help him every way possible. so he be difficult for those who have endured so much human suffering to has been waiting seven months, have forget it. we must learn from the you been given any indication when he is going to be able to have these grommets put in? no, iwas mistakes, responsible leadership matters, science matters, cooperation matters, misinformation he is going to be able to have these grommets put in? no, i was at the doctor again the other day and i kills. and as transmission rates continue asked how long will we be waiting? to rise in some parts of the uk, he said the usual waiting time is 20 there's been a further tightening of restrictions in parts of the north—east of england: in durham, gateshead, weeks but it has doubled and gone to newcastle, north and south tyneside, northumberland and sunderland. 40 weeks and that is the least time households in those areas had already been advised not to mix, at the minute. ok, how do you feel but from midnight tonight any about that? i do feel very upset meeting between different households about that? i do feel very upset in any indoor setting, about it, to be honest. he has been such as pubs and restaurants, will be against the law. waiting that long and his hearing the ban will be enforced by fines, has gone really bad because he £200 for a first offence, cannot tell us what is wrong. he the amount doubled for a second wakes up screaming in the night, in offence, and then rising for each agony and seeing in in that pain breaks my heart. knowing he cannot subsequent infringement. the government says the measures are needed as there are now over 100 have anything done yet. it is covid—19 cases per 100,000 people in the region. difficult. in the scale of things we and it says many of the public

are being infected in indoor concentrate on people in cancer settings outside the home. screening, this is a relatively but the announcement appears straightforward, routine piece of to have come as a surprise equipment that could really to local council leaders. transform your little boy's life, but you cannot get it because of the what has concerned me is that this backlog? yeah, that's it. its announcement has been made without literary end, have the operation and he is out the same day. not like he any consultation to us as local authorities and the local police. it will be taking up a hospital bed, is deeply concerning and making sure because he can recover at home. it we are all working together here. is quite infuriating, it is so sad with the infection rates rising in other regions, at the same time. you will have just including merseyside and london, whitehall will be watching closely heard the doctor saying we cannot do to see if these new restrictions succeed in dampening down transmission rates. everything. i don't envy the people john mcmanus, bbc news. our reporter alison freeman who have to make those kind of decisions when it comes to is in newcastle this morning. prioritising rationing, do you? no, the measures so far, is there they are in a hard position right evidence to suggest they are now. they are probably in one of the working? it seems that the covid—19 worst positions trying to deal with everything that is going on. we cases here are still on the rise, you've got to remember that it was cannot fault them, whatsoever. we

less tha n you've got to remember that it was less than two weeks ago that the really can't. i don't know what to original title restrictions came in say about that. no, it is tough. let across the southern council areas here in the north—east, affecting 2 me go back, in order to be able to million people —— tighter restrictions. it was here we first do everything, you presumably are had the 10pm curfew for restaurants saying, we need a load more money and bars and people were told they and we know the chancellor back in must not socialise with people who we re must not socialise with people who were not inside their social bubble mid—march before lockdown, promised or he lived in the household, that to give the nhs whatever it needed to give the nhs whatever it needed was in their own homes and gardens. to deal with the impact of covid—19. then people were advised they whether it is millions of pounds or mustn't socialise with people billions of pounds, how much do you outside of those groups in pubs and think you need to be able to do restau ra nts everything? even before the pandemic outside of those groups in pubs and restaurants as well. it was yesterday that the health secretary, we had identified alongside the nhs matt hancock, said that advice would now become law, so from midnight confederation and other think tanks, tonight people are not allowed to meet their mates at the pub for a drink without risking facing a fine. the nhs was getting a settlement of £20 billion which it has repeatedly the leader of newcastle city council has described the move as unwelcome said, it is 1% less. we think the but necessary to stop this sharp nhs needs about a third more in rise in covid cases and he has also recurrent funding. it is notjust questioned whether the police in money, let me put it into

