hello, good morning, welcome to bbc news, i'm victoria derbyshire, here are the headlines. a warning of tougher measures if people don't stick to the latest coronavirus rules announced yesterday by the prime minister. we want to make sure that as we go into christmas, we've got the virus under control, we don't have the risk of a further national lockdown with all the impact on businesses, on families, on our society, and this is the targeted approach, from tomorrow, masks must be worn and doors will have to close at ten p and doors will have to close at ten pm. and doors will have to close at ten p m. another hammer blow. i'm at a restau ra nt p m. another hammer blow. i'm at a restaurant in london. also — a warning there could be queues of up to 7,000 lorries in kent waiting to travel into the eu after the brexit transition period ends. russian opposition figure alexei navalny is discharged from hospitalfollowing novichok

poisoning — doctors believe a complete recovery is possible. women should be protected under expanded hate crime laws the law commission says. if you've experienced misogyny — verbal abuse, wolfwhistling, unwanted sexual advances — do let me know this morning. coming up — stella moris, the fiance ofjulian assange speaks out in her first bbc interview, telling me how she dreaded going public with their relationship which had been kept secret for five years. i'm worried about you know, the kids. i'm worried about myself. i'm worried about how things can be twisted and that we be treated with dignity because i've witnessed how gillian has not been treated with dignity.

more warnings from the government this morning that if people don't follow new coronavirus rules — tougher curbs lie ahead. in his televised address to the nation the prime minister warned the latest measures could last for six months. this morning foreign secretary dominic raab said that everyone must ‘play by the rules' — to avoid the risk of a national lockdown at christmas. so office workers in england should now work from home if possible. that was always the case in scotland, wales and northern ireland. pubs and restaurants will only have table service and will have to be closed by 10pm and customers will have to wear a face mask unless they're seated. there'll be stricter penalties too in england with a fine of £200 if people don't wear a mask or if the ‘rule of six' is broken. the scottish government has gone further — from today people will be banned from visiting other households. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake reports. a prime minister addressing the nation on television is not as rare as it was. but even during a pandemic,

it is still a big moment. after announcing new restrictions in england, borisjohnson said a new national effort was needed. ..single greatest weapon we bring to this fight is the common sense of the people themselves. the joint resolve of this country to work together to suppress covid now. and to those who say "we don't need this stuff" and "we should leave people to take their own risks", i say these risks are not our own. the tragic reality of having covid is that your mild cough can be someone else's death knell. and as for that minority who may continue to flout the rules, we will enforce those rules with tougher penalties and fines of up to £10,000. we will put more police out on the streets and use the army to backfill, if necessary. last orders will come earlier

from now on for the next six months perhaps, and a warning that further measures might be necessary. if people don't follow the rules we've set out, then we must reserve the right to go further. it's another blow for businesses, already struggling. "but stick with it for now", the prime minister urged, "and better days lie ahead". now is the time for us all to summon the discipline and the resolve and the spirit of togetherness that will carry us through. from labour, backing for the new rules but criticism of the government's response overall. it's right that these national restrictions have been announced, but we shouldn't have been here. if he had fixed the testing and tracing regime, if he hadn't let it descend into the mess that it's become, we could've avoided these restrictions today. new restrictions are coming to every part of the uk. all four leaders spoke

directly to the public. scotland going furthest at this point. i know that all of this has been incredibly tough and, six months on, it only gets tougher. but never forget that humanity has come through even bigger challenges than this one. and though it doesn't feel like it now, this virus will pass. with new rules will come a new test for the public‘s patience, and for our leaders and their response to coronavirus. jonathan blake, bbc news. 0ur political correspondentjessica parker is at westminster. we could have to do this for six months, we have got to gird our loins. i think that was one of the m essa 9 es loins. i think that was one of the messages the government is trying to hit him yesterday, that we are in this now for the long haul. boris johnson talking about things being better by spring, which is some distance away from christmas when he previously talked about this idea of

hopes that a significant return to normality by the end of this year. trying to probably prepare the nation psychologically for what comes ahead. interestingly this morning, dominic raab has been pressed on the timeline going ahead and he talked about trying to get the virus under control by christmas. i think in the help and also a tactic of persuasion as well, to say with the rules so we don't have to have a lockdown heading into christmas. this is what he had to say this morning. a stitch in time saves nine. we want to make sure as we go into christmas that we got the virus under control, we don't have the risk of a further national lockdown without the impact oi'i national lockdown without the impact on businesses, on families and society and this is the targeted approach, weighing very carefully all the advice that we've had from scientists that the government has taken. i'm just scientists that the government has taken. i'mjust listening scientists that the government has taken. i'm just listening to what you are saying, i think you said we wa nt to

