- [Newsreader] Boris
Johnson dodging reporters

18

as he left this south
London flat this morning.

19
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:49,665
- [Reporter] Have you ruined your chance

20
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:51,741
of becoming prime minister, Mr. Johnson?

21
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:54,265
- Dignity still matters in public life.

22
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:57,142

and his partner, Carrie Symonds.

27
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:07,144
- [Reporter] Why were police
outside your house last night?

28
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:10,621
-For many of us, his,
his elevation will signal

29
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:13,304
Britain's abandonment of any claim

30
00:01:13,390 --> 00:01:15,108
to be a serious country.

«I have a hunch that
Johnson will come to regret

00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:43,422
securing the prize for which
he's struggled so long.

41
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:47,867
- I have just been to see
Her Majesty, the Queen,

42
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:50,590
who has invited me to form a government.

43
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:53,822

said about the moment

when he finally took
over as prime minister,

49
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:10,420
"I felt as though I was
walking with destiny,

50
00:02:10,510 --> 00:02:15,505
all my life was a preparation
for this hour and this trial.”

51
00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:20,620
As your prime minister, I command you.

52
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:23,230
- [Carrie] Aren't you tired?

53
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:26,382
- Never! Power is an aphrodisiac.

54
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:29,223
And absolute power is
absolutely aphrodisiacal.

- [Newsreader] A nation divided,
and a Tory party divided,

59
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:39,548
over the issue of Brexit.

60
00:02:39,630 --> 00:02:42,543
Today the possibility that
parliament might be prorogued,

61
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:44,940
closed down for more than a month,

62
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:48,182
the longest suspension
since the Second World War.

63

64
00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:53,026

- [John Bercow] Order.
(camera shutter snaps)

70
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:07,061
- When are you fucking MPs gonna realize,

71
00:03:07,150 --> 00:03:09,710
we are leaving on October 31st?

72
00:03:09,790 --> 00:03:14,227
- While the opposition run,
they cannot hide forever.

73
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:15,744
- Mr. Speaker, the Lords,

74
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:19,869
who are authorized to declare
prorogation of parliament.

75
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:21,224
- [MPs] No!

76
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:26,305
(opposition MPs jeering)
{camera shutters snapping)

77
00:03:26,670 --> 00:03:30,186
- The decision to advise Her
Majesty to prorogue parliament

78
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:31,340
was unlawful.

79
00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:33,148
- [Dom] We need a plan for the election.

80
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:34,265
- [Isaac] If they vote for one.

81
00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:35,670
- Oh, there'll be one,
it can't go on like this.

82
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:36,865
- What, the people versus parliament?

83
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:38,588
- Exactly, the rebels don't realize

84
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:40,581
how much people in the
real world hate them.

85
00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:42,741
- So we need a simple message.

86
00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:44,821
- "Take back control" won the referendum,

87
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:46,628
we need the equivalent for the election.

88
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:47,700
- Three words.

89
00:03:47,790 --> 00:03:49,144

90
00:03:49,230 --> 00:03:50,425
- Well, yeah.

91
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:51,625
- The prime minister.

(Conservative MPs cheer)
{opposition MPs jeer}

93
00:03:52,590 --> 00:03:53,989
- Come on, come on. Come on, then.

94
00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:58,509
Everything was done with full propriety.

95
00:03:58,590 --> 00:03:59,864
- [Newsreader] You have
to declare an interest,

96
00:03:59,950 --> 00:04:00,746
did you declare it?

97
00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:02,582
- There was no, there was
no interest to declare.

98
00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:06,823
I'm very, very proud of
everything that, uh, we did.

99
00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:08,230

100
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:10,426
about trying to talk
to that woman, alright?

101
00:04:10,510 --> 00:04:12,626

Three words.

105
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:19,229
- You can run the campaign.

106
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:21,869

Let's get Brexit done.

179
00:07:45,630 --> 00:07:47,621
- (sighs) Okay.

180
00:07:47,710 --> 00:07:49,940
Hello, it's Boris Johnson
here, taking a moment

181
00:07:50,030 --> 00:07:52,499
to wish you all a merry little Christmas.

182
00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:54,422
It's that special time of year

183
00:07:54,510 --> 00:07:56,501
when we can take that opportunity

184
00:07:56,590 --> 00:07:58,979
to celebrate all that
is good in the world,

185
00:07:59,070 --> 00:08:01,949
and to spend time with
our friends and family.

186
00:08:02,030 --> 00:08:04,101
-For God's sake.
-0i!

187
00:08:04,190 --> 00:08:05,180
- What?

188
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:06,419
- Do you want white or red, Mum?

189
00:08:06,510 --> 00:08:07,306
- Uh, red, please.

190
00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:09,779
-I hope you're all
enjoying a wonderful break

191
00:08:09,870 --> 00:08:11,190
with your loved ones,

192
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:14,149
sharing gifts and tucking
into some delicious food.

193
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:18,580
(cleaver thuds)
(shoppers speaking Mandarin)

194
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:21,344
{ominous music)

195
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:25,226
- Oh.
- There you go!

196
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:27,663
- [Charlotte] Wow.

197
00:08:28,630 --> 00:08:31,907
- We actually have some news to tell you,

198
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:32,900
don't we, Boris?

199
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:34,947
- Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we do, we, we have

200
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:37,909
we have good news, which
you can probably guess,

201
00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:40,823
we are expecting a baby.
(guests laugh)

202
00:08:40,910 --> 00:08:42,503
Well, at least, uh... but it's all,

203
00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:44,900
it's all gotta be top secret
until tell all the kids.

204
00:08:44,990 --> 00:08:47,106
So you know, you know,
mum's the word, you know.

205
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:49,386
They'd kill me if they heard
it first from the "Daily Mail."

206
00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:50,744
Here's to it. Thank you so much.

207
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:51,661
- Cheers.
- Cheers, cheers,

208
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:52,706
cheers, cheers, cheers.
- Cheers.

209
00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:54,349
- Cheers.
- To you, congratulations.

210
00:08:54,430 --> 00:08:55,226
- Cheers.
- Thank you so much.

211
00:08:55,310 --> 00:08:56,539
- That's okay.
-I was desperate to tell you.

212
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:58,143
- What did you get them for Christmas?

213
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:59,220
- Oh books, mainly.

214
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:00,505
You know, it's so difficult to get out

215
00:09:00,590 --> 00:09:01,705
and do the Christmas
shopping, so I'm afraid

216
00:09:01,790 --> 00:09:04,748
it was Waterstones Online
for everyone, I'm afraid.

217
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:07,265
- We got Stephanie a signed
copy of "Harry Potter.”

218
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:08,146
- Really?

219
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:10,062
- We didn't wanna leave her out.

220
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:12,107
- Carrie never saw her
father at Christmas,

221
00:09:12,190 --> 00:09:14,864
he was always with his other children.

222
00:09:14,950 --> 00:09:16,827
- Christmas was always
the hardest time for us

223
00:09:16,910 --> 00:09:18,821
when Stanley and I separated.

224
00:09:18,910 --> 00:09:20,662
- Well, I, I was pretty much grown up.

225
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:22,627
- It's probably the best thing

226
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:25,668
if you're going to
divorce, hoarding school.

227
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:26,546
- I don't know how

228
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:29,065
you could bear to send your
children away to school.

229
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:31,141
1 couldn't have managed without Carrie.

230
00:09:31,230 --> 00:09:32,504
- Aw.
- But, but, I mean, Lara,

231
00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:34,069
Lara loved her school.

232
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:35,026
- She went to boarding school?

233
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:35,906
- Yeah, to Bedales.

234
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:38,459
- We're not sending ours
away, just so you know.

235
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:41,224
- Uh, you're going away for the new year?

236
00:09:41,310 --> 00:09:42,300
- Yes, we're going to Mustique.

237
00:09:42,390 --> 00:09:43,425
- I'm so envious.

238
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:45,228
- You need the rest, you look tired.

239
00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:46,505
- Although, you know I do...

240
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:48,820
I'm supposed to be
trying to write that book

241
00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:49,706
while I'm there.
- Which book?

242
00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:50,586
- You know the one on Shakespeare,

243
00:09:50,670 --> 00:09:51,785
the, the one that was commissioned

244
00:09:51,870 --> 00:09:53,304
for the 400th anniversary.

245
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:54,505
- No, but that was years ago.

246
00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:56,706
- I know, I know, but
the advance was 500K,

247
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:58,747
and that is three years
of prime minister's money,

248
00:09:58,830 --> 00:10:02,061
and we need the spondulicks,
50, you know, must do.

249
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:04,221
- You always did do
everything at the last moment.

250
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:05,744
- Well, exactly, that's
why I became a journalist,

251
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:07,821
‘cause I, I, Ineed a
deadline, I need a deadline.

252
00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:08,706
I need a deadline for this cracker.

253
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:10,224
And you are the woman with the deadline.

254
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:11,106
(cracker pops)

255
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:12,988
- [Queen Elizabeth] My family
and I are also inspired

256
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:16,950
by the men and women in
our emergency services.

257
00:10:21,390 --> 00:10:24,109
(plate clatters)

258
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:27,069
- [Voicemail Service] Welcome
to the 02 messaging service.

259
00:10:27,150 --> 00:10:30,063
The person you are calling
is unable to take your call.

260
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:32,141
Please leave your message after the tone.

261
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:35,188

- Hello Lara, it's Dad here.

262
00:10:35,270 --> 00:10:39,389
Just, just calling to, uh, wish
you a very merry Christmas,

263
00:10:39,470 --> 00:10:42,349
and I hope that you are
having a lovely day.

264
00:10:42,430 --> 00:10:45,263
- Of course, at the heart
of the Christmas story

265
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:47,102
lies the birth of a child.

266
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:48,419
{tone beeps)
- Hello Milo,

267
00:10:48,510 --> 00:10:49,500
uh, it's Dad here,

268
00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:53,106
just calling to wish
you a merry Christmas.

269
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:55,340
- And overcome long held differences

270
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:57,262
and deep-seated divisions

271
00:10:57,350 --> 00:11:00,229
to bring harmony and understanding.

272
00:11:00,310 --> 00:11:02,620
(tone beeps)
- Hello, Hello Cassia,

273
00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:03,700

having a lovely day,

276

- What?

280
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:28,105
- It's what Homer always called it,

281
00:11:28,190 --> 00:11:31,069
whenever he mentions the
sea it's the wine dark sea.

282
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:33,221
It's like whenever he mentions dawn

283
00:11:33,310 --> 00:11:36,541
it's rosy fingered dawn.

284
00:11:37,950 --> 00:11:40,021
- Like you always saying,
"Get Brexit done."

285
00:11:40,110 --> 00:11:45,105
- Exactly, repetition, very
respectable rhetorical device.

286
00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:49,908
Very respectable rhetorical device.

with our friends in the ministry,

326
00:13:54,270 --> 00:13:56,147
and the Chinese Center
for Disease Control,

327
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:57,425
see if they're writing up anything

328
00:13:57,510 --> 00:13:59,581
on this new pneumonia outbreak?

329
00:13:59,670 --> 00:14:00,899
- Yeah, of course.

330
00:14:00,990 --> 00:14:02,469
- We don't want the "New England Journal"

331
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,029
getting hold of it before us.

332

00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:17,980
- Yeah, on, on, on, on
the Shakespeare, you know.

335

336

We're here to rest and recuperate.

and declare 'lt's Greek to me,'
you are quoting Shakespeare.

339
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:30,346
If you claim to be more
sinned against than sinning,

340
00:14:30,430 --> 00:14:31,340
you are quoting Shakespeare.

341
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:33,660
If you act more in sorrow than in anger,

342
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:35,309
if your wish is father to the thought,

343
00:14:35,390 --> 00:14:38,223
if your property has
vanished into thin air,

344
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:39,903
then you are quoting Shakespeare."

345

- What does he have to say about sex?

346
00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:43,140
- Loved it.
- Oh, right, good.

- Any time, any place, anywhere.

348

- Is that Shakespeare too?

349
00:14:46,950 --> 00:14:48,782
- No, no that's an old Martini advert.

