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 clothing firm next. we will inevitably and have already reduced the number of people working in our shops. and i expect that to continue over the coming five or six years as the demand for retail goes down. but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training new recruits in our call centres and warehouses. as royal finances are hit by the pandemic, new figures show harry and meghan‘s last royal visit cost almost a quarter of a million pounds. and a warning from shops to stuff your christmas stockings early — as more people than ever are expected to buy online. a police officer has been shot dead

at a custody centre in croydon in south london by a man who was being detained. it is thought the suspect was searched at the custody centre, before producing a weapon and firing it at an officer. it's understood he then turned the gun on himself. the officer, who has not yet been identified, was treated at the scene but later died in hospital of gunshot wounds. the 23—year—old suspect is in a critical condition. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. investigating the murder of one of their own colleagues, forensics officers poring over the scene at croydon custody centre in south london. it appears that a suspect was brought into the centre in a police vehicle at around 2:15am and then shot the custody sergeant in the chest before shooting himself. the officer, who was only a few weeks from retirement, died in st george's hospital in tooting. he has not yet been named as his family overseas are still being contacted.

we are all deeply shocked and very sad. policing is a family in london and across the united kingdom, and today we police are all morning a great loss. as well as investigating the murder, it has been investigated by the office for police conduct. this is a sad day for a country is once again we see the tragic killing a police officer in the line of duty as they are trying to protect us and keep us safe. later on today i will be meeting with the metropolitan police commissioner to discuss the investigation that is taking place, and of course the police service need the time in the space to get on with the inquiry that now needs to follow. the prime minister said his

deepest condolences go to the custody sergeants family, the police federation that the news was utterly devastating and heartbreaking.” know that police services like a family and many of his colleagues are across the mat and the country and they will be grieving and feeling the loss of this brave police officer. this aspect of the shooting is in critical condition in the hospital after having surgery, investigation will focus on whether the suspect had already been searched before he arrived to the custody centre and whether he was in handcuffs. but above all today, all those that are involved in policing are in deep shock as once again an officer has been killed in duty. our reporter greg mackenzie is at the scene of the shooting. much obvious shock at this killing. what more can you tell us about what's going on? all morning and all

afternoon, locals have been arriving here to pay their respects, laying floral tributes just outside the custody centre just behind me. what we do know is the 23—year—old subject was brought to the police centre at about 215 this morning, it was there where he shot the custody sergeant before turning the gun on himself. in terms of the custody sergeant, he was due for retirement, we are told, in a few weeks' time. despite the efforts of the paramedics who arrived here pretty $0011 paramedics who arrived here pretty soon after, they couldn't save him, he was later pronounced dead at saint george's hospital a few miles from here. as for the 23—year—old who turned the weapon on himself, he is currently in a critical condition in hospital. of course, there are difficult questions that will need to be answered as to how and why this individual was able to bring

the weapon into the custody centre, and there is an ongoing investigation with the iop c to determine the exact cause, how, why, when, but tributes, as he or been hearing, led by the prime minister, the home secretary, the mayor of london, all paying their respects to this officer who has died in the line of duty. 0k, greg, thanks for that update. the boss of the clothing store next has warned that thousands of retail jobs may become ‘unviable', because the coronavirus pandemic may have caused a permanent shift to online shopping. lord wolfson welcomed the newjob support scheme announced yesterday by the chancellor, which will see the government top le unable to work full—time. but he said it was important that businesses eventually learn to live without government support. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. in better times, the swingers golf

bar in central london would be thronging with people, but the new realities of social distancing, limited group sizes and curbs on opening hours are taking a heavy toll on its finances, and the boss says the latest government help doesn't go far enough. now we are reopened, we are really not getting that much in the way of support. the vat cut is going to help us a bit and it will free up a little bit of cash but the job support scheme, frankly, is coming too late. we have already had to make staff redundant because we didn't know what the future looked like and the government was giving very little clarity. so there will be bits of money that we save from it but overall the industry needs a lot more support. the newjob support scheme comes with strict conditions. for example, staff will have to work at least one third of their normal hours in order to be eligible. it is much less generous than the furlough scheme it replaces and employers themselves will have to make a bigger contribution. even so, it is expected to cost the taxpayer £1.2 billion every month.

many businesses are now facing the prospect of a very bleak winter. pubs, clubs, theatres and restaurants have already been badly hit. airlines and travel firm say they are haemorrhaging money. and high street retailers are losing out too as customers move online. we will inevitably, and have already, reduce the number of people working in our shops and i expect that to continue over the coming five or six years as the demand for retail goes down. but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training new recruits in our call centres, in our warehousing, our distribution networks are taking on new employees. tackling the pandemic has been an expensive process for the chancellor, rishi sunak. in august, government borrowing was more than £30 billion higher than the same month last year. the government insists the furlough scheme has to end because it simply can't afford to continue paying most of the wages of millions of workers indefinitely. it is about striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs, but the longer term affordability

from a wider economic perspective and that is why the chancellor set out more targeted measures, those jobs that are viable, but alongside that has a package, a plan forjobs, to enable us to retrain, get the skill support in to boost those sectors of the economy that can grow. the chancellor insists his newjob support scheme will benefit large numbers of workers, but critics believe it will only slow job losses rather than preventing them. what he has done will help but it won't completely halt the rising unemployment. the big worry here is that what we will see is a large rise in the coming months, and particularly worrying is that it could happen in january when the virus looks set to still be around. the government believes that by targeting its support towards viable jobs and businesses, it can sow the seeds of a strong recovery when the pandemic is over. but for many, the withdrawal of the furlough scheme has left them facing a struggle simply to survive. theo leggett, bbc news.

peter lloyd is the chef patron and owner of sticky mango restaurant near waterloo. hejoins me now. good afternoon to you. you've heard the details of the chancellor's job support scheme, how much is that going to help you? it's not going to help us hugely, fortunately, i've managed to bring all of my staff back off the furlough scheme. we haven't been able to reopen for lunch, so it will help a little bit, but it's going to cost, i think the bigger restaurant companies a lot more money, so it is not really going to savejobs. more money, so it is not really going to save jobs. we will be grateful for what we have been given, but a lot of people have not been given anything, so we will be grateful. so you can't open for lunch, you are open for dinner, how much are the numbers of customers, how much hasn't gone down by? our reservation system is a bit like the london stock market, every time the

government make an announcement, our numbers go up or down, soon as i make the announcement about the ten o'clock curfew, we lost 30 covers that day. it is notjust about closing at ten o'clock, it is a negative impact that it puts in people's mines about is it still safe to go out and dine in all restau ra nts. safe to go out and dine in all restaurants. so you lost 30 tables when that was made, does at ten o'clock curfew make sense to you? know, the government has always had we we re know, the government has always had we were led by the signs, but i see no signs or evidence that suggests we are no better at being kobe secure that we were an hour before. —— covid—secu re. secure that we were an hour before. -- covid-secure. it may be that people who have had less a drink may be more mindful of social distancing rules. it may be no different than the restaurants around us, but the government now have london and all around the country people evacuating

restau ra nts, pu bs around the country people evacuating restaurants, pubs and bars at ten o'clock and causing a congestion in the city which i think is causing more harm. so you say that you have managed to bring all of your staff back off of furlough, but you are now facing these new restrictions of a ten o'clock curfew, what is not going to do to your staffing numbers? we have to see, we have to be creative, the problem is i closing at ten o'clock isn'tjust closing at ten o'clock isn'tjust closing at ten o'clock, because what that means for us is that we can't ta ke that means for us is that we can't take any more reservations now after half past eight. so that is going to have a big impact on us, we are going to have to be creative, we're looking at opening on sundays and perhaps doing tate away —— take away for the later tables. it's tricky, we almost felt like bouncers, having to throw people out of the restau ra nt. to throw people out of the restaurant. you are eligible, having brought workers back from furlough, for the government's £1000 per worker scream in january —— for the government's £1000 per worker scream injanuary —— scheme injanuary, worker scream injanuary —— scheme in january, that will help. it will

help if we can keep them on during 0ctober help if we can keep them on during october and november, but at the rate everything is going now, i think we have to make the most of the time now because come then, we might be in the second lockdown. the time now because come then, we might be in the second lockdownm you were able to say something to the chancellor and also to the health secretary, what would you say? i think that they need to assess different establishments, working with the council, to do a report to see if we are covid—secure, report to see if we are covid—secu re, and report to see if we are covid—secure, and if we are, that i think we should be entitled to keep our restaurant open normal hours and not make this sweeping blanket decision to shut everybody at ten o'clock. 0k, we are going to have to leave it there, thank you very much, peter lloyd who is the owner of the sticky mango restaurant near waterloo. the welsh government has announced new coronavirus restrictions to be introduced in cardiff, swansea and llanelli. 0ur correspondent hywel griffith told us the latest from cardiff.

so these restrictions will come into force over the weekend. there are already six council areas in wales under local lockdown measures. this adds three more, cardiff, the capital, and swansea, the second largest city in wales, will both commence the local lockdown measures as of 6pm on sunday, but before that, the west wales town of llanelli will also come under measures at 6pm tomorrow. what does it mean for people living there? they can no longer travel in or out of the council area without good reason, like going to work or travelling for education. vitally, people shouldn't go into anyone else's house, so extended households, or bubbles, come to an end in those areas at those times. already, closing time has been fast forwarded to ten o'clock here in wales and across the uk, so the other restriction that we saw in the other areas aren't so relevant, but it will now mean once those measures are in place, that almost half the welsh population, 1.5 million people, will be under local lockdown measures. they were announced earlier on by the welsh government's health

minister, vaughan gething, this is what he had to say. the local restrictions mean that when enforced, people living in llanelli, cardiff and swansea 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, so extended households, sometimes called bubbles, will be suspended for the time being. there was the question of why the rest of wales isn't being put under similar measures if we are seeing this virus spread. the answer was that at the moment, local intelligence suggest in north and west wales, the rates are far, far lower, however, this will be a warning to people there that rates are rising across the country. leeds is expected to be the next city in england to face new coronavirus restrictions. 0ur correspondent phil bodmer sent us the latest. leeds is home to more than three quarters of a million people with

a substantial student population. it's been an area of concern for some weeks now. later today, it's expected to become an area of intervention. this will bring it into line with our other areas in yorkshire which have been under similar restrictions, bradford, calderdale, and kirklees. now, we think this is likely to be introduced from midnight tonight, and this means no mixing between different households in homes and gardens, and the advice is not to socialise with people outside of public venues. communities here are being urged to protect themselves. in the last hours so, the council has been giving a briefing to journalists and which the chief executive, the leader of the council and the director of public health leeds told us that cases here in leeds are high and they are rising. 780,000 people are likely to fall under this restriction. there will be exemptions for those with caring responsibilities, but as i say, we are expecting more details later this afternoon from the government.

london has been added to the coronavirus watch list as an area of concern. the mayor of london sadiq khan explained that there have been many indicators that the virus is worsening in the capital, which he discussed with the prime minister on tuesday. the prime minister did seem to be aware of some of the concerns that we have, and i explained to him our concerns in relation to other indicators that show the virus is rising in our city. although the tests have gone down, so the number of positive cases may appear to be a comfort to the government, in fact, we know the cases are going up, infection rates are going up, hospital admissions are going up, calls to gps have been going up, calls to 111 have been going up, blood donors tested for the antibodies have been going up, admissions to icu has been going up, and the government has confirmed today that london is now added in the list of areas of concern on the government's watchlist, and that is because

the government finally realises there's an issue. and what i'm saying to the government is they must urgently increase the amount of testing available in our city. it's been an example of the incompetence of this government that they have not managed to have a fully functioning testing system still six months after this virus first came to public attention. at least two people have been injured in a knife attack in paris this morning. 0ur correspondent lucy williamson sent us the latest. police have courted off the area around this attack. they have told us that they have arrested two suspects, one of them, they say, was found with blood on his shirt. and the prime minister has spoken briefly about this attack saying that four people have been injured, two of them seriously, he, the prime minister, is now going into a crisis meeting with other members of the government, but the sight of police blocking off this area, very close to the former offices of charlie hebdo will bring back painful memories for people here in france. and the timing of this attack also

won't go unnoticed, with the trial happening in paris at the moment of many of those accused of involvement in that attack five years ago. students at universities in scotland are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend, to try to stem a wave of covid—19 infections. hundreds of students have tested positive, and many more are self—isolating. the body that represents universities across the uk has urged the government to increase testing capacity. i am joined now by professorjohn ashton, who is the former regional director of public health for the north—west of england and is the author of a new book on the pandemic, ‘blinded by corona.‘ thinking very specifically about universities and the rise in infections that we are seeing, you have got quite a radical suggestion about student populations. tell us about student populations. tell us about it. it isn't radical, really,

when you look at the large, office—based companies, the insurance and banking companies, they have been saying before the announcement of this week that they didn't want their staff back altogether until next year, and most of them have been working on a ratio of them have been working on a ratio of having a third of the staff in on any one day. but we have taken this different approach to the schools, colleges and universities and wanting everybody to be back in. and when you consider that the main issue with this virus is crowding, it's a crowded disease, what we really need is to reduce the density to make that possible. so my argument is that we should only have argument is that we should only have a third of the people on any of these campuses at any one time, and these campuses at any one time, and the implications of that are that we need to radically get behind remote learning so that people are at home or in their student hall or house for part of the week, and then they are able to do that. so we need to

make that bear, but there are other things that need to happen here because a lot of children and stu d e nts because a lot of children and students have been falling behind on their studies over the last few months, and the government really needs to step back from this and with leadership and vision, we need to extend the academic year until the end of next year, so everyone has a the end of next year, so everyone hasafair the end of next year, so everyone has a fair crack at the whip in covering the curriculum. we also need to be able to take on board the 30,000 - 40,000 need to be able to take on board the 30,000 — 40,000 teachers who graduated as teachers in the summer who aren't working in schools at the moment because the schools don't have any money to employ them. if we took them on, we can have smaller class sizes. they need to be putting up class sizes. they need to be putting up temporary classrooms in the school yards and playing fields so they can accommodate more kids there, taking on unemployed graduates who graduated injune as teaching assistants as well so that they are kept from being unemployed.

