claudia hello, welcome to bbc news, i'm victoria derbyshire. and here are the headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the new york times says it has obtained donald trump's tax records, which it says shows he paid just $750 in income tax the year he ran for president. mrtrump mr trump dismisses the report as fa ke mr trump dismisses the report as fake news. self—isolate or face a £1,000 fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for coronavirus. the majority of people have been following the rules but we know that not everybody has, which is one reason why we have been seeing an increase in the rates again. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak spreading. if you're a student currently

in lockdown at your uni, how are you doing? let us know. three more areas of wales are going into local lockdown, meaning nearly two—thirds of the country will be living under tighter restrictions. tackling racism in football — the bbc have a special report on how football is dealing with the problem during the pandemic. the new york times says president trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in the year he won the presidency. the newspaper, which says it obtained tax records for mr trump and his companies over two decades, also says that he paid no income taxes at all in ten of the previous 15 years. the records are reported to reveal chronic financial losses and years of tax avoidance. mr trump dismissed

the report as "fake news". 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes reports. once again, donald trump and his tax returns — the story that's dogged the president ever since he announced he was running for office, and long before, as a businessman. now, the new york times says it has obtained tax return data from mr trump dating back more than two decades, along with the hundreds of companies that make up his business organisation, and detailed information from his first two years in the white house. the paper says the data shows his finances are under stress, beset by losses, with struggling properties and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. it reports that mr trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in the year he won the presidency, and another $750 during his first year in office. he paid no income tax at all in ten of the previous 15 years, according to the paper.

this, it says, was largely because he reported losing much more money than he made. the new york times say the records reveal the hollowness but also the wizardry behind the self—made millionaire image. floating presidential tradition, he has long refused to make but also the wizardry behind the self—made billionaire image. flouting presidential tradition, he has long refused to make his tax affairs public. speaking at a news conference at the white house, he was quick to deny the latest story. it's fake news. it's totally fake news, made—up, fake. we went through the same stories — you could've asked me the same questions four years ago i had to litigate this and talk about it. er, totally fake news, no. actually, i paid tax, but... and you'll see that as soon as my tax returns are... it's under audit. they've been under audit for a long time.

a lawyer for the trump organisation said the story was "riddled with gross inaccuracies", and questioned the timing, saying it was part of an ongoing smear campaign in the run—up to the election. it follows mr trump's controversial nomination of a conservative judge to sit on the us supreme court. it also marks the start of a pivotal week in the campaign, when the president and joe biden will finally go head—to—head on tv. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. richard lempert is an emeritus law professor at the university of michigan. he gave his reaction. i wouldn't say anything is incriminating yet. but there is an awful lot that suggests there may be incriminating things. what trump seems to have done is come as close as he could to the lines between legal and illegal tax avoidance. nothing the times has published to date establishes that his avoidance has been illegal. but there is an awful

lot which suggests that further exploration might indicate that illegalities have occurred. for example, he claimed a $71 million tax deduction that seems to be based on losses he suffered when he gave up his interest in his atlantic city casinos. but that deduction is only allowed if he held absolutely no interest afterwards and the times story suggests that, in fact, he held 5% interest in the successor organisation. in the successor corporation. that's what the audit he's under has been all about. new laws come in across england this morning which mean that anyone who tests positive for coronavirus or has been told they've been in contact with someone who has now has a legal duty to stay at home, orface a fine. the government says the police will act on "local intelligence" to check up on those who fail to comply. under the new rules,

anyone required to self—isolate who doesn't will be fined £1,000 rising to a maximum fine of £10,000 for repeat offenders or serious breaches. around four million people on low incomes who can't work and are losing income whilst self—isolating will be eligible for a £500 payment. the uk government hopes the new measures will reduce the spread of covid—19 and not replicate the sharp rises in infections seen across france and spain. in madrid, new lockdown restrictions will restrict the movements of nearly a million people. in wales, three more counties — neath port talbot, torfaen and vale of glamorgan — will have extra restrictions imposed later. that means nearly two thirds of the country's population will be under lockdown, as tomos morgan reports. from today, people across england will be required by law to self—isolate if they test positive or are contacted by nhs test and trace. there are also further restrictions on the number of wedding guests allowed — only 15 people will be able

to attend a marriage ceremony for the foreseeable. across the border in wales, though, the number of wedding guests remains at 30 for now, but further measures come into force here in other aspects of life. cardiff has become the first uk nation capital to go back under lockdown measures. residents in swansea will also have extra measures placed upon them, extended households or bubbles will be stopped, meaning mixing with people from other households indoors will have to end for now, but up to 30 can meet outside at a social distance. nobody will be able to leave the two city areas without a valid reason, such as going to a place of work where working from home isn't possible, going to school or for caring responsibilities. the first minister, mark drakeford, has also said that another three local authorities will be placed under local lockdown measures from this evening. figures have continued to deteriorate in those three areas over the weekend.

we signalled on friday that we were keeping them under very close scrutiny. and the advice we have had is that now is the moment we need to act and local restrictions will apply in those three areas — torfaen, the vale of glamorgan and neath port talbot county borough councils. from this evening, 1.8 million people, more than half of the population of wales, will be living under local lockdown restrictions. and with cases continuing to rise across the country, the prospect of another wales—wide lockdown becomes more of a realistic possibility. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. tomos is in cardiff. most of wales is now under lockdown? yes, as you say, by this evening, as we just heard there in the package, with another three local authorities being put under local lockdown measures by six o'clock this evening, that will mean that almost 2 million people in wales, almost two thirds of the population, will be under local lockdown restrictions. if you look at a map

of wales, it is actually the south—central region, but that is where the majority of the population live, and also where the main economic hub is for wales, so, it's a huge part of the country. mark dra keford, a huge part of the country. mark drakeford, the a huge part of the country. mark dra keford, the first a huge part of the country. mark drakeford, the first minister, has consistently said from the start, not just yesterday, that consistently said from the start, notjust yesterday, that if consistently said from the start, not just yesterday, that if things we re not just yesterday, that if things were to deteriorate and the numbers we re were to deteriorate and the numbers were to deteriorate and the numbers were to rise again, which they have, he's not ruling out the prospect of another national, wales wide, lockdown. he and the welsh government are reluctant to do that, they are pursuing with the local authorities, a local approach, trying to contain the virus where it is at its highest, to try and contain that spread across further parts of wales. those discussion about doing a blanket lockdown gci’oss about doing a blanket lockdown across the entire of the south wales region, but they haven't, they have gone for these local lockdowns, and it seems to be working. in some areas, kai philly, which was the first local authority to go under

local lockdown restrictions, the numbers are starting to decrease, so that seems to be justified, but then in another area, merthyr tydfil, that seems to be justified, but then in anotherarea, mertherydfil, one of the next places that went into local lockdown, the numbers are still fairly high. so, still taking some time for them —— to decrease there. but the prospect of another national wales wide lockdown with numbers rising in many different areas of wales, and now in many of the north wales local authorities, it does become more of a realistic possibility. i think what will be different if that does happen is that it will be difficult to see if it will be as strict as before, considering the effects on people is mental health, on the economy. but we may be talking about going back into local restriction rules, not travelling, and that is the case at the moment in these local areas. people should not be leaving the local authority area without a valid

reason. that may be for work purposes, if people can't work from home, people going to school across the local authority borders, or for childcare or other caring responsibilities. so, there are some reasons why you can leave, but for the majority, they must stay within their own boundaries for the foreseeable. thank you very much, tomos morgan. so how will these new rules be enforced? dal babu is a former chief superintendent with the metropolitan police. we are told that police will use local intelligence, how do you think thatis local intelligence, how do you think that is going to work? well, i think victoria, you have hit the nail on the head when you talk about intelligence officers. remember we have lost over 20,000 officers, and 18,000 police staff, many of those would have been intelligence officers gathering the information and helping the police to be deployed effectively. so, i think we

are ina deployed effectively. so, i think we are in a real dilemma in terms of police resources because we have lost such a huge amount. the government are replacing the 20,000 police officers but have had to put things on hold during covid. so, there is a big stretch of the existing police officers to do things on top of what they are doing already. in effect, do think there new law can't be enforced? well, i think it is going to be challenging. there will be other people who will be responsible for enforcing this law as well as the police. but if we are looking at getting a box of police officers and saying, here you are, here is another box of police intelligence officers, theyjust don't exist. i think this probably shines a light on the challenge we have with policing. we really need to make sure that once we get the police officers up to a suitable number, that we keep them at that number. we have this yo—yo effect where crime goes down because policing has been effective and then we immediately cut back the officers. theresa may very famously

said, policing is about catching criminals, nothing else. actually, you can see from this issue that policing is a lot more complex than just catching criminals. it is that wider safeguarding, it is about working with different agencies and keeping people safe. working with different agencies and keeping people safelj working with different agencies and keeping people safe. i want to ask you about the 10pm pub, restaurant, bar curfew, you will have seen like all of us on social media over the weekend the hundreds of people chucked out of pubs at ten o'clock because of new closing time, the labour mayor of greater manchester this morning said he thought it was doing more harm than good. from a policing point of view, what would you say? well, certainly when i was a borough commander, one of the key things you needed to do was to get a grip on your licensed premises because it stops antisocial behaviour, stops violence, stops people doing awful things on kicking out time. so, what you do is you speak to all the licensed premises and you have a staggered end of

licensed premises. some would end at 10.30, some were shut at 11, some would shut at half past 11, so you don't have everybody piling out at the same time. if it is 10pm four on licence, where people drink alcohol, whether in a restaurant or a pub, off—licences, in other words, shops, supermarkets, their conditions are unaltered. so, we have a situation where people are piling out of pubs and then getting to and take a ways from off—licences. so, we need to make sure that is coordinated. and going back to the box of police officers that don't exist, sometimes you may only have a handful of police officers on duty at that time who aren't dealing with other calls, as the police federation have already pointed out. thank you very much, dal babu, former chiefs of. some breaking news now to do with

uberand some breaking news now to do with uber and whether it is able to operate in the future in london. it has just won its legal bid to restore its london operating license, a judge hasjust decided. you might remember that the london transport regulator stripped it from the taxi app over safety concerns. transport for london refused to grant ita transport for london refused to grant it a new licence in 2019 due to what it called a pattern of failures but uber has argued that it has since put in place various measures over insurance verification and driver identification. so it has won its legal bid to restore its london operating licence. the headlines on bbc news... the new york times says it has obtained donald trump's tax records, which it says shows he paid just $750 in income tax the year he ran for president. self—isolate or face a $1,000 fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for coronavirus. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university in england will be taught online only for the next two weeks,

to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak spreading. a series of measures designed to contain the coronavirus are due to be extended around the spanish capital, madrid, today. an additional one million people in the city and its surrounding areas will see their movements restricted. bars and restaurants will also have to close early. guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. an imaginary border has been in place in madrid in recent days. it separates areas that are under restrictions from those that are not. each morning, these workers cross the frontier, travelling from inside a restricted zone to their workplace. translation: the studies show that in these areas, the virus is much more prevalent, so i think this is a good idea. it's a good idea. translation: why confine only some areas and not all madrid or all of spain?

that seems strange to me. these measures have been in place in 37 districts of madrid and its surrounding region. movement in and out of these areas is restricted, this and limits have also been imposed on bars, restaurants, parks and other public spaces. siren wails. the police have been helping ensure the new rules are enforced, but for the first few days, they did not fine people. although these restrictions have only been in place for a few days, there has been increasing pressure on the regional government of madrid to take further action to halt the spread of coronavirus. and on friday, it responded by announcing it will extend these measures to other parts of madrid and the surrounding region. as a result of this broadening of restrictions, around a million people are now

under partial lockdown. however, the central government has said that it would like more drastic action to be taken across the whole of madrid. this bar in southern madrid is just inside one of the restricted areas, so it has to close at 10pm and limit customer numbers. "we follow the rules for our own good," says luis estefan, a waiter in the bar. "we don't do it to avoid getting into trouble. "we are doing this for our own safety." it's another early night for the bar and its staff. the question now is whether these measures will help close down the spread of coronavirus. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. it's thought around 3,000 students in the uk are currently in lockdown at universities

from dundee to exeter. but two have been badly affected. at the university of glasgow, 172 students have tested positive, and 600 are isolating. while at manchester metropolitan university, all first year and foundation students will be taught exclusively online for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak from spreading. 1,700 freshers are self—isolating in halls of residence there, after 127 tested positive. labour has called on ministers to consider pausing the return of students whose terms are yet to start. john mcmanus has the latest. spelling it out. the message from fee—paying students in manchester is clear. as the academic year begins, thousands of them around the uk have been sold to self—isolate. it's an unwelcome start for those who'd been dreaming of living independently, away from home. manchester metropolitan university says it's helping with essentials

like shopping, laundry access and medicines, but parents have also been on—hand. and it's announced that all lessons for first—year students will be online—only for next fortnight. it's a similar story in glasgow, where scottish students have been advised not to travel home. and if they must, not to stay overnight. for all new arrivals, like these at newcastle, this year's freshers' week will be different. i am moving in with nine other people in my flat, we'rejoining a bubble and hopefully that's going to keep us safe. i am excited, but quite nervous because you don't really know what to expect. erm, but, i'm just going to make the most of it. university authorities say they need to keep students and staff are safe, but there are some calls for a refund of accommodation fees. it's a terrible mess and nobody wanted this, and it's heartbreaking all round. and of course, if the students can't have their lived—in experience and have to go home,

of course it is right that their accommodation fees should be refunded to them. last week the health secretary, matt hancock, refused to confirm that students would be allowed to go home at christmas. for one mother who has just dropped her daughter in durham, that's a worry. i'd like her home at christmas. and i hope that the position we'll get to, because that's ten weeks away, is that i'd like to think that by the time they've gone through this and maybe there has been some local infections and lockdowns, etc, that in ten weeks' time they might be in a position to let them come home. that's what i hope. banned from the student union bar, some new arrivals have managed to see the funny side. but if the restrictions on young adults continue into the autumn term, the mood may turn rebellious. john mcmanus, bbc news. with me now isjon heath. his firm is offering free legal advice to students — also i'm joined by maya bonsor

