added to this is the new iopm closing time which has led lost his life. he left home to come to work and do to the pub, hospitality and leisure industries fearing what police officers do on a daily drastic loss of business. basis and unfortunately they often risk their lives to keep us safe and it's just heartbreaking that figures announced in the last couple an officer has lost his life. of hours show the uk government my my thoughts and prayers are with his borrowed £35.9 billion in august, as tackling the economic fallout family. the commissioner has been to of pandemic took its toll on the public finances. see his family and loved ones. the jon donnison reports. police force is a family notjust in croydon but across the mets and in these tough economic times, across the country will be leaving some were drowning their sorrows last night, but across england and feeling the loss of this brave it was early doors as the new nationwide iopm curfew for pubs and bars kicked in. still got 45 minutes. police officer. —— metropolitan last hour, year. make the most of it. police. early night, watch a movie. as a student, it is a bit annoying, like, freshers and everything, leeds council confirms it expects but i do think i'd ratherjust be a ban on household mixing safer than, like, to be announced today. going out and risking. they expect the rules to be honest, i tend to go to sleep to change from midnight. at about ten o'clock anyway so it really doesn't affect me but i can imagine it would affect quite a lot of people quite a bit.

it comes as the chancellor, rishi sunak, announced a new package of financial support... how are you going to pay for all of this, chancellor? we also have the ons infection ..but one where businesses survey numbers. in recent weeks are going to have to take more of the strain themselves. there has been clear evidence of in october, the final month people testing positive for covid—19 of the current furlough scheme, the government will be paying 60% and the numbers are an estimated 103 of workers' salaries, with companies paying 20%. thousand 600 had covid—19 during the but from november, under the chancellor's new scheme, it is companies that will pay past few weeks. the rate in england a minimum of 55% with the government paying a maximum of 22%, has gone up and one in 500 homes in and employees will have to work at least a third england has now got covid—19 in the of their normal hours. wa ke england has now got covid—19 in the wake of the 19th of september up the chief executive of next has welcomed the move but is warning from one in 900 reported last week of thousands of traditional retail so nearly doubled. to repeat that, jobs might become unviable because of the shift to online sales. the ons now think one in 500 homes in england has now got a coronavirus i think it's important that employers begin to pay a little bit problem within those households, up more for these schemes, and that employees get a little bit from one 900. the ons also estimates less because otherwise i think there is a risk that our economy willjust become hooked on it. there were 9600 new infections per

but others say the government day in this particular week of the is cutting support at a vital time. 19th of september, up 60% on the we are facing a cliff edge at the end of october and the scheme that's in front of us nowjust 6000 cases per day reported in the doesn't seem to stack up and doesn't go far enough previous week. that is from our head to support our industry. what we can't do is have somebody come and work for 33% of their time of statistics. you can see a sizable and we have to pay for 55% of the time. itjust doesn't make economic sense. so, as people prepare for what, increase they are in the number of for many, will be a difficult infections and we were hearing from winter, the health and the wealth of the nation remain guests earlier about the impact of intrinsically linked. jon donnison, bbc news. long covid symptoms that have gone on for many weeks and months and as our political correspondent, the universities go back we are leila nathoo, is at westminster. seeing those restrictions in a lot of people asking questions scotland. uk businesses already about the job support a lot of people asking questions about thejob support scheme and one of the big ones is whetherfirms suffering from the impact will be able to afford to take up of coronavirus face further the scheme given they have to make uncertainty after missing out on help in the british government's new emergenchob support scheme. people in a number of sectors higher contributions, financial contributions, towards their staffs including retail and hospitality and those on zero—hours contracts salaries. at the bottom line of the fear for the future, as the head of one of britain's scheme is that companies will still

biggest high street chain warns that have to pay workers for hours they thousands of retail jobs are under threat. lord wolfson, don't work product they had to who runs clothing firm next, contribute to the furlough scheme in said the posts of thousands of workers are now unviable its latter days anyway put this put because lockdown has triggered a permanent shift more of an onus on companies and the to online shopping. the state will now question is whether that will really be enough of an incentive of a government top up to get companies to keep people on that they would pay a maximum of 22% otherwise let go. i think the of employees' wages. this contrasts with furlough which paid up to 80% of staff salaries. government clearly feels that the added to this is the time has come to end the furlough scheme because they say the new 10 pm closing time situation has changed and the landscape has changed and the which has led to the pub, economy has made a permanent hospitality and leisure industries fearing drastic loss of business. adjustment to coronavirus is what rishi sunak said yesterday. in his view, we are no longer in the world figures announced today show of considering a temporary the uk government borrowed £35.9 billion in august, disruption to the economy and he as tackling the economic fallout thinks it is not right to keepjobs of pandemic took its toll on the public finances. we can speak now to research directorjames smith going through the furlough scheme that otherwise would not survive in from the resolution foundation thinktank. thanks forjoining us. we have this climate. what the treasury obviously been digesting the wa nts to this climate. what the treasury wants to do is target government support which is much less generous than the furlough scheme, but target statement from rishi sunak. what is the remaining support at what they

your response to the cutting of call viablejobs, the remaining support at what they call viable jobs, where workers can work up to a third of their hours. this is what chief secretary to the furlough? the government has to balance the books in the mid—term. treasury stephen barclay said earlier. it's about striking a balance the market was great to see the between both the protection ofjobs, chancellor responding so quickly to but the longer term affordability what is happening to the economy. from a wider economic perspective, and that's why the chancellor set out more targeted measures at those jobs that are viable, but alongside that has a package, the change in the virus caseload and a plan forjobs, to enable us to retrain, get the skills support in to boost those sectors increasing restrictions announced by the prime minister earlier that week of the economy that can grow, and if the chancellor had not particularly for example through infrastructure investment, responded to that what we would have in order that we protect those jobs that we can. had is social distancing we are being honest that won't be restrictions ramping up and the everyjob, but it's important people aren't out of the labour market economy ramping down so it is important he responded yesterday and a good, timely intervention but i for extended periods. think it was a mixed bag in terms of some of the policies that were announced so great to hear about more support for firms and many people will be extremely additional vat cut that will help nervous about what the end of the hospitality and tourism sector but furlough scheme at the end of next month will bring and i think that will be the moment where we really the centrepiece of the new scheme thatis see the true impact of coronavirus the centrepiece of the new scheme that is taking over from thatjob

on the economy because so far much retention scheme has design flaws in of the blow has been cushioned by it and therefore does not really live up to the rhetoric of the furlough scheme and the supporting jobs and supporting those chancellor has now definitively ended it and replaced it with viable jobs that will be there for the future. when you say design something that is far more narrow. there will be an interesting moment flaws one point a number of people to see what the true scale of the are picked up on is if you are an damage is but i think the message we employer under a new scheme is it are getting from the government is they have to be able to make this a more efficient for you to sack one sustainable in the long run, we will of your staff and keep one on be dealing with restrictions for the full—time try to maintain keeping next six months at least was the reminder from next six months at least was the reminderfrom the next six months at least was the reminder from the chancellor and in their right we have to have them both. the government will want government support on a more sustainable footing. thank you very to maintain as manyjobs as much. unlike the uk, germany didn't have possible. of the key aim is to invent a job support programme from scratch when the pandemic struck — it already has one. maintaining as many viable jobs as now it's being extended the chancellor said yesterday as until the end of 2021. stefanie bolzen is the london correspondent of the german die welt newspaper. possible. a lot of people are talking about it being similar to the scheme in germany but that is thank you forjoining us. tell us crucial difference in that employers need to make significant about the scheme in germany and how contribution to the hours that it works. it is actually a scheme workers have lost. this really reduces the incentives spreading out

that has been around for a very long time, it was already introduced in the fall in the amount of work by the 1920s in germany so it is more people doing it forfewer nothing that comes as a big surprise hours. the situation is slightly for german employees. in the completed by the job hours. the situation is slightly completed by thejob retention bonus which will help make that spreading financial crisis in 2008, it was out of work more viable but all that used widely by the coalition does is push out the cliff edge from government. it helped actually to the start of november when the job retention scheme ends two january recover more quickly after the when thatjob retention scheme ends two january when that job retention crisis because for companies it is retention scheme ends two january when thatjob retention bonuses paid. are very difficult protection very important to keep their staff to make. what level of unemployment on. especially if you look at engineering, highly skilled jobs employers are keen to keep people could the uk now be facing?m to make. what level of unemployment could the uk now be facing? it is very tricky and the key thing here in. it is cheaperfor them employers are keen to keep people in. it is cheaper for them to maybe work a bit less but they don't have is what we needed from the to make them redundant, pay chancellor was a big support to try redundancy payments and look for new people once the economy picks up. to head off that large rise in just to clarify, the scheme in unemployment. we have not seen that germany, is it primarily aimed, you and we hope what he has done will mention the skilled jobs, at help but not completely help the supporting higher skilled jobs? no, rise in unemployment. the big worry it is for everyone. 0k, and in terms here is what we will see is a large

rise in the coming months and particularly worrying is that it could happen in january of the numbers, a lot of questions here in the uk about whether this particularly worrying is that it could happen injanuary when the virus look set to still be around. scheme will be financially viable can you put a number on it? the for employers because, for example, numbers from the bank of england asked for something like seven and a it will cost them more to employ two half percent in unemployment rate. people have time than three people and there is what it could be much ona people have time than three people on a normal hours than one person than that. full—time. how do the numbers work in germany? the numbers work that way that, for example, if there is a company that has only worked for you as an employee three days a week, you work your three days, you get paid for that, and the rest of your lost income will be topped up by the government up to 67% if you have four people have been injured, children, or 60% if you do not. two of them critically, in a series of stabbings in paris near the former offices after all, you will still have of the french satirical around 80% of your income. it is magazine charlie hebdo. also an instrument, because the a security cordon has been set up companies have to pay quite a bit, around the building — they have to pay social security, which was the scene of an islamist

attack in 2015 — because of reports health insurance, pension payments, of a suspect package. french government ministers so are to hold a crisis meeting. health insurance, pension payments, so it is also a bird and of course hugh scofield is our on the companies and it makes sure correspondent in paris. that only companies that are it looks like to of the injured are structurally viable get the money and go into the scheme —— it is a very seriously injured and have been taken to hospital and we understand burden. if they can't pay this, it is obvious the company doesn't work that the other two are not seriously injured. we were told there is a one product that is the word we have been talking about, if a job is viable. that is very subjective. is attacker rather than the two that there any evidence in germany, i we re attacker rather than the two that were originally said. the fact that won't say that the scheme has the attack was in the bastille directly led to job losses, but that it isn't enough to support some jobs? of course there will be jobs region near the charlie hebdo must that will be lost because companies simply cannot afford to pay what they have to in this scheme but more create in the ideas of investigators importantly, on the long run, this a possible link. we know this is is why it has proven a successful where there was the big terrible attack five years ago and also right model in germany, it means that once now there is the trial going ahead the economy is picking up and we are in paris of people linked to that all hopefully seeing it picking up attack and that trial itself led the

