The first minister has condemned attacks on police in north Belfast .
Petrol bombs and stones were thrown at police around the North Queen Street area on Saturday in a second night of trouble .
The trouble involved young people and marked a continuation of violence from Friday night .
Speaking on BBC NI 's Sunday Politics , Arlene Foster urged those involved to `` ask themselves what sort of a Northern Ireland do they want to live in ? ''
The police said officers from Tactical Support Group were deployed to the area .
On Saturday night officers were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near the New Lodge flats and a small fire was started in the middle of the road .
Officers dressed in riot gear carried out searches of the area , but were targeted along with police vehicles .
Supt Lorraine Dobson said : `` As officers attempted to engage with youths in the area last night , they came under attack from youths , some of whom were masked , who threw bottles and masonry .
`` Damage has been caused to a number of our vehicles but , thankfully , none of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are again today appealing to young people who are involved in this type of criminal and anti-social behaviour to stop .
You need to realise the consequences of your actions , and the impact it has on the community . ''
She also appealed to parents and guardians to `` know where your young people are , who they are with and what they are doing '' and for those in the community with influence `` to ensure we do not see a repeat of this senseless activity '' .
`` We will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deter those responsible in a proportionate manner , and we will seek to gather evidence to bring those responsible before the courts , whether through evidence gathering or arrests at the time , '' added Supt Dobson .

bbcuk--2020-07-11--Coronavirus: Hundreds of positive Covid-19 tests added

Hundreds of cases of coronavirus have now been added to official Public Health Wales ( PHW ) figures .
Results from more than 70,000 tests from non-NHS laboratories have been displayed separately from the headline statistics published daily up until now .
But these are now being added , showing 1,049 cases .
PHW said it had been `` working for some time to present as complete a picture as possible '' of Covid-19 data .
The latest figures show 20 new cases - seven processed by PHW laboratories and 13 from commercial , non-NHS labs .
• What do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wales ?
• Face masks 'not a magic bullet ' to stop the virus PHW admitted that integrating the new data alongside its own reporting system had been complex .
But it said it had made `` good progress '' and from Saturday had been able to introduce additional reporting into its daily information .
`` As a result we are reporting increases today in our total case numbers and to our daily total of new cases , '' said a spokesman .
`` This is to be expected when we include results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people encouraged to get tested .
The data have been previously displayed separately on our dashboard . ''
It said it was likely to be overestimating individual cases at this stage and work was `` ongoing to remove duplicate entries as quickly as we can '' .
All four UK nations have used commercial testing to boost capacity .
Home kits and tests performed in some test centres in Wales are processed in a network of diagnostic Lighthouse Labs in England , while those performed in hospitals and other test centres are processed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new data being published , epidemiologist Prof Gabriel Scally , a member of Independent SAGE group , warned that not having all positive cases in the data together would be a `` further handicap '' to eliminating coronavirus in Wales .
`` Wales , Scotland , Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland should really be aiming to get down to zero cases and eliminate domestic transmission , '' he said .
`` That 's the way forward - and to do that you need good testing and good data .
`` Any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not being available , or being for number of tests rather than number of individuals - all of that interferes with the smooth running of what needs to be a very smooth operation . ''
While he accepted that using commercial laboratories meant more tests could be done , he said the system was not `` fit for purpose '' because it took too long to send tests to English labs , leading to delays in contact tracing .
`` The overall system should be restructured .
It should be based locally and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' he said .
The PHW dashboard shows more than 155,500 tests by its laboratories but there have also been 70,186 tests in non-NHS Wales labs .
These saw 13 positive tests reported on Saturday , bringing the total from this source to 1,049 .
PHW epidemiologist Dr Chris Williams clarified that the positive commercial lab data was also used as part of the Test , Trace , Protect system , adding that using non-Welsh laboratories meant anyone could get a test .
`` Testing was offered to everybody in the UK on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` We all signed up to that because it 's a good idea to offer people testing .
`` That was through the UK portal - what 's called the Lighthouse Labs .
That meant that people could sign up to have a test posted to them or arrange to do it by another means .
`` The general population picked up on the opportunity of those tests , and also some of our health boards have been using that capacity to do some of their local testing . ''
The Welsh government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fast turnaround times '' .
`` To that end , and to help protect our critical workers including health and care workers , we 're making use of Welsh labs and the UK-wide Lighthouse Lab system . ''
Scotland has been integrating commercial Lighthouse Labs data with its own initiatives since 15 June , while Northern Ireland has integrated the data as of 25 June .
On 2 July , Public Health England increased the public availability of positive case data to include community testing after criticism its figures did not reflect the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , First Minister Mark Drakeford said the fall in numbers of positive tests was because there was less coronavirus around but he recognised faster results were important .
`` We do want to make sure the tests come back more quickly and we are beginning to see moves in that direction , '' he said .
`` Where things are urgent , as they were in north Wales in the two outbreaks we had there then we were able to make sure that the vast majority of tests were back within 24 hours @ @

