newcastle and gateshead councils have already confirmed they will be added to the updated list which will be published later. gateshead said cases had more than tripled in the past seven days, with 113 new ones in the first week of september. around 55 cases 100,000 people. the mayor of liverpool, joe anderson, said he fears for the whole of merseyside will be joining them because of rising infection rates there. areas on the so—called enhanced support watchlist given additional resources by the government such as greater levels of testing, in order to avoid strict local restrictions being brought in like we've seen in some parts of the country. in england, it already includes major cities like birmingham and leeds. in wales, merthyr tydfil and rhondda cynon taff are being watched closely. meanwhile yesterday, northern ireland took the decision to place

restrictions on ballymena and parts of belfast. 50 we have the opportunity now to push down on this rising curve of induction and we must take that opportunity. we all know that we are facing into the difficult autumn and winter months which traditionally see pressures on oui’ which traditionally see pressures on our health services and our decisions today will detect those services and we believe also save lives. this morning, wales has announced its limiting the number of people who can meet indoors at any one time to six and almost belong to the same extended household group. yesterday, scotland joined england with its own rule of six, no more than half a dozen people from two households can meet, although children under 12 are exempt. jon donnison, bbc news. we're speaking to the welsh first minister mark drakeford about these changes. that's after six thirty. the european union is demanding the uk government ditches plans to change

borisjohnson's brexit deal or risk jeopardising trade talks. northern ireland secretary brendon lewis admitted on wednesday that the internal market bill breaks international law in a "specific and limited way". 0ur political correspondent, jessica parker is in westminster for us this morning. jessica, is this a stalemate in the trade talks? good morning, jessica. we heard the eu delicates in london yesterday, and, ifanything, the eu delicates in london yesterday, and, if anything, the rhetoric and the threats and the concerns about what will happen next have gone up a level? yes, certainly, the last 2a hours, tensions have ratcheted up. there was this emergency meeting between the eu and representatives in the uk government as well to talk to what borisjohnson is proposing to what borisjohnson is proposing to do with his internal market bill and it clearly left the eu commission deeply concerned. they are saying they want to see the government withdraw parts of those measures by the end of this month,

even raising the prospect of legal action if they don't and in parallel, what you got going on these trade talks about the future relationship between united kingdom and union. a big cloud hanging over those talks. having said that, the state m e nts those talks. having said that, the statements coming out of the future trade talks yesterday were that there was some progress and going to continue in brussels next week but it's very difficult to see those future trade talks actually making any kind of big through was this argument is going on about interpretation of the past, what was deviously agreed and the withdrawal agreement but perhaps another concern for boris johnson agreement but perhaps another concern for borisjohnson will be in westminster, there are conservative mps, and lords were deeply unhappy about what was going on and we will hear more about that next week as legislation starts to move through parliament. a government department has failed to keep staff safe from covid—19, according to an official inspection. the health and safety executive says

it has seen poor social distancing and a lack of one way systems at the department of work and pensions in leeds. the dwp says it's taken "urgent action" to deal with the problems. two major research projects studying the spread of coronavirus in schools are set to begin within weeks. scientists at bristol university and imperial college london hope the studies will help schools understand much more about how the virus is transmitted. here's our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. this is the only testing done so far in schools, swab samples taken in the summer term. the level of coronavirus cases was low then. now, all pupils are back in school in england, cases are rising in the wiser —— wider community but still, little is known about children so, in bristol, researchers will use saliva tests. 4000 pupils, 1000 staff, once a month for six months.

i think the main thrust of the study is really to understand the rates of infections and to be able to jump on them very quickly so we are giving them very quickly so we are giving the head teachers tools to be able to spot infection early and to keep their schools open and permit the continuity of education that is so important to them. catching cases early could mean fewer pupils isolating. another study in london would investigate more, following up on confirmed cases in pupils, looking in detail at youth and how they pass it on. branwenjeffries, bbc news. efforts are being made to provide shelter for thousands of migrants on the greek island of lesbos after a second fire in two days destroyed what was left of their makeshift camp. the site at moria was home to about 13,000 people. 0ur correspondent bethany bell is there for us this morning. bethany, what's the situation there? we are hearing reports of people having to sleep literally anywhere

there is space? if you look at the scene behind me, you will see lots of people who slept on the side of this quite busy main road here on lesbos last night. the third night they spent over the last few days. we have seen families and so little children. people really struggling to try and wash themselves, little bottles of water, and this is a time of course with the coronavirus pandemic, and there are a lot of fears that they don't quite know when they will have shelter again. the greeks on the island are getting very worried about the idea of another camp being built here, there isa another camp being built here, there is a lot of opposition to that, and we've seen aid workers around this morning handing out food to people, but in other places, the locals have blocked them because they say it's

time the migrant camps should be moved from lesbos altogether, but for now, there doesn't seem to be any kind of political guidance on that, people worried they are going to be here much, much longer. when i spoke to one migrant yesterday, they said, this is no good, we want to go somewhere else and start a better life than many of the greek locals would agree with that. thanks very much. it's 9:06. matt is in chartwell for us this morning — the former home of sir winston churchill. it looks rather lovely behind you. a bit of a chilly morning. good morning, it's a bit fresh. gorgeous surroundings here at chartwell house in kent, once the home of winston churchill. the home will reopen on monday and amongst hundreds of new items trying to shed light on what

winston churchill's life was like, an amazing insight. we will quite easily see why we fell in love with this area, it's absolutely stunning, very peaceful as well. especially on a nice calm morning like this. i wish i could say it was the same everywhere but it's not. let's look at the forecast. some dry and sunny weather. wet and windy weather, especially during the first half of today. the winds will touch 40, 50 miles per hour. spreading its way across parts of scotland and northern ireland, as we go through this morning. by the end of the afternoon, and parts of north—west england. much of england and wales,

a dry day, varying amounts of cloud. temperature similar to what we saw yesterday. at peak at around 19 or 20 degrees in the south—east corner. feeling a bit cooler across scotland and northern ireland and the drain for a time. temperatures in many places in the teens. as we go into this evening and overnight, the rain will gradually push its way further south. notice how it starts to fizzle out. as the weather front sta rts fizzle out. as the weather front starts to push, that will be a chilly start across the northern half of the country. single figure temperatures to start the weekend. a reasonable amount of sunshine as well. as the saturday, cloud across southern areas may produce the odd shower. many places across england and wales will be dry. temperatures similarto and wales will be dry. temperatures similar to friday. through the west of the weekend, temperatures rising up. thank you so much. could you

around, it looks great. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mail says the cabinet is "at war" over the new coronavirus restrictions for england. it says a string of senior ministers opposed the ban on gatherings of seven or more people, which comes into effect from monday. the guardian says brexit talks are on the brink after the uk rejected eu demands to scrap plans to override the withdrawal agreement. there's also a photo of diana rigg who has died aged 82. the telegraph also focusses on brexit and says the uk government could face "potentially huge daily fines" if it refuses to back down. and the daily mirror leads on a study which it says lays bare the hostilities between people who stuck to lockdown rules, and those who did not. it claims the nation has been "split" by coronavirus. the lockdown took its

economic toll on the uk, but how well is it recovering since businesses were allowed to reopen? later this morning we'll get official figures that should give us you know badges and scouting for various things. i was temporarily a scout. why temporarily? i did it for and it stopped. why did it stop? i came to work, how about that? were you thrown out of the scouts, charlie? the scouts have announced this is important. they got a barge now. you use to get one to building fires and everything. now get a badge for detecting big news. that's useful. it feels like a useful badge to have. alongside more traditional awards, the idea is they show their ability to root out on line lies. like a digital badge which makes a lot of sense. perfect sense. have you brought any masks lately? how

much would you spend on a mask? very little. £750. by louis vuitton. the designer masks are coming in. £750. eachis designer masks are coming in. £750. each is an engraved gold studs, monograms, and photogrammetric size stop she doesn't look very happy about the purchase, does she? stop she doesn't look very happy about the purchase, does sham changes simply to dive in sunlight. it's what you look like when you spend £750 on a mars, very happy. we love a tea story. there is a mathematician who is done alluded equations enterprise, the most lucrative rising academia, and he is

an austrian british researcher at imperial college london and is one the breakthrough buys the mathematic stop basically what he's done, is looked at some random effect like storing a cup of tea, turning it into this big piece and is looked at how to make a cup of tea, i can't see exactly how. it comes down to how things are stirred in the way the droplets work and that is why he has won a prize. i think we are lacking detail on this. does anyone have a spoon? what about whether or not you were kicked out of the scouts? there is only one way to stir a cup of tea isn't there? i don't have a spoon here. but there is only one way, ijust wa nt to but there is only one way, ijust want to illustrate... it is not that complicated is it? i am done. i

cannot find it. it does not say. complicated is it? i am done. i cannot find it. it does not saym is in here, anyway. do you have a theory? i think the best thing was a cup of tea... if you have any thoughts on storing tea and the squeezing teabag, thoughts on storing tea and the squeezing tea bag, you thoughts on storing tea and the squeezing teabag, you let it stew? do you have sugar? we literally do not have a spoon. lockdown has taken an economic: the uk. how well is the uk recovering since businesses were allowed to reopen. later that morning we will get that official figure and that will give us a clear idea to do cabana in the heart of the city of london for us this morning. good morning, ben. i have had my cup of tea already. i am fascinated by the chat you do need a spoon to really drag that makes

squeeze the drugs out of your cup of tea. let's talk about where tea is being made in the office, if it is. look, we are right here in the heart of the city of london this morning. much quieter, still, then it would have been before all this began but slowly more and more of us are returning to work and that means the economy can start to pick up speed once again. later this morning, economy can start to pick up speed once again. laterthis morning, in an hourorso we once again. laterthis morning, in an hour or so we will get the latest growth figures for the last three months and that will tell us how the economy is picking up. last month we saw the economy grew by 8% and a suggestion that as more of us were able to get back to work and shops we re able to get back to work and shops were re— able to work reopen. now pubs and restaurants can reopen. the economy should pick up some ground that it lost but remember it lost around 22% of its value after the crisis than it was before. so 22% smaller. it started to pick up some of that still a lot of worries about

jobs and whether businesses can really get back to some level of normality. let's talk some more about this. sue is with us, the head of us —— equities here. we will get the official figures at seven o'clock and we do expect growth to return but by no means does any of this cancel out the losses that we saw during the height of all of their static that is right. it is a question of continuing momentum of what we saw injune intojuly, more unlocking, more activity but it is going to take some time to try and even squeeze that fall that we saw. so we could still be looking at an economy that is about 10% smaller at the end of 2020 than it was at the end of 2019. some would say that 1096 end of 2019. some would say that 10% does not sound like a lot but if we start to put that into numbers and jobs and livelihoods, it is a huge impactand it jobs and livelihoods, it is a huge impact and it is very difficult to see how things change from here. i wonder, if we take a long—term view

how long will it take to get the 10% back? we're not looking at getting back? we're not looking at getting back to where we off in december 2019 until 2022. some forecasters stop a 2023 so it really does depend on the virus and about what measures we can work around to contain the virus, deal with it and return to activity and normalcy in daily life. and getting back to normalcy will be one of the biggest problems. it still does feel quiet in the city these days and many people may be choosing to work from home. we know the chancellor has tried to help with the jobs retention screen —— scheme and the fellow scheme but we know it is being wound down so there may bejob know it is being wound down so there may be job losses further down the line. that is a fear, that the unemployment rate is not the real rate at the moment because we are supporting workers to stay at home on the question then is whether those furlough schemes and job

support schemes will be extended. we have seen that across a number of countries in europe and still to see whether there will be any extension here in the uk. there is a lot of job creation as well. 1 million new jobs were created during lockdown, thatis jobs were created during lockdown, that is amazing. and whether there isa that is amazing. and whether there is a vibrancy within the economy to ta ke is a vibrancy within the economy to take us forward with some optimism. getting back to that normality it will take time and as far as we are concerned, internationally, the problem in the uk is that we are reliant on services. it is. a lot of activity is in professional services but also services the people consume. so it is arts, culture, restau ra nts, consume. so it is arts, culture, restaurants, all those sort of things that require people to come together and so hospitality, the arts, they are really at the vanguard of weather squeezes. for

now, thank you. later we will talk again. and as she was talking about there, the real issue and concern for many businesses is not necessarily what is happening right now because know the jobs figures and growth figures tell us what is already happening. real concern is what could come down the line because businesses are busy at the moment making up for lost time, the big issue is what comes injanuary and february when things may look a little quieter. we will get those figures at seven 0'clock. 21 minutes past six. let's talk about the biggest half marathon eventin about the biggest half marathon event in the uk, raising more than 25 million pounds every year. this weekend the great north run will take place — although the race will look very different. the event was cancelled because of the coronavirus,

so now a virtual version will be taking place with 16,000 people all over the world taking part. alison freeman reports. it was warm when i did it and quite hilly especially when you are in a robotic suit. the combination of all the factors made it difficult. every year there are amazing stories of bravery and overcoming adversary and journey is one that stands out. paralysed from the waist down, she completed the course in a robotic suit in 2016. but in the year the 40th race was meant to be run, things are going to be a little different. so this is normally the start line. newcastle's central motorway which, for one morning a year every year is closed to its usual traffic and, instead, we watch tens of thousands of runners streaming under the bridge to take pa rt streaming under the bridge to take part in the world's biggest half marathon. but the pandemic put paid to that so this year it is going virtual. download of a lab and when

you run it measures your distances. and so many people have joined you run it measures your distances. and so many people havejoined in and the support for seeing people run 13 miles wherever you are. claire's one of 16,000 people around the country and the world taking pa rt the country and the world taking part in the virtual race. we spoke to ace you have them to find out why. andy may win the prize for the most beautiful location for his great north run. the last 20 years i have been working and living here in colombia so i am in the andes, in the foothills of the andes. i thought running the great north run in colombia with headphones on and listening to geordies egging you on would be the maximum of strange so i went for it. gavin's reasons for taking part in southampton are a little closer to home. a virtual great north run was a fantastic way