next year, it is easier for companies, when they get more work magazine, still in publication, to m, companies, when they get more work in, to really work at 100% and not republish the cartoons of the have this dip down because they prophet mohammed which were the origin of the whole crisis. so in simply let the skilled workers or the minds of everyone there is any workers go and have to look for them and do the whole employment and speculation about a link between all of that. we are hearing that interview process again. it has proven very successful programme in schoolchildren are being kept inside germany. really interesting to hear in that area in paris. how the scheme worked there. stefa nie how the scheme worked there. university students in scotland stefanie bolzen from die welt, thank you very much. are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend — the french prime minister is warning following covid—19 outbreaks in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. it's a race against time to avoid hundreds of students a second coronavirus wave as severe have tested positive, and many more are self—isolating. as the first. they've been told they will be breaking the law if they leave he said the public must act their student accommodation now to stop a repeat and return home to of the peak in spring. visit theirfamilies. it comes as the country registers a record number of new cases professorjonathan ball is a virologist from since mass testing began. the university of nottingham, here's mark lobel. where they are offering testing to their students. as france's coronavirus death toll inches up, hospitals are at their busiest for months. are you surprised to see these big inpatient numbers surging across the mainland and as far outbreaks in scotland ? are you surprised to see these big as guadeloupe in the caribbean. outbreaks in scotland? we have seen similar in the usa. that was a key

in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. hundreds of students across the country and let's have tested positive, remember the increase in cases and many more are self—isolating. they've been told they will be started before the return of breaking the law if they leave universities. so our numbers right their student accommodation and return home to now and impacted by universities but visit theirfamilies. it does not change the fact that this is a risk that all of us need i think it was obviously the right advice and we should be maintaining to ta ke social distancing and stuff this is a risk that all of us need to take seriously and that we should all be following the advice. just to but to be honest, i don't think it's very realistic. i think if there is a limit com plete all be following the advice. just to complete the statistical updates, i for people to go out until ten can confirm that 89 people are in hospital which is for more than o'clock, i don't see why it should exclude students. i am joined now by the scotland yesterday. 11 people are intensive official for the university ca re yesterday. 11 people are intensive care which is one more than and college union, mary senior. yesterday and in the past 2a hours thank you forjoining us today. no deaths have been registered of a patient in first tested positive let's talk about the restrictions over the period 28 days. —— previous fought this weekend with students asked not to go to pubs and parties 28 days. one note of caution around and so on —— for this weekend. how realistic is it that they will that. national records of scotland listen to that? i think first of suffered a power outage this morning so it is possible we will have to all, tojust say, i think it is modify that figure and later on but based on the information i havejust astounding the scottish government and university principals seem to be note no deaths were registered over the past 2a hours. that means that blaming students for the spread of the past 2a hours. that means that the total number of deaths under the covid—i9 university campuses right

measurement that we use readily now. i think this was entirely figures remains 2510. that total predictable, the virus is incredibly again reminds us of the impact of contagious. we know it spreads this virus and as usual i want to indoors, in poor ventilation, and pass on my condolences, my very deep that it was already prevalent condolences to everyone who has lost amongst 17—21 —year—olds. ithink a loved one. as i said to go i'm that it was already prevalent amongst 17—21 —year—olds. i think it is hardly surprising that bringing joined today by the chief constable stu d e nts is hardly surprising that bringing students together in university and deputy chief medical officer. in and deputy chief medical officer. in a few moments the police constable accommodation that is often 12 will talk about the new restrictions people or more in a unit, it is in place and how they will be in hardly surprising. you cannot place place and doctor steadman will talk all the blame on the government or about the importance of people going for flu jabs about the importance of people going forflu jabs in and universities, can you? i'm not about the importance of people going for flu jabs in the days and weeks ahead. the main thing i want to do saying you can place it all on is speak to scotland students today stu d e nts saying you can place it all on students either but there is an and speak to why we are asking you element of personal responsibility, isn't there? if the students have to do certain things to help limit been getting together to party, as the spread of covid. an announcement stu d e nts been getting together to party, as students will they probably realise they shouldn't really be doing that. made by the scottish government last night as we have added four there is, however, we cannot treat additional countries to those stu d e nts there is, however, we cannot treat

students as second class citizens andi subject to quarantine restrictions. students as second class citizens and i feel this is students as second class citizens and ifeel this is what students as second class citizens and i feel this is what the students as second class citizens and ifeel this is what the rules denmark, iceland, slovakia and that were announced last night are doing. indeed, even the scotland curacao. if you're travelling to children and young persons scotla nd curacao. if you're travelling to scotland from these places from tomorrow you must self—isolate for commissioner has raised human rights implications by having one rule for 14 tomorrow you must self—isolate for 1a days on your return to scotland stu d e nts implications by having one rule for on arrival here. that is a reminder students and another for the rest of the population. if there is an how quickly levels of those fighters outbreak, and we know there are can change and are changing. please hundreds of positive cases among avoid nonessential overseas travel students, and a lot are and about unnecessary travel self—isolating as a result of anywhere right now and that advice contact with other students, isn't applies not just to anywhere right now and that advice it sensible as a measure to ask them applies notjust to this moment in time but also any plans you might to restrict themselves for a short have for the october school break. period of time? surely that is not let me turn to the main issue i want treating them as second—class citizens, it's asking them to be to address today. i want to send a good citizens? i think this is message directly to university incredibly difficult and messy. when stu d e nts message directly to university students and to the parents of we have a rule of six but we have university students, many of whom i stu d e nts we have a rule of six but we have know will be worried about the students in household units of children right now. i am not a eight, ten or 12, the question i haveis eight, ten or 12, the question i have is why did we not think greater pa rent children right now. i am not a parent but i am the devoted aunt of a boy who hasjust parent but i am the devoted aunt of a boy who has just started university and is living away from social distancing in university

accommodation? i think we also need home for the first time so i do have to think about student mental health some insight into the anxiety they and well—being. this is an will be feeling right now and i accredited difficult period for suppose it is a general point i want to make. the government is having to stu d e nts accredited difficult period for students and it should be an make some really tough decisions exciting time when you are coming right now but none of us are immune from the impact of those decisions away to university to learn new things and meet new people. in and we understand how difficult they are for people because we have effect, students have been brought families as well and have an insight to university and are now being into that. the first thing i want to locked down. i think they are being treated differently. sorry to say is director students. i am so sorry, so heart sorry that this time interrupt, i do agree absolutely of your lives is being made as tough that it interrupt, i do agree absolutely thatitis interrupt, i do agree absolutely that it is hugely difficult and you as it is just now. i have to try to balance stopping of your lives is being made as tough as it isjust now. i really of your lives is being made as tough as it is just now. i really feel for you but i feel especially for those stu d e nts have to try to balance stopping students from experiencing of you starting university for the university life and being on campus first time and of course living away for that first term, or returning to from home for the first time. this is an exciting time in your lives but i remember from is an exciting time in your lives but i rememberfrom my own university, against online learning experience which is not yesterday but still very vivid in my mind that at home. that is a difficult balance to strike but as we look ahead it is also a time of adjustment and towards christmas and obviously the also time of homesickness as well idea of maybe students not being able to go home at christmas time, and that is the for students every do you think there needs to be year without covid but is much more

serious consideration as to how things can be managed to allow difficult given the circumstances you are all facing right now. i know stu d e nts to things can be managed to allow students to return to families at some of you feel as if you are being christmas if they would like to? blamed for the spread of covid right absolutely. we did not need to be in the mess we are in now. my union has now that is not the case. you don't deserve to be facing the sun nobody been raising these concerns for deserves to be facing this right now considerable time and what we have and this is not your fault. deserves to be facing this right now and this is not yourfault. but deserves to be facing this right now been saying that all of the and this is not your fault. but this will not last forever and the quicker we get covid under control learning, the student experience, the teaching that can be done remotely should be done remotely. i the sooner you will get to enjoy a more normal student life. i know how think we need to move away from the difficult what i am asking you to do ambiguity is in the current scottish is but please do what is being asked of you because although covid is government guidelines at least around blended learning. there has been far too much effort put on nobody‘s fault we all have to play our part in tackling it and there is people being on campus, interacting, nobody across the country that is not touched by that. there are many and it has clairlea backfired in the families who have not seen loved way that has happened over the past ones in care homes for a couple of days —— clearly backfired. considerable period of time. there are families across the country that is not able to spend time with each i know you are critical of how stu d e nts i know you are critical of how students are being treated in all other right now. everybody is this but the fact remains that many feeling the effects of this but we all have to play our part to get hundreds of them have the virus and a lot are self—isolating so i'm sure you would urge them to do the right through what we are facing. there have been some particular

thing and not be socialising with a discussions about the advice issued lot of people this weekend if they last night from university scotland saw what i want to do briefly today are supposed to be self—isolating? is just of course we would encourage saw what i want to do briefly today isjust right saw what i want to do briefly today is just right about that down to the eve ryo ne of course we would encourage basics of what it is that we are everyone to follow the rules but i am just concerned that, you know, asking students to do. personally if you live in student or shared the general population has been encouraged to go out, eat out, and accommodation please do not have parties and do not socialise in your encouraged to go out, eat out, and accommodation with people who are encouraged to go to the pub rather than entertain people in our own not in the household group that you are living in. and i know the impact households. it really feels like there is one rule for students and of this on students is a bit harder another for the rest of the thanit of this on students is a bit harder than it is for everybody else because of your shared living population and that really does feel arrangements but this advice is unfair. ithink actually no different to what we are population and that really does feel unfair. i think we should be supporting students rather than asking of the population as a whole, threatening red cards, the police, to stay out of each other‘s houses. disciplinary is and so on, that is the reason we are asking that is we not what higher education is about. know the virus can spread easily when different households mixed as you say, a tricky situation to try to manage but we appreciate your together in indoor domestic environments. the second thing we time talking about the situation. are asking of students, but let me stress, just for this weekend, is to the income of britain's royal family please stay out of pubs and restau ra nts a nd cafe please stay out of pubs and restaurants and cafe is. the reason for this is that our as we know a has been hit by coronavirus .