we are looking at 4 million unemployed in october and november. and with all of these kinds of things, we need some imagination. there is a great deal and what you say, if i can bring you back to university, the government has said that its priorities are health and education, and you know as well as everybody else that a student, the university experience is precisely that, it is an experience, not simply education, but being part of a student community, and that is why university students have been told to go back. i totally agree with that, but we have looked at it from the point of view of how do we make it possible for students, and these really critical years of young adults when people want to be out and about, socialising, boyfriends, girlfriends, all of that, how do we do that in a harm reduction way? how do that in a harm reduction way? how do we make it possible without compromising their situation or the health of other people? that is a

question, that is the examination question, that is the examination question, it is not about throwing everybody back the campus at the same time, we need use our imagination to say how do we enable them to do this. they need to testing, that is why this testing is such a disaster, i know liverpool university is testing the students, they set it up, we need testing. there are several universities that have set up testing, their own testing systems. and that needs to happen, but this nonsense of throwing billions of pounds at companies who are completely unable to do it, it has got to stop, the resource needs to go into the local public health teams, into the schools, into the universities, into the workplaces, so that regular testing of those people who need to be out and about and in public facing roles can take place, probably every week for a lot of people. 0k, very good to talk to

you. thank you very much. rosa georgiou is a second year student at the university of edinburgh and shejoins me now. rosa, what an extraordinary start it is to your second year, how has it been? how did you hear about the extra restrictions that were brought in? last night was a very chaotic start to that comment was coming up to the end of our first week of online learning, just starting to get our support networks up and running and then suddenly we get a news alert at 6:30pm telling us that all these restrictions are coming in and beginning at the start it was about how long that would last, and that we later got it confirmed to us at10:30pm, we got that we later got it confirmed to us at 10:30pm, we got an e—mailfrom the university, no support included, just a clear outline of the new restrictions. it is just a really chaotic way to find out about something that is going to have a big impact on the rest of our learning this year. so you were told

that there is no socialising in pubs, that there is no socialising in pu bs, restau ra nts that there is no socialising in pubs, restaurants or house parties this weekend, what are the other implications for later in the year? thus far we have been told that there will be in person learning so far, that is meant to start this week, this monday, but it's hard to see now how that is not going to be chaos when we are getting used to the fact that u—turns are happening really quickly, new measures are coming in quickly, and it is unfair for those things to be so last—minute, we can't know what to expect at all stop you have any sympathy for the authorities because it isa sympathy for the authorities because it is a fast—changing situation, isn't it? the numbers do appear to be going up. completely, most people here really understand and support the need for strict measures, but the need for strict measures, but the government is still failing to help our well—being here. they have known since the start of the pandemic that thousands of university students will be going back to universities in september, and we arrived being told that there, being told literally nothing

and no extra guidance. i turned about my unique accommodation and expect to be given online teaching, thatis expect to be given online teaching, that is all we were giving —— university accommodation, and they are dropping these recommendations last—minute. are dropping these recommendations last-minute. so you are in your second year, you have friends, how do you feel about the first years and their predicament?” do you feel about the first years and their predicament? i feel so bad for them, being a fresher right now is really difficult, my heart goes out to them, and again support they are being givenjust isn't there out to them, and again support they are being given just isn't there at the moment. these restrictions are necessary , the moment. these restrictions are necessary, yes, but they need to be alongside strong support for stu d e nts alongside strong support for students who are lonely and isolated, and accommodations with people that they don't know, university was a bigger change to my life than the start of lockdown, you are ina life than the start of lockdown, you are in a completely new city, alone, you don't know people, and having these measures put in and finding out about them in such a chaotic way late at night, it is really scary, i really feel for them. we wish you a

very good luck, and all the best with everything that is to come, thank you very much. that is rosa, a student at edinburgh university. let's turn now to thejob support scheme announced yesterday by the chancellor that replaces the furlough programme. 0ur economics correspondent andy verityjoined me earlier to answer questions about the scheme. the entertainment industry has had a hell of a time, particularly nightclubs, venues, anyone in the event industry has had a really difficult time for the last six months, but at least i have had the furlough scheme, but that is going away, so the question is whether they can access this new scheme. and they can access this new scheme. and the answer from the government is, if you are viable, what does that mean? it is up to the employer to die, so if you are —— it is up to the employer to decide, so if you can work out whether you can make up enough income to cover more than half of your employee's normal hours, you have to pay 55%, even if they only do a third of their normal

hours, so the question is can you get half of more than half of your normal revenues? if not, this isn't going to help you, so the answer is if you can do something creative like a nightclub that turns into a bar temporarily, you can get some income in, you can access it scheme, but if it is not realistic for you to be able to make about half of your income or more, it is not going to help you actually. david asks, i ama to help you actually. david asks, i am a self—employed taxi driver, how will this work for me? you can access,if will this work for me? you can access, if or normal soul trading taxi driver, you can access the support grant, which is an extension, but not as generous as a previous one that paid up to 80% of your income, and this one will pay up your income, and this one will pay up to 20% of your income, and by income it means your average net profits. so if you can so average net profits —— if you can show average net profits from before the pandemic, you will profit, and i

figure pays up to £1875 limit, but you can also collect it if you're taxi driver and you have a self—employed payg arrangement, but there is a problem if you taking dividends. what support is therefore contractors? contractors who set them up as companies are having a desperate time with no income, cannot claim benefits, so the contractors are set up as sole traders or pa why, they pay themselves with a normal payg basis, they can enjoy the support, but if they can enjoy the support, but if they pay themselves in dividend, they pay themselves in dividend, they cannot. let's return now to news that a police officer was shot dead in a police custody centre in croydon in the early hours. joining me now from croydon is shadow police minister and mp for croydon central, sarah jones.

everybody must be in a state of some shock over this incident. it is absolutely tragic, and it is not anything we have seen before, the whole community is in shock, and the community, the family of policing croydon who work so closely together who go out and put themselves in danger every day are absolutely devastated, and i have been speaking to officers, and of course the commander and people in the community and everybody absolutely devastated. for the people who don't know what croydon is like, can you say a little bit about the area, about the community, given that this event has happened? croydon is a wonderful community, it is a huge burrow, but a very large population, we have a lot of young people in croydon, more than anywhere else in london, it is a mixed community, and a very happy one, and this is, this kind of —— this kind of event is so

heartbreaking for people that it worked so hard to make croydon a play saturdays. i have was due to be visiting the custody suite this morning to talk to people who run a scheme called divergent which is about how you managed to get young people away from crime, there is a lot of hope and positive things in our town. but today we are mourning the loss of somebody who put themselves in danger as part of their jobs, themselves in danger as part of theirjobs, that is what we asked them to do, they have lost their lives and they have a family who are mourning and their colleagues are mourning, and everybody‘s just mourning and their colleagues are mourning, and everybody‘sjust so sorry and so devastated. the details are still emerging after what happened, but as far as we know, the suspect was searched and then taken in the detention centre after which he shot the police officer. although we are waiting for fuller details, what questions arise in your mind as

to why this happened? there were two parallel investigations that will now go on. 0ne investigations that will now go on. one will be into the murder itself, that the metropolitan police will conduct and one will be into what happened and what might or might not have gone wrong. we do not know yet. that is office of police conduct that will do that investigation. there will be questions, but we just do not know enough at the moment to speculate and it would be wrong of me to do that. we just want to offer our condolences to the family and all those brave officers who do this every day and we have lost a loved one and part of our community. every day and we have lost a loved one and part of our communitym every day and we have lost a loved one and part of our community. it is worth reiterating that our correspondent was saying that there have been 73 police officers who have been 73 police officers who have lost their lives since the year 2000, so well that is a tragic number, it does however remain a

very rare event on the streets of the uk. of course it is. we will listen to everything that please tell us about making sure we are doing everything we can to make them safe as possible. of course that is ourjob to do. the police knowingly put themselves in danger, it is a dangerousjob put themselves in danger, it is a dangerous job they do, and we have asked them to do so much through this covid period, we ask them to do so much every day. we know that resources a re so much every day. we know that resources are difficult, they do it anyway, and we are so grateful to them for that and we are so sorry they have lost one of their collea g u es they have lost one of their colleagues in this tragic way. thank you very much for speaking to us. that is sarahjones mp, the shadow minister and that is sarahjones mp, the shadow ministerand mp that is sarahjones mp, the shadow minister and mp for croydon south. now the weather with tomasz schafernaker. that cold went really noticeable for many of us today, particularly on

new global tariffs are applied to eu food and drink imports, it could cost an extra three billion pounds a year. our business correspondent katy austin reports. the vast majority of the uk's imported food comes from eu countries. at the moment, that's not subject to import taxes called tariffs. that could change from january, depending on whether a brexit trade deal can be reached. talks restart on monday, but there is no agreement yet. if there is no trade deal, the uk will apply tariffs to food and drink coming in from the eu. the size of those taxes will depend on the product but, on average, would be more than 20%. let's take one example. this beef mince will attract a tariff of 48%. if all that tax was passed on to customers, a pack that now costs £3 could rise to more than £4. but that biggerjump is very unlikely because supermarkets would share some of the cost. however, the organisation representing some major supermarkets

has calculated the total cost of importing food and drink from the eu would be £3.1 billion. it says some of that would inevitably be passed on to customers in the form of price rises. don't underestimate this being a few pennies. this could be £100—plus per household, if it was all applied. and don't forget, this also hits those who have the least amount of money because they pay the biggest proportion of their household budget on food. a spokesperson for the government said it was working hard to reach a deal with the eu and the aim was a zero—tariff, zero—quota free trade agreement. negotiations are ongoing, and discussions will be continuing at the next formal round in brussels next week. the spokesperson added, avoiding tariffs should be beneficial to both sides, particularly given our shared commitment to high regulatory standards. 0ne trade expert said after the transition period, the government will have more flexibility to lower taxes on food from any country. whether it does that remains to be

seen, simply because we will be negotiating trade agreements with other countries, and the more that you reduce your tariffs on goods for everyone, the less sometimes some countries want to do trade deals with you. with just over three months left until the current trading arrangements end, retailers are warning the risk remains of shoppers having to pay more in the new year. katy austin, bbc news. pubs and restaurants in england closed at ten o'clock last night as part of the new rules to curb the spread of coronavirus. let's speak now to kingdom thenga, who runs two restaura nt—ba rs in chester. hejoins me on the line now. how did it feel to have to shut up early last night? incredibly much of a shock. i think we were expecting the announcement to come through, but just looking at the trade and looking at how we have lost that much trade between the hours of ten

o'clock until 12 o'clock, and some cases until one o'clock, has been a little devastating. you would sometimes go on until one o'clock, sometimes go on until one o'clock, so what proportion of your usual trait that represent? for us, the trade between ten o'clock and one o'clock represents pretty much 45, 50% of our trade. which all of a sudden overnight has unfortunately gone. that is a big hit you are taking. what do you think of this particular policy? i don't really see the logic in it. i think most bars and see the logic in it. i think most bars a nd restau ra nts see the logic in it. i think most bars and restaurants have actually followed the guidelines. i would say they are a lot safer than sending people out from ten o'clock going home. i think we have followed the rules in terms of tracking and tracing people, sanitising and walking, and to shut at ten o'clock does not really make sense. i appreciate we have a pandemic and we have to adapt, which we will have

two, but it does not make sense. someone else i was speaking to a little earlier was saying that what had happened was a lot of people left different bars and restaurants at ten o'clock and therefore there we re at ten o'clock and therefore there were more people on the street outside at the same time, is that what you experience? exactly. more people after ten o'clock going to be going to house parties or whatever the cases. which is not very helpful. if we can keep them in a safe environment until 12 o'clock one o'clock, whatever the case is, we are better off doing that. i am no expert, i am just to get my staff and my team, and going hang on a minute. we have gone through the first bump but we are now having a second bump that will impact even further. and curtail our regrowth. what does this early closing mean for your staff? unfortunately some difficult decisions have to be made.

