the area which now has the highest infection rate in england. uk foreign secretary, dominic raab, says this week is "the moment of reckoning" as the uk tries to strike a trade deal with the european union. tens of thousands of people have joined the latest anti—government protests in the belarussian capital, minsk. he has got him. he has absolutely got him. a wicket in the first over for england — as they make a flying start in the second t20 game against australia. and in half an hour — a behind—the—scenes look at the preparations, as some of italian opera's biggest names gather for a night under the stars in the verona arena.

hello, and welcome. a manhunt is under way following the series of stabbings in birmingham city centre in which one man was killed and seven other people injured. west midlands police declared a major incident after officers were called to reports of a knife attack in the early hours of this morning, with further stabbings then reported. officers are treating the four incidents in constitution hill, livery street, irving street and hurst street as linked, with the suspect thought to have moved from north to south. police say there is absolutely no suggestion that the stabbings were terror—related, and that the attacks appeared to be random. our correspondent sian lloyd sent this report from birmingham. a night of violence on the streets of birmingham. a man died, and have other people were injured. two are

critically injured in hospital. 1a abilities were called to four different locations in the heart of the city centre. we have launched a murder enquiry. clearly, we are still in the early stages of that enquiry. but what i can say is that we are treating all four of those incidents as a linked series. four separate locations within a mile radius. the attacks took place as people left pubs and restaurants. this morning, when six officers were coming at the pavements, gathering evidence that could help identify this attacker. police have confirmed that they are looking for one suspect, a man, in connection with all of these stabbings. at the moment, they have no idea where he is but they are asking for the public‘s help in finding him. as pa rt public‘s help in finding him. as part of their efforts to identify the attacker, officers are trawling through cctv footage and appealing to anyone who saw what unfolded last night to get in touch. they believe this was a random attack with nothing obvious to link the victims.

i have been saying for some time and the context of coronavirus that a lot of pent up feelings people have, not being able to get out, combine that with people who are now unsure about their future and theirjobs. it was almost inevitable that we would see a growth in violence. i'm not saying that this is directly related to that, but we are nevertheless seeing a growth in violence with younger people, particularly younger males, growing across the region. extra police are on patrol today. their message, that the city is still a safe place to visit. but last night people were terrified by what they saw.|j visit. but last night people were terrified by what they saw. i said, look, he's a stabbing the girl. he is robbing the girl. but he was stabbing her. because she screamed. it was very cold, and he wasn't even

panting. he wasn't reacting or anything. the manager said i will never forget your face. and he says, whatever. many streets in the heart of birmingham remain cold and off. the next 2a hours will be crucial in the police investigation to identify and track down this killer. our correspondent phil mackie is in birmingham. the police are pretty convinced they know what it wasn't about, so what was the motivation for these attacks? i really don't know, i don't think they will know until they get the man they are looking for in custody. they say it's not a hate type crime, it's not terrorist related, but until they speak to him, until they arrest him, it's going to be hard to know what sparked this sort of a random series

of attacks across birmingham last night. this was one of the locations. we think this is one of the last locations. you can see the big blue tent up there. a lot of activity up and down the street. you can see officers lined all the way appear. earlier on, there was don margaret that has been removed. but this is a half hour, ten minute walk from hurst street. another ten minute walk to the other locations. so this man was walking through the city centre last night, apparently able to carry out a number of stabbings across a period of an hour and a half. and still get away from each incident and not be captured by the police. it is something that is still an active investigation, and the key thing at the moment for west midlands police is to track that man down. of course. but no indication publicly about the identity of this suspect? and they said they got a

lot of images from last night, a lot of cctv, and there is some eyewitness footage as well. it suggests they got a sense of who they are looking for, and if they need the help of the public and the media, i'm sure they will release a picture. but at the moment that is not happened. that would suggest they have got a sense of who they are looking for. as i said, they are looking at that at the moment. there are a lot of police officers in birmingham at the moment, notjust where the stabbings took place, but the city centre. looking around, patrolling. it is to reassure people that have come out for the day in birmingham. lots of people have come it's hard to say there are more or less then it would have been normally because things are still quite quiet because of the pandemic. most people are still going to the shops, restaurants and coffee shops and having a typical sunday afternoon out, no one has unduly concerned. but there is in fact a man who was killed one and injured

several others who are still out there. and into the confusion, it was pretty busy in the city centre. a lot of clubs and pubs open until quite late. with quite a lot of brawling and fighting going on as normal. it doesn't really seem that much of a locked down socially distance to place at the moment. well, birmingham's a place where a lot of people come for a night out, notjust lot of people come for a night out, not just those who live in the city. from the west midlands and the wider country as well. hurst street, it's the gay village, it's got chinatown, isa the gay village, it's got chinatown, is a really popular place for hen and stag dos. although they are not really going on at the moment. what they have done is put sitting out on they have done is put sitting out on the streets to try and attract people in and remain socially distance to. but i think what the we st distance to. but i think what the west midlands police and crime

