the uk government has reimposed some coronavirus restrictions in parts of northern england — including greater manchester — in response to an increasing rate of transmission. the health secretary matt hancock said the spread of the virus was largely due to a failure to observe social distancing rules. new figures show england has had the highest level of excess deaths in europe becuase of coronavirus. while cities in spain and italy were harder hit — the virus was more widespread in england. donald trump has defended his suggestion to postpone november's election despite its date being enshrined in law. he claims there will be massive fraud in postal voting. the us economy has suffered its worst contraction since records began. gdp shrank at an annual rate of 32—point—nine per cent between april and june.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. to what the the papers will be with me are claire cohen — women's editor at the daily telegraph, and martin bentham — home affairs editor at the evening standard. the times leads on the news that the lockdown is being tightened in parts of northern england, amid coronavirus flare—ups. "north in lockdown 2", that's the splash in the mirror — which says that greater manchester, east lancashire and parts of west yorkshire are all being hit, with the new restrictions. trade unions are warning that people who are shielding must not be forced to return to their workplaces. that's according to the guardian. the daily mail carries the results of a study, which suggests people could ward off dementia by adopting a healthier

lifestyle. the same story makes the front page of the express. the newspaper hails the study as a "major breakthrough" in reducing the risk of dementia. and, both the us and germany have seen sharp contractions in economic growth, amid the pandemic. that's in the financial times. so, let's begin. very good to see you both. for those of you watching an hour ago, we had a few problems with your internet, but it looks very stable now. did you get a new router or something in the last hour. because he did not have the last time, we will start with you and we will begin with the daily mirror. big front page there, north and locked down too. after a covid—i9 spike, what do you think has prompted this? social distancing, is it a surprise? is not

a surprise in the sense that the government has warned that there will be further localised lockdowns and like the one we had in leicester already in some restrictions imposed in different parts of the country, but i think what is a surprise is the scale of this because these are rather large numbers of people, greater manchester is a huge place and the towns are quite big cities, and the towns are quite big cities, and there is very big areas of northern england there that have gotten into this, not a full lockdown, but a restriction on families meeting and two households meeting and indoor spaces and clearly, it is a reflection of the increase infection rates in those areas. and mainly down to people doing exactly what they're not being told not to do. meeting in households and not maintaining social distancing. clearly what the

government is trying to do is accelerating as it was and at that point i suppose if the classic thing is trying to get the problem fixed. and the quarantine introduction with the reintroduction of quarantine in spain which is a similar cost of reason, and all of that,. but it is not a complete lockdown, and but they could socialise indoors or whether you could see people in a private garden. but, it did you think that they could go further given this potential rising cases? many places think they are not going far enough when it comes to looking at the restrictions were imposed and

they're probably going to feel like there's been an inequality going on there. it would not be our government at the moment without a bit of confusion on this because the times and those who obviously on the first additions believe it's the indoor space pleasure pointed out and as the mp have been treating just now, it does apply to gardens as well. so, it seems like it very much is about social distancing that this public place where that is still being enforced, it is just they cannot see what you're doing behind closed doors, which is supposed to make people feel like they cannot be trusted and you know, these lockdown restrictions, trust has been placed in people to wear masks and perform social distancing and monitor and stay alert as the government message was and people feel like they cannot, the feelings of the cannot be trusted. it is

cadaver regional titles as well. the headline that the north had, there is an interesting paragraph here that says the announcement came a day after bradford counsel ward said the leicester style local lockdown may be imposed on the city due to the rights and the number of new infections. talks more about that. what we're talking about really was that they were seeing the date of the infections and they been going up the infections and they been going up in those areas and this is the result of it in clearly, local authority there was across the data and seeing this trend started to emerge and a lot of the consequences of what we saw happening in leicester is that if some other local authority areas were within the local authority have the type of problem and i don't think it's necessary to go further because of from going further as they can inflict all of that economic damage which we had as a result of the

first lockdown and so what you need to do first lockdown and so what you need todoi first lockdown and so what you need to do i would say it with the government are clearly trying to do is to balance it by restricting the virus without turning the clock laid backin virus without turning the clock laid back ina virus without turning the clock laid back in a way that is absolutely catastrophic, notjust for the figures of the economy but that will affect peoples lives, doesn't it in the general well— being. in affect peoples lives, doesn't it in the general well—being. in the long—term consequences and i do not think it should have gone further. that is a ricin could happen in bradford, that it could be more of a stricter lockdown as we saw in bradford, that it could be more restrictor lockdown as we saw muster. the government is not ruling anything out, it was only earlier today that boris johnson said anything out, it was only earlier today that borisjohnson said that we should not delude ourselves that we should not delude ourselves that we are out of danger. but there they are kind of stuck between a rock and are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. because people keep talking about yet at the same time, they are very aware of the accusations that they did not lock

