controlled by the state. but what 00:00:00,860 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 i've noticed here is... if you have a vaccine that is 60% this is bbc news. new restrictions in the uk. 200,000 dead in america. efficacy, you need 80% of the people to ta ke efficacy, you need 80% of the people to take it. when we start saying we the coronavirus continues to take its toll — will get a vaccine next year, if 80% on people and economies. will get a vaccine next year, if 80% will not take it, we need these the prime minister, borisjohnson, makes a rare address to the nation, rules. look at the influenza appealing for the country to unite. never in our history vaccine. it was 80%, some, perhaps has our collective destiny and our collective health less. that's why the cdc held up a depended so completely on our individual behaviour. mask and said this is your best weapon. we will be right back with in america, it's another grim number. the president says the virus hardly affects anyone, more masks. let's get more on our but the death toll tells a different story. also in the programme: mitt romney, the republican senator democrats had hoped to count on, has announced he will vote top story, the new rules to tackle for president trump's supreme court nominee. the coronavirus in the uk. pubs and and the embarrassed homeowner

restau ra nts the coronavirus in the uk. pubs and restaurants will be subject to a in wales whose second—hand television disrupted the broadband 10pm curfew. the idea of closing network of an entire welsh village for 18 months. pubs and restaurants may not seem like a significant move, but many 's firms say actually, that could cost them up to half of their business. that's because not only would they lose a significant proportion of their evening business, they would also lose that lucrative second hello, i'm katty kay in washington. sitting for dinner. those diners who christian fraser is in london. maybe want to come in at 830 or nine it is a tricky balance to strike — o'clock because they are told these responding to a public health new rules from thursday, the crisis while trying, simultaneously, to defend the fragile uk economy. customers need to be off the in june, the british premises by ten o'clock. that means government was telling people it was their civic duty la st to go to the pub. premises by ten o'clock. that means last orders come much earlier in the injuly, they were instructed evening. we note that the night—time to return to the office. economy is considered to be by august, the chancellor high—risk, as far as the virus is himself was serving pizza, concerned because we are perhaps less likely to be on hearing to even offering to pay half the bill. social distancing rules if we've had and today? a drink or two. been time sudden at well, what a different story it is. an avalanche of new rules, stricter penalties, dire warnings the pub. you can drink until 11 of where the coronavirus o'clock. curve is heading. no wonder the great british

public is confused. democrats' chances of stopping president trump from putting a conservative judge in fairness, borisjohnson had onto the supreme court warned us back injune are dwindling by the minute. these freedoms might be reversed. and other european governments are reacting in similar ways. it's now seems clear that enough these new rules could be republican senators will vote to confirm whoever the president with us for six months. nominates — even though it is very close to the election. and tonight, in his television address to the nation, the prime minister reserved so far, two republicans have opposed the right to impose a rapid confirmation, even tougher restrictions if people fail to comply. but democrats need four i'm deeply, spiritually reluctant to break ranks. they were hoping mitt romney, to make any of these impositions, senator from utah and a frequent critic of mr trump, or infringe anyone's freedom. might be one of them. but he made it clear he'll support the president on this one. but unless we take action, the risk is that we will have to go i'm not going to get for tougher measures later, into the particulars... there are many possibilities when the deaths have already that we can go through, mounted and we have a huge but i've indicated that what i intend to do is to proceed caseload of infection, such as we had in the spring. with the consideration process. and if a nominee actually reaches let's speak to the conservative mp the floor, then i will vote based upon the qualifications andrew bowie, who's also a vice chairman of the party. of that nominee. mr bowie, good to have you with us. that was mitt romney, republican there is criticism in some quarters you have gone too far tonight, and a lot of that princes and is coming senator from utah. let's talk to sheldon whitehouse,