we took over below board, which is a speakeasy bar downstairs, we took over below board, which is a spea keasy bar downstairs, which we took over below board, which is a speakeasy bar downstairs, which is basically trading between ten o'clock and three o'clock, and u nfortu nately o'clock and three o'clock, and unfortunately that business, we have to shut it. as such, we have got eight members of staff down there that we are going to have to have difficult conversations, or try and find some way to adapt or try and may be open earlier. at the moment, we are trying to go as fast as possible with the information we have. the clarity is unfortunately not great at the moment. thank you very much for sharing all of that with us. that is kingdom thenga who ru ns two restau ra nt with us. that is kingdom thenga who runs two restaurant bars in chester. a week of police action against drugs gangs in england and wales has led to a thousand arrests, and the seizure of drugs worth more than a million pounds. the move has been against so—called ‘county lines‘ gangs — that's when organised criminals in cities expand their market by forcing vulnerable children to sell drugs for them in smaller towns.

police said the operation was the most successful of its kind, with around 10% of the country's county lines drug networks being shut down. sian lloyd reports. police! police! they'll be sold a lie, they'll be told its just a day but that could turn into two weeks, so you've got a missing person inquiry, so we need to keep the kids safe. drug dealers don'tjust deal class a, they'll deal whatever they can make money out of. raids to seize drugs and find the gangs who deal them, part of a week of operations by forces across the country. if i had to guess, i'd probably say heroin. slightly brownish colour. they'll be nice to you for a bit, buying you nice stuff, giving you money and that, and after they willjust tell you, "0h, because you have done all of this, "i need you to do this for me." so they will tell you to go on a train to different cities and then go to this house and sell drugs and that. young people look for father figures they never had and that is what these people become, they become the people

who offer them what they want, whether that be monetary value or clothes, or even just attention. it is something which these people are fully aware of and use to their advantage. here, police are targeting criminal networks who exploit the vulnerable to traffic drugs from the west midlands into smaller cities and towns. it's known as county lines. would it surprise you if i said young people as young as... ..children as young as seven are being exploited and groomed? historically, children in care have been targeted. helen is a police officer who has seen young people end up in prison and even lose their lives after getting involved with county lines drugs gangs. this visit to a children's home is to help these young people understand the risks. they blackmail you, they use you for certain things. it's a bit scary. how is it scary? because at the end of the day,

you could end up getting stabbed or losing your life to it. the 43 police forces came together to target those who run and control county lines. here, officers from west midlands police worked with colleagues in south wales. they are checking out a train trying to identify people who traffic drugs along a suspected line operating out of the midlands into swansea. this was a week—long crackdown, building on efforts that continued during the lockdown. coronavirus didn't stop the gangs who run county lines but police say the number of arrests they've made have increased since march. county lines continue to operate. i think the criminals have evolved what they've done, maybe not travelling so far, maybe a bit more on your doorstep, probably using more local people to become involved with that, but we are aware of that and that is what we are trying to target through coordinated activity. during the week, more than £1 million worth of drugs were seized and a record number

of lines disrupted. the aim is to make a long—term impact and prevent new drugs routes springing up in their place. sian lloyd, bbc news, in the west midlands. let's return now to news that a police officer was shot dead in a police custody centre in croydon in the early hours. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw is here. there are two investigations going on, aren't there? the murder investigation and another one that you have details on. the police watchdog for england and wales has been called in by the metropolitan police to look at this. this is because a suspect has shot himself into police custody. clearly that is something that needs to be independently investigated. there will be several strands to that investigation. firstly, they are going to want to know the circumstances in which the suspect was arrested. why was he arrested? who was doing the arrest? where the

appropriate officer is doing the arrest? did they search the suspect arrest? did they search the suspect a schmuck if so, what kind of search? did they put him in handcuffs? those are going to be key questions to ascertain how it was that he produced a loaded gun in a police custody centre. they will also want to look at the background of the suspect. i have established that this is a man who was known to counterterrorism police. he had been on the counterterrorism police radar in the past. whether that is releva nt to in the past. whether that is relevant to the investigation is not yet clear. it may not be relevant, but it certainly may have form part of the background checks that should have been carried out with a risk assessment was carried out. that is more information that will have to be taken into account by the independent 0ffice be taken into account by the independent office for police conduct. in terms of the murder enquiry, that is obviously the primary focus for scotland yard at the moment. we understand that the suspect shot a police officer in the

chest after he had been removed from the police van and was being questioned as part of the covid—19 rules and regulations. he was having a covid—19 check when the events unfolded, and then he shot himself. all that will be subject to an investigation by scotland yard, as well as the enquiry by the independent 0ffice well as the enquiry by the independent office for police conduct. thank you very much. there are exactly three months to go before christmas — and retailers are telling shoppers to be prepared and to start buying gifts early. with coronavirus restrictions likely to remain in place well into next year, firms are preparing for more christmas shopping than ever to be done online. emma simpson has more.

too soon? love it or loathe it. retailers are already preparing for christmas. this year, shoppers may need to be ready a bit earlier too. it's been like christmas for six months for us. meet the boss of yodel, one of the uk's biggest parcel carriers. parcels are delivered from retailers and you'll see the different shoots around. over here, we've got shoots for kilmarnock and glasgow in scotland, and behind you for 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 about1 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 at this stage of the year than they were last year. we think that people are planning ahead. i think they're right to do so, by the way, because last—minute 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. the income of the royal family has been hit by coronavirus — with a drop in the number of visitors to buckingham palace and windsor castle. the latest palace accounts show a potential £35 million shortfall. the figures also show that harry and meghan's final royal visit to southern africa cost nearly a quarter of a million pounds. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has more. cheering the most expensive royal tour of the accounting period was the duke and duchess of sussex's trip to southern africa. along with baby archie, they visited south africa, and harry travelled on to botswana, angola and malawi. it would prove to be their last tour as working royals,

and cost almost a quarter of a million pounds. injanuary, unable to secure a last—minute scheduled flight, the prince of wales travelled by charter to 0man to offer his condolences after the death of the sultan — at a cost of more than £200,000. and sporting patronages proved expensive for both the princess royal and prince andrew. princess anne flew to rome to watch a six nations rugby match — cost £16,000 — and the duke racked up a similar amount watching the open in portrush, northern ireland. in total, the sovereign grant for the year 2019—2020 totalled £82.4 million. that's the amount of taxpayers' money used to fund the monarchy, minus things like security. the biggest overall cost was the ongoing refurbishment of buckingham palace which, over the same period, cost £33 million. the coronavirus is expected to impact future accounts, with an expected £20 million shortfall in funds to pay

for palace improvements and a £15 million drop in income, with the reduced openings of royal galleries and palaces. addressing the potential shortfall, the keeper of the privy purse, sir michael stevens, said there was no intention of asking for extra funding and they will look to manage the impact of the pandemic through their own efforts and efficiencies. the duke and duchess of sussex now live in los angeles, but as for their uk home, the palace has confirmed that they paid a lump sum to the sovereign grant to cover the £2.4 million refurbishment, as well as rent at a commercial rate for frogmore cottage in windsor. exactly how much rent they're being charged may, or may not, be revealed in next year's accounts. sarah campbell, bbc news. it has been announced that princess eugenie and her husband jack brooksbank are expecting a baby in early 2021. princess eugenie, who is tenth in line to the throne, has been married to mr brooksbank forjust under two years. the baby will be a ninth

this is bbc news. 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 head of the met police paid tribute. the police paid tribute. met is a family, policing is a family 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. hundreds of thousands of high street jobs may not survive because of the pandemic, says the boss of the clothing firm next. we will inevitably and have already reduced the number of people working in our shops. and i expect that to continue over the coming five or six years as the demand for retail goes down.

but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training new recruits in our call centres and warehousing. 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. as royal finances are hit by the pandemic — new figures show harry and meghan's last royal visit cost almost a quarter of a million pounds. and a warning from shops to stuff your christmas stockings early, as more people than ever are expected to buy online.

a police officer has been shot dead at a custody centre in croydon in south london by a man who was being detained. it is thought the suspect was searched at the custody centre, before producing a weapon and firing it at an officer. it's understood he then turned the gun on himself. the officer, who has not yet been identified, was treated at the scene, but later died in hospital of gunshot wounds. the 23—year—old suspect is in a critical condition. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. investigating the murder of one of their own colleagues, forensics officers poring over the scene at croydon custody centre in south london. it appears that a suspect was brought into the centre in a police vehicle at around 2:15am and then shot the custody sergeant in the chest before shooting himself. the officer, who was only a few weeks from retirement, died in st george's hospital in tooting.

he has not yet been named as his family overseas are still being contacted. we are all deeply shocked and very sad. 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. as well as investigating the murder, it has been investigated by the independent office for police conduct. this is a sad day for a country is 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. later on today i will be meeting with the metropolitan police commissioner to discuss the investigation that is taking

place, and of course the metropolitan police service need the time in the space to get on with the inquiry that now needs to follow. the prime minister said his deepest condolences go to the custody sergea nt‘s family, the police federation said the news was utterly devastating and heartbreaking. i know the met police services like a family and many of his colleagues across the met and the country and they will be grieving and feeling the loss of this brave police officer. this suspect of the shooting is in critical condition in the hospital after having surgery, the investigation will focus on whether the suspect had already been searched before he arrived to the custody centre and whether he was in handcuffs. but above all today, all those that are involved in policing are in deep shock as once again an officer has been killed in duty. we've had a statement from the

chairman who is said that this is devastating heartbreaking news that colleague from the metropolitan police has been shot and killed, our thoughts are with the officer's family friends and colleagues at this most terrible time. policing is a family, this most terrible time. policing is afamily, and this most terrible time. policing is a family, and we lose one of our own, it affects all of us. the dangers police officers face every day are very real and sadly as we have seen the sacrifices that they make can result in officers making the ultimate sacrifice, there will now be an investigation and therefore be wrong to say anything more at this time or to speculate. let's bring you some live pictures now from washington. there is a ceremony going on for the late supreme courtjustice, ruth bader ginsburg.

she sings

# deep river # oh, i want to cross over # in to the... that was the opera singer performing therefore invite a guest in the

capital where the late supreme court judge ruth bader ginsburg lies in—state, and there is a morning, thatis in—state, and there is a morning, that is a time in washington, a morning of events line up for that ceremony where senior politicians are in attendance. let's move on now. the boss of the clothing store next has warned that thousands of retail jobs may become ‘unviable', because the coronavirus pandemic may have caused a permanent shift to online shopping. lord wolfson welcomed the newjob support scheme announced yesterday by the chancellor, which will see the government top le unable to work full—time. but he said it was important that businesses eventually learn to live without government support. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. in better times, the swingers golf bar in central london would be thronging with people but the new realities of social distancing, limited group sizes and curbs on opening hours are taking a heavy

toll on its finances, and the boss says the latest government help doesn't go far enough. now we are reopened, we are really not getting that much in the way of support. the vat cut is going to help us a bit and it will free up a little bit of cash but the job support scheme, frankly, is coming too late. we have already had to make staff redundant because we didn't know what the future looked like and the government was giving very little clarity. so there will be bits of money that we save from it, but overall the industry needs a lot more support. the newjob support scheme comes with strict conditions. for example, staff will have to work at least one third of their normal hours in order to be eligible. it is much less generous than the furlough scheme it replaces and employers themselves will have to make a bigger contribution. even so, it is expected to cost the taxpayer £1.2 billion every month. many businesses are now facing the prospect of a very bleak winter. pubs, clubs, theatres and restaurants have already been badly hit.