from essex — a fresher at the university of manchester. why might students need some legal advice at the moment, jon heath? can you hear me? no, clearly not. maya bonsor, can you hear me? yes, i can hear off or how are you doing? i am doing good, thank you. so, what are the restrictions on you at the university of manchester? your peers at the metropolitan university are obviously a sticky situation at the moment? at the minute, i have not actually had any restrictions officially but i am scared to leave my house. within three days of being at university my flatmate was exposed to the virus three times just simply by going to class. so, just simply by going to class. so, just being faced with that in such a short amount of time i am literally scared to go anywhere. being ill so far away from home, it is such a terrifying idea. how do you know you're flatmate was exposed to the

virus three times? two of her course mates actually tested positive just a week ago. and they were still going to lectures without realising that they had tested positive? know, so, they were going into class and thena so, they were going into class and then a day later, they started feeling symptoms, went and got a test and then said, oh, i have been positive and i didn't even know. so it has been really scary for all of us. so, is your flatmate now self—isolating? us. so, is your flatmate now self-isolating? yes. and you are, presumably? yes, we were, until, she got a negative test back. so we should be ok but we are being very cautious at the minute. should be ok but we are being very cautious at the minutelj should be ok but we are being very cautious at the minute. i mean, are you being cautious, do you feel like you being cautious, do you feel like you are following the rules? we have seen loads of people who, particularly when pubs close at ten o'clock, who are not remembering to socially distance, like so many people? but i think it is important that we have got to remember that

the risk is everywhere. she almost picked it up just from the risk is everywhere. she almost picked it upjust from going to class, it's notjust pubs and parties, it is literally your day—to—day life. i think it is really important that we have got to remember it is notjust people disobeying the rules that are getting ill, it is everyone, it takes one person to be a responsible and the whole flat has to pay. and so in terms of your university experience, the difference between what you were expecting and what it is actually like at the moment, what would you say? yes, it's disappointing, it seems like a lot of my learning is going to be online and it is quite difficult when my course is quite tactile. it simply can't be done all online. university experience is about making us whole rounded individuals and i don't think we will be able to get that from sitting in our bedrooms and logging into a computer. let me try jon heath again. oh, no, the picture has gone now, never mind the sound! maya bonsor, iwish has gone now, never mind the sound! maya bonsor, i wish you all the best, thanks for being with us

today, i appreciate it. the owner of australia's biggest theme park has been fined the equivalent of $2.5 million over the deaths of four people on the thunder river rapids ride in 2016. two women and two men died when rafts collided at dreamworld on queensland's gold coast. ardent leisure had pleaded guilty to three breaches of workplace health and safety laws. here's ardent‘s lawyer. i am here today to say that ardent apologises unreservedly for the past circumstances and failures of dreamworld that resulted in the tragic loss of four lives and for the ongoing impact that this terrible tragedy has had on so many people. on behalf of the ardent board and the new dreamworld leadership team, i would also like to express our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of roozi araghi, luke dorsett, kate goodchild and cindy low, for their enormous loss. with more on the story, here's our correspondent in sydney, phil mercer.

these are pretty heavy fines for ardent leisure, this is the parent company of dreamworld, the biggest theme park here in australia, and one of the most famous. and this relates to a terrible accident on the thunder river rapids ride at dreamworld in october of 2016. four people, four adults, were killed. and it is often the case in these horrible events, these were witnessed by family members of some of the victims. we heard today from a teenager who saw her mother and two of her uncles killed. we also heard from a woman called kim dorsett, she was the mother of two of the victims, and she spoke of her post traumatic stress that she struggles with every day, she told the court, since that terrible day four years ago. and she said at the

southport magistrates' court today that she lived in a village of grief because of what happened to her two children in october of 2016. britain's cabinet office minister michael gove is heading to brussels today, as brexit negotiations between the uk and the eu continue. the two sides are attempting to agree a trade deal post—brexit, but sticking points remain over fishing rights and business subsidies. the coronavirus pandemic has been particularly challenging for discount supermarkets like aldi and lidl, the uk head of aldi has admitted in an interview with the bbc. giles hurley acknowledged that his company had not benefited from the boom in online shopping in the way its rivals had, and added that aldi is now trialling activities like a delivery service and click and collect. he also told our business correspondent emma simpson that there were growing signs of people beginning to mass purchase certain items, but said there was no danger yet of stocks running out.

we've got really good availability across all the products in our range. but we have definitely seen a bit of an uptick in demand for certain items, the likes of toilet paper, pasta, rice and tinned foods. but i have to say it's nothing in comparison to what the industry experienced in march. we haven't introduced any restrictions on products at the moment. we were the first supermarket to do that back in march, but that is something that we will continue to review day in, day out. i think the overriding message to customers should be that they should buy exactly what they need, when they need it, as they always do. you have missed out in this boom online grocery sales. the market's shifted dramatically. so, do you now have a problem because you don't do online? wel, look, you're right, it has been an extraordinary time for the supermarkets. i've never known anything like it. our business performance over the past six months has been very, very solid.

we're growing according to data by about 10%. i think what we also recognise is that consumer habits are changing and that we need to evolve our business to meet those new demands and we're actively doing that. we've had a tie—up with deliveroo across 20 stores trialling rapid delivery of groceries to customers' homes. we've announced our first click—and—collect and store, which is a project i'm really excited about. what is aldi's game plan now? because some people have said, "aldi is losing momentum, "aldi has pea ked." well, we know that the most important thing for our customers is value for money. and that's why we've made it our number one mission to keep our prices the lowest in britain. that is an unbreakable contract that we have with our customers. and such is our confidence in that, that you know, i'm announcing today the investment of

£1.3 billion in expanding our store network here. that means 100 new stores, 100 store upgrades, 4,000 newjobs this year, an additional 3,000 newjobs next year and investment in our logistics chain to support that store growth, our biggest ever investment in 30 years in the uk, i think, is very much testament to the confidence we have in the future here. hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. the headlines. the new york times says it has obtained donald trump's tax records, which it says shows he paid just $750 in income tax the year he ran for president. self—isolate or face a £1,000 — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for coronavirus. while the majority of people have been following the rules.

we know that unfortunately not everybody has. and that's why one of the reasons why we have seen an increase in the rates again. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak spreading. three more areas of wales are going into local lockdown, meaning nearly two—thirds of the country will be living under tighter restrictions. more now on the news that around 3,000 students in the uk are currently thought to be in lockdown at universities from dundee to exeter. labour has called on ministers to consider pausing the return of students whose terms are yet to start. let's speak now to larissa kennedy president of the national union of students. do think students have not gone back yet should not? we think they should be access for students who absolutely need the campus for example students who are care leavers, international students, other students who don't have other places to go. but of course we are

also saying, as we have been four months, that the students who can stay home we need an investment into digital infrastructure so that they can digital infrastructure so that they ca n a ccess digital infrastructure so that they can access their learning remotely. what do you mean? somebody buy them a laptop? so we mean there are lots of reasons that online learning isn't accessible from slow broadband through to lack of equipment, be that kind of computers and other forms of equipment, particularly for disabled students who need other accessible forms of technology. so there are definitely things we need universities to be doing to make sure that everyone who can is able to access their learning remotely. yes, ok, so that's what university should be doing right now, is that what you are saying? absolutely. but as well as that we need to think about the mental health implications for students who are currently locked down. so we also need to be focusing on that to make sure every student has access to the support they need at this time, as well as

they need at this time, as well as the kind of immediate resources the stu d e nts the kind of immediate resources the students who are locked down need and do not have the basic amenities they need from food to toiletries and other things they need to survive lockdown. is it a frightening time for some students? first time away from home, potentially having to self—isolate, potentially having to self—isolate, potentially not being able to mix at all, doing their lectures online. could that have a real impact on someone? it's an incredibly scary time. particularly for, as you say, stu d e nts time. particularly for, as you say, students who have been asking for a long time, what is safe? and have been repeatedly encouraged by government, by universities, to uproot themselves from their lives, leave theirfamilies, uproot themselves from their lives, leave their families, leave their support networks, move miles from home living independently for the first time for many of them, and are now finding themselves without any human contact in some cases. this is absolutely ridiculous and students need urgent access to the food and basic amenities they need to survive

lockdown, they need the mental health support to make sure that they are notjust being cooped up without any support and the financial impact of this needs to be addressed as well. because of course, students are paying rent in some cases for places they cannot now a ccess , some cases for places they cannot now access, or places they are trapped in. thank you very much, larissa kennedy. president of the national union of students. later today, the number of deaths from covid—19 is expected to pass the million mark as cases continue to soar. the majority of infections and confirmed deaths are still in the usa, brazil and india. paul hawkins has more. praying for his father and uncle. abu baker knows what it's like to lose a loved one to coronavirus. my father became ill and when we took him for a test, his results were positive.

and quickly after a few phone calls i found a hospital for him in sandton. and we took him to the hospital. and that day, little did i realise, it was the last day i was going to see my father's face. aboobakr runs an ambulance service nearjohannesburg in south africa. it offers an in—house oxygen concentrator solution for coronavirus patients who cannot leave their homes. my uncle also started getting ill. we took him for a swab test unfortunately the result came positive. he was also having difficulty in breathing. the ambulance took him to the hospital that day and that was the last goodbyes. i can actually picture him sitting in the vehicle and we were waving at him as he was leaving the house. his story will be familiar to millions of people around the world. like patrick, another front—line health worker in france. he thinks he may have had the virus, and so did some of his colleagues but they were not so lucky. translation: the real shock was when we discovered that a certain number of doctors were beginning to die.

this was the case of our gynaecologist colleague. when we learned of his death it was a shock. that was the moment when we went from a flu to a deadly disease and that was a terrible realisation. over 31,000 people have died from the virus here. cases are on the rise. so in paris and marseille hospitals are delaying some operations to free up beds. while bars and restaurants in marseille are closed this week, in paris they need to shut by 10pm. but france has no plans for a nationwide lockdown. translation: we are not going to stop it. it is not possible. those who have that in their mind are deeply mistaken. we will not stop the virus. we are in a phase of viral circulation. we will not stop it any more. until then, we are told to self—isolate. but not everyone does. one study by the uk government found just 18% of people with symptoms were self—isolating.

so from monday in england, anyone who doesn't can face fines of up to $13,000. without an effective test and trace system, or a vaccine, it's a blunt instrument to control the virus. which keeps on claiming lives and changing society. paul hawkins, bbc news. a bbc panorama investigation has found a catalogue of concerns from whistle—blowers inside the uk government's test and trace system. one says she spoke to just one positive case in four months. the government says 500,000 people have been contacted, as lauren moss reports. today has been a total and utter waste of time. i've been unable to log in for the entire shift. alex is one of thousands of coronavirus tracers hired to work for the nhs test and trace system in england. she used to be employed by the bbc before changing careers to be a health care professional but was unable to work during the pandemic. in the four months since test and trace went live, alex spoke to only one person with coronavirus.

my grey hairs that are turning up now have come from trying to deal with the system. test and trace was launched at the end of may with high expectations it would be a key component in the battle against the pandemic. we will have a test, track and trace operation that will be world beating. tracers like alex are tasked with contacting people who have tested positive for the virus to ask them to self—isolate and provide the details of people they've been in close contact with. start tracing... but alex says it fell short of what she expected. ifeel quite ashamed to tell people that this is what i've been working on. how do i say to people i've been working on this for four months and i've spoken to one person in that time? i expected to be busy all the time but instead i was sat in my bedroom or i was sat in my living room, literally like a robot pressing a button hoping that a case was going to pop up. it is demoralising. latest figures show that just over one in five people

who have tested positive still are not being reached. if you test positive for covid—19... the government has set aside £12 billion for test and trace, an estimated 1 billion had been spent by the end ofjuly and there are questions about how it is being used. it is substantial sums of money going out of the door and we don't know exactly what it is achieving. they should never shy away from being open about how taxpayers' money is being spent because in the end we all have to pay this back. the department of health says the system is one of the largest in the world. it works with a wide range of private and public sector partners. it says local authorities have been an integral part of its response throughout and that they have been receiving test, case and contact tracing data since 24th june. 500,000 people have been contacted and told to isolate. more information on how funding is spent will be published next summer. is it what i thought it would be? no. is it what i'd hoped it would be? no. alex has now left test

and trace, but with thousands of new coronavirus cases every day the system will likely be more important than ever as we head into what is expected to be a difficult winter. lauren moss, bbc news. and viewers in the uk can watch panorama: test and trace exposed tonight on bbc one at 7.30pm. and after that at any time on iplayer. revised restrictions on the number of people permitted at weddings in england come in today, with a maximum of 15 people allowed to attend. in scotland, up to 20 people can go to a wedding, while it's a maximum of 30 in wales and northern ireland. the uk government says weddings are ‘particularly vulnerable to the spread of covid—19'. how much of an impact will the new rules have on brides, grooms and the wedding industry? jessica baines had to cancel her wedding twice so far due to coronavirus restrictions and she also runs a wedding cake business. she told me about her wedding cancellations and how the pandemic has affected her business so, our first wedding was booked

for 7th may 2020, and we had booked a nice venue over in the cotswolds, and we had everything planned, everything bought, we were ready to go, and then lockdown hit. so, obviously, we had to get our head around postponing our wedding, like many other couples, across the uk and the world. so, we did so, we spoke to our venue, our venue were quite limited with the dates available to us, we were quite restricted to where we could postpone to, so we had to postpone to a date this year, so we did, and we booked for the so we did, and we booked for 27th november this year. and you were thinking you might have, what, 30 guests, and now it has got to be 15? yes, we were hopeful the whole journey throughout the summer that by november, things would have picked up in the wedding industry but obviously they haven't done, the 30 was announced and we were like, we are going to go ahead with it with our 30 favourite people and even that

in itself was quite a shift from having nearly 100 guests to 30. we had gone through who we were going to have, we had made different plans, we had completely changed our wedding to fit around it, and we had finally got our head around 30 people and had started to get quite excited about it again. and how do you feel about the fact that it is now 15? i mean, it's absolutely devastating, to be honest. we had planned this, going through all of the unpredictability of the summer in the wedding industry and we felt like the 30, we had been given an opportunity to go ahead, we wanted to take that, and then last minute, out of nowhere, just to slash it in half, its so difficult, it's not a decision of choosing out of your friends, it's now choosing which immediate family members you can choose. for some people they have to choose whether they can have their brother or their sister there. and it's just not really viable.

