we are not yet able to speak to him. us media say donald trump will nominate conservative federal judge, amy coney barrett, to the supreme court. a formal announcement from the white house is expected later. the dramatic moment a teenager is rescued off the coast of portrush after jumping from rocks. 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 m 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. locked down, isolated and feeling imprisoned, hardly the fun and freedom of student life expected by nadiah and her flatmates. i live, like, four—and—a—half hours away. if they knew this was going to happen, what was the point of making us all come here if we're going to do online lessons? we've barely got any milk and bread to last us until monday. we can't do our washing. it's a bit pathetic. ben's flat of eight‘s been cut off for a week already after one of the first cases here. three more days left and we were going to be out and being able to leave, and then they have just announced we're going to have to stay here for a couple more weeks. but health officials say they had to move quickly to keep this under control. we've been really concerned about the rising number of positive cases over the last few days.

it went from a very small outbreak to over 120 cases, as you have identified, and 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 the uni, but the isolation is really upsetting her. when it's your youngest daughter who has moved away from home... it is worrying, ain't it? his daughter chloe started criminology here last week. she was supposed to be coming out for the weekend, long weekend. we 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've just brought her a few essentials from the asda and we've got to go back now without her. and 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 or tutors. glasgow university said after an outbreak there put halls of residence in lockdown, it will refund a month's rent. it also promised food parcels, clean bedding and a way to wash clothes. it's only really been today we've kind of been given information about how the uni are going to help, and what they're going to do about it. so, i mean, we don't really know so far, but it's looking a little bit more positive that they're going to 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. joining me now is elliejackson, she's a first year student starting her second period of self—isolation at manchester metropolitan university(.

thank you forjoining us, along with your friend. thank you forjoining us, along with yourfriend. we must say thank you forjoining us, along with your friend. we must say that your lives together, so it's perfectly 0k that you're gathered there like this, before they think we are breaking any rules. tell us what your situation is. we are currently locked in our accommodation for 1h days, and not allowed to go out and get food. we haven't done our own laundry in about ten days because we have been in lockdown already. this is not, i imagine, the university experience you were expecting. what we re experience you were expecting. what were you expecting? to be able to go out, socialise, meet new people, even just out, socialise, meet new people, evenjust go into out, socialise, meet new people, even just go into university for my course, as well. i haven't even been into university. what are they doing to get you said? we have noted, it's all in ourown to get you said? we have noted, it's all in our own cans. but my family

lives five hours today, it's not like they can just come and drop off essentials. how did you find out you we re essentials. how did you find out you were going to have to suffice like like this? it's not from the source we might have expected? —— you're going to have to itself isolate.|j found out through group attack. there was an e—mail passed down to a different set of holes that are also exciting. that i found out through a group chat. i hadn't got an e—mail myself yet. thank goodness for local newspapers. tells what your parents think of the situation you're in. there are a long way away from you? there are a long way away from you? there are a long way away from you? there are very worried, they've been trying to contact me, it's the first timei trying to contact me, it's the first time i have moved out at home. what are the possibility is you going home? we weren't really towed whether we could go home or stay. now you're being told we have weekend to decide whether to go

home, but even then, they are advising us not to use public transport and things like that, but it's the only way for most of us to get home. it's expensive to go to university. what do you think so far of the value for money you're getting? poor, really, really poor. i could have done this at home, and i'm paying for this accommodation, as well. i don't think it's worth the money, at the moment. how long have you all know each other? two weeks! i imagine you're pretty good friends already, under the circumstances. it will make you bond pretty well, won't it? yeah. yeah. not the experience i had, i have to say. what would you like from the university? i think, more say. what would you like from the university? ithink, more guidance. we all want more guidance. we haven't been told a lot. we had an e—mailand haven't been told a lot. we had an e—mail and that's it. haven't been told a lot. we had an e-mail and that's it. there'sjust a lot of uncertainty. definitely. food, we don't have any food. a lot

of the food slots you can get around here have been taken, so...|j of the food slots you can get around here have been taken, so... i think the thing, as well, there was no notice at all. theyjust told us on the day of that e—mail, so we couldn't even go out and get some food and prepare for the week, we we re food and prepare for the week, we were just told, there and then, we had isolate. and there is a guard on the door, we can't go out at all. there is a security guard stopping you going? yeah, there is security all around the building, yet a reason to go out or do anything. and if you lead you can't come back in. it's like a reality show, isn't it? yes, like big brother! but you're 0k at the moment? yes, at the moment. i usually find three weeks in close confines of people is the real test, you probably have another week to go. tell us how many of you have had any symptoms? you said, ellie, you have been, this is your second period of isolation? yes, so... i tested positive, may be eight days ago today. so my period of symptoms,

i was meant to be able to go out on monday, i believe. but now the lockdown has been extended, even though we should be free on monday, so though we should be free on monday, so now though we should be free on monday, so now it's more like the night. and how poorly have you been? for me, personally, not that bad. the first few days were maybe a bit rough but after that... pretty upbeat answer. but, i mean, yeah. i imagine after seeing you on the telly, there might be some kind of response from the university! maybe send a tweet, that's often flush people out. you're all in very good spirits, i'm glad to say. i hope someone sends you for personal, will have to have a whip round and put a parcel together and send it up to manchester! i'm sorry this is the