from your own backbenchers. how are democratic senatorfrom rhode island who serves on the senatejudiciary you going to convince them it is a price worth paying? committee. senator, thanks very much for you going to convince them it is a price worth paying ?|i joining us. you have lost this you going to convince them it is a price worth paying? i think it is a price worth paying? i think it is a price worth paying? i think it is a price worth paying. i think anybody battle, haven't you? president trump is going to put another conservative say we have 24 is... we are taking judge onto the supreme court and that will make it a 6—3 court in the the action necessary to save lives conservatives favour. the public and make sure we drive down the gets a voice in all of this, and infection rate, and ultimately what we're doing by taking the action we are today is making sure that we can while leader mcconnell has rushed to back to some semblance of normality line up his caucus, there are a lot of them who are facing voters and this could easily turn into an issue where the voters are not approving sooner, sooner, so of what is going on here. early sooner, so i would age my colleagues or anybody out there the wider polling shows that voters don't approve at all of what is going on country, these are proportionate and reasonable steps ta ken country, these are proportionate and here, so in american government, the reasonable steps taken to mitigate vote rs here, so in american government, the voters who have their say and we'll just have to see how that plays out. coronavirus, drive down the infection rates so that we can get back to some semblance of normality and we also have some efforts that we can bring to the table, sooner back to some semblance of normality sooner rather than later. with some particularly tried to look at the scheming and manoeuvring that has pre—tough penalties. i wonder what gone the scenes in all of this, that has not really been brought to light penalties ministers and conservative yet to the public, so all the votes and peace and special advisers face aren't there and will be don't have

aren't there and will be don't have a magic trick, procedurally, we're of they transgressed these rules. you know what i'm going to refer to. going to fight all the way to the this is a picture of you in finish line. i realise what you're aberdeen, in a pub, and i know you trying to do, you are trying to highlight which states the hypocrisy have apologised for this and in on the other side and you're looking slightly different times, but the at the opinion polls come about point is a real, that people do first of all, the president could tra nsg ress point is a real, that people do tra nsgress rules and bring this, the senate could under point is a real, that people do transgress rules and these are really stiff fines with no appeal. so how are you going to reassure this before the election, in which case the american public won't have people they are not going to fall victim to some of these fines when their say, because the confirmation maybe they have transgressed them would take place before november fairly instantly? -- fairly three, and even if it takes place after, the republicans still have the numbers. i don't how the innocently? i do apologise for these democrats are going to change that. you're not to change any public and mines, are you? it depends. if you're a republican who said you're going to vote in a certain way and instance of breaking the rules as it turns out home state public they were back in august. it's thinks that's terrible, and you're ina important everybody understand how thinks that's terrible, and you're in a close election you might lose important everybody understand how important these rules are. we are now, because of your position, acting to protect public health positions have been known to change, acting to protect public health so positions have been known to change, so that's what i mean about the acting to protect people in the voter pressure here. that remains to united kingdom and make sure we can get back to some sort of summons of be seen how this plays... who are normality, and the message to me you thinking about specifically?”

today, it doesn't matter who you are, if you break the rules, think there are seven or eight today, it doesn't matter who you are, if you breakthe rules, if today, it doesn't matter who you republicans who have gone very are, if you break the rules, if you transgressed, you will be fined. it close, tough races, we need to be is really important. we don't want very watchful about not offending their voters. talking about the to impose these restrictions, we don't want to impose these threats hypocrisy on the republican side, of fines on the british... this but there's hypocrisy on all sides. i'm going to prime minister especially values the back a press release you had when freedom that we have... can you appeal if you are fine? you can merrick garland was nominated. you appeal if you are fine? you can appeal a traffic ticket, can't you? said this... can you appeal this? yes, appeal a traffic ticket, can't you? can you appealthis? yes, i can believe you can, but it is important to people out there realise how it was right for the senate to vote serious this threat is, and that's backin it was right for the senate to vote back in 2016, why is it not right why we have taken the steps today for them to vote in 2020? that's and why the fines are so steep. mr exactly the way that it should have belly, to some extent, the been. the problem is the republicans government bears responsibility for encouraging people to go to change that rule in order to restau ra nts. encouraging people to go to restaurants. when the chancellor said he was what you pay half the bill, sitting here in the united knockout merrick garland and bring states, which was going through a injudge gorsuch, so the hypocrisy spike in the same time, it seemed here is they changed from that tradition and did something to incredibly reckless. we know what believe different, stating that the

