make it that bit harder to persuade a generation raised on youtube and whatsapp and tiktok to part with their cash. i don't really watch a lot. i don't feel like it is for my generation. it is one of several that are available and, increasingly, i'm sort of using on—demand services as well. i happily pay it to make sure that i can keep watching those dramas, if we get another lockdown. for them to take a pay cut, i think is really good. and not to whinge, though. so as long as they took the pay cut and wasn't like, oh, a bad thing came out of their mouth, happy days. shows such as top gear are getting ready to launch their new series. lockdown hit productions globally. and it cost the bbc £125 million at least. a new commercially minded director general insists bbc programmes need to create value for licence fee payers. the big unanswered question is how much the licence fee payers of tomorrow are willing to pay

forfamous faces. amol rajan, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, suggested today that two families who mingle on the street in england and number more than six people, could be breaking the new coronavirus rule of six restriction. the rules are supposed to be clear and less confusing, but as our correspondentjon kay reports from plymouth, the results seems to be rather mixed. the kind of afternoon when you might stop in the sun and chat with friends. but what if you are now breaking the law? if you saw a bunch of six friends over there now, and they said, "sue, come and join us," but it takes it to seven, would you go and chat to them? of course i would. you're not going to ignore your friends, are you? if you are out in the open, you're safe. the home secretary would say that is mingling and therefore against the new rule of six. maybe, but i think most people are going to carry on and talk to their friends.

it may not seem like a big deal but it actually is. best friends chloe and amelia say they would not mingle with other groups. it's not worth it. i wouldn't. i would keep to myself and what i know, just help protect my nan and that. with lockdown it was you in your house, that's it. there were strict rules. like many of us, chris and amy are trying to work out what the new rules mean. i have no idea if it is adults or kids. they thought they could have six grown—ups for a barbecue if the children are upstairs asleep, but in england children are included in the rule of six, even if they are in bed. did you realise that? no. it is horrible, absolutely horrible. have an ice cream. thank you! it's not very nice. what, the ice cream? the ice cream is lovely. the home secretary says she would report her neighbours if they were breaking the rule of six. it is a bit like a war. these friends, on holiday from cheshire, were divided.

would you call the police if your neighbours were breaking the rules? it is the right thing to do. it is for the neighbour's benefit as well. it's no good us sticking to the rules and our generation sticking to the rules and everybody else going mad. i would have to think carefully, because you have got to live with these people. it's later on in life, it may be a year goes by, and you are not speaking to your neighbours. it is not because i don't like my neighbours. will they be watching?! it may feel like summer is still hanging on, but this autumn, new rules apply. jon kay, bbc news, plymouth. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. it's now time for us to take a first look at the national and international front pages in the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are with is the political commentator and former director of communications for the labour party, lance price, and lucy fisher, defence editor at the times. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. the metro describes the uk's testing system as being in chaos, and says it could take weeks to rectify.

the health secretary's admission that tests will have to be rationed is the focus of the mail's top story. the i says parents and teachers will be at the back of the queue because of the priority to test health care workers. it's a similar story in the guardian, which also has the pictures of russian opposition leader, alexei navalny, who appears to be recovering from novichok poisoning. the archbishop of canterbury has written in the telegraph about his concerns over the government's rule of six restriction. the ft says the japanese company hitachi is preparing to pull the plug on a power station in wales, in what they call a blow to climate change targets. and the daily star has been busy on photoshop, to give its take on the uk's coronavirus testing problems. so, let's begin. who this is the archbishop saying

that he believes this rule of six restriction will be damaging. what is the believe that? it is very interesting and politically tinged intervention and she makes the argument that centralisation has gone too far and that the government needs to allow people to manage the outbreaks locally and not try to interfere in the detail of peoples everyday lives. a source close to the senior cleric is quoted as saying that he is very concerned about christmas, that being cancelled and families are not able to gather and exceed the limit of six people meeting under the current rules and that he is concerned about lower and elderly people in the months ahead. what choice do people haveif months ahead. what choice do people have if you cannot gather and there finds that you can face if you break the rules? this goes into the

government communication problem which is that they want there to be clarity in the rules comes the people know when and when they are not breaking the rules. and there has been a great degree of confusion over the has been a great degree of confusion overthe summer has been a great degree of confusion over the summer months when the rules are being relaxed and people we re rules are being relaxed and people were not sure how they applied in the rule of six was an attempt to get back to a much simpler system, but as the archbishop suggests, there is a danger that the government actually tried to give the impression that something is being done and centralising power in socialising decision—making in whitehall and in particular, the hands of the health secretary, causes considerable resentment around the country when people say actually, the situation here in our city and our locality in our rural areas completely different than elsewhere and we should be given the freedom to make local decisions. you