350
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:51,623
-Oh.
- Bit before your time.

351
00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:53,383
- Massively.

352
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:54,824
- [Dom] There are some profound problems

353
00:14:54,910 --> 00:14:57,948
at the core of how the
British state makes decisions.

354
00:14:58,030 --> 00:15:01,864
Failure is so normal it is not
defined as failure anymore.

355
00:15:01,950 --> 00:15:04,339
We want to hire an unusual set of people,

356
00:15:04,430 --> 00:15:05,829
with different skills and backgrounds

357
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:07,264
to work in Downing Street.

358
00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:10,627
-I'm new, attached to the
policy department, Ben Warner.

359
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:12,986
- We want to hire some
very clever young people,

360
00:15:13,070 --> 00:15:15,664
with extreme curiosity and
capacity for hard work.

361
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:18,503
- First set of stairs,
then left and right,

362
00:15:18,590 --> 00:15:22,265
and you should be good, okay?
- Thank you.

363
00:15:22,350 --> 00:15:24,546
(phone ringing)

364
00:15:24,630 --> 00:15:25,426
(vomit splashes)

365
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:26,739
(Dylin barks)
(Carrie retches)

366
00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:29,629
(Dylin whines and barks)

367
00:15:29,710 --> 00:15:31,621
- Borris, can you deal dog, please?

368
00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:33,109
(Dylin barking)
Boris!

369
00:15:33,190 --> 00:15:34,988
- Yes, yes, yeah, I, are you okay?

370
00:15:35,070 --> 00:15:36,390
(Dylin barks)
- Yeah.

371
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:37,266
- Come on Dylin, come on.

372
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:38,465
Dylin, out, out, out, out, out, out, out.

373
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:39,665
This way, come on, come on.

374
00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:40,626
Bloody difficult, there's it, come on,

375
00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:42,030
there's it, come on.

376
00:15:42,110 --> 00:15:44,499
{tense music)

377
00:15:44,590 --> 00:15:46,900
- [Dom] We need some true wildcards,

378
00:15:46,990 --> 00:15:49,504
artists, people who
never went to university,

379
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:52,264
weirdos from William Gibson novels.

380
00:15:52,350 --> 00:15:55,263
Like that girl hired by
Bigend as a brand diviner,

381
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:57,910
who feels sick at the
sight of Tommy Hilfiger.

382
00:15:57,990 --> 00:16:01,620
And if you don't fit in, I'l
get rid of you within weeks.

383
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:04,668
I'm telling you this now,
$0 you can't complain later.

384
00:16:04,750 --> 00:16:06,070
(staff chattering indistinctly)

385
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:08,983
(phone ringing)

386
00:16:09,070 --> 00:16:10,981
- Hello, I'm Ben Warner.

387
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:11,866
-And?

388
00:16:11,950 --> 00:16:13,384
- I'm working here.

389
00:16:13,470 --> 00:16:15,029
- Who says?

390
00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:16,066
- I start today.

391
00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:19,146
- This is my department,
and you don't work here.

392
00:16:19,230 --> 00:16:21,380
- Dominic Cummings told me to start today.

393
00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:23,700
- Well tell Dom he'd better
find you in office, then.

394
00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:25,303
There's no space in here.

395
00:16:25,390 --> 00:16:29,384
(staff chattering indistinctly)

396
00:16:31,510 --> 00:16:32,944
- Okay, we're gonna keep this short.

397
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:35,306
Uh, the PM got back from
Mustique last night,

398
00:16:35,390 --> 00:16:37,666
So there is no media
activity planned for today.

399
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:39,900
-And his diary's being kept
empty for the same reason.

400
00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:40,786
-Dom?
- We don't want

401
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:43,669
the prime minister's diary
to be clogged up with stuff.

402
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:45,900
We don't wanna be distracted by events.

403
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:48,869
We wanna focus on long term strategy.

404
00:16:48,950 --> 00:16:50,463
(Dylin barks)

405
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:52,621
- Sorry, would you, would you
mind trying dog-wrangle him?

406
00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:54,462
Would you bind the mighty Cerberus

407
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:55,984
and take him outside for a piss?

408
00:16:56,070 --> 00:16:57,629
Oh come on Dylin, for God's sake-

409
00:16:57,710 --> 00:16:58,541
- [Aide] Happy New Year, Prime Minister.

410
00:16:58,630 --> 00:16:59,461
- Happy New Year, good to see you.

411
00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:00,346
- [Aide] Happy New Year, Prime Minister.

412
00:17:00,430 --> 00:17:02,580
- Happy New... where is that bloody dog?

413
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:04,308
Hello, hello, all. Happy
New Year, by the way.

414
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:06,108
- [Staff] Happy New Year, Prime Minister.

415
00:17:06,190 --> 00:17:07,942
- Yell if you see him, you
know what he looks like.

416
00:17:08,030 --> 00:17:10,340
Come on you... little beggar.

417
00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:12,066
- [John] Good morning, Prime Minister.

418
00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:13,060
- Nice to see you, John.
- Morning.

419
00:17:13,150 --> 00:17:14,823
- Yeah, good to see you.

420
00:17:14,910 --> 00:17:15,706
Okay.

421
00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:19,225
Well done.

422
00:17:19,310 --> 00:17:21,301
Well done. You have him
well and truly wrangled.

423
00:17:21,390 --> 00:17:22,983
You might just need that as well, okay.

424
00:17:23,070 --> 00:17:24,868
Really, it'll be fine. Thank you so much.

425
00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:28,022
(intense music)

426
00:17:28,110 --> 00:17:29,464
Hey, Lucia, how are you?

427
00:17:29,550 --> 00:17:30,620
Well rested, I hope.
- Morning, Prime Minister.

428
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:31,666
- Good on you.

429
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:32,740
- [Aide] I'd quite like to see you.

430
00:17:32,830 --> 00:17:33,706
- Okay.

431
00:17:33,790 --> 00:17:34,985
Hello, kids. How are you?

432
00:17:35,070 --> 00:17:36,469
Do you like the painting?

433
00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:37,904
I painted that.

434
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,663
I did paint that, I did.
You don't believe me do you?

435
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:42,105
But I did. Hello, Cleo, how are you?

436
00:17:42,190 --> 00:17:42,986
- Morning, Prime Minister.

437
00:17:43,070 --> 00:17:44,299
- You're looking very fresh.

438
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:45,869
- Ben, looking forward to the new term?

439
00:17:45,950 --> 00:17:47,099
- New year, new me, welcome back.

440
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:48,544
- Oh, very good, I like that. Yep.

441
00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:51,509
Hello, Martin, happy New Year.
- Happy New Year,

442
00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:52,466
Prime Minister.
- Happy new year, Dom.

443
00:17:52,550 --> 00:17:54,063
- Happy New Year, Prime Minister.

444
00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:54,946
- Good rest?

445
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:55,906
- Good thinking time.

446
00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:56,786
- Ah, good thinking time.

447
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:58,304
Any, uh, any New Year's resolutions?

448
00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:59,221
-No.

449
00:18:01,950 --> 00:18:04,669
- Hi Shirin, hi, um.

450
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:06,070
So, as anticipated,

451
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:09,586
I will not be coming in
for any meetings in person.

452
00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:14,145
Yeah, no, it's, uh, it's
pretty obvious, yes.

453
00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:16,141
- We are leaving Europe
at the end of this month,

454
00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:18,221
we need to keep the press focused on that.

455
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:19,141
- No, I agree.
- We need to have

456
00:18:19,230 --> 00:18:20,823
a few simple strategic goals.
- Yeah, of course.

457
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:23,106
- This year free trade deal with Europe.

458
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:25,147
Free trade deal with America.
- Yep, sure.

459
00:18:25,230 --> 00:18:26,823
- Plus we have 12 months to put in place

460
00:18:26,910 --> 00:18:29,550
the architecture of our new,
independent institutions.

461
00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:31,985
Those decisions will set
our course for a generation.

462
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:33,185
- Oh yeah, a lot to do, Dom.

463
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:35,466
- We need to radically
overhaul the way we govern,

464
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:38,110
and we need to start by
clearing out the dead wood.

465
00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:39,180
- From the cabinet?

466
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:42,900
- Cabinet's easy. Civil
service is hard and crucial.

467
00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:45,425
We need spads who can put a
rocket under the civil service.

468
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:47,945
- We appointed most of
the SPADs, as I recall.

469
00:18:48,030 --> 00:18:50,704
- No cabinet reshuffle til
the Brexit Bill goes through.

470
00:18:50,790 --> 00:18:53,350
- You wanna, do you wanna
draw up a few suggestions?

471
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:54,500
-It's along list.

472
00:18:54,590 --> 00:18:56,900
(traffic roars)
(keyboard clatters)

473
00:18:56,990 --> 00:18:59,459
(phone rings)

474
00:19:01,230 --> 00:19:03,619
- Morning. Right, shall we?

475
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:08,223
Let's do it? What have
we, uh, what have we got?

476
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:09,823
- So far the winter's been mild,

477
00:19:09,910 --> 00:19:12,424
$0 we've managed to
avoid any major crises.

478
00:19:12,510 --> 00:19:15,309
- Which was lucky for
the election campaign.

479
00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:16,710
- [Chris] There is the WHO report

480
00:19:16,790 --> 00:19:19,589
of a new coronavirus outbreak in China.

481
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:21,024
- [Matt] Why is it always China?

482
00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:22,384
- We're keeping an eye it.

483
00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:23,619
Right,

484
00:19:23,710 --> 00:19:26,224
(car horns blare)
{tense music)

485
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:30,463
(medical staff speaking Mandarin)

486
00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:35,101
{tense music continues)

487
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:42,025
(medical staff continue speaking Mandarin)

488
00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:47,940
- Sorry, coming through. Sorry, thank you.

489
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:53,265
(spads chatter indistinctly)

490
00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:05,064
(Dominic sighs)

491
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:10,863
- What a week.

492
00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:12,463
Some of you will have seen my blog

493
00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:15,269
advertising for your replacements.

494
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:17,580
In fact, all of you had
better have read my blog.

495
00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:18,865
Did anyone not read it?

496
00:20:20,430 --> 00:20:23,661
We've already got two new
recruits, stand up, Ben.

497
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,300
Ben is a data genius, he's the
reason we won the referendum,

498
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:28,949
and the reason we won the election,

499
00:20:29,030 --> 00:20:32,227
you have to understand the data.

500
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:33,141
That's what all these idiots

501
00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:34,629
writing about politics don't get,

502
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:35,984
they think that standing in Westminster

503
00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:38,425
talking to some politician is reporting.

504
00:20:38,510 --> 00:20:40,899
That's why they get everything wrong.

505
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:42,185
Stand up, Andrew.

506
00:20:42,270 --> 00:20:44,784
This is Andrew Sabisky,
he's a superforecaster.

507
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:46,861
He is a thinker, the
kind of thinker we need

508
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:49,100
to shake this place up a bit.

509
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:52,262
ARPA, Advanced Research Projects Agency,

510
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:54,227
what can we learn from their experience?

511
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:57,268
Failure doesn't matter.

512
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:58,784
Joseph Licklider was a visionary.

513
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:01,510
He gave great people
resources and freedom.

514
00:21:01,590 --> 00:21:05,106
That's what I'm gonna do with
people like Ben and Andrew.

515
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:07,704
Science, data, and evidence-based policy

516
00:21:07,790 --> 00:21:09,667
are gonna be at the heart
of everything we do.

517
00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:12,788
And remember all you spads
are now my responsibility.

518
00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:14,508
1 hire you, I fire you.

519
00:21:14,590 --> 00:21:16,786
1 don't want any of you to
go freelancing around town

520
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:18,269
trying to make your minister look good.

521
00:21:18,350 --> 00:21:19,988
From now on everything they say

522
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:22,346
has gotta be approved by Number 10.

523
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,861
- [Newsreader] In Wuhan, a man has died

524
00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:27,623
having caught the new virus,

525
00:21:27,710 --> 00:21:30,099
which officials say comes
from the same family

526
00:21:30,190 --> 00:21:32,545
as the deadly SARS virus.

