good evening and welcome to bbc news. more than a quarter of the uk population is living under stricter coronavirus lockdown rules as new measures come into force this weekend. the rate at which the virus is spreading in britain has been speeding up. households in leeds, wigan, stockport and blackpool are now banned from mixing in each other‘s homes or gardens. in manchester, 1,700 students have been told to self—isolate for a fortnight, after a spate of positive tests. households will also be banned from mixing in the welsh town of llanelli from 6pm, with cardiff and swansea following suit tomorrow. the chairman of the commons education committee, robert halfon, is calling for clarification from the government on how it plans to deal with coronavirus outbreaks at universities.

it is very worrying. there are reports suggesting that up to 3000 students are in lockdown, in universities as far as dundee to exeter. i think the time has come for the department for education, the chief medical, the chief science officer to give a statement setting out the policy for university, to reassure university staff, to reassure students and their families because we don't want to have a situation where students are in a lock—down in the halls of residence at christmas time. this would cause enormous anguish to both the students and families across the uk. borisjohnson has told the un general assembly that countries should unite to defeat the coronavirus pandemic. in a pre—recorded message played in new york, he announced a series of new measures to help lead the world out of the crisis. let's heal the world, literally and metaphorically, and let's begin with the truth, because as someone once said, the truth shall set you free.

and with nearly a million people dead, with colossal economic suffering already inflicted, more to come, there is a moral imperative for humanity to be honest and reach a joint understanding of how the pandemic began, how it was able to spread. not because i want to blame any country or government or to score points. i simply believe, as a former covid patient, that we all have a right to know so that we can collectively do our best to prevent a recurrence. let's get some more reaction to this from professor clare wenham who's an assistant professor of global health policy at the london school of economics. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news to stop or did you make of what he had to say? i think it's really interesting, i welcome a lot of what

he said, and i think that the fact that he focused on strengthening the who and committing to funding to be so who and committing to funding to be so that the uk is now going to be the largest state funder of the world health organization is a real clear commitment to international collaboration and cooperation. and the uk government has recognised that, to get through this crisis and prevent the next one, we need to work with our neighbours and we need to be able to have transparency and be able to collectively figure these problems out because they're only going to be somewhere else on the road, outbreaks elsewhere in the road, outbreaks elsewhere in the road can affect us because we have seen, so i really welcome a lot of what he said today. listening to some of the figures that the prime minister mentioned there, people at home here, he did mention, i think it was 76 million for the uk domestic market, and access to vaccines. but people who will be

worried about their jobs vaccines. but people who will be worried about theirjobs will be saying, where is this money coming from? how about the next three or six months? absolutely, and obviously, borisjohnson has to weigh up different priorities that he has as prime minister, whether he is focusing on the short of the long—term. but i the strategy he set out today, this five—point approach to global health security, is thinking more in the long term. it's not just about stopping coronavirus, it's about how do we prevent the next one? and how do we stop ourselves from getting this situation again? and i think so much of the last seven, eight, nine months has been focused on the short time to stop i really welcome the fa ct time to stop i really welcome the fact that he is thinking a bit more about this in the next crisis, who knows when that could be? do you think it's going to rely on the rich nations to push this? there are 100, nearly 200 members of the un, it's going to come down to those traditional rich nations to push this forward, isn't it? well, yes

and no. ithink this forward, isn't it? well, yes and no. i think some of the funding that's going to need to be injected in to the global health governance is going to have to come from somewhere. whether that is from rich nations, the private sector, from philanthropy, i think it will be annexed, as it is at the moment. it is also about a normative commitment by governments to wanting to work cooperatively, to wanting to share data. that doesn't cost anything to stop wanting to ensure that they are willing to report outbreaks to the who, tell other governments that what they're doing is working not working, that doesn't cost money, it's just about government saying, we need to have this open dialogue and have transparent conversation about outbreaks and pandemics. 0k. sorry, carry on. iwas about outbreaks and pandemics. 0k. sorry, carry on. i was going to say, that doesn't cost something. so well vaccines and surveillance systems cost money, it's both money needs to

go in there, but also just commitment from other governments, which have not been universe up until now. 0k, thank you very much indeed. say hi to your daughter, as well. thanks! shortly, will bejoined by viewers on bbc one, but first, to america. president trump is expected to formally announce his nominee to fill the supreme court seat left vacant by the death of ruth bader ginsburg later. us media reports say he will nominate federal appeals courtjudge amy coney barrett. she's known for her conservative religious views and has called abortion immoral. david willis reports. amy coney barrett is an outspoken conservative and the ideological opposite of the woman she is expected to replace. a devout catholic and mother of seven, she was the early favourite to take the place of ruth bader ginsberg, a liberal icon and the first woman ever to lie in state in the us capital.