you're ending up spending a huge amount of money on a wedding for only 15 people. did you consider trying to post about again or was that not really an option? i think because of the way the wedding industry has suffered so much, so many people did get the opportunity to postpone from their 2020 to 2021 wedding, so, wedding venues arejust chock—a—block now with weddings for next year, and there's no dates available, or if they are, they are very limited, on a tuesday or a wednesday, they are right at the end of next year, and the options are so slim now for someone postponing, you're left with nothing on the table, really. and so, we are going ahead with our november wedding, with just our parents and sisters and brothers. and i know one of the reasons i think for going ahead is

because your fiance's dad has alzheimer's, and you really, really want him to be there? yeah, you know, for my fiance and for me, he is such an incredible part of our life, and, you know, if we do postpone until 2021 or 2022, which is our option at the moment, you just don't know which of your loved members will be able to be there, and we want him there, and our wedding wouldn't be the same without him, so, yes, we are going to go ahead so that we can have our closest people with us. and one word about your own business, because i can see that you make wedding cakes for a living, that must have been really hit badly? yeah, the hit on the wedding industry has been absolutely horrendous. our income is seasonal anyway so we have lost an entire season worth of weddings already. some people have not even had a wedding this year. i have been lucky enough to have two.

and then because of the six months restrictions to 15 people, it is going to hit next year's weddings as well, and it is going to carry on going through next year, and there isjust no predictability, you can't plan your wedding, for other couples, you know, people having their wedding in august don't know if it is going to be ok by then. as a wedding business, we can't financially survive off nothing. the wedding industry contributes about £10 billion to the uk economy a yeah, and with such a creative backbone to billion to the uk economy a year, and with such a creative backbone to the country, and we're just not able to do ourjobs and there is no support there for us at all. i am in a privileged position that i do have

support from my fiance and family but a lot of people don't and businesses can't survive on nothing for much longer. the headlines on bbc news... the new york times says it has obtained donald trump's tax records, which it says shows he paid just $750 in income tax the year he ran for president. self—isolate or face a £1,000 fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for coronavirus. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university in england will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak spreading. thousands of residents have been forced to flee as firefighters in california battle a new blaze known as the glass fire, which broke out in napa county at the weekend. a hospital has also had to evacuate patients. tanya dendrinos has more. attack from above, fire crews making the most of an opportunity to build containment lines from the air.

the glass fire in napa county, california, has rapidly burned more than 1,800 acres. its dangerous rate of spread thanks to gusty winds, low humidity and sweltering temperatures, forcing evacuation orders to be issued. these are the extreme conditions we were worried about developing this weekend. and all signs are that we could see even hotter temperatures and, unfortunately, more air pollution problems, as these new fires erupt. crews will continue to battle against critical fire conditions throughout monday. no reprieve in what's already been a relentless season, rewriting the record books. five of the six largest fires in california's history all have occurred in 2020, and you notice that most of these have actually occurred in just the last four weeks, here in california. many, including californian governor, gavin newsom, argue it's evidence not only of climate change but

a climate emergency. tanya dendrinos, bbc news. sir david attenborough has given a new warning about his fears for the planet and how he's using social media to get his message across. last week he became the fastest person to reach! million followers on instagram. he's been talking to my colleague louise minchin, ahead of the release of his latest book and documentary. i'm so old, it's difficult to teach an old dog new tricks, you know, and i'm not a great user of social media and i haven't used instagram before. but the message that i am concerned about is so important, i'd use any medium to get it across. through, for example, instagram and other ways of social media, you know, you do have a chance, don't you, to reach out to a different audience. but there is a real sense — because we have had people, so many people get in touch with us with questions for you that the younger generation seem to be — many of them are on board. how does that make you feel? oh, well! i mean, that's the great hope!

i mean, that is the most important hope! the most important place where there should be hope! it's their world and it's their tomorrow. i won't be there — they will be. it's theirs! and if they aren't persuaded that it's important, we're wasting our time! of course it's very important that young people should be concerned about this — and they are, in increasing numbers. it's extraordinarily touching. and i feel privileged that they should listen to what an old bloke like me is talking about. sir david attenborough. sir david also spoke about the impact of lockdown and what it's been like for him. i would like to think, for the last six months, i have hardly moved out of this house, so i can't pretend i've changed my transport behaviour very much. but we are doing so, aren't we? i'm not flying away to all sorts of places. and how would you describe lockdown life? i can't plead a bad time.

i think when i was newly married with a couple of kids, i think of when i was newly married with a couple of kids, in a flat with just two rooms and no garden, and thinking of what it would be like in the oncoming autumn and winter that lies ahead of us, having already been locked away for six months, i mean, that seems to me a pretty tough number. i know it is inevitable, i know it has to happen, and many people are having a much worse time than i am. i am lucky. i have a garden, i have a house and we are surviving, my daughter and i are surviving very well. but it's going to be very, very rough for people. one does miss seeing people and talking to people and having one's friends around and just walking around and seeing other people.

just look at him, he has 11.5 million followers, sir david attenborough. seven years ago, jason liversidge was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, but since then he's set himself a number of extreme challenges, from climbing the highest mountain in wales to abseiling off the humber bridge, all 155 metres of it. this weekend, he set a guinness world record for driving an electric wheelchair at more than 66mph. graham satchell has more. elvington airfield, yorkshire. jason liversidge is getting ready for a world record attempt to be the fastest ever in an electric wheelchair. i'm feeling really excited forjason. i'm feeling a little bit

apprehensive, but i'm absolutely certain he can do it. jason has motor neurone disease. he can no longer walk or talk — but has just enough movement in his left hand to control this specially adapted wheelchair. a test run. the current world record is 62mph. jason gets to just over 50. there's no stopping him, really. you know, if you said to jason you can't do something because that's impossible for someone in jason's condition, he'd find a way round. for someone in jason's condition, he'd find a way round it. we've followed jason's journey from a number of years on this programme. from recording his own voice... this is the first time i have heard my new voice. that is really good. that is. yeah. ..to abseiling from the humber bridge... ..to climbing snowden, the highest mountain in wales. jason has set himself these extraordinary challenges to create memories for his two girls,

lily and poppy, and to raise money for charity. we still have hope that one day there might be a cure. and, as you know, jason has raised a lot of money for charity and he is now raising money for the motor neurone and he is now raising money for the motor neurone disease association with his latest challenge. i can see what it means to jason. what does it mean to you as a family, liz? i think we are alljust incredibly proud of jason. just because you have a terminal illness, that is not the end of your life. you can still go on and achieve your goals. back at the airfield the final checks are done and it back back at the airfield the final checks are done and jason is on his way. when they announced he got to 66mph it was just amazing. we were all elated and jumping up and down and screaming. oh, my god! the top speed confirmed at 66.826mph, a new world record. my ultimate goal was to do it

for my girls, lily and poppy. for them to have a certificate of my achievement to leave behind, along with the other memories we have created. it's so much to share it with my girls. i thought it was really awesome and cool. yeah. and what you think of your dad? i think it's really amazing that he made the record. congratulations, the fastest wheelchair. cheering jason is a world record holder and he's planning more challenges in the months ahead. graham satchell, bbc news. one possible silver lining to being locked inside for months during the pandemic is that for some people, they have formed unlikely friendships. and one relationship in bolivia has ruffled a few feathers, as richard forrest reports. waiting to be served — 18 floors up in the bolivian capital, la paz, this

is the southern crested caracara, or carancho, a species of falcon from south america and, thanks to lockdown, they've struck up a friendship with elba and her son, rudolpho. translation: because of the pandemic, we paid more attention and we saw them more. for me, it was like a visit. i said, i have three lovely visitors because every time that they come they bring us happiness. i feel very happy to see them and, with the issue of fires, with so many animals being lost and birds disappearing, i felt very useful to be saving these three birds. they're known as opportunistic raptors, so they don't miss a trick. this was the only restaurant that stayed open through lockdown, serving fruit and corn, but, after a bit of internet research, the family discovered their visitors were actually meat eaters. so now, they get mince. translation: they come and we give them food, right to their beaks, and they eat it. there are three of them

and they are always together. lately, it seems that, since it is spring and mating season, a couple formed and one comes alone, but the three always come. three's a crowd, supposedly, but not in this case. richard forrest, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather, with ben rich. hello, after what was a decidedly cool weekend and a rather chilly start for some of us this morning, things are actually turning milder through the rest of today. but at the same time it's turning cloudier from the west with some outbreaks of rain. but we've lost this swirl of cloud. this area of low pressure which drove the cold northerly winds many of us had to deal with over the weekend. instead, the winds are switching direction coming in from the west, so that's going to turn things a bit milder. but you can see cloud rolling in as well and that cloud producing some outbreaks of rain as it limps its way eastwards across scotland, wales into parts

across scotland, wales, into parts of the midlands and north—west england. a few spots of rain into the south—west through the afternoon as well. brightening up for east anglia and the south—east after a cloudy start but we'll also see sunshine returning to northern ireland. temperatures 14—19 , it will be quite windy across the northern half of the uk. through this evening and tonight, our band of cloud and increasingly light and patchy rain will push its way further eastwards. it will get stuck for a time across east anglia and the south—east through the small hours of tuesday morning. elsewhere, some clear spells and quite a chilly night for scotland and northern ireland. one or two spots in the countryside down to two or three degrees. so tomorrow, our band of cloud and very patchy rain will linger for a time across eastern england, but generally speaking, tomorrow is a dry and bright day with long spells of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there and it will not feel too bad. temperatures getting up to between 13 and 19 degrees. you can see behind me cloud and rain starting to gather and that

will make for an unsettled midweek period as this area of low pressure pushes in, frontal systems bringing outbreaks of rain and some pretty brisk winds as well. we could see wind gusts of 40—45, may be 50mph in the most exposed spots. outbreaks of rain pushing quite erratically eastwards. some of the rain will be heavy. temperatures between 13 and 18 degrees. now, as we head towards the end of the week, it looks like the unsettled theme continues and, if anything, it could turn even more unsettled with low pressure likely to deepen close to the south of the uk. a bit of uncertainty about exactly where this low will end up. but as we head towards the end of the week and indeed the weekend there is the potential for some very wet and very windy weather, and it will also start to feel rather cool again.

this is bbc news with joanna gosling with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. donald trump paid just $750 in income tax in the year he ran for president — according to tax records which the new york times says it's obtained. self—isolate or face £1,000 fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for covid—19. while the majority of people have been following the rules, we know that unfortunately not everybody has and that is one of the many reasons why we have seen the increase in the rates again. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a covid—19 outbreak spreading. more anti—coronavirus restrictions

come into force in madrid — as the global number of covid—19 deaths heads to1 million. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. democrats in the united states have strongly condemned donald trump's tax arrangements after the new york times reported the president paid no tax at all in ten of the 15 years before he took office. the newspaper says mr trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017. it obtained tax records for him and his companies going back two decades. mr trump has dismissed the report as "fake news". peter bowes reports.

once again, donald trump and his tax returns — the story that's dogged the president ever since he announced he was running for office, and long before, as a businessman. now, the new york times says it's obtained tax return data from mr trump dating back more than two decades, along with the hundreds of companies that make up his business organisation, and detailed information from his first two years in the white house. the paper says the data shows his finances are under stress, beset by losses, with struggling properties and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. it reports that mr trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in the year he won the presidency, and another $750 during his first year in office. he paid no income tax at all in ten of the previous 15 years, according to the paper.

this, it says, was largely because he reported losing much more money than he made. the new york times say the records reveal the hollowness but also the wizardry behind the self—made millionaire image. flouting presidential tradition, he has long refused to make his tax affairs public. he has always insisted his taxes we re he has always insisted his taxes were in orders and therefore never released details. speaking at a news conference at the white house, he was quick to deny the latest story. it's fake news. it's totally fake news, made—up, fake. we went through the same stories — you could've asked me four years ago i had to litigate this and talk about it. er, totally fake news, no. actually, i paid tax, but — and you'll see that as soon as my tax returns are — it's under audit. they've been under audit for a long time.

a lawyer for the trump organisation said the story was riddled with inaccuracies, and it questioned the timing, saying it was part of an ongoing smear campaign in the run—up to the election. it follows mr trump's controversial nomination of a conservative judge to sit on the us supreme court. it also marks the start of a pivotal week in the campaign, when the president and joe biden will finally go head—to—head on tv. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. richard lempert is an emeritus law professor he gave his reaction. what trump seems to have done is come as close as he could to the lies between legal and illegal tax avoidance. nothing the times published today establishes that his avoidance has been illegal, but

there is an awful lot which suggests that further exploration might indicate illegalities have occurred. for example, he claimed 71 million dollars tax deduction. this is on losses he's suffered on giving up his las vegas casinos but that deduction is only allowed if he actually had no interest afterwards. the times story suggests that in fa ct the times story suggests that in fact he hold 5% interest in success of corporations. that is what the audit is all about. new laws come in across england this morning, which mean that anyone who tests positive for coronavirus — or has been told they've been in contact with someone who has — now has a legal duty to stay at home, or face a fine. the government says the police will act on "local intelligence"

to check—up on those who fail to comply. under the new rules — anyone required to self—isolate, who doesn't, will be fined 1,000 pounds, rising to a maximum fine of ten—thousand—pounds for repeat offenders or serious breaches. around four million people on low incomes who can't work, and are losing income whilst self—isolating, will be eligible for a 500—pound payment. the uk government hopes the new measures will reduce the spread of covid—19, and not replicate the sharp rises in infections seen across france and spain. of nearly a million people. in wales, three more counties, neath port talbot, torfaen and vale of glamorgan will have extra restrictions imposed later. that means nearly two thirds of the country's population will be under lockdown, as tomos morgan reports. from today, people across england will be required by law to self—isolate if they test positive or are contacted by nhs test and trace. there are also further restrictions on the number of wedding guests allowed — only 15 people will be able

to attend a marriage ceremony for the foreseeable. across the border in wales, though, the number of wedding guests remains at 30 for now, but further measures come into force here in other aspects of life. cardiff has become the first uk nation capital to go back under lockdown measures. residents in swansea will also have extra measures placed upon them, extended households or ‘bubbles' will be stopped, meaning mixing with people from other households indoors will have to end for now, but up to 30 can meet outside at a social distance. nobody will be able to leave the two city areas without a valid reason, such as going to a place of work where working from home isn't possible, going to school orfor caring responsibilities. the first minister, mark drakeford, has also said that another three local authorities will be placed under local lockdown measures from this evening. figures have continued to deteriorate in those three areas over the weekend. we signalled on friday that we were keeping them under very close scrutiny.