down soon enough in march. they were saying that the data and trends show that perhaps two or three weeks behind spain in this bubbling up of various spikes and of course, back in march the date was suggesting two to three weeks behind italy and we all know what happened after that. so, they're stuck in this place were they all want to make for restrictions, but they were accused of not doing so before. but is moved to the daily telegraph and headlines on the right, all nhs consultation will be conducted virtually, matt hancock says as he wanted them to adopt zoom medicine. they were doing some journalism on the papers, normally in the studio. but tell the story? does not always work. but that was facetime, anyway. there are lots of

things that may change as a result of what we have been through, some of what we have been through, some of them through the positive and i think that cutting up the number of people who actually have to go to the surgery is probably a good thing. of the doctors can concentrate on her needs it, the only question will be is making sure the people who struggle with technology, who actually do the file gp are able to do so and ensure that itjust down the gp are able to do so and ensure that it just down the road and there's a lot of people in it might be more convenient to do for other people, but you need may not be something that requires a great deal of examination by the doctor. so, ithink great deal of examination by the doctor. so, i think it is a way of reducing some of the burden and we have been conversing for quite some time about reports all of the place about how gp overwhelm people and they can going to see the gp because of the volume of demand on them. so, itjust seems

of the volume of demand on them. so, it just seems sensible of the volume of demand on them. so, itjust seems sensible option or at least to try and move with the modern age and to make it easier for gp to focus on the people who really need to see them in detail in person. peoples competence with technology can be very ferrying. so my broadcasts, it's notjust you. but the daily telegraph says there we re but the daily telegraph says there were concerns that the shift online would affect elderly patients with limited access to technology and the british medical associations committee who said that by the union argued for greater use of technology the suggestion that appointments to be remote by default must be approached with caution. what is your reaction to that? of course, there will be a limited number of people for whom it is just not possible and i think her story also

ex presses possible and i think her story also expresses concerns about those who have communication difficulties and there will be people who for whom it is right to see the gp face—to—face. but, for the majority of people, this could work really well it sounds like a terrifying vision of the future but is martin has pointed out, we are already living it, we been doing it for the past five months and speaking personally, i've had a couple of gp appointments over video call in the last couple of months it initially, i was quite sceptical about them but they proved very fruitful and i haven't felt they need to be face—to—face but if i have communication issues, if i have technology issues or perhaps fewer new condition, you might want to see some of face—to—face, so it's out the nuance of it worked out but i think it is entirely right that the numbers of people scrabbling for those precious before and after work will try and fit them around childcare and it is truly difficult for a lot of people to see the gp

anywhere at the moment, so they can make life a lot easier and i think we should embrace it. i'm going to stay with you, the front page of the guardian. the crown prosecution service faced a barrage of criticism after rape conviction scale a record with police publicly censuring its policies and paving the way for a landmark legal challenge. tell us more about the story and why it is so more about the story and why it is so important. yes it is a story that makes my heart sink. and every report of years, they have been going down and down and this has been a crisis that has been building for a while now. as you say, these figures and out of record low and they were actually more reports of rape and the year 2019 to 2020, 50 5000, and the rate of convictions went down the rate of prosecutions

went down the rate of prosecutions went down the rate of prosecutions went down they think 1.4%, is really shocking. and there's a coalition of women's rights groups that have taken this to a court of appeal which is on today by coincidence and thatis which is on today by coincidence and that is going to lead to a judicial review on how they conduct their policy because they are accusing the cps, alleging that the only take forward rock—solid cases and anything perceived as weakjust isn't prosecuted in a conviction is not pursued. this is why you care so much language and can pander saying that rape is been decriminalised in britain because essentially, where we are now, if you are raped, you're probably not going to see justice and it is something that he are the victims commissioner said last month thatis victims commissioner said last month that is been effectively decriminalised. so we are in a really bad situation whereby essentially, people who are raping

women and it is largely women are allowed to lock the streets with impunity —— walk. but that is what we are approaching. in those rare convictions, when people are put in jail, there often released and the victims are not told in so both ends of the system just really hard and this landmark ruling today is an authority on the thing and authority needed. claire talks about such a low rate of convictions and it's not just in the uk, i have reported from america and india with the same issues persist and what do you think could change, if anything. but even needs to change the system? one of the problems is that it is a particularly, and to the chief crown prosecutor half of lending, rent

