northampton and for hayes. we're shopping online like never before. yodel‘s now creating nearly 3,000 new roles to cope with our christmas orders. i think it will be the biggest online christmas ever, by some way. certainly at yodel, it will be our biggest ever year, there will be abouti million parcels extra in our busiest week compared to last year. an industry determined to get all our deliveries on the road, but it's also warning us to shop early. we think that the volumes are going to be really very excessive this year online, so while that in itself isn't a problem, getting too much of it too close to christmas is going to be a bit of a problem. so, if you could spread it out a bit more, do quite a lot of it in november, maybe do a bit now, then that would help avoid too much too close to christmas. things are changing fast with this pandemic — will we actually be buying loads of presents if we can't celebrate as normal? and as job losses start to mount,

it's gearing up to be a christmas like no other. boots is going early — its festive range is now hitting the shelves. the boss told me customers are asking for it, worried about money, lockdowns and safety. searches online for christmas for three—for—two, for all of the things that we do online are significantly higher cramming in isjust not going to work. we're certainly going to run not black friday, but black november, we're going to run our deals and so on over the whole month to make sure that we have capacity to do a really good service for everybody, and we're really hoping people will spread out their shopping. john lewis has seen an early surge in interest too. who knows how jolly this christmas will be? but one thing is for sure, it will be more digital than ever when it comes to shopping. emma simpson, bbc news.

time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. very chilly and the chilly weather is here to stay throughout the weekend. but not going to be too bad. we might catch fleeting rain here and there. but nothing compared to what we have right now along the north sea coast. there is some awful weather, really quite stormy conditions anywhere from the yorkshire coast all the way down towards east anglia. a nasty area of low pressure has put itself in the southern north sea and is generating vicious gusts of wind. that is very close to grimsby, 67 mph in the last hour or two and even inland when‘s approaching a0 to 50 mph across eastern parts of the uk. 0n approaching a0 to 50 mph across eastern parts of the uk. on top of that, we have heavy rain which is also fleeting, carried on that very strong wind arrangement macro the north sea. but this is more local because many of us, it is a

com pletely because many of us, it is a completely different story with lengthy sunny spells, the odd shower with lighter winds, it doesn't feel too bad. from the tip of cornwall all the way into the western isles. you can see the nasty weather keeps clipping and clipping the far east of the country. towards the west, the winds will be light and the skies are clearing and it will be a really nippy start to saturday. they degrees in central london. tomorrow, we still have the remnants of that gale, the stormy weather along the north sea coast. bringing showers to parts of east anglia and lincolnshire. but again, the best of the weather is further west and north. northern ireland, scotland, fabulous conditions on the way. and on sunday, still in between weather systems. that is the jet stream. with the weather fronts here and more unsettled weather across southern parts of europe. we are in between and that does mean these weather fronts will be either side of the british isles. the best of the weather sandwiched in across

cornwall, devon, wales, the north west of england, northern ireland and western scotland. and a chilly, temperatures recovering to around 17 degrees, so with sunshine and later winds, it will be one of the best places. early next week, we lose over all that cool northerly wind. we will replace it, mother nature will replace it with these milder weste rli es. will replace it with these milder westerlies. but this time of year when we get the milder westerlies, that often means clouds increase, the wind and the rain across much of the wind and the rain across much of the country. you can see how those temperatures are recovering as we go to the second half of the weekend into next week with a hint of something more unsettled. a reminder of our top story... a police officer is shot dead at a custody centre in south london by a man who was being detained. tributes have been paid. this is a sad day for our country as, once again, we see the tragic killing of a police officer in the line of duty as they are trying to protect us and keep us safe.

the met is a family, policing is a family in london and across the united kingdom. and today, we police are all mourning a great loss. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. tottenham have been given a bye into the next round of the league cup, after a coronavirus breakout at leyton orient meant they couldn't play their tie. they were due to play on tuesday but a number of 0rient players tested positive for covid—i9 and their stadium and training ground were closed until further notice. they've also been forced

to postpone tomorrow's league two game at walsall. spurs will now play chelsea next week. manchester united have had a miserable start to the season they may have beaten luton in the league cup but manager 0le gunnar solskjaer wasn't happy with their performance and it came three days after they'd lost at home to crystal palace in their opening premier league match. they're away at brighton in the lunch—time kick—off tomorrow. and solskjaer says he's not in the business of giving players match time to make sure they stay in peak form, they all need to be ready to go. you know, players are happy when they play well and when games. i'm happy when they play well and win game. it's my not myjob to make them happy. my job game. it's my not myjob to make them happy. myjob is to pick players for a job sol them happy. myjob is to pick players for a job so i get results. and to make sure they are ready when called upon. the former tour de france champion geraint thomas is among the field for the men's time trial at the road world championships in imola, which isjust getting underway. the early starters are out.

