we are not yet able to speak to him. us media say donald trump will nominate conservative federaljudge, 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 nadia 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. she's our 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 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. earlier, i spoke to elliejackson and herflatmates, a group of first year students starting their second period of self—isolation at manchester metropolitan university.

we are currently locked in our accommodation for 1h days, and not allowed to go out and get food. we haven't done our laundry in about ten days because we have been in lockdown already. this is not, i imagine, the university experience you were expecting. what were you expecting? to be able to go out, socialise, meet new people, even just go into university for my course, as well. i am all online, so i haven't even been into university. what are they doing to get you fed? we have no food, that hasn't been given to us yet, so it's all in our own hands. but my family live five hours away, it's not like they can just come and drop off essentials. how did you find out you were going to have to self—isolate like this? it was not from the source you might have expected? no, so i found out through a group chat that

there was an e—mail passed round to a different set of halls that are also isolating. but before i received the e—mail it was in manchester evening news already, and i hadn't got an e—mail myself yet. thank goodness for local newspapers. tell us what your parents think of the situation you're in. as you say, they are a long way away from you? they are very worried, they've been trying to contact the university, but nobody has been there to speak to them as well, so they are just really worried because it's the first time i have moved out of home as well. what were the possibilities of you going home? we weren't really told whether we could go home or stay. now we're being told we have the weekend to decide whether to go home, but even then, they are advising us not to use public transport and things like that, but that'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.

my course is all online, 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 these circumstances. it will make you bond pretty well, won't it? yeah. not the experience i had, i have to say. what would you like from the university? i think, more guidance. we all want more guidance. we just haven't been told a lot. we've had an e—mail and that's it. there's just a lot of uncertainty. definitely. food, we don't have any food. a lot of the food slots you can get from places 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 were just told, there and then, we had to isolate.

and there is a security guard on the door, we can't go out at all. there is a security guard stopping you going? yeah, there is 24/7 security all around the building, and we have to have a reason to go out or do anything. and if you leave you can't come back in. it's like a weird reality show, isn't it? yes, like big brother! but you're getting on ok at the moment? yes, at the moment. i usually find three weeks in close confines with 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... itested positive, maybe 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 for us, even though we should be free on 2nd october,

so now it's more like the 9th. 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. but, i mean, yeah. what a great bunch of people they were. 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. 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 for 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. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers, our guests joining me tonight are nigel nelson and jo phillips. 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. 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 live professional experience 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 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 in return apart from your best. 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 police now have to work out how and why it happened. tom symonds bbc news, croydon.

this evening, 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. the headlines on bbc news... 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. 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 was being checked in. 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. sport and for a full roundup, from the bbc sport centre, here's 0llie. we've had three results so far from today's premier league matches. chelsea came back from 3—nil down at west bromwich albion to draw 3—all. thiago silva was given the chelsea captaincy on his debut and his error let in callum robinson

for his second goal. even though we came back into the game, it was the least i expect the players to go. we are still coming together because it is new and fresh and we have to accept the fact that where we haven't had time to work as a team, they will be a bit of a process but it is a process in real time. too priceless to us today, which we will to make up. everton are top of the table with three wins out of three. they beat crystal palace 2—1 — the winner came after a very contentious var handball decision. richarlison scored the penalty. here's confirmation of all today's premier league scores. bruno fernandes scored the winning penalty in the 100th minute for manchetser united as they beat brighton 3—2. the referee had blown the final whistle but var spotted a handball. and danny ings has given southampton an early lead in the evening game at burnley. none of the top four

teams were in action in the scottish premiership. leaders rangers and second place celtic both play tomorrow. st mirren are bottom after losing one nil at home to kilmarnock. livingston beat stjohnstone 2—0, while hamilton and dundee united drew 1—1. arsenal are through to the women's fa cup semi—finals after a 4—0 win over tottenham hotspur. spurs news signing, american superstar alex morgan was due to make her debut but didn't come off the bench as lisa evans scored a hatrick in the final 17 minutes to keep arsenal on track for a record extending 16th win in the competition. in rugby union, exeter chiefs have reached their first european champions cup final — after beating the four time winners toulouse. exeter ran in four tries during the 28—18 win — harry williams bundling over the first of them. toulouse responded quickly — alban placines going over. exeter led at half time though — sam simmonds scoring

just before the break. williams scored again before joe simmonds sealed the win late on. toulouse did get a second try shortly after — but it was not enough for the french side. it won't be an all—english final though, defending champions saracens have been knocked out by racing 92 in france. finn russell's clever kick set up the the winning score forjuan imhoff five minutes from time. the end of european rugy for saracens for least two seasons — remember they've been relegated to the championship for breaching salary cap rules. england's women have won their t20 series against the west indies with two matches to spare. england chose to bat first in derby — nat sciver scoring a t20 career best score of 82 as the west indies were set 155 to win. deandra dottin top scored with 63 — but once she was out, west indies hopes'

were all but over. england winning by 20 runs. the fourth match is on monday. it felt like a good game today. there could be a game on all the time, when she could do something special. 0ur bowlers were put under pressure today and had to perform, despite that, so that was really pleasing, but we are looking to win the series 5—0 if we can so we have to keep on top of my game to do that. lewis hamilton is on pole for tomorrow's russian grand prix as he looks to equal michael schumacher‘s record of 91 formula one race wins. hamilton set a new track record at the sochi autodrome and was more than half a second quicker than the red bull of max verstappen who'll line up alongside him. his mercedes team mate valtteri bottas was third. that's all the sport for now.

in the next few hours, 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. and we'll be live at the white house in washington from around 10pm this evening for special coverage of that announcement from president trump of his nomination for the us supreme court. 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.

nearly half the world's astronomical observatories are based here, but there is a problem, the growing urban sprawl of nearby cities is making stargazing just that little bit more difficult. translation: when i arrived here that were around 2000 people living in san pedro, there are around 12,700 in the last census. the city has grown and the sky has got worse and worse every year. we have to understand light pollution is a serious problem for astronomers. new buildings, roads and shopping centres all bring illumination or pollution — depending on your point of view. for some this is not just about science, it is about national pride. translation: in chile we have a natural heritage, which is this natural laboratory in the atacama desert which is unique in the world, it is the place where humanity studies the universe and tries

to understand the origins of life and we have a very strong duty to care for our country's heritage. lawsuits have already been filed against some companies, with claims they've exceed limits on light emissions and the government is considering new laws with stricter enforcement. not a moment too soon, say the astronomers, who insist action is needed before the stars fade out of sight. now, this is the moment a defendant in ohio in the united states made a daring escape from the courtroom while being sentenced for a drugs offence. nickolaus garrison broke free of the deputies holding him and made a run for it, causing one officer to fly down the stairs head first. after three days at large, garrison is now back in custody. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz.

this evening dust. the exceeding a0 miles an hour along the coast, the north—east coast, and a lot of cloud has filtered in from the north—east to see and i will hang around through much of sunday across eastern parts of the uk. so, by the early hours of sunday morning, with a cold wind blowing off the north sea, ironically in a bad cold overnight, 12 in —— 12 degrees in norwich and london, the strong wind continues along the north sea coast on sunday, it will ease somewhat but it will remain strong, a fairly cloudy in the east, best of the weather will be across more western

and northern areas. hello, this is bbc news with me, martine croxall. 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.