and the advice we have had is that now is the moment we need to act and local restrictions will apply in those three areas — torfaen, the vale of glamorgan and neath port talbot county borough councils. from this evening, 1.8 million people, more than half of the population of wales, will be living under local lockdown restrictions. and with cases continuing to rise across the country, the prospect of another wales—wide lockdown becomes more of a realistic possibility. our political correspondent, iain watson is at westminster. over to you ian latest political reaction. i think we may see us some disquiet and discontent in the conservative and opposition benches about how the government is handling the crisis so far. that is around 50 conservative mps are backing a move by the backbench conservative mp

ministers. when emergency powers came in back in march when the virus was ramping up, emergency measures had to be used on the wednesday of this week he there are changes to be made to allow mps to have a proper scrutiny of the messages that the government are bringing in future. so far, the government has been resisting that. there has been also criticism from mps that the new fines which are being applied today £1000 to people who are not self isolating that those were brought in without discussion in parliament as was the rule of six. but again that isa was the rule of six. but again that is a retrospective measure. the care minister was asked earlier on about why the new funds were brought in. she suggested that this was really a matter of clarity.

it is really clear that it is the rule of six or if you have symptoms that you should get tested and if you are tested positive should isolate and is really clear. some people in government were worried by data and it seems suggested that four out of five people who tested positive were not fully isolating. they were popping out to the shops and some people were going out again when their symptoms receded. that is why they need a much stronger enforcement. there been criticism we re enforcement. there been criticism were recently this idea of a ten p m curfew. across the whole of the united kingdom the mayor of greater manchester was raising earlier but it is needed to have a rethink because we have seen people pouring out of the pubs of the weekend

congregating together especially younger people that we had to be more trouble is worth. they've been suggesting that people might in the end past of bias on instead of leaving pubs and restaurants and more staggered way if you would like that. the government standing firm on this and saying that the longer people drink, the less likely they are to socially distance, so they are to socially distance, so they are standing by the measures at the moment and suggesting that we simply need to bedding. rank you very much. let's get the fault ofjohn apter. as of today the fines for anybody that does not isolate or have been told to do so. how will the police for getting the information to know who to keep tabs on? good morning. it is really difficult and i would imagine that when we talk about

intelligence then that would be, whether it is neighbours or people reporting on the neighbours or the other ways of leaking information, the police are not going to be locking —— knocking on the door. they might get information from the health agencies through the track and trace stop there as a whole host of ways that they can get information. my real concern is that my colleagues who are trying to protect the public not only through this pandemic, but all through the day—to—day pressures that we see, the 999 calls, my colleagues want to do the best that they can we cannot be everywhere all the time. i am afraid that that message has not been as clear that there is simply not enough police officers to do what is expected of them. it is incredibly difficult and we need to

educate the public better. just to clarify, then,. police will not be knocking on the doors of people who have not complied. does that imply that if someone turns up the tip of, then that is a suspicion, isn't it? not hard evidence that you can track and trace. it will all be about priorities. this put it into context. if you look at an average sized town or city, many members of the public might think that in their town or city they have literally dozens and dozens of police officers available at any one time. in reality, we have got a handful. we have a handful of police officers who are managing that area. so it is about priorities. if we get a call that the suspected person who may have the virus and is not self isolating, then that were going to list of priorities. there may be 50

people having a house barty and that will present a health risk and we will present a health risk and we will probably go there first and that does not include the 999 calls and others. it is about managing people's expectations. live talk with the responsibility of policing. ido with the responsibility of policing. i do think it is unfair and my collea g u es i do think it is unfair and my colleagues because there will be those who want us to enforce every single aspect of this with no discretion. there are others who think we should not be finding anybody. my police are trying to find that middle ground but we are damned if we do and we are damned if we don't it is incredibly difficult. it sounds that what you are saying is you do not expect many fines to arise from this new legislation. is you do not expect many fines to arise from this new legislationlj think arise from this new legislation.” think with all of the legislation, let's not forget it is different to wales and scotland as it is in england, i think you will start to see more fines in different areas.

with the more wilful breaches of the law can quit —— breaches of the law that we have seen they were, they will get fined. if people ignore the self isolation, of course we will deal with it. it is a new law, we will adopt process that we have already followed, which is about trying to support, educate and advise the public before we come straight to enforcement. but this is an option but i would also like to see the local authorities and health and safety officers that other people and agencies being able to help us rather than everything been put at my colleague's door because we do not have the resources to do what is expected of us. it is very clear, that you have many different areas, the curfew, the masks, breach

of isolation, and we have seen people coming out of pubs at ten o'clock with that curfew and milling around. what is your perspective on that from policing view? you don't have to be a scientist to know that if you close the bars and restau ra nts if you close the bars and restaurants at if you close the bars and restau ra nts at a ny if you close the bars and restaurants at any given time, everybody of the doors, yes the bars and everybody of the doors, yes the bars a nd restau ra nts everybody of the doors, yes the bars and restaurants are empty out but the streets are full. the handful of police officers that are available will have to do that. some people have said to me and colleagues that we should encourage everyone to go home ina we should encourage everyone to go home in a nice orderly manner. at the rally reality —— the reality is is that some people resist the rules that would have been put in place. it only takes one public order incident to take off that will be difficult to police. again it is

about managing expectations. the public have got to play their part in the vast majority do. the vast majority of people want to keep each other safe but some will not. we have to target those individuals, those people who will break the rules. if people think that police officers will be outside every bar and every supermarket and that there will be many lining the high street it is unrealistic as we do not have the police officers available. people might listen to and think that what you are saying is that effectively it is going to be a free for all. is it worrying that people get the message that we don't have the resources to do with all these new laws? i have certainly been quite consistent on behalf of rank and file police officers for some time now. our resources are really limited. let me reassure the viewers of the vast majority of the public are sensible and are doing the right

thing. the ones who are not, the ones who are having house parties are arguing with the police about wearing a mask, they are the ones that are in the headlines. generally we are dealing with them, but we cannot be everywhere all the time so the public to have to play their part. as we said many many times that we are, and this ever—changing landscape of the law is our new norm. policing has to adapt to that andi norm. policing has to adapt to that and i think my colleagues have adapted well to that. but it is tough and difficult and the only way the camp we can make it work is of the camp we can make it work is of the public works with us. and they have been and it has to continue. thank you very much forjoining us. in spain, new anti—coronavirus rules are coming into force, in and around the capital madrid. more than 1 million additional people will now have restrictions on their movements, and bars and restaurants will have to close early. the measures aren't

universally popular, and have led to demonstrations, like this one on sunday. an imaginary border has been in place in madrid in recent days. it separates areas that are under restrictions from those that are not. each morning, these workers cross the frontier, travelling from inside a restricted zone to their workplace. translation: the studies show that in these areas, the virus is much more prevalent, so i think this is a good idea. it's a good idea. translation: why confine only some areas and not all madrid or all of spain? that seems strange to me. these measures have been in place in 37 districts of madrid and its surrounding region. movement in and out of these areas is restricted, this this and limits have also been

imposed on bars, restaurants, parks and other public spaces. siren wails the police have been helping ensure the new rules are enforced, but for the first few days, they did not fine people. although these restrictions have only been in place for a few days, there has been increasing pressure on the regional government of madrid to take further action to halt the spread of coronavirus. and on friday, it responded by announcing it will extend these measures to other parts of madrid and the surrounding region. as a result of this broadening of restrictions, around a million people are now under partial lockdown. however, the central government has said that it would like more drastic action to be taken across the whole of madrid. this bar in southern madrid is just inside one of the restricted areas, so it has to close at 10pm

and limit customer numbers. "we follow the rules for our own good," says luis estefan, a waiter in the bar. "we don't do it to avoid getting into trouble. "we are doing this for our own safety." it's another early night for the bar and its staff. the question now is whether these measures will help close down the spread of coronavirus. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. it's thought around 3,000 students in the uk are currently in lockdown at universities from dundee to exeter. but two have been badly affected. at the university of glasgow, 172 students have tested positive, and 600 are isolating. while at manchester metropolitan university, all first year and foundation students will be taught exclusively online

for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak from spreading. 1700 freshers are self—isolating in halls of residence there, after 127 tested positive. labour has called on ministers to consider pausing the return of students whose terms are yet to start. john mcmanus has the latest. spelling it out. the message from fee—paying students in manchester is clear. as the academic year begins, thousands of them around the uk have been sold to self—isolate. it's an unwelcome start for those who'd been dreaming of living independently, away from home. manchester metropolitan university says it's helping with essentials like shopping, laundry access and medicines, but parents have also been on—hand. and it's announced that all lessons for first—year students will be online—only for next fortnight. it's a similar story in glasgow, where scottish students have been advised not to travel home. and if they must, not

to stay overnight. for all new arrivals, like these at newcastle, this year's freshers' week will be different. i am moving in with nine other people in my flat, we'rejoining a bubble and hopefully that's going to keep us safe. i am excited, but quite nervous because you don't really know what to expect. erm, but, i'm just going to make the most of it. university authorities say they need to keep students and staff are safe, but there are some calls for a refund of accommodation fees. it's a terrible mess and nobody wanted this, and it's heartbreaking all round. and of course, if the students can't have their lived—in experience and have to go home, of course it is right that their accommodation fees should be refunded to them. last week the health secretary, matt hancock, refused to confirm that students would be allowed to go home at christmas. for one mother who has just dropped her daughter in durham, that's a worry. i'd like her home at christmas.

and i hope that the position we'll get to, because that's ten weeks away, is that i'd like to think that by the time they've gone through this and maybe there has been some local infections and lockdowns, etc, that in ten weeks' time they might be in a position to let them come home. that's what i hope. banned from the student union bar, some new arrivals have managed to see the funny side. but if the restrictions on young adults continue into the autumn term, the mood may turn rebellious. john mcmanus, bbc news. kate green is the shadow education secretary and labour mp for stretford and urmston. thank you. labour's view is that stu d e nts thank you. labour's view is that students who have not gone yet should not go. can can you explain what is the situation? that would certainly be one factor. let's say the students are already back so other measures are needed to. it is why we have laid so much emphasis on

the need for mass testing is that within enable early detection. we have also said that it is really important that universities are supporting to provide remote learning to all students so that they have a choice not to come into class and not be taught in face—to—face settings. that is not possible for every student or every course. if you need practice or lab work, or if you cannot stay in the family home. but the effort university have —— university have made have been excellent and they must be supported also. when you say supported, do you mean extra funding? because there is also discussion around students getting rebates on tuition fees putting more pressure on universities. yes, it is a really difficult situation because i understand that if students are losing their accommodation or

getting —— or not getting the education they expected, they have paid substantial fees for this, we have repeatedly asked government ministers to guarantee that no university will be allowed to fail and they will be vital to helping us rebuild our economy is afterwards. but we have not had that guarantee. ifi but we have not had that guarantee. if i were secretary of state i would be getting everybody around the table now, the universities, the landlord representatives, the stu d e nts landlord representatives, the students union representatives. but how are we going to do something thatis how are we going to do something that is fair to everyone to make sure that student at the very best education, the people are safe and the universities are protected and resilient so that they can continue to be the engines of our local economies that they need to be? do you back students getting rebates? because it is happening, for instance, in scotland with accommodation that they have had rebates. you back students getting

accommodation and tuition rebates and then looking how you can make up this for the university? it is really complicated because not all is provided to universities as there are also private accommodation and offers. i also think that it is important that the first priority is to make sure the students get the best quality learning that we can provide. that will include very good quality remote learning for some. let us look at all the factors, including keeping the option of rebates on the table, i do very much think we have to do that, but it is not the only thing and it may not be the most important thing. many stu d e nts the most important thing. many students might want just to the most important thing. many students might wantjust to get on with their education. what about. -- what about students, we are hearing about students in manchester that if

they leave they can come back.” think there has been a bit of heavy handedness around some of this, but the public health considerations have to be paramount. we have said that this is really not good for student's mental health. to be isolated away, to be away from home and family for the first time in your life and to be told you cannot go out and makes, it is tough for stu d e nts go out and makes, it is tough for students and that is why we say that testing is in places that we at least know that they get home safely for christmas. we also very much support universities and student unions were doing what they can to provide extra mental health support and also more socially isolated respectful but safe social activities for students on campus so that they do not have to mix and spread the infection to the wider community but they do get the i salute the vital social interaction thatis salute the vital social interaction that is safe to protect their

well—being. that is safe to protect their well-being. students may have in mind the statistics and knowledge that actually, their age group does fine. especially with covert. it is true that younger people that —— special with covid. there will be some students that have particular clinical vulnerabilities and it is the case that if they do mix with the case that if they do mix with the wider community then inevitably many will have two that there is the risk. some are living at home with theirfamilies risk. some are living at home with their families and there is the risk that they will spread the infection to other more vulnerable members of the community. i think the students are as responsible for anybody and they know that it is important that we do protect others around them but they do follow the instructions to isolate if they need to stop i do think they need the support to do so and not threats and not security guards standing at the door waving unreasonable rules at them but read

the support and help for their solskjaer emotional and learning needs so that they can be helped through a very difficult situation for them. it has emerged, this is separate but i suppose linked, it has emerged that bars in parliament are not subject to the 10pm curfew and that anybody going to them does not have to leave their contact details as is the case for everybody else in the country. what you think about that? i just could else in the country. what you think about that? ijust could not believe it when i heard this, it is ridiculous. of course we should have the same rules up applied in parliament. people will be horrified and rightly so that public health made measures apply in every setting. this has got to be changed immediately.