for me to potentially motivate myself. i weighed nearly 21 stone, i struggled to walk a mile, the loan do anything else. covid—19 probably made the decision for me because of the health implications because we we re the health implications because we were due to have a baby injune. the health implications because we were due to have a baby in june. and these stories of people motivated by these stories of people motivated by the ones they love continue in the north—east, the home of the great north run. six—year—old connor's family will run their virtual race near the county durham home. they are raising money for the children's cancerfund are raising money for the children's cancer fund that supported them while connor was treated for leukaemia in hospital. your child is going through something dramatic but when you have that there it takes a little bit of knowing you can settle and relax, you have people around you supporting you. for these nurses on the congenital heart ward at the freeman hospital in newcastle, running his help them through the ha rd running his help them through the hard work they face during the

pandemic. it has been a huge lifesaver of the group, and just having the banter and leaving work and going for a run and having the drive to do that, that is really what the group was about, pushing us on and having that mental release after a challenging day at work. and in bucks, ian's fundraising does not just depend on and on his running performance. if i double my target, the beard will disappear. it may not be the experience everyone had hoped for but they are going to give it their role. i will miss the crowds because there is nothing like actually being at the great north run makes me want to go back again. good luck for sunday. good luck, everyone. lovely stories. it is so good to see that enthusiasm. and the biggest advocate of that event will be speaking to us later. did you

find a spoon for your tea? people have been in touch. i love a bit of tea chat. phil got in touch. he stirs 1's, no, twice, clockwise. let's get a close—up. this is a tea mug and so this is how phil does it. stir twice clockwise here we go and once anticlockwise that is for the maximum mixing of ingredients. here is another method. can ijust explain... that's daring and you do that at the end. no, lauren's technique is made by staring with the spoon backwards because it increases the movement and t releases in the cup. there is a question for you, releases in the cup. there is a question foryou, charlie, releases in the cup. there is a question for you, charlie, and cole wonders if you were expelled from the scouts for inappropriate use of a wobble. my thanks to the bbc spoon

department. they don't get the credit they deserve and i think it is worth pointing out. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. bbc london has discovered fake drivers' licences are being advertised for sale on social media. one of the sellers claimed he could ‘cheat the system' because he had people working for him in driving test centres. the safety body — the dvsa — says they‘re aware of the claims— but they've found no evidence of criminal activity by test centre staff. traders at the uk's largest flower market — new covent garden — say some may struggle to survive without help from their landlord. they're calling for a reduction in rent and service charges of up to 50% saying business has been hit during the pandemic.

we have been tenancies since 1974, pa rt we have been tenancies since 1974, part of the market since 1910 and i think it is appropriate for our landlord to give us more support during this time. a minimum of 50% i would think, a minimum of what they should offer us. absolute minimum 50% rent and rates. because look at it. well, the covent garden market authority says struggling businesses should speak to them, and it's already offered help to defer rent and a reduction to the service charge. gladstone park in north—west london, named after former prime minister william gladstone, could be renamed due to his association with the slave trade. brent council has announced a review and suggested schoolchildren might like to suggest a new name. the move follows calls for statues, buildings and street names linked to slavery across the capital to be replaced. let's take a look at the travel situation now. no reported problems on the tube, only that waterloo & city line that

continues to be closed full of on the roads there has been an accident on the e 23, closed southbound before the station. this is the black hole —— blackwall tunnel and there has been an accident on the a404, closed from the north circular to hillside. a404, closed from the north circular now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. like yesterday morning in the suburbs a chilly start this morning but a dry one with good spells of sunshine. and without sunshine continuing i think you will see temperatures lifting nicely like yesterday a bit of cloud around and particularly into this afternoon we will start to see cloud filtering through, a bit of a noticeable breeze from the south—west but in the best of the sunshine, temperatures in the low 20s celsius. through the night tonight there is a bit more on the way of cloud towards us from the north and a weak cold front could patchy rain into tomorrow morning

but it should be largely clear by first light. it means it is not ace chillier start tomorrow morning and then the day itself, a lot of fine weather and good spells of sunshine but these temperatures are the story of the coming days, increasing warmth well above average for the time of yearfor monday warmth well above average for the time of year for monday and tuesday, knocking on the door of 30 degrees. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: we'll be talking to young people and hearing their views as the health secretary matt hancock warns they need to be more careful about the spread of coronavirus.

patients, particularly the vulnerable ones, and those who have long—term conditions, respiratory problems, those who are elderly or have covid—19 or learning difficulties or or mental health issues, just check—in,. difficulties or or mental health issues, just check-in,. we know gps we re issues, just check-in,. we know gps were concerned. i get the pressure from what we are saying. were concerned. i get the pressure from what we are sayinglj were concerned. i get the pressure from what we are saying. i think people are becoming more confident in contacting us, still having the triage system in place. if they need to be seen. however, having said

that, those were previously shielding or the elderly who are relu cta nt to shielding or the elderly who are reluctant to come. we will go and see those who need to be seen but it's getting a lot busier, particularly in the last couple of weeks, we've noticed as we had at the start, the pandemic, people contacting us, temperatures. and thatis contacting us, temperatures. and that is starting to come back in. i think we've seen the numbers rising. all those positive covid cases and we're going to start to see an increase again that is what i am seeing at work stop i know there's been lots of discussion on this, quite a robust testing system. it has long—term, workforce implications. as it stands at the moment for you, somebody phones up,

talking to them over zoom, and they say i've got some systems which could be coronavirus symptoms, is your fallback position, could be coronavirus symptoms, is yourfallback position, get could be coronavirus symptoms, is your fallback position, get a test. and then you are finding people saying i've tried. is that something you are hearing routinely. we are hearing that elsewhere a lot.|j you are hearing routinely. we are hearing that elsewhere a lot. i am in manchester. we have had restrictions put on us because the number of cases is going up. we will get patients who phone, similar to covid, who will advise on extra treatment. we think it's bacterial, that will get them seen. they are told to isolate, and get a test. and even colleagues of mine who are off work and need to be tested in the

distance you have to travel, for me. i work distance you have to travel, for me. iwork in distance you have to travel, for me. i work in the city of manchester, we struggled to get to the local hospital, to say to them, we will try to make it so you have to travel less tha n try to make it so you have to travel less than 75 miles. people can't travel 75 miles. if you are unwell you have a temperature of 39 degrees being told to isolate, you feel very u nwell being told to isolate, you feel very unwell with muscle aches and pains. how you expected to travel up to 75 miles to get a test and that has employed a —— implications on work. i need to know, do they have covid or not, how many more members of my staff need to stay isolating, we have winter season, how many of my

staff are going to be in. that is the bubble at the moment. they are positive, they are negative. i think you know, the crux this year, the testing needs to be really, robust. i can't expect there to be able to travel 75 miles to get a test, it's not practical. it's time to talk to mike. it's a lwa ys it's time to talk to mike. it's always exciting when you get a surprise result. serena williams, is out of the us open, and it's quite a remarkable back story at the us open. she's been waiting years for a record equalling grand slam title, she is 38.

last year victoria azarenka almost gave up tennis, because she wasn't enjoying it. she says she was in a hole, partly because of a custody battle over her son, born 3 years ago. but since tennis returned, after the lockdown, she's won 12 matches in a row, and she's now into the final of the us open. azarenka beat serena williams in new york earlier this morning. williams easily took the first set, but azarenka, was simply inspired in the second, and 3rd sets, overpowering williams to win them both 6—3 to seal a famous victory. and so williams is still waiting for a record—equalling 24th grand slam title. azarenka will play the 2018 champion and fourth seed, naomi 0saka in the final tomorrow. 0saka beat americanjennifer brady in three sets earlier there were big statements surrounding the black lives matter movement, at the start of the new american football season. 0ne team, the houston texans, stayed in the dressing room during the national anthem, while the kansas city chiefs,

did line up, with only one player taking the knee. 0nce both teams had taken to the field, all the players gathered together, in front of 7 phrases such as "we must end rascism" and "we believe black lives matter", shown on a big screen. england and old foes australia, lock horns again in the cricket today, and this time its the start of the 50 over, one day series. reunion for the world cup—winning side with england captain eoin morgan, back after his finger injury. the team lost the final t—20 match without him and another of the cup winners, jason roy also returns for the match at old trafford. somebody will mention something from the world cup and we will talk about it for a bit of time but it really does put smiles on our faces. it for a bit of time but it really does put smiles on ourfaces. i don't think the world cup specifically, thejourney don't think the world cup specifically, the journey through those four years in the memories that we have in different series for different reasons, the memories that will stay with us for a very, very

long time and make them smile and cry and laugh at the same time but going through that really has built a specialfriendship going through that really has built a special friendship with the group of guys we have. huge relief for all leeds united fans, on the eve of the new premier league season — manager marcelo bielsa, says he is staying at the club. it's just he's just been too busy, to sign his new contract. the argentinian, led them back to the top flight for the first time in 16 years and his old contract expired at the end of last season, but he confirmed he' has agreed a new deal. they've got the toughest start to the new season, away at champions liverpool, tomorrow. to the super league and a dramatic win for warrington — as they came from behind to beat castleford tigers 12—10 to go top of the table. warrington were missing nine players — seven who were self isolating due to coronavirus — and hadn't led throughout. that was until two minutes from time when matty ashton went over to seal victory. elsewhere, hull fc beat wakefield 26—23.

and finally — "a dream come true". that's how 22 year old marc hirschi, described claiming his first professional win on stage 12 of the tour de france. the swiss rider had already come close to winning two earlier stages. but it was third time lucky on the longest one of the race. he took the lead with seventeen miles to go and held on to the finish in sarran. slovenia's primoz roglich retained the overall lead, adam yates remains eighth. there was put a smile on. absolutely, why not. you've got to earn it. it is 6:41am. they are still talking. we're going to talk about lockdown restrictions.

wales is expected to announce its own "rule of six" today as it sees an increase in cases of the coronavirus. it means people will only be able to meet in groups of six or under indoors, and follows similar rules being introduced in england and scotland earlier this week. we can speak now to the first minister for wales mark drakeford. thank you forjoining us. the changes, what prompted that? it's prompted by growing numbers of cases in parts of wales, not all of wales is affected by growing numbers. in many parts of wales, the bar —— viruses effectively suppressed but we are seeing numbers growing in the south—east of wales. we know that transmission is coming from people meeting people they know, it's not passing strangers, it's not in the doors, its people getting into one another‘s households. we continue to have an extended household arrangement where an extended

household is created. 0nly arrangement where an extended household is created. only six people in that extended household will be able to meet indoors together at any one time. by not extending this to our doors as has been done in england, are you not encouraging larger groups to get together? we still have a maximum number of 30 people at any one time. we have no evidence at all the viruses being spread by people together in the open air. the evidence of this has been very clear for a long time. the virus doesn't thrive in the outdoors and in the sunlight. it does thrive indoors and in the dark and the cold and we are making the distinction. it will be six people only. our children going to be exempt from the rule of six in wales ? to be exempt from the rule of six in wales? in scotland, it's under 12.

yes, we will be attempting children. what's the thinking behind that? we know again that children don't pass the virus as adults do, they don't suffer from the virus as adults do, we are required by regulations, the test of proportionality, we did that yesterday. we decided it wasn't proportionate to include young children were not vulnerable to coronavirus or to spreading it in the way adults are and we are not including them. does it feel as if the nations are coming together more in terms of message and consistency for the rules, because there has been some division?” for the rules, because there has been some division? i always thought the broad direction of travel has come between us all. until now, we will be in the position of being able to lift restrictions gradually over the summer. we've all reached a

point where in some parts of a different nation, coronavirus is on the march again. we are doing actions to prevent that from getting any worse. even more significant action. we been very fortunate to talk to quite a lot throughout block down on this programme. that will be very grateful. you have been consistently sent to impose the wearing of masks as has been imposed in england and scotland. will there bea in england and scotland. will there be a change in that today? we said back in august that if it reached a certain threshold we would revisit our advice on face coverings. today we are at a point where 20 people in 100,000 in wales are suffering from coronavirus to thatis are suffering from coronavirus to that is the threshold we use for

people to have your quarantine coming back into the uk and having reached that threshold, today we will be making the use of face coverings mandatorily in shops and enclosed public spaces in wales but if that figure falls in the future, that the virus is effectively suppressed below that threshold then once again will be able to revisit that advice. and how will that be policed? what will welsh people see thatis policed? what will welsh people see that is different because some would have chosen to wear masks now it will be mandatory as you said. lots of people in wales choose in any case to use a face covering when they are out and about. what they will see now is that it will be compulsory for people to do that in shops and that will happen from monday to give those people who have not got face coverings already a chance to get hold of them. there will be signage, there will be policing but policing is the last resort, isn't it? what we want to do

is to educate and inform and persuade and people in wales have been willing to pay —— persuade and people in wales have been willing to pay " play persuade and people in wales have been willing to pay —— play their pa rt been willing to pay —— play their part in keeping one another and other people safe so i am confident we will see good levels of compliance in wales. there will be a fine and there will be action taken if someone refuses to wear a mask? if they wilfully refused when the rules have been explained to them and the reason why we have to do it has been set out for them then of course in the end you have to be able to take action. that is the last resort and not the first result. —— resort. last resort and not the first result. -- resort. thank you for your time with us on access. brea kfast. matt's in chartwell at one of winston churchill's former homes this morning with the weather. good morning. perhaps not as palatial as blenheim house where he was brought up and born but it is a

stunning building, a stunning location as well and the house itself reopens to the public on monday. the national trust acquired hundreds of new items to help shed light on this life here. who better to show me then someone who knows the house better than most? this over here is exactly as i remember it. noni chapman's relationship with the house spans six decades. the old-fashioned typewriter and the switchboard, exactly as it was. the office here was a hive of activity. and you could hear the typing going on in the background. after starting work at chartwell in the early 16th she went on to play an important role supporting the family, working alongside this wife after so winston died. he used to love to feed the old north in the pools and i used to have to collect the live bait that

he fed them with and one of myjobs once a week i used to take these big ten ulcers of films, big film reels with me to the station, i think on a friday, and then i would click the new films —— collect the new films that would be shown on the weekend. her experiences help the national trust unlock some of the secrets and stories behind hundreds of items acquired and soon to be on show here. this is winston churchill's study. it is one of the most important things in the house and this is where he would spend hours of this time so amongst others there isa of this time so amongst others there is a beautiful painting of blenheim palace, of course, where he was born. a speech box as well that housed the notes that would inform the words that would inspire a nation. this is one of the most important object in our whole collection. it charts visitors to cha rtwell collection. it charts visitors to chartwell between 1924 and 1964 and

with over 700 signatures it really isa with over 700 signatures it really is a who's who of the early 20th century. among the signatories are charlie chaplin and my favourite is a lesser—known figure, a gentleman told fabienne von flood and off, a member of the german resistance who was informing churchill in the lead up was informing churchill in the lead up to the second world war and visited afterwards. he was actually involved in an assassination attempt on hitler so an interesting individual. volunteers have given up 6000 hours of their time to help with the project. their research, as well as new items in the house have put the essence of churchill back into chart well. but what better resource did the national resource have than the people who knew him the best? lady churchill, i adored her. she was a wonderful character but a very strong character and i often used to think, it amazed me how to such strong characters must have lived together in such harmony.