and her nomination will come before miss ginsburg has even been laid to rest, with what is already becoming a highly contentious presidential election only weeks away, president trump clearly believes time is of the essence. i think this will end up in the supreme court, and i think it's very important that we have nine justices, and i think the system is going to go very quickly. i'll be submitting at five o'clock on saturday, the name of the person i chose for this most important of all positions. and i think we should go very quickly. at the age ofjust a8, amy coney barrett would be the youngest justice on the supreme court bench. appointments are for life and hers would cement the 9—member panel's shift to the right, possibly for as long as a generation. its sharpest ideological swing in nearly three decades. shortlisted in 2018 for the supreme court nomination that went to brett kavanagh, it is amy coney barrett's views on abortion that

most worry liberals. she has called abortion immoral, and some believe her appointment could imperil the landmark roe versus wade ruling back in 1973, which legalised abortion here nationwide. asked about his reported choice, president trump was giving little away ahead of the formal announcement later today. you'll find out tomorrow. she's very... look, they are all great. it could be anyone of them. but he's made clear he would like to see his nominee confirmed before the presidential election in november. that could prove significant, because as well as issues such as abortion, the supreme court might also be called upon to adjudicate the outcome of the election itself, should the result be disputed, as there now seems every chance it will be.

good evening. 1,700 students in manchester have been told to self—isolate after 127 of them tested positive for coronavirus. young people in two halls at manchester metropolitan university have been told to stay in their rooms for 1h days even if they have no symptoms. it comes after all students in scotland were told not to go to pubs, parties or restaurants this weekend to prevent outbreaks in universities spreading to the wider population. our education correspondent dan johnson is manchester for us. the scientific advice said some stu d e nts the scientific advice said some students would bring coronavirus with them to campus and at and that universities would have to deal with significant outbreaks. we are now starting to see numbers at different universities and they said this shows they have the contingency plans in place to respond but bear in mind not every university even

has all its students back yet. lough dan, isolated and imprisoned, hardly the fun evidence of student life expected by nadia and her flatmates. i live for —and—a—half hours away. if they knew this was going to happen what was a point of making us come here if we are doing online lessons. we have barely got any milk and bread to last us until monday, we can't do our washing. it's pathetic. then‘s lack of it has been cut off for a week after one of the first cases here. three more days left and we would be out and being able to leave and then they have announced we had to stay here for a couple more weeks. health officials say they had to move quickly to keep this under control. we have been really concerned about the rising number of positive cases over the last few days which went from a very small outbreak to over 120 cases as you have identified and we knew it was time to take swift

actionjust to limit we knew it was time to take swift action just to limit the spread amongst the student population but also the spread in our local communities in manchester where there are more vulnerable people. this morning worried parents were running resupply missions. she hates it. she loves you need but the isolation is upsetting her. our youngest daughter who has moved away from home. it is worrying. his daughter chloe started chronology here last week. we had travelled up last night and got here and she says we have been put into isolation for two weeks so she can't come home. we bought her a few essentials and have got two go back now. there are concerns about the impact on students's well—being and teaching. perhaps the universities should consider a discount to the students where their learning is interrupted and they are not having significant face—to—face learning with lecturers 01’ face—to—face learning with lecturers or tutors. glasgow university said after an

outbreak they had put halls of residence in lockdown and would be found among the's red. they promised food parcels, and a way to watch wash clothes. we are waiting for information from the uni about help. we don't know so far but it is looking a bit more positive that they will help us. more cases will come and universities say they have plans to respond. young people may be at lower risk of getting ill but stopping the virus spreading means there will be further disruption to their learning and social lives. dan johnson, bbc news, manchester. the latest government figures show that there were 6,0a2 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. that means the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is 5,560. 3a deaths were reported of people

who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test and that means on average in the last week 30 deaths were announced every day taking the total number across the uk to 41,971. more than a quarter of the uk population — that's around 17 million people — will be living under stricter coronavirus rules from this weekend. richard galpinjoins me now. what more can you tell us? it is quite a raft of new restrictions being imposed by the government today and over the weekend. if we look at england to start with, households in leeds, wigan, stockport, blackpool, all banned from today from mixing into each other‘s homes or gardens. in wales there are more areas coming under lockdown, in particular llanelli where there has been a really big spike in infections there. so from 6pm today no one can