the new york times says it has obtained donald trump's tax records, which it says shows he paid just 750 dollars in income tax the year self—isolate or face a thousand pound fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for coronavirus. the majority of people have been following the rules but not everybody has which is why we have seen this increase. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak spreading. more anti—coronavirus measures come into force in madrid as the coronavirus tax increase. a bbc panorama investigation has found a catalogue of concerns from whistle—blowers inside the uk government's test and trace system. one says she spoke to just one

positive case in four months. the government says half a million people have been contacted, as lauren moss reports. today has been a total and utter waste of time. i've been unable to log in for the entire shift. alex is one of thousands of coronavirus tracers hired to work for the nhs test and trace system in england. she used to be employed by the bbc before changing careers to be a health care professional but was unable to work during the pandemic. in the four months since test and trace went live, alex spoke to only one person with coronavirus. my grey hairs that are turning up now have come from trying to deal with the system. test and trace was launched at the end of may with high expectations it would be a key component in the battle against the pandemic. we will have a test, track and trace operation that will be world beating. tracers like alex are tasked with contacting people who have tested positive for the virus to ask them to self—isolate and provide the details of people they've been in close contact with. start tracing...

but alex says it fell short of what she expected. ifeel quite ashamed to tell people that this is what i've been working on. how do i say to people i've been working on this for four months and i've spoken to one person in that time? i expected to be busy all the time but instead i was sat in my bedroom or i was sat in my living room, literally like a robot pressing a button hoping that a case was going to pop up. it is demoralising. latest figures show that just over one in five people who have tested positive still are not being reached. if you test positive... the government has set aside £12 billion for test and trace, an estimated 1 billion had been spent by the end ofjuly and there are questions about how it is being used. it is substantial sums of money going out of the door and we don't know exactly what it is achieving. they should never shy away from being open about how taxpayers' money is being spent because in the end we all have to pay this back. the department of health says the system is one of the largest in the world. it works with a wide range of

private and public sector partners. it says local authorities have been an integral part of its response throughout and that they have been receiving test, case and contact tracing data since 24th june. 500,000 people have been contacted and told to isolate. more information on how funding is spent will be published next summer. is it what i thought it would be? no. is it what i'd hoped it would be? no. alex has now left test and trace, but with thousands of new coronavirus cases every day the system will likely be more important than ever as we head into what is expected to be a difficult winter. lauren moss, bbc news. and viewers in the uk can watch " panorama: test and trace exposed" tonight on bbc one at 7.30. almost 200 health workers in venezuela have died of covid—19, since the pandemic began in march. the country has had at least 72,000 cases and more than 600 deaths. the bbc has been hearing from health workers across the country who say that they've had to work

without masks or gloves for weeks and are also afraid of dying of the virus at their place of work. and to complicate things, those who complain are being arrested or forced back to work. the bbc‘s vladimir hernandez reports. an intensive care unit in one of the poorest, but richest countries in the world. not everyone here is able to get a bed. those who do get when not necessarily get the treatment they need. this award is inside a hospital crumbling down. this is the reality for most of venezuela's public health care system. no running water, poor infrastructure, and staff lacking even the most basic kit to deal with the worst pandemic in a century. for health workers, complaining is not an option.

this man was arrested in front of his family and spent a whole day being questioned although he makes great efforts to say he was treated well. this nurse asked us not to reveal his name. he is afraid of being arrested. health workers here fear the security services and also dying at work. almost 200 of them are said to have died from covid—19 since the beginning of the pandemic according to numbers given to the bbc by medical associations.

health workers across venezuela have had to buy facemasks, visors and gloves out of their own pocket. this is a country with the highest deflation in the world and prices of ppe are prohibitive. a face mask can cost $1, a fortune for workers here. to try to earn a living, most health workers need a second income. this nurse comes here after a night shift to work the field. the vegetables he grows go to a nearby market to be sold. it is not much but it keeps the family afloat.

many health workers here not only have to survive the pandemic but also survive in a country where food is a luxury. the owner of australia's biggest theme park has been fined the equivalent of $2.5 million over the deaths of four people on the thunder river rapids ride in 2016. two women and two men died when rafts collided at dreamworld on queensland's gold coast. ardent leisure had pleaded guilty to three breaches of workplace health and safety laws. here's ardent‘s lawyer. i am here today to say that ardent apologises unreservedly for the past circumstances and failures of dreamworld that resulted in the tragic loss of four lives and for the ongoing impact that this terrible tragedy has had on so many people. on behalf of the ardent board

and the new dreamworld leadership team, i would also like to express our deepest sympathies to the families of roozi araghi, kate goodchild, luke dorsett and cindy low. with more on the story here's our correspondent in sydney, phil mercer. pretty heavy fines for ardent leisure. this is the parent company of dreamworld, the biggest theme park here in australia and one of the most famous. and this relates to a terrible accident on the thunder river rapids ride at dreamworld in october of 2016. four people, four adults were killed and it's often the case in these sorts of horrible events, these were witnessed by family members of some of the victims and we heard today from a teenager who saw her mother and two of her uncles killed. we also heard from a woman

called kim dorsett. she was the mother of two of the victims and she spoke of her post—traumatic stress that she struggles with every day, she told the court, since that terrible day four years ago and she said after southport magistrates' court today that she lived in a village of grief because of what happened to her two children in october of 2016. since the return of the football during the pandemic there has been a majorfocus on tackling racism in the sport. players, managers and officials have been telling the bbc about their experiences and what must be done to stamp out discrimination. miriam walker—khan reports. it takes away your innocence, definitely. you are seen as the threat, i guess. i think itjust angered me more than anything. you had to be thick—skinned, you had to get on with it. the people are different,

but the problem is the same: racism in football. what i can remember was kicking off, played the ball to beckham, it was all fine, played it back to ashley cole, and then it was like a ‘boo'. played across to sol. up to me — ‘boo'. and then back to scholsie — nothing. october 2002. in bratislava, slovakfans racially abused england's black players. emile heskey says it was some of the worst racist abuse of his career. when i went to a black player, it was booing, but when it went to a white player it was nothing. the actual booing was monkey chants. heskey had a long england career, from youth football through to world cups. as a teenager playing against ireland, he was spat at and called racial slurs, but never reported it, worried he would be deemed a troublemaker. we had no real voice in that sense of power, to do anything. so it was staying on the pitch, showing my skills and winning the game. since the start of the premier league nearly three decades ago, the number of bame players has increased, but there's still only

been nine non—white managers. as a player and manager, chris hughton has felt the effect of racism. all of these black and ethnic players in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, they would have gone through a playing career that they would have been subjected to racial comments, racial discrimination. and it's impossible for you not to think, ‘well, you know, do i want is a further career in this game?‘ and it's not only in the men's game. england international anita asa nte says as a black player, she's had to work twice as hard. you don't want any individual to feel they can't be 100% themselves. maybe on that particular day, in a training session, i am that very competitive person that comes across a little bit more, erm, feisty. but because there's an association with being a black woman and having that kind of energy and boldness, it's not always seen as a positive thing. i might refrain from

being that person. that's what i think is a sad thing. the global protests that followed george floyd's death challenged racism around the world, and footballers played their part. the new generation are pushing for change. among them, watford's andre grey. if us as players keep speaking up and being very vocal about it, that — it will always be in their minds now, and if anyone does get caught or does do it, then the repercussions will be stronger than they have been before. the problem remains, but by using their voices now, they hope the conversation will one day be over. miriam walker—khan, bbc news. the coronavirus pandemic has been particularly challenging for discount supermarkets like aldi and lidl, the uk head of aldi has admitted in an interview with the bbc. giles hurley acknowledged that his company had not benefited from the boom in online shopping in the way its rivals had — and added that aldi is now trialling

activities like a delivery service and click and collect. he also told our business correspondent emma simpson that there were growing signs of people beginning to mass purchase certain items — but said there was no danger yet of stocks running out. we have really good availability across all the products in our range. but we have definitely seen a bit of an uptick in demand for certain items, the likes of toilet paper, pasta, rice and tinned foods. but i have to say it is nothing in comparison to what the industry experienced in march. we haven't introduced any restrictions on products at the moment. we were the first supermarket to do that back in march, but that is something that we will continue to review day in, day out. i think the overriding message to customers should be that they should buy exactly what they need, when they need it, as they always do. you have missed out in this boom online grocery sales. the market's shifted dramatically.

so do you now have a problem because you don't do online? wel, look, you are right, it has been an extraordinary time for the supermarkets. i've never known anything like it. our business performance over the past six months has been very, very solid. we are growing according to data by about 10%. i think what we also recognise is that consumer habits are changing and that we need to evolve our business to meet those new demands and we are actively doing that. we have had a tie—up with deliveroo across 20 stores trialling rapid delivery of groceries to customers' homes. we have announced our first click—and—collect and store, which is a project i'm really excited about. what is aldi's game plan now? because some people have said aldi is losing momentum, aldi has peaked. well, we know that the most important thing for our customers is value for money.

and that's why we have made it our number one mission to keep our prices the lowest in britain. that is an unbreakable contract that we have with our customers. and such is our confidence in that, you know, i'm announcing today the investment of £1.3 billion in expanding our store network here. that means 100 new stores, 100 store upgrades, 4,000 newjobs this year, an additional 3,000 newjobs next year and investment in our logistics chain to support that store growth, our biggest ever investment in 30 years in the uk, i think, is very much testament to the confidence we have in the future here. sir david attenborough has given a new warning about his fears for the planet and how he's using social media to get his message across. last week he became the fastest person to reach a million followers on instagram. he's been talking to my colleague louise minchin, ahead of the release of his latest book and documentary.

it is difficult to teach a new dog —— old dog new tricks. i am not an expert at social media and i have not used instagram before. the message i am concerned about is so important. example of instagram and other social media is, you do have a chance to reach to add to a different audience? so many people get in touch with us with questions, and it seems that the younger generation, many of them are on board. how does that make you feel? that is the great hope. that is the most important place where there should be help. it is their world and there tomorrow. i won't be there. they will be. it is theirs. we are wasting our time. of course

it is important that young people should be concerned, and they are, in increasing numbers. ifeel privileged that they should listen to what an old bloke like me is talking about. said david also spoke about the impact of lockdown and what it is like for him. in in six months i have hardly moved out of this house. i have hardly changed my transport behaviour very much. but we are doing so. i'm not flying away too many places. how would you describe lockdown life? too many places. how would you describe lockdown life ?” too many places. how would you describe lockdown life? i think of when i was newly married with a couple of kids in a flat with just two rooms and no garden and think what it would be like with the

thought of oncoming autumn and winter, having already been locked away for six months. that seems to mea away for six months. that seems to me a pretty tough number. i know it is inevitable and has to happen. many people are having a much worse time than! many people are having a much worse time than i am. i am lucky, i have a garden, house. we are surviving, my daughter and i are surviving very well. it is going to be very, very rough for people. but one does miss seeing people and talking to people and having one's friends around, and walking around and seeing other people. thousands of residents have been forced to flee as firefighters in california battle a new blaze known as the "glass fire", which broke out in napa county at the weekend. extreme conditions are making it hard to bring the flames under control. tanya dendrinos has more.

attack from above. this is the opportunity to build containment lines from the air. california, has rapidly burned more than 1,800 acres. its dangerous rate of spread thanks to gusty winds, low humidity and sweltering temperatures, forcing evacuation orders to be issued. these are the extreme conditions we were worried about developing this weekend. and all signs are that we could see even hotter temperatures and, unfortunately, more air pollution problems, as these new fires erupt. crews will continue to battle against critical fire conditions throughout monday. no reprieve in what's already been a relentless season, rewriting the record books. five of the six largest fires in california's history all have occurred in 2020, and you notice that most of these have actually occurred in just the last four weeks, here in california.

many, including californian governor, gavin newsom, argue it's evidence not only of climate change but a climate emergency. tanya dendrinos, bbc news. let's share with you some more pictures from the napa valley fire filmed using a time—lapse camera. you can see a huge amount of smoke, as the flames seem to burn out of control. the footage also gives an idea of how dry the conditions are — and the strength of the winds which are encouraging the fires to spread. seven years ago, jason liversidge was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, but since then he's set himself a number of extreme challenges, from climbing the highest mountain in wales to abseiling off the humber bridge — all one hundred and 55m of it. this weekend he set a guinness world record for driving an electric wheelchair at more than 66 miles per hour. graham satchell has more.

elvington airfield, yorkshire. jason liversidge is getting ready for a world record attempt to be the fastest ever in an electric wheelchair. i am feeling really excited forjason. i'm feeling a little bit apprehensive, but i'm absolutely certain he can do it. jason has motor neurone disease. he can no longer walk or talk — but has just enough movement in his left hand to control this specially adapted wheelchair. a test run. the current world record is 62 mph. jason gets to just over 50. there's no stopping him, really, you know, if you said to jason you can't do something because that's impossible for someone in jason's condition, he'd find a way round. we've followed jason's journey from a number of years on this programme.