527
00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:37,500
(medical staff speaking Mandarin)

528
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:38,739
- [George] Richard, hey.

529
00:21:38,830 --> 00:21:40,389
- [Richard] George, good to see you.

530
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:41,824
limagine you've got a lot on there.

531
00:21:41,910 --> 00:21:43,389
- We're busy, yes.

532
00:21:43,470 --> 00:21:47,179
1 think the genome of the new
virus will be shared tomorrow.

533
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:49,386
- Oh, that's fast.
- On Virological,

534
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:51,347
we're trying to stay
ahead of it this time.

535
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:55,025
Ithink everyone have learned
lessons from the last SARS.

536
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:57,750
- And do you maybe have
anything to publish?

537
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:59,662
- Could do, could do soon.

538
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:02,424
Also the "New England
Journal" are chasing us.

539
00:22:02,510 --> 00:22:05,104
{tense music)

540
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:09,741
- Good night, Mummy.
- Good night, Mummy.

541
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:11,787
- Night night, I'll be up in a minute.

542
00:22:12,750 --> 00:22:16,141
{tense music continues)

543
00:22:18,110 --> 00:22:19,225
- [Newsreader] Thailand has reported

544
00:22:19,310 --> 00:22:21,620
the first case of the Wuhan coronavirus

545
00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:23,986
found outside of China.

546
00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:27,426
The patient arrived at
Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport

547
00:22:27,510 --> 00:22:30,229
from Wuhan last week with a high fever.

548
00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:32,381
- What do we, uh, what do we know?

549
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:33,619
- Not a huge amount.

550
00:22:33,710 --> 00:22:36,668
The WHO seem to be taking
it pretty seriously.

551
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,980
But the, the problem is the Chinese,

552
00:22:39,070 --> 00:22:43,541
you know, how can we tell
exactly what is happening?

553
00:22:43,630 --> 00:22:46,861
(email alert chimes)

554
00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:49,510
{tense music)

555
00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:56,140
- Tim.

556
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:57,982
- [Newsreader] In other
news in the region,

557
00:22:58,070 --> 00:23:01,347
Japan has confirmed its first
case of the Wuhan virus.

558
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:05,941
- Okay, uh, let's collect
the basic numbers,

559
00:23:06,030 --> 00:23:09,341
Wuhan population, and
general Hubei population,

560
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:13,264
reported cases, number of
people leaving Wuhan by plane,

561
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:16,229
and number of cases reported overseas.

562
00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:17,345
- [Newsreader] International airports,

563
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:18,545
like this one in Tokyo,

564
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:20,667
are already taking preemptive measures

565
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:22,024
to prevent the virus spreading.

566
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:25,068
- See, now, that looks
impressive, but will it work?

567
00:23:25,150 --> 00:23:26,549
- Unlikely.
- Those suits look good tough,

568
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:27,426
don't they?

569
00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:28,909
They're, they're very "E.T."

570
00:23:30,990 --> 00:23:33,630
- [Newsreader] The first
case of the SARS coronavirus

571
00:23:33,710 --> 00:23:36,509
has been reported in South Korea.

572
00:23:36,590 --> 00:23:39,503
{tense music)

573
00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:41,467
- Morning, Professor.
- Morning.

574
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:42,984
- The Chinese have done
the work on the genome,

575
00:23:43,070 --> 00:23:44,583
1 think we should start on a vaccine.

576
00:23:44,670 --> 00:23:45,944
- Don't you think we should wait,

577
00:23:46,030 --> 00:23:47,350
to see how the virus is gonna spread?

578
00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:48,226
- We've been wanting to try

579
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:49,744
a rapid vaccine development program,

580
00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:51,059
so this would be a good trial,

581
00:23:51,150 --> 00:23:52,868
even if the virus doesn't spread,

582
00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:54,668
we can take the work we've
done on the MERS vaccine,

583
00:23:54,750 --> 00:23:58,186
and apply it to SARS CoV2,
they are very similar viruses.

584
00:23:58,270 --> 00:23:59,499
- Okay.

585
00:23:59,590 --> 00:24:00,864
(siren blares)

586
00:24:00,950 --> 00:24:03,385
- [Newsreader] The WHO has
reported that it is possible

587
00:24:03,470 --> 00:24:05,461
there is human to human transmission

588
00:24:05,550 --> 00:24:07,826
of the SARS coronavirus.

589
00:24:07,910 --> 00:24:12,905
(siren blares)
(tense music)

590
00:24:16,670 --> 00:24:19,264
(engine roars)

591
00:24:23,150 --> 00:24:25,266
- The data coming out of
China is pretty incomplete.

592
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:26,181
- As always.

593
00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:27,066
- But we've been working

594
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:29,221
with the Chinese
government and researchers,

595
00:24:29,310 --> 00:24:31,108
distributing an electronic
case record form,

596
00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:31,986
to get the building blocks

597
00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:33,344
for detailed mapping and modeling.

598
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:35,626
- Even with the incomplete
data, we're pretty certain

599
00:24:35,710 --> 00:24:38,179
that person to person
transmission is happening,

600
00:24:38,270 --> 00:24:40,261
and that the reproductive
rate is above one.

601
00:24:40,350 --> 00:24:42,102
- At the moment, it looks
like the incubation period

602
00:24:42,190 --> 00:24:43,749
is between five to 10 days,

603
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:45,741
which means that the
safe time after contact,

604
00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:48,140
14 days would be a sensible outer limit.

605
00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:53,462
- [Newsreader] A whole
city has been closed down.

606
00:24:53,550 --> 00:24:56,861
This is Wuhan, in the
Hubei province of China.

607
00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:59,590
Public transport, the
airport, and train stations

608
00:24:59,670 --> 00:25:01,741
are closed until further notice.

609
00:25:03,030 --> 00:25:06,944
(resident singing in Mandarin)

610
00:25:09,710 --> 00:25:10,859
- [Newsreader] The shutdown has come

611
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:12,702
just before the Chinese New Year,

612
00:25:12,790 --> 00:25:15,669
when millions of people
travel back to their homes.

613
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:17,229
The authorities in Beijing

614
00:25:17,310 --> 00:25:20,189
are now canceling plans
for the celebrations.

615
00:25:20,270 --> 00:25:23,945
- So Helena, we're publishing
the first four papers today,

616
00:25:24,030 --> 00:25:26,146
including the one on
human-to-human transmission.

617
00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:28,460
That's the big one.
- Great,

618
00:25:28,550 --> 00:25:31,508
- Say thank you to George.
They've been so fast.

619
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:35,784
(phone ringing)

620
00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:39,303
- Jamie, it's happening, let's go.

621
00:25:39,390 --> 00:25:40,460
- Where we going?

622
00:25:40,550 --> 00:25:43,144
- Cabinet Office Briefing Room A.

623
00:25:43,230 --> 00:25:45,062
- Oh-hoo-hoo.

624
00:25:45,150 --> 00:25:47,664
- There are five basic scenarios.

625
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:49,229
China could contain it

626
00:25:49,310 --> 00:25:52,029
and it never achieves community
transmission outside China.

627
00:25:52,110 --> 00:25:53,430
- That's our preferred option.

628
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,262
- Or it spreads outside of China,

629
00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:58,468
and it stays as deadly
and as transmissible.

630
00:25:58,550 --> 00:26:00,826
Or it becomes less
transmissible and less deadly,

631
00:26:00,910 --> 00:26:03,060
just because of the way
these viruses mutate.

632
00:26:03,150 --> 00:26:05,585
Or it could become more
transmissible and less deadly.

633
00:26:05,670 --> 00:26:07,069
The nightmare scenario

634
00:26:07,150 --> 00:26:10,541
is that it becomes more
transmissible and more deadly.

635
00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:13,702
It's unlikely, viruses live to breed.

636
00:26:13,790 --> 00:26:14,700
They live to survive.

637
00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:17,304
It's not actually in a virus's
interest to be overly deadly,

638
00:26:17,390 --> 00:26:19,540
because they then kill their
host before they can spread.

639
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:20,745
- Right, so, so what can we do

640
00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:22,229
to contain the virus in China?

641
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:25,746
- We have the PHE incident response teams.

642
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:27,229
We could send a team to China.

643
00:26:27,310 --> 00:26:29,347
- I, I think that's
gonna be very difficult.

644
00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:31,865
The Chinese like to sort
these things out themselves.

645
00:26:31,950 --> 00:26:35,864
(children singing in Mandarin)

646
00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:43,508
(drums beat)
(cymbals clash)

647
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:47,185
(camera shutters snapping)

648
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:52,782
- Wow, wow, yes. That
was excellent, excellent.

649
00:26:52,870 --> 00:26:53,701
(crowd applauding)

650
00:26:53,790 --> 00:26:55,019
- [Reporter] Mr. Hancock,
what's the government doing

651
00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:56,339
about this view coronavirus?

652
00:26:56,430 --> 00:26:58,546
- Well, uh, I chaired the
meeting of COBRA today

653
00:26:58,630 --> 00:27:00,143
to discuss coronavirus,

654
00:27:00,230 --> 00:27:04,463
and we agreed that the risk
to the UK public remains low.

655
00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:05,381
- [Reporter] Mr. Hancock, what
measures did the government-

656
00:27:05,470 --> 00:27:07,461
- [Reporter] Any more data
from Wuhan? Mr. Hancock?

657
00:27:07,550 --> 00:27:08,346
- Hi, lan, how you doing?

658
00:27:08,430 --> 00:27:09,465
- Very well, thank you, Prime Minister.

659
00:27:09,550 --> 00:27:11,109
- Imran, good to see you.

660
00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:13,022
Hey, Dom, how are you?

661
00:27:14,030 --> 00:27:16,624
(mellow music)

662
00:27:17,630 --> 00:27:18,620
- [Lawyer] Marina will
get most of the money

663
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:19,586
from the house in Islington.

664
00:27:19,670 --> 00:27:21,308
- And, and what do I get?

665
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:22,983
- [Lawyer] The place in Thame.

666
00:27:23,070 --> 00:27:24,265
(Boris sighs)

667
00:27:24,350 --> 00:27:25,146
You don't like it?

668
00:27:25,230 --> 00:27:26,629
-No, I do like the house in Thame,

669
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:27,939
it's just it's, you know, it's
not exactly worth that much.

670
00:27:28,030 --> 00:27:31,466
- [Lawyer] Well, you get money
as well, it adds up to 50-50.

671
00:27:31,550 --> 00:27:33,109
- [Newsreader] It's getting closer.

672
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:35,989
Today, France reported its first case

673
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:39,188
of the new SARS-like coronavirus.

674
00:27:39,270 --> 00:27:40,669
- The latest numbers from the Chinese

675
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:42,787
now suggests an R number up to three,

676
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:44,588
which is pretty much in
line with our estimate

677
00:27:44,670 --> 00:27:47,264
of somewhere between 2.6 and 3.5.

678
00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:48,545
The data is pretty thin.

679
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:50,029
- That seems very high.

680
00:27:50,110 --> 00:27:50,906
- What that means is,

681
00:27:50,990 --> 00:27:53,789
we would need to cut these
reproduction numbers by 60%

682
00:27:53,870 --> 00:27:54,666
to be able to deal with it.

683
00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:56,707
- Ifthe Chinese numbers
are accurate, Neil.

684
00:27:56,790 --> 00:27:58,747
-A 60% cut is drastic.

685
00:27:58,830 --> 00:28:01,788
- You'd have to shut up shop, basically.

686
00:28:01,870 --> 00:28:03,383
- Like the lockdown in Wuhan?

687
00:28:03,470 --> 00:28:04,301
- Exactly.

688
00:28:05,390 --> 00:28:06,619
- [Newsreader] Beijing has
confirmed the number of people

689
00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:10,590
who have died from a new type
of respiratory virus in China

690
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:14,664
has now passed 40.
(machines beeping)

691
00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:19,979
- We've now got the test
developed in Oxford up and running

692
00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:21,060
in our lab in Colindale.

693
00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:24,427
- Incredible, I mean, we
hadn't even heard of this virus

694
00:28:24,510 --> 00:28:25,830
three weeks ago.