you are saying, i think you said we want to have the virus under control by christmas? is that what you said? we've come through the peak, we got the virus down in terms of hospitalisation rates and death rates but we've seen an uptake and cases. we want to make sure that doesn't expand, we want to make sure we don't lose games we have already made so there is a risk at this moment that suddenly we see that flare up, not just moment that suddenly we see that flare up, notjust localised but it becomes a national problem and we risk, the risk is we end up in a second national lockdown. the measures we are taking makes sure that doesn't happen. clearly it is the politics of persuasion and it is interesting to look at how arguments are being framed already should further restrictions have to be brought in. boris johnson further restrictions have to be brought in. borisjohnson has basically been saying follow the rules or else wears the labour party have been saying yesterday that while they support the new restrictions because they may be a

necessity, those new restrictions we re necessity, those new restrictions were not inevitable and further restrictions wouldn't be inevitable and they would put the blame at the government do because of issues on things of testing. we can speak now to professor stephen reicher, who's on the scientific advisory group for emergencies, or sage, as it's known. you're talking to us from the university of st andrews, i will bt about the scottish situation but first of all, what do think the impact of the extra restrictions in england will be? i think the government is right, was inevitable. their line, government is right, was inevitable. theirline, a government is right, was inevitable. their line, a stitch in time, makes sense. the only option we had was to do something now or have to do even more later. i think it is right there has to be restrictions u nfortu nately. there has to be restrictions unfortunately. do they go far enough? i think that it's right they are not just about what we do enough? i think that it's right they are notjust about what we do in home but in all domains of our life so home but in all domains of our life so implicitly i think if not

explicitly the government have accepted that it was wrong to pressure people to go back to work and equally it was wrong to hand over responsibility for making workplaces safe stop many employers have been very good but that is not enough, it is really important to have clear, legal processes to ensure workplaces are safe before you ask people to go back to them. equally it is very important to have robust procedures to make sure that all hospitality is safe so i think sadly, these are inevitable but i think they are the right sorts of things to do. my concern is twofold. firstly, the government is arguing as if if people don't obey the bills is because they are of ill will, that they don't want to but what we saw earlier on in the pandemic was that many people couldn't abide by lockdown for practical reasons. they couldn't stay in and put foot on the table so i would like to see more about how you support people to do the right thing so we can obey these

restrictions and i would also like to see slightly more about the testing system because apart from a reference to the possibility of wonderful new technology that we don't have yet, there was very little about the simple and practical steps we need to make sure the testing system works to make sure that the tracing system works and to make sure that we support people to self—isolate. it is an inevitable and important package and i think there are elements of it about which we need to see a lot more. you said implicitly not explicitly, they've accepted it was wrong to pressure people to go back to work, is that what you get from your conversations with downing street? number one, when asked about whether it was a mistake in parliament, boris johnson said whether it was a mistake in parliament, borisjohnson said no but the very fact they are chasing __ my but the very fact they are chasing —— my changing the advice and saying to work at home and now implies it was not a good idea not only to go

to work but to tell people they would lose their jobs to work but to tell people they would lose theirjobs if they went back to work. it is fully important that people work from home if they can and that we have robust procedures, not a witch and a prayer, but robust procedures to make sure before anyone goes back to the workplace, it is safe and covid—i9 are safe. there was a survey last week which showed that 46% of employers say they haven't managed to socially distance their workplaces. 38% of the most honourable workers set their have been no mitigations against covid—i9 and that is something we have to change. we have to measure everyone is safe at home in the workplace and in leisure places and for that, you cannot do it on a wish and a prayer, you need proper robust procedures. do you believe that it out to help out was a mistake? number one, there seems to be evidence that transmission was increased in that way. there is american evidence showing people invited were twice as

likely as being invited in a bar or restau ra nt likely as being invited in a bar or restaurant but at the same time, i think it's really important that certain businesses and the workforce is taking a hit, they have to be supportive —— my supported. for instance, i think in the case of pubs, ithink instance, i think in the case of pubs, i think the reduction from iipm pubs, i think the reduction from 11pm to 10pm, it is a token. it sends a signal and i very much hope it works. but i think we got to be open to limiting it more because in the end, as everybody says, these are choices. number one, if we do too little now, we will have to do more later and secondly, we got to have priorities and our priority, and againi have priorities and our priority, and again i agree with the prime minister when he says education is the first priority. if kids cannot go to school, it is notjust that they waste their time that they are all, it can affect them for the rest of their lives. at some point we got

to ask, what is more important, a pint or your child's education? tough choices. that is not that tough a choice, i cannot imagine any body saying a pint is more important. what is nicola sturgeon doing? households are not allowed to mix with each other whereas in england you are allowed to capture six people. has nicola sturgeon gone too far? i think the approach which says let us learn from the past. what happened in march is that we did too little and too late we looked down, probably eight week late and that had a huge consequence in terms of the number of lives lost soi in terms of the number of lives lost so i think acting early and being able to relax is better than not doing enough and having to do more. i think that approach makes sense. so borisjohnson should stop households mixing from each other?” think the real difference between