the atmosphere was fantastic. it was such a happy atmosphere. lady churchill loved flowers and had flowers everywhere. log fires burning, you could just go where you wa nted burning, you could just go where you wanted to. everybody was happy here. as you can hear everybody loved the place and it was a joy to speak to her yesterday. hurt a lot more about churchill and so many things i didn't know. you do get a feel of that if you visit the museum, open from monday as i mentioned but you will have to book in advance to come here. like many places across the country at the moment. and what have you you will enjoy as well. a peaceful start here this morning. not the same everywhere, looking at the forecast because while many parts of england and wales of the country is dry we do have much more on their way of cloud and outbreaks of rain set to spread across northern scotland. a wet and windy

speu northern scotland. a wet and windy spell this morning into the early afternoon for some of you. that is all afternoon for some of you. that is a ll courtesy afternoon for some of you. that is all courtesy of cloud that has been spilling of the atlantic through the night and will gradually work southwards and eastwards so they will not be as much sunshine around today as we saw through yesterday. heavy rain and wind touching maybe 40, 50 heavy rain and wind touching maybe 40,50 mile an hourat times, further east and for northern ireland, heavy bursts as well and by the afternoon the rain will be pushing into the north—west of england in the north—west of wales. it meant scotland should brighten up later in the day in the in wind will ease a little bit. another dry day install with a fair bit of cloud but some sunny install with a fair bit of cloud but some sunny spells as well and temperatures up to 20 degrees. so temperatures up to 20 degrees. so temperatures is 20 in the south—east corner, maybe low teens. the cool air pushes southwards again with rain and times in england, that fizzles as it spreads towards the south—west and it would keep the temperatures appear bit further north clear skies around will be another cooler night with temperatures dropping to single figuresjust take temperatures dropping to single figures just take us into the of the

weekend. the card you can see across southern counties of england and wales to begin with me just produce the odd shower tomorrow morning but overall a largely dry day here sunny spells developing widely we will see more cloud at times in scotland and northern ireland earning a couple of showers and then later in the days and longer spells of rain and to the west of scotland, the breeze picks up west of scotland, the breeze picks up again and the damages are similar to today. through saturday night and sunday, a lot of heavy rain in scotland, risk of minor flooding to ta ke scotland, risk of minor flooding to take this into sunday and that rain will linger across northern parts of scotla nd will linger across northern parts of scotland as we go through sunday but i'm really, from southern northern ireland southwards, increasing sunshine and temperatures on the rise more widely into the 20s by sunday afternoon, starting to warm up sunday afternoon, starting to warm up by sunday afternoon, starting to warm up by the time we hit monday the southerly wind cabbages will shoot up. a feel of summer in the air as we go into the start of next week, particularly for england and wales. could be hires on monday of 28 degrees in the south—east corner, could be close to 30 degrees and while not as warm in scotland and northern ireland you will still see temperatures reach into the 20s. that is how your weather is looking

for the next few days. and i will hand you back now to naga and charlie. it is a stunning location we have enjoyed being with you throughout the morning. from next week you may see covid—secure marshals on the streets of england. they're being recruited to help enforce the government's stricter rules on social gatherings. they'll have no formal powers and will be paid for by local authorities. our home affairs correspondentjune kelly has be finding out how the new role will work. street marshals at work in cornwall over the summer. the prime minister has spoken of having covid secure marshals all over england. what will they do and who will pay for them? this is what borisjohnson said yesterday. we will boost the enforcement capacity of local authorities by introducing covid secure marshals to help ensure social distancing in town and city centres. today we got more details

of the plan. there will be no extra money from government. marshals will have to be funded by local councils from existing budgets. but if a council can't afford them doesn't think they are a good idea there will not any in their area. over the last six months during the covid—19 crisis we have seen boris jump last six months during the covid—19 crisis we have seen borisjump make announcements from the podium at number 10 announcements from the podium at number10 and announcements from the podium at number 10 and then within days grow back and wash his hands have responsibility for delivering projects schemes on the ground. if boris is going to make announcements that require councils to deliver something then they have got to give us the resources in order to be able to do that. leeds introduced a marshals scheme when lockdown restrictions were eased. the government says so restrictions were eased. the government says so far marshals have had responsibilities including directing pedestrians, cleaning touch points like buttons at road crossings and preventing mixing between groups. preventing mixing, but they will have no enforcement

powers. they will have to call in the police. since lockdown was lifted, offices around the country have had to deal with illegal gatherings and people flouting the rules. and today one police leader predicted that some rule breakers would simply ignore the marshals who are armed only with the power of persuasion. it will be interesting to see how that pans out, won't it? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. bbc london has discovered fake drivers' licences are being advertised for sale on social media. one of the sellers claimed he could ‘cheat the system' because he had people working for him in driving test centres. the safety body — the dvsa — says they‘re aware of the claims— but they've found no evidence of criminal activity by test centre staff. traders at the uk's largest flower market — new covent garden —

say some may struggle to survive without help from their landlord. they're calling for a reduction in rent and service charges of up to 50%, saying business has been hit during the pandemic. we have been tenancies since 1974, part of the market since 1910 and i think it is appropriate for our landlord to give us more support during this time. a minimum of 50% i would think, a minimum of what they should offer us. absolute minimum 50% rent and rates. because look at it. well, the covent garden market authority says struggling businesses should speak to them and it's already offered help to defer rent and a reduction to the service charge. this gladstone park in north—west london — named after former prime minister william gladstone — could be renamed, due to his association with the slave trade. brent council has announced a review and suggested school children might like to suggest a new name. across london, statues, buildings and street names linked to slavery across the

capital to be replaced. the young vic theatre in south london is celebrating its fiftieth birthday. it opened in waterloo in 1970 and helped launch the careers of many well known actors. although productions are currently postponed, they plan to celebrate the work of performers and back stage staff and volunteers in a video installation, projected onto the building. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it's all looking good on the tube so far — no reported problems — only the waterloo and city line which continues to be closed. the m25 is slow clockwise with roadworks slowing things down. vauxhall bridge remains closed for roadworks — these are the queues on approach at 0val. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. like yesterday morning in the suburbs, a chilly start this morning but a dry one with good spells of sunshine. and with that sunshine continuing i think you will see temperatures lifting nicely like yesterday a bit of cloud

around and particularly into this afternoon we will start to see cloud filtering through, a bit of a noticeable breeze from the south—west but in the best of the sunshine, temperatures in the low 20s celsius. through the night tonight there is a bit more on the way of cloud towards us from the north and a weak cold front could patchy rain into tomorrow morning but it should be largely clear by first light. it means it is not quite as chilly a start tomorrow morning and then the day itself, a lot of fine weather and good spells of sunshine but these temperatures are the story of the coming days, increasing warmth well above average for the time of year for monday and tuesday, knocking on the door of 30 degrees. more from me in around half an hour. do take a look at our facebook and instagram for more of our stories from london.

good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: more regions in england face extra measures to fight spiralling coronavirus cases. wales joins scotland and england by restricting social gatherings to six people, but only indoors. back down or face legal action. that's the warning from the eu after the uk plans a law which could breach the brexit withdrawal agreement. good morning. as the economy on the mend in next few minutes? we will get the latest official figures. more or less got back to work, still

ongoing fears forjobs. i will have the details. in sport, a shock for serena, in the us open semifinals. her dream of a record equalling 24th grand slam, is shattered by the, in form victoria azarenka who nearly gave up tennis a year ago. it's friday the 11th of september. our top story. parts of the uk are waiting to find out if they'll face extra measures because of a concerning rise in coronavirus cases. in the last half—hour, the first minister, mark drake third has confirmed indoor gatherings of more than six people will be banned. let's speak to tomos morgan. there are changes in what people have to do in wales. tell us more. so up

until now, the welsh government have said the science wasn't therefore facemasks and they said inside public spaces like shops, the two metres rule remained in place, it still remains in place and that was the main deterrent for the spread of coronavirus. facemasks were only recommended to be used in schools for children and anybody over the age of 11 and on public transport but just now, we've age of 11 and on public transport butjust now, we've heard from the first minister that he will make a change to that rule and they will become mandatory in public spaces from monday. today, for the first time, we will go to a point, where 20 people, 100,000 in wales, are suffering from coronavirus. that's the threshold we use for people to have to quarantine, coming back into the uk, having reached that the shoulder, today we will be making use of these coverings mandatory in shops and enclosed public spaces. but if the figure falls in the

future and the viruses effectively suppressed below the 20 threshold, once again we will be able to revisit that advice. up until now, people from four different households, there is no limit from the number, but from monday, that number will bring into line the rest of the uk, and i think decision between that, for that, there is a recognition there has been some confusion over the different decisions and devolved nations, there is an attempt to try and make things easierfor the there is an attempt to try and make things easier for the public. there is an attempt to try and make things easierfor the public. the other thing to mention in wales, in this area, pontypridd, neighbouring merthyr tydfil, are at risk unless measures are put in place.

parts of england are waiting to find out if they'll face extra measures because of a concerning rise in coronavirus cases. newcastle and gateshead councils have already confirmed they will be added to a so—called watchlist which will be published by public health england today. areas on the "enhanced support" list will be given additional resources by the government, including greater levels of testing. the european union is demanding the uk government ditches plans to change borisjohnson's brexit deal or risk jeopardising trade talks. northern ireland secretary brandon lewis admitted on wednesday that the internal market bill breaks international law in a "specific and limited way". 0ur political correspondent, jessica parker is in westminster for us this morning. jessica, is this a stalemate in the trade talks? where are we out, brinkmanship, stalemate? you pretty much summed it up stalemate? you pretty much summed it up there. there are those that suspect what downing street is trying to do with this piece of

legislation that could give ministers the powers to modify the withdrawal agreement, the divorce settle m e nt withdrawal agreement, the divorce settlement has been signed off, it's all part of a way of trying to make brussels. 0ver all part of a way of trying to make brussels. over the precipice, this is no deal and what it would look like we can't reach an agreement on trade. talks are actually now set to continue in brussels next week, perhaps some will see this as a vindication of uk's strategy. unless this issue is resolved about interpretations of the divorce settlement, the agreement on future trade, future cooperation will be extremely difficult and while that is all going on, here in westminster, there are some conservative mps would be unhappy about what the government is up to. amendments are said to be tabled to the legislation over the coming week. i think it's unlikely that those people necessarily have the

numbers to defeat the government at this stage but also unhappy are members of the house of lords, include lord michael howard, former conservative leader, spoken skating terms about the government was trying to do, suggesting basically that ministers being willing to break international law, in limited and specific way, could cause reputational damage when it was trying to put itself out there is a defender of the international ruse rules based order, if the government can get it out, it would face a strong resistance of the house of lords. the nationwide lockdown plunged the uk economy into recession. but since the reopening of shops and workplaces just how well is it recovering? later this morning we will get official figures that should give us a better idea. all lies in the city on the number

this morning. we are told the economy grew by six points since % injuly, the latest official figure. more of us were able to get back to workplaces. july of course, restau ra nts a nd bars workplaces. july of course, restaurants and bars are able to reopen. that follows a rise of a per centin reopen. that follows a rise of a per cent in the month before injune. it's just the recovery continues after those pretty sharp falls. the economy shrank by 22% over the course of the lockdown. it means the economy is 12% smaller now than it was before all of this began. therefore that means huge problems forjobs and for the wider economic show. the real concern in many of the businesses i've been speaking to over the past few months say they are not too worried about what is happening at the moment because they've got a lot of pent—up demand,

a lot of business they weren't able to fulfil during the lockdown, they are now working on, they brought back some of the staff to do that stop if you look at the number of staff it was still on furlough, you look at the concerns about what could happen to the economy next, you could start to see this gets a bit worse before it gets better. a lot of businesses worried about the start of next where you are. there is still no return to anything like normality so there are calls for the government to extend these jobs, retention schemes, also because for more help the businesses that i really still struggling in the way of lot. remember businesses like travel and tourism, still unable to operate. there are calls for extra help for those sectors of the economy but i still struggling and it's likely we will see the jobs picture get worse before it gets better stop i will have more from you live in the city later. ben will

be with us more later. more than half a million people in the us state of oregon have been ordered to evacuate because of wildfires. dozens of infernos are sweeping across the state, and at least one is being treated as suspected arson. thousands of square miles of land have been burned, hundreds of homes have been destroyed and at least three people have died. dame diana rigg's james bond co—star has paid an emotional tribute to her following her death at the age of 82. george lazenby, who played 007 in on her majesty's secret service, tweeted that rigg "raised" his acting game on set. she played bond's wife — tracy. lazenby said that he wept when he lost her character in the film, and was weeping again after hearing of her death. the time is coming up to ten minutes past seven. it's time to get an update on the weather. matt has the weather from chartwell, the former home of sir winston churchill. morning, matt. we been talking about tea, we hope

you've had a cuppa. i've been well looked after, a nice cup of coffee in my hands. not very chilly here this morning but lovely surroundings. reopen to the public on monday, lots of new items. you learn a lot of interesting stuff about winston churchill you may not have known that i will look around later this morning but you see why i fell in love with a place with use like this. across the rest of the uk, it's not all the same. the forecast across scotland and northern ireland is one of wet and windy weather said to pushing off the atlantic. that could bring over the next few days across scotland, a few problems with some flooding, particularly later this weekend. this morning across much of england and wales, dry start, reasonably right with some sunshine breaking through. plenty of cloud, coming in off the atlantic

through the night and it's that which is going to produce the wettest a nd which is going to produce the wettest and windiest weather across scotland, especially through this morning, spreading south as we go through the morning, accompanied by strong to gale force winds. but biting up later with the next shower. parts of northern england, north wales will turn wetter this afternoon, the rest of england and wales looking largely dry. temperatures up around 20 degrees compared to just those lower teens. rain eventually compared to just those lower teens. ra i n eventually shifts compared to just those lower teens. rain eventually shifts away. pushing its way to the south. it starts to fizzle out, not much rain over the midlands and south—west as we learned into tomorrow. keeping temperatures up. a fresh start across the north. scotland, northern ireland pushing it through the day. temperatures similar to friday. more details on the red of the rest of the weekend.