number of campus outbreaks across it's likely to leave scotla nd number of campus outbreaks across scotland so we want to do everything a £35 million hole in the royal finances, possible to stop them spreading any according to the latest accounts. further and staying away from hospitality this weekend, the that includes a shortfall of £15 million caused by the smaller number of visitors to royal palaces and galleries. and we had more royal news this morning — information from this virus means princess eugenie announced that she is expecting a baby with her husband jack brooksbank. the exposure people have had from the exposure people have had from the last few days if they have been we spoke to our royal correspondent sarah campbell a little earlier who had a statement from the palace. interacting socially means that we will see campus cases are in days to they are expecting a baby in early 2021. come but if we take steps now to eugenie is the duke and duchess of york's youngest daughter, limit interaction over the next few and the statement goes on to say, days we can help stem the outflow the duke of york and sarah, and make sure outbreaks do not duchess of york, mr and mrs george brooksbank — she is married to jack brooksbank — spread any further. that is the the queen and the duke of edinburgh, reason for that advice this weekend. are delighted with the news. after this weekend we will as so there we go, breaking news, stu d e nts to another royal baby on the way. after this weekend we will as students to follow the same rules as eve ryo ne students to follow the same rules as everyone else and that is try to let's get to the sovereign grant, the royal accounts, limit your social interactions in which were published this morning. pubs and hospitality is and when you let's see what they jiggle pubs and hospitality is and when you jiggle it should be in groups of no are looking like. more than sex from a maximum two households. that's like when you do always with the royal accounts, travel is one of those issues, go. it should be no more than six because people like to know how much these royal tours cost. people. it is not mandatory but

travel was up 15% over the last financial year, strongly encouraged and university so it's up until march of this year. is asking you to do that. when you the most expensive royal tour turned out to be their final royal might not know everybody your tour, this was the duke meeting right now it is a good way and duchess of sussex. they made a tour last autumn of letting people you have been in to southern africa. contact with if you test positive —— harry went on beyond, six. and need to isolate. people going to three other countries other than just south africa. that costjust shy of £250,000. might be interested to know since number two on the list, the app was launched two weeks ago prince charles went to oman to offer his condolences more than 800 people have been after the death of the sultan. that came out at £210,000. notified. it really does help us that's because he was unable to secure a last—minute help break the chains of scheduled flight. transmission. if you are asked to self—isolate as a student because one little one, the duke of york you been asked to self—isolate —— spent £16,000 travelling to the open in portrush because you have the virus are know in northern ireland to go someone who has it is important you and watch a bit of golf, do that. your university has a big, so some critical comment, wondering quite whether that amount of money needs to be big responsibility to look after spent in royal travel. one of the interesting things your welfare right now and make sure that came out this year you're ok. i have spoken personally is the impact of covid. of course, everybody has this morning to university principals to stress their been impacted by covid, responsibilities to you and i know and according to the royal finances it is something they take seriously it looks like going forward but also know it is something that there is going to be a shortfall

of something in the region pa rents would but also know it is something that parents would want to be issued. of £35 million, and that's to do with the way it is calculated, student services already have special arrangements in place profits from the crown estates, and it means rental incomes are likely to be down, including 2a—hour help lines and and there'll be less money coming in from things like visitors food deliveries and additional to palaces and to galleries. mental health counsellors for those so all of that might make an impact who might need that support and i'm but the keeper of the privy purse grateful to all of those including yesterday was very keen to say the many volunteers helping to they wouldn't be asking provide practical and emotional for more taxpayers' money. they would find it through support in this way. one final point i want to address today but we will efficiencies and savings. see more about this over the weekend. we are aware that for some stu d e nts weekend. we are aware that for some students who have been asked to self—isolate they might be finding that situations so difficult that hello this is bbc news. they want to go back to their family the headlines... home to complete the period of self a police officer has been shot isolation. i will be frank. that is dead at croydon custody centre in south london. a difficult balancing act because if dead at croydon custody you go home after you have been the bbc understands the 23—year—old suspect then asked to self—isolate that may have turned the gun on himself. implications for your family who then may also have to self—isolate if you test positive. but we wanted the metropolitan police say the officer was taken to hospital where he later died. to let you know today, i wanted to the prime minister, let you know that we are looking at borisjohnson, has tweeted, what might be possible there and it sending his condolences to the family, friends and is ouraim to colleagues of the police officer. what might be possible there and it is our aim to issue some further guidance and that of the weekend.

after the chancellor's latest the key point to stress is that help coronavirus economic measures, is there for you if you need to slow some sectors say they're missing or if you need it please ask for it. out, with the boss of next warning that thousands of retailjobs the very final thing i want to say may become "unviable. " to stu d e nts the very final thing i want to say to students today is thank you to the cost of the pandemic — britain's debt continues to rise all of you, just like everybody else with borrowing hitting across the country, you are bidding £35 billion in august. about and that i desperately wish you did not have to be bearing right hundreds of students at universities now. but you are being part, you are in scotland are self—isolating playing your collective part in and all students are told not to go helping us beat covid back and in to pubs or parties this weekend. the queen's granddaughter, princess eugenie, has announced she's expecting a baby that you have my deep appreciation early next year. and understanding how difficult this is for you at this time. i focus primarily today and what is being asked on students and i think it is important we focus not today but all of us have a role in getting covid a police officer has been shot back under control and the dead in south london. the officer was shot by a suspect regulations about hospitality and at croydon custody centre. host of the sections are announced he was taken to hospital where he later died. today and come into force. the suspect also suffered a gunshot wound which appeared to be self—inflicted. a 23—year—old man has been arrested. our correspondent alastair leithead

be processed in this way. the the danger with an infectious virus question will be how he came to have is if you don't act quickly and a weapon at the point where he was toughly to start with, it gets out being searched, what the logistics of control and then you have a much were. with covid—19 there are logistics in place to search people more serious situation on your before they enter buildings. i hands. can i ask everyone to follow suppose that is the detail at the these rules, limit your interactions as much as possible and download the moment. the key thing has been the response, the reactions we have app. remember facts. keep heard. you read out a couple and we have a few more i am keen to share. as much as possible and download the app. rememberfacts. keep a two metre distance, clean surfaces, the first is from cressida dick, the commissioner of the met police. self—isolate and get tested if you have symptoms. i don't underestimate she says... how difficult this is for everybody "this is a truly shocking incident in which one of our colleagues has lost his life and it's more difficult six months in, even so then when we were in in the most tragic circumstances. strict lockdown earlier in the year, my heart goes out to his family. when a colleague dies in the line but this is essential if we are to of duty the shockwaves and sadness get through this and if we all pull reverberates throughout the met together and do the right thing and our communities. through each other, we will get policing is a family, within london and nationally, and we will all deeply through each other, we will get through it more quickly than we will mourn our colleague. we are in the early stages of the investigation otherwise. my deep thanks to and are still working to establish the circumstances surrounding everybody for all the sacrifices i the incident and we will provide know you are making. particularly,

further updates when we have them." today, my special thanks for that investigation is centring on stu d e nts today, my special thanks for students at our universities. i will hand over to the chief constable how this happened, at what point this person, the suspect, was being before we take questions as normal. processed at that time and at cani before we take questions as normal. can i express on behalf of everyone, exactly what stage we don't yet out can i express on behalf of everyone, know. home secretary priti patel has our deepest sympathies and support to the family of our colleague from also spoken shortly after the news the metropolitan police who was came out this morning. tragically shot on duty in the early hours of this morning and also support to our colleagues in the metropolitan police and, indeed, to the people of london. the thoughts of the whole of the policing family with them as we have lost a loved the mayor of london sadiq khan has tweeted this morning, family member, friend and close he said... colleague. again, iwould family member, friend and close colleague. again, i would also wish to thank everyone across scotland are stepping forward over the last six months, making changes and

sacrifices to combat the spread of he went on to say... coronavirus. changes and sacrifices necessary to protect each other, and protect our families and our communities. my experience has been that the great majority of people over the past six months have taken the responsibility to do the right thing, because at this moment in the key thing from this is that it isa the key thing from this is that it is a very rare incident, and they time, social distancing is the will be looking into this to see single measure we can use to present where it goes from here. thank you the spread of the virus. i also know very much, our correspondent. and that guidance and regulations have been changing and often and, at times, it can be a challenge to keep you were just saying, this is a tha nkfully you were just saying, this is a thankfully rare incident. dominic up—to—date. highly restrictive measures on our lives, freedoms and casciani, our home affairs correspondent has been looking at figures. officers shot dead in the daily routines are indeed in place. early hours this morning, that's the 17th from the metropolitan police to so, fundamentally, policing is here have been killed by a firearm since to support people. the diverse the second world war. he says we do nature of scotland's people and not yet know of any comparable communities, to help everyone didn't

write thing. as i have said, do the incident to the circumstances of right thing to prevent the spread of today's deaths in croydon. those this virus. i would underline my circumstances being that the police admiration and compassion for young officer was shot in or around the people who are responding so well to police station itself. we don't know this pandemic, during such an whether it happened inside the important time of their lives. the custody centre or immediately first minister has outlined many outside. those details are yet to emerge. leroy logan is a former metropolitan young people have started or police superintendent. returned to further education and one of my children, being one of hejoins me now. thank you very much them, so! for talking to us on this very sad one of my children, being one of them, so i know the demands on the expectations, just as the first day. you must be pretty amazed by minister has outlined, and i also the circumstances. it seems a very unusual set of circumstances in which this officer has lost his know it's a tough set of life. yes, it's absolutely terrible, circumstances... we are going to devastating. thoughts and prayers go leave the scotland briefing. mark drakeford, the first out to that officer's family and minister of wales, is giving an update on the latest loved ones, and of course his coronavirus measures. let's listen in. collea g u es loved ones, and of course his colleagues and former colleagues like me, because any time an officer the new wales— wide measures to help loses his life in the call of duty, it impacts on the wider police

family, notjust prevent the spread of coronavirus it impacts on the wider police family, not just nationally it impacts on the wider police family, notjust nationally but internationally. i don't know how came into force last night. a curfew well you know this particular custody centre but if you can give us custody centre but if you can give usa custody centre but if you can give us a sense including supermarkets, licensing custody centre but if you can give us a sense of how suspects would be processed in circumstances like this. it depends if that person was arrested outside the police station such as off—licences, all businesses selling alcohol must provide table and has been transported in a service. we've reviewed the local vehicle. invariably, officers will restrictions introduced in search that individual to make sure they haven't got anything that can caerphilly and wider. it was the harm other people or themselves or first local area to be placed under try and hide any material, maybe local restrictions because of a it's drugs or or any articles they sharp and sudden increase in virus shouldn't have. that is standard cases. since they were introduced, procedure. and that's for security we've seen the rate and number of reasons, whether or not they have a cases. from the high levels we saw weapon. there are circumstances from a fortnight ago. i want to where someone might turn up at the thank everyone living in the area custody suite area itself at for their help and hard work over the last two weeks for adhering to reception and lead straight through. not knowing all of the details on

how this person got into the secure and complying to those restrictions. area of the station, whether it's they have been very high levels of outside the building, in the yard or compliance. —— there this is been whatever, we just need time to try instrumental in slowing the virus. and find out what has happened we are not out of the woods yet. because the details are very scant at the moment. and you present to although there's been a steady fall of the rate in cases, the level is make very different scenarios there, much higher than we would have want where procedures would be quite them to be. the restrictions will, different. obviously if someone is arrested outside a police station, therefore, remain in place for the as you say, there is a standard at least the next seven days. if the search procedure that officers would go through, which is very different rates continue to fall, we hope to to someonejust turning go through, which is very different to someone just turning up at a police station. and we do not know, be able to relax them. it's as you say, what the circumstances different in the rhondda. we are are. what questions are in your mind about all of this right now? the seeing cases continue to rise and that's to be expected. it could take first thing you want to know is how two weeks or more to see the paper because of the time between did this happen. how did that person infection and the onset of symptoms. be in the station, whether it's in so, restrictions will stay in place the yard or the building itself, and and we will continue to monitor the be able to produce a weapon. we