from recording his own voice... this is the first time with my new voice. that is really good. that is. to abseiling from the humber bridge... ..to climbing snowden, the highest mountain in wales. jason has set himself these extraordinary challenges to create memories for his two girls, lily and poppy and to raise money for charity. we still have hope that one day there might be a cure. and, as you know, jason has raised a lot of money for charity and he is now raising money for the motor neurone disease association with his latest challenge. i can see what it means to jason. what does it mean to you as a family, liz? i think we are alljust incredibly proud of jason. just because you have a terminal illness, that is not the end of your life.

you can still go on and achieve your goals. back at the airfield the final checks are done and it jason is on his way. when they announced he got 66 miles an hour it was just amazing. elated and jumping up and down and screaming. oh, my god! the top speed confirmed at 66.82 mph, the new world record. my ultimate goal was to do it for my girls, lily and poppy. for them to have a certificate of my achievement, along with the other memories we have created. it's so much to share it with my girls. i thought it was really awesome. what you think of your dad? i think it's really amazing that he made the record. jason is a world record holder and he's planning more challenges in the months ahead.

graham satchell, bbc news. here in the uk, uber has won its legal bid to keep operating in london, despite concerns about passenger safety. the transport app initially had its application for a new london however westminster magistrates court has ruled they should be granted a new licence. tfl said a glitch in the app was allowing unauthorised drivers to create accounts and pick up passengers. uber has 115,000 drivers and 3.5 million customers in the captial — making it the company's biggest market in europe. fans of american football will probably know the namejoe montana — the legendary former quarterback of the san francisco 49ers. but he's in the headlines today for his sporting prowess — but for foiling an attempt to kidnap his grandchild. the la county sheriff's

department said joe and his wife confronted a woman who entered their home and grabbed the child from a playpen. officials said they retrieved the child after a tussle. the attacker fled — and a woman was later arrested. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. after what was a decidedly cool weekend and a rather chilly start for some of us this morning, things are turning mild. it is turning cloudierfrom the are turning mild. it is turning cloudier from the west with some outbreaks of rain. this area of low pressure drove the cold northerly winds that many of us had to deal with over the weekend. this will turn things a bit milder. some clouds rolling in as well and that clouds rolling in as well and that cloud producing some outbreaks of rain as it limps its way eastwards across scotland, wales, north—west

england. brightening up for east anglia and the south east after a cloudy start. we will also see sunshine returning to northern ireland. it would be quite windy across the northern half of the uk. a band of planned and increasingly patchy rain. it will get stuck for a while across east anglia and the north—east. quite a chilly night for scotla nd north—east. quite a chilly night for scotland and northern ireland. some spots in the country down to two or three celsius. patchy rain will lingerfor three celsius. patchy rain will linger for a three celsius. patchy rain will lingerfor a time across three celsius. patchy rain will linger for a time across east england. generally speaking, tomorrow will be dry with one or two showers here and there. temperatures will get up to between 13 and 19 celsius. cloud and rain are starting to gather. that will make for an u nsettled to gather. that will make for an unsettled midweek period as this area of low pressure settles in.

some brisk winds as well with gusts up some brisk winds as well with gusts up to 45 mph to 50 mph. some of the rain will be heavy with temperatures between 13 and 18 celsius. as we head towards the end of the week, the unsettled theme continues. if anything, it could turn up more u nsettled. anything, it could turn up more unsettled. low pressure likely to deepenin unsettled. low pressure likely to deepen in the south of the uk. as we head towards the end of the week and the weekend, there is potentialfor very wet and very windy weather. it will start to feel rather cool again.

this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump paid no tax at all in ten of the 15 years before he took office, according to tax records which the new york times says its obtained. self—isolate or face a thousand pound fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for covid—19. the majority of people have been following the rules. we know that, unfortunately, not everybody has, and that's why, in many reasons, we have seen this increase in the rates again. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a covid—19 outbreak spreading. tackling racism in football — we have a special report on how football is dealing with the problem during the pandemic.

new laws come in across england this morning, which mean that anyone who tests positive for coronavirus — or has been told they've been in contact with someone who has — now has a legal duty to stay at home, or face a fine. the government says the police will act on "local intelligence" to check up on those who fail to comply. under the new rules — anyone required to self—isolate, who doesn't, will be fined £1,000, rising to a maximum fine of £10,000 for repeat offenders or serious breaches. the government hopes the measures will reduce the spread of covid—19. around four million people on low incomes who can't work, and are losing income whilst self—isolating, will be eligible for a £500 payment. it comes as three more counties

in wales, neath port talbot, torfaen and vale of glamorgan, will have extra restrictions imposed later. that means nearly two thirds of the country's population will be under lockdown, as tomos morgan reports. from today, people across england will be required by law to self—isolate if they test positive or are contacted by nhs test and trace. there are also further restrictions on the number of wedding guests allowed — only 15 people will be able to attend a marriage ceremony for the foreseeable. across the border in wales, though, the number of wedding guests remains at 30 for now, but further measures come into force here in other aspects of life. cardiff has become the first uk nation capital to go back under lockdown measures. residents in swansea will also have extra measures placed upon them, extended households or ‘bubbles' will be stopped, meaning mixing with people from other households indoors will have to end for now, but up to 30 can meet outside at a social distance. nobody will be able to leave the two city areas without a valid reason, such as going to a place of work

where working from home isn't possible, going to school or for caring responsibilities. the first minister, mark drakeford, has also said that another three local authorities will be placed under local lockdown measures from this evening. figures have continued to deteriorate in those three areas over the weekend. we signalled on friday that we were keeping them under very close scrutiny. and the advice we have had is that now is the moment we need to act and local restrictions will apply in those three areas — torfaen, the vale of glamorgan and neath port talbot county borough councils. from this evening, 1.8 million people, more than half of the population of wales, will be living under local lockdown restrictions. and with cases continuing to rise across the country, the prospect of another wales—wide lockdown becomes more of a realistic possibility. the care minister helen whately says nobody wants to see tighter restrictions but it's necessary

to tackle rising infections. the majority of people have been following the rules. we know that, unfortunately, not everybody has, and that is why, in many reasons, that we have seen this increase in the rates again. that's why we have made it really clear, it's really simple, whether it's a rule of six or, you know, if you have symptoms, get tested. if you test positive, isolate, if you are contacted by test and trace, you need to self—isolate. this is really clear. it's thought around 3,000 students in the uk are currently in lockdown at universities from dundee to exeter. but two have been badly affected. at the university of glasgow, 172 students have tested positive, and 600 are isolating. at manchester metropolitan university, all first year and foundation students will be taught exclusively online for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak from spreading. 1,700 freshers are self—isolating in halls of residence there, after 127 tested positive. labour has called on ministers to consider pausing the return of students whose terms are yet to start.

john mcmanus has the latest. spelling it out. the message from fee—paying students in manchester is clear. as the academic year begins, thousands of them around the uk have been sold to self—isolate. it's an unwelcome start for those who'd been dreaming of living independently, away from home. manchester metropolitan university says it's helping with essentials like shopping, laundry access and medicines, but parents have also been on—hand. and it's announced that all lessons for first—year students will be online—only for next fortnight. it's a similar story in glasgow, where scottish students have been advised not to travel home. and if they must, not to stay overnight. for all new arrivals, like these at newcastle, this year's freshers' week will be different. i am moving in with nine other people in my flat, we'rejoining a bubble and hopefully that's going to keep us safe.

i am excited, but quite nervous because you don't really know what to expect. erm, but i'm just going to make the most of it. university authorities say they need to keep students and staff are safe, but there are some calls for a refund of accommodation fees. it's a terrible mess and nobody wanted this, and it's heartbreaking all round. and of course, if the students can't have their lived—in experience and have to go home, of course it is right that their accommodation fees should be refunded to them. last week the health secretary, matt hancock, refused to confirm that students would be allowed to go home at christmas. for one mother who has just dropped her daughter in durham, that's a worry. i'd like her home at christmas. and i hope that the position we'll get to, because that's ten weeks away, is that i'd like to think that by the time they've gone through this and maybe there has been some local infections and lockdowns, etc, that in ten weeks' time they might be in a position to let them come home.

that's what i hope. banned from the student union bar, some new arrivals have managed to see the funny side. but if the restrictions on young adults continue into the autumn term, the mood may turn rebellious. john mcmanus, bbc news. lord willetts is a conservative peer and a former universities minister, he is now the president of the independent research institute focusing on people on lower incomes, the resolution foundation. so, term has barely even begun, and already lock downs have begun. what do you think university should be doing in terms of supporting students? they clearly do need to do everything possible, it's a very distressing time for students. if they find themselves with an outbreak of the virus, helping with accommodation is very important, making sure they get food and services they need, delivering

education online, but also maintaining proper social distancing so it is still possible for students and lab —based subjects to get into the labs and even for students in other disciplines to have some face—to—face teaching in seminars and tutorials for, so it is not all online. if students are in a situation where they are facing online study, and where they are already on lough dan, should they get a rebate on fees? it's a lot of money for students. this isn't money the students pay, its money provided by the taxpayer, by the government... will students get the loa ns government... will students get the loans that they have to pay back? indeed, it will be graduates, and ten yea rs indeed, it will be graduates, and ten years time, as graduates, there will be paying back if they have higher earnings, but i think the focus is on cash and services that stu d e nts focus is on cash and services that students need now, so if they need

help with their rent, there needs to be use of all the discretionary hardship funds that universities have which universities might need to put money in to help students today with any costs that they face. that, i think, today with any costs that they face. that, ithink, should be today with any costs that they face. that, i think, should be the focus, not how much they repaid their loa ns, not how much they repaid their loans, we hope when they get well paid jobs. explain what you mean about help with rent, because if the stu d e nts about help with rent, because if the students already signed up to paying a certain amount of rent, whatever happens with covid—19, it's not going to increase their costs, but are you saying there should be rebates that they are in lockdown? indeed, that's the kind of care with which universities should be able to help. it's hardship payments. there may have been some students from less afflu e nt may have been some students from less affluent families who may, for example, have been planning to do some part—time work a long time the study, and they have got a loss of

income. those of the kind of issues in the here and now, pressures that stu d e nts in the here and now, pressures that students are facing which i very much hope universities will be able to help them with. ijust much hope universities will be able to help them with. i just wanted to talk more broadly about the impact of what we are going to see unfolding through this winter, because your organisation looks at people on low incomes in particular, andi people on low incomes in particular, and i wonder, i know there is support out there for people who have to save isolate who will face financial difficulties through that, but do you think there will be a concern that the strong new penalties that are coming through for people with positive tests to self—isolate, and the knock and impact of that, could lead to people deciding that they may not want to ta ke deciding that they may not want to take the test and run the risk of what those from it? yes, there is a risk to people on low incomes who

would not be able to work fear they would not be able to work fear they would not be able to afford the consequences if they took a test and refine to have a problem or up were at risk, so we do need to ensure that there is properfinancial support for people on low incomes so they are willing to isolate and do not face a high personal financial cost for that. do you think the £500 the government is offering is enough to do that? well, we will have to see. that may not be sufficient for people in certain circumstances, but it isa people in certain circumstances, but it is a start, that at least has come, but maybe there will be need to be more help in future. what impact you think covid—19 will have on social mobility? the tragedy is that this is a virus where the economic impact is falling most heavily on young people, and they are losing the opportunity for education of the past few months,

one of the reasons why i think it was right to try to get students into university this autumn is that we are trying to get young people educated again, but then there is a real risk thejobs educated again, but then there is a real risk the jobs are not there which young people want, so they need extra financial support, and i think we will need to see, also, we have proposed this, extra options for training and education and work preparedness so that when the labour market does recover, young people are able to take those opportunities again. i want to get a thought from you on the bars in parliament, because it has emerged that they can carry on serving as the ten o'clock, which is obviously very different from what is happening the rest of the country. would you think about that? i have to say, with social distancing, i've only been in the lords very occasionally in the last six months, and it's a very long time since i've been in a bar in parliament. i don't know, but i

think, in general, we in parliament need to follow the same rules of the rest of the country. that's what people expect. so, you think it should change? i must say i was not aware this was even an issue, but in general we in parliament should follow the same rules as the rest of the country. donald trump has hit back at a newspaper report claiming he paid just $750 — that's about £590 — in income tax in the year he became president. the new york times also says he paid no income tax in 10 of the past 15 years; it says that's ‘largely because he reported losing much more money than he made'. he is the first president since the 19705 not to make his tax returns public, though this is not required by law. at a press conference mr trump dismissed the report as "fake news". here in the uk, uber has won its legal bid to keep operating in london, despite concerns about passenger safety. the transport app initially had its application for a new london licence rejected by tfl in november last year —

however westminster magistrates' court has ruled they should be granted a new licence. you're watching bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: self—isolate or face a one thousand pound fine — new laws come into force in england for anyone testing positive for coronavirus. all first year and foundation students at manchester metropolitan university in england will be taught online only for the next two weeks, to try to stop a coronavirus outbreak spreading. the new york times says it has obtained donald trump's tax records, which it says shows he paid just 750 dollars in income tax the year he ran for president. a series of measures designed to contain the coronavirus are due to be extended around the spanish capital, madrid, today. an additional one million people in the city and its surrounding areas will see their movements restricted.

bars and restaurants will also have to close early. the leftwing national government has argued for a more stringent lockdown on the capital, putting it at odds with madrid's local conservative authorities. britain's cabinet office minister michael gove is heading to brussels today, as brexit negotiations between the uk and the eu continue. the two sides are attempting to agree a trade deal post—brexit, but sticking points remain over fishing rights and business subsidies. last week the uk said a lot of work remains to agree a way forward, while the eu say they are determined to reach a deal. a federaljudge in washington has blocked president trump's ban on downloading the chinese—owned video—sharing app tiktok. the reasons for the temporary injunction have not been made public. the white house has previously called the app a national security threat, alleging that its chinese parent firm is tied to the beijing government.