"Any glitches around information not being compatible or not being available, or being for number of tests rather than number of individuals - all of that interferes with the smooth running of what needs to be a very smooth operation."

Primark said it will not take advantage of a £30m handout from the government , potentially putting pressure on other major firms not to take taxpayer money .
Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced last week that all businesses will be paid £1,000 for each employee they bring back from furlough .
Primark placed around 30,000 workers on the government 's coronavirus job retention scheme .
But it said it has now brought them all back and would not ask for the payment .
`` The company removed its employees from government employment support schemes in the UK and Europe in line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its stores , '' said a spokesperson for Primark 's owner Associated British Foods .
`` The company believes it should not be necessary therefore to apply for payment under the bonus scheme on current circumstances . ''
Announcing the Job Retention Bonus in last week 's summer economic update , Mr Sunak said : `` One of the most important things we can do to prevent unemployment is to get as many people as possible from furlough back to their jobs . ''
Companies can get a £1,000 per person bonus if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for at least three months after the government 's wage payment scheme ends in October .
There are currently 9.4 million on the government 's furlough scheme who , if they all returned to work , could cost the public purse more than £9bn in bonus payments .
Mr Sunak said the Job Retention Bonus scheme would be open to `` all '' companies .
But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer criticised the scheme for not being targeted on those companies that needed it most .
While he agreed that the government `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : `` Our concern is the action they 've taken is n't focused on the right places , so the Jobs Retention Bonus is a bonus for all jobs and many of those jobs , many of the people would have been brought back in any event .

Jim Harra , chief executive of HMRC and the Treasury 's principal accounting officer , refused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling the Chancellor in a letter that it does not represent `` value for money '' .

`` However , at this stage , it 's too early to confirm our plans to use the furlough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this week . ''
M & S said in May it had put 27,000 staff on furlough who are being brought back on a gradual basis .