situation there. i knew walking testing centre will open today at don't know if that person could have got a weapon from another officer. we don't know. or the officer the latest campus. tests can be himself. just to interrupt, we heard from the metropolitan police earlier booked through the website or by calling 119. as you can see from the that no police firearms were discharged. so it doesn't seem to be that. 0k, well, that's good to know. slide, cases are also continuing to it depends on the calibre of weapon. rise in gwent and bridgend, where local restrictions were introduced if it is a small weapon and can be earlier this week. we've also been easily hidden in that person's carefully monitoring the situation clothing then it brings another question on how thorough that person in carmarthen which is overly linked was searched, if at all. and those toa in carmarthen which is overly linked to a rise in cases. eight out of ten are the things that the department cases there are linked to their main for professional standards will look at, and the office for police town, and the majority of these have conduct and the investigating been traced to people socialising officers who will have to look at this thing thoroughly. because there without social distancing. we've seen a rapid increase in cases in isa this thing thoroughly. because there is a lot of learning, and obviously

a lot of pain for the family and swa nsea. seen a rapid increase in cases in swansea. we are investigating these to determine the sources of the friends and colleagues of that increase, but, again, their teams to officer who has fallen in the line officer who has fallen in the line of duty. thank you for talking to us be links with close households. the today, leroy logan, a former superintendent with the metropolitan local authority has undertaken enforcement work with businesses where breaches have been reported or police. we will return to that story discovered. as we are seeing rising cases in cardiff and a steady through the day as we learn more increase in the vale of glamorgan, developments. which had been linked to people fears are growing about the ability of criminals to use cyber attacks to carry out meeting and mixing in others' homes killings, as german police investigate what could be the first without social distancing and some ever homicide by hacking when a hospital's it small clusters in workplaces. we system was targeted. now the european union's cyber security division has told the bbc continue to keep watch in north that governments should consider wales where the picture is mixed. making company bosses liable if workers are killed by cyber attacks. cases overall are much lower than joe tidy has more. south wales at present but there's evidence that coronavirus is increasing in some parts of north whether it's your social media account getting hijacked wales, so we will be meeting local or bank details stolen, hacking is often considered a cyber issue, removed from the physical world. authority leaders there next week to

but attacks are becoming discuss the developing situation. we more dangerous. ta ke discuss the developing situation. we take the protection of people's last week, german police launched health very seriously in wales and a world first homicide case where hackers could be to blame. we have carefully considered whether we have carefully considered whether a woman needing urgent care died we need to introduce more local restrictions to help control the whilst being transferred spread of coronavirus in some of from a hospital that was taken off—line by a cyber attack. these areas in south wales. as cases it's the type of incident experts have been worried about for years. i'm afraid something like this has are rising rapidly, we'd therefore been brewing for some time. decided to introduce local the most likely cause of a serious attack with tragic consequences restrictions include netley which was the sort of thing we seem to have seen sadly in germany. it's not the first time begin tomorrow and saturday. local health care has been hit. restrictions will also come into during the 2017 wannacry attack place in swansea and cardiff from in the uk, patients also needed 6pm on sunday. that doesn't mean to be diverted when hundreds of hospitals and doctors' surgeries were knocked off—line. that people from swansea and cardiff should treat this as a big blow out. there is no evidence anyone died, but it caused chaos for people likejessica cole, whose daughter needed urgent help. there are already restrictions in her temperature wasjust place. the measures reflect the going up and up and up. nothing was bringing it down. seriousness of the position and we the staff were really stressed. asked people to reflect on they'd had a whole day themselves and their own conduct and of disruption and chaos.

avoid unnecessary contact with other the pandemic has seen an uptick people. we will closely monitor the in attacks on health care facilities and research centres, as hackers take advantage of security weaknesses. situation is in tolbert and but there are other sections of modern life that are even more concerning. glamorgan and review whether these for example, industry. areas also need to come under the this facility has been set up local restriction regime at the same near dusseldorf in germany to test time as swansea and cardiff. the the production lines of the future. the benefits of having more local restrictions mean that when enforced, people living in these intelligent machines in facilities like this are obvious, areas will not be able to enter or but as more and more companies are increasing their connectivity on the production line, leave the area without a reasonable the risk of cyber attack is also excuse. they will not be able to going up, and with it meet indoors with anyone they do not the threat to human life. do you think there's a problem live with, for the time being. so, where companies are rushing to digitise and they are not taking extended households and bubbles will safety risks seriously? be suspended. all licensed relatives this we see everywhere. less than 40% of the companies have information security had to stop serving alcohol by 10pm management systems. and everyone must work from home less than 30% really wherever possible. up until now, have a plan of what to do when they are attacked. i don't think the industry in

the current state is very prepared. we've placed whole local area so what can be done authorities under restrictions but to improve safety? we are acting now on more localised the chief of the eu cybersecurity division thinks governments basis because the transmission is in the eu and beyond should consider new laws. i think it's very important that concentrated on the town itself. we company leaders take cybersecurity will use the ward boundary define extremely seriously. and i would also encourage the restriction area. there will be policymakers to think about what is the liability of the ceo of a company, because in the worst—case scenario, it might have consequences on human life. a postcode checker on the website together with details about the other critical parts of modern life restrictions. a large part of the like transport and power are also routinely being probed population of south wales, including for weaknesses, often a capital city, will be living in by rival governments. areas under local restrictions to overall, the risk of a deadly protect their health and prevent the cyber attack remains low. further spread of coronavirus. and, but the events of recent years all point in an undeniable and troubling direction. of course, there are a series of joe tidy, bbc news. rules applying across wales, ciaran martin is the founder and former chief applying to licensed premises, executive of the uk's wearing face coverings and not visiting indoors. we know people can national cyber security centre. make a real difference in their

good to have you with us today. the local area. we are seeing this happen in newport and caerphilly. i german authorities are calling this a negligent homicide investigation. don't want to keep these what other areas apart from health restrictions in place for any longer care, because the woman in this case than we need to. they may only need who died was a hospital patient, as to bea than we need to. they may only need to be a short—term measure to bring we explained, transferred between the virus back under control. but we hospitals as a result on an attack need everyone's help to do that. on one building, so what other areas do you think are the weak points when it comes to this kind of everyone's help to keep wales say. attack, where people's lives could thank you and i'll start by taking be endangered? i think the phrase some questions. we are having some local challenges with connection it may be that having journalists negligent homicide is an appropriate asking question from the screen i one ina negligent homicide is an appropriate one in a sad and tragic case because may need to read some of these the purpose of the attack by questions out. can we check whether criminals was to extort money out of we got adrian not? no, i don't think a network, i'm not even sure they knew it was a hospital, and tragically that meant the hospital admissions system was disrupted so we got adrian not? no, i don't think they couldn't admit the patient. i we have. we'll start with james from think it shows you the sort of bbc wales. no. james is frozen. we accidental, unintentional but horrendous consequences this sort of

criminal cyber attack can bring. it is different from some of the other will now pull away from that risks that we have two guard briefing that we've heard an against, like a deliberate attack on announcement there that there will an industrial system, where the be locked down is for and these will intention is to hurt people. because be locked down is for and these will be brought under local lockdown at they are different threats, there are two different types of 6pm and they are joining approaches. in the first one, be brought under local lockdown at 6pm and they arejoining six be brought under local lockdown at ordinary organisations like 6pm and they are joining six local council area which means one and a hospitals and small businesses and so on have to make sure they are as half million people in wales will be under extra restrictions. we've also well defended against ra nsomwa re attacks as they can be. a lot of heard from nicola sturgeon that they are appealing to students to just be thatis attacks as they can be. a lot of that is about having back—ups very careful, curtail their because what criminals tried to do movements and sign up to the app in is extort you for money to get data back, but if you have your data scotland. 800 people are been notified in the last two weeks in somewhere else then you can get it scotland. we are looking for further back. on the factory and industrial control and safety side, it's making announcements on students possibly having to isolate at home, over the sure your systems can withstand an attack and fail safely before they weekend or the next few days because can put anyone in harm's way. what we've seen a lot of infections in you make from the suggestion from stu d e nts we've seen a lot of infections in students have just gone we've seen a lot of infections in students havejust gone back we've seen a lot of infections in students have just gone back to the eu cyber security division that governments should consider making university. the bosses of companies liable if london has been added

someone dies as a result of a cyber to the coronavirus watch list as an area of concern. attack. would that be hard to prove? the mayor of london sadiq khan explained that there have been many i think it might be. where i agree indicators that the virus is worsening in the capital, which he discussed with if it is good to think of a range of the prime minister on tuesday. policy measures that governments, the uk government, eu institutions the prime minister did seem aware can take that might help address that they were some concerns to show some of the scourge of cyber attacks the virus was rising in our city. we are currently seeing but i think the number of cases positive cases, liability is hard to prove, as you say. it might be a nation state, it have gone up. infection rates are might not be detectable and it might be very hard to prove, which is one going up, hospital admissions are of the reasons why for example going up, hospital admissions are insurance in cyber security hasn't going up. blood donors tested for taken off in the way you think it might have done because it's very antibodies has been going up and ha rd to admissions to emergency has gone up. might have done because it's very hard to price risk, price harm and price liability. there are other things you can look at. looking at the government has confirmed today that london has now been added to the scourge of ransomware, at the moment in british law, for the list of areas of concerns on the understandable reasons, there is an anomaly which means if the attacker government's watch list. they is affiliated to a terrorist group finally realise there is an issue. i have suggested that the amount of then it's unlawful to pay a ransom, testing being done in our city,

that goes back to the time when which is been the focus of this terrorists were kidnapping citizens and holding them to ransom to buy government, ifully which is been the focus of this government, i fully function testing weapons. but if it is a system still isn't in place six months after this virus came to public attention. non—terrorist group then people can pay a ransom, so i would look at policy around that. it is not a slam there has been clear evidence of an increase in the number dunk case, but we could look at of people testing positive for covid—19 in all age groups, whether it is illegal to pay a according to a survey ransom to criminals to discourage by the office for national statistics. them to carry out further attacks. one in 500 people in homes in england has covid—19 in the week of 19th interesting. i'm sure you know of september. this is up from 1 in 900 exa m ples interesting. i'm sure you know of reported last week — examples where organisations that have been very aware of the cyber that is it's nearly doubled. and equates to 103,600 people threat, the threat from hackers and with covid—19 in england, which is up from 59,800 have taken the previous week. threat, the threat from hackers and have ta ken lots threat, the threat from hackers and have taken lots of threat, the threat from hackers and have ta ken lots of steps to try to protect their systems but hackers it estimates 9,600 new have still got any. it is that cat cases by day in england in the previous week. and mouse game, not to call it a game and to make light of it, but it isa game and to make light of it, but it is a cat and mouse thing where people in cyber security are trying to develop stronger systems and hackers try to find ways around let's get more now on our top story them. of course, and some attacks this hour. a police officer has been shot will get through, there are so many dead in south london. of them it's impossible to keep them the officer was shot by a suspect all out, but the point is trying to at croydon custody centre.

