this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. in the uk, the prime minister says a second wave of coronavirus is on its way. i don't think anybody wants to go into a second lockdown, but clearly, you know, when you look at what is happening, you've got to wonder whether we need to go further. nearly a million people will face partial lockdown restrictions in madrid — with residents told not to leave their local area. and new rules aimed at banning tik tok and wechat from the us could come into force by sunday. and it's man versus beast in a standoff in the masai mara game reserve.

the world health organization has warned that the coronavirus pandemic is not burning out, and that countries in the northern hemisphere must prepare for a winter battle against the disease. across europe, governments are introducing new coronavirus restrictions as case numbers continue to rise. on thursday, the who warned that the situation in the region was now "very serious" and that the increasing figures should serve as a wake—up call. today, we're seeing countries respond. we start here in the uk where the prime minister says a second wave of the virus is coming. here's vicky young. the life we used to lead can no longer be taken for granted. we have to do something to get rid of it.

across the uk, governments have been trying to slow a second surge of coronavirus with local restrictions. it is confusing. like, one minute, they're encouraging us to go out monday, tuesday, wednesday, lunch and dinner and drinks, the next, police are banging on doors, chucking everyone out of houses. in wolverhampton, they‘ re preparing for further curbs on socialising from next week. coronavirus is no longer a local problem in a few hot spots. it's going to get bad again, i reckon. there's no lockdown any more here. like, no—one's taken notice of it. the prime minister was in oxford today visiting scientists who are trying to develop a vaccine. that's fantastic, that's likejurassic park! but until they succeed, the government will consider tighter restrictions on everyone. we will try to keep all parts of the economy open as far as we possibly can. i don't think anybody wants to go into a second lockdown, but clearly, when you look at what is happening, you've got to wonder whether we need to go further than the rule of six that we brought in on monday. over the summer, the government's

been talking about the path back to normality, encouraging us to spend money in restaurants and return to the office. they're desperate to protect as manyjobs as possible, but they have to protect lives, too. covid cases are now doubling every 7—8 days, and that's prompting a rethink. in england, ministers are considering tighter restrictions for everyone, a so—called "circuit break". parts of the hospitality sector could be asked to close for a short time, but schools and workplaces would be kept open. this virus is on the rise again. leaders of the devolved nations are calling for an emergency meeting with the prime minister this weekend. the coming days are likely to see some hard, but necessary decisions. if we want to avoid another full—scale lockdown, which all of us do, doing nothing will almost certainly isn't an option. there is a vacancy at the heart of the united kingdom, and it needs urgently to be filled.

so that we can talk together, share information, pool ideas and demonstrate a determination that the whole of the country can face these challenges together at this difficult time. the labour leader says problems with the testing system mean it's much harder to control the spread of the virus. this feels very much like we were in february, and so we need quick, decisive action on a national scale from the prime minister. he needs to set out what he's going to do and reassure the nation. we will support him if he does that. many are enjoying these last days of summer. but ministers are already anxious about the severe challenges ahead. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. numbers are rising across europe. france reported over 13,000 new confirmed coronavirus cases in the past 2a hours, which is a new record for the country.

and in ireland, where cases have also surged in the last few days, new restrictions for the capital dublin will come into force from midnight tonight. people are being told not to leave the city except for essential reasons and to only use public transport for essential journeys. they are again being asked to work from home where possible. and restaurants and pubs that serve food will only be allowed to have guests outdoors or provide a take—away service. spain has also just announced new measures in the madrid region, which has the highest case numbers in western europe. there will be restrictions on movement between the region's worst affected areas; access to parks and public areas will be suspended and gatherings will be limited to between 6 to 10 people. madrid limited to between 6 to 10 people. regional had an workers madrid regional had announced that workers will not be affected. translation: for this purpose, we're going to have to impose restrictions on movement. we know these are extraordinary

measures, but they're very necessary to limit movement between and within areas badly affected and combat the spread of this virus. however, we don't want to stop people from going to work or to school. our correspondent guy hedgecoe is in madrid explained the impact the fresh measures could have. this is obviously good to have some kind of economic impact that this affects men people in the region. the fact that the not the whole of madrid region which is seeing this measures i think suggest that there isa measures i think suggest that there is a determination they. to avoid is a determination they are to avoid a total lockdown of the region. given that madrid and spain as a whole has already been hard—hit economically by coronavirus. a tickly back in march and april. so far this year the country has seen its gdp dropped by 20%. madrid is really the motor of the spanish economy and it wants to be pulling out of that recession as soon as