this wide area has the time, money perspective, we have the lowest or resources to enforce these new numbers of doctors per 100,000 restrictions. we know in the patients compared to most of europe. we have tens of thousands fewer neighbouring area of the tees valley, council leaders got together hospital beds compared to other to discuss whether they would bring nations in europe. we had only a entitled restrictions. they in some quarter of the intensive care beds as germany had when the pandemic areas have covid testing rates of starter. the money needs to 100 per 100,000, in areas have covid testing rates of 100 per100,000, in some areas have covid testing rates of 100 per 100,000, in some parts of translate into more health care that area, but they had decided they do not want to bring in these extra professionals, more community facilities, more beds, bettersocial care. these are real deficiencies in restrictions until they had seen data from the area further north of, our health service and that is what where i am now, which suggests there we must correct. the pandemic came has been a positive result from ona we must correct. the pandemic came on a backdrop of an infrastructure bringing in these stricter measures. that was lacking and we need to act and get the funding at the levels of but people here in the north—east say they are confused by some of the the nations take for granted. my heart really does go out to so many new restrictions, they are not sure if it means they can beat input patients who are routine, but they gardens or not, whether that cancer are not. if you cannot hear properly is inside a social venue, but people asa are not. if you cannot hear properly as a child it will affect your here are starting to feel a little bit unsure about why these restrictions are being brought in across some areas that are more speech and development, education attainment. for a patient who needs rural, where you do not have the

attainment. for a patient who needs a cataract, especially in the later population of places like gateshead stages of your life, every year and newcastle —— they are not sure cou nts stages of your life, every year counts if you are not able to see. i think what is important now is to if it means they can meet in pub have a very transparent process so gardens, whether that counts as inside. patients know where they stand. what well, you saw nick forbes — the labour leader of we have just heard patients know where they stand. what we havejust heard is newcastle city council — patients know where they stand. what we have just heard is what i experience as a gp, patients are in that report, complaining that the government had not informed asking, when will i be treated? any of the local authorities about the changes to restrictions there is nothing i can say to them ahead of the announcement from the health secretary yesterday. as to when they will be treated, let's hear a little more because i have no idea. that is of what he had to tell the bbc this morning. taking upa because i have no idea. that is last week we saw the introduction taking up a lot of gp time at the of some new restrictions moment. and hospital time, patience across our region. we were waiting to see ringing up wanted to find out. what whether they started taking an effect and we were also having is important, is for people to know discussions with government around the potential need how long they are expected to wait for additional regulations, and find a system of prioritising but alongside those the requirement those for whom it is important to for additional support for businesses, additional capacity have treatment that will make a big difference to their lives. thank you around test and trace and support very much, both of you. thank you. to ensure there was appropriate good luck, sophie, thank you for enforcement in place for these talking to us and all the best of new regulations which, let's be fair, haven't been cody as well. tried or tested before, and there's still confusion this news just in from the office

about whether its local for national statistics, covid authorities or councils that deaths are on the rise. figures from will have the responsibility for enforcement. so there were a whole series the 18th of september to the 25th of questions that we were starting to ask the government about over the weekend and yesterday, showed there were 10,784 deaths in so it was a bit of a bolt the uk. that is 2% above the from the blues when the secretary of state stood up and made his expected level for this time of announcement and threw everything, really, up in the air again. year. 158 of those deaths involved and the problem that we've got is not just that the secretary covid—19, a rise of 48 from the of state has made an announcement without any kind of understanding previous week. it is the second week about the impact on affected ina row businesses, the potentialforjob previous week. it is the second week in a row that covid deaths have losses, but also by doing so it means... risen but way below the peak of 9500 and doing it in a very kneejerk way, it means we haven't got we saw in april. the right communications messages in place locally and as a result confusion and chaos spreads, which actually undermines the very messages that we are trying to get the two men who want to be the next president of the united states — across to the public. donald trump and joe biden go head to head later in the first us presidential tv debate tonight. it's taking place in cleveland, thank you for your messages. peter ohio and comes with the president on the back foot after revelations is in the north—east of england, in the new york times about his "ivm is in the north—east of england, "i'm fine with the measures if they business losses and tax affairs. the election takes place in early november. we re "i'm fine with the measures if they were not so contradictory, and no our washington correspondent, gary o'donoghe reports. help for small businesses being the stage is almost set,