happens when people go to restau ra nts, reason was the american people happens when people go to restaurants, they start drinking, deserve to have their say and the you see a surgeon cases. election would be that say, and now restaurants, they start drinking, you see a surgeon cases. why did the government encourage people to do those things, only now to clamp down they've complete the reverse themselves and have gone back to the on them and find them if they do the old rules, so the real apocryphal he very same things? we are not fining was in the gorsuch people going out and supporting local restaurants and pubs. yes, they will be fined. yes, but we're choice —— the real hypocrisy. it's a second hypocrisy when they won't sleep with their own choice when the doing in august is encouraging reverse situation presents itself, saubert say it is double hypocrisy on the other side. 0k, senator people to eat out to help out, to get the economy going again, to make sheldon whitehouse, thank you for joining us from capitol hill. 20 sure pubs and restaurants, on which so sure pubs and restaurants, on which so many people depend for the more coming up joining us from capitol hill. 20 more coming up on joining us from capitol hill. 20 more coming up on the covid story in income, andl so many people depend for the income, and i think that is very the next half—hour. do you stay with important. let's not beat around the us. “— the next half—hour. do you stay with us. —— 20 more. bush here. the numbers look very different injuly hello there. bush here. the numbers look very different in july and bush here. the numbers look very different injuly and august bush here. the numbers look very different in july and august than what they do today, and i think it for a few parts, it turned out to be quite a cloudy day is really important we opened up the but across the midlands and eastern economy when we did, saving jobs, england, we held onto some sunshine for much of the day getting the economy moving again, allowing people to enjoy what brief and that was the scene there in derbyshire earlier on. respite they have had from a

terrible virus. it is very different situation now, not of what we have in the sunshine in suffolk, brought the rules that we have and it became really quite warm, thatis brought the rules that we have and that is why i urge everybody to temperatures reached 26 celsius. but it will get much follow them, so we can proceed, as i colderfor all of us over the next few days. say, get back to some semblance of in suffolk, we are looking at temperatures dropping by 14 normality sooner rather than later. degrees celsius between now and the end of the week. the cold air is on the 0k, andrew bowie, thank you much for way at the moment. it will arrive behind this cold joining us. front that will be pushing who knows how long we're going to be southwards across the uk. that will continue to bring rain for a time across scotland forced to live with this global pandemic and how many more people and northern ireland overnight, will die it spreads? with the rain and skies clearing today, the united states passed later on as that wet weather a significant milestone, 200,000 dead from the disease. trundles its way into england. the latest figures are compiled as the skies clear across the north, byjohns hopkins university. yeah, the official death it will be a much colder night, toll is now 200,284, with cases still rising in over 20 us states, cold enough for a touch of frost including north dakota and utah. keep in mind that in march, on the grass for northern areas president trump said if deaths were between 100,000 and 200,000, of scotland, and england and wales, the country would have stilljust about into that mild air. done a "very good job". through wednesday, the cold front will continue to push southward last night, in swanton, 0hio, he told his audience the disease and eastward, outbreaks affects virtually nobody. of rain all areas. the rain will turn increasingly heavy across the east.

showers follow to western england we now know the disease. and wales, scotland we didn't know it. and northern ireland having the best now we know it. of the dry weather and sunshine, but this is where we will see some it affects elderly people, elderly people with heart of the lower daytime temperatures. problems and other problems. highs of around 12 or 13 degrees. a much cooler feel here. if they have other problems, wednesday evening, it could turn that's what it really affects. that's it. quite windy for a time around some of these southern channel you know, in some states, thousands of people — coasts and the north sea nobody young, below the age of 18. coasts as an area of like, nobody. low pressure forms. they have a strong immune system. that low then spins its way toward scandinavia to replace who knows? by another area of low pressure quickly arriving to our southwest. you take your hat off to the young, so it will be another unsettled day because they have a hell on thursday with heavy outbreaks of rain around, of an immune system. strong winds reaching gale force but it affects virtually nobody. across parts of southwest england, it's an amazing thing. perhaps south wales as well, by the way, open your schools. although the strongest winds will probably arrive thursday everybody, open your schools. night and they could be strong enough to bring down some tree branches. some parts of northern scotland we know that young people have been and perhaps some areas of northern ireland staying drier, hospitalized, of course. but it will be cool for all of us. and it's not "virtually nobody". by comparison, it's more than friday, northerly winds around, three times the number of americans showers or longer spells of rain who died in the vietnam war, coming down on those northerly more than four times winds, affecting the north sea the number who die from coast of scotland and breast cancer every year. it's more than ten times the numbers who are shot dead eastern areas of england. in the "american carnage" to which donald trump

frequently refers. in the wind, it will feel and in comparison, the us still quite chilly and the top has very little of those rules temperatures between 11 and regulations that were imposed tonight on the uk. 0ur north america editor and 13 degrees for many of us, jon sopel is with us. the weekend, still fairly chilly the president says virtually nobody on saturday but the winds eased down is affected, 200,000 americans have on sunday and it will stay on the chilly side. that is your weather. died, people are still getting affected. politically, jon, is he paying a price for the covid situation or have people switch their attention elsewhere? can i do a bit more mass with you? 200,000 have died, globally, if you look at the johns hopkins site which you have ta ken those the johns hopkins site which you have taken those figures from, 906 5000 have died around the world —— 965,000... i think we have lost john. yes, that's a shame, i wanted that maths lesson. i know he was