695
00:28:25,910 --> 00:28:28,663
Now, we've set up an
incident management team,

696
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:30,263
reporting to Yvonne.

697
00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:33,825
- Are you sure you want
to use the word pandemic?

698
00:28:33,910 --> 00:28:36,186
Because it is going to be
big news if you say this.

699
00:28:36,270 --> 00:28:38,500
- When you look at the
international air traffic

700
00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:40,900
out of the city, the number of infections,

701
00:28:40,990 --> 00:28:43,869
there is definitely
going to be a pandemic.

702
00:28:43,950 --> 00:28:46,863
- [Tour Guide] As recently,
1987, the minster was on fire.

703
00:28:46,950 --> 00:28:48,861
It was struck by a bolt of lightning,

704
00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:50,179
(tourist coughing)
the south transept

705
00:28:50,270 --> 00:28:51,863
consumed by flames.
{tourist coughing)

706
00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:53,702
There were hundreds of firefighters here,

707
00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:54,985
working tirelessly.

708
00:28:55,070 --> 00:28:57,664
- [Newsreader] In Geneva today,
the world was put on alert.

709
00:28:57,750 --> 00:29:00,060
This virus should be taken seriously.

710
00:29:00,150 --> 00:29:02,539
- I'm declaring a public health emergency

711
00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:04,268
of international concern.

712
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:08,309
(plane engine roaring)

00:29:08,390 --> 00:29:10,506

{tense music continues)

718
00:29:35,670 --> 00:29:37,581
- [Caller] Hi Jamie, sorry
to call you so early.

719
00:29:37,670 --> 00:29:39,422
- [Jamie] It's here, isn't it?

720
00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:42,104
- [Newsreader] Coronavirus
is confirmed in the UK.

721
00:29:42,190 --> 00:29:45,308
The patients, both Chinese
members of the same family,

722
00:29:45,390 --> 00:29:47,063
fell ill whilst in York.

723
00:29:49,670 --> 00:29:50,899
- How long is the incubation period?

724
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:52,981
- According to Wuhan figures,

725
00:29:53,070 --> 00:29:55,664
between two and 11 days.
- Yeah.

726
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:57,468
- And what about fatality rate?

727
00:29:57,550 --> 00:30:00,781
It's hard to say. Somewhere
between 0.5 and 3%.

728
00:30:00,870 --> 00:30:02,827
- That's a big range.

729
00:30:02,910 --> 00:30:05,060
- Did everyone see the "Lancet" article?

730
00:30:05,150 --> 00:30:06,902
- Yes, last night.
- Yeah.

731
00:30:06,990 --> 00:30:09,266
- Yes, Gabriel's paper
has been peer reviewed.

732
00:30:10,910 --> 00:30:11,820
We think it's very important

733
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:13,628
to get this information out there.

734
00:30:13,710 --> 00:30:15,462
- [Newsreader] Two
Chinese tourists in Rome

735
00:30:15,550 --> 00:30:18,781
are the first confirmed cases
of coronavirus in Italy.

736
00:30:18,870 --> 00:30:21,066
Italy has banned all flights from China.

737
00:30:21,150 --> 00:30:24,905
- This tweet, from last
Saturday, piqued our interest.

738
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:27,220
- [Tweeter] Holy mother of God,

739
00:30:27,310 --> 00:30:30,905
the new coronavirus is a 3.8.

740
00:30:30,990 --> 00:30:33,584
How bad is that reproductive RO value?

741
00:30:33,670 --> 00:30:37,026
It is thermonuclear pandemic level bad.

742
00:30:37,110 --> 00:30:38,942
I'm not exaggerating.

743
00:30:39,030 --> 00:30:41,340
- Are you sure you're
not? No even a little?

744
00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:42,784
- [Journalist] So, have
you got anything for us?

745
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:44,702
- Yes, I have, coronavirus.

746
00:30:44,790 --> 00:30:48,181
We've got a plane load of people
flying in from Wuhan today.

747
00:30:48,270 --> 00:30:49,624
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

748
00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:51,621
- Shoot it down, then that'd be a story.

749
00:30:51,710 --> 00:30:52,506
(all laughing)

750
00:30:52,590 --> 00:30:53,386
- [Boris] Is everybody ready?

751
00:30:53,470 --> 00:30:54,346
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

752
00:30:54,430 --> 00:30:58,105
- Right. Tonight we are
leaving the European Union.

753
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:02,343
For many people this is an
astonishing moment of hope,

754
00:31:02,430 --> 00:31:04,501
a moment they thought would never come.

755
00:31:04,590 --> 00:31:06,342
This is the moment when the dawn breaks,

756
00:31:06,430 --> 00:31:09,946
and the curtain goes up on a new act

757
00:31:10,030 --> 00:31:12,067
in our great national drama.

758
00:31:12,150 --> 00:31:15,063
- It's seven o'clock, this
is "Sky News Tonight."

759
00:31:15,150 --> 00:31:18,541
Our top story, 83 Britons
landed back in the UK

760
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:21,588
having been flown out of
Wuhan on a special flight

761
00:31:21,670 --> 00:31:22,740
chartered by the UK government.

762
00:31:22,830 --> 00:31:23,786
For the next fortnight

763
00:31:23,870 --> 00:31:26,384
they'll stay at an NHS
facility in Birkenhead,

764
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:28,108
where they'll remain in quarantine.

765
00:31:28,190 --> 00:31:31,342
(crowd chattering)

766
00:31:31,430 --> 00:31:32,226
- We've done many things,

767
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:33,664
but we can't turn the clock back, can we?

768
00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:35,229
-No.

769
00:31:35,310 --> 00:31:37,745
- Was it you that blabbed to
the press about quarantine?

770
00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:38,661
- Yes.

771
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:39,546
- Who the do you think you are?

772
00:31:39,630 --> 00:31:40,825
Today's Brexit Day.

773
00:31:40,910 --> 00:31:43,345
We don't want "News at 10"
splashing a bunch of nobodies

774
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:44,579
being driven to the fucking Wirral.

775
00:31:44,670 --> 00:31:46,149
- We thought it was important

776
00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:48,062
for the public to know
we're taking it seriously.

777
00:31:48,150 --> 00:31:50,141
- Bullshit, I don't a fuck what you think.

778
00:31:50,230 --> 00:31:51,584
- [Crowd] Two, one.

779
00:31:51,670 --> 00:31:56,665
(crowd cheers)
("Land of Hope and Glory")

780
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:04,823
- This royal throne of
kings, this sceptered Isle.

781
00:32:06,430 --> 00:32:10,503
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars.

782
00:32:10,590 --> 00:32:14,060
This other Eden, demi-paradise.

783
00:32:14,150 --> 00:32:17,905
This fortress built by nature for herself

784
00:32:17,990 --> 00:32:21,062
against infection and the hand of war.

785
00:32:21,150 --> 00:32:24,586
This happy breed of men and women.

786
00:32:24,670 --> 00:32:26,707
This little world.

787
00:32:26,790 --> 00:32:31,182
This precious stone set in the silver sea,

788
00:32:31,270 --> 00:32:33,944
which serves it in the office of a wall,

789
00:32:34,030 --> 00:32:36,544
or as a moat defensive to a house

790
00:32:37,470 --> 00:32:40,189
against the envy of less happier lands.

791
00:32:40,270 --> 00:32:45,265
This blessed plot, this earth,
this realm, this England.

792
00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:46,829
(crowd cheering)

793
00:32:46,910 --> 00:32:51,302
("Land of Hope and Glory" continues)

794
00:32:53,870 --> 00:32:56,430
(crowd continues cheering)

795
00:32:56,510 --> 00:32:59,946
- [Spads] Dom, Dom, Dom,
Dom, Dom, Dom, Dom, Dom,

796
00:33:00,030 --> 00:33:01,623
Dom, Dom, Dom, Dom.

797
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:08,664
- Speech, speech.
- Go on, Dom.

798
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:15,060
- We, uh, we took back control tonight.

799
00:33:15,150 --> 00:33:16,470
- Yes.
- I want you to know

800
00:33:16,550 --> 00:33:18,905
that this is a fantastic
moment for our country.

801
00:33:18,990 --> 00:33:21,379
There are very few moments in our lives

802
00:33:21,470 --> 00:33:23,905
which can be genuinely referred to

803
00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:28,109
as an historic turning
point, but this is one.

804
00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:31,785
Uh, thank you.
- Well done Dom!

805
00:33:31,870 --> 00:33:34,623
(crowd cheering)

806
00:33:36,910 --> 00:33:40,790
(announcer speaking Mandarin)

807
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:43,464
- [Newsreader] The Chinese
whistleblower, Li Wenliang,

808
00:33:43,550 --> 00:33:47,225
is still in hospital and has
been put onto a ventilator.

809
00:33:47,310 --> 00:33:48,539
- [Newsreader] The UK is shipping

810
00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:51,270
thousands of items of PPE to China,

811
00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:54,422
to help them fight the
coronavirus outbreak.

812
00:33:54,510 --> 00:33:56,786
- [Newsreader] Huoshenshan
Hospital in Wuhan has opened

813
00:33:56,870 --> 00:33:59,589
after being built in just 10 days.

814
00:34:02,550 --> 00:34:04,461
- We now estimate the incubation period

815
00:34:04,550 --> 00:34:06,268
to be between two to 14 days,

816
00:34:06,350 --> 00:34:08,182
a generation time, which is the time

817
00:34:08,270 --> 00:34:09,908
between the infection of a primary case

818
00:34:09,990 --> 00:34:11,389
and one of its secondary cases,

819
00:34:11,470 --> 00:34:13,825
is estimated at six to seven days.

820
00:34:13,910 --> 00:34:16,709
It's a reasonable hypothesis
that the epidemic in China

821
00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:18,781
is still growing exponentially,

822
00:34:18,870 --> 00:34:20,747
doubling every four to five days.

823
00:34:20,830 --> 00:34:21,740
We should expect there to be

824
00:34:21,830 --> 00:34:24,299
sustained community
transmission outside China.

825
00:34:24,390 --> 00:34:27,143
- Did you do the sums on
blocking flights from China?

826
00:34:27,230 --> 00:34:28,664
- SPI-M found that if we were to reduce

827
00:34:28,750 --> 00:34:31,105
the number of imported infections by 50%,

828
00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:34,979
we would maybe delay the
onset of an epidemic in the UK

829
00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:36,185
by about five days.

830
00:34:36,270 --> 00:34:38,500
- [Newsreader] Hong Kong's
first coronavirus death

831
00:34:38,590 --> 00:34:40,342
was a 39-year-old man

832
00:34:40,430 --> 00:34:42,899
who went to hospital the day he returned

833
00:34:42,990 --> 00:34:44,583
from the Wuhan epicenter.

834
00:34:44,670 --> 00:34:48,061
But in that short time, it
seems he infected his mother.

835
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:52,264
- We would recommend
that symptomatic patients

836
00:34:52,350 --> 00:34:54,307
are encouraged to wear
a surgical face mask,

837
00:34:54,390 --> 00:34:56,188
provided that can be tolerated.

838
00:34:56,270 --> 00:34:58,307
- [Newsreader] Li Wenliang has died.

839
00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:59,460
For most of his life,

840
00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:02,303
Li Wenliang was a
successful, but anonymous

841
00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:04,347
ophthalmologist, father, and husband

842
00:35:04,430 --> 00:35:06,899
based in the central
Chinese city of Wuhan.

843
00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:08,628
But over the past two months,

844
00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:11,702
the 34-year-old has become
a household name in China,

845
00:35:11,790 --> 00:35:13,940
known to hundreds of millions of people

846
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:15,509
as the face and conscience

847
00:35:15,590 --> 00:35:17,706
of its spiraling coronavirus crisis.

848
00:35:17,790 --> 00:35:19,224
News of his death has been met

849
00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:21,699
with an extraordinary
nationwide outpouring

850
00:35:21,790 --> 00:35:24,145
of grief and anger on social media.

851
00:35:25,070 --> 00:35:27,539
(somber music)

852
00:35:27,630 --> 00:35:29,143
- Right, this is what we know so far.