commissioner is referring to, this pent—up frustration, i've been speaking to him since april, his big concern was that there would be some kind of gradual growing violence as people are kept locked up. young people are kept locked up. young people with not many prospects at the moment. what we saw in the city ce ntre the moment. what we saw in the city centre while this was going on, created a more confusing picture. there was a fair amount of drunken fighting going on, which was probably confusing the picture for detectives who weren't quite sure if this was one person or a group of people, whether it was a single or a related incident. now, they are absolute certain that it is one man who was responsible for all of these incidents. the two people who were stabbed are in critical conditions. we are heading for an update later on. thank you very much indeed. the police & crime commissioner for the west midlands,

david jamieson, expressed his condolences to the family of the man who was killed. our thoughts, firstly, are with the relatives of the man who's died. it must be truly awful for them and friends, as well. and for those who are injured. in total, i understand that a total of eight people were treated by the ambulance service. two of those, i understand, are very seriously ill in hospital, but others have had relatively minor injuries but, nevertheless, a truly terrifying experience and a rare, but appalling, event that happened last night in birmingham. we've just heard that eyewitness evidence from a man who was talking about how calmly these stabbings seem to have taken place. how is it possible to rule out terrorism now when you look and hear about how these stabbings were carried out? well, at the moment,

i mean the police are the experts on terrorism. they've made an assessment and they don't think at the moment that it has terrorist connections. however, that view may be moderated in time when the person is apprehended. it may become clearer what his motives are, but there is no evidence at the moment that his motives were terrorist motives. there is no evidence of that at all at the moment. and no evidence of anything gang related, and yet we were hearing from other eyewitnesses that it sounded like a sort of brawling free—for—all in the centre of birmingham last night. young people out on the streets, gangs fighting each other, men and women fighting each other, and somehow out of all of this you have a fatal stabbing. i think there may be two sets of things we are talking about here. there are about four locations where this particular man stabbed

people on what appeared to be a random basis. the police are also looking into the other reports, as well, of violence which was generally far less serious but, nevertheless, very concerning. tougher coronavirus measures are being imposed in bolton in greater manchester because of the rising number of cases. the infection rate is now the highest in england. the increase is being driven by a spike among younger people. simonjones has this report. "everyone in bolton must play their part". that's the plea from the local council as tighter restrictions are introduced. the infection rate has risen to 99 cases per 100,000 people per week, the highest in england, with people aged between 18 and 49 accounting for 90% of cases. residents are now being told to only use public transport for essential purposes and not to mix with other

households in any setting — indoors and outdoors — unless part of a support bubble. although some restrictions are being lifted elsewhere, a ban on people from different households meeting indoors remains in most areas of greater manchester. the evidence suggests that it's still the home and gatherings in the home where we are seeing the most community transmission. let's be honest, people behave differently in the home, it's not as regulated as a public space, and that's why the restrictions are still there. the aim is to avoid a more draconian local lockdown, like the one seen in leicester injune, but there is a growing list of coronavirus hot spots. in leeds, students are about to return to their studies, and officials are worried young people are becoming complacent. other areas added to public health england's watchlist are south tyneside, middlesbrough, corby and kettering. last week, restrictions on visiting other households were reintroduced in glasgow. extra testing is being promised in problem areas, but the think

tank, the health foundation, is warning that the public don't think official coronavirus guidelines are clear enough, especially about who they can meet and where. simon jones, bbc news. australian officials have extended the strict coronavirus lockdown in melbourne. the city is at the centre of australia's second wave of infections, and has already been under lockdown for 6 weeks. the premier of the state of victoria said the measures would remain until at least the 28th of september. phil mercer reports. melbourne is being extended and will stay in place until the end of the month. the victorian premier is warning that without the strict measures the state is at risk of a third wave of infections. he says a cautious approach is the only way forward. we can't run out of lockdown. we have to take steady and safe

steps out of lockdown. to find that covid normal. if we open up too fast then we have a very high likelihood, a very high likelihood, that we are not really opening up at all, we are just beginning a third wave. there will be some minor changes to the regulations that have seen millions of australians in melbourne essentially forced into protective custody at home. a night—time curfew will start an hour later, playgrounds will reopen and more outdoor exercise will be allowed. but bigger changes will only come in the months ahead if the number of new daily covid—i9 cases continues to fall. dozens of people were arrested on saturday at anti—lockdown protests in australia's major cities. the demonstrations were driven largely by fringe groups promoting virus—related conspiracy theories.