going, he was gone you say america has 4% of the roads population... he is back. is he back? i finished your math for you, jon. we know each other's mind so well! look, it is way above the average that it should have been. there are five times the numberof us have been. there are five times the number of us deaths where it been relative to the population of this country and ellen tripp is giving himself an a+ for the handling but only a d for the public relations —— and a donald trump is giving himself. how can you give yourself you're watching bbc news with me, an a+? and that is the politically uncomfortable part? millions of katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london. other americans have been affected our top stories... but, yes, a lot of the young people 0nce unthinkable, now a reality. the us has recorded 200,000 have come out of it completely covid—related deaths. we look at new york city, unscathed, but you hear stories of and how the former epicentre is faring today. a most—unusual global gathering.

young doctors dying of this disease. the annual united nations general to hear it is all gone, the assembly has gone virtual, but the issues at stake rear—view mirror, we don't need to worry about this, i still think this are all too real. is an uncovered also in the programme.... arizona finds itself at the cross—section uncomfortable place for duncan to of political currents. how a senate race in be, especially when you look at the the presidential swing state polling data, when 65% of americans could affect the supreme court. got all that? we didn't either. do not think he has done a good job but we'll talk to someone in handling this. and this is who can make sense of it. something you can be sure democrats plus, adding a bit of gender and joe biden will be hammering balance to a moon mission. about for days to come. where do you nasa plans a return to earth's thing we're going to be on election nearest neighbour in 2024, day, which of the all—important day with a man and a woman on board. to come? you've got the seven day average in over 20 states now over 10%. what are the figures going to look like by the time america goes to the polls? they will continue to look bad. it's not going down. i the coronavirus is having, as we are all too aware, a huge impact on both the uk suppose the difference, if you're and the united states' economies. going to compare and contrast, between the uk and the us, the uk coming up, we'll talk to a member of the band mumford and sons who runs two music venues, had a period where it was doing extremely well, in june both on the brink of going under

because of the virus. had a period where it was doing extremely well, injune and july had a period where it was doing extremely well, in june and july and august, and you felt like is getting a fate familiar back to some semblance of normality, to many us businesses andl back to some semblance of normality, and i think there is a shock in and many new york music venues. britain that over the past few days, the city was america's there have been these siren calls epicentre of the virus, from borisjohnson there have been these siren calls from boris johnson and from there have been these siren calls from borisjohnson and from other back in the spring. ministers and the scientists about since then, it has managed to get the infection rate under control, how serious it is, whereas in the but it's still struggling us, ithink how serious it is, whereas in the us, i think people have learned to with the fallout. live with these numbers. i think here's nick bryant with more. that people have got used to the new york has emerged fa ct that people have got used to the fact that there will be a rolling from its coronavirus coma, kind of average of numbers of deaths but it's still suffering in the high hundreds, if not a from the long—haul effects thousand, and so i don't know that of this viral onslaught. it does donald trump any more damage the change of the seasons has that it did a few weeks ago because brought an uptick of activity, i think people have grown used to but the signs of continued these numbers as being the norm. and suffering are everywhere, from boarded—up shops to more i don't think that many people put homeless people on the streets. the numbers in the global there's a new covid cafe perspective, which is what i tried to do at the start. i should also culture, but it's created a misleading sense of revival. say that britain is also scoring very badly on that in the number of almost 3000 small businesses deaths relative to the population. have closed since march, yeah, by and a third of those are restaurants. bar owner chris page says comparison. we will come to that. if the outdoor dining business