He said: "Some people asked: 'How long do we have to continue to do this?' Some felt one last week was enough.
"I had to encourage them: 'We have to continue to push for equality.'"
Hamilton twice gave the raised-fist, black power salute after winning the race, as he climbed out of his car and standing on the podium.
The gesture rose to fame when US sprinters Tommy Smith and John Carlos deployed it as the American national anthem played when they collected their medals at the 1968 Olympics.
The drivers did demonstrate their support for anti-racism and equality before Sunday's race, just as they had at the Austrian Grand Prix the week before, but not all of them were present this time.
The majority of those who attended the ceremony took the knee alongside Hamilton, using a gesture that has become associated with support for anti-racism and opposition to police brutality.
And all the drivers who were there wore T-shirts saying: 'End Racism', while Hamilton's said: 'Black Lives Matter.'
The drivers insist they all stand against racism and Hamilton said he believed the fact not all drivers were at the protest was down to circumstance.
Hamilton said: "After the drivers' briefing (on Friday), we had this debate of whether we were going to do it again.
"I said: 'Look, racism is going to be here longer than our time here and people of colour who are subject to racism don't have time to take a moment to protest and that be it.'
Hamilton celebrated his win by raising his right fist in the air
"There were some who were like: 'I already did it last week, I'm not doing it again.' There were some that continued to have the same approach as the first week. And that's why I tried to spend a little more one-on-one time with those who had chosen to stand and just have a chat.
"From the drivers' point of view, we are going to become closer. I am not saying everyone is going to be taking a knee but as we talk about this more often and I like to think we'll all be together understanding take a knee.
"But because we planned it, it wasn't in the FIA schedule, it was all a rush. We were supposed to be there at 15 minutes to, I was there at 10 to. There were guys coming from much further back (on the grid) and we just got on with it.
"Some did try to get there but it was too late. Moving forward, maybe next week we will try to do a better job if we are to do the same thing. But it's not my choice."
Hamilton paid tribute to his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas and his team for taking the knee alongside him before the race, and said the team would keep the car in its new black, anti-racism, pro-diversity colour scheme all year.
"We are going to be fighting and pushing for it all year and this is going to be a lifelong thing for me," he said.
F1 has announced its own pro-diversity programme and chairman and chief executive Chase Carey has donated $1m of his own money to it. But Hamilton said more needed to be done.
"We have to think what we can do as a sport," he said. "Those are nice signs (around the circuit) but action is needed."
"It is great to see Chase being so kind as to donate $1m and it's great to see the FIA also stepping up and giving $1m but if you don't know the problem then you can't fix it. And $1m doesn't really go that far.
"So a lot of work has to go on with F1 and the FIA need to be part of it and the drivers need to be a part of it also as we have great voices and platforms."

Cherries stun Foxes in second-half blitz
Bournemouth were six points adrift of safety before kick-off
It was a bad weekend for Bournemouth before they even kicked a ball and looked like getting worse an hour into proceedings at Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries found themselves six points adrift of West Ham and Watford, while Aston Villa's victory against Crystal Palace saw Eddie Howe's side drop to 19th in the table.
They then gifted Leicester a goal after 23 minutes as Dan Gosling gave the ball away and Lloyd Kelly made a mess of clearing Kelechi Iheanacho's cross to allow Vardy to pounce.
It looked like Leicester were going to cruise to three points until Schmeichel's error allowed Stanislas to level from the spot on 66 minutes.
Suddenly Bournemouth were a changed side, and Solanke slotted his first Premier League goal for the club one minute and 41 seconds later.
Leicester nowhere near Champions League level - Rodgers
Strike partner Wilson shoved Soyuncu as the pair tussled to collect the ball from the net and the Foxes defender was shown a straight red card for kicking out.
From there, Bournemouth were relentless as Leicester fell apart.
Evans could do little to stop Stanislas' effort deflecting off his ankle and wrong-footing Schmeichel, before Solanke added his second after some smart footwork late on.
The Cherries remain three points behind Watford and West Ham, who face each other next, but their first win since February keeps Howe's side in the fight.

Leicester have let the likes of Manchester United and Wolves back into the chase and host Sheffield United next, when defeat would also see the Blades move within two points of them.
Man of the match - Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth)
You wait 38 games for a goal... Solanke was making his 39th Premier League appearance for Bournemouth today and his first goal for the club in the competition was vital. His second was even better, showing great skill and composure to make it 4-1.
'If you think about what's at stake you lose focus'
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was a game of two halves today. A difficult first half. We found it difficult to get any kind of foothold and everything was the reverse in the second half.
"The goals always change games and we haven't scored enough of them recently. It was probably the first time in a long time where we've had some luck."

"Dominic is a very unique player, he has attributes we really like and value and I think he's done very well mentally to make sure outside noise doesn't affect him."
'We won't stop' - Howe hopeful Cherries can stay up
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers on BBC Radio 5 live: "I didn't see that coming but we are not good enough to get too comfortable. We were in control of the game, Bournemouth changed their shape and you expect a 10-minute spell when you are up against it. But we let them into the game with a penalty and I was very disappointed with how we played from there.

Crosswords and crochet might be new hobbies for some people during the coronavirus pandemic , but they have kept Grace Greenwood mentally agile for some time .