borisjohnson think the real difference between boris johnson and nicola think the real difference between borisjohnson and nicola sturgeon was not in the household rules, i think it was in the way they related to the public. for borisjohnson, his message was very much that it is the public that has got it wrong and it is the public who has got to take responsibility for changing. nicola sturgeon's message was, she refused to blame the public, she accepted the spike in infections is not necessarily because people have been doing the wrong thing and she said it is everybody‘s responsibility to deal with this that it is the government is responsible at eight to support the public so they can do the right thing. if you treat the public as a partner and if you show respect for the public, they are far more likely to respond to you. in terms of getting adherents, you are far more likely to get people to ta ke far more likely to get people to take their own responsibility seriously if you take irresponsible at it seriously. i think the partnership approach came very clearly through what she was saying.

avoiding blame, asking the question of what can government do to help people and then you're in a position to ask the public to take responsibility. for me that was the core difference between nicola sturgeon and boris johnson core difference between nicola sturgeon and borisjohnson in that respect and i think borisjohnson should be taking more of a partnership approach. if you want to get us on board, don't blame us. like you very much. —— thank you very much. a ban on people visiting other people's homes has been introduced in scotland. the measure was already in place for more than 1.5 million people living in and around glasgow, where local restrictions began earlier this month. bars, pubs and restaurants will also be required to close at 10pm from friday. a little earlier the deputy first minister of scotland john swinney explained the ban on visiting people's homes. as we look at the emergence of particular elements of transmission,

it is clear that household transmission is a factor in that equation. couple of weeks ago, we had to apply some restrictions in large areas of the west of scotland where from the data, it appeared household transmission was contributing to this rise in coronavirus. what we have seen in the course of the last few weeks where that restriction has been applied is some tempering of the increase in coronavirus. so we are optimistic that the moves we are making, which we recognise i difficult for people and disruptive people, will have the effect of containing coronavirus at a critical time. lorna gordon is in glasgow for us. what is the reaction from people in scotland? what is the reaction from people in scotland ? it what is the reaction from people in scotland? it is interesting with the professor has just said about the messaging and i think that does, it is being a college here in scotland, the language the first minister is

using when she says that restrictions are having to be tightened on her televised address she said to the people here in scotland, i am sorry to be asking you for more. she also said that we are all struggling with this. she is trying to say we are in it together. as you mentioned, parts of west central scotland, about a third of the population have been under these restrictions now for three weeks and it is now right across the country. difficulty though comes in areas where perhaps the prevalence of the virus is still quite low, perhaps the islands, that was pointed to by the islands, that was pointed to by the secretary of state for scotland energy this morning. he said that health is devolved but he doesn't agree with the one size fits all approach. now the scottish government's response to that which be that the numbers are rising very fast here in scotland and if they are in one area, inevitably they

will spread to others and that every mainland part of scotland had positive results for covid—i9 yesterday. they also say there has to be consistent and clear messaging when it comes to this household band. that said, it will be reviewed in three weeks' time but i think it sounds like it's possibly unlikely it will be relaxed then because on top of the household band, they are also warning that this idea of a heartbreak, a mini lockdown is still under review and they are warning families not to take foreign holidays over the half break term. pubs, cafes and restaurants in wales will also have to shut at 10pm from tomorrow. supermarkets and off—licences will also be banned from selling alcohol after 10.00 each night. the first minister, mark drakeford, has also urged people not to travel unless absolutely necessary.

it is advice to people, it won't be policed in the conventional sense. we are simply appealing to people to think very carefully about journeys a make. earlier in the year when we had a formal lockdown message to people in wales, that was undoubtedly successful in protecting the south—west and the north of wales from the spread of this virus. the more people we meet, the more journeys we make, the more risks we run to ourselves and others. so it is an appeal to people to think carefully about those journeys. if they are necessary, you must make them but they are not necessary, please don't travel unless you had to. that is the message here in wales. people are also no longer allowed to visit each other‘s homes in northern ireland. the restrictions were brought in last night. first minister arlene foster called it a "wake up call". northern ireland is the only part of the uk not to introduce curfews for bars and restaurants. the northern ireland executive will meet tomorrow to consider further measures.