"don't kill your gran by catching coronavirus." that's the warning from the health secretary for young people. infection rates among people under 30 have shot up in the past few weeks — but are they really to blame for the government's decision to impose stricter rules on who we can meet? breakfast‘s tim muffett has been speaking to people in nottingham to see how they feel about the changes. nottingham city centre, thursday night. the build—up, it seems, to a big weekend. it's our last chance for us all to get out as a whole massive group and do what we want while we've still got a limited freedom. we are taking it seriously but we are like in trying to live life at the same time. recent figures show that a third of new covid cases in england were amongst those in their 20s. some have accused young people of not taking social distancing seriously.”

accused young people of not taking social distancing seriously. i feel like we are the easiest people to blame ina like we are the easiest people to blame in a situation like this, like, i don't think anyone wants to ta ke like, i don't think anyone wants to take responsibility but it's easy to blame young people. right from the start of this, it was a lot of older people shopping and going out when they shouldn't have been and i think we're just the blame unnecessarily. do you think some young people aren't taking it seriously? because, some are going to parties. it'sjust not young people that are doing it. it is everyone doing that. let's just rule breakers. monday, gatherings of more than six will be banned in england and scotland although in scotland, those aged under 12 will be exempt. leila, lucy and chloe find the timing order. what's the point in the restrictions coming in on monday if they are urgent, why aren't they coming in right now, why are they waiting till monday, let's just right now, why are they waiting till monday, let'sjust going right now, why are they waiting till monday, let's just going to encourage people to go out this weekend. it's so hard to know what you're supposed to be able to do and what not. i think it's so unfair they've made this rule, telling us

to go to uni, pay full fees that they are telling us we can't go out in bigger groups even when we live in houses. in nottingham, you have houses up to 12. be honest, it is the, because, at the end of the day, it's what the government thinks is best for us and if they think, no matter what we think, we got to abide by it, haven't we? in a week's time from friday 18 september rules will be toughened from pubs, part bars, cafe ‘s and other premises. there will have to keep contact details for all customers from 21 days or face details for all customers from 21 days orface a details for all customers from 21 days or face a possible fine. penny ru ns days or face a possible fine. penny runs the third and tall pub. she will comply with the new rules but still has questions. we will take people's details, we cannot guarantee those details are 100% anyway. all we can do is love what we've got. is that true? are we going to get find? i don't know. no perspex screens. groups of six will be managed in the most

straightforward way. we can see them, make sure they behave themselves, and if not, who knows. earlier in the evening we met by friends stick to the rules but there are rising cases of covid will see more blame directed young people.” think we are a scapegoat, especially with the incentive, it's encouraging people to go outside and boost the economy but we do it, the fingers pointed back at us. looking at the older generation and we need to look at ita older generation and we need to look at it a bit more and who is actually better than they fell ill. and then turn around, saying you are going out too much and you are doing this in doing that and breaking rules. i don't think it's very dull. ahead of new restrictions, this weekend will be different to many. no—one is sure what lies ahead. we're joined now by 24—year—old maddy sinclair, who's the manager of a pub in cirencester, and chelsea buswell. she's 22 and provides

counselling to young people. i'd like to talk to you first if i may. you have an importantjob, you are pub manager and part of your responsibilities making sure people are sticking to the rules stop come monday, these six rules, you're also relatively young person in a responsiblejob. so foryou, relatively young person in a responsiblejob. so for you, what are the challenges right now that lie ahead, specifically towards younger people? i think it's quite difficult, personally i welcome the new law coming in. it's been the best thing to do. we've been following it is a company. it's been ha rd to enforce following it is a company. it's been hard to enforce when people can have a table of 12. so now that it's law and it's going to be uniform across august, it's probably going to be a

little bit easier for august, it's probably going to be a little bit easierfor us. august, it's probably going to be a little bit easier for us. with you looking at i'm sure, very lovely. young people are behaving differently. are you seeing that?” think there is a massive difference in the cases of coronavirus in young people versus the older generations at the moment. what you have to remember is, i'm 24. none of my friends would be able to work from home? i look at my parents and about 7596 home? i look at my parents and about 75% of their friends can do their jobs at home. my friends will have to get public transport. younger people living in houses with multiple occupancy. all people tend to have their own homes. i think there are a lot more cases in younger people there are many reasons for that.

this that was well laid out in terms of logistics. chelsea, tell us about why it is so important as well. maddy laid out the logistical issues in terms of travel but why it is so important that people your age, you are 22, do still socialise, when possible, within the rules. obviously socialising is such an important part of everyone's lives, notjust important part of everyone's lives, not just young people important part of everyone's lives, notjust young people but important part of everyone's lives, not just young people but for young people, you know, socialising and friendships are the biggest source of support. so without that it is going to have an impact on mental health but, you know, they can still do it within the rules and actually with all of the easing of restrictions, being back in higher education, we are able to socialise than we ever have through lockdown so than we ever have through lockdown so it is important to remember what we do have compared to what we have missed out on. do you think younger people or people in your age group are more resilient when it comes to

changes or need more help because these changes, as you say, everyone likes to socialise but perhaps these changes have felt more significant because of the way socialise have changed? i think it is important to remember that young people are resilient to change and while we have all had to adjust to change over the last few months, everything is constantly changing and our world is constantly changing and our world is changing that young people are resilient and we often forget that and we probably do not give ourselves enough credit for it. however, people are struggling at the same time so they are resilient and can adjust and if they struggle there is support out there should they need it. maddy, tell me. when you are in yourjob or even when you are out socialising, if you see people in your peer group not abiding by the rules, what are the attitudes in terms of how you communicate to each other about, look, you have to stick to this

because if you don't it will get tougher? in my job it is very easy tougher? in my job it is very easy to walk over and have that conversation and explain the rules are there for a reason and the more we follow them the better we stick to them as a business and as individuals and social groups, the quicker we will be out of all of this. i thinkjust gently reminding people that we are living through a global pen damage and yes it is inconvenient and constraining but no—one saw this coming and you have to adjust your behaviour. chelsea, i notice in the report we ran, i don't know if you herded that we heard a lot of voices from young people and a young lady asked a question about if it is an urgent thing to do, to get people to change behaviour, why do we wait for this weekend and bring it in on monday? i don't know if you hear that among people of your age thinking, you know what? we have a weekend when we can still

have a weekend when we can still have 30 people, in england, for example, and you will take advantage of that time, precisely at the moment when we shouldn't be doing that. this is not necessarily age—specific, this is about people more generally. i think it does seem confusing, sometimes, when the rules are not coming in until a few days later or a week later that i guess there is thinking behind that for preparation and, as i am sure businesses need to be prepared for it. it may give incentive to people to go out and have one last low out but on the whole i think most people do follow it and it is the minority who do not. so we might not have heard in my friendship group that we should go out for a last blowout because we understand it is important. great to talk to you both. chelsea, a youth counsellor

from northampton and maddy, a pub managerfrom from northampton and maddy, a pub manager from cirencester. both from northampton and maddy, a pub managerfrom cirencester. both of you, take care. how interesting. i'm in danger of sounding patronising but wise words there. maddy was talking about, just laying out the reality of young people's lives in the way they lead their lives and the way they lead their lives and the impact that may be having. but the impact that may be having. but the statistics do show, you know, that there is a certain age group of 17-21 in that there is a certain age group of 17—21 in particular web cases are rising. there have been more changes to quarantine rules, as travellers returning to england and northern ireland from mainland portugal will now have to self—isolate for 14 days from early saturday morning. wales and scotland had already imposed the mandatory two weeks of quarantine for portugal earlier this month. the new rules also apply to travellers from hungary, who will also be required to self—isolate from 4am on saturday. but sweden has been made exempt from quarantine for wales, england, scotland

and northern ireland. we're joined now by travel journalist pippa jacks. good morning to you. of the ones we just mentioned, portugal will be the most significant in terms of numbers about how many british people are there right now. what is the picture you campaign for there right now. what is the picture you campaignfor us? there right now. what is the picture you campaign for us? portugal is a lwa ys you campaign for us? portugal is always very popular summer destination and as soon as it was made ok to travel there a few weeks ago, the numbers really swarmed in and we saw tour operator switch capacity to portugal from countries they have been unable to operate to. there were many people in portugal andi there were many people in portugal and i hope that they travelled with this at the back of their mind because it is only a few weeks since they were allowed to go and it is sad to see it taken off the safe list so quickly. how does this, what does this mean in relation to travel insurance? the fco was advising

against all but essential travel to portugal now which is the trigger for a tour operator to give a full refund. so if you have backed —— booked a package holiday should possible to get your money back but if you book your flight and hotel separately than the airline might still operate the flight and the hotel is bound to give your money back so you need to get into touch with your travel company and see what flexibility there is but you will not be entitled to a refund. what flexibility there is but you will not be entitled to a refundm is complicated. at the beginning you mentioned that anyone who went to portugal over the last week or so, the past two weeks, the signs were there, won't they? it was an awkward time in some respects for people trying to make that decision. the numbers were coming down and so it was put on the safe list which was good news but it was still quite borderline and i think so many people are still desperate to get away and in some cases were not due away and in some cases were not due a refund so it was either take it or

lose the money depending on how they booked it. so, you know, anyone still there now probably has not got kids going back to school, schools have started going back already so we hope that they would be able to quote with quarantine. i've seen people happy to sell quarantine if it means they can get a break in the sunshine so if it is not a disaster for everyone but certainly a huge inconvenience for many full i know we do still have a situation and it has been almost painted like one of those jokes, you have has been almost painted like one of thosejokes, you have a person from scotland, a person from wales and a person from england arriving back to the uk and they all have to abide by different restrictions. is that still the case in relation to these latest announcements? the portugal news now brings the nations of the uk into alignment at least so that isa uk into alignment at least so that is a bit more consistency in that sense but there are still other destinations that nations are not aligned on islands in greece are on

different list between wales and england. it is a complicated picture and very difficult for holidaymakers to understand, the travel industry to understand, the travel industry to respond to and i think it is underlining, again and again this 14 day quarantine period is not a workable solution and we desperately need airport testing on arrival to try and reduce the quarantine period that people face if they do get back from a country with a high risk. the 14 day quarantine, the divide in the uk into different nations with different rules is not working, it has dented consumer confidence badly and we write about travel companies failing every day now because they just do not have enough consumers confident enough to book in for future travel. do you have any plans? i am having a baby in a few weeks so i will not be flying anywhere. i would weeks so i will not be flying anywhere. iwould booked weeks so i will not be flying anywhere. i would booked to travel within the next few months but i would book a package so i know i have financial protection if i need

a refund and tour operators will tend to align with the fco advice about changes and you can get your money back. it is not a time to book flights separately, you need to get professional travel advice from travel experts and travel agents to make sure that your booking is right for you and you have flexibility in your plans as well. you will be busy doing other things by the sounds of it over the next few months so good luck with that. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. bbc london has discovered fake drivers' licences are being advertised for sale on social media. one of the sellers claimed he could ‘cheat the system‘ because he had people working for him in driving test centres. the safety body — the dvsa — says they‘re aware of the claims— but they‘ve found no evidence of criminal activity by test centre

staff. traders at the uk‘s largest flower market— new covent garden— say some may struggle to survive without more help from their landlord. they‘re calling for a reduction in rent and service charges of up to 50% — saying business has been hit during the pandemic. we have been tenants here since 1974, part of the market since 1910 and i think it is appropriate for our landlord to give us more support during this time. a minimum of 50% i would think, a minimum of what they should offer us. absolute minimum 50% rent and rates. because look at it. well, the covent garden market authority says struggling businesses should speak to them and they‘ve already offered help to defer rent and a reduction to the service charge. gladstone park in north—west london named after former prime minister william gladstone could be renamed due to his association with the slave trade. brent council has announced a review — and suggested local school

children might like to suggest a new name. the young vic theatre in south london is celebrating its fiftieth birthday. it opened in waterloo in 1970 and helped launch the careers of many well known actors. productions are currently postponed but they plan to celebrate the work of performers and back stage crew in a video installation, projected onto the building. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. it‘s all looking good on the tube so far— no reported problems— only the waterloo and city line which continues to be closed. southern railway do have delays after a signalfailure. good morning to you. like yesterday morning in the suburbs, a chilly start this morning but a dry one with good spells of sunshine. and with that sunshine continuing i think

you will see temperatures lifting nicely like yesterday a bit of cloud around and particularly into this afternoon we will start to see cloud filtering through, a bit of a noticeable breeze from the south—west but in the best of the sunshine, temperatures in the low 20s celsius. through the night tonight there is a bit more on the way of cloud towards us from the north and a weak cold front could bring patchy rain into tomorrow morning but it should be largely clear by first light. it means it is not quite as chilly a start tomorrow morning and then the day itself, a lot of fine weather and good spells of sunshine but these temperatures are the story of the coming days, increasing warmth well above average for the time of year for monday and tuesday, knocking on the door of 30 degrees. more from me in around half an hour. do take a look at our facebook and instagram for more of our stories from london.

