hello, i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. joe biden is in kenosha. he's met relatives of jacob blake who was shot by police last month, and this is his message to america. we got to heal. we got to put things together, bring people together. facebook says it will stop running new political ads in the week before the us election. new rules for uk travellers: wales and scotland are adding portugal to their quarantine list but no change for england. it's been called a confusing situation. and a video has gone viral of an australian woman being arrested in her home for trying to organise an anti—lockdown protest. sorry about my bimbo moment. i

didn't realise i was not allowed to. the optics of arresting somebody pregnant is terrible. president trump visited kenosha wisconsin on tuesday. nowjoe biden is doing the same. pictures coming in from wisconsin at moment. he's met with the family of jacob blake who was shot seven times by police last month when unarmed. that meeting took place in private. butjoe biden is now at an event on camera, meeting community leaders. let's listen in for a moment. it is considered the worst place in the next day for people of colour. 34%

of african—americans live in poverty. 24% of hispanics, 20% of native americans indians and 18% of people who are of asian descent. the point being made tojoe biden and of course we will listen across at the discussions he is having. when donald trump was in kenosha, he didn't meetjacob blake's family. instead he met with law enforcement officials. the debate over police violence and unrest on the streets is at the forefront of the campaign. and today, we got another reminder why. in march, daniel prude died after being hooded by new york state police and held face down for two minutes. now the family has obtained police body camera footage of the incident, which you may find distressing. get on the ground. get on the ground! mr prude had mental health issues. he'd been running naked

through the streets before his family called officers. the police put a "spit hood" on him— after he told them he was infected with coronavirus. the device is used to stop detainees spitting or biting. he was taken to hospital where he died a week later. this was his brother speaking on wednesday. i placed the phone call from my brother to get help. not for my brother to get lynched. you hear the protect and serve but you're basically here to protect and lynch. so there's a lot of emotion out there, and it is feeding into the campaign ahead of november's election. kenosha is in wisconsin, which is a swing state. four years ago donald trump bucked expectations by narrowly winning there, and it's a state he needs to hold onto for re—election in november. one poll for the presidential race in wisconsin published today hasjoe biden on 50% — eight points ahead of donald trump.

that's just one poll on one day but it's in line with others in the state over recent weeks. for more analysis — here's gary o'donoghue in washington. yes, it's very interesting. one estimate i saw that 75% ofjoe biden‘s televised advertisements focused on covid—i9 compared to 5% of the presidents advertising had on covid—i9, and we see where the respective camps are on this particular issue. he is taking on the law and order issue and making this journey to kenosha. we understand he has just taken some time with jacob blake's family and his father and mother were present by phone and some of the family's lawyers, as i understand it, we do not know what was said but i'm sure we'll find out at some point and he is going on now to have this community meeting that you mentioned

earlier that will be in public. gary, joe biden has been talking about healing americans coming together, but i've covered enough of these elections that a lot of the candidates say that and after the election, america does not appear to come together and i'm just wondering how potent that is as a political message given that so many of the candidates say it. i think it is a message that you have to say, don't you, you can't possibly say the opposite. so, there's little choice for candidates, but you are right, the issues that are facing america now are deeply ingrained in its history and right back to the founding of the country and the civil war and the problems of the 1960s and jim crow, earlier than that, all those things, these racial problems are much more than the last few months. and what has brought them to a height though, is the issue of police violence and that is central

to what is going on here in wisconsin and again, for that case you are referring to in rochester, new york, another case where a black person ended up dead as a result of an encounter with the police and it keeps adding to the narrative. i thinkjoe biden has little choice but to say that, of course, his emphasis is a little different from the president was doing the silent majority type that richard nixon ran on back in the late 60s saying that all of these people out there on the streets and in nixon's case, it was the hippies and the like, but i know that all of you people out there, the quiet silent majority really did want law and order. you can see the strategy behind that and we will see how that plays out on november three. facebook has announced it will stop running new political ads in the week before the election.

the argument being this will allow — any false claims or misinformation in political ads to be dealt with before election day. and facebook‘s promising to more actively moderate content that's posted. here's mark zuckerburg. if people post content that broadly is trying to delegitimize the outcome of the election, either by saying things like voting by mail will definitely defraud or things that basically undermine these democratic principles of methods of voting that we know are safe, then we are just going to add some context to those posts. facebook has been criticised as slow to act on policing false and misleading content shared by its users. it was facebook‘s rival, twitter that moved first back in may on this tweet from the president in which he sought to paint mail in voting as "substa ntially fraudulent. " twitter flagged that as "misleading". mark zuckerberg took a different

tack, saying that facebook was not in the business of being an "arbiter of truth." that was then, but clearly, facebook has had a rethink. this is all very tricky territory for a company that doesn't want to pick sides in politics. have a listen to how carefully mark zuckerberg chooses his words here, responding to cbs‘s gayle king. have you engaged with the president about his posts? i don't think recently, i've had discussions with him in the past where i said i think some of the rhetoric was problematic, if i did talk to him. i'd be clear in the importance of making sure that people have confidence in the election. here's silicon valley correspondent james clayton.