each event starts and finishes on the imola motor racing circuit, but each route breaks out onto the roads of the emilia romagna region. you can watch it live on the red button, iplayer and bbc sport website. thomas is due to start at 2.2apm and he's expecting a really open race. i think especially with this year, there are a lot of guys who are really good everything and it's unpredictable, really. nobody really stands out. there's a good view five or six on paper that could win it. it will be close and exciting for sure. chloe dygert is expected to make a full recovery after a horrific crash in yesterday's women's time trial. the american was on course to retain her title, when she lost controljust after the half—way point. she suffered a deep cut above her left knee, but surgery to repair the damage was successful. coverage from imola starts at one o'clock on the red button, iplayer and the bbc sport website.

only 1,000 spectators will be allowed each day at the french open, which starts on sunday. the french tennis federation aren't happy. they'd already reduced the number from 11,500 to 5,000 but they've now been forced to comply with new government coronavirus restrictions. by contrast, over half a million people attended the event at roland garros last year. there'll be a draw this afternoon to determine which ticket holders get to keep their seats. the european masters snooker continues today — without ronnie 0'sullivan. it was only last month that he was moaning about the lack of up and coming talent. well, last night he discovered there's at least one rising star out there. aaron hill is 18, he's from cork in ireland — and he wasn't even born when 0'sullivan won the first of his six world championships back in 2001 but he beat him by five frames to four in milton keynes. hill only turned professional in march. he plays matthew stevens this afternoon and if he gets through,

he'll have another match at 7pm this evening. be careful what you wish for, ronnie 0'sullivan. second practice is underway for the russian grand prix — lewis hamilton hoping for better than the 19th place he managed in the first session — you can follow it on the bbc sport website. i'll be back with more later. thanks very much indeed. more now on our main story. the commissioner of the metropolitan police, cressida dick, has paid tribute to the police officer who was shot by a suspect who was being detained at a custody centre in south. she said her heartfelt condolences went to his family, friends and colleagues. along serving officer with the police who lost his life in our

croydon custody suite last night. i've spoken to our office in‘s partner together with other collea g u es partner together with other colleagues and we are, of course, giving her the best support we can. my giving her the best support we can. my heartfelt condolences go to her, to theirfamily, my heartfelt condolences go to her, to their family, to my heartfelt condolences go to her, to theirfamily, to his colleagues and close friends. i'm thinking also of everyone who is involved in and those affected by this terrible event. we are all deeply shocked and very sad. the metropolitan police as a family. policing is a family, in london and across the united kingdom. today, we police are all

mourning a great loss. i would like to thank our officers and the staff together with colleagues from the london ambulance service, the london airambulance and all our london ambulance service, the london air ambulance and all our medical and hospital colleagues who i know did everything they could to save his life. a murder investigation is under way and officers are working at several crime scenes to secure evidence and to establish facts of what happened. we are working closely with the independent 0ffice for police conduct. early indications are that the suspect shot himself. this has not yet, of

course, been established as a fact. the man i can tell you remains in a critical condition in hospital. i do understand that there is considerable interest in the identity of my colleague but i cannot tell you yet his name, as we have not yet been able to inform all of his close family. investigations will establish the full facts of what has happened and i would ask you, as far as is possible, to show restraint in speculation at this time. this terrible incident underlined, again, how police officers face danger every single

day, 2a 7,365 in their work in protecting our public. thank you all for your thoughts and i will issue more information when i can later today. cressida dick speaking a few moments ago. i've got some news in from public health england. the latest r number is now at 1.2 and that's up again so another indication that coronavirus cases arising in the uk. let's also return to the last news that wales has

announced new virus restrictions in cardiff, swansea and other places. as cases are rising rapidly, we decided to introduce coronavirus restrictions locally. these will happen in swansea, cardiff and llanelli. these measures reflect the seriousness of this position and we ask people to reflect on their own conduct and avoid unnecessary contact. conduct and avoid unnecessary co nta ct. we conduct and avoid unnecessary contact. we will closely monitor the situation, in glamorgan and review whether these areas also need to

