for our economies, then we support for our economies, then we are facing serious, serious economic meltdown. unless we get rid of the kind of draconian lockdown measures and help people live with the virus, rather than be scared witless. about going to work or going out are going to see her family. going to work or going out are going to see herfamily. in going to work or going out are going to see her family. in the central banks have been doing the support so far. they have been printing as much money as they can get away with, supporting the government schemes that are trying to underpin workers wages so that are trying to underpin workers wages so that we don't have the same situation that we had in the 1930s. and i do think that there is a defining moment coming in congress ahead of the election, where the president, and i think in this case, would rightly be said, we have got to support the economy. we've got to have some kind of economic

assistance to make sure that we don't create a vicious spiral where the collapse of confidence in the health service, which in the states is nothing like our amazing national health service, they have a very different system. but the collapse in confidence around the country in the health situation could then spiral into a collapse in confidence across main street america. that's absolutely fascinating, that link. i just want to look at the photo on the front page of the financial times. it's really touching, just explain what it is. american flags inafield, explain what it is. american flags in a field, the covid memorial project in washington. quite moving. these delays over these economic

stimulus packages, ironically, just having the delays themselves makes problems worse because people are more scared. they don't go about and ‘s more scared. they don't go about and ns __ more scared. they don't go about and ‘s —— go out and spend so damage is done and there are calls for more intervention from the us. yes, and of course, with an election going on, the stimulus package is something that has been debated as a political thing between the democrats and republicans. in this country, what we've had, is sort of tory socialism. the government giving out lots of money in the furlough scheme, and of course companies have have to borrow a lot of money. something like 57 billion, which 80% has been subsidized by the treasury. how long that scheme will go on isa treasury. how long that scheme will go on is a varied available proposition. —— very debatable. there should be looked at as a very

interesting points of light the front page of the guardian has exactly that story. german style scheme could replace furlough. if there down at the bottom. justice plane was going on. the furlough scheme will carry on basically, the idea was it would come to an end. the chancellor is considering whether to come to an end, but there are voices within the treasury. of a german style wage subsidy where workers work a certain numberof subsidy where workers work a certain number of hours subsidy where workers work a certain numberof hours and subsidy where workers work a certain number of hours and get paid a certain amount of money. some other money would be paid by the state to the workers. the productive process goes along and keeps moving, and industry keeps moving. rishi sunak whether he will consider that a not

is debatable, but it has kept the m autonomy going. a lot of people feel the economy should have been crashed in this way. and we went too far in trying to stop the pandemic. ros, i wa nt trying to stop the pandemic. ros, i want you to come in. i definitely wa nt want you to come in. i definitely want you to come in. i definitely want you to come in. i definitely want you to speak on the pension story, so just want you to speak on the pension story, sojust add on want you to speak on the pension story, so just add on to what mihir was saying. i think there are a lot of seams being considered by the treasurer at the moment. furlough has been a blanket scheme. they are now considering supporting specific sectors. some now considering supporting specific sectors. some areas of now considering supporting specific sectors. some areas of the economy have been 0k sectors. some areas of the economy have been ok or done quite well during the pandemic. but there are specific areas, hospitality, entertainment, those kind of areas, travel in particular. if they aren't supported further, i think there will be serious economic consequences. this is your moment.

the front page of the daily telegraph. state pensions to rise as triple lock survives. basically the government is bringing forward legislation tomorrow. similarly to what was done in the financial crisis of 2009, whereby the government will be allowed to increase state pensions even though average earnings are falling this year. the low at the moment —— the log requires any pension increase to be based only on whether average earnings have been increasing. if they don't anyone year, the law can't increase the state pension either. in the current emergency circumstances, and given the government's commitment, it would have been very difficult for the

government to actually say to pensioners, "i'm sorry, but we can't increase the state pension at all this year." therefore we need to get this year." therefore we need to get this legislation, which means the government can keep its promise. come next year when there might be a huge increase, hopefully, an average earnings as we bounce back from the current crisis and get out of furlough, that's where the government will have a very much more difficult to citizen. i think it's actually right we must protect pensioners. we are out of time but i'm delighted we have time to get your expertise on that. there's no way i was interrupting you on your specialist subject. that's all we've got time forfor this specialist subject. that's all we've got time for for this hour. thank you. we will chat again. if you're in the uk, ros and mihir will be back injust over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here.