this is quite a big shift really. this is quite a big shift really. this is quite a big shift really. this is a real moment where mark zuckerberg is really decided this would be really poisonous election. and it is very likely that there be all sorts of accusations againstjoe biden the donald trump and they do not want to be at the very centre of that. and it is all about the lag, and this could go up and they can take it down. and one site can put up a misleading ad for six hours and i2, and it can take days and time to take these ads down and when it comes to the election, it's too late. now, an update on the coronavirus in the uk. lots of speculation about whether quarantine measures would change.

lots of speculation about whether quarantine measures would change. well for england — nothing new. for wales though, from friday morning, if you're coming from portugal, gibraltar, french polynesia and several greek islands you will have to self—isolate for 14 days. and scotland has introduced quarantine for people arriving from greece. and of course is part of a far larger crisis for the travel and tourism industry. leaders of the airline industry have accused the government of overseeing the demise of uk aviation. they're calling for coronavirus testing at airports, so that quarantine measures for travellers could be lifted. here's one airport executive. frankly, i think at this moment, they have overseeing the demise they are overseeing the demise of the aviation industry. we are seeing more job losses with the demise losses than the demise of the coal industry, and that surely cannot be an accolade that any government would like to have. in scotland, the ceo

of edinburgh airport has written an open letter to the government — criticising the quarantine policy he says is a "travel ban in all but name". he says it's "ineffective and unworkable" and has warned of "dark days ahead" if the government continues with this approach. well this is scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon. i absolutely understand and appreciate the damage that is being done to employment in the aviation industry and want to work with the sector, and given the nature of the challenge, work with the uk to try to address that as much as possible. as i've said before, when asked this question, we continue to look at whether there are effective alternatives to quarantine, but we have to be very clear about the limitations in that. now let's look at the issue of testing — and whether the uk's testing capacity is struggling to meet demand. the bbc has been told of people being sent hundreds

of kilometres for a test — and one government official has conceded that testing labs are "maxed out". health secretary matt hancock has announced funds to find more efficient ways of testing — such as a 20—minute saliva test. this was earlier. all the way through this virus, i have been expanding the testing programme and i am absolutely driving this as fast out as humanly possible. and the opposition‘s response to that. the prime minister said we would have a world beating system, but what we are now seeing is a postcode lottery. to understand the challenge here, we need to get into how the uk conducts its coronavirus tests. in england, this is the protocol. drive up to the testing area and they will come to your car window and take a swab from the inside of your mouth and nose, or at some sites, they'll give you a simple kit and instructions on how to do the test yourself. it is sent in for testing and that is it. you will receive results by text message within 48 hours.

but research at the university of cambridge says nose and throat swabs miss around 30% to 50% of infections. that's because you can have the virus but sometimes it's not present in the parts of the nose and throat where the swabs can reach. this cambridge research team has published a paper which suggests a combination involving an antibody test too. here's one of the authors of the report. and then we have saliva tests — these can be administered at home. anne wyllie is from yale school of public health, she's developed a saliva test that's been granted emergency use authorisation in the us. she's been telling me how they work.

it is, something that you have to do to collect a very simple saliva sample, with a tube, get a saliva into the mouth and you can take that and actually test for it, it is very easy to do. easier than some of the tests being done, could this replace off the primary other tests? it's not. i think we really need right now is more testing options and especially the tests that we have developed, it has to be processed in a lab, and we are seeing some of these bottlenecks sometimes and what is really helpful for our tests is getting more attention at the moment and it will help us develop more testing strategies and more test we can have on the market and options out there, the more we can have these more frequent testings

and can help us reopen and get back to our daily life. and requesting multiple tests to increase accuracy, is that a sensible route? it is one route, i think one of the things we need to think about is that we also need to shift from the traditional idea of very diagnostic testing that you have at one time and go to multiple, and the strategy, and it doesn't have to be the most sensitive test and if you have not had another test in two or three times, if it is increased to the point where you are infectious to the people, you're going to have two. it's more thanjust a cadence rather than just the one single time and accuracy or sensitivity. stay with us on outside source — still to come... russia has rejected accusations that it was behind the poisoning of opposition politician alexei navalny.