stretch hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the latest gdp figures out this morning show that the uk economy grew by 6.6% injuly as lockdown measures continued to ease. let‘s speak to business minister nadhim zahawi. he‘s in westminster this morning. apologies for stumbling over your name. thank you forjoining us this morning. the economy has grown in terms of monthly, it‘s 12% smaller than when the crisis struck. good morning. is good news that we've seen morning. is good news that we've seen this 6.6% growth in the month ofjuly. there seen this 6.6% growth in the month of july. there is seen this 6.6% growth in the month ofjuly. there is still more to go. i‘m the business and industry ministers will look after sectors from steel, which is one of our foundation industries, to life

sciences and the professional business service sector. it is good news but i think there is more to 90, news but i think there is more to go, in particular set is like hospitality, with the bounceback loa ns hospitality, with the bounceback loans and other loans. the one thing to remember, to get the economy back on its feet, we need to make sure we follow the rules of hands, face and of course the space. in the rule of monday because the way we get the economy back on its feet is if we can get people back into work in those while working, to take on even more, the way you do that is by controlling the virus. there is the alliance for full ——be aligns with full employment led by the welsh first minister mark drakeford, and several mayors. there is also the former prime minister gordon brown joining other labour politicians,

the fight for economic recovery policies to prevent job the fight for economic recovery policies to preventjob losses are now calling for an extension to the furlough scheme. this is something you would have heard from before. the core international institutions to focus onjob the core international institutions to focus on job creation. what do you make of the proposals? are there any proposals like those you can ta ke any proposals like those you can take on board to help the economy bounceback? the chancellor quite rightly listened to business and extended the scheme out to october. we stayed close to the set is, every sector of the economy from automotive to aerospace to the professional and business services. we listen very carefully. the interventions we made to put our arms around the economy. what you are asking now is what we are going to do. the chancellor in the

financial statement, another £33 billion to protectjobs that kickstart scheme which is already beginning to bearfruit. dozens kickstart scheme which is already beginning to bear fruit. dozens of young people, 17—25. we are looking at the skills agenda. we will listen to every group. most importantly, we listen to businesses themselves, the sectors, what we are telling us. i‘m the business and industry minister with the chancellor and the treasury ministers to make sure the recovery is as robust as we can make it. we are seeing good things happen, the most important thing is to continue to control the virus. i want to talk to control the virus. i want to talk to you specifically about this.

we‘ve spoken a lot about controlling the virus. you talk to various industries. any industries said we don‘t need furlough extended for us? a number of industries said that they want different types of intervention. into supporting that industry and the bank of england scheme, bringing forward some of the research and development support, we given specific help to the hospitality sector with obviously a vat cutter to 5%, with the help out scheme in august and eating out and we looked at specific set is, but there is no point us actually effectively having people in suspended animation, with

a false sense you can continue on furlough. add in an item. the best way to help people is to make sure we control the virus. to be honest, when you say suspended animation, it‘s not as people on furlough i sitting at home really pleased they can‘t go to work and do theirjobs. they‘re not sitting there enjoying the fact they are suspended animation. they need this money for support, because the jobs aren‘t there, people can‘t get back into work. first of all, we are seeing more and more people coming back to work. there is only about 12% of people now furlough from 25% at the height of the pandemic. that is half. that is half of 25%. so still half. that is half of 25%. so still half of those were on furlough. i'm not disagreeing with you and i think the furlough scheme extension was absolutely the right thing, the

chancellor has gone further to say those companies, but key people on to the end of january of next year will get an additional bonus of £1000 per employee if they work with that employee and keep them in the business. we are seeing businesses come back, the figures today, there isa come back, the figures today, there is a real recovery in the economy, 6.6% growth last month. we need to make sure that continues in the way you do that is to make sure you work with the set is to make sure we do everything we can to bring those businesses back to profitability. with those extra measures you put in place, tell me, what is the estimation you have redundancies by the end of dover? well, we look at what is happening in terms of redundancies and in terms of the economy. there are figures in terms of where unemployment will be, around 6.5%. the focus has to be on

getting people back to work but also those who have lost theirjobs and those who have lost theirjobs and those who have lost theirjobs and those who are struggling like the younger cohort, the 17—25 age, specific schemes, the kickstart a scheme, subsidise taking on the young person who is currently unemployed. those are the type of schemes that will deliverjobs, as well as investment in the green recovery, to invest in infrastructure, physical infrastructure. the energy white paper that will set out our roadmap, zero producing thejobs paper that will set out our roadmap, zero producing the jobs of the future. myjob is to make sure we create the jobs, and the skill sets for people that match those jobs and work with the department of education on apprenticeships, the department for work and pensions to

make sure we help those people and train them and up skill them to get those jobs. minister, may i talk to about brexit? we‘ve seen with the new internal markets spill, in order to rewrite parts of the withdrawal agreement, it was signed injanuary. why is it trying to change the deal? we‘re not trying to rewrite parts of withdrawal agreement. we‘ve already made the investment, and i give you an example of that, insanitary, infrastructure in northern ireland. that is the right thing to do. if we implement the withdrawal agreement. it's implement the withdrawal agreement. it‘s how we implemented. the withdrawal agreement, which we are

absolutely engaged in. the ambiguities that were in the withdrawal agreement around the northern irish protocol. this bill that would be debated, i look forward to making the argument in parliament as to why we need these measures. to make sure that we don‘t reach an agreement by the end of the year, thejoint reach an agreement by the end of the year, the joint committee doesn‘t reach that agreement, we can‘t allow any adverse impacts on the communities in northern ireland. no government, no minister can allow any community within our country, within the united kingdom to be damaged or adversely impacted. so what we‘re doing is looking given the chance, there is no agreement, in thejoint the chance, there is no agreement, in the joint committee, those don‘t happen, and we can apply some of those divisions that we don‘t harm

the peace process. it's interesting that you are quite resolute that the uk government is not doing anything wrong. former party leader michael howard, how can we approach russia or china when we are showing such a scant regard for our treaty obligations. the government is in a terrible mess and a whole identity is easy to justify. even a staunch brexit supporter, bernard jenkin, says it is very surprising. nancy pelosi from the united states, saying, what were they thinking? there is a real danger of damage to the uk‘s reputation, isn‘t it a trust issue? why should people believe we would keep our word? why is anyone going to believe we keep our word? is anyone going to believe we keep ourword? in is anyone going to believe we keep our word? in the words of brandon lewis, brandon lewis said think it is slightly correct. we are going to

against a treaty on a specific and limited way. we are going against the treaty. let me be very clear. we are actually committed to the withdrawal agreement in the northern irish protocol. as ijust mentioned, we are already investing in the infrastructure in northern ireland to make sure we deliver. it‘s not a question of if we deliver on the withdrawal agreement in the northern irish protocol, it‘s how we deliver on that. the agreement itself envisaged for this committee which we are totally committed to, i look forward to making the arguments in parliament next week. to demonstrate to michael howard and norman lamont, while we are taking this. if we end up while we are taking this. if we end up in the case of no agreement because we cannot allow any community in our country to be adversely impacted in any way. that

would be completely wrong. whether it be the german parliament going against the european central bank, on the basis of its unconstitutional under germany‘s constitution or the canadian government multiplying some international treaties to domestic law, that is already a precedent. let mejust finish law, that is already a precedent. let me just finish this point. it‘s not something you want to do. we are committed to the negotiations on the joint committee, the negotiations carry on and we are confident in the eu negotiations by the 15th of october, if both sides respect each other‘s sovereignty and understand where we are coming from when it comes to what we are asking, which is no more than a can of the deal or australia type deal, we can‘t get that, we‘ll be in a place we don‘t need to do supply any of these

provisions but if there is a situation where, the end of this year, there are impacts from the withdrawal agreement, that would impact the community of northern ireland or harm them in any way, no minister i think should actually stand by and watch those communities... there is a threat of no deal. the eu is threatening legal action, there is a threat of no deal. how hard is that going to impact the economy? we've already done the deal. we‘ve got a deal. we left the european union with a deal. this is about the future relationship with the european union. iam relationship with the european union. i am confident that those sides can get a deal. there will be bumps in the road, clearly still as you heard from david frost yesterday, there are gaps between the two sides on fishing and of course on issues around level playing fields but i think were

trying to get a deal on the 15th of october. if we can‘t get a deal like canada,... youjust october. if we can‘t get a deal like canada,... you just told october. if we can‘t get a deal like canada,... youjust told me october. if we can‘t get a deal like canada,... you just told me you had a deal but now you are negotiating. negotiating the future relationship. we‘ve done a deal of the european union. we are negotiating the future relationship of the eu as to independent sovereigns, which is the right way to go about it so this idea that there is no deal, we‘ve already done a deal. it is worth mentioning that we will speak to the former chancellor for the prime minister later in the programme. right now, let‘s head outside. matt‘s at chartwell, one of winston churchill‘s former homes. and he has transformed. much cuter there. cat what works for me. and a

little bowl of milk there! where is the cat? i must explain, this is jock. jock seven. churchill loved nature and of animals and the family stipulated when they handed chadwell house over to the national trust that there must always be a marmalade cat on site with four white socks and a white tube. this is the seventh such cat to be here at the house. good morning to you. a little nervous at the moment, a bit camera shy but glorious surroundings. the national trust have added hundreds of brand—new items to the house. for a glimpse into the life of churchill here at chadwell. it reopens to the public again on monday and i will show you around just before 845. looking at the forecast for today because it is a case of a nice enough down here at

the moment with a dry start, a little brightness around but if you are scotland and northern ireland today, get ready for some very wet weather indeed. wet and windy, particularly this morning although it will brighten up into the afternoon. we will see the cloud coming off the atlantic bringing in rain through this morning and into northern ireland as well for a time so northern ireland as well for a time soa northern ireland as well for a time so a heavy burst in the wind will pick up, 40 may be 50 an hour during the second half of the morning before easing into the afternoon with some sunshine around as well. away from that, wales starts dry, north—west england and parts of wales will turn wetter as we go into the afternoon. temperatures at best towards the south around 20 degrees, a cool day with specially with when further north in temperatures around 12, 13 degrees. through the evening and overnight rain across north—west england and wales will work south but it will start to fizzle out as a go through. it means more cloud around across the southern half of

the country tonight, not quite as cool as it was last night. the northern half of the country with clear skies around on a chilly start to the weekend. into the weekend we go. we have a bright enough start for many with sunshine and the re m na nts of for many with sunshine and the remnants of that weak weather front across southern remnants of that weak weather front across southern areas may remnants of that weak weather front across southern areas mayjust produce the odd isolated shower but most produce the odd isolated shower but m ost pla ces produce the odd isolated shower but most places will be dry and brightening through the day. sunshine for other parts but will cloud over in scotland and northern ireland again, outbreaks of rain becoming extensive into the afternoon and across the west of scotla nd afternoon and across the west of scotland into saturday night a lot of rain around and we could see 100 millimetres of rain because minor flooding into sunday. further south it is dry and it warms up through the weekend and into the start of next week and that is how it looks. back now to the studio. what is the full name of the cat ain? what is the full name of the cat again? jock vii. there he is. he is gorgeous. keeping your family safe is a parent‘s highest priority. but a new survey from

the british red cross says a third of them wouldn‘t know what to do in a first aid emergency at home. that‘s why today, they‘re launching an app that teaches vital first aid skills injust one minute. let‘s speak to claire james — her two—year—old son william suffered serious burns when he spilt a hot cup of tea on himself. we‘re also joined by dafydd beech from the british red cross. good morning to you. claire, let‘s kick off. thank you for sharing your story with us and can you paint the picture for us? you were at home and then something goes wrong. i bet you can talk and do stuff at the same time because you are a mum. what happened was to mark we were all just milling around the kitchen as usual, monday morning and making brea kfast, usual, monday morning and making breakfast, making tea, just hanging around in the kitchen essentially andi

around in the kitchen essentially and i made my tea, i turned around to the fridge to put the milk in the fridge and in that, no exaggeration, that was all the time it took for william to reach over and grab a cup of tea that spilt over this shoulder and down this arm. what happened next? i froze immediately. i went into shock. i knew that i needed to get him under cool water but other than that i realised i didn't know what i needed to do. thankfully my husband was there at the time, he works for southern water and he has regular formal first aid training so he knew what needed to be done but i was stressed, to be honest. my hills and safety head... who is behind you! is that bad? that is damp who knows the first aid. he stepped into help. once again he has done the

right thing. has it made you much more mindful? have you learnt anything? have you taken classes? enormously. unfortunately i have been unable to get into a formal course because of lockdown, which is quite frustrating, but i had done a huge amount of reading and familiarising myself with basic first aid and actually, you know, the british red cross was absolutely fantastic. as a result i really must encourage and want to encourage parents to take the time to even just learn the basics for when accidents happen with their kids because they do. kids are adventurous and they get into things and, you know, they hurt themselves. and we can't stop that is parents. we cannot have eyes on them all the time. but what we can do is make sure we know what to do if something does go wrong. so as a result ijust

