thank you, mary, for coming in with us and to both of you forjoining us. remember the government's �*catch up tsar'? kevin collins was appointed to coordinate the school recovery across england. his message to the government was: "it'll cost you", up to £15 billion, we're told, to help pupils to catch—up on the learning they've missed. boris johnson balked at that figure, apparently. in all, the treasury has allocated £3.1 billion — about 12 billion less than kevin collins advised. he resigned. you don't have that luxury. how hard is this process of catch up? it is very hard, it's important to talk about the context, over a ten year period schools have faced pretty serious declines in our resourcing, budgets and capacity so now we are faced with unprecedented circumstances to try and help students to catch up not only on their learning but in vital social interaction in their development. there are a myriad of challenges out there. we are struggling. schools are set up well. there have been some sensible ideas around catch up, around things like tu

they deceived us. they brazenly tricked us. there were five waves of nato expansion, and now missile systems are appearing in romania and poland. is this russia's response? a build—up of russian troops near ukraine's border. the kremlin denies it plans to invade, but this is pressure, and on the west, too, as moscow demands an end to nato enlargement and nato military activity in eastern europe, what it calls security guarantees. translation: you must give us guarantees. - you must do it immediately, now. we won't be palmed off with decades of idle chatter about the need of security for all while the other side carries out its own plans. vladimir putin spoke for a long time, but gave little away about his intentions regarding ukraine, about whether, as the west fears, he's planning a large—scale military operation there. but what we do know now is that next month, us and russian officials will sit down to discuss the security guarantees that moscow is demanding, so there's still hope for a diplomatic resolution. vladimir pu

my guest is retired us general ben hodges, former commander of the us army in europe. is america in danger of losing the race to define the 21st century? ben hodges in frankfurt, germany, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, stephen. general hodges, it's great to have you on the show. i want to begin not by talking about geopolitics or military balance, but about covid and whether you believe for governments around the world, the global pandemic has led to some sort of shift in priorities, a belief perhaps that some of the military threats they thought they perceived aren't actually necessarily the number one priority right now? well, stephen, i certainly think that some governments have done that, but clearly the chinese government and the russian government have been undeterred from their objectives by covid. same for iran. so, covid is terrible. i've had it myself. i mean, it's no fun and no doubt, people are suffering. but that doesn't change the fact that we still have to deal with the threats of the real world. no, it doesn't change what you call the threats in the re

us. sadly, as a result of that day, we lost officers — some really good officers. but we held the line to protect our democratic process, because the alternative would have been a disaster. we are not asking for medals, recognition. we simply wantjustice and accountability. liz cheney — one ofjust two republicans on the committee — asked sgt gonell what he made of donald trump's comments about the attack. when you hearformer president trump say, quote, "it was a loving crowd, there was a lot of love in the crowd," how does that make you feel? it's upsetting. it's a pathetic excuse for his behaviour, for something that he himself helped create, this monstrosity. i'm still recovering from those hugs and kisses. our correspondent nada tawfik has been watching today's hearing and joins us now. what do you think stood out most from today's testimony?— from today's testimony? certainly the ower from today's testimony? certainly the power of _ from today's testimony? certainly the power

i use them to drive my car. but these are quite different to what you might find on a road car as they're tuned for a racing environment. but a racing team is more than just the drivers, and building systems like this into already finely tuned machines isn't a straightforward process. and so you obviously work with different iterations of these controls. how does that process work and how did you get to where you are now? well, first of all, we start with looking at the drivers and seeing what their needs are, you know, what their disabilities and what physical limitations they've then got. and then we start, from there, with the ergonomics of the control system that we're designing, and by that i mean the paddles that are on the steering wheel. and when we started designing this, we started with a very different steering wheel to the one we've got now so we're constantly improving it and developing it based on driver feedback. definitely challenges there, and a lot of that's integrating our system with the car