beginning you're having to your university, but under the circumstances, what sort of media you all in? i think we are all pretty upbeat. we are all happy because we got a good fight and we all get along well. we all get along well, yeah. that's what we've got a good flat. i'm glad to hear it, my heart breaks, the first few weeks of university should be extraordinary, i remember mine, athletes, which i should mention to people from manchester! thanks so much for talking to us. —— i remember mine at leeds. they were very well behaved. we did worry a bit! we will find out how this story is carried in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm tonight. —— how the story is covered. more than a quarter of the uk population are living under stricter coronavirus lockdown rules, as new measures come

into force this weekend. it comes as the rate at which the virus is spreading in britain appears to be speeding up. from today, households in leeds, wigan, stockport and blackpool are banned from mixing in each other‘s homes or gardens. households are now banned from mixing in the welsh town of llanelli, with cardiff and swansea following suit tomorrow. meanwhile another 6,0a2 new coronavirus cases were recorded over the past 2a hours, and there were 3a deaths among people who had tested positive for covid—19 in the past 28 days. meanwhile, the department of health say they are urgently working on fixing the new coronavirus app, that currently prevents some people with positive tests from entering their results. people who test negative are also unable to share their result unless they booked their test through the app itself, meaning they can't switch off alerts telling them to self—isolate. here's our technology correspondent, zoe klineman, with more detail. as with all of the stories about this app, it's more complicated than it sounds. so, basically, when you go to register symptoms in the app, it then says to you, you need to go and get tested. and when you get your test results,

it asks you to alert the app to whether you get a positive or negative test, and it says you need to input a code. however, the app only launched on thursday, and what people are finding is that when they get a negative test result sent to them via text or e—mail, it doesn't have a code, so they can't input anything, and, yet, from the moment they've started reporting symptoms, they are getting a self isolation countdown that starts going, advising them to stay indoors for the next two weeks. so, they are feeling very frustrated they can't switch this alert off because they can't share the test results they have that's negative. 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. the prime minister, speaking to the un. police have clashed with anti—lockdown protesters at a demonstration in central london as officers tried to shut the event down. thousands of demonstrators gathered in trafalgar square carrying signs and flags to protest against government lockdown measures. the metropolitan police say the crowds had been asked to disperse because they were not complying with social

distancing rules. 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 underway into how the handcuffed suspect — who is in hospital with a bullet wound — was able to take the weapon inside. from croydon, tom symonds reports. 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 murray—turner worked with sergeant rata na in community policing. he had a very kind of lived professional expense of dealing with communities and that was evident in the way that 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 of the inquiry. as the suspect was arrested here, 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 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 rugby coach. he put so much into everyone else, he didn't expect anything else in return, apart from your best. he just embodied what the club meant. it was just a great honour, he was a class guy. he will be really missed by everyone in the community. the shock deepened by the fact that this was a police officer shot by a handcuffed man in a police station. the police now have to work out how and why it happened. tom symonds, bbc news, croydon. within the past hour, the acting deputy commissioner of the metropolitan police, stuart cundy, gave this update on the murder investigation. yesterday, one of my colleagues, matt, was murdered. and my thoughts are with his partner, his family, his friends, his colleagues, both here and across the world. and, as well as remembering that,

over the last two days, we have been working round the clock on our murder investigation. at this time, the suspect remains in hospital in a critical condition and due to his state, we are not yet able to speak to him. we have teams of specialist investigators who are investigating matt's murder. we have four major crime scenes, each of which is being painstakingly searched and will be subject to a detailed and painstaking forensic examination. we have recovered the gun from the custody suite where matt was shot and that gun is being forensically examined. we also have the cctv from that custody suite, which shows the event.

and we have body worn video of our police officers who were involved in the circumstances surrounding the arrest of the suspect. 0ur specialist investigators are carefully reviewing all of that footage, which will be considered alongside the accounts of the officers. one of the aims of our murder investigation is to establish why matt was shot. one of my priorities is to ensure that any future criminal prosecution is notjeopardised. and i know that will be important to the public, too, which is why i ask for everybody‘s support, to not speculate about the events and circumstances. and finally, i would like to thank everybody for their support, which means so much to all of those

who worked with and knew matt. thank you very much. acting deputy commissioner of the metropolitan police, stuart cundy. a six—year—old girl has died after being hit by a falling tree at a school in newcastle. the accident happened yesterday lunchtime at gosforth park first school. the girl died today in hospital. her headteacher said the entire school community had been ‘shocked and devastated'. in around three hours' time, president trump is expected to announce his nominee to fill the supreme court seat left vacant by the death of ruth bader ginsburg later. the us media report that he will nominate federal appeals courtjudge, amy coney barrett. she's known for her conservative religious views and has called abortion immoral. supreme courtjustices are nominated by the us president, but must be approved by the senate. 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 ginsburg, 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 kavanaugh, 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 any one 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. lebanon's prime minister designate, mustapha adib, says he's given up his attempt to form a government and is stepping down. mr adib was nominated after the explosion that destroyed much of the centre of beirut. he was trying to put in place an administration to tackle lebanon's grave financial crisis. 0ur correspondent in beirut, lina sinjab, has more on what's led to mr adib's resignation. it's a whole system that is built not to allow him to succeed. what he wanted to do, also an initiative pushed by the french president, emmanuel macron, is to form a government of experts rather than a government of partisans who are loyal to their sects and parties more than they are loyal to their country, and that's how lebanon is set up to be, a country of sectarian divide, of sectarian polarisation, as well.

