emma, what has michael gove been saying? there has been a series of hints from government ministers that the public sector pay cap should be eating up at some point and the latest have come from michael gove who has spoken both to the sunday times and the andrew marr show programme today. he has said we need to listen to the pay review bodies who are expected to recommend a rise. he said that when they made recommendations on school teachers pay, i think i'll was accepted them. he said, you've got to listen to the public sector pay review bodies and that my colleagues who dealt with these pay review bodies would want to respect the integrity of that process. we have also heard from jonathan ashworth this morning, labour's shut shadow secretary for health who said labour backs scrapping the pay cap and that it should rise with earnings. we are saying, get rid of the i% pay cap and give them a pay rise. give them and give them a pay rise. give them a pay rise in line with earnings. clearly they are not going to be able to over

what michael gove has said is that ministers should respect these recommendations. social workers be feeling more domestic? this does not mean that the freezes it will be scrapped all of a sudden but what we are thinking is that downing street has told us that, actually, they will look at things on a case—by—case basis. this is all part of growing pressure on the government over austerity. britain is withdrawing from an agreement which allows foreign countries to fish in its waters. the government says leaving the london fisheries convention will allow the uk to take back control of access to its fishing rights. daniela relph reports. the uk fishing industry is a multimillion pound business. but the government says britain's exit from the european union is a chance to build a new domestic fishing policy. the withdrawal from the london fisheries convention will prevent vessels from france, belgium, germany, ireland and the netherlands fishing within six and 12 nautical miles of the uk's coastline. it will not be a quick process. britain's departure from the conve

michael gove is the latest of those. both had said that the government need to listen to the public sector pay review bodies when they make recommendations, saying that he accepted that when they made recommendations on teachers paid. he said his colleagues would want to respect the integrity of that process. what might happen next? it's unlikely we will see the public sector the cap strapped across the board but it's a sign that things could start to change. we are expected to see recommendations on the pay of teachers and other police this month and expects downing street to look at this on a case—by—case basis. the mood on austerity does seem to be changing. yesterday, we saw thousands of people marching in london against austerity and they were addressed by the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. today, there are reports of a rebellion being threatened by conservative backbench mps unless money is bound to end this public sector pay cap. emma, thank you very much. kensington and chelsea council is suspending rent for t

it was interesting, i asked michael gove about friedman —— freedom of movement. he had two opportunities to say freedom of movement ends when we leave the eu in 2019, that it wasn't going to be subjected transitional period, and he didn't say that. he said migration would be determined by the needs of the economy. what was also interesting was he insisted the whole cabinet was he insisted the whole cabinet was united on this idea of an implementation phase beyond brexit, in 2019 as well. so there has been changing mood music, suddenly speaking to members of the cabinet in the past few days, they believe they have their leave colleagues on side for the transitional period, but if the tectonic plates have shifted, the fault lines are over how long that will last. liam fox says tee years, some say four years, some say it would be a disaster if it lasted longer than the next election. thank you. michael gove was making his first speech since returning to the cabinet — he also told environmental and countryside groups that brexit offered a "once—in—a—lifetime

michael gove also said the whole cabinet is in agreement that there should be a period of adjustment after brexit so that businesses have access to the migrant workers they need. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar is at westminster. does this make the government's position over brexit clearer ? well, the eu wants more clarity. business leaders say they want more clarity, but they will have to wait, partly because so many key decisions have yet to be discussed, let alone decide by ministers. ministers are broadly agreed on the importance of getting a transitional period of maybe two years, although the chancellor and a number of civil serva nts chancellor and a number of civil servants would like longer to make sure trade continues to flow as freely as now between britain and europe on to give business time to prepare for a new customs system and to make sure there is no shock to the system that might deter investment. in the end, it'll come down to those negotiations in brussels, and the eu side are sure to try to attach conditions such as a continuing role for the european cou