" let's cafe staying afloat." gary says: ijoke that he is no "let's work together to beat this killer virus, it is not nice to be winston churchill in debating locked down but you really do not but he was fine. wa nt to locked down but you really do not want to catch this, i know, i have and people say he was had it." michelle says, "i am no on performance enhancing drugs. and the former vice sceptic but it is becoming a president's reaction to that. dystopian society, disgraceful that laughs. mrjohnson and his cronies can dictate how we live on a win, it should be discussed in parliament." he's almost — no, i have no comment. this message from a cafe in bolton, "three weeks today we have been some people might think the stakes closed, still no support, still no are higher for some people might think the stakes are higherfortrump some people might think the stakes are higher for trump because he is behind in the polls. ithink explanation, still so unfair. we are higher for trump because he is behind in the polls. i think that the way that trumps makes up ground cannot survive this. hospitality in is by biden looking back. that says bolton is dying, will nobody acknowledge us?" biden's performance is more martin gannon is the labour leader important than trump's performance. of gateshead council. good morning. are these measures in

the north—east of england, which come enhance law tomorrow, necessary? i think the point is that gary o'donoghue, bbc u nfortu nately news, cleveland, ohio. necessary? i think the point is that unfortunately they are. nick folk in the us, thousands more people in the state quite rightly makes point about the of california are being forced to leave their homes way in which they were announced, as new wildfires take hold there. there's been an extreme rate of growth for the blaze, without pre—consultation with which has been named the glass fire, ourselves, but the fact is that in napa county. homes and business have been destroyed, infection rates are escalating in as tanya dendrinos reports. the north—east of england and virus needs to be brought into control. but they should not have been a scene of sheer devastation. homes necessary , we but they should not have been necessary, we had a national lockdown across the country in march flattened by a wildfire that more and we got that i was under control, and we got that i was under control, and ever since then we have been than quadrupled in size overnight. begging the government to release residents across northern california the capacity for local test, track reliving a recurring nightmare. lot of consternation in and around and trace to the local authorities that region that has been hit over, in the north—east of england, and when the numbers were low, we could and over, and over again over the course of the last number of years. have controlled it, we have the expertise here, we have the pathology labs and the technology, this fire in chester county, we have the resources, we have the familiar territory, notjust people to be able to do the work, figuratively, 7000 acre so far have all we needed was the kit supplied burned. consider back to 2017 in the

to us rather than being sent to car fire burned. consider back to 2017 in the carfire and burned. consider back to 2017 in the car fire and this burned. consider back to 2017 in the carfire and this is in and around national contractors, god only knows what they are doing with them. it those areas. thousands have been has been the government's data forced to evacuate. the terrifying escape for some... but there was intensive test, track and trace which has getting us to this point nothing to match the ferocity of the where we are back in a situation where we are back in a situation where the virus is back under inferno, tearing through wine control, and frankly it makes me absolutely furious. so have you country, homes and livelihoods swallowed by the flames. conditions asked again for the activities this capacity so you can do that testing, did anything but favour crews tracking and tracing locally? —— throughout monday, working desperately on the ground and from the air. we have had an increase in asked again for the government to the air. we have had an increase in the winds along with increase in release this capacity?” temperature and lowering relative asked again for the government to release this capacity? i have been a national newspapers, on the bbc, as humidity is, which has increased the have all of the leaders in the fire behaviour and the fire has north—east of england, and our jumped and it is working its way public health partners, we have towards those more populated areas. repeatedly demanded, pleated, to an anxious wait for many at the give us the ability to be able to wheel of mother nature. so this is carry out test, track and trace our property right here. we have a locally. if had been done, if it had sliver of ground between here and been done, this would not be the napa river, a couple of acres. happening. how do you know? because it is completely covered with forestation. if anything get into

