to 4.5million vulnerable or ill people to 'shield ' - either staying at home entirely , or taking extra care .
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said keeping schools , colleges and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family gatherings if new measures have to be brought in .
`` While social occasions are important ... they must take second place to those priorities , '' he said .
Official figures put R - the number of people infected by each Covid-19 carrier - at 1.0-1.2 overall in the UK .
But these are thought to be some weeks out of date .
And a leaked Department of Health memo claims the virus is now spreading again in care homes .
According to The Sunday Times , Health Secretary Matt Hancock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that outbreaks had been detected in 43 care homes .
Asked if Britain was on the “ edge of losing control ” Prof Openshaw , Professor of Experimental Medicine at Imperial College London , told Sky News ' Sophy Ridge on Sunday : “ Yes , I think that is right .
“ It ’ s a bit like water seeping through a dam .
It starts as a trickle and if you don ’ t do something about it , it can turn into a real cascade.
” He added : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so much harder to get this sort of thing under control if you delay even a few days .
`` This is potentially going to be quite dangerous now at this particular moment .
`` It is back in care homes as well , so we know these are very vulnerable pockets , it ’ s not just in the younger people , it ’ s starting to appear in even more vulnerable and inevitably it ’ s going to be followed by hospitalisations and deaths .
`` This isn ’ t a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out trying to party as hard as we can in the run up to Monday ’ s lockdown .

Peter Openshaw of Imperial College London warned a 'hard lockdown' will return in 'short order' if people fail to obey the new Covid-19 rule of six from right now
Brits face a new 'hard' coronavirus lockdown if they don't obey the new rule of six, a top professor has warned.
Prof Peter Openshaw, who advises government body SAGE, said he fears the "trickle" of cases will turn to a "cascade".
The Imperial College scientist added "we must act fast" to stop the virus exploding - and warned a delay of even a “few days” could be “dangerous”.
It comes as social gatherings of more than six people including babies and toddlers are made illegal in England from tomorrow - with offenders facing £100 fines.
Two days ago Imperial published a study claiming coronavirus cases are doubling every week in England and the R number could already be at 1.7.
That would mean each person who gets infected is giving the virus to 1.7 other people - spreading it exponentially.

Prof Openshaw told Sky News the rise in coronavirus infections among young people will “inevitably” cause more deaths when it spreads to the elderly.
He added: "The rule of six... does seem somewhat irrational in some of the detail, and I can appreciate that.
"It is going to cause pain and suffering for us to all go back to some degree of lockdown.
"But if we don’t do this now we are going to be right back in hard lockdown in short order."
Government minister Robert Buckland today insisted a second full national lockdown was still a "nuclear option".
Boris Johnson is desperate to stick to local restrictions area by area, instead of a blanket measures across England.
But with households already banned from mingling in the whole of Birmingham and Manchester, as well as other large areas, No10 refused to rule out national action.
A source confirmed possible national plans in the "arsenal" include ordering all pubs and restaurants to close after 10pm or 11pm, as they have in Bolton.
Ministers are also looking at the option of advising up to 4.5million vulnerable or ill people to 'shield' - either staying at home entirely, or taking extra care.
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said keeping schools, colleges and the economy open will be prioritised over family gatherings if new measures have to be brought in.
