i think there were definitely periods when it was clear that the unwelcome advice we were giving was, as expected, not loved. rishi sunak pretended to be a waiter to talk up his eet a waiter to talk up his eat out to help out scheme. cats curry! werk atsu carries an plenteous besides were subsidised by the state to tempt us to go out again. eat out to help out we didn't know about until it was announced and i think our advice would have been very clear on that. —— katsu. the advice would have been it would spread covid put in his witness statement mr sunak claims i do not recall any concerns in his witness statement mr sunak claims... there is a certain inconsistency between your statement when you say you think that it would have been apparent to everyone that you opposed it and mr sunak who said you never objected to it. ministers, though, did have to have society why do well being and the economy in mind, too. but sir patrick vallance claimed borisjohnson often struggled to understand scientific advice. a late afternoon meeting with the pm on the schools... a month later, he said... sir patrick vallance also said matt hancock had a habit of saying things that turned out not to be true and that dominic cummings who worked for borisjohnson claimed that rishi sunak thought it was ok to let people die, as ministers considered further lockdowns. in the next few weeks the prime minister is expected here, as is borisjohnson and the former health secretary matt hancock. their decisions, theirjudgments are now under the most intense scrutiny. learning the lessons of covid. public hearings here will continue until 2026. chris mason, bbc news, at the covid inquiry. in argentina, supporters of the right wing outsider javier milei have been celebrating his victory in the presidential election. mr milei —— known as el loco, or the mad man , pulled off a major upset. provisional results show the self—styled "anarcho—capitalist" won with 55.7% of the vote, compared to 44% for his rival, economy minister sergio massa, 80 capitalist, some descriptions, using the us dollar as the currency. as the currency. donald trump congratulated him on his victory, saying he will "truly make argentina great again" and brazil's former president bolsonaro said "hope shines again in south america". katy watson reports. for argentina, this was a political earthquake. javier milei won by a wider than expected margin, and his victory sent a clear message. argentinea ns wanted change. translation: the situation in argentina is critical. - the changes our country needs are drastic. there is no room for gradualism. there is no room for half measures. mr milei was a relative unknown until a few months ago, but his brash manner, including wielding a chainsaw at a campaign event, got him noticed. in a country where annual inflation is now over 140%, and two in five argentineans now live in poverty, a drastic new approach to fixing economic problems was a clever move. translation: we have a new president. - there is future. there is hope. translation: perfect. he said everythingl we needed to hear. an honest guy who comes to put effort and work above all things. let's move forward. let's go, argentina. but the campaign was divisive, as his rival acknowledged when he conceded defeat. translation: | called him, - convinced that the most important thing for us argentinians tonight is to remember that working together, dialogue and respect for peace, rather than this violence, is the best path we should take. but it won't be easy for milei. on sunday, it was clear many are disappointed with politicians and their empty promises of change. translation: i'm a bit sad about the whole situation. l i don't know how this will help us move the country forward. at least we are voting and exercising democracy. mr milei has also pledged to loosen gun laws and ban abortion, and he and his vice president have repeatedly been accused of lacking respect for democracy and calling into question the official number of victims during the country's dictatorship. all told, milei's victory has been a shock for argentina's traditional political scene. javier milei said he'd deliver change for argentina. but few understand what that will look like. one thing's