chris page is in belfast for us. restrictions are in today, how are people reacting? on the whole, people reacting? on the whole, people are pretty supportive though it is interesting that ministers in rolling out is measures across northern ireland have been careful to acknowledge that it is tough. the first minister arlene foster for example spoke about how northern ireland was noted for its hospitality so it certainly wouldn't come natural to people not to have people in their house for the foreseeable future. but she said that this was what was necessary in order to stop an alarming spread of the virus. the deputy first minister michelle 0'neill sinn fein said that ministers had to sound the alarm bells loud and clear. both of them emphasised they were some exceptions to the rule that you couldn't socialise in peoples homes, perhaps

most notably, you can bubble up with one other household so if you only go to their house and they only come to yours, you can continue to ch other inside provided you don't go to anybody else's home. also if you wa nt to to anybody else's home. also if you want to get together in private gardens, you can still do that but there will a six applies, only six people from two different households, though children under 13 are excluded from that. there is still talk of a short lockdown of two weeks perhaps in a month or so. that is something that executive ministers are keeping in mind. more pressing though, hospitality industry regulations, ministers meeting tomorrow to decide what new reels to put in place for pubs and restau ra nts. reels to put in place for pubs and restaurants. it sounds like there will be a curfew, and clear if it will be a curfew, and clear if it will be a curfew, and clear if it will be 10pm or something later. in the irish republic, it has been said to 11: 30. the 10pm curfew for pubs,

bars and restaurants in england will come into force tomorrow night. it's another blow to the hospitality industry which was just starting to come back to life after lockdown. nina warhurst is at a restaurant for us in london this morning. i wish you could smell this in here. we have some lemons being peeled and loveless smell is coming from a smoked corn there on the grill. these guys have only been open about 18 months so you can just imagine how much revenue the last six of those have sacked from this place. let us remind ourselves of the measures that were confirmed yesterday. in england as of 10pm tomorrow, but said restaurants must have their doors locked by 10pm so not as orders, doors closed. it will be table service only so no milling around chatting to friends or if you see a stranger you undertook to, none of that is allowed. this was just as hospitality was getting

going last month we had the help of scheme and that production for vat which gave it a boost but even with those measures, we know that around a quarter of the 115,000 licensed venues a quarter of the 115,000 licensed venues didn't open at all. little wonder that around 100,000 jobs have already gone on hospitality. we went toa bar already gone on hospitality. we went to a bar in manchester last night as the news sunk in. a tougher package of national measures. . . a tougher package of national measures... i've heard of worse things that people can't go out to late but it doesn't affect me to much. people are not really willing to go out especially in small buildings, the fear is tell there in peoples minds. i think it will affect the pub. not so much the curfew. it is my own impossible. we are heavily reliant on the footfall.

we will be at capacity and i think we are going to have to take measures to pull last orders earlier and take measures to enable it so we stop selling beer so we can get people out. as i understand, it is doors closed and all customers out by 10pm so it will be incredible difficult. the world has to keep turning and if we all play the game, we all wear masks when appropriate, is not a game because it's serious but it has to be approached as a game. play a game. it's not forever. it's not hard work, is it? notan it's not hard work, is it? not an easy game when you are trying to keep people injobs. let's speak with two people he opened a late night bar in soho only last week. yesterday, how did you feel? the

mode was up in soho, it was less on the street. we had a lot of cancellations and we are thinking, i am worried but we will take it as it comes. 80% of our trading was done after ten or 11pm so we will see. comes. 80% of our trading was done after ten or 11pm so we will seem itan after ten or 11pm so we will seem it an option to open earlier or is it an option to open earlier or is it not that kind of place? it is not that kind of place. it is a basement so it is much more late—night. we will see. we are considering options. soho is so vibrant, it has a strong night—time economy, will it survive and be back to what it was because mike in july survive and be back to what it was because mike injuly there was a good mood coming through. because mike injuly there was a good mood coming throughm because mike injuly there was a good mood coming through. it will come back, the question is how long it will take. you had four paces across london. 0ne it will take. you had four paces across london. one has a ready had to close, when you look ahead to christmas, such a fundamental part of the calendar for hospitality, how are you feeling about that? you

cannot plan. usually i normally go back home to dublin and for the first time i'm not going to do that. i cannot travel so one part of me is thinking, what will be do and we won't get the business trade if people but the restaurant but on the other hand, nobody is going anywhere, maybe people will stay in london and we will get something out of it. you were saying earlier that one of your biggest concerns about the restrictions and your head chef was saying the same, all of your staff wearing masks. a place like this, designed to be relaxed, what will the impact of a? i am concerned that people are going out to socialise to get away from the fear of this disease. people don't want to be reminded of it, they want to come in socialise and forget about

your worries. when you are faced with that with the facemasks, just reminding everybody that it is still around. the help is it will do the job long—term. rumours this week that the chancellor is going to extend certain measures to support the hospitality industry, what would you like to hearfrom him? the hospitality industry, what would you like to hear from him? fellow is a big thing for us. it really helped us. the eight out to help out scheme was also beneficial. we all need help basically. yes, if there an extension to that but also, fellow is the big one really. and just hoping that we don't get close down again. we heard yesterday that the people who run bars and restaurants and for us customers, six more months of this. it will not be easy. we are going to have to take a deep breath stop stop with the new restrictions