airlines and travel firms say they are haemorrhaging money. and high street retailers are losing out too as customers move online. we will inevitably, and have already, reduce the number of people working in our shops and i expect that to continue over the coming five or six years as the demand for retail goes down. but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training new recruits in our call centres, in our warehousing, our distribution networks are taking on new employees. tackling the pandemic has been an expensive process for the chancellor, rishi sunak. in august, government borrowing was more than £30 billion higher than the same month last year. the government insists the furlough scheme has to end because it simply can't afford to continue paying most of the wages of millions of workers indefinitely. it is about striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs, but the longer term affordability from a wider economic perspective, and that is 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 skill support in to boost those sectors of the economy that can grow. the chancellor insists his newjob support scheme will benefit large numbers of workers, but critics believe it will only slow job losses rather than preventing them. what has done will help, but it won't completely halt the rising unemployment. the big worry here is that what we will see is a large rise in the coming months, and particularly worrying is that it could happen in january when the virus looks set to still be around. the government believes that by targeting its support towards viable jobs and businesses, it can sow the seeds of a strong recovery when the pandemic is over. but for many, the withdrawal of the furlough scheme has left them facing a struggle simply to survive. theo leggett, bbc news. joining me now is rowena howie, owner of revival retro clothes shop in central london.

good afternoon, you will have listen to the chancellor yesterday, how helpful is hisjob to the chancellor yesterday, how helpful is his job scheme for you? to the chancellor yesterday, how helpful is hisjob scheme for you?” absolutely welcome the job support scheme for me and many other people, it isa scheme for me and many other people, it is a case that it is notjust my business, but we are all interconnected in communities and neighbourhoods, so even if i don't necessarily need it in my business, my neighbours might. but my problem is really that central london is just empty, there is no one here, so iam very just empty, there is no one here, so i am very glad to have brought my stuff back from furlough, though i have had to make one redundancy already, it is a future cliff edges that we are facing that really worry me. so just that we are facing that really worry me. sojust give us that we are facing that really worry me. so just give us some idea of your business, how many people do your business, how many people do you employ? i have one full timer and three pa rt—timers you employ? i have one full timer and three part—timers and to cover hours workers. i did have to let one part—time worker go, and one of the

big questions about the job support scheme is in the detail, if it is going to apply to all workers or only full timers or people earning above a certain amount, we are still waiting for that detail to see how it is really going to help. we are told it is people who can work a third of the hours they usually work stop but some people are contracting for eight hours and some people are contracting for 38 hours, will it apply to all of them? and you are still waiting for those details, see you do not know. how do you keep going in this difficult time? small business owners are some of the most resilient people i know, but it is so hard when we have had such uncertainty and weekend plan, and i heard somebody refer earlier about rates about whether the rates will extend beyond march, that is one thing about the trade with brexit, another cliff edge, when and how people will return to central london, when will we have the foot traffic that will allow hospitality,

entertainment and retail and eve ryo ne entertainment and retail and everyone else to sustain and continue? although there may be fewer people in london at the moment, what can you do to make them feel comfortable when they come into the store? we have managed as much as we possibly can, i have brought myself back two weeks before we actually open to the public so we can plan and we can prepare and find out how to make the staff co mforta ble out how to make the staff comfortable in how the public would feel comfortable and keep adjusting to the new rules that come in. we have had customers in the store and it is not just have had customers in the store and it is notjust about have had customers in the store and it is not just about that, have had customers in the store and it is notjust about that, the women coming to my clothing store understand that they haven't been up amongst a community of other women, it is actually nicely experience, not as what we needed chops two, returning to the joy of shopping, not just returning to the joy of shopping, notjust running returning to the joy of shopping, not just running in returning to the joy of shopping, notjust running in and grabbing something, picking up and leaving, there is much more to a small business than that. very nice to talk to you, thank you very much, the owner of the revival retro

clothing shop. the headlines on bbc news... 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. 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. hundreds of thousands of high street jobs may not survive because of the pandemic — that's according to the boss of the clothing firm next. let's return to our top story, the fatal shooting of a police officer in the early hours of this morning in croydon, south london. former chief superintendent dal babu joins me now from london.

a tragic incident as many people have been saying today, what sort of questions does base throw up for the police officers particularly in the police officers particularly in the police station? i think everybody involved in this is going to be absolutely devastated, but it does thereof some questions around process procedure and safety, essentially when a person is arrested, they are searched, the questions will be asked about how substantial that search was, there will be questions about intelligence about this one individual, particularly as they suggest that he was carrying ammunition. so it is not unusual to have a cursory search on the streets and in a more substantial search in the custody area, and i'm afraid that's where the gun was produced and used and resulted in a police officer being killed. our home affairs correspondent was speaking to me a

little earlier and he suggested that he had learned that the suspect was being questioned in relation to covid—19 bureaucracy, so that will have introduced another layer of questioning a bureaucracy into the system of detaining someone stop yes, police are going from call to call, they want to keep it safe as possible, and so there will be some issues around covid compliance within a building, but essentially this will be about search, i think the key thing will be about the searching. so those are the questions that will be asked, was the search carried out on the street, was it sufficient, where was a weapon concealed, what did the police know about it? so the police will want to learn and look at how they can avoid this happening, but i think at the moment, it appears that the weapon was concealed and

produced from that concealed position within the custody area. this is a rare incident, you have been yourself senior officer in the force, you have had a long career, how is it the police officers cope with incidents like this and how well—prepared are they if they have to face a situation of potential violence? it is absolutely devastating and i think no matter how experienced you are, it impacts your. so the officers that brought the prisoner and will have a big impact on them, the colleagues of the custody sergeant who sadly lost his life, it will have an impact on them, i think the whole police station, the custody suite is a new concept, so the days where you have had police cells in individual police stations have gone. you have blocks of cells around london, it is

the same system outside london, so people will travel to those cells where there is a vacancy for a person to be detained. i think the other thing you will also have to consider is the prisoners that were within the cell block, so you may have a number of prisoners, this has now affected the crime scene, and those prisoners will have to be moved elsewhere because the crime scene will need to be kept clear while they collect all the evidence necessary and review all the cctv. are you aware of how big this particular custody centre is? are you aware of how big this particular custody centre is7m are you aware of how big this particular custody centre is? it is got a substantial number of cells, i have work to that particular custody suite, a lot of these blocks have 25 or more cells, so that is the nature of these, some have bigger, some may have as many as 50 cells, so it is much bigger process than local police stations that used to have five or six cells. you have spoken about how devastated people will be feeling about this, what of

preparations are there in a police officer's training to help cope at times of potential violence on this? police officers are encouraged to actually open up, there is a very comprehensive service to help police officers, counselling service, but ultimately, police officers will react in a different way. i have insta nces react in a different way. i have instances like this where officers have lost their lives and some of my collea g u es have lost their lives and some of my colleagues have been very resilient and others have been absolutely devastated, sometimes the impact doesn't happen until many months on. so the police service will be looking very carefully to do can, but people will have witness what is happened, they will have heard, people will have known the officer that has died, so this is going to have a massive impact on the police, not only for the officers that were working within the custody suite, but the wider police family. 0k, good to talk to you, thank you so much, that is the former chief

superintendent. from next week nearly half the population of wales will be under local lockdown restrictions after the welsh government announced new measures. cardiff and swansea will have local lockdowns imposed from sunday; in llanelli, carmarthenshire the rules will come in at 6pm tomorrow. in england, leeds is expected to be the next city to see a local lockdown. from midnight its expected a ban on households mixing will be brought in. london is now on a watch—list after a spike in covid—19 infections and hospital admissions — it means no new restrictions at the moment, but it will be monitores as an area of concern. these annoucments come as the latest r, or reproduction number, of the virus across the uk is now shown to be betweeen 1.2 and 1.5. that's up from 1.1—1.4 last week. let's talk now to our correspondent mark hutchings in cardiff.

mark, how much where these new restrictions expected?” mark, how much where these new restrictions expected? i don't think they have come as any great surprise because over the last few days we have seen increasing concern about the increasing rate of cases, and i think if you look at this like something of a lockdownjigsaw, gradually a map of wales is taking shape, particularly south wales because they were already six local authority areas that were under lockdown restrictions. and as of 6pm on sunday evening, two of the large pieces will be added to that, cardiff and swansea where there has beenin cardiff and swansea where there has been in both of those cities growing concern about the spike in cases, those restrictions will mean that as other areas, you will not be able to leave your local authority boundaries without good reason, that you have to socialise outdoors and it will be in extend to extended households —— eight will be an end to extended households. and as of

tomorrow, llanelli will be under the same restrictions, not the wider area that it is in, but according to the welsh government, most concern is focused on the town itself and 80% of the infections in that area are in llanelli, but by 6pm on sunday, a million people in wales will be under local lockdown restrictions. so that is nearly half the population of wales. what is the attitude of people to these new restrictions? i think there is an airof restrictions? i think there is an air of resignation about it, and of course across the uk, the result like depression we have seen to be heading back from where we came, which is not a complete lockdown as was the case of first time around, the shops remain open, the restau ra nts a nd the shops remain open, the restaurants and pubs remain open, albeit now with an earlier closing time. but i think there are questions being asked about how come it is only one local authority here,

when local authority they are, but gradually this is all forming together now. the welsh government has said that they are looking closely at another valleys area, so adjoining county to cardiff, and parts of north wales where the picture is much more mixed. and they are going to talk about a wales wide lockdown, parts of wales, and west wales the cases are very low, so that would not be proportionate, but if you look at the growing cases in the jigsaw if you look at the growing cases in thejigsaw forming, you're if you look at the growing cases in the jigsaw forming, you're getting the jigsaw forming, you're getting the big picture. thank you very much indeed, that is mark hutchings in the cardiff forest. —— cardiff for us. leeds is expected to be the next city in england to face new coronavirus restrictions. 0ur correspondent phil bodmer sent us the latest. leeds is home to more than three quarters of a million people with a substantial student population. it's been an area of concern for some weeks now. later today, its expected to become an area of intervention. this will bring it into line

with our other areas in yorkshire which have been under similar restrictions, bradford, calderdale, and kirklees. now, we think this is likely to be introduced from midnight tonight, and this means no mixing between different households in homes and gardens, and the advice is not to socialise with people outside of public venues. communities here are being urged to protect themselves. in the last hour or so, the council has been giving a briefing to journalists and which the chief executive, the leader of the council and the director of public health leeds told us that cases here in leeds are high and they are rising. 780,000 people are likely to fall under this restriction. there will be exemptions for those with caring responsibilities, but as i say, we are expecting more details later this afternoon from the government. london has been added to the coronavirus watch list as an area of concern. the mayor of london sadiq khan explained that there have been many

indicators that the virus is worsening in the capital, which he discussed with the prime minister on tuesday. the prime minister did seem to be aware of some of the concerns that we have, and i explained to him our concerns in relation to other indicators that show the virus is rising in our city. although the tests have gone down, so the number of positive cases may appear to be a comfort to the government, in fact, we know the cases are going up, infection rates are going up, hospital admissions are going up, calls to gps have been going up, calls to 111 have been going up, blood donors tested for the antibodies have been going up, admissions to icu has been going up, and the government has confirmed today that london is now added in the list of areas of concern on the government's watchlist, and that is because the government finally realises there's an issue. and what i'm saying to the government is they must urgently increase the amount of testing available in our city. it's been an example of the incompetence of this government that they have not managed to have a fully functioning

testing system still six months after this virus first came to public attention. at least two people have been injured in a knife attack in paris this morning. 0ur correspondent lucy williamson sent us the latest. police have courted off the area around this attack. they have told us that they have arrested two suspects, one of them, they say, was found with blood on his shirt. and the prime minister has spoken briefly about this attack saying that four people have been injured, two of them seriously, he, the prime minister, is now going into a crisis meeting with other members of the government, but the sight of police blocking off this area, very close to the former offices of charlie hebdo will bring back painful memories for people here in france. and the timing of this attack also won't go unnoticed, with the trial happening in paris at the moment of many of those accused of involvement in that attack five years ago. lucy williamson reporting there.

now, the weather with tomasz schafernaker. that cold wind really noticeable for many of us today, particularly on the north sea coast. it is a screaming gale off the north sea. and it is going to stay chilly right through the weekend. these are the afternoon gusts along the north sea from around 50 mph off the coast of yorkshire, in excess of 60 mph in some areas. on top of that, we have got heavy rain. this is a nasty area of low pressure that has parked itself in the southern portion of the north sea. for many of us, it is not the case, the winds will be much lighter across the north—west of the country, clearing skies and a touch of frost outside of town this coming night. tomorrow we still have gales in east anglia, especially around coastal areas, not quite so windy in land and many western areas should have a fine day with some sunshine. it is nippy in some areas, temperatures no higher than 11—12.