853
00:35:29,230 --> 00:35:32,666
From the 18th to the 23rd of January,

854
00:35:32,750 --> 00:35:35,583
Steve Walsh attended a
conference in Singapore.

855
00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:38,423
Also attending was a man from Wuhan,

856
00:35:38,510 --> 00:35:41,582
who has since been
diagnosed with coronavirus.

857
00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:46,028
Now, on the 24th Steve
flew back to London,

858
00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:47,464
then directly to Geneva.

859
00:35:47,550 --> 00:35:50,110
He stayed for one night in
Saint-Gervais-les-Bains,

860
00:35:50,190 --> 00:35:51,066
and then to a chalet

861
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:53,790
in the ski resort of Contamines-Montjoie.

862
00:35:55,350 --> 00:35:59,628
(snow crunching)
(Steve coughing)

863
00:35:59,710 --> 00:36:03,749
He was with a group of 10 friends
in his part of the chalet,

864
00:36:03,830 --> 00:36:05,741
and then there was a
family with three children

865
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:07,946
in that same chalet.

866
00:36:08,030 --> 00:36:11,022
On the night of the 24th of January

867
00:36:11,110 --> 00:36:12,987
he developed moderate symptoms,

868
00:36:13,070 --> 00:36:17,064
and was symptomatic during the
rest of his stay in France.

869
00:36:17,150 --> 00:36:19,380
He continued to stay in France and ski.

870
00:36:19,470 --> 00:36:24,180
And he flew back from Geneva
on the 28th of January.

871
00:36:24,270 --> 00:36:26,466
- Chris, what do we know about
the others in the chalet?

872
00:36:26,550 --> 00:36:28,268
- [Chris Wormald] Well, we
have four British tourists

873
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:31,627
in isolation in French hospitals,
along with two children.

874
00:36:31,710 --> 00:36:34,224
They're all reported to
have respiratory problems.

875
00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:36,426
They're all being tested for coronavirus.

876
00:36:36,510 --> 00:36:39,070
More than 100 contacts
have been identified,

877
00:36:39,150 --> 00:36:42,029
and the children's schools
have now been closed.

878
00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:46,184
- [Matt] Britain is
leading the way in testing.

879
00:36:46,270 --> 00:36:48,386
Testing around the world is being done

880
00:36:48,470 --> 00:36:51,940
on equipment designed
here, in this country.

881
00:36:52,030 --> 00:36:53,464
- [Peter] We have two or three labs here,

882
00:36:53,550 --> 00:36:54,699
there are hundreds round the country

883
00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:55,985
that could be getting ready to run tests.

884
00:36:56,070 --> 00:36:58,869
-I don't know, all I can
say is that current policy

885
00:36:58,950 --> 00:37:01,419
is that all testing has to be
done through our laboratories.

886
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:03,660
- This is going to be an epidemic,

887
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,946
having only one lab is crazy.

888
00:37:06,030 --> 00:37:06,906
- What is SAGE doing?

889
00:37:06,990 --> 00:37:09,345
What is our Chief Medical Officer doing?

890
00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:11,819
What is our Chief Science Advisor doing?

891
00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:13,821
Have they read the papers we published?

892
00:37:13,910 --> 00:37:16,220
Have they listened to
what Tedros is saying?

893
00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:19,063
This is a public health emergency
of international concern,

894
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:20,185
what are we doing?

895
00:37:20,270 --> 00:37:22,386
What is the government doing?

896
00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:23,949
- Where, where are we at on testing?

897
00:37:24,030 --> 00:37:25,748
- We are up and running at Colindale.

898
00:37:25,830 --> 00:37:26,865
Right?

899
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:29,829
- It's the fastest deployment
of a novel test in UK history.

900
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:31,662
- Good. What about other labs?

901
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:33,149
- One issue is that the virus

902
00:37:33,230 --> 00:37:35,699
is categorized as an HG3 pathogen,

903
00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:37,747
so only containment level three labs

904
00:37:37,830 --> 00:37:39,059
can handle the material.

905
00:37:39,150 --> 00:37:41,300
Any lab has to be able to get the samples,

906
00:37:41,390 --> 00:37:42,789
transport them safely, get the results,

907
00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:44,622
feed the results back to PHE and the NHS.

908
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:46,508
- Well, we could use NHS labs.

909
00:37:46,590 --> 00:37:47,466
Could, could we do that?

910
00:37:47,550 --> 00:37:50,588
- We are extending to 12
new labs across the country.

911
00:37:50,670 --> 00:37:51,785
  Mm-hmm,
- Which will eventually

912
00:37:51,870 --> 00:37:54,066
raise our capacity to 1,000 tests a day.

913
00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:55,868
- Right, that's what we need, is it?

914
00:37:55,950 --> 00:37:57,304
That's great.
- It's fantastic.

915
00:37:57,390 --> 00:37:58,869
- [Newsreader] In Korea, test kits

916
00:37:58,950 --> 00:38:00,782
capable of results in six hours

917

918
00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:04,139
throughout the country.

919
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:09,143
(spads chattering)

920
00:38:12,270 --> 00:38:13,829
- Next week is Valentine's Day.

921
00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:17,266
You all know what that's famous
for, don't you? A massacre.

922
00:38:17,350 --> 00:38:19,944
So half of you can expect
to be looking for a job.

923
00:38:20,910 --> 00:38:23,299
I hope you all know which half you are in.

924
00:38:24,830 --> 00:38:26,059
For all those spads who are staying,

925
00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:28,380
it is worth reflecting
on the deep principles

926
00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:32,384
that actually determine why
things work and do not work.

927
00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:34,859
Most ministers tend to think
of management, like science,

928
00:38:34,950 --> 00:38:37,783
as a rather lowly skill,
beneath their Olympian status.

929
00:38:37,870 --> 00:38:40,066
I assume you've read my
paper on the Apollo program,

930
00:38:40,150 --> 00:38:41,584
and the lessons we can take from that

931
00:38:41,670 --> 00:38:43,468
and apply to government.

932
00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:46,941
We will only improve the
performance of government

933
00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:50,705
if we reflect on what expertise really is,

934
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:53,259
and why do some very successful fields

935
00:38:53,350 --> 00:38:55,148
cultivate it effectively,

936
00:38:55,230 --> 00:38:57,665
while others, like government, do not.

937
00:38:57,750 --> 00:39:01,948
We need to select much
higher quality people.

938
00:39:02,030 --> 00:39:04,590
It's insane that people as
ignorant and limited as me

939
00:39:04,670 --> 00:39:07,025
can have the influence we
do in the way that we do.

940
00:39:07,110 --> 00:39:09,420
Why are you not writing this down?

941
00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:12,468
- Fucking Apollo program,
what are load of crap.

942
00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:15,019
- It's like some medieval
court, and he's Thomas Cromwell.

943
00:39:15,110 --> 00:39:16,828
- That'd make Boris Henry VIII.

944
00:39:16,910 --> 00:39:17,706
He'd actually make
quite a good Henry VIII.

945
00:39:17,790 --> 00:39:19,189
- Mm-hmm.
- Who's a Anne Boleyn, then?

946
00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:20,066
Is that Carrie?

947
00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:21,185
- Not that Boris has the same problem

948
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:23,102
in the, uh, procreation
department as old Henry.

949
00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:24,021
-No.

950
00:39:25,350 --> 00:39:26,146
- So, you for the chop?

951
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:27,026
- Uh, yeah, I imagine so.

to get rid of anyone

953

have identified the pangolin

people of Mytholmroyd,

960
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:47,823
Storm Ciara has brought an
unwanted dose of deja vu.

961
00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:49,344
Here, and in neighboring towns

962
00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:50,829
along the banks of the River Calder,

963
00:39:50,910 --> 00:39:51,900
the torrential rain

964
00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:54,743
has left dozens of homes
and businesses flooded.

965
00:39:57,070 --> 00:39:58,822
(water splashes)

966
00:39:58,910 --> 00:40:01,504
{tense music)

967
00:40:05,350 --> 00:40:06,545
- Welcome to our first meeting

968
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:09,907
to plan for the expected
coronavirus epidemic.

969
00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:12,425
As you all know, NHS declared the virus

970
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:15,707
a level four critical incident
at the end of January,

971
00:40:15,790 --> 00:40:17,588
for the first time ever.

972
00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:19,149
So we need to start thinking about

973
00:40:19,230 --> 00:40:20,504
how we organize ourselves.

974
00:40:20,590 --> 00:40:22,661
Obviously this is Joe's specialty, so.

975
00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:24,184
- Yeah, uh, thanks Sally.

976
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:26,380
As most of you already know,

977
00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:29,110
I worked in Africa during Ebola.

978
00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:32,148
Now, the absolutely key thing
is to organize the hospital

979
00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:34,028
to prevent infection spreading.

980
00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:36,386
So that means early testing,

981
00:40:36,470 --> 00:40:38,939
and isolation wards for
those testing positive.

982
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:41,419
You also need a heck of a lot of PPE.

983
00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:43,626
- PHE have issued guidelines on this.

984
00:40:43,710 --> 00:40:46,179
We don't need the full Ebola-style PPE,

985
00:40:46,270 --> 00:40:49,740
just fluid repellent gowns, FFP3 masks,

986
00:40:49,830 --> 00:40:51,389
and goggles or visors.

987
00:40:51,470 --> 00:40:52,426
- Did they say why?

988
00:40:52,510 --> 00:40:55,024
«No.
- Well, makes my job easier.

989
00:40:55,110 --> 00:40:57,545
We'll never be able to source
the other stuff anyway.

990
00:40:57,630 --> 00:41:00,065
(siren wails)

991
00:41:00,150 --> 00:41:03,108
- Right, today we're gonna be focusing

992
00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:05,067
on some of the big changes

993
00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:08,063
I want to be seeing
happening in this place.

994
00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:10,380
Sometimes it's like
swimming through treacle,

995
00:41:10,470 --> 00:41:13,303
I need to cut through stagnation.

996
00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:14,585
- What about the floods?

997
00:41:14,670 --> 00:41:16,024
- What about them?

998
00:41:16,110 --> 00:41:17,305
- Well, there's gonna be calls

999
00:41:17,390 --> 00:41:18,460
for the PM to visit the
worst affected areas.

1000
00:41:18,550 --> 00:41:21,303
-No, no, no, it'll look like
we're responding to events,

1001
00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:22,380
rather than shaping them.

1002
00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:23,824
-Is the Secretary of
State for the Environment

1003
00:41:23,910 --> 00:41:25,264
gonna announce any flood measures?

1004
00:41:25,350 --> 00:41:26,829
- No, she's not gonna announce anything.

1005
00:41:26,910 --> 00:41:30,141
This is a big week. We need to
focus on the important stuff.

1006
00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:32,699

- [Carrie] Hello, it's Carrie,

1012
00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:43,466
You couldn't do me a favor, could you?

1013
00:41:43,550 --> 00:41:44,540
- Sure.

1014
00:41:44,630 --> 00:41:45,859
- Can you go and get me a
tuna baguette from Pret?

1015
00:41:45,950 --> 00:41:47,179
You can use my card.

1016
00:41:49,470 --> 00:41:52,349
Thank you so much. Thank you.

1017
00:41:52,430 --> 00:41:53,579
Could you get us some milk as well?

1018
00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:54,466
Just ‘cause we've run out,

1019
00:41:54,550 --> 00:41:56,223
and Occado doesn't come till tomorrow.

1020
00:41:56,310 --> 00:41:57,539
- Sure. How are you?

1021
00:41:57,630 --> 00:41:59,382
- Yeah, good, good.

1022
00:41:59,470 --> 00:42:02,189
Um, could you take Dylin for me as well?

1023
00:42:02,270 --> 00:42:03,988
« Ah-
-Is that alright?

1024
00:42:04,070 --> 00:42:05,105
- Okay.
- He's just desperate

1025
00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:06,749
to go for a wee.

1026
00:42:06,830 --> 00:42:09,026
Oh, and also, just in case.

1027
00:42:10,350 --> 00:42:12,307
Right. Thank you, Colin.