in place from tomorrow, how will they be enforced? the prime minister announced an increase of police presence to ensure the rules are adhered to, however, the police federation say they had no prior warning either from downing street or the home 0ffice. their national chair, john apterjoins me now. borisjohnson said we will put more police out on the streets and use the army to battle if necessary, how did you react when you heard that? we were surprised because we had no extra officers. you and i have spoken before about the very damaging to policing and other public sectors in the last number of yea rs public sectors in the last number of years and we are just starting to scrape ourselves back to trying to get you a sense of normality but we don't have enough officers to match the demand that we are facing. the demand we are facing now is pre—covid—19 limits and greater and in addition to that, we are having to police this pandemic so it is

surely difficult and when the prime minister mentioned the military, that came as a great surprise. i am pleased that clarity has been given today but when the announcement was made, many people and some of the media made an assumption, understandably, that the military would be on the street enforcing this. that is not what policing needs. we work with the military really well in terms of crisis. we have been since the beginning of this pandemic and long may that continue but we don't need the military on the streets with us. how do you understand that the military will be used then? now that clarity has been given, if the police wanted, if i just has been given, if the police wanted, if ijust put it into context, what happens in times of crisis and certainly after terrorist incidents in the past, their arms officers have been removed from protecting certain buildings like parliament, downing street or nuclear establishments and the

military will take that role. then the armed officers can then be used to do what we need them to do. that is if the police need it. we don't need more armed police officers on the straight but this crisis. it is a very different type of crisis so i get to understand what police will ask the military to do other than what they are doing already which is helping with the logistics, getting really critical infrastructure from ato b, really critical infrastructure from a to b, helping with the hospitals. they built hospitals from scratch, helping with the testing so it is helping with the testing so it is helping all the other agencies, that is working really well but let me make it really clear, we do not have loads of officers just waiting to jump loads of officers just waiting to jump into action that we are not already using. the officers we have now are already working extra shifts, working on their council rest days and they are stepping up, doing what the public will expect them to do. happy happy members got guidance on how to enforce easy rules, what are the challenges going to be? the

challenges going to be? the challenges from day one has been the legislation and the guidance have been changing very quickly and i understand. but we have had in the past, for example when the prime minister announced the roll of six, the legislation was brought in on day one, but police officers did not have a guidance for another 2a hours. that puts my colleagues in a very difficult situation, it is ever—changing and we understand why it is changing. this virus is changing and we have to react and adapt to it. the guidance is to keep up with the legislation change. what would really help policing and enforcing this is where the public to know exactly what is expected of them and that is the responsibility of government which is why i have called for a very meaningful public information programme because until we have that, the public will use the excuse, some of them, but they're confused by what the rules mean to them. 0thers they're confused by what the rules mean to them. others will take advantage of our policing style and they will wilfully ignore the rules and we will deal with it

accordingly, but there are a lot of people out there who are confused, because things are different in different parts of the country. thank you. mps are warning about what they're calling an emerging crisis in nursing in england. the commons public accounts committee says nhs england is short of 40,000 nurses and more than a third of the existing workforce is considering leaving in the next year, because of low pay and insufficient staffing levels. at the same time a report by the think thank the kings fund and the rcn foundation, calls for a review of 12—hour shifts amid claims nurses and midwives are facing burn out and exhaustion. misogyny should be classed as a hate crime, according to a new report from the law commission. the consultation said abuse women face because of their gender should be treated in the same way as other discrimation. currently the law protects people based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and transgeder identity.

more about that after ten o'clock. this e—mailfrom more about that after ten o'clock. this e—mail from poppy, more about that after ten o'clock. this e—mailfrom poppy, hi, iwent for a this e—mailfrom poppy, hi, iwent fora run by this e—mailfrom poppy, hi, iwent for a run by myself this morning for the first time in a while and i usually go with my bow front but today i felt brave. 15 minutes into the run a van drove past, beeped, the run a van drove past, beeped, the two men shouted from the van and drove off. i don't get bothered by it any more, i found catcalling and whistling was more frequent when i would walk home in my school uniform. i think most people probably do it to intimidate women. they also see younger women as an easy target. to feel some kind of power in an otherwise powerless life. if you have an experience of misogyny let me know. send me an e—mail. message me on twitter or instagram. now here is the weather. good morning. much brighter skies through the rest of the day across the and have bigger than wales. already a sunshine in scotland and northern ireland. it has been a joy

start here. a cool day overall. nice enough with light winds yesterday. a few showers towards eastern parts of northern ireland. the odd shower in the highlands. most will stay dry through the day. maybe some thicker cloud is getting close the borders later in the breeze will pick up. temperatures across scotland and northern ireland 10—13. much brighter across the western having odd unwelcome part of this morning, just a few showers but with the rain it is pushing its way eastwards, still lingering with a cut across a turning on. temperatures here around 18 or 19. we could fetch the date was so heavy bursts of rain and close to gale force winds around eastern parts of yorkshire and the north—east later. tonight trust for rural parts of scotland and north—east england. more showers putting in towards the south—west of wales and crossing and in wales, they will be around tomorrow with strong to gale force winds in this output through the weekend things turned right with steel chilly. hello, this is bbc news.