and mr adib wanted to form a government of, you know, experts who would be able to help rescue lebanon from the financial crisis and economic collapse, especially, that it moved from bad to worse following the explosion in august. but, as he said it himself, he wanted to rescue himself from forming this government that reached... all his efforts reached a deadlock. mainly the two blocs that are hindering his efforts are the shia blocs, amal and hezbollah, who want to keep control of the portfolios in the government that will secure their interests, mainly the financial, ministry of finance that they're insisting should remain in their hands. tomorrow, the people of switzerland will decide whether or not to keep their free movement of people treaty with the european union, a move that could affect their country's long—standing access to europe's free trade area. imogen folks reports from bern.

switzerland is becoming too crowded, or that's what supporters of ending free movement say. the population has increased 30% — from 6.6 million to 8.6 million — injust 30 years. the blame, some say, is immigration from europe. the campaign message is blunt — the european union is crushing switzerland. translation: we are heading straight towards 10 million people in switzerland. many of these immigrants stay here, even if they become unemployed. it's clear that we just can't take it. it can break switzerland up. but this vote could be tricky — switzerland isn't in the eu but it has a complex set of treaties with brussels. swiss access to europe's free trade area is tied to keeping free movement. 60% of all swiss exports go to europe.

opponents of abandoning free movement say it risks recession and unemployment. and that's why the government, most political parties, and business leaders here are hoping voters will say a big yes to keeping free movement. they fear switzerland just has too much to lose abandoning it. and there is something else — the swiss have lived with free movement for more than a decade. half a million swiss live and work in the eu. young people especially are used to it. the free movement of persons agreement is a right of freedom for us swiss citizens. thanks to it, we can work, live, study, or love, wherever we want in europe. 0pinion polls suggest the swiss will hang on to those close european ties. that would be a relief to the government. but a yes to keeping free movement from non—eu member switzerland

could have wider implications too, a signal to other countries. like the united kingdom, perhaps, of the kind of compromises brussels expects from countries hoping for a free trade deal. imogen foulkes, bbc news, bern. now it's time for a look at the weather. thank you. it's been another blustery day for many of us, especially living close to the north sea coast, and that wind will be with us for the rest of the evening tonight and into tomorrow, as well. so, colony today with brisk winds, especially on these, but some sunshine around, is welcome especially if you live further west across the uk, and you can see clear skies here on satellite picture because western parts, whereas in the east, we are still under the influence of this nagging area of low pressure, this cold wind that

has been with us for days now. this is the very wind that brought summer to an abrupt end a few days ago. so, by the end of the night, where the wind is blowing off the north sea it's not actually that cloud, the irony is, it feels cold during the day but temperatures overnight don't dip that low, worry about the sunshine during the day and clear skies of night is where the temperature drops close to freezing 01’ temperature drops close to freezing or below. tomorrow morning, some time for much of scotland, northern ireland, the irish sea coming to wales, the south—west of england, look at that, 18 in cardiff, wouldn't like to hear, if the sun comes out it should feel pleasant. —— windsi comes out it should feel pleasant. —— winds i lighter here. cloud and re m na nts of —— winds i lighter here. cloud and remnants of the cloud northerly wind making its presence felt. that's where the front approaching from the west, often when they approach from the west to bring milder air, you can see the westerlies, which have cut off that cold wind by then. that

does mean rain for belfast, glasgow, eventually, the north west of england, wales will get some, too, on monday. not an awful lot, it's another whether or narrow weather front, but in the east if the sun comes out, there's not a lot of cloud, temperatures will rise up to 18 celsius, so it should feel fairly pleasa nt 18 celsius, so it should feel fairly pleasant three monday. tuesday, a gap in the weather, as well, but i think after tuesday, it really is a com plete think after tuesday, it really is a complete change of gear, a powerful jet stream will send a series of low pressure in our direction. and in fa ct pressure in our direction. and in fact these will keep coming and coming for the rest of the week, from around wednesday and was come into the weekend. so we are in for a speu into the weekend. so we are in for a spell of some very unsettled, potentially very windy weather. i think coming down a little, turning a little warmer early in the week, then downhill to possibly scenes like this. that's it.

this is bbc world news. our top stories: a quarter of uk population will under extra lockdown rules in england and wales over the weekend. it comes as 1,700 students in manchester are told to stay in their halls of residence for 2 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