1028
00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:15,346
- We're all agreed

1029
00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:17,421
the outbreak is close to peaking in Wuhan.

1030
00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:19,387
Data in the rest of China is more patchy.

1031
00:42:19,470 --> 00:42:22,667
It's vital we get as much data
as we can from UK patients.

1032
00:42:22,750 --> 00:42:24,787
- Eight confirmed cases
here at the moment,

1033
00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:26,304
all caught the virus abroad.

1034
00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:27,869
- We're recommending a tenfold increase

1035
00:42:27,950 --> 00:42:30,305
in Public Health England's
test and trace capacity,

1036
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:32,984
in order to extend the number
of cases we can monitor.

1037
00:42:33,070 --> 00:42:35,220
- Yes, but we believe that contact tracing

1038
00:42:35,310 --> 00:42:37,506
may become potentially unsustainable

1039
00:42:37,590 --> 00:42:38,819
when the number of infections

1040
00:42:38,910 --> 00:42:41,504
resulted in more than 8,000 contacts

1041
00:42:41,590 --> 00:42:43,149
needing to be traced each day.

1042
00:42:43,230 --> 00:42:47,064
That would be for a total
of 50 positive cases.

1043
00:42:47,150 --> 00:42:49,300
- World Health Organization
says the disease

1044
00:42:49,390 --> 00:42:52,701
will now be officially called COVID 19,

1045
00:42:52,790 --> 00:42:54,224
and warned it could be 18 months

1046
00:42:54,310 --> 00:42:57,063
before the first vaccine
becomes available.

1047
00:42:57,150 --> 00:42:58,788
- You know, we should get away.

1048
00:42:58,870 --> 00:43:00,019
We should have a break.

1049
00:43:00,910 --> 00:43:03,026
- Oh yeah, it's very claustrophobic,

1050
00:43:03,110 --> 00:43:04,384
being cooped up here all the time.

1051
00:43:04,470 --> 00:43:05,619
- Well we can go down to Chequers-

1052
00:43:05,710 --> 00:43:08,304
- No, no, it's so stuffy there.

1053
00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:10,859
- Okay, well, Chevening?

1054
00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:13,339
- Blast from the past.
- Yes. Rev up the old engine.

1055
00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:14,943
Look, I could, I could talk to the kids,

1056
00:43:15,030 --> 00:43:16,429
1 could tell them the news,

1057
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:19,707
and we could get it out to the press.

1058
00:43:19,790 --> 00:43:22,464

Number 10's grip on power?

Sajid might resign,

1062
00:43:33,390 --> 00:43:36,906
and we wanted you to know
that we were considering

the Treasury special advisors

1065

- Yeah, and that you are happy for us

1068
00:43:47,070 --> 00:43:50,381

made in the manifesto.

1076
00:44:07,830 --> 00:44:08,900
- Yeah.
- Good.

1077
00:44:09,870 --> 00:44:11,190
I want you to get all
your stuff out of here

1078
00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:13,227
in the next hour, I need your desk.

1079

- I'm out.

1080
00:44:17,550 --> 00:44:19,860
- Shit.
-And you.

1081
00:44:19,950 --> 00:44:21,509

1086
00:44:39,470 --> 00:44:42,349
- By any other name would smell as sweet,

1087
00:44:42,430 --> 00:44:43,500
ef cetera, et cetera.

1088
00:44:43,590 --> 00:44:45,263
I've gotta be honest, I
was given that by a cook.

1089
00:44:45,350 --> 00:44:47,387
- Oh, don't spoil it.

1090

- [Newsreader] Other
high profile casualties-

1091
00:44:48,510 --> 00:44:49,306

1093

Oh gosh, this is so embarrassing.

1094
00:44:54,030 --> 00:44:55,464
Oh, what's this?

1095
00:44:56,470 --> 00:44:58,586
A gift from Hermes, perhaps.

1096
00:44:58,670 --> 00:44:59,466
- Oh, it's exciting.

1097
00:44:59,550 --> 00:45:01,541
- Yes, the Greek god, not the fancy shop.

1098

- [Newsreader] Labour have
called for a full investigation-

- Oh. Cleo thought you'd like it.

1101
00:45:08,230 --> 00:45:10,506
- Boris-

1102

to Debenhams' perfume counter

00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:18,261
questions about who paid for
Boris Johnson's accommodation

1106
00:45:18,350 --> 00:45:20,739
while he was on holiday on the
Caribbean island of Mustique

1107
00:45:20,830 --> 00:45:21,626
over the New Year.

1108
00:45:21,710 --> 00:45:22,905
- Have they nothing better to do?

1109
00:45:22,990 --> 00:45:24,185
- It was David Ross, wasn't it?

1110
00:45:24,270 --> 00:45:25,863
- Yes, what do they expect me to do,

1111
00:45:25,950 --> 00:45:27,702
take a charter fight to Tenerife?

- [Reporter] If this
was happening in London,

1116
00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:38,746
in some of these big cities,

1117
00:45:38,830 --> 00:45:41,902
closer to the politicians in
Westminster more would be done.

1118
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:43,981
I mean, where is the
prime minister this week?

1119
00:45:45,750 --> 00:45:46,979
- [Carrie] If the children
won't come down and visit,

1120
00:45:47,070 --> 00:45:49,107
you're just going to have to
tell them by text or something.

1121
00:45:49,190 --> 00:45:51,625
- Well, they're, they're busy, I think.

1122
00:45:51,710 --> 00:45:53,826
- You have to tell them now, we agreed.

1123
00:45:54,950 --> 00:45:58,625
I'm not going back to hide
away upstairs at that flat.

1124
00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:59,859
The mad woman in the attic.

1125

- Mrs. Rochester.

1126
00:46:01,510 --> 00:46:03,308
1 know, I know, I know.
1just, I, you know,

1127
00:46:03,390 --> 00:46:05,267
I'd rather do it face-to-face is all.

1128
00:46:09,150 --> 00:46:10,345
- There's something else I want to say,

1129
00:46:10,430 --> 00:46:12,148
don't take this wrong way.

1130
00:46:15,230 --> 00:46:16,629
You know in your book on Churchill

1131
00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:19,065
you quote that letter from his wife,

1132
00:46:19,150 --> 00:46:21,266
where she starts, "I
hope you will forgive me

1133
00:46:21,350 --> 00:46:23,944
if I tell you something that
1think you ought to know"?

1134
00:46:24,030 --> 00:46:25,100
- Yes.

1135
00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:27,784
- And you call it a superb letter,

1136
00:46:27,870 --> 00:46:29,861
shows how much she loves him.

1137
00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:33,020
And you say that she's totally bound up

1138
00:46:33,110 --> 00:46:34,384
in his life and career.

1139
00:46:35,750 --> 00:46:39,425
She writes, "There is a
danger of your being disliked

1140
00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:41,945
because of your rough, sarcastic manner.

1141
00:46:42,030 --> 00:46:44,465
Your private secretaries have
to take what's coming to them

1142
00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:46,507
if an idea is suggested.

1143
00:46:46,590 --> 00:46:48,786
You're so contentious that, presently,

1144
00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:51,623
no idea, good or bad, will be forthcoming.

1145
00:46:52,670 --> 00:46:54,104
You will not get the hest results

1146
00:46:54,190 --> 00:46:56,625
by irascibility and rudeness.

1147
00:46:56,710 --> 00:46:59,623
They will breed either
dislike or a slave mentality.

1148
00:47:00,550 --> 00:47:02,746
-And?

1149
00:47:02,830 --> 00:47:04,059
- Well, don't you recognize it?

1150
00:47:04,150 --> 00:47:05,948
It's the perfect description of Dom.

1151
00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:07,826
She says that people

1152
00:47:07,910 --> 00:47:10,379
have always liked working
for Churchill up until then.

1153
00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:11,585
And that is just like you.

1154
00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:13,468
People love working for you.

1155
00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:15,859
They hate him.
- God.

1156
00:47:19,190 --> 00:47:20,863
- You'll be guilty by association.

1157
00:47:23,230 --> 00:47:24,903
- The prime minister will be at Chevening

1158
00:47:24,990 --> 00:47:25,980
for the next 12 days,

1159
00:47:26,070 --> 00:47:29,347
so all papers should be kept
down to two sides at most,

1160
00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:30,340
one wherever possible.

1161
00:47:30,430 --> 00:47:32,068
He needs to recharge his batteries.

1162
00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:34,141
Our priority is to prepare the budget.

1163
00:47:34,230 --> 00:47:35,379
- The papers are running
with Labour's efforts

1164
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,665
on the Mustique holiday.

1165
00:47:36,750 --> 00:47:38,104
"Boris Johnson urged to fess up

after Tory donor denies paying for it."

1168
00:47:42,750 --> 00:47:45,344
- Westminster bubble stuff.
They'll forget it by tomorrow.

1169
00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:47,307
- Yeah, because they'll have
Storm Dennis everywhere.

1170
00:47:47,390 --> 00:47:49,984
We, we need to look like we're
doing more than last week.

1171
00:47:50,070 --> 00:47:52,869
- We need long term policies,
not short term fixes.

1172
00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:55,021
We need to think about the
climate, not the weather.

1173
00:47:55,110 --> 00:47:58,466
-I'm so sorry if you've
got the sack because of me.

1174
00:47:58,550 --> 00:47:59,346
- [Colin] Don't be silly.

1175
00:47:59,430 --> 00:48:00,659
1just, it looks like everyone who I know

1176
00:48:00,750 --> 00:48:01,820
has been pushed out.

1177
00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:06,465
- [Boris] Oh, Christ.
(paintbrush rattles)

1178
00:48:06,550 --> 00:48:07,585
- You alright?

1179
00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:12,665
- Oh, I, uh, I've got a bit
of the old black dog today,

1180
00:48:13,150 --> 00:48:14,948
as Winston used to call it.

1181
00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:17,021
- Well channel it into your art.

1182
00:48:17,110 --> 00:48:22,105
- Huh, right, my, uh, my
blue period, yeah. Yeah.

1183
00:48:23,070 --> 00:48:25,630
(somber music)

1184
00:48:27,550 --> 00:48:32,340
I have of late, but wherefore I know not,

1185
00:48:34,150 --> 00:48:35,788
lost all my mirth.

1186
00:48:39,110 --> 00:48:41,704
(tone beeps)
Lara, it's Dad.

1187
00:48:41,790 --> 00:48:44,464
It would be so lovely to see you.

1188

if you wanted to pop down.

1190
00:48:50,310 --> 00:48:52,460
Something I, I, I'd like
to talk to you about.

1191

{tone beeps)
Milo, Milo, Milo, it's Dad.

1192
00:48:55,470 --> 00:48:56,460

Hi Cass, it's Dad.

1196
00:49:03,110 --> 00:49:06,262
Um, I would love to see
you. I'm down at Chevening.

1197
00:49:06,350 --> 00:49:07,146
- [Newsreader] "The Guardian" says

1198
00:49:07,230 --> 00:49:08,459
Labour's calling on Boris Johnson

1199
00:49:08,550 --> 00:49:10,939
to sack a new Downing Street aid

1200
00:49:11,030 --> 00:49:13,385
who's past pronouncements
have caused outrage.

1201
00:49:13,470 --> 00:49:15,029
It's reported that six years ago,

1202
00:49:15,110 --> 00:49:17,670
27-year-old researcher Andrew Sabisky

1203
00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:19,309
proposed mandatory birth control

1204

at the onset of puberty,

1205
00:49:20,670 --> 00:49:23,708
to avoid unplanned pregnancies
creating an underclass.

1206
00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:25,269
He's also said to have claimed on Twitter

1207
00:49:25,350 --> 00:49:27,739
that Black Americans
have a lower average IQ

1208
00:49:27,830 --> 00:49:28,626
than white people.

1209
00:49:28,710 --> 00:49:31,145
"The Telegraph" says
it's spoken to an aide

1210
00:49:31,230 --> 00:49:32,026
to a senior cabinet minister-
- Another one of

1211
00:49:32,110 --> 00:49:33,544
Dom's bright ideas.