the headlines... a warning of tougher measures if people don't stick to the latest coronavirus rules announced yesterday by the prime minister. there could be queues of up to 7,000 lorries in kent waiting to travel into the eu after the brexit transition period ends. russian opposition figure alexei navalny is discharged from hospitalfollowing novichok poisoning — doctors believe a complete recovery is possible. and coming up — stella moris, the fiance ofjulian assange, speaks out in her first bbc interview, telling me how she dreaded going public with their relationship, which had been kept secret for five years. the russian opposition activist alexei navalny has been discharged from the hospital where he was being treated after being poisoned with the nerve agent novichock. this picture of mr navalny was posted on his instagram feed a few hours ago at the charite

hospital in berlin. the 44—year—old became ill on a russian domestic flight last month and airlifted to germany ina coma. we can speak now to our berlin correspondent, jenny hill. this seems to be a remarkable recovery. yes, alexei navalny seems to have survived what appears to have been an assassination attempt. this was a russian opposition figure who according to a german military laboratory was poisoned with a novichok nerve agent. it looks as though he has made very good progress. the doctors who have been treating him for well over a month here in berlin, a lot in intensive care, say he has made such good progress that is utter he no longer needs inpatient acute treatment. they say a complete recovery is possible although there is a caveat, they say it is still far too early to gauge the long—term effects of the poisoning. writing is of course for the poisoning. writing is of course foer the poisoning. writing is of course for mr navalny and his team. he has indicated he wants to get back to russia. the political consequences

of this of course still rumbling on both here in berlin and across other western capitals. thank you. ministers are warning there could be queues of 7000 lorries in kent at the end of the brexit transition period if hauliers fail to prepare for customs changes. a leaked letter from michael gove to trade groups says the "reasonable worst case scenario" will mean both imports and exports could be disrupted injanuary with delays of up to two days. it's thought up to 70% of freight trucks traveling to the eu will be unprepared for new border controls. rod mckenzie is director of policy at the road haulage association. he joins us from oxford. how do you react? we think it is really what we have been saying to the government, for years and we haven't been —— they haven't been doing anything about it. it looks like traders and hauliers are being fitted out for blame when it goes wrong, so this is a bit of blame shifting by the government. because

they are saying to you in this league u need to be ready, and the across league u need to be ready, and the a cross easy rules league u need to be ready, and the across easy rules and cheques. yes, just to explain to the viewers. 0bviously just to explain to the viewers. obviously we have been trading in a seamless, friction free way for the last a0 years or so, and deal or no—deal on brexit we will have an entirely difficult —— different and cop criticism of what is a red tie. get ready for that, we have been saying this to government for a couple of years now, we need to get your act together so we have clarity for traders and businesses that we all depend on to get the things we needin all depend on to get the things we need in britain, otherwise there will be chaos. now the government are playing that message back to us and implying it is ourfault for not being ready. actually there are a couple of key things that the government, are up to the government, are up to the government, and they haven't done. that is around it and customs intermediaries. they say, as a

responsible government we continue to make extensive preparations for a wide range of scenarios, including the reasonable worst case scenario which is what the 7000 truck monkey is. this is not a forecast or a prediction of what will happen but rather a stretching scenario. prediction of what will happen but rather a stretching scenariom that was true, why haven't they done more to address the shortage of customs brokers says all this red tape? at the moment there are 5000 customs brokers in the uk. we will need 50,000 customs brokers to process , need 50,000 customs brokers to process, wait for it, 250 million items of customs paperwork every year. those people have not been hired and it is up to the government to do that. but as the first one. second about it, there are about eight different it systems which need to be operational for the borders to work seamlessly. the government has been very slow and this and their smart freight system is not ready. it is at the testing

phase. why have we left this with only a couple of months to go, this should have been done as we all know, complicated it systems need lots of time, not leaving to the last minute. thank you very much. the fiance ofjulian assange, stella moris, has told the bbc she dreaded going public with their relationship. ms moris, a lawyer, gave birth to the couple's two young sons while the wikileaks founder was living in the ecuadorian embassy in london. mr assange is currently fighting extradition to the united states after being accsued of obtaining and publishing secret military documents a decade ago. she says she'll stand by him whatever happens. i've been speaking to stella moris in herfirst in—depth british tv interview, and she explained how she first met mr assange. i metjulian in paddington at the front line club. i thought he was intriguing, a man with a mission.