tell everybody who has kids to do a first aid course. it is not the first aid course. it is not the first thing you think of because you are busy anyway. this is why it is important, this new app but we saw with claire how busy life can be with claire how busy life can be with a toddler. what is in a minute that you can learn? first and foremast, well done claire and husband for doing absolutely everything right to help little william. it is an anxious time when something happens in the house. at the moment in lockdown everyone is may be at home and having to juggle everything that is happening in the household with children, as a father myself i know how this feels every day. but there is a lot of different skills that people can learn in one minute and that is why we are encouraging people to download the free app that is available on google play and the apple app store. it is

easy to use and as claire mentioned it is very useful for people, so they can learn a simple quick skill quickly so they can help someone in an emergency. in the spirit of being quick. what can you show us in 15 seconds with dummy you have they? this is annie. if she was tracking now i would just hold her like this, i would use the palm of my hand and i would use the palm of my hand and i would strike her quite hard in the centre of the back in between the shoulder blades, i would keep checking the mouth to see if whatever was in there has been dislodged and, hopefully, that will be enough to dislodge that piece of food from the child or person‘s throat and to stop them from choking. can we check that annie is 0k? is choking. can we check that annie is ok? is she ok? good. she is smiling so ok? is she ok? good. she is smiling so everything is ok. lovely to see you this morning and thank you so much. claire, well done. you got through another little trauma there

of being on national television with a two—year—old running away from and thanks to the husband as well. thank you. it‘s the biggest half marathon event in the uk, raising more than 25 million pounds every year. this weekend the great north run will take place — although the race will look very different. the event was cancelled because of the coronavirus, so now a virtual version will be taking place with 16 thousand people all over the world taking part. alison freeman reports. it was warm when i did it and quite hilly especially when you are in a robotic suit and pregnant. the combination of all the factors made it difficult. every year there are amazing stories of bravery and overcoming adversary and this journey is one that stands out. paralysed from the waist down, she completed the course in a robotic suit in 2016. but in the year the 40th race

was meant to be run, things are going to be a little different. download an app and when you run it measures your distances. and so many people have joined in and the support for seeing people run 13 miles wherever you are. claire‘s one of 16,000 people around the country and the world taking part in the virtual race. we spoke to a few of them to find out why. andy may win the prize for the most beautiful location for his great north run. the last 20 years i have been working and living here in colombia so i am in the andes, in the foothills of the andes. i thought running the great north run in colombia with headphones on and listening to geordies egging you on would be the maximum of strange so i went for it. gavin‘s reasons for taking part in southampton are a little

closer to home. a virtual great north run was a fantastic way for me to potentially motivate myself. i weighed nearly 21 stone, i struggled to walk a mile, let alone do anything else. covid—19 probably made the decision for me because of the health implications, because we were due to have a baby injune. and these stories of people motivated by if i double my target, the beard will disappear. it may not be the experience everyone had hoped for but they are going to give it their role. i will miss the crowds because there is nothing like actually being at the great north run makes me want to go back again. good luck for sunday. good luck, everyone. lovely stories.

let‘s speak now to the founder of the great north run, brendan foster. lovely to see you again. it has become something really special, hasn‘t it? become something really special, hasn't it? it has and this year has been a testing time for everyone, ourselves included. but we decided that we would reimagine how it would be this year because obviously we could not bring people to newcastle so we could not bring people to newcastle so we had to think of ideas to take the run to the people and that is why we came up with a virtual great north run. before that we had the great north run solo which encouraged people to run in the days leading up to the great north run and that is just been completed. we had 28,000 people completing over 800,000 runs and 2 million miles in preparation so at least we have been able to keep people active and that is our mission, initially. and now, finally, it is our mission to raise

money for some of the charities who are losing their income because of events like great north run not happening properly.” events like great north run not happening properly. i don't know how tech savvy you are personally but can you take us through... the basics if people still want to get involved, is that they can, is that right? the entries are now at their limit, unfortunately, we have 16,000 people from six continents, 57 countries and every postcode in the uk is represented. so all around the country there will be people out in the morning and they will download the morning and they will download the app and then they will hear the sights and sounds of the great north run. we have had fantastic support from personalities and athletes. we have mo farah and sebastian coe and antand have mo farah and sebastian coe and ant and deck welcoming people, sting and paula radcliffe. we have had a fantastic support from those people saying come on, keep going, the

great north run has to happen. and people can raise money for charities, smaller charities particularly the ones we are concerned about. so sunday morning all the place people will be out running, running 13.1 miles wherever they are including four people running up and down in nevis today. and what will you be doing?” running up and down in nevis today. and what will you be doing? i will be running down the north—east coast and running and walking, i am getting a bit old but running and walking right down the coast to dunston brick castle 13 miles away. it will take me a long time because i will stop for lunch but there is nobody watching so it will be ok. now i want to know what you are planning for lunch in the middle of a run. an egg sandwich. nice, nice. and that is from an olympic

medallist. an egg sandwich in the middle of a walk — run. it will be great fun and you have chosen a fantastic place to run. have a great day. good to see you this morning and thank you. put some chips in the 999 and thank you. put some chips in the egg sandwich... nice. good morning and welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: face coverings in shops and indoor public spaces are to become compulsory in wales for the first time. more regions in england face

extra measures to fight spiralling coronavirus cases. back down or face legal action. that‘s the warning from the eu after the uk plans a law which could breach the brexit withdrawal agreement. the uk economic recovery continues, growing by 6.6% injuly, but the economy still more than 10% smaller thanit economy still more than 10% smaller than it was before the pandemic. i will look at what it could mean for jobs and whether things could get worse before they get better.” jobs and whether things could get worse before they get better. i am at the national trust‘s chart house, once winston churchill‘s home. use of some wet for scotland and some summer of some wet for scotland and some summer warmth returning elsewhere. that‘s all here on breakfast. it‘s friday the 11th of september. our top story.

face coverings will be compulsory in shops and indoor public spaces in wales from monday for the first time. speaking to this programme, the first minister mark drakeford has also confirmed that indoor gatherings of more than six people will be banned. we can speak now to our wales correspondent tomos morgan. the minister when he spoke to him said many people are wearing face coverings already. where these changes largely expected ? coverings already. where these changes largely expected? in wales, what had happened before the announcement today, face coverings we re announcement today, face coverings were early recommended in schools for those over 11 when social distancing could not be maintained and only mandatory in public transport. what the welsh government has decided, has realised, is that there has been quite a bit of confusion amongst notjust the welsh public but the public across the uk, so public but the public across the uk, so in order to simplify things, they think this is the best approach, and an easier way of understanding and another way of mitigating risks. so,

from monday, only six people can meet up in any public space, but those six people have to be from within the extended household or bubble, so there has to be at least six people from four households. the other thing you mentioned was that from monday, masks will be compulsory indoors in all public spaces. today for the first time, we will go to a point where 20 people in100,000 in will go to a point where 20 people in 100,000 in wales are suffering from coronavirus. that is the threshold we use for people who have to quarantine coming back into the uk, and having reached that threshold we will be making the use of face coverings mandatory in shops and enclosed public spaces in wales. but, if the figure falls in the future, the virus is effectively suppressed below that threshold of 20, then once again we will be able

to revisit that advice. the welsh government have always said the number one reason for the virus spreading has been people from different households meeting up indoors, so this measure is put in place to mitigate that risk. the second—highest reason is people out and about drinking in public spaces, social public spaces, so, these measures are clearly put in place to reduce those risks and make sure that in future those numbers do come down in wales. tomos morgan in pontypridd, thank you. the uk economy grew by 6.6% injuly according to figures released this morning by the office for national statistics. ben‘s in the city for us this morning with the details. and the implications of this, it is coming ata and the implications of this, it is coming at a time, yes, there will be some improvement, comparing the economy do what it was before lockdown, it is still not so

healthy. it takes a bit of explaining, good morning to you both. we are live in the city of london where all eyes will be on those economic growth figures, and growth of 6.6% in normal times would be astonishing, but remember we are coming from a pretty low base, the economy shrank by 22% over the course of this pandemic, so it has got a lot of ground to make up. in june it rose by about 8% so injuly, the latest figures we have seen published say the economy grew by 6.6%. all news of the economy getting back on track but it is still 12% smaller than it was before all of this began. that has huge implications forjobs all of this began. that has huge implications for jobs and livelihoods. the government has been stepping in. it has had the furlough scheme, thatjob retention scheme to try to prop up some jobs, scheme, thatjob retention scheme to try to prop up somejobs, it has been paying grants to businesses to keep them ticking over, but there are concerns about what happens when that starts to be wound down, the

furlough scheme will be wound down by october. lots of the support that has been offered to business will be wound down towards the end of the year. so there are questions about what happens then and the start of next year. many of the businesses i‘ve spoken to said that they are not too worried about right now. we are in the midst of a recession, but they‘ve had a lot of pent—up demand and lots of orders they have not filled in the wake of the lockdown, so filled in the wake of the lockdown, so businesses are ok for now, but they are worried about when people have less money in their pockets and less money to go out and spend towards the end of the year, which is when they fear that we may view all of this. but the figures today suggest the economy is trying to repair itself, july is the month when bars and restaurants were able to reopen and more people could return to work places, so things picking up, the economy getting back on track, but we have still got about half of what it lost during a pandemic to gain back, before we get

back to any sort of normality as far as economic growth is concerned, so lots of work still to do even though the figures today look pretty robust. interesting that you were talking about the furlough scheme. we spoke to the business minister about whether there are plans to extend it. we will look at specific sectors and what help we can give those sectors. there is no point us actually effectively having people in suspended animation with a false sense that they can continue on furlough ad infinitum. the european union is demanding the uk government ditches plans to change borisjohnson‘s brexit deal or risk jeopardising trade talks. northern ireland secretary brandon lewis admitted on wednesday that the internal market bill breaks international law in a "specific and limited way". our political correspondent, jessica parker is in westminster for us this morning. talk us through what position the

two sites are in now. the eu are outraged that the move by boris johnson‘s government, but we know that michael gove has said that‘s not going to change, so where does that leave us? where are we now? there has been a big hooha this week about the government plan to modify the deal that was the divorce settle m e nt the deal that was the divorce settlement with the eu that was already signed and sealed and delivered. the eu is pretty outraged at this attempt to modify part of that agreement and they are basically saying that they could ta ke basically saying that they could take legal action if the government doesn‘t change its mind. the government, as you say, says it is not going to change its mind and will press ahead with the legislation in order to give ministers powers to do this. they think that it will help secure northern ireland‘s place in the union, protect the peace process as well, and they are pushing ahead with this legislation next week. we can expect some brexit votes going

forward , can expect some brexit votes going forward, but there are concerns amongst some in the conservative party. amendments set to go down by backbenchers who are worried about the reputation harm that they think this could do the uk, if the uk is seen this could do the uk, if the uk is seen to break an international agreement. what is perhaps more significant is, concerns have been raised in the house of lords. boris johnson has a pretty big majority in the commons, 80 strong, it will take a lot to overturn that what we have heard from people like lord howard, michael howard, the former conservative leader and support our brexit, speaking out against these plans, so it could make it tricky to get back legislation through the lords. overall, brexit talks on future trade are set to continue. the eu saying that there cannot be proper progress on future trade talks, unless this issue with what has been agreed in the past can be resolved. still lots to sort out, not a lot of time, and all of this happened over the last week, and has

made things a whole lot more complicated. jessica, thank you. more than half—a—million people in the us state of oregon have been ordered to evacuate from their homes because of wildfires. dozens of infernos are sweeping across the state, and at least one is being treated as suspected arson. thousands of square miles of land have been burned, hundreds of homes have been destroyed and at least three people have died. a government department has failed to keep staff safe from covid—19, according to an official inspection. the health and safety executive says it has seen poor social distancing and a lack of one—way systems at the department for work and pensions in leeds. the dwp says it‘s taken "urgent action" to deal with the problems. dame diana rigg‘s james bond co—star has paid an emotional tribute to her, following her death at the age of 82. george lazenby, who played 007 in on her majesty‘s secret service, tweeted that rigg "raised"

his acting game on set. she played bond‘s wife — tracy. lazenby said that he wept when he lost her character in the film, and was weeping again after hearing of her death. it is 11 minutes past eight. matt has the weather from a beautiful location, the former home of sir winston churchill. we will learn lots of new facts about this place later. we can see why you love this location and he loved kent overall because the house is stunning inside, realfamily home, but you get a view like this to look at. today the weather is near enough perfect. it is a calm start, warming up a little after a chilly start, but calmer than we will see across other parts of the country. the forecast today is one that will come with quite a bit of

rain across western scotland and northern ireland for a time this morning and really quite strong winds as well, touching maybe 50 mph, giving some gusts, before easing off later. this area of cloud is moving in off the atlantic through the night. the further south and east you are, the thinner it is, so and east you are, the thinner it is, soa and east you are, the thinner it is, so a better chance of some sunshine and sunshine will follow the rain this morning across parts of scotla nd this morning across parts of scotland and northern ireland, lingering across southern scotland towards the end of the afternoon then edging into north—west england and parts of the far north—west of wales. to the south, much of england and wales staying dry, little sunshine at times, temperatures similarto sunshine at times, temperatures similar to what we seeing yesterday, up similar to what we seeing yesterday, up to 20 degrees at the highest. a cool day, when you have got that cloud, wind and rain. this evening and overnight, rain across north—west england and wales pushing south across wales and the midlands, starting to fizzle out a little so by the end of the night, not much rain around but cloud across the south, not as cool as last night,

although more chilly further north with clear skies into the start of the weekend. saturday, one or two showers with that weather front across the south of england. that will break up. sunny spells will develop across much of england and wales. in scotland and northern ireland, cloud increasing later and later in western scotland we will see more persistent rain moving on, with a breeze picking up, and saturday night into sunday we could see 100 millimetres of rain across western scotland causing some minor flooding back for the rest of the weekend into next week, temperatures set to rise, a few of summer into the start of next week, too. thank you both. several cities with rising coronavirus cases will find out today what extra measures they face when the government publishes a watch list of places that need more support. newcastle and gateshead councils have already confirmed they will be on the list, but where else might be affected? graham satchell has