possible. i think this is seen as some sort of compromise. antonio zapatero is the deputy health chief in charge of public health in madrid — he said that the situation in madrid was continuing to get worse. the situation in madrid is getting difficult after the return of a lot of people, the holidays, summer holidays. 7% are going to hospitals. they said 10% needs intensive care unit. the situation in madrid is getting difficult after the return of a lot of people over the holidays, summer holidays. and the opening of the school. so we decide today to make some restrictions in some neighbourhoods of madrid. in the neighbourhoods which transmission is very high. are those measures strict enough, are they going far enough? measures

must be strict. we need cooperation of police for the people staying at home. it's like a lockdown but people can go to work. in these neighbourhoods people can go to work but today bars and restaurants, reservation people six people each table. and with 50% inside the restaurant. also the taurus. i hope with these measures in the next two weeks we may have a descent of the cases in these parts of madrid. it is getting very high. is there disappointment there? because spain had a very strict lockdown and very restrictive measures for a long time. and now it seems the cases are very, very high yet again. and these restrictions may

not be strict enough. after the reopening of normal life lastjune people in spain have a very important social relations. in the summer, especially in young people. because in madrid the lowest and number of infections was less —— nine ofjuly. with only five cases for 100,000 people. after that we began to know that the cases that were increasing in the number especially in young person or between 15 and 30 years.

each new infection, instead set for a five contacts were 15 or 20. so recently madrid, the principal role was young people with a lot of contacts and madrid. staying in the us — downloading the chinese—owned social media apps tiktok and we chat will be banned there from this weekend, because president trump says they pose a risk to national security. the apps will have to stop operating in the us unless they're sold to an american company by the middle of november. tiktok — which has a hundred million users in the us — says it will challenge what it's described as an "unjust" order. in the last hour the president has been asked about the tiktok ban — this is what he had to say. so, we have some great options. we can keep a lot of people happy, but for the security that we need, we have to have total security from china. we are not going to do anything to jeopardise security. at the same time, it's an amazing company, very, very popular. jowin fung from bbc chinese, who is in washington, explains what will happen

for american users of the apps tick—tock is bank doing that basically getting a two month probation. so people can use this app probation. so people can use this app normally until mid—november. of course, app normally until mid—november. of course , everyone is app normally until mid—november. of course, everyone is watching how beijing and washington will decide oi'i beijing and washington will decide on this tick—tock deal with oracle. it's basically a partnership with the american company oracle. however it's facing much uncertainty in the washington and beijing. so us is concerned about national security and want tick—tock to be sold to an american company. however beijing does not want to look weak and not under washington's pressure. but this partnership is about is that tiktok is trying to avoid a us ban and at the same time keep the chinese government happy. interesting. let's move on to wechat now. it's an app that is slightly west well known but absolutely crucial, even to you use it all the

time. yes. earlier today i clicked open my wechat and all my contacts in the us are trying to share other ways to stay in contact with their family and friends in china. wechat even though it's lesser— known family and friends in china. wechat even though it's lesser—known in the us is actually a brilliant user apt and very influential in china. so this ban is basically a death penalty for wechat. effectively the app penalty for wechat. effectively the app will be shut down in the us on sunday. of course this move will severely affect the personal ties between us and china at a time that the bilateral relationship is at an historic low. the us presidential election isn't until november. but already some voters are heading to the polls. these pictures from earlier today are from minneapolis in the swing state of minnesota where early in— person voting has started.

bothjoe biden and president trump will be campaigning in the state later today. on thursday mr biden launched an attack on the president for downplaying the risks of the coronavirus — and blamed him for thousands of unnecessary deaths. he doesn't want to see anything happen. it's all about his re—election. it should be about the american people, and they're in trouble. and, by the way, his own cdc director contradicted him recently. he said, if, in fact, you just wore this mask — nothing else but this mask — you would save between now and january another 100,000 lives. but he knew it. he knew it and did nothing. it's close to criminal. i asked our washington correspondent, gary o'donoghue, about mr biden‘s strategy. it's an interesting one, isn't it? he's moving his tanks right onto donald trump lawn and terms of strategy saying look on the little quy strategy saying look on the little guy out here which represents the