he was taken to hospital minimise the harm they can do. i'm where he later died. the suspect also suffered a gunshot not asking anybody who specialises wound which appeared to be self—inflicted. in health care or in business or a 23—year—old man has been arrested. international development environment protection, whatever it the prime minister boris is, i'm not asking them to worry johnson has tweeted — saying: my deepest condolences go about cyber security first and to the family, friends and colleagues of the police foremost. worry about the day job officer who was killed in croydon last night. first, but there are steps you can take. you don't have to be world class at security, but you have to we owe a huge debt to those be good enough to discourage attack who risk their own lives is coming to you and if they get in to keep us safe." we can speak to the to stop them doing serious harm. shadow home secretary, nick thomas—symonds. that's a pragmatic approach to defence i think every organisation hejoins me from his needs to take. former chief constituency torfaen. executive of the uk's national cyber what's your reaction to what security centre, thank you. happened in croydon overnight?” what's your reaction to what happened in croydon overnight? i was shocked and devastated when i heard let's return to one of our main the news this morning. my thoughts, stories this morning, the chancellor's job support scheme that will replace condolences are with the officers, the furlough programme. the boss of the next fashion chain family and friends on such an awful has warned that thousands of retail jobs may become "unviable" day like this. it's also a salutary because of the shift to online shopping as a result reminder of the dangers that our of the coronavirus pandemic. lord wolfson, who's a conservative peer, welcomed the newjob police officers are in everyday, in support scheme announced by the chancellor yesterday. the line of duty and today, we stand

here's our business editor, simonjack. by our calculations, in solidarity with the metropolitan in our particular case, we don't think we will need it police and the wider police family and we won't draw on it very much on this dark day, when an officer because we think by the time it gets has been lost on these awful to the end of october, there'll be enough work through the normal build—up circumstances. we don't have the to christmas to employ all the people we've details as to what happened, but we currently got on furlough. we've got less than 10% do know that there's been a request of our staff on furlough, so we don't think we'll need it, but we think other for extra stretch due to coronavirus sectors desperately will. we think it's important that pressures that the police are under. employers begin to pay a little bit more for these schemes, there are severe pressures and i've and that employers get a little bit commented on that a number of times less because otherwise i think there's a risk that our economy willjust become hooked on it. in recent weeks but, today, i think ultimately, the consumers, the numbers of people we have to focus our attention on coming into the shop, are going to determine how many making sure that the family and people you can employ. so, yes, it's the employer, friends are getting the support that but all the employer's really doing is reflecting underlying demand they need and also making sure that family and friends know that they do from the consumer. not stand alone. there are people all around the country offering a lot of people say with this m essa g es of permanent looking shift online, all around the country offering messages of condolence and sympathy. a lot of the unviable jobs what we then need to do is, as the are in retail. is that right? i think that is right, yes. and i wouldn't want to underestimate details of this emerge, there is an the difficulty that's going to cause ongoing investigation we had to bear a lot of people who work in retail.

in mind, but as these details i think it's going to be very uncomfortable for a lot of people. emerge, then we need to look at this we will inevitably, and have already, reduced the number going forward which will be of people working in our shops, and i expect that to continue over absolutely vital in making sure something like this doesn't happen the coming five or six years, again. can i take that on board and as the demand for retail goes down. but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training move on today's news on coronavirus new recruits in our call centres, in our warehousing, our distribution networks and the economy, the big are taking on new employees. announcements we've had from the so there are newjobs, treasury and also the health and in terms of finding where those opportunities are, the internet provides an amazingly members, we are seeing increasing powerful tool to connect pressures a cross members, we are seeing increasing pressures across society. what's employers with employees. your response overall to the way the are our city centres doomed? i don't think so. government is handling things. certainly, on the economic front, i think they are going to have to change. the worry of jobs and it's not that people are not certainly, on the economic front, the worry ofjobs too. certainly, on the economic front, the worry of jobs too. it's going to have their hair cut concerning that we have a situation or are not going to buy sandwiches or aren't going to go shopping. it's that they might do less where clearly, there are different health measures that are being of it in city centres and more of it elsewhere. tightened up across the country and i think the idea of having places we've been clear that where its in that lots of people can get to easily in order to meet the national interest, we do support and socialise and work together, i think that idea is always going to be powerful. that, at the same time, the you've been a bit of an outlier saying, listen, we bid the rents up, government has had a wasted summer we signed the contracts, we should pay. with test, track and isolate which and yet you also, when those leases should have been focused on and got have come up for renewal, been up should have been focused on and got up and running and that has not

getting 50—plus percent reductions. happened. the government needs to get that sorted out because the what's the future british public have been doing their for those landlords? our view has always bit. they've been accepting these been very simple. we agreed to pay those rents. restrictions. the uk government has we often took large amounts of money not done its bit with track and from landlords when we opened the shop in order to fit them out, trace and it desperately needs to do and we can't now turn around and say, you know, that's not fair. so. thank you for your time today. we agreed to it, we are on the hook, so we've got to pay it. but that paying will come to an end as and when the leases the boss of the the uk high street come up for renewal. fashion chain next has warned and our experience is that landlords that thousands of retailjobs may are being extremely realistic become "unviable" because when it comes to renewing leases. of the shift to online shopping as a result the reason i think it's so important of the coronavirus pandemic. for us to recognise that landlords lord wolfson, who's a conservative need to be treated fairly, peer, welcomed the newjob support scheme announced as a country, is because they are by the chancellor yesterday. the ones who are going here's our business editor, simonjack: to invest for the future. by our calculations, if the high street, if our city in our particular case, centres and town centres we don't think we will need it are going to regenerate, and we won't draw on it very much it's only going to be from the investment that landlords because we think by the time it gets to the end of october, make in those properties. and if we say to people today, well, there'll be enough work through the normal build—up it doesn't matter what assurances to christmas to employ all the people we've you were given five years ago, currently got on furlough. what promises were made, we've got less than 10% we are going to tear them all up of our staff on furlough, and take your rent away from you, so we don't think we'll need it, but we think other what confidence can they possibly sectors desperately will.

we think it's important that have to invest in the future? employers begin to pay a little bit the north korean leader, more for these schemes, and that employers get a little bit kim jong—un, has apologised less because otherwise i think after his troops killed there's a risk that our economy a south korean official willjust become hooked on it. and burned his body at sea. ultimately, the consumers, the numbers of people it's thought he'd been trying coming into the shop, are going to determine how many to defect to the north. people you can employ. so, yes, it's the employer, but all the employer's really doing in a letter sent to the south korean is reflecting underlying demand president moonjae—in, from the consumer. kim jong—un said the incident a lot of people say with this should not have happened, permanent looking shift online, calling it "unsavoury". a lot of the unviable jobs north korea said the man are in retail. was shot by the crew of one is that right? i think that is right, yes. of its patrol boats. and i wouldn't want to underestimate south korea called the burning the difficulty that's going to cause of his body "an act of brutality". president trump's refusal a lot of people who work in retail. to acknowledge that there will be a smooth transistion of power has i think it's going to be very bought into sharp focus the role uncomfortable for a lot of people. social media is likely to play, we will inevitably, and have notjust in the run—up to the election but in already, reduced the number the days and weeks after. facebook has insisted of people working in our shops, and i expect that to continue over its forthcoming independent the coming five or six years, oversight board — as the demand for retail goes down. or "supreme court" — but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training will make decisions on appeals against deleted posts before the us new recruits in our call centres, presidential election. in our warehousing, our distribution networks are taking on new employees. so there are newjobs,

co—chair of the board, and in terms of finding and former danish prime minister where those opportunities are, helle thorning—schmidt, the internet provides an amazingly told bbc news how it will work. powerful tool to connect we will wait and see which cases employers with employees. are our city centres doomed? are brought in front of the board, and we will have to see if facebook refers any cases to us i don't think so. or whether there are any users i think they are going that refer cases to us. to have to change. and it's not that people are not going to have their hair cut but in principle, we will be able or are not going to buy sandwiches to look at any issues arising around or aren't going to go shopping. it's that they might do less posts connected to the election of it in city centres and also after the election. and more of it elsewhere. i think the idea of having places but don't forget that we are not that lots of people can get to easily in order to meet preferring to do expedited cases, and socialise and work together, i think that idea is always we are preferring, particularly going to be powerful. you've been a bit of an outlier at the beginning, to have real saying, listen, we bid the rents up, we signed the contracts, deliberation and principled debate we should pay. and yet you also, when those leases around our decisions. have come up for renewal, been we are not here to have snap getting 50—plus percent reductions. opinions about things. what's the future we are here to take for those landlords? our view has always principled decisions that facebook has to follow. been very simple. the singer—songwriter michael kiwanuka has won this year's mercury prize for his self—titled third album. we agreed to pay those rents. he beat the likes of dua lipa we often took large amounts of money and stormzy to scoop the honour, from landlords when we opened

which comes with a £25,000 prize, the shop in order to fit them out, but the usual glitzy award ceremony and we can't now turn around was cancelled because of covid—19. and say, you know, that's not fair. our arts editor will we agreed to it, we are on the hook, so we've got to pay it. but that paying will come to an end gompertz has more. as and when the leases come up for renewal. # don't hesitate. ..# and our experience is that landlords are being extremely realistic when it comes to renewing leases. it was a case of third time the reason i think it's so important lucky for the 33—year—old for us to recognise that landlords london—born musician, need to be treated fairly, winning the prestigious award as a country, is because they are for his third album, which had the ones who are going earned him his third nomination. to invest for the future. if the high street, if our city it was a happy ending to a prolonged centres and town centres are going to regenerate, period of self—doubt for the singer—songwriter. it's only going to be from the investment that landlords i've always been kind make in those properties. and if we say to people today, well, of worried about my place it doesn't matter what assurances in the musical landscape, you were given five years ago, what promises were made, we are going to tear them all up where i fit in, all those and take your rent away from you, kinds of questions. what confidence can they possibly and with this one ijust kind of made the decision that i wanted have to invest in the future? to not really worry about those things and create my own lane, you know? # my hero now...# pubs in england closed at ten o' clock last night as part

it's time to go home. of days with rain piling around that area of low pressure and heading ten o'clock has just happened, what do you make of it? in particularly across parts of lincolnshire and east anglia today. it's pretty brutal, to be honest. itjust makes us drink notjust persistent rain less and drink earlier. here but gales developing as well. has it ruined your evening being kicked out at ten? elsewhere, dry weather with some no, i'm still having a lovely time! sunshine, just a few rogue showers across north and west parts of the uk coming in on that for some, the pavement is the new pub. brisk northerly wind. yeah, so, we could do take away. concentrating on the wind across parts of east anglia and east england in general. gusts of 45—50 mph inland yeah, no, we are staying here! but nearer the coast, in excess of 60 mph and that for the foreseeable future, nights could cause disruption, perhaps some small trees down, out will be finishing earlier. combined with a lot of wet weather covid continues to and surface water flooding upend our way of life. is possible in some parts of east anglia. tim muffett, bbc news, brighton. and lincolnshire. temperature is only about 11 in the east but further west, up to 15 or 16 and there should be a fair amount of let's check the weekend weather. sunshine for many of us this today feels like we are well into afternoon. autumn. it feels like winter is into the evening and overnight, almost round the corner with that we keep the largely clear skies. cold, northerly wind. if we could at still going to come and east anglia and the odd shower rattling least lose that and, with a bit of through on the breeze overnight. under those clearing skies it sunshine, it shouldn't feel too bad would be quite a cold night

