for coronavirus. almost 3,000 more people have tested positive for coronavirus in the uk — the highest daily figure since mid may. 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. england start well in the second t20 game against australia — they are chasing a total of 158 to win the match and the series. and coming up in half an hour — coronavirus: your stories will bring you extraordinary accounts from around the world about how covid—19 has changed people's lives. hello, welcome to bbc news. a police manhunt is under way following a 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 at random. 0ur correspondent sian lloyd sent this report from birmingham. a night of violence on the streets of birmingham. a man died, and seven other people were injured. two are critically ill in hospital. 1a ambulances 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, forensic officers were combing 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 infinding 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 in 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. isaid, look, he's stabbing the girl. no, he is robbing the girl. same echo everybody thought he was trying to take the necklace, the way he was going. 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 cordoned off. the next 2a hours will be crucial in the police investigation to identify and track down this killer. 0ur correspondent phil mackie gave us this update from the scene of one of the stabbings. i'll tell you where i am, this is irving street. we think this is where the last attack took place and we know now that that blue tent up then marks the spot where the man died at around 2am. i spoke to somebody who was staying here in an air b&b flat last night who says that his wife thought she heard someone that his wife thought she heard someone crying "help me" at around two other people in the flat say they heard sirens around that time. that sort of fits in with the sequence that sort of fits in with the sequence of events, where the first attack took place in that direction across the city centre at about 12:30am, then there were a number of other incidents near cromwell road

and ben hurst street, where you just had that eyewitness describing what happened. then the attacker must have come up this way and that was the last victim of the night and the one person who has died. of the seven other victims, two are in a critical condition and are still in hospital. we are hoping for some updates from the police about where the investigation is later on, but also updates about how they are doing in hospital. a confusing situation for police last night, as well. it seems that because so much of the city was involved, there were other scuffles and brawls going on in different areas, which perhaps confused eyewitnesses, as well, that what they were seeing. unfortunately over the last couple of weekends in birmingham in particular and across the west midlands and in other big cities there have been a lot of people coming back out again and that has led to some low level disorder, fighting, brawling. some of that going on, particularly around hurst street last night as the pubs and clubs were closing. there would have been some concern

initially, i'm sure, from the police that there was something more to this than a lone attacker, but by this than a lone attacker, but by this morning they were clear in their minds that this was one person responsible for all of these incidents over the city centre, walking through the city centre for an hourand a walking through the city centre for an hour and a half, walking through the city centre for an hourand a half, and walking through the city centre for an hour and a half, and as we have just heard that eyewitness say, quite casually walking up to people and stabbing them, leaving one person dead and other people in hospital. a further 2,988 cases of coronavirus have been reported in the uk in the past 2a hours, according to the latest government data. it's the highest number of new cases since 22nd may, and a rise of 1,175 on yesterday's figure. scotland has recorded 208 new cases — its highest daily increase for more than 17 weeks. two further deaths within 28 days of a positive test have been recorded in the uk,

that takes the total number of uk coronavirus deaths to 41,551. tougher coronavirus measures are being imposed in bolton in greater manchester because of a 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 is 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.

0ur correspondent gerry jackson is in bolton. some reports suggesting it could be even higher, this figure of 100 in 100,000. indeed. the goal posts seem to be shifting. bolton was one of the places where the disease micro regulations were due to be relaxed earlier this week but with a rising infection rate, somewhere around one in every 1000 people in the borough a p pa re ntly in every 1000 people in the borough apparently being infected, that move was cancelled and now the new measures have been introduced. indeed today the borough council had teams of people out and about giving home testing kits to young people who may not be showing symptoms, and explaining to them what the new rules are. firstly, instead of different households not being able to meet in homes and gardens, where for example most of the rest of greater manchester can meet, here you cannot it with somebody from a different households unless you are