the yard, it will all be gone, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, when this began to happen in gateshead, i everything. we wetting this all down as best as we can and we have a was being inundated with culture and couple of sprinklers on the roof of the and we are hoping for the bus. people think, i can't get a test. 0k? -- people think, i can't get a test. 0k? —— inundated with calls from multiple fires continue to burn across the state in what has been people saying, i can't get a test. california's fire season on record. they sent a national mobile testing fire crews awaiting any opportunity centre to gateshead, to a car park. to begin to gain control. it was meant to arrive on the saturday, it's right on the sunday, it just saturday, it's right on the sunday, itjust did not turn up on the saturday, right? when it arises tight capacity to do full hundred sir david attenborough was tests a day, i then discovered it interviewed on the bbc yesterday — and he said his hopes for the future was giving 60, because once they lie in the hands of children. said the tests of it getting to so we've asked some young attenborough fans to put their best bottlenecks in the system, so questions to the man himself. hi, david. although staff had tickets, they i would like to know we re although staff had tickets, they were instructed not to put them into what's your favourite places, the system because the system could and how they've changed? not handle it. we had a regional my favourite place was a woodland in the middle pathology centre a mile away. you of england, in lincolnshire. are saying they were told to limit testing so it would not add to the and it had rocks around it congestion in the national testing which were full of fossils.

that they could have sent them to wonderfulthings, shells, your local pathology labs and them some of them big ones. and sometimes you could hit a rock — back? yes. right. the implication of sometimes they were sitting out there and you just turned over the fact that not enough tests are the rock and there it was. being done, which is what you were and it was — you were the first telling me, in your region, means asymptomatic and symptomatic people person ever to see that. are potentially going round and it hadn't seen the sun infecting others? absolutely right. for maybe 150 million years. think about that! the official figures show 116 new hi, my name's elliott and i am six cases per 100,000 over the last years old and i have a question. what is your favourite dinosaur? seven days, but given that well, elliott, there practically nobody can get a test, was a huge animal that of course the cases are much higher. flew over the dinosaurs, as big as a small aeroplane, but it is notjust testing, once you called quetzalcoatlus. get to that level of infection you have literally hundreds of contracts to trace and it becomes incredibly and it had huge wings, difficult, when you have one or two just as big as an aeroplane. cases a week, then it is possible and it was the biggest for environmental health officers, who are experts in this, they have animal that ever flew, spent a lifetime tracing food and none of us could work out how it got off the ground, because how poisoning or other communicable do you beat the wings? it's a mystery.

hello, david. diseases, people who work in our my name is anais and hospitals who work with sexually i'm three years old. what's your favourite animal? transmitted diseases, not a national call centre run by a private i don't really have a favourite animal, to be truthful. contractor that does not have the but there is a fish i am foggiest idea it is costing country very fond of called — billions. one final quick question, um, what's it called now? councillor martin gannon, the new measures that become law tomorrow, it's called the weedy sea dragon, you cannot go for a drink or meal and it lives in the seas off indoors in a pub or restaurant with south australia and its fins look someone you do not live with, will exactly like bits of seaweed. they work? well, the vibe it has to hi, my name is harry and i'm 11 years old and i want to work be brought into control, the in zoology, but with the current climate crisis, i would like to know consequences of this exponential rise in cases in the north—east of if there will be any animals left england are unthinkable. we are in the world to study. getting to the stage where people there will certainly be enough are being told not to socialise, the animals individually. there won't be as many different next step, the only possible next animals as we have now. step is what happened on march the i can be pretty sure of that. 24th, total lockdown, that would bring the fibres under the control, but we need to study them, we need to know all we can but 80,000 people in the north—east about them in order to protect them of england work in hospitality, it and help them, so i hope you do go to university and you do study