been finding out. the streets of bolton virtually deserted. it has the highest number of coronavirus cases in the uk and currently the tightest restrictions. council staff going door—to—door handing out testing kits and face coverings. nowhere in the uk is on full lockdown but there are now a growing number of places with local restrictions. this is caerphilly, the first town in wales to go back into partial lockdown. as with the rest of the uk, caerphilly has seen a spike of cases in younger people. we are more likely to go and see our friends, kind of break the rules if the option is there. but i mean, everyone has been going out. you can‘t point the finger at one demographic in particular. a lot of people need to look at their actions, not only young people. and people have forgotten i think what it's like and what damage it can do and how many people have lost their lives. so where are the current local restrictions? in england, they are largely concentrated in the north west,

around manchester, lancashire and west yorkshire. in scotland, dunbartonshire, renfrewshire and glasgow are affected. in wales, only caerphilly has mandatory restrictions. and in northern ireland, new rules are being introduced in ballymena and parts of belfast. but many other parts of the uk are on a so—called watchlist where cases are rising. they include major cities like birmingham and leeds. all these areas could see restrictions introduced. strict and today we‘ll find out if other parts of the uk will go on to the watch list, like merseyside, gateshead and west lothian in scotland. a maximum of six people from two households will now be permitted to meet together. scotland‘s first minister nicola sturgeon announcing scotland will follow england on monday with its own rule of six. it means only six people from two households can meet in or outdoors, although children under 12 are exempt. wales is also introducing a version of the rule of six which will apply to meetings indoors. we finish in leicester where some

restrictions have never been lifted. but finally, the number of cases is starting to go down here. this week, gyms and swimming pools open for the first time. while cases are rising again across the uk, the experience in leicester shows a concerted effort often at street level can help to control the virus. graham satchell, bbc news. in a moment we‘ll be speaking to the mayor of liverpooljoe anderson. but first we‘re joined by jason leitch who‘s the national clinical director for the scottish government. good morning to you, how are you? good morning to you, how are you? good morning, how are you? it is blowing a gale here. iam sure blowing a gale here. i am sure you will get some sunshine soon. can we talk about the new rule of six, this phrase we are getting used to. we were talking about how it

would apply in england. in scotland, children 12 and under are exempt, what is the scientific thinking behind that? not quite. let us go back to what we have actually decided. it is getting more complicated. the first question people need to ask is where do they live? which country are you in? the rules are slightly different. we have said six people indoors or outside but to households. our advice is the principal thing we are trying to prevent is the virus moving from household to household, tojump moving from household to household, to jump from person to person. moving from household to household, tojump from person to person. we have exempted children from the six but not from the two families. if you have large families you can still gather and the kids do not count in the six but you can still only have to households. it is

really restrictive. we completely understand but it is tough because we are in such a precarious position. what is the scientific reasoning behind that, that children can. because in england that is not the case. there are two reasons, they are both about balance. firstly, kids don‘t get a very serious disease. they have a very mild course if they get the disease at all. they do transmit the disease at all. they do transmit the disease, maybe not as much as older kids because they don‘t get as many symptoms. the other balance we are trying to draw his kids need to play, it is an essential part of their social upbringing. they have not been in school six months. the decision makers have to make a balanced choice. we think it is safer and it is really important they get some opportunity. i would love them to be out in softly, i would love it ought to be happening but it is literally too dangerous.

so we have to hold it back some way. that is a balanced judgment. what is involved in monitoring as children go back to school, we are seeing all age groups, university students, what are you looking out for in terms of spikes of level and how will you react? test and protect, our version of test and trace, works in a factory, school, call centre. yesterday we added a new layer, we launched protect scotland, our proximity app, we need more people to do that, download it, if you are visiting scotla nd download it, if you are visiting scotland all live in scotland. it will find positive cases, tell them to sell as and look for contacts. individual conversations with each positive. we will bring you up, ask where you have been, who you have been with? that will be with a

five—year—old or 85—year—old. have you been at the movies, the pub, in greece, at school? we worked out who your contacts are. the single most important tool is to get the positive cases of the street and keep them in their houses. in scotland, what will become law with wearing masks, if you are in a restau ra nt with wearing masks, if you are in a restaurant and you get up from your seat from eating and move around i am seeming to go to the bathroom, you now have to put a mask on. do you now have to put a mask on. do you think that will be enforceable? it feels a bit odd you don‘t have to wear a mask but then had to put one on to walk 20 metres. let us work out what we are trying to do and then we will come to the guidance. we are trying to limit the risk as much as we can and allow the economy to open gently. we would

love it ought to be open, or that it is, that is the world we seek. what we are trying to do is when we open that economy to do it safely. sanitisers at the door, one—way systems. i was in a restaurant this week, superb, one—way systems, hand sanitiser, staff wearing face coverings. we have added, if you get up, face coverings as well, to add another layer of protection because it is slightly more difficult to distance from people wondering around. i don‘t think we will need enforcement for that. i think the vast majority of people across the uk understand the rules, follow the rules to keep themselves safe. i don‘t think we will have police in the restaurant checking you have put your mask on. that is not what we are intending. but enforcement does add a layer of incentive for people

to try their best to help us. iam to try their best to help us. i am interested to see how a restau ra nt i am interested to see how a restaurant will react when they hear you are coming to dinner! they were really good. two couples, distanced, very well done. thank you. let us talk now to the mayor of liverpool, this is the watch list, cities where new restrictions could apply, what do you know about liverpool? i expect liverpool to be put on that watch list. we have 300 active positive cases of covid. that is 200 up positive cases of covid. that is 200 up on the week before. i am sure the government will be concerned about that. i expect liverpool, beyond liverpool, merseyside, to be put on the watchlist and rightly so. we are concerned about those figures as

anybody else. a 200 increase this week alone which is worrying. what difference will it make to people living in the way they live their lives? in merseyside, liverpool in particular, we will have no change immediately, but it does mean we have to be very wary of the precarious position we are in. if we go into another knock—down in liverpool, it will be a disaster for us. we are already struggling, businesses, people health—wise mentally and physically. we need to look at further restrictions. at the moment we are being very proactive, engaging with people where we have had particular little spikes within

parts of the city. we have worked with the community, community groups, local councillors and residents. unfortunately, that is the only tool we have. the reality is the reason we are talking now is that hasn‘t work so what will you do differently? we need government to do things differently. we have just heard from scotla nd differently. we have just heard from scotland and i believe scotland have led the way in tackling covid. we need a bit more of that from our government. yesterday the prime minster announced marshall‘s four local authorities to patrol our streets. we have been told nothing about that. we need government to explain what that means, how it will be enforced, but they will have as powers, to help local authorities more in passing on powerful messages to people and enforcing the law. that is the message i give to government. what we can do as a city is the same as others, to try to get the message across to people how

important it is for them to follow the rules and keep to the guidance, very simply, that is the only role we can play. when there is an outbreak then we can target it with test and trace, close down, put measures in place in schools and communities. but that is reactive. what we need to do is prevent it happening in the first place and we need government assistance and help to do that. i would like to see them introduce the briefings again so people get an understanding this is an important national issue, see them making sure we enforce the law where it matters in retail, transport. i would like to see local authority have funding and many for powers. all these things need to be done. thank you for your time, the mayor of liverpool, talking about the

expectation they have in liverpool along with other cities that they will go on a watchlist in relation to coronavirus. we have a double whammy of sports bodies in today. hello, sally! lovely to see you here. we had mike here this morning. the reason you are here, you have had a series of chats with lovely sporting heroes who have been supporting each other in different ways in lockdown. and i have been on holiday with one of them, only for a day. good morning. you may remember we spoke to three sports with mnd. they got together to share their stories and offer each other support in a way no one else can. we are in touch with all of them still. i went on a specialfamily with all of them still. i went on a special family holiday with rob. you will notice he was struggling with his voice but is as positive and

determined as ever. rob, hello. it is so lovely to see you again. how are you feeling at the moment? what has it been like being here on holiday with the kids for you? you say it is really important to see them have fun. how much is it helping you?

and how important is it for you to make memories for them, and make memories for the kids now? how aware are you that that is what you need to do? the power of the mind is a really interesting thing, isn‘t it? how important do you think it is all of those years of training and playing and being a leader on the pitch, how much are you drawing on that now?

brilliant to catch up with rob burrow and his family on that wonderfulfamily holiday burrow and his family on that wonderful family holiday they were having. for details of organisations which offer advice and support with mnd, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline. we have the rugby league challenge cup sixth round match on sunday, 2.30pm bbc one — castleford tigers v hull fc. the team will be joined by rob‘s former leeds captainjamie peacock who‘s doing a 55—kilometre challenge next month to raise money for his former team—mate and the fight against mnd.

how lovely to see him out there, with the kids. they were having the time of their life, beautiful. it looked really lovely out there. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i‘m sonja jessup. bbc london has discovered fake drivers‘ licences are being advertised for sale on social media. one of the sellers claimed he could "cheat the system" it's because he had people working for him in driving test centres. the safety body — the dvsa — says they‘re aware of the claims but they‘ve found no evidence of criminal activity by test centre staff. traders at the uk‘s largest flower market, new covent garden, say some may struggle to survive without more help from their landlord. they‘re calling for a reduction in rent and service charges of up to 50%, saying business has been hit

during the pandemic. we have been tenants here since 1974, part of the market since 1910, and i think it is appropriate for our landlord to give us more support during this time. a minimum of 50% i would think, a minimum of what they should offer us. absolute minimum 50% rent and rates. because look at it. well, the covent garden market authority says struggling businesses should speak to them and they‘ve already offered help to defer rent and a reduction to the service charge. gladstone park in north west london, named after former prime minister william gladstone, could be renamed due to his association with the slave trade. brent council has announced a review and suggested local school children might like to suggest a new name. a the young vic theatre in south london is celebrating its 50th birthday. london is celebrating it opened in waterloo in 1970 and helped launch the careers of many well—known actors. productions are currently postponed

but they plan to celebrate the work of performers and back stage crew in a video installation, projected onto the building. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. the tube is still running well, no reported problems. only the waterloo and city line which continues to be closed. southern railway have delays, though there‘s been a signal failure at purley. the m4 is very slow this morning into central london from junction 3 to junction 1 at chiswick. these are the delays on nine elms lane heading towards it. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. like yesterday morning in the suburbs, a chilly start this morning but a dry one with good spells of sunshine. and with that sunshine continuing i think you will see temperatures lifting nicely like yesterday, bit of cloud around and particularly into this afternoon we will start to see cloud filtering

through, a bit of a noticeable breeze from the south—west but in the best of the sunshine, temperatures in the low 20s celsius. through the night tonight there is a bit more on the way of cloud towards us from the north and a weak cold front could bring patchy rain into tomorrow morning but it should be largely clear by first light. it means it is not quite as chilly a start tomorrow morning and then the day itself, a lot of fine weather and good spells of sunshine but these temperatures are the story of the coming days, increasing warmth, well above average for the time of year for monday and tuesday, knocking on the door of 30 degrees. more from me in around half—an—hour. do take a look at our facebook and instagram pages. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the lockdown took its economic toll on the uk, but how well is it recovering since businesses were allowed to reopen?

the economy grew injuly. ben is in the city of london for us this morning with the latest. are digesting the news here in the city that the economy grew 6.6% in july. the economy is on the mend, but still 12% smaller now than it was before all of this began. so inevitably lots of questions about what happens next and what it means morejobs windows what happens next and what it means more jobs windows government support scheme start to be wound down. good morning to you. give us a sense first of all about the end of the year, because the start of the year has been ok, even in lockdown businesses are bucking the trend with a lot of pent—up demand and orders to fulfil but the real problem could come later in the year. we are seeing the impact at the moment of the uk economy

unwinding as the economy reopens, so we are seeing growth back in the third quarter of this year but what is important is what happens next. we are concerned moving into the fourth quarter of this year, and next year, as government schemes start to wind down, we may get more local lockdowns and sector restrictions having a big negative impact on the economy. let's talk about those support schemes, the chancellor is adamant they will not be extended, thejob retention scheme up to the end of october, gra nts scheme up to the end of october, grants for businesses and money for businesses who rehire staff but there will not be a full—scale extension of the further scheme. three big issues for the economy, lots of businesses are facing a cash crisis. we are seeing mounting job losses. there is concern as we move later in the year, we will get a cliff edge for the uk economy. for the jobs market, the further scheme extending is one option but the

government could help businesses to retain and recruit staff, but it needs to look at extending lending schemes for businesses that need cash, especially those subject to local restrictions. talking about jobs, we know the unemployment rate is creeping up and we expect it to get hired by the end of the year. the talk of lots of people in jobs now that are sort of artificially supported by that further scheme, is that how you see it? we are seeing a bit of that, around one in ten of the workforce are on furlough so thatis the workforce are on furlough so that is a bit of a cliff edge but there are other things the government can do to help, extending the further scheme is one option, they can look at, for example, they could employ a national insurance contributions, which is a jobs tax to help businesses retain and recruit people. thank you for joining us. that is one of the real concerns. not necessarily what has

happened already. the figures we have had a looking back at what already happened. lots of businesses telling me that, for now, they are 0k telling me that, for now, they are ok because they have a lot of pent—up demand, but by the end of the year at the start of next year there could be some problems, that could be one to watch, but good growth figures forjune and july this year, but the economy is still much smaller than it was before all of this began. i will get out of the way and leave you with that glorious view of the city of london as people get back to their opposites, although it is still much quieter thanit although it is still much quieter than it was before all of this began. it is a much better view, ben! thank you. let‘s get some reaction to the current state of the economy. we‘re joined now by the former prime minister gordon brown. good morning. could you give me a reaction to those figures? growth of 6.6% in the economy forjuly. that