their actions have been described by the authorities as selfish. the victorian government says that obeying the restrictions is the only option to ultimately bringing the lockdown to an end. victoria is at the centre of coronavirus crisis in australia, accounting for three quarters of total infections and 90% of all fatalities. here, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, says the eu "must now move" on key issues if there is to be a trade deal before the brexit transition ends in december. the next round of formal talks take place this week, but negotiators in brussels have said they are disappointed by a lack of concessions from the uk. mr raab accused brussels of "double standards" in demanding more from britain than it had in past free—trade deals. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. january 31st, when the uk officially

left the european union. since then, little has changed because of a one—year transition. but our long—term trading relationship is still being worked out. talks on that have been taking place, but for weeks they have been stuck with significant disagreement about rules on government grants for businesses and access to british waters for fishing. this morning, in a rare interview, the uk's chief negotiator, lord frost, told the mail on sunday he was prepared to walk away. we are not going to be a client state, he said. a message reinforced by the foreign secretary. the eu's best moment to strike a deal with us with all the pressure they are trying amount is now. the deal is on the table. it is a strong deal, it is what they have done

with other countries. why on earth would they try and apply double standards to us compared to what they have agreed with other less important and less close neighbours? there are not as many protesters around parliament just now, there is certainly not the tension there was this time year. but the stalemate in negotiations means a no—deal brexit, the uk severing ties without a formal trading arrangement is back on the cards. i hope for all our sakes the government gets a deal, but i am worried that either our fishermen will be sold down the river, or that we are going to get no deal at all. we are rapidly running out of time for this. the uk wants a decision, deal or no deal, to be reached by the end of october. last—minute extensions are not unheard of. but brexit could be back at the front of the political agenda soon. the headlines on bbc news... a man has been killed and seven people are injured in stabbings

in birmingham overnight — police declare a "major incident" but rule out terrorism. tougher coronavirus restrictions have come into force in bolton — the area which now has the highest infection rate in england. uk foreign secretary, dominic raab, says this week is "the moment of reckoning" — as the uk tries to strike a trade deal with the european union. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. now, australia won the toss. they decided to bat. it hasn't looked like the best decision for them. and they were soon to down as mark would came from behind. a brilliant piece

of fielding here from 0wen morgan. we can go live to southampton, it's live on bbc one at the minute. australia has continued to lose wickets there. currently 89 a5. you can watch this game on bbc one. it is also on the website and app as well. 0nto football. it has been a pretty dull affair between wales and bulgaria. it is still 0—0. wales currently top their group following their win over finland on thursday. the republic of ireland, they are on that group as well. they face finland at 5pm this evening. while the england defender kyle walker said he will be talking to manager gareth southgate about his international future after he was

sent off in their nations league game last night. he was given a second yellow card for a reckless lunging tackle, which he did admit was rash and unacceptable. he had been out for the site for over a year, with younger players coming into the frame he knows this could be the end of his england career. we all have to learn from that moment in the game, that incident in the game, because we have gone out of tournaments before because we have been down to ten men. and that is not a situation we have had in the four years that i have been in charge. so the response to it from the rest of the team was good. but, of course, it would put us in a really difficult situation, and we lose him now for the game on tuesday as well. onto the women's super league. the first of the games has already edged, and it was in

absolute thrashing of reading by arsenal. her second, the pick of the games goes, made it five — zero. a team—mate scored a hat—trick as well. 6—1 as arsenal take an early lead. and the remainder of today's matches are all under way at the moment. the pitch of the bunch would be manchester united against chelsea. the england manager, outgoing england manager, watching on at that game. blake shot a second round of 86, that is four shots behind dustinjohnson, round of 86, that is four shots behind dustin johnson, who round of 86, that is four shots behind dustinjohnson, who is still out in front. mike and roy slipped back to eight under. there is £11

million on offerfor the back to eight under. there is £11 million on offer for the winner here. great britain picked up a bronze medal in the mixed relay in hamburg, as france took the victory. france and the united states pulled clear out of the swim, leaving yi trailing behind in third. and the italian grand prix is back under way after it was stopped due to a crash. lewis hamilton leading at the moment. you can follow all of the drama via text commentary on the bbc website, and of course on bbc radio 5 live. 0n the website, too, you will also find details of the draw. that is all from me for now. the man shot seven times by police in the us state