we spoke for i'd say about two or three hours about a wide range of topics. what was the point when you realised, i am falling in love with him? it's not one point. i knew i was falling in love with him, and something, i thought a little bit, because he is a very public person and i am a very private person, and he has done some extraordinary things and made very powerful people very angry, and so this is the situation we find ourselves in. you became a couple in 2015. julian assange i think had been living in effectively one room of the ecuadorian embassy for three years at that point. how does, if you don't mind me asking, how does dating work in that situation? you know, love finds a way. you guard your privacy fiercely.

there were cameras everywhere, and microphones, hidden microphones in... and did you know that at the time? no, we didn't know. i mean, i knew that the cameras looked very sophisticated, but i asked several times whether those cameras had microphones, and consistently they said no. how can you be intimate when those cameras are there? we wrote things down to each other if they were so intimate that we didn't want to say them out loud, so in fact, when i got pregnant, which was, you know, it was a planned pregnancy, i told him in writing, notjust in writing, i wrote it down and i folded the paper, i slid it to him. no one wants to start a relationship under those circumstances,

and i knew it was dead serious for me to... what have you got there? what is this? a plane? nice. that's a nice plane. that's very nice, sweetie. can i come to the case against him? two of the accusations, one is dumping hundreds of thousands of unredacted cables on the internet, which put informants' lives in danger, and also he is accused of trying to help us soldier chelsea manning crack a password for a secret pentagon network. you claimed he is a journalist, he claims he is a journalist. most journalists don't help their sources pick physical or digital locks,

or put informants' names in the public domain, endangering their life, do they? julian redacted the afghan war logs, the iraq war logs and the cables. in relation to publication, there are three charges that amount to 30 years. the remaining 150 years relate to obtaining, receiving and processing classified information from a whistle—blower. —— processing. a us army whistle—blower who was blowing the whistle on war crimes. but why did the guardian, el pais, new york times, le monde, all the others who had previously worked withjulian assange to release, carefully, cables that those newspapers, those journalists had gone through line by line, condemn him when he released hundreds of thousands more? the unredacted cables that were published on the internet appeared on cryptome two days before wikilea ks published them, and they appeared there because the guardian had published

a book that contained a password... and they say that's absolute rubbish. it's a fact that wikileaks republished the cables only after they were on the internet, on dozens and dozens of websites. i mean, the committee to protectjournalists said an ethiopian journalist was forced to flee the country after being named in those cables. two zimbabwean commanders face court—martial after being named in those cables. reports that some chinese academics and human rights activists were attacked as rats and spies after their names were revealed in those leaks. in fact, the us, when it has to make statements under oath, says that it has found not a single person who has come to physical harm as a result of wikilea ks publications. he faces 175 years in prison. i mean, they say that is hyperbole. they say it will be more like a—6 years sentence if convicted.

yeah, and we just heard evidence that that is, from independent experts, saying it is much more likely he will serve a life sentence. your relationship was revealed in court documents in march this year. what was it like to finally go public? i mean, it's something that i've dreaded for many years. why? it's not so much the exposure. for the media, of course i am worried about, you know, the kids. i'm worried about myself. i'm worried about how things can be twisted, and that we won't be treated with dignity, because i have witnessed howjulian has not been treated with dignity. earlier this year, you said everyone has failed julian, we have all failed julian. what did you mean? i mean thatjulian is extremely vulnerable.

now physically in the country's highest security prison. he is in there because he exposed torture. the contrast, just the... sorry. the injustice is overwhelming. and it's hard, year after year. i don't think this is people's values, i don't think they think that people who expose war crimes should go to prison for the rest of their lives. how do you deal with the fact that your fiance may lose his fight against extradition,

he may be sent to america, he may be tried, he may be jailed? how do you cope with that? it is not a choice. you love who you love, and i will stand by him even as he is, you know, as he goes through all these things. i will be there all the way as much as i can. how, when, will you get married? hopefully before christmas. while he is behind bars potentially? i mean, iam hoping that once he is free, we will have maybe a reception, maybe at my 0xford college or something like that. and you think he will be free before christmas? it's possible. stella moris, thank you very much for talking to us. thank you.