zoology and you do help will absolutely destroy our economy. in the struggle to care for nature. we are doing everything possible to try to stop that. but it needs to be i am william and i'm four years old. brought under control. thank you very much for talking to us, labour who do you think would win out leader of gateshead council, of a lion, hippopotamus and a rhino? councillor martin gannon. borisjohnson will set out plans well, it would depend today that he hopes will transform whether they were in the river the education and training available or not, wouldn't they? to adults in england, and boostjob if they were in the river it would be the hippopotamus. prospects after the pandemic. in a speech later this morning, if they were on land, he'll say that, from next april, i think it would be the lion. people without an a—level or equivalent qualification will be offered a free, but i'm not sure, actually, fully funded college course. the scheme will cost £2.5 billion. because a hippopotamus is very big, you know, it weighs much more labour say it's not enough to reverse a decade of cuts. than a lion. so if it rolled over, let's get more on this from our and it got the wild lion political correspondent helen catt. underneath it, the lion wouldn't like that very much. exactly what is being offered? we hi, david. will not get the detail of these courses until next month and it will my name is called evie, be up to the college is running them and i'm four years old. as to when they start, but the what's the biggest spider ever in the whole wide world? government is pledging to make sure and my mummy doesn't like spiders. there is funding in place from next aprilfor, as you said, anybody there is funding in place from next april for, as you said, anybody who well, i can see why your mummy

does not have an a—level or doesn't like spiders, equivalent qualification to take one though there are none in this country that bite you. of the three, 30 funded college there's one, certainly courses which are valued by employers, that is the phrase the in south america, which is as big as your hand, really. government is attaching. they are and very hairy legs. also working to change some of the other bits of the training and skill and you don't want to mess with that, because that one system, making higher education loa ns system, making higher education does have a nasty bite. loans more flexible, for example, making apprenticeships more flexible, the idea being to try to make this a bit more about lifelong learning rather than focusing in one we should have an interview with block, that is something the government has been thinking about, david attenborough every single day! we saw it in the conservative paramedics are used to travelling by ambulance, ma nifesto we saw it in the conservative manifesto last year, but the real motorbike and helicopter to deliver emergency care, but soon urgency is because of the they could be taking to the skies coronavirus pandemic and the pretty in futuristic jet suits. it's hoped the packs peak projections on unemployment. we will drastically reduce the response had the chance last week say the time to patients in otherwise hard to reach areas, as economy will change and some of sharon barbour reports. it was one man's dream to fly, these jobs will disappear, so we and an emergency service's desperation to reach critically ill expect the prime minister later to patients much quicker, say that while he cannot save every which has led to this. job, what we can do is give people a test flight for the great north

long would it take? i think there are perhaps right now, our aircraft conversations are said to see if some sort of compromise can be would probably be the first on scene, obviously, reached to try to make them happier and that might take to get some more parliamentary maybe 20—25 minutes. scrutiny, because if it were to go toa richard browning was wearing the jet scrutiny, because if it were to go to a vote than it sounds like the suit he invented to show numbers would be there, labour is the ambulance service how it worked. sympathetic to the idea, there is enough discontent on the tory so, the jet suits, in fact you've backbenches that it could defeat the got a couple sitting behind here, they work government if it was to go to a by using microjet engines. so pretty much the same things vote. that you have on a jet let's return to the news that aircraft, a jetliner. there's two on each arm, globally, we've now seen more than a million deaths one on the back, and the way in this pandemic. that they then blow so much air jennifer dowd is associate professor downwards allows you to of demography and population health at the university of oxford. lift off the ground. and then all the manoeuvrability is down to you using your own natural human balance and co—ordination. hello to you, professor dowd, how if you point them increasingly significant is this milestone?m downwards, you go up. and as you flare them out, hello to you, professor dowd, how significant is this milestone? it is extremely sobering, i don't think you come down again. nobody in the world would expect any others would have expected this that as an air ambulance we could get to someone in a jet in february if we were to make suit in a matter of minutes projections. there is a saying that one death is a tragedy that a and get them some pain relief or ultimately, million ra statistics and i really in the worst cases, save their life. hope we cannot become numb to such and that it's safe. but how safe is it? huge numbers and really remember it is very safe.