i'll be back with more later. some breaking news to bring you from birmingham which is that the deputy leader of birmingham city council has confirmed the authorities are asking for military support to help with its testing programme in the city's hotspots. a weekly briefing this afternoon, councillor bridget jones said the council had been in talks with the ministry ofjustice for extra capacity for it to drop off and collect programme. she said that personnel would help the civilian efforts to maximise the numbers of tests able to be done, and this was not a question of enforcement in any sense. the programme is aimed at areas with high rates of infection. that news just in from our newsroom in birmingham. the city council is asking for military support to help with its testing programme in those areas of the city particularly hit by coronavirus. a week of police action against drugs gangs in england and wales has led to a thousand

arrests, and the seizure of drugs worth more than a million pounds. the move has been against so—called ‘county lines‘ gangs — that‘s when organised criminals in cities expand their market by forcing vulnerable children to sell drugs for them in smaller towns. police said the operation was the most successful of its kind, with around 10% of the country‘s county lines drug networks being shut down. sian lloyd reports. police! police! they‘ll be sold a lie, they‘ll be told it‘s just a day but that could turn into two weeks, so you‘ve got a missing person inquiry, so we need to keep the kids safe. drug dealers don‘tjust deal class a, they‘ll deal whatever they can make money out of. raids to seize drugs and find the gangs who deal them, part of a week of operations by forces across the country. if i had to guess, i‘d probably say heroin. slightly brownish colour. they'll be nice to you for a bit, buying you nice stuff, giving you money and that, and after they willjust tell you, "0h, because you have done

all of this, "i need you to do this for me." so they will tell you to go on a train to different cities and then go to this house and sell drugs and that. young people look for father figures they never had and that is what these people become, they become the people who offer them what they want, whether that be monetary value or clothes, or even just attention. it is something which these people are fully aware of and use to their advantage. here, police are targeting criminal networks who exploit the vulnerable to traffic drugs from the west midlands into smaller cities and towns. it‘s known as county lines. would it surprise you if i said young people as young as... ..children as young as seven are being exploited and groomed? historically, children in care have been targeted. helen is a police officer who has seen young people end up in prison and even lose their lives after getting involved with county lines drugs gangs. this visit to a children‘s home

is to help these young people understand the risks. they blackmail you, they use you for certain things. it‘s a bit scary. how is it scary? because at the end of the day, you could end up getting stabbed or losing your life to it. the 43 police forces came together to target those who run and control county lines. here, officers from west midlands police worked with colleagues in south wales. they are checking out a train trying to identify people who traffic drugs along a suspected line operating out of the midlands into swansea. this was a week—long crackdown, building on efforts that continued during the lockdown. coronavirus didn‘t stop the gangs who run county lines but police say the number of arrests they‘ve made have increased since march. county lines continue to operate. i think the criminals have evolved what they‘ve done, maybe not travelling so far, maybe a bit more on your doorstep,

probably using more local people to become involved with that, but we are aware of that and that is what we are trying to target through coordinated activity. during the week, more than £1 million worth of drugs were seized and a record number of lines disrupted. the aim is to make a long—term impact and prevent new drugs routes springing up in their place. sian lloyd, bbc news, in the west midlands. emily van der lely is the national lead on county lines for independent crime—fighting charity crimestoppers. shejoins me now. good afternoon, emily. we havejust heard some graphic accounts of vulnerable young people being used by drugs gangs, what would you say are the first signs of a young person or a child being exploited in this way? i think it is usually that they are encouraged to participate

in drugs, so trying out drugs, as well as receiving gifts. new trainers are being taken out for something to eat, that may be as a treat. a lot of them have been groomed online. a lot of the drugs are being sold online so i would also encourage family to look at settings on the internet. we heard there that it is often young people, children in care, who are targeted. yes. historically it has been vulnerable young people and those in ca re vulnerable young people and those in care or those that are going through services, difficulties in the education system. however, it ended move to all young people. with the covid—19 situation, we have noticed that vulnerable people in care are much easier to be groomed. so you have seen a rise in this in the last

six months? yes, we have seen an increase in reports relating directly to county lines and the mention of young people being groomed. people as young as six. six yea rs groomed. people as young as six. six years old? groomed. people as young as six. six years old ? ! groomed. people as young as six. six years old? ! . with to recognise the information we receive is anonymized. we then sanitise and wait to hear back what the information has led to. with regard to that information, i do not know if it is correct because obviously it is passed on. however, we did get reports that relate to young people of all ages. it is very concerning. if that is correct, it is very disturbing indeed. what should people in a neighbourhood look out for? there's a few things. increase in cookery, where a place is taken over. i would encourage people to help vulnerable individuals who

may... 0bviously help vulnerable individuals who may... obviously this does not happen on every street but it is a concern nationally. so i would encourage neighbours to look out for one another and to report it to the anonymous crime—fighting team crimestoppers. this can be a person who is going into an adult‘s home or a child‘s home, or what? who is going into an adult‘s home or a child's home, or what? usually it would be an adult premise is, maybe social care. it could be that person has got an interest... they are being offered some drug and it can being offered some drug and it can be from that the person is into the property and takes it over. they are taking over that person‘s property. we have been hearing about this issue of county lines for quite some time now. do you think that the problem has got worse during the covid—19 crisis or has itjust changed character? i think people

that are vulnerable have had to be much cleverer in a way that they distribute their drugs. there‘s been a restriction on the drugs they can get into the country. however, we did seea get into the country. however, we did see a spike on the reporting of cou nty did see a spike on the reporting of county lines after lockdown. we do recognise that it was happening. we have reports of it being delivered through food delivery services and also the increased use of online deliveries. whatsapp and various other apps that are available to try and communicate with those who were wanting the drugs. thank you very much indeed, emily. supermarkets have warned that shoppers could face larger food bills next year, if the government fails to agree a post brexit trade deal with the european union. the british retail consortium has calculated that if the uk‘s new global tariffs are applied to eu food and drink imports, it could cost an extra three billion pounds a year.

our business correspondent katy austin reports. the vast majority of the uk‘s imported food comes from eu countries. at the moment, that‘s not subject to import taxes called tariffs. that could change from january, depending on whether a brexit trade deal can be reached. talks restart on monday, but there is no agreement yet. if there is no trade deal, the uk will apply tariffs to food and drink coming in from the eu. the size of those taxes will depend on the product but, on average, would be more than 20%. let‘s take one example. this beef mince will attract a tariff of 48%. if all that tax was passed on to customers, a pack that now costs £3 could rise to more than £4. but that biggerjump is very unlikely because supermarkets would share some of the cost. however, the organisation representing some major supermarkets has calculated the total cost of importing food and drink from the eu would be £3.1 billion.

it says some of that would inevitably be passed on to customers in the form of price rises. don‘t underestimate this being a few pennies. this could be £100—plus per household, if it was all applied. and don‘t forget, this also hits those who have the least amount of money because they pay the biggest proportion of their household budget on food. a spokesperson for the government said it was working hard to reach a deal with the eu and the aim was a zero—tariff, zero—quota free trade agreement. negotiations are ongoing, and discussions will be continuing at the next formal round in brussels next week. the spokesperson added, avoiding tariffs should be beneficial to both sides, particularly given our shared commitment to high regulatory standards. 0ne trade expert said after the transition period, the government will have more flexibility to lower taxes on food from any country. whether it does that remains to be seen, simply because we will be negotiating trade agreements with other countries, and the more that you reduce your tariffs on goods for everyone,

the less sometimes some countries want to do trade deals with you. with just over three months left until the current trading arrangements end, retailers are warning the risk remains of shoppers having to pay more in the new year. katy austin, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... 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. 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. hundreds of thousands of high street jobs may not survive because of the pandemic — that‘s according to the boss of the clothing firm next. pubs in england closed at ten o‘clock last night as part of the new rules to curb

the spread of coronavirus. 0ur reporter tim muffett was out in brighton to see what drinkers there thought of the change. maggie mae‘s bar in brighton, where a packed dance floor and rows of punters at the bar were once a common sight, but now a distant memory. a bit deflated, frustrated. we are kind of having to learn again. we kind of... we found a new way of operating and we kind of mastered it and now we are having to put in more restrictions which means people have to think about coming out differently now. ten to one is our main three hours on a friday and saturday so, that‘s six hours of trade which is really going to hurt. this wasn‘t the university experience these first year students expected. it'sjust a shame that it's happened at this time in our lives. the summer was getting back to normal, we were all being encouraged to go out so i think it gave people a lot of hope that, 0k, we would get a good uni experience, but that has obviously completely

changed and got out of the window. taxi driver andrew peters has had a brutal summer. now his industry faces even more challenges. the drivers are in absolute despair at the moment. it‘s going to have a massive impact. it‘s been hard anyway at the weekends and now for suddenly people now to have to suddenly put down their pints at quarter to ten and go home, it means there is going to be no nightlife at all in that city later on for the night drivers. a lot of drivers are used to working until two or three o‘clock in the morning, getting people home, and that business is not going to be there at all now, it‘s just finished. at the lion and lobster, things had been picking up. now this. it's tough, it's tough, because we put a lot of effort to open. we started doing pretty well, still closing at 12. but we're doing well. now, again, we start again from zero and we need to wait to see how the customers will react. i think everyone isjust going to start earlier and then get home earlier and have,

like, after parties earlier. yeah. last orders! so it has just gone ten o‘clock, the new enforced closing time for pubs, bars and restaurants and for most people that means it‘s time to go home. ten o‘clock has just happened, what do you make of it? it‘s pretty brutal, to be honest. itjust makes us drink less and drink earlier. has it ruined your evening being kicked out at ten? no, i'm still having a lovely time! for some, the pavement is the new pub. yeah, so, we could do take away. yeah, no, we are staying here! for the foreseeable future, nights out will be finishing earlier. covid continues to upend our way of life. tim muffett, bbc news, brighton. 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 life—saving 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. i am joined from tanzania by christophe cox who is the chief executive of the charity apop0, which trained magawa to detect landmines. good afternoon to you. just tell me first of what is apop0. good afternoon to you. just tell me first of what is apopo. apopo is a charity based in tanzania and we trained rats, since the year 1997. we came to tanzania in 2000 to detect landmines. it is fascinating because rats are usually a reviled creature but they have this very specific purpose. indeed. our rats are african giant pouch rats so they are african giant pouch rats so they

are kind of cuddly animals. they live eight years. the are even kept as pets in the uk and many european countries. i see. and how do you go about training a rat to do this sort of work? we use positive reinforcement, we bring them indoors, and then we socialise them that they get used to different people and smells and sounds. after that, we train them to also click, banana. we can learn then to do something to get that click so we teach them to go to a target and after that there will be two targets, one with the scent of explosives and one with a random scent. gradually, they learn that they only get the banana after identifying explosives. and then it becomes more difficult until they graduate in our training minefield here. that is when we export them to

go and do the job here. that is when we export them to go and do thejob in here. that is when we export them to go and do the job in the minefields. that is just fascinating. they do this invaluable work. run us through magawa‘s achievements. this invaluable work. run us through magawa's achievements. magawa has been one of our high achievers. he cleared 141,000 square metres, he found that 39 landmines, 38 unexploded ordinances. if you think about it, it is 60 bombs, 60 lives he could have saved. he is working forfour he could have saved. he is working for four years. every he could have saved. he is working forfour years. every morning he goes with our team, very early morning with our teams to cambodia to the minefields. in cambodia so many people are still suffering from the terror of landmines, they cannot declare lands, they are afraid for their kids to go to school and all of this. i think it is a real achievement. it must be a great

boost for your charity? it is a great honour for us to receive the pdsa gold award. it is a great honourfor pdsa gold award. it is a great honour for our partners and for the tea m honour for our partners and for the team is working day and night to get the best out of our rats. and also for the people of cambodia that they have brought these landmines to global attention. very good to talk to you. thank you very much. christophe cox from the charity apopo. now the weather with tomasz schafernaker. well, today feels like we are well into autumn, almost feels like winter is just around the corner with that cold, northerly wind, if we could at least lose that northerly wind and a little bit of sunshine, it shouldn‘t feel too bad. i think, overall, the weekend is going to stay quite chilly, the wind that is coming in from the north is here to stay, at least another couple of days. and there is that nasty, low pressure there in the southern north sea, spiralling those winds out of control on the north sea coast, in fact, they‘re gusting

in excess of 60 miles an hour in some places, windy inland with an excess of 40, so temperatures with only around 12—13 degrees, it is a case of thick coats today for a number of us. we haven‘t got the hailstorm that we had yesterday, but there are a few showers here and there, but notice that actually the weather is pretty clear across many parts of the country for this afternoon and this evening. so it is still very windy through the night, along that north sea coast, especially off the coast of east anglia, so temperatures, when it is windy, even this time of the year and through the winter, don‘t tend to fall that low. 8 degrees there in norwich, a touch of frost ashore again in rural parts of scotland. tomorrow, that nagging northerly wind continues along the yorkshire coast, lincolnshire coast, east anglia there will be some showers around, but slowly, slowly, slowly that low pressure is finally blowing itself out. it‘ll be better in the west over the weekend. the reason why it is better in the west over the weekend

is because the jet stream a sending weather fronts in this direction, another low pulling away, we are sort of in between weather systems, so this sort of western slither of the uk enjoys the best of any sunshine. still a chance for thicker clouds, some spots of rain, and a breeze in the east, down the south east during the course of sunday. so i think you are a winner if you are in plymouth, cardiff, liverpool, belfast, glasgow, the best of the weekend weather, both on saturday and sunday. early next week, we are going to lose that current of cold air from the north atlantic, it will be replaced by milder, i want to emphasise —er, westerlies, temperatures will actually bump up to possibly the high teens across some parts of the country, but then that means later on in the week, with the milder atlantic air comes more unsettled windier and winter weather.