low—paid workers, the working man, if you like. those people who have been left behind. you are the guy in manhattan on fifth avenue with a view of wall street. so really trying to reverse that whole narrative that donald trump is somehow a champion of the little man out there. both of them in minnesota today with early voting in person. it's worth noting that 42 states have early in person voting. most not quite as early as minnesota. many of them will do it for a couple of weeks before polling day. but minnesota is a crucial state because it's one of the closest ones back in 2016 hillary clinton won it by 1.5 percentage points over donald trump. there was a big third party vote as well at the time with the greens and the libertarians. donald trump feels he could pick up the ten electoral couege he could pick up the ten electoral college votes they are. you might need them if he loses places like wisconsin. so he's campaigning very ha rd wisconsin. so he's campaigning very hard and spending a lot of money

there as you would expect. what are you expecting from him and joe biden later today? i think particularly donald trump is making a lot of play on the law and order aspect of this campaign. he didn't minnesota, of course the scene of george floyd scaling back in may. when the police officer knelt on his neck and ended up officer knelt on his neck and ended up killing him. law and order has been a big subject for the president ever sense with the protests that resulted and really gathered momentum after that across the united states was up also i think he will be championing some of those industries particular tickly mining industries particular tickly mining industries in minnesota. and farming as well. they've already cleared the way in terms of some of the executive action he's taken to try and lighten the burden on some elements of industry in minnesota. no doubt with an eye to the election, as well. it's a big canvas

they are both playing on here. but minnesota, very important. i think the reason joe biden minnesota, very important. i think the reasonjoe biden is there is he is nine and ten points ahead in all the polling there. he doesn't in the sense need to be there. but i think he is haunted perhaps slightly buying hillary clinton's neglect of some parts of the midwest last time around. that is now sort of moved if you'd like, into democratic kind of folklore as a mistake. i'm sure he's there spending some time to prove that the democrats still love the midwest and still hope for their votes. thanks to gary o'donoghue there. stay with us on bbc news, still to come... we'll take you to siberia where scientists are warning that the thawing permafrost there could have a major impact on the world's climate. 30 hours after the earthquake that devastated mexico city, rescue teams still have no idea just

how many people have died. one day there is people alive, and there is people not alive. we just can help and give whatever we got. a state funeral has been held for princess grace of monaco at the church where she married prince rene 26 years ago. it looked as though they had come to fight a war but their mission is to bring peace to east timor, and nowhere on earth needs it more badly. the government's case is being forcefully presented by monsieur badinter, the justice minister. he's campaigned vigorously for abolition having once witnessed one of his clients being executed. bells ring. elizabeth seton spent much of her time at this grotto and every year, hundreds of pilgrimages are made here. now that she's become a saint, it's expected that this area will be inundated with tourists. the mayor and local businessmen regard the anticipated boom as yet another blessing of saint elizabeth.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines... a second wave of coronavirus is on its way, says the uk prime minister. it comes as madrid and dublin announce a tightening of restrictions for the coming weeks. and new rules aimed at banning tik tok and wechat from the us could come into force by sunday. scientists are warning that, across siberia, ground — normally frozen all year round is thawing. this releases huge amounts of greenhouse gases, making the problem of global warming even worse. in the second of his reports from the remote yakutia region, our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, looks at how thawing permafrost is affecting not just the climate, but the landscape and livelihoods in siberia. something rather strange is happening in siberia. in the town of churapcha, these are the scars of climate change.

rising temperatures mean that the frozen ground, the permafrost, is thawing, leaving a siberian teletubbyland of mounds and hollows, ponds and lakes. it means less pasture land. and more trouble getting around. climate change has been causing all kinds of problems here. where we are driving now was completely flat. 20 years ago, there was actually an airport here and this was the runway. but because the permafrost has been thawing, the ground has fallen away. the result — no more planes here now. siberia has a whole city built

on permafrost — yakutsk. now we stay 12 metres under the surface. deep underground, they are monitoring the rate at which the soil is thawing, because that affects not just the city, but the climate, too. and this is the permafrost? yes, it is permafrost. we see this layer, it is enriched organic matter, the shrubs, grass. and what happens when the permafrost thaws? organic matter contains a lot of gases, greenhouse gases, and when permafrost thaws, they can go into the air. so the more the permafrost thaws, the more gases go into the atmosphere? absolutely right. scientists believe that this year's

forest fires in siberia have accelerated permafrost thawing as far north as the arctic circle, contributing to global warming. but, back here, ilia has no time to think about the fate of the planet. he is too busy plugging holes to try to stop this permafrost pond from becoming a lake and washing away the house he is building. all the scrap he can find he is dumping to insulate the permafrost. as for the house, like all the buildings here, stilts are essential to avoid that sinking feeling.