with temperatures well down but overall, the weekend will be into the mid or even low single chilly. there's a nasty low—pressure figures to start saturday and there could be a touch of frost bar there in the southern north sea across parts of scotland first thing. kicking off saturday, spiralling those wins out of control lots of dry weather and some sunshine around for many on the north sea coast. in excess of but we will see more cloud lingering in eastern england and some outbreaks of rain for east anglia 60 miles an hour in some places. in and the south—east, probably not as heavy and persistent as the rain today. access of a0 in england. we haven't again rather cool with temperatures 12—15, possibly 16, you will notice a northerly breeze. still cloudy on sunday in the east got the hailstorms we had yesterday but there are a few showers, here with that breeze but that and there, but noticed the weather breeze will start to ease, a few showers in east anglia is pretty clear across many parts of and the south—east on sunday the country for this afternoon and but elsewhere should stay rather dry with temperatures between 11—17 by the time we get to sunday. this evening. it's still very windy looks like high pressure will bring some dry weather for many of us along the north sea coast, especially across the coast of east through monday and tuesday and then a return to more unsettled anglia. when it's windy, through the autumnal conditions through the second half of next week. winter, the temperatures don't tend to full this low. 8 degrees in norwich. tomorrow, that nagging

northerly wind continues along the yorkshire and north coast. better in the west over the weekend. the reason is because the jet stream is sending this pressure and we are in between weather systems. the western slither of the uk enjoys the best of any sunshine. still a chance of the cloud, some spots of rain and a breeze in the south—east during the course of sunday. so, i think you area course of sunday. so, i think you are a winner in plymouth, cardiff, liverpool, belfast and glasgow. early next week, we will lose the current cold air from the north atlantic. it will be replaced by milder weather. high teens across some parts of the country but it means that later on in the way, with the mulder atlantic air comes more

hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. a police officer has been shot dead in south london. the officer was shot by a suspect at croydon custody centre. he was taken to hospital where he later died. the suspect also suffered a gunshot wound which appeared to be self—inflicted. a 23—year—old man has been arrested. the prime minister, borisjohnson, has tweeted, saying: my deepest condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues of the police officer who was killed in croydon last night. we owe a huge debt to those who risk their own lives to keep us safe." our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at the detention centre. what do we know about what has happened? there is a huge sense of loss and

shock at the croydon custody centre which is a large centre to take all the suspects arrested in this area into custody. it is still very early in this murder investigation but what seems to have happened as a man seems to have been arrested and brought here to be taken into custody in a police vehicle. in the process of him being checked into the custody centre, and i understand it was not in the sales area but in the vehicle area, this person that was being taken into custody seems to have shot the custody sergeant about five times and that seems to be the best information we have. and then seems to have tried to shoot themselves. the custody sergeant was treated here and rushed to hospital but unfortunately he has not made it and the suspect is still being treated for these apparently self—inflicted wounds and has been arrested. obviously on the suspicion

of murder and tragically does seem as if the custody sergeant was only as if the custody sergeant was only a few weeks from retirement so are really awful and terribly tragic end to what had been a very long and well thought of career. obviously these things are very unusual in this country generally and this is a very unusual incident. as it's known what exactly the process was? had this man been fully searched, what would normally happen? obviously these are the key questions. the incident has already been referred to the independent office for police conduct and they will be looking at this. if somebody has been taken into custody and then is able to produce a gun on arrival at the custody centre that is a matter of grave concern and something which will be looked into. of course the metropolitan police themselves will be wanting to learn midget lessons from that but there will be a wider investigation by the independent

office for police conduct. at the moment it is a sense of offal shock and awful tragedy all the way up through the metropolitan police force, right through the wider police family. the national police chief council chairfor police family. the national police chief council chair for custody has said how offal he thinks it is that a custody sergeant has been killed and of course the home secretary and the prime minister and the london mayor have immediately expressed their condolences and topped how important it is we remember those who try to keep us safe and the risks they run every day. i have to say i cannot think, ever, of a previous incident for somebody has produced a gun while actually in custody this way so it is an extremely rare incident and something which is obviously of immense concern. one of our other

collea g u es immense concern. one of our other colleagues in the home affairs department was seeing this metropolitan police officer is the 17th overall to be killed in a firearms incident since the second world war. this is very unusual. i don't know whether you have managed to speak to any of the colleagues they are and how busy and difficult an area it is, croydon, to police generally? it is a very mixed area like many parts of the greater london area and does have quite a lot of problems with gangs and with drugs. it is an area known for that but croydon is also known for being a very pleasant and suburban part of south london depending on what part of it it is. but it is a troubled pa rt of it it is. but it is a troubled part of london and perhaps a part of london which has become increasingly troubled in the last ten or 20 yea rs. troubled in the last ten or 20 years. but i think the focus of this will not be so much about the problems in the area but about how

it is that somebody was able to arrive at a custody centre and have arrive at a custody centre and have a loaded weapon and be able to, it seems, fired at least six shots if there were fire shots fired at the custody sergeant and one of themselves. —— five shots. it will be something of great concern. croydon has a very mixed reputation at the moment. it's notjust a leafy suburb, let's put it that way. and there will be questioned about police resources and how much pressure all those offices are under at the moment. this was in the middle of the night uk time and how rigorously all procedures for safety can be followed. yes, we honestly don't know the circumstances of the original arrest of the stage and how many officers were involved, whether

they were full officers are special co nsta bles they were full officers are special constables involved. we do not know the level of training are also the level of risk was assessed at the time of the arrest. clearly it will be incredibly important, forces will look at the circumstances of the arrest and any subsequent search done either on the street or in the vehicle. because the idea that a suspect should be able to bring a loaded weapon into a police station and they were brought in by police officers is something which will be officers is something which will be of massive concern. i think at the moment what we are going to have is a lot of sense ofjust immense grief. the police are always deeply concerned when members of their own police family are injured or killed in the line of duty. and at first i

think it willjust be the sense of huge upset and grief and a desire to learn the lessons as quickly as possible through that great. do you know if when suspects are brought on the go through any kind of airport scanning or any sort of body search that would normally detect a weapon? normally there is that search procedure and different stations have different procedures. the problem in this case is we think the shooting took place before the suspect got anywhere near the actual custody suite because i think there was some sort of covid check or something like that being done at ground level so i don't think that final security check had really been done this was as it where the stage of the initial search having been done rather than any final check as

they came in to the sales area of they came in to the sales area of the custody centre. and we don't know whether that was just one officer with our other offices around? i guess that detail is not fully released yet. we don't at this stage. we are getting a number of state m e nts stage. we are getting a number of statements in, public reaction coming in from kit malthouse, the policing minister who has described the shooting is a heinous crime. he says it is a tragedy for the entire nation and i know the entire house will offer their condolences. also the speaker of the house said the death of the officer was shocking news and it should never happen to the people who protect us and make us the people who protect us and make us safe.

joining me now is the mp for croydon north, steve reed. i don't know whether you have the chance to speak to anyone involved in this. i have spoken to some members of the police. right now we do not know exactly what happened, to speculation that the over whelming feeling i am getting back from the community this morning as shock, devastation and sympathy for this police officer and his immediate family, this absolutely tragic loss. croydon, as we were hearing from correspondence, is a mixed and busy area this police centre this police station? croydon is no different from many other inner urban areas. of course all areas like that have their challenges but this is a really

friendly, happy place to be and are very tight knit community. this is an extremely unusual event to have happened and everybody is shocked because it seems to have happened in secure custody unit. there is no public access into this building and you have to be checked and let in before you can come through the door so there are clearly some very big questions to be answered about how an armed criminal was able to get inside the sweet and do what he did, ta ke inside the sweet and do what he did, take the life of a police officer in this way. —— get inside the custody suite. we don't want to get into a political blame game at this stage but obviously police across the country are very stretched at the moment because they are dealing with the covid problem on top of all the other duties and resources and

properties are all stretched. you are right. right now the key concern is the shock across the community and the sympathy for this officer and the sympathy for this officer and his family but there will need to be an investigation onto what has gone wrong and we will need to see whether the very severe reductions in police numbers, police training over the last decade have had any impact on this but for now that a speculation and i think is the facts emerged let's have a look at those fa cts emerged let's have a look at those facts but for now are primary thoughts are of sympathy for this officers family and of course for all those who serve the in, day out keeping the rest of us safe. nobody deserves what has happened to this officer.

we've had plenty of reaction to that shooting. the commissioner of the metropolitan police, cressida dick, gave a statement. she said: "this is a truly shocking incident in which one of our colleagues has lost his life in the most tragic circumstances. my heart goes out to is family. when a colleague dies in the line of duty the shockwaves. and sadness reverberates throughout the met and our communities. policing is a family, within london and nationally, and we will all deeply mourn our colleague. we are in the early stages of the investigation and are still working to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and we will provide further updates when we have them." the home secretary has also commented on the shooting, she said: "i am deeply i am deeply shocked and saddened to learn that a metropolitan police officer has been shot and killed in the line of duty." she went on to say: "this is a sad day for our country and another terrible reminder of how our police officers put themselves in danger each and every day to keep the rest of us safe." as we've been hearing, the policing minister kit malthouse has called the shooting of a police officer in croydon a heinous cirme.

the minister was raising a point of order in the house of commons. with your permission on a point of order and want to bring the attention of the house to the fact a police officer was sadly shot and killed overnight in croydon. the details are still emerging but the home secretary has spoken to the commissioner of the metropolitan police and offered to help and support of the home office as the force comforts families, friends and collea g u es force comforts families, friends and colleagues and investigates this crime. we ask our police officers to do an extraordinaryjob and the fact that one of them has fallen in the line of performing that duty is a tragedy for the entire nation. i know the entire house will offer their condolences to his families and friends and colleagues. may he rest in peace and mayjustice follow this heinous crime. it is shocking news. this should never happen to the people who protect us and make

us the people who protect us and make us safe. and of course all of our thoughts and prayers go with the family and friends and all of the police community. the speaker of the house of commons talking about this shooting that happened in croydon overnight. uk businesses already suffering from the impact of coronavirus face further uncertainty after missing out on help in the british government's new emergenchob support scheme. people in a number of sectors including retail and hospitality and those on zero—hours contracts fear for the future, as the head of one of britain's biggest high street chain warns that thousands of retail jobs are under threat. lord wolfson, who runs clothing firm next, said the posts of thousands of workers are now unviable because lockdown has triggered a permanent shift to online shopping. the state will now pay a maximum of 22% of employees wages. this contrasts with furlough which paid up to 80% of staff salaries. added to this is the new 10 pm closing time which has led to the pub, hospitality and leisure industries

fearing drastic loss of business. figures announced in the last couple of hours show the uk government borrowed £35.9 billion in august, as tackling the economic fallout of pandemic took its toll on the public finances. our political correspondent, leila nathoo, is at westminster. there has been mixed reaction to the statement of the chancellor as people try to unpacked exactly how manyjobs it people try to unpacked exactly how many jobs it will actually save. people try to unpacked exactly how manyjobs it will actually save. i think those borrowing figures you mentioned give us a clue why the chancellor has wound down the furlough because it was costing so much. when it was introduced at the government thought then there would just be temporary economic destruction and now the chancellor is saying we need to learn to live with covid and the economy has adjusted and i cannot keep funding jobs that no longer exist so he's wanting to talk about targeting