you are watching bbc news. our top story today is the shooting of a police officer at a police detention centre in croydon. our top story today is the shooting of a police officer at a police detention centre in croydon. 0ur reporter greg mackenzie is at the scene of the shooting. we will observe a minutes silence along with the officers of. remind us how this shooting occurred. the shooting occurred at 2:15am after a suspect was arrested, initially on suspicion of possession of ammunition, firearms and ammunition. he was brought here to the police detention centre and ended up shooting the custody sergeant that

was picking him in. he then turned the gun on himself. despite the effo rts the gun on himself. despite the efforts of the paramedics, the custody sergeant could not be saved and died a short time later at st george‘s hospital, which is only a few miles from here. as for the 23—year—old suspect, he is currently ina 23—year—old suspect, he is currently in a critical condition in hospital. when you speak to locals here, many arriving, leaving flowers outside the custody centre. some crying, saying that he was one of the nice guys, saying that he was one of the nice guys, the custody sergeant was nice, known here locally. we understand he was actually going to retire in a matter of weeks. people are just horrified, his colleagues you‘re arriving at work, just preparing to my right to observe a minute‘s silence at 4pm. tributes have been led up and down the country by the prime minister, the home secretary and also the london mayor, in

addition to many community leaders who have come out in support of the police, saying they have one of the ha rd est police, saying they have one of the hardest jobs police, saying they have one of the hardestjobs in terms of protecting us, but yet again we are now reporting on an officer who has been killed in the line of duty. greg, whenever these incidents occur and there is a fatality of an officer while on duty, it does send huge shock waves through the police family, notjust shock waves through the police family, not just at the shock waves through the police family, notjust at the met but across the country. it does indeed, because these incidents are very rare. it is not everyday you hear about this and to have an officer shot inside a police custody centre, it is unheard of. questions are already being raised and tough questions to answer, really, as to how this even happened. the independent 0ffice how this even happened. the independent office for police conduct are investigating and a minute‘s silence is about to take place about now.

members of the metropolitan police force and members of the public in croydon, at the scotland yard as well taking part in a minute silence to show their respects to the police officer who has been shot dead at a custody centre in croydon in south london by a man who is being detained. greg mackenzie is at the scene of the shooting. greg you are saying a moment ago that there would be several different strands of inquiry to find out exactly what happened in the fatality. it is been investigating and they have been since it‘s morning, many of those officers you will have just seen there will have known this custody sergeant, and many of them, traumatic and upsetting, what we do know is that specials officers are actually helping and supporting those that witnessed the shooting right here at

the custody centre at 2:15am, two other officers witness it. not only are officers supporting the family of this custody sergeant, but also those officers that were here that witnessed it, so they are still here standing in line just witnessed it, so they are still here standing in linejust to my right. it is quite hard to comprehend that you have seen them going into work today and just kind of disbelief really, they have not spoke to me, but it says it on their face, they arejust in shock but it says it on their face, they are just in shock that one of their beloved colleagues has been murdered in sucha beloved colleagues has been murdered in such a way. for the moment, thank you very much in croydon saw the prime minister boris johnson you very much in croydon saw the prime minister borisjohnson earlier said we have a huge debt to those who risk their lives to keep us safe, my deepest condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues of the police officer who was killed

in croydon. he was shot dead at a custody centre in croydon in south london by a man who is being detained. it is thought the suspect was searched at the custody centre, before producing a weapon and firing it at an officer. it‘s understood he then turned the gun on himself. the officer, who has not yet been identified, was treated at the scene, but later died in hospital of gunshot wounds. the 23—year—old suspect is in a critical condition. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. investigating the murder of one of their own colleagues, forensics officers pouring over the scene at croydon custody centre in south london. it appears that a suspect was brought into the centre in a police vehicle at around 2:15am, and then shot the custody sergeant in the chest before shooting himself. the officer, who was only a few weeks from retirement, died in saint george‘s hospital in tooting. he has not yet been named as his family overseas is still being contacted.

we are all deeply shocked and very sad. 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. as well as investigating the murder, the metropolitan police has referred the case to the independent 0ffice for police conduct. there is deep concern that a suspect under arrest in a police vehicle was able to bring a loaded gun into a police station. 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. later on today, i will be meeting with the metropolitan police commissioner to discuss the investigation that is currently taking place, and of course, the metropolitan police service now need the time and the space to get on with the inquiry that now needs to follow. the prime minister said his deepest condolences go

to the custody sergeant‘s family. the police federation said the news was utterly devastating and heartbreaking. i know the met police service is like a family, and many of his colleagues, notjust in croydon, but across the met and indeed across the country, will be grieving and feeling the loss of this brave police officer. the suspect in the shooting is in a critical condition in hospital after having surgery. the investigation will focus on whether the suspect had already been searched before he arrived at the custody centre and whether he was in handcuffs. but above all today, all those involved in policing are in deep shock, as once again, an officer has been killed in duty. daniel sanford, bbc news, croydon. the boss of the clothing store next has warned that thousands of retail jobs may become ‘unviable‘, because the coronavirus pandemic may have caused a permanent shift to online shopping. lord wolfson welcomed the newjob support scheme announced

yesterday by the chancellor, which will see the government top le unable to work full—time. but he said it was important that businesses eventually learn to live without government support. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. in better times, the swingers golf bar in central london would be thronging with people, but the new realities of social distancing, limited group sizes and curbs on opening hours are taking a heavy toll on its finances, and the boss says the latest government help doesn‘t go far enough. now we are reopened, we are really not getting that much in the way of support. the vat cut is going to help us a bit and it will free up a little bit of cash, but the job support scheme, frankly, is coming too late. we have already had to make staff redundant because we didn‘t know what the future looked like and the government was giving very little clarity. so there will be bits of money that we save from it but overall the industry needs a lot more support. the newjob support scheme comes with strict conditions. for example, staff will have to work

at least one third of their normal hours in order to be eligible. it is much less generous than the furlough scheme it replaces and employers themselves will have to make a bigger contribution. even so, it is expected to cost the taxpayer £1.2 billion every month. many businesses are now facing the prospect of a very bleak winter. pubs, clubs, theatres and restaurants have already been badly hit. airlines and travel firms say they are haemorrhaging money. and high street retailers are losing out too as customers move online. we will inevitably, and have already, reduce the number of people working in our shops and i expect that to continue over the coming five or six years as the demand for retail goes down. but we are taking on people in our call centre, we are training new recruits in our call centres, in our warehousing, our distribution networks are taking on new employees. tackling the pandemic has been an expensive process for the chancellor, rishi sunak. in august, government borrowing was more than £30 billion higher

than the same month last year. the government insists the furlough scheme has to end because it simply can‘t afford to continue paying most of the wages of millions of workers indefinitely. it is about striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs but the longer term affordability from a wider economic perspective and that is 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 skill support in to boost those sectors of the economy that can grow. the chancellor insists his newjob support scheme will benefit large numbers of workers, but critics believe it will only slow job losses rather than preventing them. what he has done will help but it won‘t completely halt the rising unemployment. the big worry here is that what we will see is a large rise in the coming months, and particularly worrying is that it could happen in january when the virus looks set

to still be around. the government believes that by targeting its support towards viable jobs and businesses, it can sow the seeds of a strong recovery when the pandemic is over. but for many, the withdrawal of the furlough scheme has left them facing a struggle simply to survive. theo leggett, bbc news. we can speak now to christopher taylor, manager at gran t‘s coffee house in altrincham in greater manchester. thank you forjoining us. tell us a little bit about your business and how you have fared during the pandemic. at the beginning of the year, the business was seeming really strong, it was a good start to the year. 0bviously when the first statement was made back in march, we saw a massive drop. monday that the state was made by boris johnson, obviously, it was a strong statement to avoid mainly

hospitality sectors in the industry and we saw massive drop in sales, but we didn‘t close down. we have obviously had some support and help throughout the last six months of this covid period, and that has been a great support to be able to re—boost business and get us back open again, that it doesn‘t really put us in a stronger position to continue support from our side, especially on an independent level. i understand that he, that they are now offering a new scheme to support businesses and trying key people in jobs, but unfortunately, businesses are no longer in a position where they have the financial backing, the last six months of taking and any intentional growth, to support people, to keep them injobs. and we know as businesses that if this is how it is going to be for the next six months, we are not going to need back into the business, so even with

a small percentage of support from the government, it is not strong enough for us to be keeping hold of those team members that are predominantly sat at home. apart from being a coffee house, private higher events, very important to your business, and as we know, people can‘t gather, that is fallen by the wayside. how many staff did you have, how many have you now got? absolutely, so we originally had 11 tea m absolutely, so we originally had 11 team members, currently we have had to sadly make that cut down to five tea m to sadly make that cut down to five team members, and the decision for this probably dominant leak came from —— predominantly came from being a coffee shop during the daytime, but we are very versatile business ended catered events at late—night and through the evening, so we made use of our venue in different ways. and that was a really strong income for us, now that has had to stop because,

especially moving forward, we are not going to be able to do anything past ten o‘clock at night and we cannot book larger groups of people into the business, so we know that that sector of our business is no longer going to be there. so what is going to be a very tough and scary winter period and christmas period, but luckily we have still managed to retain a percentage of the coffee shop. just to look at the numbers of people that you have had to make redundant, this new job people that you have had to make redundant, this newjob support scheme will be able to support employees working at least a third of their normal hours, being paid for that as normal, and then the government and the employer would jointly increase her wages to cover two thirds of their loss of pay. why doesn‘t that help you? it doesn‘t really make logical sense from the way i see it, they are willing to cover a third and we can get them to come ina cover a third and we can get them to come in a working third, and hopefully we will be able to offer them the hours for third, but then

we have to talk them up for the other two thirds, but in a logical term, they are only working a third of the hours, that then means staff member has become rather largely expensive per ourfor us member has become rather largely expensive per our for us to do that. —— per hour, and if i‘m not making use of them, they are building up holiday accrue which i may not be able to afford to pay that team member, without any sort of guarantee or a guidance plan or anything like that as to where this is going to go in the future, there is going to go in the future, there is nothing to say that i am going to need them past march. if there is no hope of returning to some form of normality, it is a lost cause, really. so we know that small businesses are some of the most innovative companies that you will ever find, what innovative companies that you will everfind, what do innovative companies that you will ever find, what do you think you will have to do next to keep going? i think everybody is the same, we have all taken massive precaution

right now and everybody is clinging onto the purse strings, being sensible with every penny, we have versatility, that is key right now. you have to cater for every possible avenue that we can, and like i say, we are used to adapting for things such as events, but that has now been taken away. i think we just have to keep very open—minded, stay positive and stay strong, and just keep an eye out for possible future opportunities to ensure survival stop christopher taylor from gran t‘s coffee house, thank you for joining us. so we have the latest figure for the number of new cases of covid—19, reported 6874 new cases today, that compares with 6634 cases on thursday, so an increase there of