a significant moment for gender equality in sport. brazil will pay the players in its national football teams the same. here's sports correspondent, katie gornall. it is farfrom it is far from the norm. it puts brazil and a select group of countries that pay equally and includes the likes of australia, new zealand, norway, and we learned today england, the english fa revealed to us earlier that they have actually been paying their men's and women's players equally since january of this year. they just did announce it for their own reasons because arguably they don't wa nt to reasons because arguably they don't want to make a first but it is important because it means that england's women are one of if not the best supported teams and well football in terms of the resources they enjoy and now equal pay. that is farfrom they enjoy and now equal pay. that is far from the picture across woman football. most women's teams nearly dream of that type of treatment. you look at south america for example

where they have been numerous allegations from female players of discrimination. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? joe biden is in kenosha where jacob blake who was shot by police last month. on wednesday, germany said the russian opposition politician alexei navalny was poisoned with novichok. today, the kremlin denied having anything to do with it. translation: i would be careful talking about accusations against russia. there are no grounds to accuse the russian state, first of all. and we are not inclined to accept any accusations in this respect. all of this poses a question from western leaders — how to respond? sanctions are an option, but there are questions about they can sway president putin.

the chair of of germany's foreign affairs committee wants to go further — and stop the nordstream two gas pipeline. bear in mind nordstream 2 will double the amount of russian gas entering europe via germany. to stop that would be something quite extraordinary. and to be clear, we're not there yet. angela merkel says she's waiting on further investigations by the kremlin. here she is with her swedish counterpart stefan lofven earlier today. here are his thoughts. it is clear that the russian government have some answers to deliver and must investigate the matter thoroughly and transparently. the use of chemical weapons under any circumstances is a breach of international law and the stand united in the response and they also of international law and the eu stand united in the response and we also to be ready to act further. joe biden is in wisconsin. let's listen to what he is saying. every single corner with a military

person. i had ajob single corner with a military person. i had a job with a good law firm. a well—known law firm. one of the oldest law firms in the states. after a while i concluded that i was in the wrong place. there were good people. but i couldn't become a public defender. i used to have an interview my clients the northeast quarter, or amtrak runs from washington to new york, the area goes right to my city. and i used to interview clients down in the basement at the train station before the were arraigned. and here i was, thinking that we had the eighth largest black population of any state in the nation. we were to our great shame a slave state and

although we were one of those border states who fight in the side of the north, thank god,... joe biden addressing a community gathering in kenosha wisconsin. we will keep listening across will stop let's turn back to the pandemic. the australian state of victoria is still under lockdown as it tries to control covid—i9. and a video is being widely shared of a woman being arrested for trying to organise an anti—lockdown protest. here's some of it. you are under arrest in relation to incitement. incitement? incitement for what? what on earth. what on earth? can you like record this? i'm due for an ultrasound in an hour. yeah, she is pregnant. this is in a city west of melbourne called ballarat. victoria has been under lockdown since july and ballarat is still under what's called stage 3 restrictions. that means a stay—at—home order and a ban on gatherings. "inciting public protest"

is also against the law. here's some more of the video. in relation to a facebook post and relation to a lockdown protest and you said that. yeah, and i wasn't breaking any laws by doing that. you are breaking the law that's why... how can you arrest her, that's... can't you just say take the post down? i'm happy to delete the post, this is ridiculous. well, the woman in the video is zoe buhler — she's been released on bail and spoke after leaving court. for one, i am absolutely sorry about my bimbo moment. i didn't realise i was not allowed to. so ijust wanted to feel like i was doing something, standing up for human rights. and i'm just a passionate person and i'm sick of the lot down, i'm sick of hearing about suicide.

i personally lost myjob, you know. just sick of watching the economy collapse. her video has sparked debate about the use of emergency powers in australia. the context is that in the past month, the victorian police have issued almost 2000 fines for breaking curfew. and now, the the head of australia's human rights commission has become involved. in a statement they said, "i am dismayed at the handling of the arrest of a woman in ballarat. while measures to control infections have required temporary limitations of our rights and freedoms, they must always be proportionate to the risk." let's hear how the police have responded to the furore. i'd be the first acknowledge that the optics of arresting a pregnant female it will never look at. the optics of arresting somebody who is pregnant is terrible. but to be clear — the assistant commissioner says the officers acted appropriately. here he is on that. while this deadly virus doesn't discriminate, we might discriminate. and we can't discriminate in holding people to account. the authorities in victoria justify the lockdown by pointing

to the state's covid—i9 statistics. so far almost 600 people there have died, and there are more than 19,000 recorded cases of covid—i9. that's almost three—quarters of all cases in australia. and here's the graph showing new daily cases in victoria. you can see a huge spike starting injuly. at its peak in august there were 687 new cases in one day. that's been coming down — there were 113 new cases today. and because of that, this week the victorian government eased restrictions slightly. but it's in no rush. here's the state premier. it'll be frustrating, we will not be able to open everything on the same day. we just can't do that. victorians don't want all that they have given, all that they have achieved to count for nothing. they want it to mean something. and what it can ultimately mean is a long—term covid normal that we can probably defend against this virus. it's worth pointing out that