support at viable jobs which he thinks would be able to function with a bit of government help, perhaps businesses that can operate but are struggling and is going to top up the wages but that is an onus on businesses to pay workers for hours that they do not work. will that be enough of an incentive to get businesses to retain staff i will they still let them go? the chancellor has been honest and said he cannot save everyjob and is preparing for a rise in unemployment. here is what a remember about his treasury team, steve barclay, had to see earlier. —— had to say. it's about striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs, but the longer term affordability from a wider economic perspective, and that's why the chancellor set out more targeted measures at those jobs that are viable, but alongside that has a package, a plan forjobs, to enable us to retrain, get the skills support in to boost those sectors of the economy that can grow,

particularly for example through infrastructure investment, in order that we protect those jobs that we can. it's about striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs, but the longer term affordability from a wider economic perspective, and that's why the chancellor set out more targeted measures at those jobs that are viable, but alongside that has a package, a plan forjobs, to enable us to retrain, get the skills support in to boost those sectors of the economy that can grow, particularly for example through infrastructure investment, in order that we protect those jobs that we can. we are being honest that won't be everyjob, but it's important people aren't out of the labour market for extended periods. when this new protection scheme comes and that will be a revelation whichjobs comes and that will be a revelation which jobs survived. there are areas which jobs survived. there are areas which are still unable to operate fully because of government restrictions and they would argue they are viable and the only reason they are viable and the only reason they are viable and the only reason they are not viable is because of government restrictions in place. but the chancellor has rejected calls for a targeted furlough scheme that labour had been calling for earlier and replaced with measures that are for businesses that can

keep employees for the third of their hours. it is to help businesses that are on a more affordable footing but there will be very tough times ahead when the furlough scheme ends at the end of next week. how the government proceeds with lockdown measures and the hall lockdown strategy has been criticised by conservatives. there are rebels forcing —— wanting to force the prime minister to bring these to a vote. if you think back to march the government had to introduce an act called the coronavirus act which gave them powers including an emergency for the government acted in haste. no conservative mps are calling for more parliamentary scrutiny of any further restrictions which may come in. the coronavirus act has to be reviewed by law every six months. that time is up next week so you

have sirgraham that time is up next week so you have sir graham brady, a senior tory backbencher who has introduced an amendment to be looked at next week which will try to give parliament this see in any future lockdown restrictions and he has got the backing of more than a0 conservative collea g u es backing of more than a0 conservative colleagues which is a significant number because it does challenge the majority of the government so i think downing street will be watching very carefully what is going on with that there is a caveat, the amendment does have to be selected by the speaker so it is not a given there will be at debate and vote on it. i am sure the rebels are hoping with a show of support in those numbers the government will be willing to not take the risk and maybe lose a parliamentary vote and instead meet demands ahead of that vote on thursday. the french prime minister is warning it's a race against time to avoid a second coronavirus wave as severe as the first. jean castex said the public must act now to stop a repeat of the peak in spring. it comes as the country registers

a record number of new cases since mass testing began. here's mark lobel. as france's coronavirus death toll inches up, hospitals are at their busiest for months. inpatient numbers surging across the mainland and as far as guadeloupe in the caribbean. the head of the resuscitation department here says 31 patients were treated in the first wave. now, they have received 101 in a single month. it's a race against time, according to france's prime minister, jean castex, speaking on french tv, urging the public to be attentive. he wants to avoid another lockdown, but says it isn't off the cards. marseille's on maximum alert. residents here are banned from restaurants and bars from saturday. that's unpalatable for these restaurateurs. translation: these decisions come from paris! they don't really know

what is going to happen! if the bars close, people will not stop seeing each other. it's going to continue in houses, flats or whatever. translation: i think it is very unfair. we are here, we fight, we pay charges all year round. we don't understand any more, frankly. i think it's very, very unfair. paris is on an elevated alert, a 10pm curfew in bars from next week, gyms closed, and gatherings of no more than ten. restrictions too at roland—garros for this year's french open. last year, 37,000 fans were courtside each day. only 1,000 be allowed in for the final grand slam of this year. meanwhile, spaniards in southern districts of madrid are back in lockdown. like going back to the future. a fate other european countries may have to contemplate soon. mark lobel, bbc news.

university students in scotland are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend — following covid—19 outbreaks in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. hundreds of students have tested positive, and many more are self—isolating. they've been told they will be breaking the law if they leave their student accommodation and return home to visit theirfamilies. i think it was obviously the right advice and we should be maintaining social distancing and stuff but to be honest, i don't think it's very realistic. i think if there is a limit for people to go out until ten o'clock, i don't think why it should exclude students. the income of britain's royal family has been hit by coronavirus. it's likely to leave a £35 million hole in the royal finances, according to the latest accounts. that includes a shortfall of £15 million caused by the smaller number of visitors to royal palaces and galleries. it will also knock £20 million off the ongoing renovations to buckingham palace. our royal correspondent sarah campbell can tell us more.

they are still costing the taxpayer quite a bit. some coverage today on how much the royal travel plans are creating. this is the publication of the sovereign grant, the royal accounts. 33% is going to the refurbishment of buckingham palace. always with the royal accounts, travel is one of those issues, travel was up 15% over the last financial year, the most expensive royal tour turned out to be their final royal tour, this was the duke and duchess of sussex. they made a tour last autumn to southern africa. that costjust shy of £250,000. number two on the list, prince charles went to oman to offer his condolences after the death of the sultan. that came out at £210,000. that's because he was unable to secure a last—minute scheduled flight.

there has been an impact of the coronavirus there will be. they expect because the sovereign grant is made up partly of the profits from the crown estates because of things like rental incomes going down they think that will be smaller in future years and will impact on the resurfacing of buckingham palace which is a ten year programme which will have a £20 million shortfall and extra income from ticket prices from going into palaces and galleries. they say about £5 million drop because there are many more reductions in terms of the number of people allowed in those places but when asked about whether that means the taxpayer will have to give even more money to foot the bill the view from the palace is they will not ask for more taxpayers money and will make it through efficiency and savings and if you think in terms of

travel costs, the royals have not been travelling since coronavirus so thatis been travelling since coronavirus so that is in itself a cost saving for next year. the duke of york went to visit the open championship in portrush and got a chartered flight back she was just over £16,000 but the duke and duchess of york have good news. have good news. they are expecting a baby in early 2021. eugenie is the duke and duchess of york's youngest daughter, and the statement goes on to say, the duke of york and sarah, duchess of york, mr and mrs george brooksbank — she is married to jack brooksbank — the queen and the duke of edinburgh, are delighted with the news. us republican leader

mitch mcconnell has said there will be an "orderly" post—election transition after donald trump questioned the process's integrity. the top us senator said that, regardless of who wins the november presidential election, there will be a peaceful inauguration in january. our north america correspondent david willis reports. amid the growing alarm of members of both parties and despite reassurances from the white house to the contrary, donald trump doubled down on his refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the upcoming presidential election. we want to make sure that the election is honest and i'm not sure that it can be, i don't know that it can be with this whole situation — unsolicited ballots, they are unsolicited, millions being sent to everybody. americans are expected to vote by mail in this election in record numbers because

of the coronavirus. the president contends that could lead to widespread fraud — although there is little evidence to that effect. what is known, however, is that democrats are more likely to vote by mail than republicans, which mr trump's democratic rivaljoe biden believes might be the real reason for the president's opposition to postal ballots, and underpinned his possible reluctance to stand down. the american people will decide this election but a statement from the biden campaign is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the white house. no previous occupant of that building has cast doubt on the democratic process in quite this way, and it has left senior republicans scrambling to make clear their party will respect the constitution. there will be a smooth transition and i believe president trump will have a very good inaugural and we will reunite this nation, instead of radicalising this nation. crowd chants: vote him out!

booed as he paid his respects to the late supreme courtjustice ruth bader ginsburg, president trump knows it may fall to the highest court in the land to determine the outcome of this election, once all the wrangling over postal votes has run its course. there's nothing new about this. we've been voting by mail since the civil war, frankly, and many state administrators are very conversant with methods of securing the vote and making sure that it all happens smoothly. president trump cast doubt on the outcome of the last election, which he won. four years on, the stage is set for one of the most bitterly contested presidential contests ever. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... a police officer has been shot dead at croydon custody centre in south london. the bbc understands

the 23—year—old suspect then turned the gun on himself. the metropolitan police say the officer was taken to hospital where he later died. the policing minister, kit malthouse, calls it a "heinous crime". we ask our police officers to do an extraordinaryjob. the fact that one of them has fallen in the line of doing their duty is a tragedy for the entire nation. after the chancellor's latest coronavirus economic measures, some sectors say they're missing out, with the boss of next warning that thousands of retailjobs may become "unviable. " the cost of the pandemic. britain's debt continues to rise with borrowing hitting £35 billion in august hundreds of students at universities in scotland are self—isolating and all students are told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend. the queen's granddaughter, princess eugenie, has announced she's expecting a baby early next year. let's return to our top story

and the shooting dead of a police officer in south london. the officer was shot by a suspect at croydon custody centre. he was taken to hospital where he later died. the suspect also suffered a gunshot wound which appeared to be self—inflicted. a 23—year—old man has been arrested. joining me now is counter terrorism specialist chris phillips hejoins me from cornwall. thank you for your time today. we don't know the details and i don't wa nt to don't know the details and i don't want to speculate about the details but normally, can you give me an idea of what happens when a suspect is brought in and what kind of search procedures would happen. is brought in and what kind of search procedures would happenm fa ct, search procedures would happenm fact, the custody suite itself is effectively a funnel the people to get into the criminaljustice system. normally, you would expect someone involved in violence would be searched prior to getting to the

playstation but then, of course, is often very difficult to do that, so it's far more likely that a basic search would be done on the street and a much more thorough search conducted in the police station which can then be on film for evidential purposes. it's very unusual to lose a police officer's life in the uk at all but this is particularly tragic, with old everybody —— met with heard everybody —— met with heard everybody say that. we need to bearing mind that society is more violent. we are asking police office rs violent. we are asking police officers to go out, mainly armed, to deal with an ever more violent society whether it is a razor blade, police officers have to deal with that and once they get into the custody suite you would think it was a place of safety but it's not always the case as we saw here last night. correspondent said that it

possibly happened outside where the before the suspect was taken into the building. but we want to find out from the investigation. normally, is there a minimum number of offices who have to accompany someone being brought in? of offices who have to accompany someone being brought mm of offices who have to accompany someone being brought in? it depends on the nature of the offence for which they then arrested. we have issues now with major cutbacks where people, arrested people aren't taken —— are taken into these large holding stations where they are effectively then dealt with. previously, you'd go to your local police station. this person could have been arrested anywhere in south london and taken to the station. i don't know what he was arrested for so don't know what he was arrested for so it's difficult to speculate, but the more minor offences, i've walked many people into a station without handcuffing, just to take them in to

get them in front of the custody sergeant. it depends on when and where he was arrested and the officer has to make a risk assessment when they are dealing with them. do you think this is going to end up leading to more stringent procedures? the procedures are there. what we got at the moment isa are there. what we got at the moment is a society that are shouting and screaming about police officers searching. if this person had been searching. if this person had been search slightly better, this wouldn't have happened but we have a whole society that is up in arm where police officers are searching people for guns, razor blades in their belts, weapons, we've got to put our hands appear. there's a lot of very senior people in this country who have been shouting about police oppression, stop and search, if this man had been search slightly

