‘ issue here. in belgium as well only issue here. in belgium as well as in the netherlands and france, the rate is higher than the uk, but supporters have been in stadiums. a process that the belgians began back injune. it has been a work of intensive work of exchange with all who were involved in this, politicians, police, that's why we are having our fa ns police, that's why we are having our fans in the stadiums. you know, it's a week to week thing, if something happens next week, and we cannot foresee that we will have fans and two weeks. this is what passes for pre—match ritual now, munich fans getting tested before travelling to the super cup final, they go despite warnings and knowing risks. the gates may be open, but the world outside remains very different. patrick geary, bbc news. let's round up some of the day's other football lines for you and... wolves have signed the portugal defender nelson semedo from barcelona, in a deal that could make him their record signing. they're paying an initial 28—million pounds, which would rise to 37—million.

england. they put on 3a runs before the first week it fell, but they had a bit ofa the first week it fell, but they had a bit of a wobble, three wickets falling for just 11 a bit of a wobble, three wickets falling forjust 11 runs added. since then though, they've picked up again and the captain are building a little bit of a partnership. there will be a bit of frustration for england having got that good start to have lost those wickets in a little bit of a cluster and given a bit of initiative to the west indies. the hope for england is that they can continue this partnership and build a total that will lead beyond the west indies as we saw a couple of nights ago where england where quite comfortably winning in that game batting first. henry, today on the show, we have been looking at some of these new restrictions around coronavirus and the different impact on various sports. i wonder what the reaction has been in the cricketing world. it's been a challenging summer, no question about it. of course, we saw the bubbles that were in place for the bubbles that were in place for the england's been site across those three series that they played against west indies, pakistan and australia. for the women side commits a slightly different thing ina commits a slightly different thing in a sense of the work that they do.

—— to ensure fan engagement at the matches that they play. they are a lwa ys matches that they play. they are always well attended, the women's games, but also after the matches, the england with newman's team a lwa ys the england with newman's team always spend a huge mount of time speaking to fans and getting photos, chatting to supporters and injuring the next generation of players can see their heroes, meet their heroes, so see their heroes, meet their heroes, so that whole aspect of their jobs has been taken away. so that will be very different for them and they will just be very different for them and they willjust be hoping that they can put on a real show in these matches, particularly on saturday with the match against west indies on bbc television. i think there is one fan just behind you, big daddy will long legs and the commentary box alongside you. i will be waiting for him to land on my shoulder. you have done well there, henry, well done. quick run through some of the day's other sports stories and... somerset fight back against essex with an unbeaten half—century on a rain hit first day for the trophy final at lords. they closed the day at 119 forfour. british number one dan evans was comprehensively beaten by second seed stefanos tsitsipas in the first

round of the hamburg european open. evans lost 6—3 6—1 as world number six tsitsipas showed his quality in a 59—minute win. evans will now head to paris for the french open which starts on sunday. dereck chisora will face unbeaten ukrainian oleksandr usyk on the 31st of october in their rescheduled heavyweight fight, which had been due to take place in may. a venue is yet to be confirmed and there will be no fans because of new restrictions. chisora has not fought since a fourth—round stoppage victory over compatriot david price last year. and former wales coach rob howley is returning to coaching for the first time since his ban from rugby union for a breach of betting rules. he's been named assistant coach of canada's men's national team. howley was sent home from wales's rugby world cup camp injapan when it emerged he'd been betting on matches. now, earlier this month, a defender for canada's women's football team publicly came

out as transgender. quinn, who has now dispensed with their former first name, has won 59 caps for canada as well as winning a bronze medal at the 2016 olympics. the 25—year—old, who remains eligible to compete in women's sport, has been speaking to katie gornall. i think he had been frustrating trying to live, essentially, two different lives. i was occupying my real identity in spaces where, you know, there were people that i trusted and people that i loved him and then as well within my soccer team, soi and then as well within my soccer team, so i was out to them. so i really didn't like feeling like i had a disconnect between different parts of my life being a public figure, so i wanted to live authentically through all of that. also, i wanted to, you know, take the platform to speak out on issues that are happening around in the world and offer my support to other

trans folks. i think being visible is huge, and it's something that helped me when i was trying to figure out my identity. so i wanted to pass that along and hopefully, you know, other people will come out as well if they feel safe to do so andi as well if they feel safe to do so and i can create a saver space for them. he think it's really difficult when you don't see people like yourself in media or even around you are in your profession, so i think, you know, i was operating a space of being a professional footballer and i wasn't seeing people like me. so when i was figuring out who i was, it was really scary and i didn't really understand if i had a future in football, if i had a future just in life. so i think it's so crucial when you see people like yourself, it really gives other folks hope. i know from family and friends that they have been behind me, even before this post, because i have been out to them for a while now. so it was really nice to see them be really open on social media with expressing, you know, their love and