you had said to people on new year's model just isn't sustainable. eve, this is what we are going to new york city's dying. face, they would have been amazed, it'll die if restaurants and yet we have come to it. jon, don't reopen. thank for that. i don't have six i mean, it'll truly just. .. i think the economy friends, you're my only friend and will just collapse. this is hudson yards, normally i am with you until 10pm, a skyline changing development that when the pubs are close. but you opened to great fanfare last year, but its flagship department store has filed for bankruptcy. don't have the rules. you can have its shopping mall is largely empty. johnin don't have the rules. you can have john in about 19 others ——jon the ecosystem of manhattan relies don't have the rules. you can have john in about 19 others —— jon and i9 john in about 19 others —— jon and 19 others and you would not break on office buildings that are full. any rules! but september has not yet brought it is very weird. we have guidelines a large—scale return to work, on social distancing and wearing and some have left town for good. masks, and there are those markers in the streets and in shops and so here, for instance, what do stuff, and i go out the door and you think the occupancy is now? eve ryo ne stuff, and i go out the door and everyone is wearing a mask, so yeah, i'd say about 10%. eve ryo ne everyone is wearing a mask, so everyone on my street that i cross 90% empty? is wearing a mask, in the shops. yes. they had wearing masks in commercial property experts like ruth fear the worst. restau ra nts they had wearing masks in restaurants for months, and it i literally feel like i'm acting really struck me in the summer when in a bad sci—fi movie as i i saw the picture of the chancellor walk around new york. in the restaurant serving people and he was not wearing a mask, but i and unfortunately, i think it's wonder with people any rules, they going to get a lot worse come are almost like a safety like it. it the bad weather. must be safe. as opposed to times square has become something

of a barometer for the city, thinking, is the situation in my and this is the busiest it's area such been in the past six months, but it's far from returning to normal. new york has suffered from convulsions in the past. the attacks of september the 11th, the great recession, a fiscal crunch in the 1970s that brought it to the point of bankruptcy. but the widespread fear is that the coronavirus crisis is worse, and will take much longer to recover from. the character of new york is changing and evolving. this, a new drive in movie theatre, where the films get upstaged by the skyline. but it's telling they've had to revive a form of entertainment from the past at a time when there's so much uneasiness about the future. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. changing the way we live, aren't we.

drive—through cinemas coming back. will be for a while. let's get some of the day's other news. there's been a big explosion in the south of lebanon, which security sources say has caused a number of injuries. a witness said blast made the ground shake beneath their feet. it's not yet known what caused the explosion. the south of lebanon is a political stronghold of hezbollah and its ally amal. the high court in britain has issued a ruling that opens the way for two islamic state suspects accused of the torture and murder of western hostages in syria to be tried in the united states. the court lifted a ban on transferring evidence to the us in the case of the men who are currently in us custody in iraq. china's president xi jinping says his country will peak its carbon emissions before 2030 and will aim for carbon neutrality by 2060. the announcement to the un is being seen as a significant step in the fight against climate change. china is the world's biggest source of carbon dioxide, responsible for around 28%

of global emissions. if your entire business model is based around getting hundreds right now, republicans have three more seats needed to approve of the supreme court nominee. there is one seatin supreme court nominee. there is one seat in the chamber that could swap hands before then. this year's rate for arizona since he does what called a special election. republican incumbent martha mcsally never won the seat. she was appointed following john mccain's death, and she's facing a tough race as we mentioned last night from mark kelly, the husband of the state's former congresswoman gabby giffords. in the most recent poll, kelly is ahead by nine points. if that poll proves to be correct and kelly wins on november 3rd, the rules of the special election means he would take up his seat

in the senate as early as november 30th. so, that's where we are headed — arizona, the latest stop in our series, battleground voices. isaid i said that wrong, he's ahead. he is ahead, she is behind. let's go to arizona. radio whb. brian mudd show is on. what do people in singapore make of newsradio 610, wiod. that kind of stricter quarantine yvonne wingett—sanchez, rule? you should preface anything national political reporter for the arizona republicjoins us with public quarantine rules in singapore that the media is now from phoenix. he is ahead by nine points. does that feel about right from where you're sitting? no, it seems a little too high for me. the race has clearly tightened over the last several weeks as we barreled towards the november three election, but by all accounts and measures over the la st all accounts and measures over the last several months, he has been leading in this race. and the race

is tight, mick sally released some internal polling that she believes she is within striking is —— striking distance. how do you see this row affecting the senate race in arizona? who does this play better for? i think what it does is really reaffirm the partisan divide that we have here in arizona. in arizona, i think this really puts conservatives and their corners and it puts liberals in their corners. the key to winning the special election in the senate race in arizona is going to run straight through these independent voters who live on the outskirts of metro phoenix and help decide the 2018 race in which they rejected mcsally. there are a sliver of voters that are undecided and who may be looking really closely at the tactics and