isa 6.6% in the economy forjuly. that is a good thing in itself. what do you make of that in relation to the bigger picture? welcome of course, that the government had a rescue plan that takes us from march through to september and october but actually worried about the recovery following that. you could have this cliff edge on october 31, and there could be massive unemployment after that. if at the same time we have still got these health restrictions, some of them coming back in, companies and workers cannot get back to normal economic activity and cannot be expected to do so when we put restrictions on meetings and everything else, so we need a recovery plan now, we need the same spirit of consensus that brought about the rescue plan now, for a recovery plan and i got to be honest, what is being proposed at the moment is totally inadequate. we will lose skills, capacity, put families at risk and consumer spending will go down if we don‘t do

three things, one, we have to extend the father, perhaps linked to retraining for people who have to movejobs. —— retraining for people who have to move jobs. —— we retraining for people who have to movejobs. —— we have got to retraining for people who have to move jobs. —— we have got to extend the furlough. and we have to do something about youth unemployment, half a million young people looking forjobs, and half a million young people looking for jobs, and the half a million young people looking forjobs, and the kick—start scheme is simply not enough. we have got to help companies themselves recover. they cannot pay back these loans they have taken and invest in the future and yet they have to readjust to the new economy and we have got to the new economy and we have got to help them to do so. you are a former chancellor. let‘s talk about some numbers. the further scheme as it stands is costing, this is the office for budget responsibility figures, £14 billion a month. the estimate was that by the end of october it will have cost a total of £69 billion. what song would you be

prepared to put forward, in terms of what is needed —— what sum would you suggest in terms of extending the furlough? where there are local lockdowns, and it is in everyone‘s public health interest that people stay at home and do not feel obliged to go to work, there has got to be proper support but in most cases i would think part—time work, and france and germany have introduced help for part—time work so that people are still in theirjobs but there is not enough activity so let‘s have them part—time so the employer pays something but so too with the government, it should be linked to retraining because so many people will have to look at newjobs and if you are at home, you‘re not doing nothing, you are offered the chance of retraining opportunities. that is a positive programme and i see the treasury select committee is supporting that. i‘ve been talking to the mayors of liverpool and newcastle and sheffield and bristol and london and all of these know

what is happening on the ground, and they know that the economy is not yet ready to go back to full activity, and if we push people back we will have more disease, so we have got to do something that replaces the present furlough scheme with something that allows people, if necessary, to do part time, if they are in the local lockdown to be empowered to stay—at—home but perhaps linked to giving them the chance to retraining. for young people we got to be far bolder than we are now. i want to treat you as if you were the real chancellor now, can you give me a number? it sounds like you are saying here is what would be a good thing. i did ask me about numbers. if you were chancellor are you saying that it would be a blank cheque? i mentioned the figure, £14 billion a month as it stands. you would just keep that going? the next stage will not cost 14 billion. how much is macro i am saying that we negotiate part—time

work and negotiate to help young people. i don‘t believe that the £30 billion package ofjuly, france and germany have announced 100 billion, america starting at anything above 1 trillion as the necessary next stage. britain is lagging behind and we are missing the boat and equally at the same time we are at a crunch point. you‘ve got to make the decisions now stop being realistic you got to spend more, i‘m talking about figure is similar to france and germany and you have got to spend, to save. borrowing at the moment, when i was in government we had to pay 4% to borrow but now giilts are at 0.17%, it is cheaper to borrow, the markets want to lend to borrow, the markets want to lend to the government but let‘s understand, this is a one in 100 year event. this is unprecedented. totally unique. do not destroy capacity and skills, do not put

people out of work and just sit back when you know that unemployment is going to go 3 million, perhaps even higher, you have got to take action and respond to what has been set across the country, we had a consensus in march, the consensus is breaking down, it is now up to the government to listen to people right round the regions. so many of them are saying that this has got to be done. earlier we spoke to the business minister, nadim is a hobby, and we spoke about the plan that you are putting forward, —— nadim zahawi, are putting forward, —— nadim za hawi, and are putting forward, —— nadim zahawi, and he was talking about a 6-6.6% zahawi, and he was talking about a 6—6.6% unemployment rate. and if the government does not change what they are doing, what does it look like? what does unemployment look like, do you think? remember that is about 2 million unemployed already so he‘s

saying he would accept 2 million unemployed ? that is saying he would accept 2 million unemployed? that is not good enough. the office for budget responsibility says that it will be 3 million. that isa says that it will be 3 million. that is a very high figure, but it could be even higher because once you count young people, many of whom would be out of work, they have got ethnic unemployment of perhaps 20%, youth unemployment perhaps up to 50% in some areas, you cannot destroy the hopes and aspirations of a whole generation, when you have got an unprecedented event. you are telling businesses they cannot return to full activity because of what is happening and help. we haven‘t made the progress and we can discuss that, because of the lack of testing, the progress that we should have, therefore you have got to take emergency, extraordinary action and that means that a new plan has got to be introduced before the end of october, but preferably in the next few days. what to ask you about what is happening in relation to brexit, i hope that is ok. the current prime minister borisjohnson i hope that is ok. the current prime minister boris johnson is

i hope that is ok. the current prime minister borisjohnson is bringing in this internal market bill at the beginning of next week. it has infuriated his eu counterparts going into the trade negotiations today as it stands, there is the threat of legal action, the possibility of the talks breaking down. what do you make of the position that the british government is taking? make of the position that the british government is taking7m make of the position that the british government is taking? it is an own goal, it is self—harm. you can, he signed an international treaty a few weeks ago, 12 months ago, the prime minister negotiating it and ago, the prime minister negotiating itand sign ago, the prime minister negotiating it and sign it, and then break it. ifi it and sign it, and then break it. if i was chancellor or prime minister and i said i‘m if i was chancellor or prime ministerand i said i‘m breaking this treaty people would have said the rule of law, and borisjohnson would have been the first to say it. but you can do this if you are prime minister with a huge majority? this isa minister with a huge majority? this is a negotiating tactic. he thinks that whether it is the irish prime minister or angela merkel will come in and save the day for him and make a last—minute deal. he wants to

bypass all of the european commission people and go straight to the european council people and he thinks angela merkel will accept somehow that the rule of law might be broken and that is not going to happen. my fear is notjust that be broken and that is not going to happen. my fear is not just that we have no—deal, and that is a real possibility and that means that good and medical supplies will not be coming into the country in the way that they should, that we have a compromise, a minimalist deal which will take effect for years to come so will take effect for years to come so you have tariffs on entry to the country and exit but when we change the level playing field, you will ta ke the level playing field, you will take sanctions and you can have it one month afterjanuary or a year afterjanuary, but one month afterjanuary or a year after january, but it one month afterjanuary or a year afterjanuary, but it is a recipe for perpetual conflict. i'm going to have to stop you there because you have to stop you there because you have frozen on our screens, and that sometimes happens on zoom calls, but i appreciate your time talking to is

this morning. thank you so much. there we go, that is definitely over. it is infuriating when that happens! matt‘s at one of winston churchill‘s former homes this morning with the weather. good morning. good morning. i good morning. iam good morning. i am at good morning. i am at chartwell, good morning. i am at chartwell, it good morning. i am at chartwell, it i am at chartw reopens good morning. i am at chartwell, it reopens on monday with lots of new items and who better to show me rather than someone who knows the house pretty well. this wall over here is exactly as i remember it. nonie chapman‘s relationship with chartwell spans six decades. the old—fashioned typewriter and the switchboard which is exactly as it was. the office here was a hive of industry. and all the sounds you

remember at the time. absolutely, you can hear the typing going on in the background. after starting work at chartpwell in the early 1960s, she went on to play an important role supporting the family working alongside his wife when sir winston churchill died. winston used to love to feed golden orfe in the pools. and i used to have to collect the live bait he fed them with. and one of myjobs once a week, i used to take these big tin boxes of films, big film reels, with me to the station. i think it was on a friday. and i would collect the new films which would be shown at the weekend. her experiences helped the national trust unlock some of the secrets and stories behind hundreds of items acquired and soon to be on show here. so this is winston churchill‘s study. it is one of the most important rooms in the house and this is where he would spend hours of his time.

amongst others, a beautiful painting of blenheim palace where he was born. a speech box which housed the notes that would inform the words that would inspire a nation. this is one of the most important objects in our whole collection. it charts visitors to chartwell between 1924 and 1964. with over 700 signatures it is a who‘s who of the early 20th century. among the signatories are charlie chaplin, and my favourite is a lesser—known figure, a gentleman called fabian von schlabrendorff. he was a member of the german resistance who was informing churchill in the lead—up to the second world war and visited chartwell afterwards. and he was actually involved in an assassination attempt on hitler. so, a really interesting individual. volunteers have given up 6,000 hours of their time to help with the project. their research, as well as new items to the house

have really put the essence of churchill back into chartwell, but what better resource did the national trust have than the people who knew him best? lady churchill was, i adored her, she was a wonderful character, a very strong character. and i often used to think, it amazed me, how two such strong characters must have lived together in such harmony. the atmosphere was fantastic. it was such a happy atmosphere. lady churchill loved flowers. there were always flowers everywhere, log fires burning, you could just go where you wanted to. everybody was happy here. it was an absolute joy to speak there, she had suchjoy, still volunteering here. a lovely calm location.

let us take a look at the forecast. you will need a strong jacket in northern ireland and scotland. some heavy rain around at times across scotla nd heavy rain around at times across scotland and northern ireland. it will brighten up later for many. the driest conditions are south and further east. a few glimpses of sunshine across southern and eastern parts where it should stay dry. but heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland this morning, lingering across the far south of scotland. north—west england and north—west wales will see rain in the afternoon. to the south of that rain band, staying dry coming into the low 20s. a cold day across scotland and northern ireland with that wet and windy weather. overnight, the rain will push its way southwards into east anglia and

fizzle out becoming light and patchy. with that cloud emplaced not as cold at night tonight. into the weekend, we have the cloud lingering across the south producing one or two showers. the skies will brighten up. sunny spells across the rest of england. scotland, northern ireland, the brightest weather will be early in the day with cloud increasing and turning wetter. temperatures will be very similar to today. into saturday and overnight, we will see very into saturday and overnight, we will see very heavy rain in western scotla nd see very heavy rain in western scotland with minor flooding. see very heavy rain in western scotland with minorflooding. on sunday that becomes confined to the northern half of scotland. but starting to feel warmer. southerly winds developing on monday, almost a

return to summer, temperatures up to 28 across the south—east. 20 in scotland. that will continue into tuesday. whatever your plans, enjoy. and i am enjoying the first appearance of the season of your pa rt appearance of the season of your part corej part sheepskin jacket! —— corduroy. that is the test, what the weather man is wearing. we are barely into autumn. it is lovely, look at that! it is lovely, look at that! it has everything! you connoisseur of fashion!

the connoisseur of corduroy. that sounds like louis theroux. he‘s known for his non—threatening style that encourages people to open up — louis theroux has becomes a household name for his award—winning documentaries. now, he‘s revisiting some of the highlights of his 25—year career in a new bbc two series called "louis theroux: life on the edge." let‘s take a look. some people that i have been speaking to suggest that there is a major cataclysm on the way, possible alien invasion or... we should stay down, we would rather that than individuals do not dwell upon them, the negative aspects of that is as early...

i can feel something. put your hand right in and through here, put your hand in. through here? on the beam. energy beam. how do you feel? oh, that was intense. that was incredible. louis theroux joins us now. iamso i am so sorry, i found out really funny. the joy of you is that you a lwa ys funny. the joy of you is that you always present yourself as com pletely always present yourself as completely open—minded to these things. i don‘t know how you do it, have you enjoyed it? i‘d love it. first, can i thank you for my new name, the connoisseur of corduroy. that actually goes to our weatherman, i am sorry, charlie bestowed it him but i would love to hear your opinion on that!

well, maybe i can be connoisseur junior or a tag team. but on the question of my life, on my new series, and people who can channel space aliens, it is funny looking back at it, i was interested you found it amusing. what is odd is at the time it felt quite intense and almost nerve—racking, the weirdness of it was strangely discomforting. he is one of the many people i have gone back to see, well, i did not reinterview him for this new series, but i dug into his life a bit more. he is someone i met in the 19905 when i made a programme about ufos. i am sorry to say he

died either late last year or early this year. he is a good example how in this new series we have been able to open up stories and expand my encounters with people from years ago into something different. cani ago into something different. can i ask you, where you, i know you have gone back to meet people, where they always welcoming to you? some people might think you made them look ina people might think you made them look in a certain way not necessarily in the best light. they a lwa ys necessarily in the best light. they always say, great to see you, despite what happened. it isa despite what happened. it is a valid question. the short a nswer it is a valid question. the short answer is people were not always happy to hear from answer is people were not always happy to hearfrom me answer is people were not always happy to hear from me and answer is people were not always happy to hearfrom me and in answer is people were not always happy to hear from me and in some cases, the first episode went out on sunday night, it was about belief, there were four stories. on a positive note, there were three young girls who when i met them were

ten but being raised in a white nationalist scene, and they have now grown up and were happy to hear from me. they were no longer part of that movement that they subscribe to. —— subscribed to. and there was another guy, marshall. i regarded him, iwant to and there was another guy, marshall. i regarded him, i want to put this ina i regarded him, i want to put this in a polite way, i thought about his claims that they were outlandish, he said he could turn you into a millionaire a few give him $5,000 which i felt was a scam. he wasn‘t really interested in speaking to me. sometimes people don‘t like the way the programme turned out. more often than not i am always pleased to see people are quite happy with how they we re people are quite happy with how they were shown. feeling they had been depicted fairly i guess. cani depicted fairly i guess. can i check with you, we are limited for time. how about you, do you

think you have changed? you are looking at other people. what about you ? looking at other people. what about you? the short answer, yes, i have changed it not, much older, wrinkly, i have got a beard now. i think i would like to think of myself as a bit more mature. i used to see journalism as myjob to poke fun, in the early dhows, and now maybe there is a bit more to it. we will come back and talk to you in a couple of minutes. you are watching bbc breakfast.