240. and then when it comes to deaths as a result of covid—19, the uk, excluding scotland, has reported 34 new deaths after a positive covid—19 test, that compares with 40 yesterday, just to point out that those figures today do not include scotland, there has been a technical issue with providing that number. so it is the uk excluding scotland, but 34 new deaths. the headlines on bbc news... 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. 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 hundreds of thousands of high street jobs may not survive

because of the pandemic — that‘s according to the boss of the clothing firm next. different households in leeds, stockport, wigan and blackpool will be banned from meeting in private homes or gardens in a bid to slow rising covid—19 rates, the government has confirmed. the measure will begin at midnight and would bring leeds in line with rules in bradford, kirklees and calderdale. leeds city council said there had been a "steep rise" in infections, with the rate at 98.5 per 100,000 people. some exemptions are expected, including for those with caring responsibilities. the welsh government has announced new coronavirus restrictions to be introduced in cardiff, swansea and llanelli. 0ur correspondent hywel griffith told us the latest from cardiff. so these restrictions will come into force over the weekend. there are already six council areas in wales under

local lockdown measures. this adds three more, cardiff, the capital, and swansea, the second largest city in wales, will both commence the local lockdown measures as of 6pm on sunday, but before that, the west wales town of llanelli will also come under measures at 6pm tomorrow. what does it mean for people living there? they can no longer travel in or out of the council area without good reason, like going to work or travelling for education. vitally, people shouldn‘t go into anyone else‘s house, so extended households, or bubbles, come to an end in those areas at those times. already, closing time has been fast forwarded to ten o‘clock here in wales and across the uk, so the other restrictions that we saw in the other areas aren‘t so relevant, but it will now mean once those measures are in place, that almost half the welsh population, 1.5 million people, will be under local lockdown measures. they were announced earlier on by the welsh government‘s health minister, vaughan gething, this is what he had to say. the local restrictions

mean that when enforced, people living in llanelli, cardiff and swansea 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, so extended households, sometimes called bubbles, will be suspended for the time being. there was the question of why the rest of wales isn‘t being put under similar measures if we are seeing this virus spread. the answer was that at the moment, local intelligence suggest in north and west wales, the rates are far, far lower, however, this will be a warning to people there that rates are rising across the country. let‘s go to central london, and hear the mayor of london, sadiq khan, answering questions from the media at the headquarters of the metropolitan police following the shooting of the police officer in croydon in the early hours of this

morning. it is a source of future gotan morning. it is a source of future got an sorrow and it is heartbreaking that this person arrested has then going onto kayla police officer, it is really important that we the police service —— to killa important that we the police service —— to kill a police officer, and we allow the police service to conduct their investigation, but i want to reassure the police and londoners that in the meantime, we are going to make sure we give the police all of the support, resources, kit, they need to make sure they are safe and that they do theirjob in keeping us safe as well. this happened away from the front line, this could be my relative, that is a big concern. 0ne my relative, that is a big concern. one of the things that i‘ve done since i have been there is to try and understand what police officer families go through. if you are a spouse, partner, child, parent, aunt, niece of a police officer, you know the stress and anxiety used to offer every day when your loved one is at work. —— you suffer every day,

of course i understand the concern that family members and police officers and staff and members of the public will have, and that is why it is really important that the police service are given the tools that they need to keep themselves safe. police officers that work across are fully aware that even custody suites can be dangerous, thatis custody suites can be dangerous, that is why we give them the tools to support what they need and they make sure it is really important that we can constantly review the support police officers have and the staff have also work in custody suites. it is really important we don‘t wait for the investigation to conclude, but i can reassure viewers, family members, police officers that the commissioner and her team, with the home secretary and with others are doing what they can to make sure police work to keep themselves safe and unsafe. what i can confirm is that police are

reviewing the safety of custody suites, there could be changes very soon to make sure that they are saved as they can be. thank you. —— as safe as they can be. sadiq khan answering questions about the changes that might be taking place in custody suites as a result of the shooting of the police officer last night. london has been added to the coronavirus watch list as an area of concern. the mayor has criticised the lack of testing available in the capital, which he said had been diverted to other parts of the country. the growth rate is 4—9%. the capital is ata the growth rate is 4—9%. the capital is at a very worrying tipping point. 0ur correspondent helena wilkinson is in central london. it is probably not surprising for a

lot of people, the capital, we have seen these measures taking place in other parts of the country, now it could be the capital‘s turn. other parts of the country, now it could be the capital's turn. yes, anything a lot of people have been thinking when it is going to be london next. we are in the heart of the west end, leicester square, corset is packed full of bars, restau ra nts, corset is packed full of bars, restaurants, cinema just behind us, it is fairly busy here, but don‘t forget this is the first friday night when the ten o‘clock curfew for these pubs, restaurants and other venues have to close here. but of course, it is going to be of some concern. we are waiting for public health england to officially confirm that london has been put on the watchlist, we have heard from the mayor of london, sadiq khan, over the past week, his concerns about testing in the capital and his concerns about the rising rate of cases. and he said earlier on, that

london is at a very worrying tipping point, there has been a sharp rise in calls to 111, he also said the testing capacity needs to be increase in the capital. what does this mean for london, being on the watchlist, when an area goes on the watchlist, when an area goes on the watchlist, they can come under three different areas. we understand that london will be at the lowest, which is the area of concern, and what that will probably mean is that there will be extra impact, extra capacity in terms of testing people for the virus. it very simply, putting areas of london that are seeing the most cases at the top of the queue. but we are awaiting that official confirmation from public health england that london is going to be on that watchlist, the national watchlist, but no localised lockdowns at this stage in london. helena, thank you very much, helena

wilkinson in central london. everyone competing against a windless afternoon, or apologies for that. the office for national statistics says the estimated number of cases of coronavirus across england has jumped 60 percent in one week. 0ur head of statistics robert cuffe has been looking at the numbers and has more details on the overall picture across england. a hundred thousand people, they estimate, currently have coronavirus in homes in england, and about just under 10,000 new infections every day. both of those numbers are up quite a bit on the last week, nearly doubled for the total number of people with us, up by about 60% for the incidents. and if you look more over the longer term, those figures are doubling, not quite every week, but not far off. we can‘t tell you exactly whether it is every eight days or every nine days that it is doubling, this is a survey, it is only capturing a subset of the population. and it goes in, you know, it swabs people at random, so we can‘t get that precise, but what we can say is that this is picking up many of the infections that the testing system is missing, about three times as many.

and also, we can start to get a picture across the uk. it is very different if you go to the north west or yorkshire or the humber where the figures are highest and rising compared to the south east or the south west. and also that long picture we have been hearing about age, young people are more likely to have coronavirus at the moment, but the gap between the very oldest and the very youngest does look like it is starting to narrow. so slight differences across the country, but everywhere it is on the up. at least two people have been injured in a knife attack in paris this morning. 0ur correspondent lucy williamson sent us the latest. police have quartered off the area around this attack. they have told us that they have arrested two suspects, one of them, they say, was found with blood on his shirt. and the prime minister has spoken briefly about this attack saying that four people have been injured, two of them seriously, he, the prime minister, is now going into a crisis meeting with other members of the

government, but the sight of police blocking off this area, very close to the former offices of charlie hebdo will bring back painful memories for people here in france. and the timing of this attack also won‘t go unnoticed, with the trial happening in paris at the moment of many of those accused of involvement in that attack five years ago. 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 life—saving 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. he‘s very nonchalant about it also. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with

tomasz schafernaker. that cold wind really noticeable for many of us today, particularly on the north sea coast. it is a screaming gale off the north sea. and it is going to stay chilly right through the weekend. might be some sunshine around, but it will be nippy. these are the afternoon gusts along the north sea from around 50 mph off the coast of yorkshire, in excess of 60 mph in some areas. on top of that, we have got heavy rain. this is a nasty area of low pressure that has parked itself in the southern portion of the north sea. for many of us, it is not the case, the winds will be much lighter across the north—west of the country, clearing skies and a touch of frost outside of town this coming night. tomorrow we still have gales in east anglia, especially around coastal areas, not quite so windy in land and many western areas should have a fine day with some sunshine. it is nippy in some areas, temperatures no higher than 11—12 degrees.

hello, this is bbc news. 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. 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. hundreds of thousands of high street jobs may not survive because of the pandemic — that‘s according to the boss of the clothing firm next. 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. the government has confirmed that different households in leeds will be banned from meeting in private homes or gardens in a bid to slow rising covid—19 rates. as royal finances are hit by the pandemic,

new figures show harry and meghan‘s last royal visit cost almost a quarter of a million pounds. a week of police action against drugs gangs in england and wales has led to a thousand arrests, and the seizure of drugs worth more than a million pounds. the move has been against so—called ‘county lines‘ gangs — that‘s when organised criminals in cities expand their market by forcing vulnerable children to sell drugs for them in smaller towns. police said the operation was the most successful of its kind, with around 10% of the country‘s county lines drug networks being shut down. sian lloyd reports. police! police! they‘ll be sold a lie, they‘ll be told it‘s just a day but that could turn into two weeks, so you‘ve got a missing person inquiry, so we need to keep the kids safe. drug dealers don‘tjust deal class a, they‘ll deal whatever they can make money out of. raids to seize drugs and find

the gangs who deal them, part of a week of operations by forces across the country. if i had to guess, i‘d probably say heroin. slightly brownish colour. they'll be nice to you for a bit, buying you nice stuff, giving you money and that, and after they willjust tell you, "0h, because you have done all of this, "i need you to do this for me." so they will tell you to go on a train to different cities and then go to this house and sell drugs and that. young people look for father figures they never had and that is what these people become, they become the people who offer them what they want, whether that be monetary value or clothes, or even just attention. it is something which these people are fully aware of and use to their advantage. here, police are targeting criminal networks who exploit the vulnerable to traffic drugs from the west midlands into smaller cities and towns. it‘s known as county lines. would it surprise you if i said young people as young as... ..children as young as seven

are being exploited and groomed? historically, children in care have been targeted. helen is a police officer who has seen young people end up in prison and even lose their lives after getting involved with county lines drugs gangs. this visit to a children‘s home is to help these young people understand the risks. they blackmail you, they use you for certain things. it‘s a bit scary. how is it scary? because at the end of the day, you could end up getting stabbed or losing your life to it. the 43 police forces came together to target those who run and control county lines. here, officers from west midlands police worked with colleagues in south wales. they are checking out a train trying to identify people who traffic drugs along a suspected line operating out of the midlands into swansea. this was a week—long crackdown, building on efforts that continued

during the lockdown. coronavirus didn‘t stop the gangs who run county lines but police say the number of arrests they‘ve made have increased since march. county lines continue to operate. i think the criminals have evolved what they‘ve done, maybe not travelling so far, maybe a bit more on your doorstep, probably using more local people to become involved with that, but we are aware of that and that is what we are trying to target through coordinated activity. during the week, more than £1 million worth of drugs were seized and a record number of lines disrupted. the aim is to make a long—term impact and prevent new drugs routes springing up in their place. sian lloyd, bbc news, in the west midlands. ceremonies have been taking place in washington to honour the us supreme courtjustice ruth bader ginsburg. she is the first american woman to lie in state in the capitol. the equal rights champion is being honoured during a private ceremony attended by family members and some officials as well as invited guests, including the democratic

presidential nominee, joe biden. thousands of people have already paid tribute to her outside the supreme court building. the us house of representatives speaker nancy pelosi opened the ceremony with a brief address. it is with profound sorrow and deep sympathy to the ginsberg family that i have the high honour to welcome justice ruth bader ginsburg to lie in state in the capital of the united states. she does so on a catafalque built for abraham lincoln. may she rest in peace. speaking at the memorial service, rabbi lauren holtzblatt said the latejustice had been a determined defender of people‘s rights. as a lawyer, she want equality for women and men not in one swift victory but brick by brick, case—by—case.

through meticulous, careful lawyering, she changed the course of american law. and even when her views did not prevail, she still fought. we can speak now to her friend, paul schiff berman. he worked as a clerk at the supreme court and is now professor of law at george washington university. he joins us live now from washington. paul, thank you very much for joining us to reflect on a remarkable woman. much has been talked about about how she had an incredible impact on the united states generally, but she also had a very personal impact upon you. can you explain how? sure. i think it is important to recognise that she had an incredible impact on her clerks, both on the work site and the personal side. on the work side, she

a lwa ys personal side. on the work side, she always focused on incredibly detailed work, doing it well, every sentence, every word, every comma, every citation she laboured over, she edited, reedited. always focused on the task at hand, never getting buffeted by emotions or anger or ego, and always with her eye on the horizon, moving brick by brick, as the rabbi said. on the personal side, as she strove for excellence, she cared about people greatly. and she cared about people greatly. and she certainly cared about her clerks. i was... she certainly cared about her clerks. iwas... when she certainly cared about her clerks. i was... when i was clerking with her, i was dating a woman in one of the other chambers, and somehow she found out about it and she bused me on the intercom one day and said, i did not know you had a special friend at the court. you must have her up for tea. so she

invited my then girlfriend, now wife, up to chambers and she laid the table in her office with beautiful tablecloth and fine china and we had a high tea. it was really lovely. two yea rs and we had a high tea. it was really lovely. two years later, she performed at our wedding ceremony. many people would not have expected her necessarily to be a matchmaker, but as you say, she paid a huge amount of attention to detail. it was typical of her, wasn‘t it, to ta ke was typical of her, wasn‘t it, to take care about the people around her as well as the american public in general in her view? yes, every detail matter to her and doing the best work always mattered to her. every time anyone sent her a letter, she always responded. even if she responded with a two sentence letter, that letter went through multiple drafts. i saw it, she would market in pencil, she would change the punctuation, she would change the punctuation, she would change

the waiting until it was exactly right. that attention to excellence always, step—by—step by step with an eye towards the horizon, with an eye towards the long view and the bigger picture of changing american society person by person, case—by—case. moving the society along with her, not just dictating moving the society along with her, notjust dictating things. i think thatis notjust dictating things. i think that is part of the reason that the changes she made for women and men are enduring. she was perhaps one of the most liberal ofjustices that the most liberal ofjustices that the united states has ever seen, and of course with that, attracted criticism. how did she cope with the criticism. how did she cope with the criticism from those of a more conservative leaning?” criticism from those of a more conservative leaning? i thinki would push back on the idea that she was one of the most liberal justices. she is now known that way but she actually was an institutional list and an incremental list. she never wanted to push the supreme court too far

ahead of where the american popular consensus was. in the 1970s when she was pushing for greater equality for women, she did it first by showing the all—male supreme court that actually gender discrimination hurts men, and men were hurt. so she was a lwa ys men, and men were hurt. so she was always moving incrementally and i think that is part of why she is so revered around the world. she has moved the culture as opposed to jumping ahead of the culture. thank you very much for talking to us about the notorious are bg. thank you for your thank you for having me. family and representatives of breonna taylor have spoken to the media — after angry crowds defied a second night of curfew in louisville, kentucky — to protest at the lack of criminal charges over her killing by police.