1212
00:49:33,630 --> 00:49:35,507
This sort of stuff plays
right into his hands.

1213
00:49:35,590 --> 00:49:36,386
Do you see that?

1214
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:38,939
He's, he's this Maverick,
this evil genius,

1215
00:49:39,030 --> 00:49:40,703
but this damages you.
- Yes.

1216
00:49:43,430 --> 00:49:46,866
- You have to rein him
in, let's clip his wings.

1217
00:49:46,950 --> 00:49:50,944
- Yes. I shall be the sun, and he Icarus.

1218
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:52,828
- [Newsreader] Samples
of British-grown rocket

1219
00:49:52,910 --> 00:49:54,662
contained a high level of nitrates,

1220
00:49:54,750 --> 00:49:57,503
which has been associated
with types of cancer.

1221
00:49:57,590 --> 00:50:01,026
{toothbrush scratching)

1222
00:50:01,110 --> 00:50:02,259
- I mean, what, what the hell is going on?

1223
00:50:02,350 --> 00:50:03,863
We look like a bunch of amateurs.

1224
00:50:03,950 --> 00:50:06,749
- [Dom] No it's just
wanker on Radio 4, moaning,

1225
00:50:06,830 --> 00:50:07,626
we should ignore it.

1226
00:50:07,710 --> 00:50:09,144
- Right, Sabitsky's got to go.

1227
00:50:09,230 --> 00:50:10,140
- [Dom] It's Sabisky.

1228
00:50:10,230 --> 00:50:11,789
-I don't, don't care
what his bloody name is.

1229
00:50:11,870 --> 00:50:12,701
He's gotta go.

1230
00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:15,350
We can't have some nutter banging
on about eugenics, can we?

1231
00:50:15,430 --> 00:50:17,103
- If we give into a bit
of noise in the media,

1232
00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:18,464
we're always gonna be on the back foot.

1233
00:50:18,550 --> 00:50:21,827
We need people with radical
ideas to shake up Whitehall.

1234
00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:23,230
- Right. Not those sort of radical ideas.

1235
00:50:23,310 --> 00:50:26,189
- I think It would be absolutely
the wrong move to sack him.

1236
00:50:26,270 --> 00:50:28,466
Never apologize, never give in.

1237
00:50:28,550 --> 00:50:32,464
- No, Sabitsky apologizes,
and he gives in.

1238
00:50:32,550 --> 00:50:33,824
- We currently have the capacity

1239
00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:36,709
to track and trace five
new cases per week.

1240
00:50:36,790 --> 00:50:37,860
- That's not very many.

1241
00:50:37,950 --> 00:50:40,988
- We're estimating that would
mean 800 contact traces.

1242
00:50:41,070 --> 00:50:42,060
Now we think we can ramp that up

1243
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:45,461
to 8,000 contact traces per
day, given the resources.

1244
00:50:45,550 --> 00:50:48,542
- So, 50 new cases per week.

1245
00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:49,426
- [Sharon] That's right.

1246
00:50:49,510 --> 00:50:51,262
- Obviously, if you look
at the shape of the curve,

1247
00:50:51,350 --> 00:50:52,784
or the number of cases in China,

1248
00:50:52,870 --> 00:50:55,305
we're going to outstrip
that extremely quickly.

1249
00:50:55,390 --> 00:50:56,186
-I agree.

1250
00:50:56,270 --> 00:50:58,420
Ithink we need to decide at
what point contact tracing

1251
00:50:58,510 --> 00:50:59,420
should be stopped.

1252
00:51:00,590 --> 00:51:02,228
- Hi, Johnathon, we've
got some wonderful news.

1253
00:51:02,310 --> 00:51:04,665
- We now have the genome
for a potential vaccine.

1254
00:51:04,750 --> 00:51:06,070
- Brilliant.

1255
00:51:06,150 --> 00:51:08,790
- We've added the spike
protein gene from SARS CoV2

1256
00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:09,905
to an adenovirus,

1257
00:51:09,990 --> 00:51:12,664
which triggers a T-cell
and antibody response.

1258
00:51:12,750 --> 00:51:13,865
It's pretty simple.

1259
00:51:13,950 --> 00:51:14,906
- [Peter] The best things always are.

1260
00:51:14,990 --> 00:51:16,981
- So, we need to start manufacturing

1261
00:51:17,070 --> 00:51:18,629
ready for human testing.

1262
00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:19,666
- Ideally, we need to run

1263
00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:21,388
all the stages of the trial in parallel,

1264
00:51:21,470 --> 00:51:23,461
rather than sequentially.
- I agree.

1265
00:51:23,550 --> 00:51:24,870
- So we need to find a manufacturer

1266
00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:26,349
willing to take the risk.

1267
00:51:26,430 --> 00:51:27,943
- [Patrick] John, school closures?

1268
00:51:28,030 --> 00:51:29,703
- SPI-M modeled school closures,

1269
00:51:29,790 --> 00:51:32,862
assuming children have a
transmission role for COVID 19

1270
00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:34,861
similar to that of influenza,

1271
00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:36,179
the model found that school closures

1272
00:51:36,270 --> 00:51:37,499
could have a modest impact

1273
00:51:37,590 --> 00:51:38,944
on delaying the peak of an epidemic.

1274
00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:41,590
-If COVID is similar to influenza.

1275
00:51:41,670 --> 00:51:42,501
- Yes.

1276
00:51:42,590 --> 00:51:44,024
(tense music)
(siren blaring)

1277
00:51:44,110 --> 00:51:45,384
- [Newsreader] Italy today reported

1278
00:51:45,470 --> 00:51:49,100
the first case of a European
dying from coronavirus.

1279
00:51:51,550 --> 00:51:53,507
- So, are we agreed that we will recommend

1280
00:51:53,590 --> 00:51:56,059
that threat level remains at moderate.

1281
00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:57,379
- [Committee] Yes.

1282
00:51:57,470 --> 00:51:59,461
- Peter. (sighs)

1283
00:52:01,030 --> 00:52:03,624
{tense music)

1284
00:52:09,710 --> 00:52:11,462
- [Newsreader] Two months since COVID 19

1285
00:52:11,550 --> 00:52:15,180
spread out of Wuhan, Italy is silent.

1286
00:52:15,270 --> 00:52:18,069
Yesterday two Italians
were the first Europeans

1287
00:52:18,150 --> 00:52:19,584
to die from the virus,

1288
00:52:19,670 --> 00:52:21,786
today another death has been confirmed.

1289
00:52:25,550 --> 00:52:27,621
In Milan, the world-famous Fashion Week

1290
00:52:27,710 --> 00:52:29,223
has been in the balance,

1291
00:52:29,310 --> 00:52:31,142
and in Venice, museums are shut

1292
00:52:31,230 --> 00:52:32,789
and the carnival was cut short.

1293
00:52:33,670 --> 00:52:37,061
There is a fear factor
too, as a country tries to-

1294
00:52:37,150 --> 00:52:41,747
- What we need to determine is this,

1295
00:52:41,830 --> 00:52:44,470
for every person who gets sick,

1296
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:47,190
how many other people are
they likely to infect?

1297
00:52:47,270 --> 00:52:51,662
So, for seasonal flu,
that's usually about one.

1298
00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:53,343
- Oh, it's a bit like homework, isn't it?

1299
00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:54,226
- I'm enjoying it.

1300
00:52:54,310 --> 00:52:55,345
- It's over three.
-I'm more of a

1301
00:52:55,430 --> 00:52:59,389
Carry On man, myself.
- Between four and six.

1302
00:52:59,470 --> 00:53:03,748
- "Carry on doctor,"
"Carry on up the Khyber,"

1303
00:53:03,830 --> 00:53:06,504
"Carry on Prime Minister."

1304
00:53:06,590 --> 00:53:08,900
- Boom, boom. (laughs)

1305
00:53:08,990 --> 00:53:11,550
{tense music)

1306
00:53:12,510 --> 00:53:14,945
- We believe that our
current surveillance work

1307
00:53:15,030 --> 00:53:18,307
will enable us to detect any
outbreak at its early stages.

1308
00:53:18,390 --> 00:53:20,188
This should provide
evidence of an epidemic

1309
00:53:20,270 --> 00:53:23,228
about nine to 11 weeks before it peaks.

1310
00:53:23,310 --> 00:53:25,347
- Good, and you're gonna
continue contact tracing

1311
00:53:25,430 --> 00:53:27,899
and find commercial solutions
for testing in hospitals?

1312
00:53:27,990 --> 00:53:30,743
- Yes, and PHE National Infection Service

1313
00:53:30,830 --> 00:53:32,901
yesterday issued guidance clarifying

1314
00:53:32,990 --> 00:53:35,743
that elderly people should not
be discharged from hospitals

1315
00:53:35,830 --> 00:53:36,626
into care homes

1316
00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:39,304
if there is risk of
coronavirus transmission.

1317
00:53:39,390 --> 00:53:40,346
- Good.

1318
00:53:40,430 --> 00:53:41,226
(horns blare)

1319
00:53:41,310 --> 00:53:44,382
- 1 see this is the case
of Wheeler and Johnson.

1320
00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:46,746
- [Newsreader] Lawyers today
agreed a financial settlement

1321
00:53:46,830 --> 00:53:48,901
between the prime minister, Boris Johnson,

1322
00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:50,788
and his wife, Marina Wheeler,

1323
00:53:50,870 --> 00:53:52,861
paving the way for their divorce.

1324
00:53:52,950 --> 00:53:54,099
(soaring music)

1325
00:53:54,190 --> 00:53:54,986
- [Reporter] Back in Hereford,

1326
00:53:55,070 --> 00:53:57,425
the flood levels are now slowly receding,

1327
00:53:57,510 --> 00:53:58,625
but in neighboring Worcestershire

1328
00:53:58,710 --> 00:54:01,270
the threat of rising water remains

1329
00:54:01,350 --> 00:54:03,261
as we enter yet another night

1330
00:54:03,350 --> 00:54:05,421
of people being told to leave their homes.

1331
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:11,342
- No one has ever used the weather

1332
00:54:11,430 --> 00:54:15,549
more dramatically or
effectively than Shakespeare.

1333
00:54:15,630 --> 00:54:17,587
Think of the storms

1334
00:54:17,670 --> 00:54:22,028
that trigger the action in
"The Tempest" and "Othello."

1335
00:54:22,110 --> 00:54:25,262
Think of King Lear wandering the heath,

1336
00:54:25,350 --> 00:54:27,023
abandoned by his daughter,

1337
00:54:27,110 --> 00:54:32,105
"Blow winds and crack
your cheeks, rage, blow!

1338

I tax not you, you
elements, with unkindness.

1339
00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:39,185
I never gave you kingdoms,
called you daughters,

1340
00:54:39,270 --> 00:54:41,784
then let fall your horrible pleasure.

1341
00:54:41,870 --> 00:54:45,226
Here I stand, your slave.

1342
00:54:45,310 --> 00:54:49,907
A poor, infirm, weak,

1343
00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:52,379
and despised old man.

"Shotgun horror killing
at Boris family estate.”

1349
00:55:09,030 --> 00:55:13,228

not one thing it's another.

- [Newsreader] More deaths in Italy

1352
00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:21,983
as the world is told to get
ready for a COVID 19 pandemic.

1353
00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:24,304
The markets take fright,

1354
00:55:24,390 --> 00:55:27,348
as the virus begins to
dent the global economy.

1355
00:55:28,510 --> 00:55:30,740
- Well, the number of cases
here is still very low.

1356
00:55:30,830 --> 00:55:33,424
However, what is happening
in Italy is a warning.

1357
00:55:33,510 --> 00:55:34,909
- Okay.
- And we believe

1358
00:55:34,990 --> 00:55:37,425
that we are a few weeks behind Italy.

1359
00:55:37,510 --> 00:55:38,306
- Yes, that's right.

1360
00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:40,666
- Okay. Okay, right.

1361
00:55:41,710 --> 00:55:43,860
- Morning.
- Morning.

1362
00:55:43,950 --> 00:55:44,746
We've gotta get you out there.