it's notjust victoria implementing tough restrictions. many australian states have closed their borders to people from other states. for example, western australia has had strict border controls in place since march. if you are granted an exemption to enter the state then you're required to quarantine in a hotel room of the government's choosing for 14 days at your own expense. that will set you back around 2000 us dollars. many australian states have closed their internal borders. here's shaun hassett on that. the prime minister scott morrison gets its way come open again by christmas. however, that is not all that likely considering the west and australian premiere as close the borders months ago and it's very popularfor borders months ago and it's very popular for doing borders months ago and it's very popularfor doing so. borders months ago and it's very popular for doing so. western australia is a covert free state and they would like to keep it that way. the prime minister will be meeting with all the state premieres virtually tomorrow where this will be the major topic of conversation. it is quite ironic that this is being talked about today considering that the federal government has also announced an extension on travel restrictions for leaving the country. if you are an australian citizen or a permanent resident and wa nt to

citizen or a permanent resident and want to get out to apply an exemption. only about one to four people actually being granted that. so very tough restrictions. how did these debates around the restrictions fit into the discussions around the state of australia's economy? australia is an unusual situation for the first time since the 1990s. australia is officially in recession. that was the news they came out this week. in australia, there is a federal state divide. the economy is seen as the prime ministers responsibility. the buck stops with him. he is very keen to get businesses back in victoria, the premier of that state is from labour, the other side of politics, and hazards on ability as health and keeping people safe. so at the moment, this meant a lot of divide between the different sides, also the australian public seem to be going along with the tough restrictions, but the government is talking about taking away some of the temporary welfare booths that have been put in place and if that disappears, the public mind may

change as well. thank you for watching. see you tomorrow. hello there. we've got a very vigorous area of low pressure moving to the north of the uk as we head through tonight and into tomorrow. what that will do is bring some cooler, fresher air to our shores, but also some strong winds and some pretty heavy showers, especially so across the northern half of the country. you can see this area of low pressure sweeping in to the north of the uk. quite a squeeze in the isobars, which will be affecting the northern half of scotland. that's quite a few isobars on the chart, so it's going to be breezy for all. eventually, we'll lose that weather front across the southeast, which brought a rather grey, damp day here. it does look like overnight, skies will be clear for many. for scotland and northern ireland, there'll be lots of showers around, particularly for northern and western scotland. some of them will be on the heavy side.

tonight's going to be cooler than it was the nightjust gone, with temperatures out of town in single figures. for friday morning, we start off on a cool note, but bright with some sunshine. plenty of showers across scotland, northern ireland, northern england again. i think its northern and western scotland we'll see the heaviest and most frequent showers. further south, we'll see a weather front just returning to bring thicker cloud to southern counties. some sunshine in between, but a cooler day to come, temperatures of 14—19 . as we head into the weekend, we've got this azores high starting to push up from the southwest, squeezing up against that area of low pressure over the north sea. it means we'll see a run of west, northwest winds, which are quite fresh at times over the weekend. and it'll feel cooler for all, a mixture of sunshine and showers. saturday then, a bright start for many, particularly southern, central and eastern areas where we have lots of sunshine. showers backing into northern and western areas, some could be quite heavy, and it'll still be windy in the northeast. slighty lighter winds further south, but it will feel cool, 14—18 c.

as we had through saturday night, we see another tangle of weather fronts pushing into the northwest of the country. that will bring more showery bursts of rain to northern ireland, southern scotland. that'll slide southeastward into sunday across parts of england and wales. there could be the odd heavy, maybe thundery one mixed in there across the southeast. but some good spells of sunshine in between, particularly in the north, but again, it's going to feel quite cool. 14, 17 or 18 celsius. as we head into next week, for the start, it looks like we'll start to feel some warm air moving in from the southwest. it could turn very warm for time across the south.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... changes to quarantine rules for people arriving from portugal. scotland and wales introduce new measures, but travellers to england will not face restrictions. new evidence that uk coronavirus testing capacity is falling short of demand.

people with worrying symptoms face long journeys for tests. a violent sex offender is jailed for a minimum of 38 years for the murders of henrietta sooch and miri—chan mustafa, their bodies were found in a freezer in his east london flat. seven thousand newjobs at amazon as the retailer responds to the online shopping surge. there's growing concern tonight that the uk's testing capacity is falling short of demand. the bbc has been told of people being sent hundreds of miles for a test. a government official is quoted as saying that testing labs are "maxed out". the health secretary, matt hancock, has announced details of a 500 million pound fund to boost capacity by finding quicker and more efficient ways to test people. here's our health editor, hugh pym. test results delivered in just a

couple of hours