in that mutual support bubble we just heard about. of course that has its own rules and regulations. secondly this goes back to the earliest days of lockdown. people here are being told not to use public transport unless it's absolutely vital for work or school orfor a medical appointment, absolutely vital for work or school or for a medical appointment, for example. a little earlier i talked toa example. a little earlier i talked to a local youth leader and asked what a lot of people want to know. what is going on here, why bolton and why now? we think young people in particular are being impacted by disease micro at the moment because of the vast majority working hospitality industry and of course we have had it out to help out which has brought people in their droves to restaurants and restaurants hiring more staff. it has been a tough time for young people to try to stick to the rules and that is now being shown in these figures that put us at the top of the table. bolton would be the same as a lot of other berries in the north and its hospitality and pubs and restau ra nts,

hospitality and pubs and restaurants, but why do you think it is here that it has happened right now? we are not sure exactly why it is bolton. but all the signs are pointing to the hospitality industry and also a lot of young people i think i'm now at the lockdown fatigue stage with school starting, coueges fatigue stage with school starting, colleges are starting. they were not able to celebrate the end of the academic year, graduations have not happened and i think that has a set in. we have had these additional restrictions since july and now i think it is time where people have thought, forget this, i'm going to go out and celebrate. in the town hall and among public health officials there is a widespread acceptance that the changing rules are a source of confusion for people. we have been around the town today asking those very people, do you know what the new rules say? i didn't even know this morning, to be honest, personally. we wouldn't have even known if one of our friends haven't have put it on facebook, so we've not been told, have we? no. by anybody, really. no, nothing at all.

so you don't know about the extra lockdown restrictions? apparently we are not allowed to see...people from other households? it's not very clear... but it's not very clear, is it? ..is what i'd say. no, it's not very clear. whose fault is it that you don't know? the government. like i said, i... i don't know how information is getting translated nowadays. there is facebook, but that's... you know... not everyone has facebook, so, like i said, i didn't know until my wife said. yeah, it'sjust word of mouth. word—of—mouth. we're not actually being told from anyone specifically. it's just... rumours. you hear it on the grapevine. with the vast majority of new cases in bolton and the surrounding borough being among those younger age groups, the message from here is that everybody has responsibility to do what they can to bring that infection rates down. as we have heard there were almost 3000 new confirmed uk cases of disease micro announced just today. the highest figure since may. this clearly is one of the hotspots of the resurgence in the coronavirus, and

with students on the move, children back to school, people being urged back to school, people being urged back to school, people being urged back to work, health officials and of course ministers will be looking at places like this very carefully and at the upward trend in cases in places exactly like this. great stuff. thank you very much indeed. 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 six 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 living under australia's toughest lockdown. it's 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're 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—19 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. 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. the stabbings occured at several different locations over a period of two hours — police are still looking for a male suspect. almost 3,000 more people have tested positive for coronavirus in the uk — the highest daily figure since mid may.

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 the 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. 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 to amount to 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 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. police in belarus have arrested dozens of protesters across the country following demonstrations calling for the country s president to step down. large crowds attended the fourth weekend of protests since alexander lukashenko claimed victory in an 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. minsk saw another big rally here today. this is where it has ended up, that building over there. that is president alexander lukashenko — the man who has run this country for the last 26 years — that is his palace. you can see it being defended, not just by what looked like military on the roof of it, but also by riot police here, by barbed wire. and here we have a small part of what was a pretty huge crowd that gathered for the demonstration today — probably in excess of 100,000. sunday is the big day for demonstrations here in belarus. once again, despite pretty awful weather, people turned out. it's now four weeks since that disputed election, when president lukashenko claimed he got 80% of the vote, and there is no sign at the moment that the demonstrators are at losing heart.