For almost three weeks , while in her residential care home , Grace was unable to get out of bed as she had difficulty breathing .

bbcuk--2020-07-13--PM says face masks ‘should be worn’ in shops

Boris Johnson has said people in England `` should be wearing '' face masks inside shops to help prevent the spread of coronavirus .
The prime minister said the government would decide in the next few days if `` tools of enforcement '' were needed .
The comments follow cabinet minister Michael Gove telling the BBC on Sunday that face coverings should not become mandatory in shops in England .
But he said wearing them was `` basic good manners '' .
Currently , face coverings are compulsory on public transport in England , Scotland and Northern Ireland .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shops , while Wales recommends masks but they are not compulsory .
Labour and others have complained that the situation in England 's shops remains unclear .
• Who should wear a face mask or face covering ?
• How to make your own face mask Visiting ambulance staff in central London , Mr Johnson , whose government controls health policy in England but not the rest of the UK , said : `` I think people should be wearing [ face masks ] in shops .
`` And , in terms of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it mandatory or not , we 'll be looking at the guidance - we 'll be seeing a little bit more in the next few days . ''
Mr Johnson added : `` Throughout this crisis people have shown amazing sensitivity towards other people and understanding of the needs to get the virus down by doing things cooperatively .
`` Wearing masks is one of them ...
It 's a mutual thing ; people do see the value of it .
We 'll be looking in the next few days about exactly how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we think we want to make progress . ''
Face coverings are worn to help prevent wearers spreading coronavirus .
The prime minister said on Friday : `` I do think we need to be stricter in insisting people wear face coverings in confined spaces where they are meeting people they do n't normally meet . ''
But on Sunday , Cabinet Office minister Mr Gove told the BBC 's Andrew Marr Show he did not think wearing masks in shops in England should be compulsory , adding that he would `` encourage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are likely to be mixing with others and where the ventilation may not be as good as it might '' .
He added : `` I think that it is basic good manners , courtesy and consideration , to wear a face mask if you are , for example , in a shop . ''
Asked on BBC Radio 4 's Today programme on Monday whether he was in the `` mandatory perhaps '' or `` mandatory never '' camp , Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said : `` I think I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an enclosed space where you 've got lots of people , for example a busy shop , seems to be sensible . ''
Speaking on BBC One 's Breakfast Mr Buckland said Mr Gove had not been `` saying that people should not wear masks or take any mitigating actions at all .
It 's clearly the case that wearing a mask is an act of altruism .
`` It does n't actually protect you from he disease , but it prevents inadvertent transmission by the wearer to somebody else . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ visiting small shops , and it was `` very sensible '' to do so in supermarkets at busy times .
Shadow Cabinet Office minister Rachel Reeves has said Labour will support mandatory face coverings for shops , calling for `` greater clarity from government about that '' .
She added : `` People want to do the right thing but they want to know what the right thing is . ''

But on Sunday, Cabinet Office minister Mr Gove told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show he did not think wearing coverings in shops in England should be compulsory, adding that he would "encourage" the practice "where they are likely to be mixing with others and where the ventilation may not be as good as it might".


bbcuk--2020-07-13--Coronavirus: More than 100 outbreaks tackled a week, says Matt Hancock