1363
00:55:44,830 --> 00:55:46,229
- Yeah, but what do you want me to do?

1364
00:55:46,310 --> 00:55:48,301
I mean, do you want to
get out my mop and bucket?

1365
00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:49,585
- Yes, 100%.

1366
00:55:49,670 --> 00:55:51,149
All of the papers are
running with the idea

1367
00:55:51,230 --> 00:55:53,301
that you are living the
life in a country mansion,

1368
00:55:53,390 --> 00:55:55,028
whilst everyone else is suffering.

1369
00:55:55,110 --> 00:55:56,942
- It's just weather,
there's always weather.

1370
00:55:57,030 --> 00:55:58,543
- It's not just weather, look.

1371
00:56:00,030 --> 00:56:01,350
- Well, actually, that's not bad.

1372
00:56:01,430 --> 00:56:03,421
-These are once ina
century fucking floods,

1373
00:56:03,510 --> 00:56:06,070
we can't look like we're ignoring them.

1374
00:56:06,150 --> 00:56:07,345
- Hospitals are starting to worry

1375
00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:09,819
about their levels of PPE.
- Yeah.

1376
00:56:09,910 --> 00:56:11,901
- NHS supply chain is struggling.

1377
00:56:11,990 --> 00:56:15,187
- There's an EU procurement
scheme starting tomorrow.

1378
00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:16,829
- Well, we've left the EU.

1379
00:56:16,910 --> 00:56:18,947
- We're still entitled to participate.

1380
00:56:19,030 --> 00:56:20,304
- We can do better than Europe.

1381
00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:22,063
We need to source it ourselves.

1382
00:56:22,150 --> 00:56:24,187
- In the reasonable worst case scenario,

1383
00:56:24,270 --> 00:56:27,183
80% of the UK population
may become infected,

1384
00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:30,308
with an overall 1% fatality
rate in those infected.

1385
00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:31,903
- Were you all agreed on these figures?

1386
00:56:31,990 --> 00:56:33,583
- Our projections haven't
really changed that much

1387
00:56:33,670 --> 00:56:34,501
since the beginning.

1388
00:56:34,590 --> 00:56:39,539
- 1% Of 80% is in the
order of 500,000 deaths.

1389
00:56:39,630 --> 00:56:40,950
We'd be overwhelmed.

1390
00:56:41,030 --> 00:56:42,384
- Dom, can I have a word with you?

1391
00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:43,869
- What word?
- About COVID.

1392
00:56:45,350 --> 00:56:47,944
{tense music)

1393
00:56:49,550 --> 00:56:53,225
- Hey, guys, can I have a word
with Ben in here privately?

1394
00:56:53,310 --> 00:56:54,141
- Yeah, sure.

1395
00:56:56,830 --> 00:56:57,626
- Thanks.

1396
00:56:57,710 --> 00:56:58,939
Shut the door.

1397
00:57:00,750 --> 00:57:01,626
- So their estimates

1398
00:57:01,710 --> 00:57:04,828
are around 500,000 deaths
if nothing is done.

1399
00:57:04,910 --> 00:57:06,230
- Have you checked the numbers?

1400
00:57:06,310 --> 00:57:09,666
- I've had a quick look.
There's nothing obviously wrong.

1401
00:57:09,750 --> 00:57:10,546
- Okay.

1402
00:57:11,710 --> 00:57:13,940
Get access to all data
and check everything.

1403
00:57:15,230 --> 00:57:17,107
- [Newsreader] In Italy
more people have died,

1404
00:57:17,190 --> 00:57:20,069
bringing the total number
of deaths there to 21,

1405
00:57:20,150 --> 00:57:23,302
with 888 confirmed cases.

1406
00:57:23,390 --> 00:57:26,428
- [Newsreader] The virus infects
the financial markets too,

1407
00:57:26,510 --> 00:57:29,628
as London's FTSE suffers its worst week

1408
00:57:29,710 --> 00:57:31,781
since the financial crisis.

1409
00:57:31,870 --> 00:57:32,701
- Might be your take on it,

1410
00:57:32,790 --> 00:57:34,701
but that is not what we discussed.

1411
00:57:34,790 --> 00:57:36,986
I've, I've gotta go.

1412
00:57:37,070 --> 00:57:39,266
Okay. Yeah.

1413
00:57:40,670 --> 00:57:42,422
- [Lee] Stock market's
fallen again this morning,

1414
00:57:42,510 --> 00:57:45,423
uh, it's down 200 billion this week.

1415
00:57:45,510 --> 00:57:46,784
-I think you should chair COBRA.

1416
00:57:46,870 --> 00:57:47,666
- Yeah, agreed, but Carrie and I

1417
00:57:47,750 --> 00:57:49,149
are going to Chequers this weekend.

1418
00:57:49,230 --> 00:57:50,664
- Monday then?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

1419
00:57:50,750 --> 00:57:52,024
- [Dom] Ben is looking at the numbers.

1420
00:57:52,110 --> 00:57:53,020
- Good.
- For now we need to focus

1421
00:57:53,110 --> 00:57:54,783
on the economic impact.

1422
00:57:54,870 --> 00:57:56,508
I'm gonna go through
the options with Rishi.

1423
00:57:56,590 --> 00:57:57,386
- Excellent. Good.

1424
00:57:57,470 --> 00:57:59,381
- I think we should start
focus grouping as well.

1425
00:57:59,470 --> 00:58:00,266
- [Boris] You're right, yep.

1426
00:58:00,350 --> 00:58:01,465
- Get Public First onto it,

1427
00:58:01,550 --> 00:58:02,984
and maybe we should think about

1428
00:58:03,070 --> 00:58:05,220
drafting in Ben Guerin and
Isaac Levido on messaging.

1429
00:58:05,310 --> 00:58:06,664
- Ah, the old team.

1430
00:58:06,750 --> 00:58:08,707
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

1431
00:58:08,790 --> 00:58:09,586
- Patrick, good to see you.

1432
00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:10,899
- Oh, hello, Prime Minister.
- Hey Chris, nice to see you.

1433
00:58:10,990 --> 00:58:12,424
Oh, hello, Matt, hey, listen,

1434
00:58:12,510 --> 00:58:14,183
I'm gonna chair the meeting on Monday.

1435
00:58:14,270 --> 00:58:15,305
- Great.

1436
00:58:15,390 --> 00:58:17,461
- Okay, this COVID virus we
need to keep an eye on, yes.

1437
00:58:17,550 --> 00:58:19,348
- We are, we are.
- Okay, thank you.

1438
00:58:21,310 --> 00:58:23,779
That's good. Oh just those, check that.

1439
00:58:23,870 --> 00:58:25,190
- Okay, okay.
- Okay?

1440
00:58:25,270 --> 00:58:26,066
- Right, thank you.

1441
00:58:26,150 --> 00:58:26,946
- Could you tell us

1442
00:58:27,030 --> 00:58:28,384
about the latest
developments, Prime Minister?

1443
00:58:28,470 --> 00:58:30,666
- Uh, well, yeah, as you can imagine,

1444
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:33,344
the issue of coronavirus

1445
00:58:33,430 --> 00:58:36,786
is now the government's top priority.

1446
00:58:36,870 --> 00:58:38,508
And I've just come from a meeting

1447
00:58:38,590 --> 00:58:39,785
with the Chief Medical Officer

1448
00:58:39,870 --> 00:58:42,988
and the Secretary of State
for Health, and others.

1449
00:58:43,070 --> 00:58:44,549
But as I say, I, you know,

1450
00:58:44,630 --> 00:58:46,826
1 think the best thing all of us can do

1451
00:58:46,910 --> 00:58:50,266
to prevent the spread of a
coronavirus is to wash our hands.

1452
00:58:51,430 --> 00:58:52,226
- Good, it was good.

1453
00:58:52,310 --> 00:58:54,062
- Actually, I quite like
that bit of a tiny smile

1454
00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:55,948
at the end there, just
to sort of sell it a bit.

1455
00:58:56,030 --> 00:58:57,589
- Yeah, yeah, it was great.

1456
00:58:57,670 --> 00:58:59,502
- Have a good weekend.
- Okay, thanks, Gazza.

1457
00:58:59,590 --> 00:59:00,421
Hello.

1458
00:59:04,350 --> 00:59:05,181
- Hello.

1459
00:59:05,270 --> 00:59:06,385
- I'll take Dylin, ma'am.
- Thank you.

1460
00:59:06,470 --> 00:59:11,465
(engines droning)
(gentle music)

1461
00:59:15,870 --> 00:59:17,099
- More wine, Prime Minister?

1462
00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:20,626
- Yes, please, I shall certainly
have some more, thank you.

1463
00:59:20,710 --> 00:59:22,223
Very nice itis, too.

1464
00:59:22,310 --> 00:59:24,301
- Thank you, sir.
- Excellent, good.

1465
00:59:24,390 --> 00:59:27,428
- You've still not said anything to them?

1466
00:59:28,830 --> 00:59:32,266
- Yeah. Hasn't been, hasn't
been quite the right timing.

1467
00:59:33,830 --> 00:59:35,423
- Okay, well this is your last chance.

1468
00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:36,341
- I know.

1469
00:59:37,310 --> 00:59:39,142
- ‘Cause I'm going to tell
everyone this weekend,

1470
00:59:39,230 --> 00:59:40,186
whether you've told them or not.

1471
00:59:40,270 --> 00:59:43,069
- Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

1472
00:59:43,150 --> 00:59:45,710
(gentle music)

1473
00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:49,584
- Many of you already know,

1474
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:51,900
but for my friends that still don't,

1475
00:59:51,990 --> 00:59:54,379
we got engaged at the end of last year,

1476
00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:57,223
and we've got a baby
hatching early summer.

1477
00:59:57,310 --> 00:59:59,586
This is what I'm going to post.

1478
01:00:01,190 --> 01:00:02,669
What do you think?

1479
01:00:02,750 --> 01:00:06,061
- You know, I bow to
your superior knowledge

1480
01:00:06,150 --> 01:00:07,629
of social media.

1481
01:00:07,710 --> 01:00:08,745
- [Carrie] All right.

1482
01:00:08,830 --> 01:00:11,390
(siren blares)

1483
01:00:12,630 --> 01:00:14,462
- [Newsreader] Eight
more people die in Italy

1484
01:00:14,550 --> 01:00:17,269
as the coronavirus continues to spread.

1485
01:00:17,350 --> 01:00:18,909
Today churches were closed,

1486
01:00:18,990 --> 01:00:21,425
as 240 new cases were reported

1487
01:00:21,510 --> 01:00:24,707
in the northern regions
of Lombardy and Veneto.

1488
01:00:26,190 --> 01:00:28,579
- He- hello, Lara, it's Dad here.

1489
01:00:28,670 --> 01:00:32,140
I, I wanted to let you
know a piece of news

1490
01:00:32,230 --> 01:00:33,948
before you read it in the papers,

1491
01:00:34,030 --> 01:00:38,263
which is that, uh, we,
uh are having a baby.

1492
01:00:38,350 --> 01:00:40,705
Uh, Carrie is having a baby,

1493
01:00:40,790 --> 01:00:45,307
another Johnson is on his or her way.

1494
01:00:45,390 --> 01:00:50,385
Um, so, uh, I hope to see you soon.

1495
01:00:50,950 --> 01:00:53,464
Okay, lots of, lots of love.

1496
01:00:53,550 --> 01:00:57,430
Yeah, um, it's Dad, of course. Bye, bye.

1497
01:00:57,510 --> 01:01:00,070
(somber music)

1498
01:01:03,590 --> 01:01:06,742
(keyboard clattering)

1499
01:01:09,670 --> 01:01:12,423
(dramatic music)

1500
01:01:17,230 --> 01:01:20,825
(dramatic music continues)

1501
01:01:25,270 --> 01:01:28,820
(dramatic music continues)

1502
01:01:33,270 --> 01:01:36,820
(dramatic music continues)

1503

(dramatic music continues)

1505
01:01:57,870 --> 01:02:01,465
(dramatic music continues)

1506
01:02:04,110 --> 01:02:07,705
(dramatic music continues)

(no audio)