it is also worth listening to michael gove, the environment secretary. you saw him talking earlier about the whole business of farmers and the environment and brexit, and here he is an string a question specifically about the whole business of immigration and freedom of movement and whether that might remain a reality the other side of march 2019 in some sort of transitional period. take a look at this. i know, not just from agriculture, but from other industries, how important it is that we ensure that we continue to have access to the high—quality labour on which the success of our economy depends. and as the prime minister has made clear, as we leave the european union, we will have an implementation period which will ensure that we can continue to have notjust access to ensure that we can continue to have not just access to labour but the economic stability and certainty which business requests and, again, thatis which business requests and, again, that is something around the government and the cabinet are united. the context of this is a couple o

what michael gove is suggesting is pretty radical by any standards. shifting the emphasis of agricultural policy from food production to encouraging wildlife. none of this is going to happen quickly. the government has promised that the current system of farm payments will continue until 2022. but some environmental changes may happen more quickly. mr gove promised a new law banning microbeads. tiny plastic particles used in facial scrubs and toothpaste. that can end up polluting the oceans. he wants the new move to save stocks of fish. mr gove says the eu allows overfishing, and he believes britain acting alone could be more sustainable. and he described climate change as a threat. and criticised donald trump for pulling out of the paris agreement on global warming. ultimately, any minister isjudged by their actions. and although mr gove's pledges seem much greener than many expected, what counts is the hard detail on everything from what's grown in the field to how farmers are after brexit. david shukman, bbc news, hertfordshire. michael gove also s

when michael gove says that payments would go to those farmers who do the best to look after the land or provide other services like managing water quality or connecting habitats, would you argue that most farmers are doing that anyway. they are doing that under those rules they would continue to get some subsidy? i think hill farming is doing that, it has worked with it, historically speaking, we have engaged totally with those areas. but the bases being around food production. there have to be people there and managing that landscape and the reason they are there is because they produce food, some of the finest quality food you can find and some of the most environmentally friendly. most hill farmers are family farms, very small, very small amounts of subsidy collected compared to the ones you mentioned earlier. net farm income last year ona earlier. net farm income last year on a hill farm was somewhere under just £10,000, which is not very much. indeed. what is the figure of the subsidy you get and what are you therefore spending it on at the moment? realistically speaking, just

the new man in charge of agriculture, michael gove, has pledged to maintain current subsidy levels until at least 2022, butjohn is also very worried about trade. trade is so important to sheep farmers because nearly 40% of lambs are exported and of those nearly all 95% go to the eu. we need unfettered and free access to the european market for what we produce. we need those standards to be equivalent for any products coming in. but if those standards are not the same, john fears cheap, mass—produced beef from international competitors will drive him to the wall. i'm really scared of imports produced to completely different standards, hormones, you know, feed—lock beef, etc. we're based on pasture, green, pleasant land. you know, high environmental standards. we really are proud of that. but pride alone can't support farming. he says we need a policy which echoes the wartime push to grow what we eat. archive: it's up to you - dig for victory. forjohn, it's important we aren't too dependent on foreign imports. he thinks it's a matter of our national security. i believe that we need to

this is the david cameron project launched under michael gove. there will be a lot of cabinet annoyance over this. i am a school governor and believe me if you have a long enough memory to go back to the 19805, a conservative government and margaret thatcher in number ten. he was the secretary of state for education and education was up there at the top of the political agenda. here we are, the free 5chool5 at the top of the political agenda. here we are, the free schools are under threat from budget raid. all thei55ue5 under threat from budget raid. all the issues around education are coming up to the top of the agenda and there are some tricky i55ue5 coming up to the top of the agenda and there are some tricky issues for any government to face. staying with the times, councils bet billions on property purchases. an interesting story. british councils are betting on commercial property as they tried to replace revenue loss through government cut5. there is a quote that says council5 might as well be buying 5hare5 that says council5 might as well