come under the local restriction regime at the same time as swansea and cardiff. these restrictions mean that when in force, people living in these areas will not be able to enter or leave the area without a reasonable excuse. they will not be able to meet indoors with anyone they do not live with, for the time being. extended households, sometimes called bubbles will be suspended for the time being. all licensed premises will have to stop serving alcohol from ten in line with national restrictions, and eve ryo ne with national restrictions, and everyone must work from where possible. up until now, we have placed whole local authority areas under restrictions but in the case of llanelli, we are acting on a more localised basis for the first time because the spread of coronavirus is concentrated on the town itself so we will use the ward boundary

defined the limit of restriction so people know what rules to follow. barry port will not be included. there will be a postcode checker on our websites about restrictions. people will be living in areas under locally restrictions to prevent further spread of coronavirus and protect their health. there are a series of rules applying across wales to those living in wales which apply to licence primitives, meeting indoors and wearing face covering. —— licensed premises. we are seeing this happen in new newport and caerphilly, numbers are dropping. let's turn now to the new measures announced yesterday by the chancellor to protect the economy.

earlier my colleague annita mcveigh put your questions about thejob support scheme to two experts in a special edition of your questions answered. you've been sending in your questions aboutjobs you've been sending in your questions about jobs and you've been sending in your questions aboutjobs and the economy to ask. thank you for those. here to a nswer to ask. thank you for those. here to answer your questions are the chief economist from the institution of directors, and employment lawyer... will have a question for you from laura, will people from the scheme be required to do unpaid work for their community to make up the hours they are being paid for by not working? i may have missed something but didn't hear anything about that

yesterday. no. there is no requirement that people to make up time in that way. what we did see with the retention scheme was lots of people volunteering so i think we'd be hopeful that people will volunteer to work within their communities. maybe they've already been doing and will continue to do so. been doing and will continue to do so. if returned to work isn't for ours, absolutely. being in the event sector, we have no income generating work in the future however, there stop maintenance work to be done to potential future bookings. stop maintenance work to be done to potentialfuture bookings. does this count as viable work with mike that's an interesting question and i have a lot of people tweeting about this, worried about what the future holds for them. viable is a bit of an ambiguous term and we're hoping that the guidance will help clarify this but it's largely based on the capacity of the business itself to

retain and to pay the additional amount to keep that work on, so, in this situation, it seems like this wouldn't be deemed —— would be deemed as viable work but, as i've said, hopefully, we'll get clarification on what viable means. it's a pretty subjective term and lots of businesses may say, well, yes, i would have to put my business on ice but beyond that, if we are out of the worst of this pandemic, the business would then instantly become viable again so it's an interesting word. much discussion about to go on, as you say. another question, what should i do if my employer is still requiring to work from my office when we could be working from home? the first thing i would do is try to understand why

the employer thinks it's important to work from the office. however informal conversation with someone in management to understand the employer's perspective and then, doesn't work i would speak to the employer's grievance process. is there something that can be done to demonstrate for example that a workplace is coronavirus secure? trying to understand where the employer is coming from and whether they're providing coronavirus secure workplace is important. they can require employees to go in if it's not effective for them to work from home. there could be concerns about whether someone or how someone can travel in, it's one thing to say to driving in your own space, your own car but another to go on public transport which may raise lock concern that some people. what i

would say would be, i was on the trains last week and the trains were brilliantly managed but others have had different experience. employers can factor this in. whether employees can walk, cycle or whether they are being forced onto public transport and it's something you would weigh up in the balance whether you are going to ask people to come in. 0k. interesting. question from david fleming in north lanarkshire. he says i'm a self—employed taxi driver in scotland. how this worked for me? self—employed taxi driver in scotland. how this worked for me7m addition to the job support scheme which is an extension of the job scheme, there is now extension for the self employed but it comes in at a lower rate which is 20% of your profits up to a cap, so this does tend to help most self—employed people but a lot will miss out,