`` Targeted action '' is being taken against more than 100 local outbreaks of coronavirus every week , Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said .
Writing in the Daily Telegraph , Mr Hancock said increased testing meant officials could now be `` targeted '' in their response .
His comments came after 73 cases of Covid-19 were confirmed at a farm in Herefordshire .
Around 200 workers there have been told to self-isolate .
It is now two weeks since Mr Hancock announced Leicester would be the first city in the UK to be put under a local lockdown .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ week .
But he stressed that most measures to contain the coronavirus will not involve a whole city but instead centre on much smaller areas , even just one business or building - and he says these interventions often go unreported by the media and unnoticed by all except those directly involved .
• What could a lockdown be like in my area ?
The government strategy of targeted local responses whenever data suggests a coronavirus flare-up is a key part of its ongoing plan to reopen British businesses in different phases .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ salons , spas , tattoo parlours and nail bars in the rest of England are welcoming back their first clients for almost four months , as national lockdown restrictions are eased .
In Scotland indoor shopping centres can reopen from Monday , while in Wales pubs , bars and restaurants can start serving customers outdoors and hairdressers can also reopen for business .
In his article , Mr Hancock said more cases were being found through testing .
`` The result is we can lift more of the lockdown and take targeted action @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week there are more than 100 local actions taken across the country - some of these will make the news but many more are swiftly and silently dealt with . ''
Mr Hancock said England 's NHS Test and Trace service was helping the government understand how the virus was spreading `` so we can hunt down coronavirus and keep it contained '' .
An outbreak is when two or more laboratory confirmed cases are linked to a particular setting , according to Public Health England .
The health secretary said there were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government was also deploying a dozen walk-in testing centres .
`` Where we find a cluster or outbreak , we send in extra testing , including mobile testing units that can be deployed anywhere in the country , '' he added .
Clusters of cases in places such as hospitals , factories or schools can also be dealt with by closing the premises .
This has already happened in several parts of the UK , including a hospital in Weston-super-Mare , North Somerset and meat factories in Cleckheaton , West Yorkshire , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counted as an outbreak during an interview on BBC Breakfast , Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said each case of would differ but : `` I think we know it when we see it . ''
It could be when many individuals caught the virus in a particular area - such as a workplace , village or town , he said .
But pressed on whether the virus spreading outside of a household or social bubble would constitute an outbreak , Mr Buckland said : `` I defer to the experts in this .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they see it , and I think with each one that we see we get more knowledgeable , more sophisticated , and are able to respond in ever more appropriate ways . ''
• SOCIAL DISTANCING : What are the rules now ?
• SYMPTOMS : What are they and how to guard against them ?
• TESTING : Who can get a test and how ?
• LOOK-UP TOOL : How many cases in your area ?
Also appearing on Breakfast , Leicester 's mayor , Sir Peter Soulsby said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local authorities had received testing data earlier .
He said after having `` finally '' been provided with `` useful data '' , they knew around 10 % of the city had recorded a higher transmission of the virus .
`` It 's very clear when you look at the data that it 's a couple of areas of the city that have got a higher than the average transmission of the virus , and certainly the way in which the city has been locked down in its entirety , and indeed beyond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' he said .
`` We should have been able to know this many , many weeks ago and we should have focused on those areas , preventing the transmission there . ''
Leicester 's rate of new Covid-19 cases has fallen from its recent peak , according to figures from NHS England - but it is not a steady decline .
For example , the rate jumped from 115.1 cases per 100,000 people for the seven days to 4 July to 127.5 for the seven days to 5 July .
It fell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 9 July .
This fluctuation could be because more testing means more cases are being picked up .
Under the government 's testing strategy , anyone with coronavirus symptoms should self-isolate and get a test .
If someone tests positive they will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace , which will then contact any close contacts , who will also be told to self-isolate .
NHS Test and Trace only operates in England .
Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland have their own contact tracing systems .

The total number of people who have died with Covid-19 in the UK is now 44,819 , a rise of 21 on the previous day - although figures tend to be lower at weekends because of reporting delays .

bbcuk--2020-07-13--Mortgage prisoners: Key workers in 'financial nightmare'