in fact, people who come here today are talking notjust about having a grievance about the election itself, but many have turned out because they are so upset about the way demonstrators are being treated. people have been dragged into vans, taken to detention centres, beaten up. but in part, the crackdown, the response to the demonstration seems to have motivated more people to come out. when i've been speaking to people today, one thing which seems pretty constant is that they are determined to keep coming out week after week, and it might take quite a long time because president lukashenko shows no sign of going, shows no sign of wanting to talk to the opposition, and for now it also seems that he has that crucial support from moscow, as well. so this might be a scene that we see repeated week after week for quite a long time. 5:21pm. 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 to say, man — to all the young cats out there, and even the older ones, older than me — there's a lot more life to live out here, man. your life, and not only just your life — your legs, something that you need to move around and move forward in life — can be be taken from you like this, man. 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, change your lives out there — we can stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out here. there's so much time that has been wasted.

jacob blake. the bangladeshi prime minister, sheikh hasina, has ordered an investigatation into the reasons behind a gas explosion in a mosque that killed at least twenty—four people. the blast took place when dozens of worshippers were performing friday evening prayers at the mosque near the capital dhaka. investigators suspect that a spark from an air—conditioning unit could have set off the gas. the prime minister said it was necessary to find out whether mosques were being built without proper planning and design approval. 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. 0ur reporter rachel stanton has been looking at the impact the storm is having on 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 the second powerful storm to hitjapan 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. rachel stanton, bbc news. three migrants have been rescued afterjumping into the sea from a large oil tanker, off the coast of malta. the captain of the maersk ettienne says the situation on board is near breaking point? almost a month after he was ordered to rescue the group of 27 migrants. he's called on european authorities to allow the vessel to dock, before food and water runs out. 0ur reporter freya cole has the story. 0n on board the maersk ettienne oil

tanker, a makeshift refugee camp. beds are made out of rope found on deck. it's a commercial vessel which is ill equipped for humanitarian rescues , is ill equipped for humanitarian rescues, and resources are running thin. a pregnant woman and a younger child are among the group of migrants from libya. the maersk ettienne says maltese authorities ordered the vessel to carry out their vessel on august four, but malta is yet to offer a place to dock. tunisia has also refused, and denmark, where the vessel is registered, is yet to offer a solution.

letters written by the migrants describe their gratitude to the crew. 0ne writes, "we don't know what to do or say, you gave us a second chance." what to do or say, you gave us a second chance. " another writes directly to the captain. "you are our hero." the crisis worsened when a three men jumped our hero." the crisis worsened when a three menjumped overboard. i cry for help in a situation which appears hopeless. they all survived but the captain has growing fears for the mental health of those on board. several boats have sunk on a lake in the us state of texas while taking part in a parade to support president trump in november's election. the sheriff's office for travis county said some boats took on water,

some stalled and others capsized. it said there was no evidence of sabotage, and no injuries were reported. just a few wet members of the crew of those boats. he created some of the most memorable images of the swinging sixties 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. three? yes. it's been 80 years. 80 years and i end up with that! instead of hanging on the walls of a gallery, 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 leads 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! i do them because i like doing them. like a spoilt child, really, dabbling with his paints. i used to scribble on books when i was a kid. i think being dyslexic helps because you never know what you're going to do. like taking a picture. it's difficult. i drive my assistants mad, becayse they say, i drive my assistants mad, because they say, "where are we going to do it?" and i don't know until i met the person, and then, when i meet the person, i use them to find out how we i'm going to do their picture. and those pictures have been doing a roaring trade during lockdown, with sales of prints rocketing.

i think people have time to think about things. when they're on lockdown. they sort of thought, maybe, "oh, i've always fancied buying a david bailey print!" which ones have been the most popular? jean shrimpton is always popular, always popular. she's the most popular one. even if you put her on the internet, she gets more hits than anybody else. the winsome david bailey, who created the famous model jean shrimpton and married the famous mother catherine deneuve, shows how to bring out the best in a woman. is there anybody that you would have liked to have photographed that you never managed to photograph? i've done everybody i like. i mean, there's ones i missed. i always wanted to do the cuban guy, castro, but i don't have any regrets because you can't do everybody. everybody has got a story to tell, everybody, even the most boring person has got a story if you dig deep enough. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello there. we'll keep some sunshine for the rest of daylight today.