ms taylor was fatally shot in her home by police in march. earlier this week a grand jury failed to prosecute any of the three officers involved with her death. earlier, attorney ben crump said ms taylor‘s family had a right to know why no—one was facing prosecution over her killing. breonna taylor‘s entire family is heartbroken. devastated and outraged and confused and be withered, just like all of us, as to what the kentucky attorney general, daniel cameron, present to the grand jury. did he present any evidence on breonna taylor‘s behalf? or did he make a unilateral decision to put his thumb on the scales ofjustice to help try to exonerate and justify the killing of breonna taylor by

these police officers, and in doing so, make sure that breonna taylor‘s family never got their day in court, never got their chance for due process, and in essence, denied them justice. that is why we are standing here today, united in solidarity, declaring and demanding that he release the transcripts of the grand jury proceeding so we can know if there was anybody giving a voice to breonna taylor! let‘s return to the arrests and the seizure of drugs worth more than a million pounds made by police following action against so called county lines drugs gangs. police said the operation was the most successful of its kind, with around 10% of the country‘s county lines drug networks being shut down.

with me now is nikki holland, director of investigations with the national crime agency. ina very in a very nifty lay organised broadcast space, nikki, thank you very much forjoining us from the comfort of your car. tell us how long operation was in the planning? you‘ll the police and the national crime agency, we work around county lines and arresting and looking after vulnerable people continuously. we have done a number of intensification weeks and this one took place over last week. the rest were county lines take every day. how have the conditions of the ongoing pandemic helped you? during covid, if you think about county lines, they rely on transport network, in terms of road or rail, there was less people on the roads and a lot less people on the railways, therefore drugs dealers we re railways, therefore drugs dealers were far easier to spot when out and about dealing at the street level. in terms of the upstream level, obviously the borders were shot, so

there was a lot more seizures that took place. in significant seizures around cash and drugs that were in the uk because they simply could not be shipped out. how has this operation given you a greater understanding of how county lines were? the police and the national crime agency work together in national county lines coordination centre, weedy conflict around intelligence and we share details around movements around the country, right through from the top of the chain overseas, joking that supply at the border, down to street level drug dealers. 0ur at the border, down to street level drug dealers. our picture of intelligence is the biggest it has ever been right now. how do you maintain this success and prevent those networks from forming again where you have managed to disrupt them? obviously through that working together, we are able to dismantle the whole of the organised crime network. the police focus on the street level, as you talked about

earlier, seizing the lines, turning off the lines, arresting the offenders and safeguarding vulnerable people, and the national crime agency work upstream of that, overseas with international partners, so that we can choke the supply coming into the uk. that exploitation and the pilots associated with the county lines model, that starts over seas in the production and ends up in the uk. they are immensely inventive, are they? how do you stop them just bowing up they? how do you stop them just popping up somewhere else?m they? how do you stop them just popping up somewhere else? it is really difficult because obviously drug supply, this is a model of drug supply, drug supply, this is a model of drug supply, it is not a crime type in its own right. it is a business distribution drugs model. we have to adapt as they adapt, throughout covid the adapted how they did their business, so we adapted how we tackle them. we need to keep up with it by working jointly and sharing intelligence. where you have come across children who are vulnerable

children usually, who have been exploited by these gangs, what support do they get? children who are exploited get lots of support, both from the police, from charities, from their nspcc, lots and lots of different places. actually, i would like to appeal to the parents themselves to actually know if there is a difference in their child to seek that support. 0r if in fact you are a child yourself is involved in county lines, you can speak to the police, you can speak to crimestoppers, you can speak to the children‘s line. there are ways to get out of this. nikki holland from the national crime agency, thank you for talking to us. supermarkets have warned that shoppers could face larger food bills next year, if the government fails to agree a post brexit trade deal with the european union. the british retail consortium has calculated that if the uk‘s new global tariffs are applied to eu food and drink imports, it could cost an extra three billion pounds a year. our business correspondent katy austin reports.

the vast majority of the uk‘s imported food comes from eu countries. at the moment, that‘s not subject to import taxes called tariffs. that could change from january, depending on whether a brexit trade deal can be reached. talks restart on monday, but there is no agreement yet. if there is no trade deal, the uk will apply tariffs to food and drink coming in from the eu. the size of those taxes will depend on the product but, on average, would be more than 20%. let‘s take one example. this beef mince will attract a tariff of 48%. if all that tax was passed on to customers, a pack that now costs £3 could rise to more than £4. but that biggerjump is very unlikely because supermarkets would share some of the cost. however, the organisation representing some major supermarkets has calculated the total cost of importing food and drink from the eu would be £3.1 billion. it says some of that would inevitably be passed on to customers in the form

of price rises. don‘t underestimate this being a few pennies. this could be £100—plus per household, if it was all applied. and don‘t forget, this also hits those who have the least amount of money because they pay the biggest proportion of their household budget on food. a spokesperson for the government said it was working hard to reach a deal with the eu and the aim was a zero—tariff, zero—quota free trade agreement. negotiations are ongoing, and discussions will be continuing at the next formal round in brussels next week. the spokesperson added, avoiding tariffs should be beneficial to both sides, particularly given our shared commitment to high regulatory standards. 0ne trade expert said after the transition period, the government will have more flexibility to lower taxes on food from any country. whether it does that remains to be seen, simply because we will be negotiating trade agreements with other countries, and the more that you reduce your tariffs on goods for everyone, the less sometimes some countries want to do trade deals with you. with just over three months

left until the current trading arrangements end, retailers are warning the risk remains of shoppers having to pay more in the new year. katy austin, bbc news. we have a statement from the government regarding the brexit negotiations. they say there is a lot of work to do in negotiations and they have called on the eu to put forward realistic policy positions in the coming days. the british government says we are now in the final period of negotiations, there is a lot to do, and either outcome is still possible. in particular, the differences on fisheries and a level playing field remain significant as they always have. if the gaps in these areas are to be bridged, the statement goes on, the eu‘s more constructive attitude will need to be translated into more realistic policy positions in the days to come. an appeal there from the government to the eu, but as we are used to seeing, there is

often similar pushback from the eu 27. the liberal democrats began their annual party conference today. during the event — which will mainly be held online — their new leader, sir ed davey, will urge the lib dems to listen to communities across the country , and build a "positive post—covid future by embracing a caring, greener and fairer approach". the income of the royal family has been hit by coronavirus — with a drop in the number of visitors to buckingham palace and windsor castle. the latest palace accounts show a potential £35 million shortfall. the figures also show that harry and meghan‘s final royal visit to southern africa cost nearly a quarter of a million pounds. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has more. cheering the most expensive royal tour of the accounting period was the duke and duchess of sussex‘s trip to southern africa. along with baby archie, they visited south africa, and harry travelled on to botswana, angola and malawi.

it would prove to be their last tour as working royals, and cost almost a quarter of a million pounds. injanuary, unable to secure a last—minute scheduled flight, the prince of wales travelled by charter to 0man to offer his condolences after the death of the sultan — at a cost of more than £200,000. and sporting patronages proved expensive for both the princess royal and prince andrew. princess anne flew to rome to watch a six nations rugby match — cost £16,000 — and the duke racked up a similar amount watching the open in portrush, northern ireland. in total, the sovereign grant for the year 2019—2020 totalled £82.4 million. that‘s the amount of taxpayers‘ money used to fund the monarchy, minus things like security. the biggest overall cost was the ongoing refurbishment of buckingham palace which, over the same period, cost £33 million. the coronavirus is expected to impact future accounts,

with an expected £20 million shortfall in funds to pay for palace improvements and a £15 million drop in income, with the reduced openings of royal galleries and palaces. addressing the potential shortfall, the keeper of the privy purse, sir michael stevens, said there was no intention of asking for extra funding and they will look to manage the impact of the pandemic through their own efforts and efficiencies. the duke and duchess of sussex now live in los angeles, but as for their uk home, the palace has confirmed that they paid a lump sum to the sovereign grant to cover the £2.4 million refurbishment, as well as rent at a commercial rate for frogmore cottage in windsor. exactly how much rent they‘re being charged may, or may not, be revealed in next year‘s accounts. sarah campbell, bbc news. it has been announced that princess eugenie and her husband jack brooksbank are expecting a baby in early 2021. princess eugenie, who is tenth in line to the throne, has been married to mr brooksbank

forjust under two years. the baby will be a ninth great—grandchild for the queen and the duke of edinburgh. there are exactly three months to go before christmas — and retailers are telling shoppers to be prepared and to start buying gifts early. with coronavirus restrictions likely to remain in place well into next year, firms are preparing for more christmas shopping than ever to be done online. emma simpson has more. too soon? love it or loathe it. retailers are already preparing for christmas. this year, shoppers may need to be ready a bit earlier too. it‘s been like christmas for six months for us. meet the boss of yodel, one of the uk‘s biggest parcel carriers. parcels are delivered from retailers and you‘ll see the different shoots around. over here, we‘ve got shoots for kilmarnock and glasgow in scotland,

and behind you for 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 about1 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 at this stage of the year than they were last year. we think that people are planning ahead. i think they‘re right to do so, by the way, because last—minute 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.

now it‘s time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. well, today feels like we are well into autumn, almost feels like winter is just around the corner with that cold, northerly wind, if we could at least lose that northerly wind and a little bit of sunshine, it shouldn‘t feel too bad. i think, overall, the weekend is going to stay quite chilly, the wind that is coming in from the north is here to stay, at least another couple of days. and there is that nasty, low pressure there in the southern north sea, spiralling those winds out of control on the north sea coast, in fact, they‘re gusting in excess of 60 miles an hour in some places, windy inland with an excess of 40, so temperatures with only around 12—13 degrees, it is a case of thick coats today for a number of us. we haven‘t got the hailstorm that we had yesterday, but there are a few showers here and there, but notice that actually the weather is pretty clear across many parts of the country for this afternoon and this evening. so it is still very windy through the night, along

that north sea coast, especially off the coast of east anglia, so temperatures, when it is windy, even this time of the year and through the winter, don‘t tend to fall that low. 8 degrees there in norwich, a touch of frost ashore again in rural parts of scotland. tomorrow, that nagging northerly wind continues along the yorkshire coast, lincolnshire coast, east anglia there will be some showers around, but slowly, slowly, slowly that low pressure is finally blowing itself out. it‘ll be better in the west over the weekend. the reason why it is better in the west over the weekend is because the jet stream is sending weather fronts in this direction, another low pressure pulling away, we are sort of in between weather systems, so this sort of western slither of the uk enjoys the best of any sunshine. still a chance for thicker clouds, some spots of rain, and a breeze in the east, down the south east during the course of sunday. so i think you are a winner if you are in plymouth, cardiff, liverpool, belfast, glasgow, the best of the weekend weather, both on saturday and sunday. early next week, we are going

to lose that current of cold air from the north atlantic, it will be replaced by milder, i want to emphasise —er, westerlies, temperatures will actually bump up to possibly the high teens across some parts of the country, but then that means later on in the week, with the milder atlantic air comes more unsettled windier and winter weather.

this is bbc news, i‘m martine croxall. 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 head of the met police paid tribute to the officer. 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. a minute‘s silence has been held at new scotland yard — as well as the croydon custody centre — in tribute to the sergeant. tougher restrictions are imposed in leeds, stockport, wigan and blackpool which will ban households mixing in homes