unfortunately. we don't know if david set up as a limited company, but if he's not? if he isn't, then he should be able to apply for self—employment grant and get 20% of his average profits. in addition, there was an announcement around extending your tax payments. we know some self—employed people who do self—assessment tax, payments will be able to be extended for a longer period of time next year rather than having to clump all of that payment into early next year. some good pointers the david to follow—up on. fill in whether the said how does this affect us in the arts and entertainment industries? i work for a theatre and there are no shows planned no work to go back to. it looks like we are overlooked yet again. this is one of the sectors

that feels like they were left out last time and says, we are still being left out. yes. the difficulty with this game for some employers is that where there is no work to be done, you are not covered by this new scheme because employees have to be working a third of their hours and therefore, they will be lots of businesses which will be out of the scope of this unfortunately. it's a really, really difficult one. ifeel for those in this position. another question from sarah, following on from the points raised by feel and it comes back to this word viable. could you please explain asked sarah, what viable and a non—viable job is? again, it's going to come down to the employer and the business and whether they think it's viable to be retaining that work and then paying the additional amount thatis then paying the additional amount that is required under the job support scheme. of course, it

difficult for businesses to decide whether they viable because they have little clarity with the path of the pandemic and how those restrictions will play out. one thing that could help businesses to determine whether things are more viable for them are the range of other measures announced yesterday. for example, there were more announcements around the debt that a business might have taken out over the course of the pandemic. so, those might help make things more viable, but at this stage, is remains quite an ambiguous term. that kind of assistant, we just don't know that some businesses it may make a difference. as i mentioned earlier, they may be able to put things on ice for however many months and hopefully re—emerge afterwards. 0ther many months and hopefully re—emerge afterwards. other people won't be able to sustain that. they'll have to look for other work or go on benefits. yes. as we've heard, it's

affecting different industries. we've heard from the entertainment sector, the retail and hospitality sector, the retail and hospitality sector which are likely to be impacted a lot more by the new restrictions over the coming six months. so, this may not cover them well enough in the hope would be that, i know the disappointment yesterday is that there wasn't specific support announced and hopefully this is something the government will look to in the coming months. question from mayo houston. if my hours are reduced from 30 to 20 during the time i have to shield, do my employees know how to shield, do my employees know how to reinstate the 30 hours. -- employer. it depends on the situation. if it was presented as a temporary reduction, then hopefully employers put a time limit on that and in which case they would have to

t and in which case they would have to opt that 230. the difficulty here is this vague notion of, we will notify you when it's appropriate increases hours and that's why there may be some uncertainty. employers need to be mindful when dealing with employees with shielding is they are liable to be covered by the equalities act so you must be careful not to inflict any detriment onto people who are shielding. i think communication and transparency here 0k. time forjust one more. this is asking, nothing has said for those like me who are contractors via limited companies. leaves receive little support so far. what's next? what advice for them? this has been a difficult one since the pandemic began because there's

been very little support for individuals who might remunerate themselves more through their limited company as to through their paye limited company as to through their pay e syste m. limited company as to through their paye system. the government response ifar has been paye system. the government response i far has been the paye system. the government response ifar has been the individuals in this situation can use the job support scheme on the job retention scheme to get payments or grants for the amount of salary they pay themselves. unfortunately, there won't be any coverage them on dividends and this is a big concern to them. a lot of our members will be hoping to push the treasury more on this in the coming months. you are watching bbc news. time now for the weather. that cold wind, really noticeable for many of us

particularly those on the north sea coast and it's going to stay chilly right through the weekend. sunshine around although it will be chilly. thus to 50 mph off the coast of yorkshire and in access of 60 —— excess of 60. heavy rain, nasty area of low pressure which is parked itself in the southern portion of the north sea but for most of us, much lighterfurther the north sea but for most of us, much lighter further across the country. clearing skies and some frost. gales in east anglia, coastal areas but not so much inner land most of us having a fine day with some sunshine. temperatures no higher than 11 — 12 celsius.

this is bbc news, i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines... a police officer is shot dead at station in south london by a man who was being detained. it's understood the suspect then turned the gun on himself. he's now in a critical condition. the home secretary paid tribute. this is a sad day for our country as once again we see the tragic killing of a police officer in the line of duty as they are trying to protect us and keep us safe. cardiff, swansea and llanelli are put into local lockdown from this weekend — it comes as concerns grow over the rapid increase in the number of coronavirus cases. leeds is expected to be the next city in england to face new coronavirus restrictions and london is added to the government's watchlist. hundreds of thousands of high street jobs may not survive because of the pandemic,

says the boss of the