better, this might not have happened. it's speculation, but searching is part of the armoury to keep people safe. widow neither backgrounds of anybody involved in this case so we must not link it to other political movements going on in anyway. are you calling for more arming of police, you're not calling for that are you? the use of tasers of officers patrolling now should be mandatory. we might see the end of single crewing, but that's not because of police actions but the public's inability to be policed by police action. we have an acceptance by the public generally who are very bad and whoever this is, if he's carrying a gun, there is an intention to kill someone, whether it's on the street or whether there

isa it's on the street or whether there is a police officer. more guns and knives exist on the streets and we have to support our police officers to make sure they get not only the tools and legislation to do their job at the support from the public to understand that these officers have got such a difficultjob to understand that these officers have got such a difficult job to do. thank you, chris. the met police federation has tweeted: this is completely devastating news. our thoughts are with our colleague's family, friends and close colleagues at this awful time. we are offering officers our support." the mayor of london sadiq khan has tweeted this morning, he said: "devastated by this news. my heart goes out to the family of this brave officer, who has paid the ultimate price for helping to keep londoners safe. tragic incidents like this are terrible reminders of the dangers our police officers face every single day. he went on to say: "my thoughts are also with the entire metropolitan police family, who i know will be deeply mourning their colleague at this extremely difficult time. i remain in close contact

with the commissioner to offer her and our met officers and staff my support." pubs in england closed at ten o' clock last night as part of the new rules to curb the spread of coronavirus. the closing time restrictions were implemented in the uk, partly due to evidence that it worked in belgium to bring case numbers down. the thinking behind this is that if people have less time to get drunk, they are less likely to ignore social distancing rules. we can hear more now about the belgian experience from professor marc van ranst — a virologist at ku leuven university in belgium — who also sits on an expert steering committee which advises the belgian government. thank you for your time, professor. can you tell us what happened with this earlier closing time in

belgian? in antwerp, when the epidemic got really bad and it was only in antwerp and i think it was 11 at that time. we've never had a closing hour. we are not used to that and our pubs now close at one o'clock in the morning. it has the advantage of avoiding people getting overly drunk and then not following the social distancing roles. when you say you don't have a closing time, do you mean pubs used to be open all the time? get a mac yes. in normal circumstances, we do not have a closing time and can be open until the early morning or whenever they choose to close. now, it's1am and in cities it's really bad. choose to close. now, it's1am and in cities it's really badlj choose to close. now, it's1am and in cities it's really bad. i know that in france, yesterday, they also proposed a closing hour of 10pm. what has been betting numbers?‘

proposed a closing hour of 10pm. what has been betting numbers? 11 or 12 days after it was implemented, the numbers went down and then, for what other reasons, the numbers went up what other reasons, the numbers went up again. it's not a measure well liked by our population but it is effective in what is one of the contributing factors in bringing the epidemic down. people are wondering whether closing for just epidemic down. people are wondering whether closing forjust one hour earlier will make a lot of difference because people can still gather on the streets or go to private houses. it's not going to affect people if you're worried about them having too much. it's also a signal, it's a clear signal that these are not usual times. something's up. i think sending that signal to a population, that's a very useful thing to do. you said then the numbers went down but then

they've gone up, thanks to other factors, so... you know, people will ask, there's so many mechanisms for transmission. what's the purpose of having just this one measure. we know the pub industries are struggling, are they? yes. they are struggling, are they? yes. they are struggling everywhere yet they are one of the contributing factors, it's also one of the solutions and let's hope that this horrible period ends as soon as possible in the pubs can be open in belgium or the time again. you think it's ok to keep them open for short time rather closing them completely? them open for short time rather closing them completely7m them open for short time rather closing them completely? if we go really in the red zone and go into lockdown again, that would be really, really devastating. professor, many thanks indeed from belgian. —— belgium.

so called ‘long covid' describes the often protracted after affects that some patients experience after having covid 19. for most people, symptoms last for only a short time — but this increasingly vocal group of patients believe that more clinical capacity and more research is required to understand why their symptoms we now speak to a doctor who contracted the virus and had persistent symptoms and lorraine pickering, who has also suffered from the symptoms of coronavirus. doctorj, can i ask you first, what symptoms have persisted? the many i've struggled with our persistent shortness of breath, chest pain, so ifind shortness of breath, chest pain, so i find that if i walk up a flight of stairs or if i lay flat, i'm quite short of breath and walking or very

simple tasks like that give me chest pain and before march, i was doing 12 hour shifts in ic you and i was going to the gym 3—a times per week so it's really important that we understand and measure the amount of people affected by this. it's clearly having a significant impact on lots of people. lorraine, tell us what happened to you.|j on lots of people. lorraine, tell us what happened to you. i contracted the virus on march the 15th and i had the usual symptoms. after a week, i thought i was getting better and thenl week, i thought i was getting better and then i got worse. the worst time for me was probably weeks 6—10, where i experienced incredibly bad chest pains, racing heartbeat, numbness and i pin eight. i had gastric symptoms. i lost a lot of

weight almost £2 per day, insomnia and hallucinations and that went on until week 12. i have and hallucinations and that went on untilweek12. i have neurological problems now, fatigue, migraine and difficult with sleeping, insomnia. you've evidently suffered quite a bit. doctor, is it possible to work out because of this, blood clots and how they virus affects organs within the body. is there any part of this which is psychological, due to the stress of being ill and living in these difficult times? the very honest answer is that we don't know what causes the symptoms yet. it's very clearly affecting a large number of people. the best evidence

we have is probably from the app which shows that 10% of people having symptoms beyond a month and probably 2% of people are having it for three months. there's evidence from studies published from germany which show that 78% of people who have had coronavirus, two thirds of which were not hospitalised have issues with mri scans, and oxford have produced scans which show that a0% of patients have evidence of single organ injury and 1a% have acute covert infection. —— with

these people who are very at the beginning or do you think anyone who's had this virus should be looking out and potentially getting checked for other symptoms? authors of the cardiac mri paper are very clear that the findings of myocarditis are unrelated to initial illness. what is myocarditis? inflammation of the heart. indeed, matt hancock himself has spoken about this at the health select committee in september and acknowledge that the symptoms of long coronavirus are debilitating and not well correlated to the initial severity of the infection. it's a complex picture and i think

most of the problems we are running into is the fact that there is no structured system to recurred outcomes, other than death. we need to setup away that we follow—up patients and get an accurate idea to find out what problems they are having. lorraine, it must be incredibly worrying for you. have you had a diagnosis and explanation for what is going on in your body? this is the key thing. i've seen lots and lots of doctors, because at the beginning, it was terrifying and completely bewildering and i was met with absolute kindness at every stage. no one does actually know and you become your own health detective. but, at the end of the day, we are not doctors. jake is a

doctor and we do have clinicians and out doctor and we do have clinicians and our support group but we don't have any medical expertise and that's why it's so important research is carried out. at the moment, i'm managing my symptoms. i do that through careful pacing but my life is completely contracted. i'm a teacher. there's no way are going to a classroom at the moment. i went la st a classroom at the moment. i went last beyond the end of the first lesson, so, you are confronted with huge lifestyle changes, and, as you say, it's a terrifying process. you are on a emotional roller—coaster. during the day, you'll symptoms can change. you think you are getting better but then you will be hit with a lot of symptoms. you will get another waiver. that sounds awful. doctorjake, should another waiver. that sounds awful. doctor jake, should we'll another waiver. that sounds awful. doctorjake, should we'll be getting a heart checkup, for example, if we

believe we've had coronavirus in the first place? should the government be releasing the numbers of people with these symptoms, basically, to warn people to be really careful about their behaviour. it's notjust debts we should be counting here. we can't give specific clinical advice, i think. anyone with symptoms needs to go and speak to the doctor but the way this needs to be addressed, multiple people have called for action now. i was one of 39 doctors who wrote a letter to the bmj calling for more research. leila maron has written to the prime minister calling for more research, on the 25th, and that letter is still awaiting a reply. matt hancock has acknowledged our letter from a group of patients and doctors at the health select committee which calls

for more research, so a lot of people are saying the same things. it's time now that we actually act on them and collect this data and set up some services to support these people. if we don't, what we have to acknowledge is that it's an area of uncertainty, so while we don't have that data, we need to be telling people that we actually don't know what the long—term consequences of this is, and that uncertainty needs to be expressed more clearly to the public. thank you very much, both of you, sharing what happened to you and we wish you the very best that you get through this period as fast as possible. thank you. now, a rather unusual story — a rat which has sniffed out

39 landmines and 28 other explosives on former battlefields in cambodia has been given an award for his lifesaving bravery. magawa — seen here doing his very important job — is the first rodent to receive a gold medal from the veterinary charity, the people's dispensary for sick animals in it's 77 year history. amazon has unveiled a security drone that can respond to an alarm in the home and record video of an intruder. but it is controversial and has raised some concerns over civil liberties. the bbc‘s james clayton has more from san francisco(tx next) the bbc‘s james clayton has more from san francisco. they saw drains as way to protect your home —— —— sec—mac. if there any security issues, can fly your drone around. the key thing here is

the privacy campaigners, drones are a great tool if you want to create a secret state. there are privacy concerns and they believe that this kind of technology doesn't create a surveillance state but, of course, it's pretty obvious that if you have cressida dicks flying around and that becomes the norm, —— drones. marine biologists working alongside fishermen and volunteers have now rescued 9a of the pilot whales which have been stranded off the west coast of tasmania. they are hoping to escort twelve more out to sea. the team says it's hard to know

exactly how many whales have died in the mass beaching, but its estimated to be around 350. the singer—songwriter michael kiwanuka has won this year's mercury prize for his self—titled third album. he beat the likes of dua lipa and stormzy to scoop the honour — which comes with a 25—thousand pound prize — but the usual glitzy award ceremony was cancelled because of covid—19. our arts editor will gompertz has more. # don't hesitate. ..# it was a case of third time lucky for the 33—year—old london—born musician, winning the prestigious award for his third album, which had earned him his third nomination. it was a happy ending to a prolonged period of self—doubt for the singer—songwriter. i've always been kind of worried about my place in the musical landscape, where i fit in, all those kinds of questions. and with this one ijust kind of made the decision that i wanted to not really worry about those things and create my own lane, you know?

they are not protest songs, but his music definitely has something to say. i want to see black violin players, conductors, notjust in the boxes we are used to seeing. where we see ourselves in music. we can be anything, you know, we have had to struggle with prolonged time and music is great, i guess, home for that kind of talent. # my hero now...#

kiwanuka is at times upbeat and funky, at others introspective and soulful. there are hints ofjimi hendrix—inspired psychedelic guitar, of bill withers' sunny optimism and bob dylan's poetic lyrics. a lot with an album, you'll love it and then there might be a song that feels a little bit subpar compared to the rest. there is no dud moment in this album. it's a complete body of work that is consistent throughout. it is a musically adventurous, meticulously produced album by a royal academy of music dropout turned mercury prize—winning artist. will gompertz, bbc news. # solid ground...# breaking news from paris, it's been reported that the french prime minister has said an attacker has injured two people near the film offices of charlie head though ——