that all of these deaths represent a family member or a friend, and so we only go to a height where, if you still fell, the grief of these that has really you would be able to recover. it wouldn't be a terrible injury. multiplied many times over. the great north air ambulance initially, when we look back, there service is now in talks to make we re initially, when we look back, there were many comparisons made with flu modifications to the jet suit, at the time. how do you reflect on with the hope of sending a paramedic up to reach their first patients by next summer. that, knowing what we know now? we sharon barbour, bbc news. have already seen many more global deaths than we typically expect in a bad flu season, there is no doubt now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. that covid is worse than the flu, we helped very early on that we might learn that this was not as severe as we feared but we have one method of trying to calculate the real test a lot of cloud and drizzle towards shall, looking at what we call the east but it is looking like one of the driest and brightest days of access mortality, where instead of the week with plenty of sunshine. we counting official covid deaths we are between weather systems and one look at the overall debts and clearing away from the east. this compare that to a baseline from area of cloud likely to hang on in previous years, and this is trying eastern england for a good part of to do that counts actual of what the the day. there is another system out world would look like if 2020 had west, but a slice of clear skies, a slice of sunshine for most of us not seen covid. from that access through the rest of the day. one or

mortality we see that the actual two showers through western fringes. deaths in many countries have been some of the cloud lingering through even 20% or 40% higher than official the afternoon across east anglia, covid deaths and much higher than particularly in norfolk and suffolk typical years, so unfortunately we and cloud will thicken into western have probably pass this 1 million counties of northern ireland. there will be some rain here very late in milestone many weeks ago even. can i the day and a strengthening wind. temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees. ask why you think, if we believe the through this evening and tonight the mortality figures, that countries in wet weather in the west will push its way eastwards across northern parts of africa, for example, lower ireland, getting into western income countries, are faring scotland, wales, the western side of relatively well? i think it is a england. strengthening winds as well. further east, largely dry with clear skies and one or two fog very complex question with not one patches and chili in the east and easy answer. one thing is i think milder further west where we have international travel were very the strong winds. outbreaks of rain important early in the panic, these all the strong winds. outbreaks of rain a ll courtesy the strong winds. outbreaks of rain all courtesy of an area of low pressure and a frontal system which will be driving its way eastwards hotspots like london and milan, and there is not as much international through the day tomorrow. in association with the weather system, travel to those countries, but i very brisk winds, gusts of 40 may be think they also have excellent public health infrastructure to deal 45 mph in exposed spots in the west. with infectious diseases because of things like tuberculous and ebola, these outbreaks of rain pushing it so they are really well practised in through the day and some of it will

be heavy, taking a while to get into dealing with these outbreaks and eastern england and it will brighten have that in undated factor might be up eastern england and it will brighten up to some extent across northern ireland through the day. still with some showers. temperatures between that we no demographically mortality is highly concentrated at older ages 14 and 18 degrees. on thursday it is and africa and many lower income another slice a quieter weather, rain clearing away north—eastward. countries are extremely young in the rain returning from the south was age structure, so that might have later but in between, there will be been protected in this instance. spells of sunshine. it will feel thank you so much for talking to us. cooler on thursday with top the world health organisation has temperatures between 11 and 15 announced plans to roll out degrees. we take the cooler feel a rapid new covid test. with us as we head towards the the kit will give results in 15 to 30 minutes weekend and it also looks very and costs less than £4. a deal with manufacturers u nsettled. weekend and it also looks very unsettled. if you are hoping for a will provide 120 million tests dry, fine weekend, this chart isn't to 133 countries over six months. the who says it will transform testing in less wealthy countries going to please you. low pressure firmly in charge. uncertainty about with shortages of healthcare the detail of where the wettest and workers and laboratories. windiest weather will be but it will be cool, often be windy and they these tests provide reliable results will be spells of heavy rain at in approximately 15 to 30 minutes, rather than hours or days times. at a lower price with less sophisticated equipment. this will enable the expansion

of testing, particularly in hard to reach areas that do not have lab facilities or enough trained health workers to carry out tests. this is a vital addition to the testing capacity, and especially important in areas of high transmission. at least £3 billion is due in rent today to landlords from commercial tenants. quarterly rent day is when property owners traditionally collect one of four payments throughout the year. but since lockdown, the amount of rent collected has plummeted and the government recently extended its temporary ban on evictions for firms struggling to pay. we can speak now to sarah maloy, who is the owner of shop zero in st james's street in nottingham — an area which has been badly affected by the pandemic — and to lahari ramuni, a researcher at the centre for cities who has been tracking the recovery of high streets in britain's cities and large towns. hi, both of you. sarah, will you be able to pay your quarterly rent