the national football league structure is ‘at risk of collapse' — the government has been warned. a group of prominent figures from the football world — including the former fa chaiman — have written a letter urging ministers to help with a coronavirus rescue package. they say many clubs are preparing to cease playing and go into administration. the culture secretary, oliver downden, said he was ‘hopeful‘ that the premier league would help lower league—clubs later this week. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon is giving a briefing on the latest measures to tackle coronavirus there. the total number of positive cases reported yesterday was 222. that represents 6.9% of people newly tested, and takes the total number of cases to over 20,000. the full breakdown will be available later, but of these cases, 54 were in lothian, some in glasgow and

lanarkshire, i do want to immediately add a note of caution around these figures, as you will have spotted, 222 as the lowest number of new cases we have seen for some time, and to be frank, this is a lower number than we would have expected to see today. it is likely to bea expected to see today. it is likely to be a weekend effect, indeed, reported cases as reported on monday are reported cases as reported on monday a re often lower reported cases as reported on monday are often lower than on other days, but to be sure, i have asked this to to be checked whether there are any other factors on the figure. i can report that there is an increase of 17 people in hospitalfrom yesterday, and for more than yesterday, and for more than yesterday in intensive care. i want to draw attention to these hospital andi to draw attention to these hospital and i see you figures, because i still occasionally hear some people say that the rise in cases we have seenin say that the rise in cases we have seen in recent weeks is nothing to worry about, because the number of

people in hospital is not rising steeply, and i certainly concede that it steeply, and i certainly concede thatitis steeply, and i certainly concede that it is not as high at this stage as it was earlier in the year, and long may that continue. we don't wa nt to long may that continue. we don't want to see it go back to those levels, but the number of people in hospital is rising, and nobody should be any delay or under any illusion as to that. on the day we this that it the definition we reported 48 people in hospital. today, two weeks later, the numbers hundred and 22, is you can see the rises taken place. back then, on the 15th of september, six people were nicu, and the number today is 16. i don't say this to allow more worry people unduly, but i do say it too, i hope, make everybody realised that we have to take this rise in cases seriously and do all of the things that are being asked of all of us to

try to stem that rides and bring covid back under control, because justus only the —— just as was the case earlier this year, none of us wa nt to case earlier this year, none of us want to see more lives lost. i can confirm no debts were registered to —— deaths were registered of patients, but we would not have expected to see them registered yesterday. two additional deaths have been registered since friday, and a total number under our daily measurement is now 2512. again, that total serves as a reminder of the impacts it can have, and i wish to pass on my condolences to everybody who has suffered a bereavement. updating today the guidance we

issued for students, but before i do that, i want to say a big thank you. it's clear the vast majority of university students over the weekend stuck to the rules are not meeting other households indoors, and in addition to that followed the advice on staying away from pubs and cafes and on staying away from pubs and cafes a nd restau ra nts on staying away from pubs and cafes and restaurants of the weekend. sticking to guidelines like that is not easy, especially in the early days of university term, but it will make a difference. the incubation period for this virus means i am absolutely sure that we will continue to see increased numbers of infections amongst students for several days to come, and there will a lwa ys several days to come, and there will always be a need for vigilance, but responsibility that has been shown of the past few days will help our effo rts of the past few days will help our efforts to stem the spread, i want to say thank you for that. yesterday, as i indicated on friday that we would, we published new guidance to students who might be thinking about returning home from

student accommodation. that guidance has been developed in consultation with the national union of students in scotland, university scotland and others, and offers some advice as to how the rule should be applied in three different scenarios. if the student wishes to return home for a short visit, secondly if they want to return home while self isolating, or if they might want to return home ona or if they might want to return home on a more permanent basis. the stu d e nts on a more permanent basis. the students who wish to return home for a short visit, perhaps for a weekend, the key thing to remember is that you have formed a new household within your student accommodation, you cannot stay overnight within the household. that includes your parents time, but that applies to all of us at the moment, not just students. like applies to all of us at the moment, notjust students. like the rest of us, you can only meet your parents

or carers or otherfamily us, you can only meet your parents or carers or other family members us, you can only meet your parents or carers or otherfamily members or friends outdoors or in a public indoor space such as a cafe. they should be no more than six people in total in the group from no more than two households. the only exception is for childcare and tour in general, a rulejust now for all of us is that we should not meet other households indoors. i know these rules are tough, and they are tougher everybody, not to students, but they are necessary to reduce the risk of the virus spreading between different households. the guidance also provides advice for students who are required to self—isolate, and wherever possible, students who are self isolating should stay within their student accommodation. that is the best way to stop the virus spreading, and the advice we

give. if you require support, please first of contact your college, university of accommodation provider, because they have a responsibility to help you. further information can be found on the student information scotland website. we recognise that even with support in place some students will feel the need to help and care of a friend orfamily feel the need to help and care of a friend or family member. feel the need to help and care of a friend orfamily member. that might be for reasons relating to physical or mental health or finances, and be for reasons relating to physical or mental health orfinances, and if thatis or mental health orfinances, and if that is the case, then you can move to another household to complete yourself isolation period, but i would caution that this is not a decision to be taken lightly. if you decide you absolutely have to move to yourfamily decide you absolutely have to move to your family home to self—isolate, you should avoid using public transport and, crucially, the other members of your new household, your mum, dad, brothers, sisters of all ages, will have to self—isolate for 14 days from the time you arrive

home, because we cannot afford to have the virus spread throughout the country, so it is important you think about the impact of returning home to self—isolate. i know these are home to self—isolate. i know these a re really home to self—isolate. i know these are really difficult choices, just like those all of us face every day and this pandemic. self isolation is not easy in any circumstances, and i know it can be especially difficult sometimes in student accommodation. asi sometimes in student accommodation. as i made clear, therefore, i default advice is that students should stay in their accommodation while self isolating if at all possible, but for students who need to move to another household, i hope this guidance provides some additional clarity on how this can be managed as safely as possible. the final set of circumstances covered by the guidance is for people who want to return home in the longer term basis. in other words, people who want to stop living in their student accommodation i moved permanently back to their parents home or to some other household. if you are

currently doing this and other given self isolating, then the rules i just spoke about regarding self isolating will apply to you and other members of your household. do you need to think about how it affects access to your college learning, and you will need to speak about how you will get your learning, and how this will effect your long—term decision. many stu d e nts your long—term decision. many students are already concerned about christmas, so don't assume that the rules in place now for home visits will still apply over christmas. we review the rules every three weeks, and that is why we cannot provide specific guidance for christmas right now, because that will depend on the future course of the pandemic, but i want to be very clear that it is absolutely our

priority to make sure students are able to return home for christmas, asi able to return home for christmas, as i know everybody will want to do. overall, as i mentioned, this guidance is being developed in consultation with student representatives, and in very difficult circumstances it is trying to strike a balance. we want stu d e nts to to strike a balance. we want students to be living in the current accommodation where possible, we believe, for many students, that gives them the best chance over the course of the term for benefiting, and providing the opportunity within these restrictions for building a network and new friends. we are so many students will be struggling at the moment, it is tough not to be able to see your family at home at a time like this, so the advice tries to explain the circumstances in which there is some flexibility, and what factors we are advising you ta ke what factors we are advising you take into account before taking

these decisions. the guidance is available on the scottish government's website if you want to look at it in more detail, i would encourage you to do so, but it helps stu d e nts encourage you to do so, but it helps students make choices that best reflect their own health and well—being. finally, on this point, well—being. finally, on this point, we will continue to update and develop guidance on all aspects of the pandemic where we think that is possible and responsible. this is an inherently volatile and unpredictable situation, so, in my view, government should we try to be flexible and learn from experience rather than get stuck in fixed positions for fear of changing our position. we will continue to look carefully at guidance, built in as much flexibility as we can as we go through this difficult situation, and make changes for that is possible. finally, iwant and make changes for that is possible. finally, i want to stress again that reports heard of the we can suggest that the vast majority of stu d e nts can suggest that the vast majority of students have coped well and really difficult circumstances and

have complied with guidance which would have seemed a unimaginable, andi would have seemed a unimaginable, and i am grateful to students for the way they are helping in efforts to tackle covid. as well as thanking those students who have stayed in this we can, i want, before i conclude today, to thank all those who respected the new rules on hospitality. i know the police will be publishing some figures on their activities over the weekend was over the course of today, but there were relatively few reports of any public health to public order difficulties around and the new 10pm curfew time, and we have seen hospitality providers across the country, sticking to these rules will be crucial, so i want to end with a

thank you to everyone with the thank you, but also run through the rule. when we do meet other household outdoors or indoor public places, we should stick to groups of a maximum of six people from a maximum of two households. young people aged 12 to 17 are exempt from the two household limit. as long as there are those they can wreak up in groups of up to six, but should still physically distant, and children up to 12 are not included in this at all, they can play with their friends outdoors. all of us can help reduce the spread of the virus by limiting our visit to and social interactions in places like pubs and restaurants. we should work from home if we possibly can, and employers should facilitate that where possible. we should all download the protect scotla nd should all download the protect scotland at if we can, and finally

we should all remember and abide by fa cts . we should all remember and abide by facts. that's face coverings in enclosed spaces, avoid... keep her distance from people in households, and self isolating book a test for covid or covid if you display any of the symptoms. we will, over the next few weeks, if you follow these, stem the transmission, which will allows greater freedoms in the not—too—distant greater freedoms in the not—too—dista nt future. greater freedoms in the not—too—distant future. my thanks again to everybody for all of the sacrifices i know you continue to make. today i want to speak a little bit about mental health and well—being support that is available. we know that the introduction of new

restrictions is tough but shows that the road to recovery from this virus will not be straightforward as we all hoped. the one thing that has been consistent over the past six months is the fundamental importance of how we all feel. keeping healthy has not been easy at times and that applies to both physical and mental well—being. during applies to both physical and mental well— being. during the applies to both physical and mental well—being. during the pandemic, we have seen a renewed focus on mental health throughout scotland. this has been really tough for lots of us. that is meant there have been more conversations about mental health and well— being. people across conversations about mental health and well—being. people across the country have been asking each other how they are feeling? i hope that all of this means that more of us know it is ok to ask for help if we need it. so i wanted to mention some of the sources of support that are accessible just now. earlier this year, we launched the clear your head campaign to support you to take ca re of head campaign to support you to take care of your mental health and well—being. care of your mental health and well— being. you can care of your mental health and well—being. you can find it online. i would urge anybody who feels the

need of some useful tips to visit the website. we are expanding the nhs 24 mental health hub, so it is now available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. you can reach the hub by dialling 111. we also have expanded the capacity of the breathing space telephone helpline and web support service. it's a service which we know has very instant and increase in demand during the pandemic. you can access it by dialling... it is worth saying that these are sources of support are available for everyone, including students as well, they should need them. today, i also wanted to specifically say something about mental health and well—being support groups that we find about it in our communities. we are leaving the briefing in scotland. let's go to cardiff where the minister for economy, transport and north wales — ken skates — is giving an update on the latest

coronavirus measures. iam i am proud of what we have done to support our businesses. we have worked incredibly hard to respond to wales's unique needs, to add value to the uk government's furlough scheme and self employment support scheme, to make sure that companies don't fall through the gaps by offering the best, most generous, most comprehensive package of support to businesses anywhere in the united kingdom. our direct action has saved businesses and jobs right across wales. in fact, we have secured more than 100,000 jobs through the first two phases of the economic resilience fund, between the welsh government, direct support and assistance from the development bank of wales. we have come to the age of more than 14,000 businesses. the vast majority being micro, small and medium—sized. with the fantastic assistance of our local authority

partners, we have also made more than 64,000 awards to firms through the business rates system, providing almost £770 million of support. and of course, we are supporting business start—ups. 1600 of them, with grants worth £4 million, so businesses of tomorrow have a bridge beyond covid. i am proud that we are also going further to protect businesses from eviction by extending the moratorium until the end of this year. and, we have set aside an extra £40 million for skills support and an ounce, of course, a £7 million scheme to help freelancers in the creative industries. now, we can't save every business and everyjob. to do so would require the sort of financial firepower that only the uk government possesses in its armoury. but we have stood steadfast, with firms and individuals throughout this pandemic and we have done everything in our power to ensure

that a good business in 2019 will be a good business in 2021. now it is time to look ahead. to the future, to the next phase of our recovery bridge. we pressed the uk government over many months to continue the furlough scheme and that message has only grown and intensified over the last few weeks, as a rising number of cases and areas in local lockdown has made one thing very clear. this coming winter has been —— will be difficult for all of us. i'm pleased that last week the chancellor listened to our goals and today, i would like to set out the work we will do, once again, to put politics to one side. to work in the national interest and put in place an additional package of support here in wales that compliments thejobs support scheme announced by the uk government chancellor just last week and once again, to give our businesses the best package of

support anywhere in the uk. so today, i'm announcing a further £140 million to support businesses in wales. up to £60 million of that funding will be used to support a new local lockdown fund, to help businesses and individuals in those areas experiencing local restrictions. today, we have nine local authority areas under restrictions. by midnight, that number will have increased to 12. it is likely that over the next few weeks and months we will see a rolling programme of restrictions to help us respond to local increases in cases. we need to be dynamic in our approach to responding to coronavirus. none of us would wish to see a national lockdown if we can avoid it. but we know that businesses in containment areas will need extra help. so grants serve £1500 will be available to retail,

leisure and hospitality businesses at the rateable value of between... that have seen a material impact on their businesses as a result of local restrictions. grants of £1000 will be available to small businesses with a rateable value of £12,000 or less and can demonstrate a material impact on their business. 596 a material impact on their business. 5% of this funding will be made available to local authorities to support businesses materially impacted by local lockdown, but not registered to pay business rates, knobby discretionary grants of up to 1000... i will be making more detail on the qualifying criteria for businesses in the coming days. the second major plank of the support package will be £80 million to help businesses prepare for the post

covid economy. this is an important and necessary change. the first two phases of the economic resilience fund was shaped in the initial phases of the crisis, when the virus was new and when we were all experiencing the shock and awe of the first wave of the impact of a national lockdown. the economic resilience fund provided the cover for firms to hibernate through the lockdown and help them adjust. but the third phase of the economic resilience fund will take a different form. it will be designed to support businesses with projects that can help them transition to the new normal. to the economy of tomorrow. it will be more than just getting through, it is about the potential to thrive in the future, not just survive potential to thrive in the future, notjust survive in the present. it will require investment from companies and a clear adjustment plan for a post—thing—mack economy. g ra nts plan for a post—thing—mack economy. grants of that employ up to nine people for