eight months ago said himself a good that it was really difficult case and it to prosecute because in the law stacked against them and the reason why he was saying that is, first evolve, the cases that there are convictions, there was one today in very horrible one. but often, people have it as word against word and what it happened, all in the context of two or three years ago, the guy attacked for the reason that male defendants have been acquitted, where information was revealed that they were not guilty of the crimes they were not guilty of the crimes they were not guilty of the crimes they were accused of. there is a balancing on one of the problems that they face is not only do you have to prove that the act took place about the women's consent but a lot of people were not realising that you have to prove the defendant did not have a reason to believe

that the woman did not consent and so, it is a complicated legal test. and of course, is absolutely diabolical that people get away with heinous crimes like this and clearly, that is happening. how you solve it, the only to do it is to, the traditional thing is being very close, paying very close attention from the start started next to keep in close touch with the people made complaints because otherwise, they will be in the system and dropout to pursue things and i could be a problem as well. simply keep them engaged because their testimony is absolutely critical. briefly before he moves on, it's touching on something of the margin was saying. do you think things have changed in the way women are believed or listened to post the conversation? because obviously, that is a part of

the equation, isn't it? whether women are believed in the situation when this happens. women are believed in the situation when this happenslj women are believed in the situation when this happens. i think there is greater awareness. 0bviously, when the conversation comes to light in the conversation comes to light in the public forum, definitely on social media. there is no greater understanding and the greater rush to believe people which is largely a good thing. all cases need to be interrogated properly though. but it comes to the cps and convictions that we have seen today, these woeful numbers, it shows the clearly the process is not working, whether it is and they are not being believed, whether it is the process itself is taking too long in the average of you do manage to get a conviction is about three years. imagine is hanging over you for three years. not to mention the few cases of, i don't want to say fosse

legations, but evidence they came to light up the last minute which cleared people and that led to women having their funds —— cleared people and that led to women having theirfunds —— phones confiscated by the police. there has been a culture of pushing victims towards not being believed were feeling like they are not. we only have a couple of minutes left, so an international story on the front page of the times newspaper in the headline is trump calls for an election delay over direct postal voting. largely it was a tweet that prompted this and talking about potentially delaying the november election. it is not easy for him to do that first start. key cannot do it. i'm pretty sure he cannot do it. congress has to do it. and i'm sure he will not be doing because he was well behind in the opinion polls. but to be fair, we do have elections postponed in this country in the london election which could've taken place this year because of the coronavirus

crisis. it is not completely outlandish, but i am quite sure that it is driven by his fear of the dismal poll ratings and a desire not to be defeated or explained with the defeat if he is going to be defeated, which is like the case of the moment. we do not have too much time. we are talking about mail in ballots, postal voting is wood culture. not being secure enough, but given covid—19, bella play a big pa rt but given covid—19, bella play a big part in november ‘s election. but given covid—19, bella play a big part in november 's election. cynics might point out that if he had gotten the situation under better control, not so much postal but voting would be required. but he is he being all of this attention on potential postal voting fraud because that, not diffused, of quite a few senior republicans, that it will alarm his voters that it will

get more people who may not send in their postal vote. it is quite a dangerous tactic, but i think he has, he can't really enact his senate and the house of representatives but have to postpone or move an election. just before we go, we're just going to share this cartoon. i do not know if you have enough time, as the met cartoon on your paper in the daily telegraph into it is someone looking ata telegraph into it is someone looking at a covid—19 isolation calendar in the caption is every day, there is a new contradictory piece of advice. 0n new contradictory piece of advice. on that note, i think we have to end the paper review but it is been great to have you back this time properly and clear his talk to you. that's it for the papers this hour. goodbye for now.

hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins with sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme... for 172. . . david willey starring with the ball for england, taking five wickets. decisive. it was curtis, south african raised with an irish passport, 59 not out on his island debut. when hundred 72 all out. nothing says remember me like five wickets for 30 and david will be could imagine thousands raising to their feet as he let england off.

they look like classicjason their feet as he let england off. they look like classic jason roy until he was out for 24. with a test match player in their own bubble, a betting opportunity for some billings, for example. his remember me 50 and the captain still place those shots. england victorious in the 28th 04, ten points in the qualifying super league. the road to the next world cup. keyboard exceptionally well today. 0ver the next world cup. keyboard exceptionally well today. over the last for five years when he was there, he really poured his heart and soul into every performance that he has produced by today, his skill level was way superior to anyone else on the field and consider we have not played a lot of cricket, that's pretty exemplary. we'll start with an update on the future of newcastle united,