MPs are calling on the government to step in and help more than 170,000 `` mortgage prisoners '' who are trapped on high interest rates .
Thousands of frontline workers , including nurses and hospital workers , are forced to pay double the interest they would on a competitive mortgage .
Strict affordability rules prevent them from re-mortgaging to a cheaper deal .
MPs now want the government to order regulators to investigate capping the profits firms make from the borrowers .
They are asking for the Competition and Markets Authority ( CMA ) and the Financial Conduct Authority ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and introduce a cap on standard variable rates .
The Treasury said it sympathises with the situation of borrowers who can not switch mortgages if , for example , their loan is too high against the value of their home or because they are now too old to re-mortgage .
Last October , the FCA reformed the affordability rules to allow lenders to help mortgage prisoners with cheaper home loans .
But so far not a single lender has done so .
Some key workers , who are also mortgage prisoners , say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than other homeowners is worsening the considerable stress of being on the frontline during the coronavirus pandemic .
Melissa Antwhistle has been dressing in protective equipment every day for round-the-clock shifts on the frontline at Scunthorpe general hospital , including in the intensive care unit .
But financially , she feels far from supported .
Speaking between shifts , she said : `` Many mortgage prisoners are key workers like my husband and me .
Doing this job with all the stress of Covid and also looking after our children aged one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the extra stress and anxiety of this financial nightmare .
`` While the nation clapped for key workers every Thursday evening in admiration , in fact we have been risking everything not just to fulfil our vocations but also because we were forced to work round the clock just to keep a roof over our heads . ''
Her husband Kevin - also a key worker who runs and maintains a power station on the south Humber bank - took out a £120,000 mortgage with Northern Rock in 2007 at 100 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unsecured loan on top .
Northern Rock 's `` Together '' mortgage was approved at the time by regulators under the oversight of the Treasury .
But it 's a decision he has had 13 years to regret .
After it was nationalised , the Treasury put his loan along with hundreds of thousands of others into a new entity called Northern Rock Asset Management ( NRAM ) .
The Treasury then allowed NRAM to make bigger profit margins on standard variable rate mortgages , preparing the way for the sale of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could make large profits from the repayments Kevin and Melissa were making .
His loan was then sold in 2014 as part of a £13bn portfolio of loans to private investors whose mortgage interest rates were outside the regulation of the FCA .
It was the biggest privatisation in UK history , meeting the Treasury 's long-cherished goal of re-privatising the mortgage assets nationalised in the 2008 financial crisis .
However , the investors purchasing the loans were typically 'inactive ' lenders , meaning they were not willing or able to offer competitive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meant that when their initial fixed-rate interest rate deals expired , Kevin and Melissa could not re-mortgage to a cheaper deal with their existing lender .
Instead they moved on to the high standard variable rate where they paid interest rates of between 6 % and 9 % , compared to loans of less than 3 % had they been able to re-mortgage .
Melissa and Kevin have been paying £780 a month on their Northern Rock loan , compared to £420 or less if they could re-mortgage .
But because they borrowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the regulators ' affordability rules now say they ca n't re-mortgage .
The rules , in other words , say they ca n't afford to pay less .
`` Watching the widespread financial support during the current crisis has been a bitter pill to swallow .
For many years we 've been blamed for being ill-prepared and told that buying a mortgage is the risk you take , '' Kevin says .
`` Yet whilst we 're asked to risk our lives and take risks with our families ' health , making @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financially exploited without any choice .
Our job is vocational but also necessary to pay the crippling interest rates . ''
Rachel Neale of the UK Mortgage Prisoners campaign said appeals to the Treasury to help key workers and others trapped on high-interest loans have n't helped a single mortgage prisoner .
`` Families are being crippled by these high interest rates and are n't able to live properly because of it .
We need action immediately before things get even worse and drive people into further arrears or cause repossessions . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Markets Authority , the all-party parliamentary group on mortgage prisoners says even during this period of record-low official rates , mortgage prisoners are typically paying 4.4 % , two and half times the most competitive rates of 1.8 % or less .
`` Mortgage prisoners are being exploited , by both fully regulated lenders and unregulated vulture funds by being held on high standard variable rates , `` says the letter , signed by LibDem , Conservative and Labour MPs .
`` We believe that the only way mortgage prisoners will see the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ timescale will be for the CMA and the FCA to conduct a joint consultation and introduce a cap on standard variable rates . ''
A spokesman for the Treasury said : `` We know that being unable to switch your mortgage can be stressful .
`` That 's why we 've introduced rules that will make it easier for some customers to change provider , which we now expect to be in place by the end of the year .
`` The Financial Conduct Authority has also reiterated to lenders that customers on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that lenders should be actively reviewing their rates . ''

Speaking between shifts, she said: "Many mortgage prisoners are key workers like my husband and me. Doing this job with all the stress of Covid and also looking after our children aged one and three, we could do without the extra stress and anxiety of this financial nightmare.