leave the town unless they have a valid reason and that is also going to be applied to cardiff and swansea which are also facing these same new rules from the same time tomorrow. if you add up the numbers of people in wales now under lockdown it is about half the population of wales, soak in huge numbers of people. one other thing. it has emerged today there are problems with the long—awaited smartphone app, covid app, which was launched last week, to help curb the spread of the virus, regarded by the government as being a vital tool in the battle against the epidemic here. a p pa re ntly against the epidemic here. apparently it does not accept test results processed in the state run lab and that is a huge problem. the department of health is saying they are working urgently to fix the problem. thank you very much for that update. tributes are being paid

to the police officer shot dead at a south london custody centre yesterday morning. a friend of matt ratana, who was 5a, said he moved into working as a custody sergeant because he thought it safer. an investigation is under way into how the handcuffed suspect — who is in hospital with a bullet wound — was able to take the weapon inside. let's go live to tom symonds who's in croydon for us. this facility for handling suspects was designed to be ultra secure. in his final years as a police officer he was potentially nearing retirement. matt rata na he was potentially nearing retirement. matt ratana wanted to move away from the streets where all police officers face such dangers. u nfortu nately police officers face such dangers. unfortunately this was not to be a safe place for whatever reason. the stream of well—wishers with flowers hasn't slowed here all day. and the death of this respected police officer was marked as far away as his native new zealand by

the country's prime minister. donna marie turner worked with sergeant but i know in community policing. he had a very live professional expense of dealing with communities and that was evident in the way he policed and spoke and the way he engaged and as a friend when my own mother died in 2018 he spent the day with us as a family, he held my hand while i cried. a mile away the busy road where this incident began, a 23—year—old man stopped in the early hours by a police patrol. what happened next is at the heart the inquiry. as the suspect was arrested, he was handcuffed. he was also patted down we have been told. but that is all they can do here on the roadside. if a gun was concealed it might well have required an intimate search to find it and that can only be done back at the police station. there,

officers were about to begin the search process with a metal detector when the shots were fired killing matt ratana when the shots were fired killing matt rata na and when the shots were fired killing matt ratana and critically injuring the suspect. cctv footage will be vital in understanding what happened. the gunman was referred to an anti—radicalisation programme but was not seen as a risk. mental health issues will be considered. discovering a motive is key. what is much easier to explain is the respect for this police officer and by respect for this police officer and rugby coach. he put so much into everyone else, he didn't expect anything else in return. he embodied what the club meant. it was a great honour, he was a class guy, he will be really missed by everyone in the community. the shock deepened by the fact this was a police officer shot by a handcuffed man in a police station. the please now have to work out how and why it happened. tom symonds bbc news, croydon. rugby. and saracens have been knocked out

of the european champions cup in a tense semifinal in paris. adam wild watched the action. their welcome in paris comes with a futuristic feel although the future feels for saracens rather less barking. condemned to relegation at home, heavy punishment for breaching financial rules, europe then is their last hope for this great team. in truth and saracens were not expected to get this far. still for much of their semifinal against racing 92 it looked as though they could even go further. alex goode's kicking keeping things close before in the second half dumping them into a slender lead. commentator: three good penalties. a flash of french flair and racing we re a flash of french flair and racing were suddenly racing towards the final. one of the greatest moments in their history. a quite brilliant try sparking wild celebrations under the paris roof. for saracens there was no coming back. their return to european competition will now be years away.

here is where the story ends for them, the end of an era as elite by them, the end of an era as elite rugby now looks to a new future without them. adam wild, —— adam wild, bbc news. that's it from us. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are.

online betting brings in more than £2 billion a year, and almost half of all premier league teams have gambling companies on their kit. now a group of recovering gambling addicts are calling for change and are walking more than 130 miles to make their case. matt graveling reports. i lost every single penny i had in the world in 20 minutes. the most i ever did in a day, looking back, was over 600 bets in a day. there was one particular day where i spent £16,000 in a single day. it just got too much. between them they gambled away more than £1 million. ijust need a minute. they say losing control after becoming addicted to mobile gambling, specifically football's in—play betting. at his lowest, ryan

considered taking his life. i always felt quite alone, i guess when i was gambling, money's money, but emotionally and inside, it just tears you to pieces. as the new football season kicks off, ryan, james and steve are supporting a new team, one on a long road to recovery. made up of former addicts, plus friends and loved ones, charity project the big step is currently doing a lot of steps. with police permission and in groups of six or less, they're taking on five marathons. over five days, this group will walk 130 miles and they're doing this to gain signatures on an online petition calling for a ban to gambling adverts in football — these include television commercials, signs at the side of the pitch and arguably the most prevalent of all of them, the sponsorship of the match day shirts. of the 20 teams in the premier league, half promote a gambling company on their kit, a number which has doubled within ten seasons.

