Lets get more on this now with our Political Correspondent nick eardley. £700 million. Give us more detail and where it will be spent. Remember the days when we used to speak about nothing apart from brexit . Despite all the focus being elsewhere, this has been going on behind the scenes, with the brexit talks continuing, and this is all part of making sure that we are ready for leaving the transition period at the end of this year. 470 million of that cash you have been speaking about will be for new infrastructure, things like ports to make sure that cheques can be done on anything coming into the uk and then there will be another 230 million which will go on getting new staff in place, we think there will be about 500 new border staff needed, and a new it system to make sure that everything is fine. There are some concerns in the government that ministers are being a bit slow on this. They havent quite got up to pace with exactly what is going to pace with exactly what is going to be needed to make sure it is all a smooth process. As you had there, instead of all coming in at the one time, it will be phased in over six months, and labour are saying they think the government is not on top of it. It is an attempt to persuade us or we will be ready. And are we going to hear more details tomorrow about a new points based immigration system . Priti patel is tipped to tell us more about that. We know there is going to be this australian filesystem where you earn points based on the skills you have and what you are contributing to the country. A couple of things i think we will find out tomorrow about special schemes. 0ne we will find out tomorrow about special schemes. One will be for nhs staff from other countries who will come to the work for the health service, there will be an easier route for them to get in. Likewise for people who have studied in the uk, a special scheme that comes into allow you to stay for two or three depending on the qualifications you have to build up the points you need with a better job have to build up the points you need with a betterjob or earning a bit more money. As i say, i think we will hear a bit more over the next few weeks about how the uk is getting ready for brexit. The government wants to persuade us all that everything is in place to make sure the end of the transition is smooth, whether we get the deal or not. Thank you very much.

John mcmanus, bbc news. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes says that until now, the president has refused to wear a Face Covering in front of the cameras, but said he was expected to wear one in hospitals. Well, there has been a lot of pressure on the president to wear a mask like pretty much everyone else is being encouraged to, especially in recent weeks. Indeed, in some american cities, it is compulsory if you go out in public, even out in the open air to wear a mask such is the problem with coronavirus, the growing problem in cities like the one im in right now, in los angeles. But the president has steadfastly refused at least to be seen in public wearing a mask. There was one occasion when he was out and about, it was a private visit we understand, and one or two pictures did emerge that he was wearing a mask. But, generally, he has become known for a president who did not want to wear the mask, and he explained repeatedly why he believed it wasnt necessary, that he is tested for the coronavirus frequently, so are the people around him, and he practices social distancing with those officials he works very closely with. So he didnt feel it was necessary, apart from today when he was visiting this hospitaljust outside of washington, when he said a couple of days ago, in a hospital setting, he said, he didnt want to be responsible for perhaps infecting other people, and of course that is one of the big reasons we are asked to wear masks, is to stop us infecting others, and it seems that the president has now heeded that advice.

He is preparing for major tournaments, they have 800 metres up a slope at his farm in calgary in wales where there is plenty of air and sunshine to basically give the horses a clear airto to basically give the horses a clear air to breathe. Have to finish running up the hill to get home. He is saying, people thought i was mad. I spent four years analysing it. Neither horses inhaling as clean airas you it. Neither horses inhaling as clean air as you possibly can. It is the moisture in the environment that holds the allergens and affects the horses respiratory system. There is a story here which many of us will identify with, from our youth, particularly with theme tunes, which have become so familiar. Yes, minister, grange hill. Did you like that .

Get in touch until is your favourite theme tunes. Do you always skip intro . Sometimes. But we have seen stuff on netflix like money heist, which has a really nice theme tune, but you get into the habit of skipping it after a while because you think, ive heard it. Iskip ive heard it. I skip every time. Thats the great thing about this programme you cant skip the theme tune. You cant get anything, can you . Thats the inside of the sunday papers for you this morning.

Someone has enjoyed an amazing sunrise. Looks like theyve been camping. Thats the scene on whats going to be a decent day for much of the country. Temperatures will be higher than they were yesterday. The only fly in they were yesterday. The only fly in the ointment is this whether front that will be arriving across North Western areas later in the day. 0therwise High Pressure will be in charge once again. Underneath the High Pressure, habitually first thing. Its going to warm up in the sunshine. There will be some patchy fair weather cloud, always more cloudy towards the Northern Isles of scotland. Cloudy through the afternoon in Northern Ireland, and the sunshine turning hazy in scotland, but we could make 20 degrees around the murray firth and aberdeenshire. 18 at best in Northern Ireland on 23 or 24 towards the south east of england, they were warmer day across the board. A fine evening across england and wales, but the rain will push across scotland. Further rain overnight moving away from Northern Ireland, patchy rain moving into england and wales. A lot more cloud around tonight. Temperatures are going to be much higher than over the last couple of nights, typically 11 or 12 degrees, because weve got this whether front thats arriving in the north west and slipping slowly further southwards on monday across the uk and pushing that High Pressure a little further away. So there will be much more cloud on monday. Some patchy rain heading its way down into Northern England, particularly into wales and perhaps the south west. Eastern areas dry. A little sunshine coming into the north, but even here its quite cloudy. A few showers as well. Not bad temperatures, possibly 20 degrees in eastern scotland with the highest temperatures in the south east, where we may see the best of the sunshine, 24 degrees here. That will bring a little rain across south eastern parts of the uk, nota across south eastern parts of the uk, not a great deal. Another one arriving into the northwest on tuesday, but we will be in between weather fronts really, and tuesday, but we will be in between weatherfronts really, and cooler and fresher and are heading away on tuesday as well. The north westerly breeze, not particularly strong, but againafair breeze, not particularly strong, but again a fair bit of cloud on tuesday. Some sunshine coming through now and again. Some showers, not many of those. It will cloud overin not many of those. It will cloud over in Northern Ireland, and we will see patchy rain, especially later in the day, but those temperatures are a bit low on tuesday, so we are dropping the temperatures in the north westerly breeze 16 or 17, similar numbers to yesterday in scotland and Northern Ireland, highs of 20 in the south east. 0ver Northern Ireland, highs of 20 in the south east. Over the week ahead i suspect there will be quite a lot of cloud across the uk. Not much rain, it has to be said. A drier week ahead.