with the latest bid to buy club now off. a saudi arabian—backed consortium has pulled out of the 390 million dollar deal to buy the club from mike ashley. 0ur correspondent katie gornall has more details from stjames park. everyone wanted the club to invest in the we thought that would be with them but we can say that they put them but we can say that they put the money back into the club and so, the money back into the club and so, the team can actually push on again and probably not. so, for me, it is and probably not. so, for me, it is a difficult time. criminal proceedings have been started against the fifa president which has everything to do with the secret meeting that he had with swiss attorney general in last week, they offered to resign after a court said he covered up the meeting and lighted during investigation by his office into corruption surrounding fifa. but they denied any

wrongdoing. fulham will face bra nford wrongdoing. fulham will face branford in the premier league next season despite losing the second leg of their championship playoff semifinals to cardiff, with them going through 3—2 on aggregate facing 2—0 and got up to the perfect start. there in front early on and thejury did not last long start. there in front early on and the jury did not last long as they equalised a minute later to put them backin equalised a minute later to put them back in control of the thai and they did give cardiff hope again with a goal early in the second half but they cannot find an equaliser to enforce extra time so it will be a westmoreland between fulham and bra nford westmoreland between fulham and branford at westmoreland between fulham and bra nford at wembley westmoreland between fulham and branford at wembley next week. england's women will not play in that she believes cup next year because of fears of her coronavirus. the fa said the decision has been made based on uncertainties around the future trend of the pandemic. england who won the tournament in 2019 also competed in this event in

the uk went into lockdown. ahead of the uk went into lockdown. ahead of the british grand prix, ahead of the british grand prix this weekend, racing point driver sergio perez has tested positive for coronavirus and will now miss the race at silverstone. perez is now in self—quara ntine, along wih all his close contacts, after becoming the first formula one driver to return a positive test since the return of racing. staying in america and there's been a big blow for the organisers of the us open tennis, with the biggest name so far withdrawing from the tournament. ashleigh barty — the world number one — won't be playing in new york next month, because she says there are still too many risks around the coronavirus pandemic. it's scheduled to be the first major tennis tournament to be held since the start of the pandemic, and there'll be no fans at flushing meadows. barty is also yet to decide if she'll play in the french open. it is still valid to have reservations and concerns in general andi reservations and concerns in general and i think those worries and stresses will dramatically vary

between the people and so i think some people will have more anxiety than others and at is very important to respect everyone's approach to this and it's been very different. finishing things there. and andy has been confirmed that the men's and women six nations will be completed in october with matches and both transmits them to be postponed because of the remaining rounds will be played on the 21st of 0ctober rounds will be played on the 21st of october with england topping the ta bles october with england topping the tables with the men and women's event. that is all this but for now, good night. hello there. the heat is continuing to build across much of the country.

it's going to be a short—lived heat because the wind direction changes again by the weekend. but a southerly breeze on thursday and bags of sunshine in the south lifted temperatures to 30 degrees around london. further north, you can see much more cloud where there is some rain too, only 16 int he central area for scotland. that rain is moving away and we have clearing skies and we start with these temperatures, 17 in liverpool, 18 in london, 20 or so in the channel islands where the heat is coming from. we are drawing all of that heat from france out over the channel, heading its way northwards across much of the country. that heat comes ahead of a weather front here, which is slowly pushing in western areas through the day. so, it is not going to be hot everywhere, northern ireland likely to miss out, for example, because on that weather front, we have a narrow band of cloud that is going to bring some patchy rain and some of that cloud will head into the western fringes of scotland, into the west coast of wales and the far southwest of england. but ahead of that, lots of sunshine, more of a breeze perhaps for a time,

but southerly and southeasterly breeze and the heat pushes northwards in the scotland. much warmer day in scotland. 28 degrees possible, widely 29, 30 degrees across england and east wells, 34 around the london area. but you may notice the cloud developing into the afternoon and late in the day and into the evening, there could be showers heading across eastern parts of england and those are likely to be heavy and thundery too. the rain coming in from that band of cloud is very light and patchy area and it sweeps eastwards overnight and out of the way by the start of the weekend. but we push away all of that heat towards germany and we introduce the atlantic breezes coming in and that means cooler and fresher air. over the weekend, there'll be some sunshine and a few showers, but you can see here on saturday that there are not too many showers, many places will be fine and dry. you'll notice a cooler in fresherfield. still, very pleasant for the eastern side of england with highs

of 25 in the southeast. for the second half of the weekend, you get a fairly gentle westerly breeze for much of the country, most of the showers in the northwest of the uk, cloud amounts increasing across england and wales. but again, it is cooler and fresher throughout sunday and those temperatures continuing to slip away and this time, we're looking we're looking at the higher temperatures in the southeast, around 22 celsius.