can agree with that i think in many ways, there is an absolutely sensible way to go forward, but if you do go too far down that road, this is the dilemma of the government faces, then you will have the confusion growing. on one side of the street, they can do one thing and on the other side they can do the other. notjust confusion but frustration from some who saw pictures from this morning of grass shoots able to take place with people, 30 of you because it's a sporting event, but then not being able to see each other, even fleetingly of the home secretary version of events is to be believed that you could be in trouble just for mingling, as she put it. yes, i think there is a lot of resentment

there that sports and are classed as very elitist, available only to the wealthy and those living in country estates in rural areas, able to carry on with sports and very interesting that 20% of the people who work in a certain tax category of this kind of sport involving hunting, trapping and so forth, happen to live in the constituency of richmond and yorkshire it is the chancellors constituency to some eyebrows raised there to ensure that that sporting pursuit is allowed to continue and yes, as you said the same time, the draconian nature of the rules were today, the home secretary confirmed that two families of four members passed each other in the streets and stopped of a brief chat and that would be illegal. yes, i noticed that they made the point that this the first

time since the 1300s that mingling has been described as an offence under english law. let's look at the test in chaos, the metro first. we want to help, but computers as new tests and here we have represented testing centre in cambridge and also it is deserted and get people cannot get hold of a test even if they‘ re and get people cannot get hold of a test even if they're prepared to drive miles to find one. and stories have been all over the country with people getting increasingly angry and frustrated by the inability to get a test locally and have been taught to drive hundreds of miles if they want to get a test and simply being completely unable to follow what they thought was the government device, which is if you had concerns, device, which is if you had concerns, going get tested and we are told they were going to get a world beating test and treat system

long before now and there was an excess capacity over the summer, but i think that ministers should have been able to protect that with the coming of the ottoman with schools going back and people going back to their offices and people wanting to know whether it is safe for them to go into those environments or whether it is if this gets to go into those environments for teachers to go back to work, that there would be the spike in demand for the protest and they should be able to plan ahead for it. a lot of confusion ahead and people think that this is an nhs run enterprise, turning up at hospitals when all moses failed. yes, a lot of confusion as they mentioned a moment ago, the government has been trying to clarify its message which hasn't necessarily succeeded and i think it is incredibly awkward for the government that we are seeing such a shortage of tests after they've had

the months of summer to prepare for what was going to be an obvious spike. a lot of concern now that with the need to prioritise which matt hancock made clear in the comments today that obviously the nhs patients and the staff and the people and care homes, the children, those listed risk from the coronavirus can be pushed to the back of the cube, the impact that can have on schools, many of which are already on the tipping point of closing, is very concerning indeed. and the independent features matt hancock saying that the testing issues are going to go on for weeks. why? because the laboratories, those that have to analyse those tests cannot cope with the increase in demand that we are now seeing. now, pa rt of demand that we are now seeing. now, part of this is down to the government having to privatise the way in which these laboratories are

brought on stream to increase capacity but also thousand comments which was saying how and why this is happening. they were talking about computer glitches and bottlenecks but ina computer glitches and bottlenecks but in a rather vague way that wasn't particularly clear. and if these were in the national health service, rather than being done by private laboratories, i think that would've been more accountability and transparency to find out the reasons why we have this apparent inability of the demand and because the arms and from the nhs, remaking the arms and from the nhs, remaking the answers that we should be getting. i've been talking to a lot of public health experts are saying the same things that a lot of these problems would be resolved if people

didn't have to travel long distances for tests, if tests themselves were not being shipped long distances to laboratories, sometimes overseas even,in laboratories, sometimes overseas even, in this reluctance or refusal is baffling for some people that the government will not localise these services, it is all done centrally in that, for many people, many critics, as of the heart of this. i think that is right and there are a number of problems to pack in the distance issue. one of them seems to be the computer glitch in the reports that in london, people seeking a test were advised to enter in aberdeen post code clearly the algorithm was misleading take to the nearest testing centre for people in london to go to and putting in afalse postcode. suggesting that the

average distance to a testing centre was only 5.8 miles, but that seems not to align with many people who have made the complaints that you have made the complaints that you have just raised. i think that going forward , have just raised. i think that going forward, there is a lot of hope being pinned on trying to get tests that can be sent out and sent back to laboratories and processed a lot more quickly as well and i think the time it currently takes in laboratories for the tests we have, there is a lot of optimism around some technology that can process test results between 20 and 60 minutes, but at the moment, they're just not as reliable as these tests laboratory just not as reliable as these tests la boratory tests just not as reliable as these tests laboratory tests are taking longer. johnson make compromise of her brexit bill. this is an internal markets bill and it passed with the government majority of 77, but it has upset a lot of conservative mps because they believe that this is breaking international law because it tries to unwind some of the

withdrawal agreement and