from me, luis onjones, bye—bye. —— lewis vaughan jones. good evening. i'm gavin ramjaun and this is your latest sports news. more on the postponement of fans returning to matches to come. manchester united are through to the fourth round of the efl cup after a three—nil win at luton town. the championship side were a match for united throughout most of the first half, but george moncurfouled brandon williams in the box just before half time, and juan mata converted from the spot. luton continued to compete bravely, but united sealed victory with two late goals from marcus rashford and mason greenwood. here are the rest of this evening's league cup third round scores. the match between leyton orient and tottenham was postponed because a ‘number of orient players' tested positive for coronavirus. it's still to be decided whether

that match will be rescheduled. elsewhere league 2 newport beat championship side watford 3—1. brentford knocked out premier league west brom on penalties, and west ham beat hull 5-1. before west ham's match this evening, their manager david moyes and two of the club's players tested positive for covid—i9. moyes defender issa diop and midfielderjosh cullen will now be required to self—isolate for at least ten days, so they'll miss training and the league game against wolves on sunday. west ham said the three were all asymptomatic and assistant manager alan irvine took charge of the hull match. wales have lost 1—0 to norway in their women's euro 2022 qualifier in oslo, which was their first game since march. norway had won all four of their group games so far, and chelsea's guro reiten scored the only goal as they made it five out of five in oslo. the result leaves wales second in group c, seven points behind norway.

we knew it would be a tough test against norway. they are a great side. i thought the girls put in a great shift and we ought to work hard, because norway would have a lot of the ball and we had to defend really well. obviously, they took it well, but i think we probably could have nicked the goal to potentially get the good drawl, but obviously, it didn't go our way. there was one game in rugby union's premiership this evening, and bath have almost guaranteed their spot in the playoffs after a bonus point win over gloucester at the rec. the game was due to have 1000 home fans in attendance, but they were told not to come just a few hours before kick—off due to the rise in coronavirus cases. but bath gave their fans something to cheer about from home, coming back from 17 points down to take a massive 31 points to 20 win. so, fans are not able to return to sporting events in england until the end of march at the earliest, and the premier league has voiced its concern in a statement. it says:

here's the reaction of chelsea boss frank lampard. we all seriously want fans back in because that's what the premier league is all about, having fans and having that interactions. it heightens the atmosphere and we want that. so it certainly isn't getting us that. so it certainly isn't getting us down, wejust that. so it certainly isn't getting us down, we just want them back badly in a controlled manner. let's hope he can buy that way as soon as possible. scottish first minister nicola sturgeon has said the phased return of fans in the scottish premiership from 5 october is now "unlikely". further pilot events are on hold with the situation to be reviewed again in three weeks. it means fans inside celtic park for the first old firm game of the season, on the 17th of october, is also unlikely, while scotland's matches

against israel on the 8th of october and slovakia three days later will be behind closed doors. indoor recreational team sports such as netball, basketball and five—a—side football won't be able to continue under the new coronavirus restrictions, which limit numbers taking part to six. over 100 sport and leisure leaders have written to borisjohnson calling for a sports recovery fund to help them through the pandemic. one of the first people to sign that letter was paralympic legend baroness tanni grey thompson. perhaps i understood... to build the economy and think about the health of the nation, which is incredibly important right now. so it does seem with lots of things that are going on that the sector has just been forgotten. it's very precarious. there's a potential for 48% of local precision —— provision to disappear. not all of those centres are in

places where people from poor backgrounds come from, but a significant number of them are. looking at the sector, it has 600,000 people. because it's not may be immediately that the size and scale of the sector is not immediately known, people don't realise the impact this could have on the health of our nation. it has massive long—term implications for the health of everybody. finally, england'sjofra archer was in sparkling form in the indian premier league this afternoon, but this time, it was his batting rather than lightning quick bowling that did the damage. archer hammered four sixes as he made 27 not out, from just eight balls for his side the rajasthan royals. he later took a wicket as well, as the royals ran out winners by 16 runs against the chennai super kings in sharjah. and that's all the sport for now.

hello there. tuesday marks the last day of the warm and sunny weather we've been experiencing of late. it's going to be replaced by some much cooler, autumnal weather. the cool air coming in behind this cold front which is spreading southwards and eastwards through wednesday, so a chilly start, scotland, northern ireland. but here, probably the best of the sunshine. most of england and wales rather cloudy, outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy and persistent as it pushes its way eastwards. it will also turn quite windy across eastern coastal areas later on. and a cool day, 13 to maybe 19 degrees in the south east. one area of low pressure clears northwards, only to be replaced by another one as we head on into thursday. so, it's going to be unsettled again for much of the country, with showers, longer spells of rain, a bit of sunshine in between, probably the best of it across northern scotland. it'll be windy as well, especially south wales and south west england. and those temperatures range from around 12 to 1a or 15 degrees, so feeling much cooler for all. for friday and into the weekend, looks like we'll see quite

a bit of sunshine around, but it's going to stay cool both by day and by night.