manoeuvres that both democrats and republicans are going to be using as they decide when to move this nomination, how to message on how they like or dislike the nominee and whether or not they should be done before the next president is sworn in injanuary. before the next president is sworn in in january. let's brought in and out from the senate race to the presidential race. arizona is such an interesting state because you got those metro areas like phoenix, tucson, which are kind of trending more democratic, but then you have big areas of the state which are quite conservative. you actually have a big proportion of the state which is quite religious as well. how does trump look compared tojoe biden in arizona? once again, he has been running behind by all measures. if you look at the queues that each of the candidates are sending, you

can see president trump is really worried about the state falling and flipping blue. he was here last week, vice president mike pence and karen pence were here last week, today we hear have donald trump junior and tomorrow we have eric trump. they are really trying to message issues on economic opportunities for latino voters, and that issues of law and order. they are trying to really lay down a steak and really contrast themselves withjoe biden steak and really contrast themselves with joe biden who they say will be a detriment to the police. when it comes tojoe a detriment to the police. when it comes to joe biden, a detriment to the police. when it comes tojoe biden, he has not been to arizona since 2018 when he eulogized the late senatorjohn mccain. that suggests, according to his supporters, he feels pretty comfortable. we do expect some sort

of visit before the election, but it's clear he feels as though he's energised to be anywhere. thanks very much forjoining us. we will have you back on the programme. i was just we will have you back on the programme. i wasjust thinking, when yvonne talked about moving it after the election, does it draw more republicans out if they leave the vote until after they go to the polls on november three?” vote until after they go to the polls on november three? i was having a debate about exactly this a very early this morning with a bunch of strategist, and there's one argument that you have it before the election because that means you don't have to worry about the special election seat and or arizona or the senate ‘s pleading no max —— senate leaning. until after the

election because that galvanises your conservative base. this is how your conservative base. this is how you make sure... if your entire business model is based around getting hundreds of people into a small space then you are in trouble. even before the pandemic, smaller venues were struggling to carve out an existance. indeed, and all the hard work they've put in is danger of unravelling. we're joined by the grammy award winning musician ben lovett — founding member of mumford and sons, owner of two small music venues in london, 0meara and lafayette. it's good to have you with us on the programme. talk to me about lafayette, because i know you put such hard work off the ground. tell us what is happening with it and why this sussexes was so short—lived?

not much is happening right now. it's been a weird and very testing year for us it's been a weird and very testing yearfor us —— the whole gig economy is on its knees, but yeah. it's kind of sad. we've spent two years building the place, and before the pandemic, there was still i believe a lot of hope to be had for venues. it's been a tough ten years, and this is definitely piled up the heat. it's shut right now? what is the state of play? we are shattered. we have flat iron should —— flat iron square. —— we are shuttered. the curfew will be no help to us, along with people who

serve no help to us, along with people who serve drinks. it seems every time we try to come up with a solution, we don't get very far. the government put upa don't get very far. the government put up a culturally fund, one point since billion available, did you get any of that money? how much longer can you keep going? no, we haven't received any of that money. the london mayor has released a small fun, so we are london mayor has released a small fun, so we are very london mayor has released a small fun, so we are very grateful to have received £20,000 of that. just to put that into perspective, after the job retention scheme, whatever we could get our hands on in terms of government hand—outs, we are still looking at a deficit of £1.5 million. goodness. it's pretty drastic, and we think that over the la st drastic, and we think that over the last couple of years, we been contributing again, just our venues have contributed £3 million a year,

itjust feels a have contributed £3 million a year, it just feels a little bit like we are being left behind. there's a lot of us. you seen the new restrictions today, it will be harder in the winterfor today, it will be harder in the winter for people to get together in venues. what does the next six months mean? can you look that far forward ? months mean? can you look that far forward? the prime minister said he thinks six months. our worst—case scenario was looking at the spring. what people think it could go a lot longer than that, but no, what people think it could go a lot longerthan that, but no, i what people think it could go a lot longer than that, but no, i don't see how without some proper government support we won't be in a situation. i don't see what our

options are. make culture happen, when you're not working, this is it. this is spending the poseable income. i don't see what they expect us to do. —— disposable income. i don't know how many times we have to hear people coming on the news saying we are in trouble before this... there's no more that's could be done. it's pretty sad honestly. that's really sad, we are really sorry. we wish you and your employers the best. it's a tough time, so thank you. it's just like, what can you do? there are no real a nswe rs.