michael gove is gone so you're with those of three. but this massive clamour for david davis is 20% of 1000 tory members so not exactly a huge endorsement of any of them. none of the above city be the favourite option. davis was a victim himself in 2005 when he stood against david cameron to replace michael howerd who had resigned and david davis was supposed to walk it and then you had these young mp with a fresh voice, and a fresher face... these young mp with a fresh voice, and a fresher face. .. theresa may came out because of the failings of others. i think as well it reflects the fact they do not have a great talent. they have i think a lot of good mps on the backbenches but they do not have great people coming up through the... hence the surprise choice for candidate. it might be skipping a generation. dominic may be seen as the standardbearer for the young... jessye norman should have been around much more than he has been but has not been much respect that. jeremy corbyn also features on the front of the absorber. the secret b

michael gove and andrea leadsom do not like it. lots of people might think the issue whether we eat chicken said in chlorine is not the most important debate about brexit but we have to accept if we end up rushing into a trade deal with america, they will be desperate to get into our market and the issue is whether we will have to concede that american firms can take action in courts. i think we are a long way away from the trade deal with the us because we cannot do it until we leave the eu. they are arguing about chlorine soaked chicken makes a difference from running around as headless chickens. the really good subs on these things. the daily mail front page — corbyn student debt humiliation. the daily mail to like their big slamming headline but it is an intriguing story. as a result ofan is an intriguing story. as a result of an interview with andrew marr this morning. they would be rubbing their hands in glee. the story of their hands in glee. the story of the last few months has been endless u—turns by theresa may but he

he joins the environment secretary, michael gove, who has suggested the 1% pay cap should be lifted. downing street says decisions will be made on a case—by—case basis. with me now is our assistant political editor norman smith. the pick—up was supposed to be in place until 2020. how much pressure is there now for that to change? i think it is very hard to see how the pick—up can stay unchanged for the pick—up can stay unchanged for the next two years because we have had six cabinet ministers now saying that pay review bodies should be able to determine what it should be and it is above the 1%, so be it. borisjohnson now coming out saying he thinks it can be done without adding to fiscal pressure, in other words, without tax increases, exactly the same as michael gove said at the weekend. all of this must be profoundly irking to the chancellor who sees fellow cabinet ministers canvassing for an increase in public expenditure and cautioning he does not need to bother about putting up taxes. this is added time when we have a deficit of around 50 billion, an overall debt of ar

gove suggested that that would happen. but this source says the transitional period may look like a similar arrangement to free movement. so the government has not quite made up its mind here. it knows that it can't just stop free movement with a cliff edge, but they haven't worked out how to frame the arrangement after brexit. kate, this is to try to reassure businesses which rely on seasonal workers and workers from outside britain. but at the same time, it risks annoying tory brexiteer mps, one of whom is quoted here as saying we can'tjust have the same thing, called something different. he says people voted to take control and this would not be taken control. staying with the daily telegraph, britain left reliant on allies to track russian buy crap. why can't we do it ourselves? in part because we got rid of a lot of maritime aircraft —— britain left reliant on allies to track russian spy craft. it is mainly because the russians are buzzing us quite a lot. that is the phrase for them. they are bringing over their s

this was introduced by michael gove, who was education secretary. you said that you could use and qualified teachers and that has been expanded. these figures, state funded schools, clearly it is something that has been set expanded the state funded schools. having read the article, a unqualified teacher to me would suggest somebody who is not qualified academically, but we are not talking about that. we are talking about the other important stuff like the safeguarding children, which sounds like training courses perhaps that teachers need. not sure why, it sounds bizarre that somebody who is deemed to be unqualified as a teacher should be teaching in a school. it does not sound acceptable to me. that is on the front of the guardian. the daily mail. never mind spandex! what about pink linen? 0h mail. never mind spandex! what about pink linen? oh dear, ourfashion editor's verdict on theresa may's pink holiday dress. editor's verdict on theresa may's pink holiday dressli editor's verdict on theresa may's pink holiday dress. i find it quite a striking