translation: they say that global warming started. so i don't know what's going to happen. but i'll leave that to my children to solve that problem. i'm too old to do it. but what will siberia be like for ilia's children if climate change isn't tackled now? at risk are whole communities and livelihoods. as it is, the land here bizarre, disfigured, is already a permanent reminder change is happening. to kenya now. authorities have shut down a to kenya now. authorities have shut downa camp to kenya now. authorities have shut down a camp than famous masi murray was highlighted after a video showing them being chased and turned away from. environmentalagency

showing them being chased and turned away from. environmental agency say that camp violated environmental regulations. . this is one of kenya's most fascinating tourist spectacles. every year hundreds of thousands of wildebeest migrate between the reserve in kenya and the serengeti national park in tanzania. it's a bucket list event for taurus and a magnet for investors. but last week this video showed a video of wildebeest crunching a luxury camp crossing their path and them shooing them away fear ca nyo ns fear canyons demanded action. the regulator paid the camp a visit, officials say they camp which is 12 tents officials say they camp which is 12 te nts ha d officials say they camp which is 12 tents had received approvalfor officials say they camp which is 12 tents had received approval for half the number. two structures are within and we have given orders for

immediate removal. the immediately closes. all its operations until a full assessment study. it is done to determine the stability of the camp. at the conference confluence. but this statement denies any wrongdoing. it also regrets the incident and says were only protecting guests who were present at the camp from stampeding animals and a potential loss of life. at spots among the river is premium. you can sell it to guests as a front i’ow you can sell it to guests as a front row seat at the spectacles of all. this also raising questions about creating that balance between attracting taurus and conserving the ecosystem. conservationists are warning the animals like wildebeests are under threat from human activity. roots are being cut off

from structures as their roaming areas shoot further. dozens of camps like these are right next to the river is where the animals drink and cross. we could move that camp but if the wildebeest car somewhere else where there is another camp than we wish we could have a another video next week or next month or next year. i think it's important to carry out an audit. and understand, can we benefit from the ecosystem but can we also protected? when you think about sustainability and attracting natural resources, you wa nt attracting natural resources, you want to be able to use the resource but you also want to make sure that ten, 100 years from now the resources is still there. the camp management and since this was not a traditional wildebeest crossing point and such an incident had never happened since it's been in operation. at the incident has showed how people enjoying the marvels of nature can end up being a danger to nature itself. that is it

from me. don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter — i'm @lvaughanjones good evening. it is shaping up to be a fine settled weekend for the vast majority. a little bit breezy across england and wales but there will be some prime weather, spells of sunshine, just the chance of a shower at times across the south of the uk. more especially the channel islands where you are closest to this world of cloud. an area of low pressure that has been slow moving, close to spain and portugal. it is drifting a little further northward so there is the chance that these weather fronts may fringe just a few showers and at times of the weekend. and on the narrow and thin flank of that system at a brisk easterly wind continuing across the good part of england and wales. some of those shows drifting up to the channel islands through tonight. one or two

could be thundery. low cloud plaguing northern and eastern parts of scotla nd plaguing northern and eastern parts of scotland but not most places will have clear spells. temperature generally holding up between eight and 12 degrees. perhaps a bit cooler for the likes of southern scotland in the south of england. into tomorrow, lots of dry weather. some spells of sunshine. we will have low cloud still plaguing some of those northern and eastern coast of scotla nd northern and eastern coast of scotland for them and some showers moving from the channel islands of 2000 and particularly southwestern parts of england. potentially clipping into the south of wales was that not everyone will see showers at many places stay dry. north a mix of patchy cloud and sunny spells with a rather cool close to north sea coast where you are exposed to the breeze. northern i don't have any decent day with sunshine on the cool side. we will keep some of this low cloud close to the north and eastern coast of scotland. for the most pa rt eastern coast of scotland. for the most part tear it should be bright with some sunshine. through saturday evening still one or two showers down to the south, this area of low is likely to work and learn through southern scotland and northern

england. things here should tend to brighten up as we head to the day on sunday. still the chance of a shower across the far south of the uk and the channel islands. most will be dry. the winds not as strong and southern parts over 23 or 20 for degrees. it will be cooler further north and then into next week there are changes in the forecast. because along this weather front we are going to spin up an area of low pressure. that will bring some wet and fora time pressure. that will bring some wet and for a time blustery conditions. as those various weather fronts move through during next week it will eventually turn much, much cooler.