support for me. as well, just hearing from people outside of my community expressing their support, you know from footballers, fans, and people in the queer community. so i think it's been a really positive response, yeah. canadian footballer quinn there. that's about it from all of us here on sports day. we'll have more throughout the evening. you can stay with us and up—to—date on our website. bye—bye. hello, you're watching bbc news. now, there is to be no autumn budget this year because of the continuing economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic. the chancellor, rishi sue knox said —— the chancellor, rishi sunak, will update mps tomorrow on plans to protectjobs through the winter. opposition parties have been calling for urgent action to replace

the government has been coming under mounting pressure to extend the fertile scheme which is due to and inafew fertile scheme which is due to and in a few weeks. we can speak now to craig beaumont, chief of external affairs, at the federation of small businesses. good evening to you. what are you expecting from the chancellor's statement tomorrow? well, i can say what we are hoping for. we are hoping for an ambitious and significant package, probably somewhere in between the march — april moment of the big flagship schemes they announced, furlough, self income and support, cash grants to small businesses and somewhere between that massive announcement and the july economic between that massive announcement and thejuly economic statement that he made where he launched things like kick—start. so it needs to be big. it needs to look at the emergency loan scheme which is due to and very shortly, and that should be extended. we're looking at a replacement for furlough which looks, probably had something to do with wage subsidies, of course, we don't know the details, but that is what most of the chatter is about at the moment, how do you do that's, and when idea in there is basically

looking at something that i'm trying to as flexible furlough, remember, they brought people back from furlough and you could work for three days and then have some wage support on the other two days. so something in that area, and then finally putting something about specific sectors. that's a bit risky because often people falljust outside of the sector, even though they really are part of it. so if they really are part of it. so if they do something there about retailer hospitality and leisure, maybe through the business grants cash grants scheme, but of course, if they did the business cash grants from lycos to also businesses —— small businesses that have premises. so that would be major. there's other things as well, such as helping those excluded from support, so helping those excluded from support, so company directors, self—employed, tax things around the 18, deferrals, maybe some help setting up in business as well, because we will have lots of people who will fall out of employment as well as an increased safety net, you need them to set up in business. so, lots of

different sectors and different individual circumstances that the chancellor, you want him to bear in mind tomorrow. what we have also learned today is that we are not going to happen autumn budget. does that make a difference as far as you are concerned? not in terms of technicalities, so they can have a budget all the way through until april when they have to make their announcements on duties, etc. so you don't need that now, but what it does do, it really amps up tomorrow. it really makes this the most important political moment in the autumn. so this has got to be big. in terms of these restrictions announced, just yesterday, we have got to avoid a second lockdown, and if there is a second lockdown there will need to be a big package, really big announcements, they can a lwa ys really big announcements, they can always bring that in later, but at the moment, the focus on tomorrow is really how do you react to these restrictions, having withdrawn some business supports, how do you

replace some of that to keep businesses going? we got hopes up, expectations high, and perhaps with your viewers today, maybe i canjust appeal to them to support their small businesses at the moment. they are at the front line at this and they need your support. what are businesses being reported back to you in terms of customer support? well, the moment, they are feeling really dismayed because they've gone through six months of this crisis already. they were told at the start, we are not sure how this will last from a months, ended up being six months and coming out the signal is when you have got six months more. so businesses having lost the summerand more. so businesses having lost the summer and had eat out to help out, good scheme in august, but now they are looking at losing potentially some or all of their trade all the way through to christmas. and a lot of small businesses rely on that. so these sectors in particular that are forcibly lockdown down, like the event sector, for example in nig htclu bs event sector, for example in nightclubs and night—time economy, these people and business owners are so excited to get going and finally get their businesses going and

customers in, they won't. so they need specific help, so those who are still open, please go and use them. so think about your local community. yes, you may be working from home more than you expected, so to visit your local high street and give them some of your custom. you know, you don't need me to tell you the reason that these restrictions have been brought and is in order to control the virus, and that is why sectors like leisure and hospitality have been hit. of course, and weddings as well. they are reducing the size of weddings. we understand why these have to come in. at the same time, you need the business support to keep them going. they need a bit more support on the testing front does well. you know, we were premises were a beating test entry system, we have got the app coming, it's due on thursday. so, you know, if small businesses are to operate safely with a reduced customers because of social distancing, that relies on being able to rely on really, really good test entry system, and we haven't quite got there yet. 0k, very good to talk to.

thank you. 0k, ok, time fora ok, time for a look at the weather now. here is chris fawkes. hello there. we have seen much cooler air push across the uk during the day today but a real contrast in weather fortunes. for england and wales, it's been cloudy with some fairly heavy outbreaks of rain around — that was the scene —— later in the night, the next batch of wet and windy weather will arrive across was an southwest thing then, clear skies and further north in scotland allowing a few patches ofair in scotland allowing a few patches of air frost to develop in sheltered northern glens. so cold start to the day here. thursday sees one area of low pressure spin away from the uk just to be replaced by another area of low pressure arriving from the southwest. that means it's going to be another unsettle day with heavier bricks of rain spraying housing lynn wales, ray not far away from northern ireland, scotland seemed the best of dry weather with some sunshine here, but it will stays chilly. later in the day, the wind strengthened across the southwest of englund where we could see some costs in

excess of 50 mph. feeling quite cool in those brisk winds.