we don't want to stop anyone having a bet. it's about preventing kids being exposed to gambling, sponsorship and advertising in football. even people that like a bet, we know, are fed up with this level of advertising. it's just reached saturation point. also walking is james's friend jack, a psychological therapist. i'm seeing, particularly in my practice, younger guys, i would say, from my experience so far, who are gambling much more. these products have psychological hooks in their design. so if you place maybe an in—play bet and win, that win can be lethal because that win triggers something which then means that you have to then do it again. injuly, a house of lords select committee recommended premier league clubs should no longer be allowed betting firms on their shirts. this is due to be considered by the government in the coming weeks. in response, the premier league said, "we do not have a central "gambling related partner.

it's a dangerous game. you know, when you consider how much children do actually take in with regards to their surroundings and surely this is just going to breed more addicts. after admitting to stealing from work to feed his addiction, steve served ten months in prison. in this day and age, it seems that gambling's 0k. it's normal. but the onus is put on the person to be responsible. but the products are really dangerous. it doesn't affect the one person, you know, it affected everybody close to me. the gambling commission said gambling advertising is subject to strict content appeal and targeting rules, designed to ensure that marketing for gambling products are socially responsible with particular regard to the need to protect

children and young people. football doesn't have to be the problem. it can be the solution. and if i was in a room of 20 clubs and say you need to stop your addiction to gambling and protect the next generation, not go through the same thing that we did. matt graveling reporting. if you, or someone you know has been affected by the issues raised this morning, you can find help and support on the bbc‘s actionline website, at bbc.co.uk/actionline. time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. the best of the weather today has been across the western side of the uk in the sunshine, but there's certainly a chill in the air for all of us thanks to this nagging northerly wind, strongest for the eastern side of the uk, closer to that area of low pressure. that brought a months worth of rain across parts of east anglia yesterday,

and it's been dragging in some strong winds today, a rather gloomy scene here along the coast in suffolk. and really cold, as well. a lot of cloud recently across the eastern side of england, keeping temperatures down, and the cloud has been bringing some outbreaks of rain and drizzle. that's tending to move its way towards the south—east by this evening. still quite windy along the north sea coast of england. winds gusting a0 mph or more. gradually the winds will ease down a bit overnight, but we will keep a lot of cloud for the east of england and it is probably going to turn dry, though the rain is not far away. further west, lighter winds, clear skies, it will be a bit colder and there may be a touch of frost again in central scotland and parts of northern ireland. but much milder for eastern england thanks to that shield of cloud overnight. it does look quite cloudy again for eastern england on sunday, but a good deal drier. further west across the uk, we can look forward to more sunshine after that chilly start, the winds will not be as strong, either. and they are easing down through the day across east anglia

and the south—east of england, but in the morning in particular, again, we could see gusts of around a0 mph. with wind easing a bit to the afternoon, though, it won't feel quite as chilly. we could get temperatures of 16 or so in london. higher temperatures further west into wales, 18 in cardiff and swansea. as we move into monday, we lose the northerly wind and instead we get atlantic wind, but that means more unsettled weather, some bands of rain coming in from the atlantic. and we still start the day across east anglia in the south—east with cloud, the odd spot of rain, that should eventually push away as we get our main band of cloud and patchy rain heading its way into more western areas of the uk. in between, some sunshine and without the winds, temperatures in most places will be a bit higher, could be up to around 17 or more in hull and norwich, much milder than it has been over the weekend. temperatures nearer normal, i think, on monday, perhaps into tuesday, as well, but as we move wednesday through the rest of the week, temperatures drop again because it turns more unsettled

with wind and rain. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... a quarter of the uk population will be under extra lockdown rules — as new measures come into force across parts of northern england and wales over the weekend. it comes as 1,700 students in manchester are told to stay in their halls of residence for two weeks after a spike in coronavirus cases. the department of health say they are working to fix a problem with the nhs test and trace app in england and wales after some users were unable to input negative test results. tributes are paid to a popular and talented police officer killed at a custody centre in south london. sergeant matt ratana was shot, as a suspect in handcuffs