of wisconsin, has urged supporters to be careful, and told them they have ‘a lot more life to live'. jacob blake was seriously wounded when he was shot, and could be paralysed for life. the shooting in kenosha triggered a new wave of demonstrations in several cities across the united states. mr blake said he was in constant pain and urged protesters to "stick together". ijust want i just want to say to all of you out there, there is an awful lot of life to live. your life, is not onlyjust your life, your legs, something that your life, your legs, something that you need to move around and move forward. they've been taken from me like this. it hurts to breathe, it hurts to sleep. it hurts to move from side to side. it hurts to eat. please, i'm telling you, stick together, make some money, make everything easierfor together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out here. there's so much time that been wasted. jacob blake, speaking from

his hospital bed. large crowds are protesting in belarus again today, calling for the country's president to step down. it's the fourth weekend of demonstrations since alexander lukashenko claimed victory in the election that was widely seen as rigged. in the past week, the belarusian security forces have intensified efforts to arrest or intimidate protesters. a leading opposition figure, 0lga kovalkova, has now taken refuge in poland. jonah fisher is following developments in minsk. so, this is the situation in the centre of minsk. you can see, they have entirely blocked the road with security forces. these are water cannons. they have not been used yet, but it hasn't deterred people from coming. there's a large crowd here calling on president lukashenko, who has run the country for the last 26 years, to step down.

it looks like at the moment, the crowd has decided to move off to a different part of town. but most of the centre of minsk today has been sealed off, or at least the areas where people might have gathered. there is barbed wire, there is military... they're trying to make it very difficult for the demonstrators to come together. as you can see behind me, people are still coming out, still calling for president lukashenko to go. hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated out of the path of a powerful typhoon which is on track to reach southern parts of japan, before moving north along the korean peninsula. it's the second storm to hit the region in less than a week. bbc meterologist, nick miller, explains. it was just in the early hours of thursday, local time, that typhoon maysak made landfall in south korea. and now, just a few days later, here we go again, another powerful

typhoon moving north, taking a similar tract. coming very close to the western side of kyushu injapan. some very strong winds and heavy rain here. and then on towards landfall in south korea early on monday, just to the east of busan. it will weaken a bit before making landfall, but still a very powerful system. now here is the track of the typhoon. once it make that landfall it will weaken further, but then taking strong winds and heavy rain northwards across the korean peninsula. of course, this rain falling on the ground saturated by the recent typhoons. that is just going to enhance the potential for problems, and certainly forflooding, as a result. three main impacts expected typhoon haishen. destructive winds still perhaps gusting up to around 180 kilometres per hour on landfall. we're going to see some flooding rain, we've mentioned that, on saturated ground. and of course big waves, high seas and a storm surge flooding parts of the coastline. let's have a look at the rainfall. as it moves its way northwards across the korean peninsula on a record—breaking season for south korea,

the fifth named storm to make landfall — and that's never happened before in a season. and our reporter, freya cole, has been looking at impact the storm in causing for communities in its path. over the kagoshima district in the south—western tip of japan, a dark sky looms over the city. below, the winds are picking up. shop fronts have been boarded, sandbags lay at the base of homes. authorities told residents to prepare and get ready for the worst. translation: typhoon haishen is very powerful. the agency urges people to be on the highest alert for record heavy rain, violent winds, high waves and storm surges. those who don't feel safe at home have been urged to seek shelter at their local emergency centre. authorities issued a staggering 5.5 million alerts across ten districts. translation: a disaster

is most likely to occur. i don't want that to happen, but residents should assume the worst and act accordingly. it's a second powerful storm to hit japan and the korean peninsula in a week. the north korean coastal city of wonsan wasn't prepared for the danger of typhoon maysak. leader kim jong—un has inspected the ruins while scathing local authorities for ignoring the warnings. but there's now little time for rest and recovery. typhoon haishen is on its way, picking up speed as it moves north along the coast. freya cole, bbc news. now, he created some of the most iconic images of the swinging 60s in london. now at the age of 82 — the iconic photographer david bailey has put on a new exhibition in the capital. alex stanger has been to meet him. these are the never seen before oil

paintings of one of the uk's best known artists — photographer david bailey. you were saying before that you have been painting since you were really young? three. yes. been 80 years. 80 years and i end up with that! david bailey's paintings are actually here in a shop, in the west end of london. i like the idea, i like the idea of anything that's different. sort of lead somewhere else and things are changing rapidly now with this silly virus thing. things aren't going to be the same as they were, which is quite exciting. and the best way to see this exhibition is apparently from the number 75. 0n the bus, it's the best. when you drive up oxford street, especially if it's raining, you get on the front of the bus, i did it last time, it's most exciting. 0nly lasts three minutes or two minutes but it's worth doing!