what can you do? there are no real answers. it will be a long haul winter. that's going to be a real loss to society, but do stay with us on bbc news. still to come: if you think you have wi—fi problems, this village in wales went without broadband for 18 months, all because of a dodgy old tv. imagine that. sir keir starmer has appealed directly to former labour voters who abandoned the party at the last election to "ta ke another look". giving his first conference speech as labour leader, this is sir keir starmer and he really, really wants you to know thatjeremy corbyn is no longer leader of the labour party. a conference speech in an almost empty room, after four election defeats, presents many challenges. but sir keir‘s message was blunt.

never again will labour go into an election not being trusted on national security, with yourjob, with your community and with your money. that's what being under new leadership means. he didn't mentionjeremy corbyn's name once but he talked about the importance of patriotism and security, seen as weak points for his predecessor. let's be brutally honest with ourselves. when you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to. he didn't hold back on criticism of the prime minister, either, comparing his own legal background with mrjohnson's time as a journalist. it was all about character, he said. this is the big difference between the prime minister and me. whilst borisjohnson was writing flippant columns about bendy bananas, i was defending victims and prosecuting terrorists. once upon a time, keir starmer led parliamentary calls keir starmer wants to show he's made a break with the past, but many former labour voters in leave seats will still see him

as the arch remainer who fought brexit tooth and nail. the policy details will come later. today was all about laying out his personal values and trying to rebuild labour's brand after so many election defeats. the speech was dismissed as a mixture of slogans and platitudes by the left—wing of the party, but sir keir starmer thinks he has plenty of time to explain his plan to voters. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. nasa has outlined a multi—billion dollar plan to return to the moon by 2024. it will be the first time humans have been sent up to the lunar surface since 1972. this time around, a female astronaut will sent along with a male colleague. the ambitious mission relies on congress releasing 3.2 billion dollars in funding. let's speak to the space scientist maggie ederin—pocock.

she got the best backdrop! look at that! you can almost find a moon and that! you can almost find a moon and that somewhere! lovely to have you with us. 50 years, why now? 50 years, last year since apollo 11. 12 people have been on the moon, but none have been women. the moon is capturing our imaginations again. nasa looking at this to explore the re st of nasa looking at this to explore the rest of the solar system, so i think now is a good time. last time, it was a bit of a race between america and russia, but now the chinese have been sending stuff up there, the indians have sent stuff up there, so it will be a bit crowded. the game has changed a lot. it was the cold war, superpowers, ussr versus america, but now the game has

changed. there is a new gene pool. many people have been sending probes to the moon, but since 1972, no one has sent people. sending people to the moon is expensive, so it is quite a strong commitment of sending women quite a strong commitment of sending women to the moon, but also the future of the moon for all of humankind. maggie, you mention the money, a few billion dollars. there's always a big debate, how much money to spend on space explanation, but is there really enough? i get the point about it being possible for mars, is there enough to learn about the moon? is there something valuable we would get out of it? if you compare the moon to the earth, the moon is slightly smaller than asia. may be sort of ten mentions are there, it like sending ten missions to asia and saying we know about the country. we would literally scratch the surface and there's so much more to discover, but i think there is

lots of moon can do for us. we talked about using the lunar soil to make panels, and as the moon makes haste, half of the moon is receiving sunlight for two weeks. we could use and harness some of that energy and bring it down to earth. that sounds like the stuff of thriller movies. is that really possible? some energy on the moon and pipe it down to the earth for energy? yes, a proposal has been there for many years. the thing is, when does it become cost—effective? thing is, when does it become cost—effective ? unless we thing is, when does it become cost—effective? unless we have something established on the moon 's surface, these are too expensive to implement, to return to the moon and looking for a future, these plans become more viable because we have a base to start with. we are going 4g rather than black and white, so this

time, we will see a lot more. there'll be selfies, videos, no more conspiracies theories. my biggest argument about the theories, it was this massive race with ussr and america spending huge amounts of money. if the americans faked it, i think the russians would have said something. i think you might be right. listen, you get the top awards tonight for the best backdrop we've seen so far. i'm jealous. yes, we've seen so far. i'm jealous. yes, we arejealous. we've seen so far. i'm jealous. yes, we are jealous. thank you very much indeed for being here tonight and enlightening us on the moon travel. you know how you said it was crowded up you know how you said it was crowded up there? i think maddyjust debunked that whole theory. you got this massive place, only ten people —— maggie.