the headlines on bbc news... a warning of tougher measures if people don't stick to the latest coronavirus rules announced yesterday by the prime minister. there could be queues of up to 7,000 lorries in kent waiting to travel into the eu after the brexit transition period ends. russian opposition figure alexei navalny is discharged from hospitalfollowing novichok poisoning — doctors believe a complete recovery is possible. two schoolgirls have been reunited — virtually — with the woman whose life they saved last month. lily and molly, from gloucestershire, heard a scream while they were on a beach on the isle of wight and swam to the rescue of priya jacob. sally challoner reports. hi. hello. this is the moment priya jacob saw

the faces of her rescuers for the first time since they pulled her from the water a month ago. i can't believe what you guys did for me. like, i really owe you guys my life. all three were on the beach at compton bay, but priya injured her leg while swimming. the sisters heard her scream as she went under. the year before last year, we both did life—saving together as an activity, because every thursday, we have activities, and me and lily chose life—saving. all that was going through my mind is the steps, and what you need to do, and i thought, "well, thank god for the training." but for priya, today's virtual reunion was emotional. she knew she was moments away from death. i remember before giving up, iwasjust like, "i'm going to give up, maybe this is my time." there was no point struggling. i was trying my best to swim, but i couldn't. i will never forget you guys for the rest of my life because i owe you one.

you guys literally saved me. it wasjust us doing our part to help somebody, and that's how i like to look at it. we needed a holiday after the holiday. i bet you did. the sisters were only on the beach that day because covid had forced the cancellation of a holiday abroad. now they are looking forward to the end of the pandemic so they be reunited in person with priya. sally challoner with that report. a music hall in bristol bearing the name of the slave trader edward colston has been given a new name — bristol beacon, following a long campaign. the new name was orginally intended to be announced in may, two weeks before the statue of colston was toppled by anti—racism protestors and thrown into bristol harbour. this report from john maguire.

when a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward colston was torn from its plant black these images we re from its plant black these images were viewed around the world. his hardly bristol was now synonymous of the trauma of physical reminders for their barbaric past. his name was linked to schools and the main music venue in the city where slavery had made his fortune. but three years before the most recent demonstrations, in 2017, the organisation behind the colston hall decided it should been renamed. we were clear about the decisions we made, it was a unanimous decision by our board of trustees, i think the world has moved on a little bit since we've done that. so we remain really confident in the decision that we've taken for us, other people may take different decisions, but for us, we are about bringing the joy of music to a city and so we want to do everything we can to promote that. some people felt excluded because of the associations with edward colston, we had to change it. following the statue's removal,

its subject's name followed suit, from the concert hall, from the office tower next door and elsewhere. recent months have seen a rebranding exercise. the physical manifestation of a decades—long debate. this was the spot at bristol harbour—side where colston's statue was dumped into the water by the protesters. but what gives you an indication of how long there's been a debate in this city about the slave trade is this bridge. built more than 20 years ago, it's named not after a slave trader like edward colston, it's called pero's bridge and it's named after a slave. when the idea of changing the name was proposed, many argued against what they saw as a rewriting of history. but others say it's not about changing the past but confronting it. we're not revising history in

a sense of creating a false version, what we're doing is trying to get closer to a truer version. in that process, of course, we might feel that things are being lost or over—prioritised, but i think that's part of the journey in which then we come to a narrative which is more of a mature version for our young people, for ourselves and so on. as we consider our past, the hall's new name has been chosen to look to the future. to unite, not divide. to represent hope, not despair. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. nasa has outlined plans for the first woman to land on the moon in four years' time. it will be part of the space agency's 28—billion dollar artemis programme that will see the first human lunar landing since 1972, as mark lobel now reports. this will be the first human moon landing during the lifetime of three—quarters of the world's population. nasa's fast—tracked its exploration plans in the hope of establishing sustainable exploration by the end

of the decade. one of the things we've looked at is trying to reduce the space here... the lucky astronauts will have these modern spacesuits with greater flexibility to conduct science experiments on the moon. the first woman on the moon who will instantly become a household name and source of inspiration has not yet been chosen. nasa says she will be somebody currently in the astronaut core, who has flown to the international space station already. it is fantastic. it is a long time coming! we've been wanting to get back to the moon for decades now and, in a way, it is the perfect time because we are not only going at the united states of america, we're going as an international collaboration and we're going with more representation of the human body. later in the decade, nasa hopes to establish a base for humans, called artemis base camp, with an infrastructure for long—term exploration of the moon. nasa hopes this return to the moon

will not only uncover new scientific discoveries and economic benefits but inspire a new generation of explorers as one giant leap for womankind. mark lobel, bbc news. after ten will be talking about the fa ct after ten will be talking about the fact that misogyny is one step closer to being named as a head crime after recommendations from the law commission. nadia from middlesex says on a daily basis i and hassled by builders. 0ften says on a daily basis i and hassled by builders. often i have to consider my choice of clothing before i lived my home. when i am only just taking a before i lived my home. when i am onlyjust taking a short before i lived my home. when i am only just taking a short stroll to the shop. some days i wear baggy clothes because i don't want hassled about micros. it never ends. send me your own expenses on twitter or via e—mail. now the weather. it is a completely