projects. on the condition that they match this with their own investment of at least 10%. grants of £150,000 will be available for small and medium—sized businesses, with. .. will be available for small and medium—sized businesses, with... and 20% required for medium—sized businesses. grants of up to £200,000 will be available for larger businesses employing more than 250 people with 50% match funding required. i'm pleased to say that all recipients of these grants will be required to sign up to the principles of the economic contract in order to ensure that we do truly build back better. some sectors have faced particular challenge, including, of course, tourism and hospitality businesses, many of which are recorded zero or close to zero income since march. so, of the £80 million, £20 million will be ring fenced to support tourism and hospitality businesses as they enter

the winter months, to give them a pathway through to spring 2021. we hope to launch the triage system for the new grants that i announce today in the first week of october, with applications open before the end of the month, allowing time for applications to be developed with first payments made as soon as possible afterwards. this £140 million will no doubt make a difference between business survival and business death for thousands of enterprises. it will also make the difference between employment and unemployment for thousands more workers. but nobody should be under any illusions about the scale of the challenges ahead of us and that's why, as a welsh government, we remain totally committed to working with our partners in taking the necessary public health and economic support measures to tackle the virus and to help our economy through this coming winter months. i am now happy

to ta ke coming winter months. i am now happy to take questions. today, i will begin with dan davis from bbc wales. uk government is reportedly considering stricter restrictions on hotspot areas that go currently further than the restrictions we have already seen. if the case numbers continue to rise in parts of south wales where you have imposed restrictions, does the welsh government have a plan about what to do next? well, we work with all public bodies and we responded to calls from them when asked for additional powers in order to ensure that people comply with restrictions that people comply with restrictions that we work with police forces, local authorities and we will consider whatever measures are necessary in order to ensure public safety of the population is of paramount importance to us and we make sure that we also contain this infection in the coming months. we

have seen sometimes quite distressing accounts from students in quarantine around the uk. if there are students due to come to wales this week who are worried about their education and about their welfare, what's your message to them? dan, public health has a lwa ys to them? dan, public health has always and will always be our most important priority as we tackle this pandemic. the welfare of individuals, particularly vulnerable people like the elderly and young people, is of vital importance. the education minister will be delivering a press conference later this week, where i'm sure she will be discussing and answering questions about the welfare of students, but i can say this. the last thing that we would wish for is for students to be facing their predicament of having to stay in university halls of residence over the christmas period, having to face

ongoing uncertainty and anxiety because of the pandemic and we are working incredibly closely with welsh higher education institutions, with unions, with a workforce of universities and with student bodies, to ensure that we respond to the needs of young people and universities and indeed in other education settings. i will now move to adrian masters from itv wales. what's your advice to businesses that have to deal with people face—to—face? i'm not just that have to deal with people face—to—face? i'm notjust talking about in the hospitality industry but organisations and businesses like car dealerships.” but organisations and businesses like car dealerships. i would like to say this, actually, because i met with the wales retail consortium last week and there is concern expressed about some... from the public about how they engage with a workforce within shops. nobody entering a business premises should be aggressive in any way. people should comply with the rules. the

rules are in place to protect public health. they are in place to ensure that we get over coronavirus as soon as we possibly can. please, follow the rules, follow the guidance to keep loved ones and anyone you keep in contact with say. wash hands regularly, keep distance, where a face covering if you are in confined area. it is for everybody to act responsibly, to take action, so that we ove rco m e responsibly, to take action, so that we overcome the economic and health impacts of this pandemic. that is ken skates, the minister for economy, transport and north wales talking through the latest covid—19 measures from the government and the big announcement there was a new £140 million fund for economic resilience with £60 million of that being used to support businesses affected by the lockdown measures

that are currently in place and will be coming into place as the weeks and months go ahead. but the larger pa rt and months go ahead. but the larger part of the fund, £80 million, is to give grants to companies to help them transform, to change and adapt, to thrive, he said, in the new post coronavirus economy. so some big gra nts coronavirus economy. so some big grants on offer on that front. they will need to be some matching of investment from the companies that ta ke investment from the companies that take the grants but he said that those two aspects of financial help will save jobs those two aspects of financial help will savejobs and those two aspects of financial help will save jobs and save companies. democrats in the united states have strongly condemned donald trump's tax arrangements after the new york times reported the president paid no tax at all in ten of the 15 years before he took office. the newspaper says mr trump paid just $750 dollars in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017. it obtained tax records for him and his companies going back two decades. mr trump has dismissed the report as "fake news".

peter bowes reports. once again, donald trump and his tax returns, the story that's dogged the president ever since he announced he was running for office, and long before, as a businessman. now, the new york times says it has obtained tax return data for mr trump dating back more than two decades, along with the hundreds of companies that make up his business organisation, and detailed information from his first two years in the white house. the paper says the data shows his finances are under stress, beset by losses, with struggling properties and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. it reports that mr trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in the year he won the presidency, and another $750 during his first year in office. he paid no income tax at all in ten of the previous 15 years, according to the paper. this, it says, was largely because he reported losing much

more money than he made. the new york times say the records reveal the hollowness but also the wizardry behind the self—made billionaire image. flouting presidential tradition, mr trump has long refused to make his tax affairs public. he's always insisted his returns were the subject of an audit by the us tax authorities, preventing him from releasing details. speaking at a news conference at the white house, he was quick to deny the latest story. it's fake news. it's totally fake news, made—up, fake. we went through the same stories — you could've asked me the same questions... four years ago i had to litigate this and talk about it. er, totally fake news, no. actually, i paid tax, but... and you'll see that as soon as my tax returns are... it's under audit. they've been under audit for a long time. a lawyer for the trump organisation said the new york times story was "riddled with gross inaccuracies", and questioned the timing, saying it was part of an ongoing smear campaign

in the run—up to the election. it follows mr trump's controversial nomination of a conservative judge to sit on the us supreme court. it also marks the start of a pivotal week in the campaign, when the president and joe biden will finally go head—to—head on tv. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. a bbc panorama investigation has found a catalogue of concerns from whistle—blowers inside the uk government's test and trace system. one says she spoke to just one positive case in four months. the government says half—a—million people have been contacted, as lauren moss reports. today has been a total and utter waste of time. i've been unable to log in for the entire shift. alex is one of thousands of coronavirus tracers hired to work for the nhs test and trace system in england. she used to be employed by the bbc before changing careers to be a health care professional but was unable to work during the pandemic. in the four months since test and trace went live, alex spoke to only one

person with coronavirus. my grey hairs that are turning up now have come from trying to deal with the system. test and trace was launched at the end of may with high expectations it would be a key component in the battle against the pandemic. we will have a test, track and trace operation that will be world beating. tracers like alex are tasked with contacting people who have tested positive for the virus to ask them to self—isolate and provide the details of people they've been in close contact with. start tracing... but alex says it fell short of what she expected. ifeel quite ashamed to tell people that this is what i've been working on. how do i say to people i've been working on this for four months and i've spoken to one person in that time? i expected to be busy all the time but instead i was sat in my bedroom or i was sat in my living room, literally like a robot pressing a button hoping that a case was going to pop up. it is demoralising. latest figures show that just over one in five people who have tested positive

still are not being reached. if you test positive... the government has set aside £12 billion for test and trace, an estimated 1 billion had been spent by the end ofjuly and there are questions about how it is being used. it is substantial sums of money going out of the door and we don't know exactly what it is achieving. they should never shy away from being open about how taxpayers' money is being spent because in the end we all have to pay this back. the department of health says the system is one of the largest in the world. it works with a wide range of private and public sector partners. it says local authorities have been an integral part of its response throughout and that they have been receiving test, case and contact tracing data since 24th june. 500,000 people have been contacted and told to isolate. more information on how funding is spent will be published next summer. is it what i thought it would be? no. is it what i'd hoped it would be? no. alex has now left test and trace, but with thousands of new coronavirus cases every day

the system will likely be more important than ever as we head into what is expected to be a difficult winter. lauren moss, bbc news. and viewers in the uk can watch panorama: test and trace exposed tonight on bbc one at 7.30. it's been announced that no alcohol will be sold in the house of commons or the lords after ten in the evening, with immediate effect. the decision was taken after it emerged that bars in the palace of westminster were exempt from the curfew because they were classified as "workplace ca nteens". catering facilities will remain open to serve food. there were complaints from several mps with one branding the rules as ‘ridiculous;‘. the owner of australia's biggest theme park has been fined the equivalent of 2.5 million dollars over the deaths of four people on the thunder river rapids ride in 2016. two women and two men died when rafts collided at dreamworld on queensland's gold coast. ardent leisure had pleaded guilty to three breaches of workplace health and safety laws.

here's ardent‘s lawyer. i am here today to say that ardent apologises unreservedly for the past circumstances and failures of dreamworld that resulted in the tragic loss of four lives and for the ongoing impact that this terrible tragedy has had on so many people. on behalf of the ardent board and the new dreamworld leadership team, i would also like to express our deepest sympathies to the families of roozi araghi, kate goodchild, luke dorsett and cindy low. since the return of the football during the pandemic there has been a major focus on tackling racism in the sport. players, managers, and officials have been telling the bbc about their experiences and what must be done to stamp out discrimination. miriam walker—khan reports. it takes away your innocence, definitely. you are seen as the threat, i guess. i think itjust angered me more than anything. you had to be thick—skinned, you had to get on with it.

the people are different, but the problem is the same: racism in football. what i can remember was kicking off, played the ball to beckham, it was all fine, played it back to ashley cole, and then it was like a ‘boo'. played across to sol. up to me — ‘boo'. and then back to scholsie — nothing. october 2002. in bratislava, slovakfans racially abused england's black players. emile heskey says it was some of the worst racist abuse of his career. when it went to a black player, it was booing, but when it went to a white player it was nothing. the actual booing was monkey chants. commentator: a chance for heskey for england! emile heskey! heskey had a long england career, from youth football through to world cups. as a teenager playing against ireland, he was spat at and called racial slurs, but never reported it, worried he would be deemed a troublemaker. we had no real voice in that sense of power, to do anything. so it was staying on the pitch, showing my skills

and winning the game. since the start of the premier league nearly three decades ago, the number of bame players has increased, but there's still only been nine non—white managers. as a player and manager, chris hughton has felt the effect of racism. all of these black and ethnic players in the late '70s and early '80s, they would have gone through a playing career that they would have been subjected to racial comments, racial discrimination. and it's impossible for you not to think, "well, you know, do i want is a further career in this game?" and it's not only in the men's game. england international anita asa nte says as a black player, she's had to work twice as hard. you don't want any individual to feel that they can't be 100% themselves. maybe on that particular day, in a training session, i am that very competitive person that comes across a little bit more, erm, feisty. but because there's an association

with being a black woman and having that kind of energy and boldness, it's not always seen as a positive thing. i might refrain from being that person. that's what i think is a sad thing. the global protests that followed george floyd's death challenged racism around the world, and footballers played their part. the new generation are pushing for change. among them, watford's andre gray. if us as players keep speaking up and being very vocal about it, that — it will always be in their minds now, and if anyone does get caught or does do it, then the repercussions will be stronger than they have been before. the problem remains, but by using their voices now, they hope the conversation will one day be over. miriam walker—khan, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. hello. the middle part of this week

and the tail end of the week on into the weekend are going to be producing some pretty lively weather offerings for the uk. tomorrow, a little bit of a breather, then dry and sunny thanks to a ridge of high pressure just toppling in from the atlantic. this is the weather front that has been working its way eastwards across the uk over the course of monday. it will push a little bit of thicker cloud and rain into the midlands and eastern england through the evening and overnight, but underneath the covering of cloud it will stay relatively mild, temperatures dropping no lower than double figures. further west, as the ridge of high pressure builds in and the sky is clear, temperatures in some sheltered rural spots in northern ireland and scotland will get down to the lower end of single figures — but, here, some of the best sunshine first thing on tuesday, whereas it willjust take a little while for this cloud across eastern england to thin and break, but, for tuesday, a lot of sunshine to come, plenty of dry weather, as you can see, and light winds, too. in terms of the temperatures, i think probably 14 or 15 willjust

about cover it for scotland and northern ireland. we could get close to 20 across the south—east of england, but then, as we look at the remainder of the week, it is all change. an area of low pressure comes to dominate for wednesday, it will kick the winds up in the west, even overnight tuesday. windy pretty much across the board on wednesday, with some heavy rain moving into the west. eastern england, perhaps, not faring too bad overall, but, for parts of northern ireland and the south—west of scotland, that rain could prove quite relentless, and we could get some pretty hefty totals here, although this rain approaching southern england looks like it could also be on the heavy side later in the day and on into the evening. and then, once the low pressure starts to take hold, we are really at the mercy of a series of low pressure centres rolling around each other, but generally still dominating the uk through the remainder of the week and on into the weekend. because of the way those areas of low pressure began to play with each other, pinning down the detail on exactly when we will get the wettest and windiest of the weather will be somewhat tricky, but what we definitely can say is that the end of the week and next weekend

are looking very unsettled, with potential for some very heavy spells of rain and some strong winds, and the temperatures, well, considerably disappointing for the time of year — highs for the majority probably not even making it into the mid—teens.

end the curfew chaos — calls on the government to think again on its 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants in england. calls on the government to think again on its 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants in england, as it increases fines for breaches of those self—isolating. i do hope people who are watching, listening, today, anyone planning a night out this week, will think, actually, no, i really get it, i realise that it might seem like the fun thing to do to keep on partying, it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. as thousands of students face isolation in their university accomodation, many ask how much longer can this go on? as more local lockdowns are introduced, we'll be getting the latest from around the uk. also this lunchtime... trump's huge losses, and a £55,000 hairstyling bill.