this massive place, only ten people -- maggie. let me tell you something else extra terrestrial. nothing in the world is more infuriating that a bad internet connection. and the good people of aberhosan in rural wales know that perhaps more than anyone. for the last 18 months, the entire village's internet connection has been cutting out. at precisely 7am. the network engineers called in to help were baffled. replacing the cables made no difference. and it wasn't until they used a special monitoring device they found the culprit. an old television set which one villager was turning on every morning at 7am. so old it was emitting an electrical pulse that was taking down the entire village's internet. the owner is said to have been ‘mortified' when they learnt of the problem. apparently they've agreed to switch it off and never use it again. or maybe just buy a new television?!

do you know that open reach sent engineers to solve this? apparently it's a very small place and there's not much accommodation, so they had to stay 55 miles away and commute every day to try and find this pulse. apparently, they were walking around with this sort of signal finder, trying to find this television and they couldn't find it until he switched his television on at 7am every morning! found the culprit. see you tomorrow. hello there. tuesday marks the autumn equinox, and it was perhaps with this in mind that one of our weather watchers sent us this picture from the wakefield area. elsewhere, plenty of sunshine around, particularly so across the midlands and eastern areas of england, and in

the sunshine across east anglia, even though we went into the first day of autumn, it was very warm. 26 degrees celsius. but it's going to get cooler for all of us over the next few days, and by the end of the week, we're looking at temperatures ofjust 12 degrees in parts of suffolk, so a drop of 14 degrees celsius between now and then. the colder air is arriving behind this cold front here, that's currently spreading rain southwards and eastwards, and through wednesday, it is going to be quite a wet day across england and wales, the rain turning increasingly heavy across parts of eastern england as we go on through the afternoon. at the same time, the rain does clear away from scotland and northern ireland. here, it will be drier and sunnier, but we'll also have some of the lowest temperatures in the country — 12 or 13 degrees. there could be a few showers for western areas of england and wales to watch out for as well, and then as we go towards wednesday evening, an area of low pressure looks to develop along the front, and so it could get quite windy around some of our north sea coasts and also around some of our english channel coasts for time as that low pressure

develops and then spins out of the way towards scandinavia. it will be followed very quickly by the next area of low pressure quickly moving into the south—west, so it's another unsettled day in forecast for thursday, the area of low pressure bringing some heavy outbreaks of rain swirling around the centre of low pressure, and some strong winds. we're talking about gales developing across the south—west. indeed, those winds will probably strengthen further into thursday night and could be strong enough to bring down some tree branches, so a blustery day. cooler air spreading right the way across the country, with those temperatures dropping across the board. 0n into friday and a cold northerly wind will be blowing across all areas, quite a brisk wind at that. showers or lengthier outbreaks of rain affecting the north sea coasts of england, a few showers elsewhere, but there will be some areas inland that stay dry with sunshine. temperature—wise, about 9 degrees in lerwick, feeling colder in the northerly wind, 14 degrees in london. obviously a lot colder than we've been used to so far this autumn. heading into the weekend,

we've got a ridge of high pressure that's going to be moving in for a time, so those brisk winds will slowly ease down ahead of the next weather system that will be arriving late on sunday. so, saturday, on the face of it, not a bad day. the winds still quite brisk across northern and eastern areas and, yes, there will be some further showers running down our north sea coasts. sunny spells inland after another chilly start to the day. temperatures about 10 to 13 degrees or so for most of us, maybe 14 for cardiff and for plymouth. the second half of the weekend, we've still got northerly winds with us, but they won't be blowing as strongly. still a few showers left over, potentially, down some of our north sea coasts but, otherwise, after a cold start to the day, maybe with a few mist and fog patches around, we should have dry weather for many areas with spells of sunshine. still cool, though. temperatures for most about 10 to 14 degrees, but 15 for cardiff and plymouth. into next week, there is some uncertainty about what the weather does, and it all hinges on this big trough in the jet stream. it looks like it's going to be

unsettled across the northwest of the uk, but if that trough breaks apart, as it could do, leaving a cut—off low about here, well, the south could be dry or it could be unsettled. we're not sure yet. check back tomorrow and we'll have another look.

the uk is said to be at a "perilous tipping point" in the fight to contain the pandemic. in a change of policy, office workers in england are now told to stay at home if possible, as the prime minister outlines new restrictions. unless we take action, the risk is, we will have to go

for tougher measures later, when the deaths have already mounted and we have a huge caseload of infection. pubs and restaurants will only have table service and will have to be closed by 10pm, and tougher rules on wearing face masks will be imposed. it is a bit shocking, and annoying. because we've obviously got out of lockdown,