today? i can pay my rent at the moment, it has been a test time and it is particularly tough for lots of retail businesses, especially independent businesses. i am lucky that my landlord has been very sympathetic with me that i know there are many other people who find it really difficult and we have had businesses close locally. will you be able to continue through the winter, jigging thing? be able to continue through the winter, jigging thing ?|j be able to continue through the winter, jigging thing? i think it will be really, really hard, football is down significantly in the city and with the new restrictions that have come in recently and fewer people coming into the city for work, we hope that we can “— hello, this is bbc news, into the city for work, we hope that we can —— 34 is down significantly. i'm victoria derbyshire — we pull together in nottingham, the here are the latest headlines from the uk and around the world. independent retail sector has tried the number of people who have died to make it as safe as possible for as a result of the coronavirus people to come and we hope people pandemic around the world get that message and we can give passes1 million. them the personalised service they our world has reached an agonising milestone — would wish to see. do you know how the loss of1 million lives

many shops have gone in your street? from the covid—19 pandemic. it's a mind—numbing figure. the north—east of england faces even tougher coronavirus restrictions — it is certainly a lot quieter. some household mixing inside will be against the law. businesses have gone online because if you are in the north—east, what it was better for them. businesses have gone online because it was betterfor them. some businesses close at lockdown and do you think of those new laws? 2 have not come back, we help any business will come into that, it is million of you are affected. e—mail a lot quieter but we're trying to me or message me on social media. support each other. let me bring in donald trump and joe biden pepare to go head to head lahari ramuni, how has the high in the first televised debate of the presidential campaign. street changed in city and town a free college course for all adults in england who don't have a—levels — centres ? the prime minister announces plans street changed in city and town centres? what we had seen since the to try to boost start of the lockdown is everywhere has struggled in terms of such. the smaller city centres and the smaller town centres recovered faster, places like london, manchester and birmingham were still juggling places like london, manchester and birmingham were stilljuggling the places like blackpool, birkenhead, they were doing really well —— people like london, manchester and

birmingham were still struggling. we looked at places in the greater manchester lockdown areas and the local centres are recovering faster than manchester city centre. why do you think that is? the struggle for large city centres is that they usually have lots of office space and office workers, people working from home are not getting public transport as much, they are struggling to pull people into the same extent that they used to and thatis same extent that they used to and that is not a struggle that local centres have as much, when you are ina centres have as much, when you are in a place like oldham, rochdale or bury, you can more easily walk to the city centre. i see. sarah, luckily, can pay her rent today, but she explained it will get us over the winter, as it will be for a

number of businesses. i have m essa 9 es number of businesses. i have messages on social media saying, please help us, we are three weeks into a local lockdown and no word about anything. will we see more business is going to the wall and, if so, can you put a figure on that? i think that is a very difficult question, it is a really difficult situation and i really empathise with the people going through that struggle at the moment. we will see a big change come to the high street, unfortunately, ithink, it has been happening for a long time, especially in terms of international. before the lockdown we used to buy about 20% of our stuff online commonalities about 30%, people are not coming into the city centre as much, in the long—term people will go back to the city centre but the pattern of people shopping online is likely to continue and i think it is important to support businesses, especially people who will lose theirjobs in

this context, they move onto other things that can do. sarah, no doubt you have considered going online only? that saved me during lockdown, really, offering click and collect and postpone and home deliveries, i could not have got through without giving. but you have considered your own business going online only?” don't think my business could work online only, people bring their containers to refill per item think that would work. in our personal experience, (inaudible) we just want people to shop with and support us, many of these businesses would be viable if it was not for covid and we want people to shop safely and i think we can offer that. and the diversity and the

creativity and vibrancy that independent business office to city centres and smaller centres is really invaluable and we urge people to shop locally, please. thank you very much, sarah, did not. sarah maloy from shop zero and nothing in, and lahari ramuni from the sensitive cities, many you are welcome to send mea cities, many you are welcome to send me a message on instagram, twitter or e—mail me. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich hello. after what was a bit of a slow start for some of us this morning, with some fog, some cloud and some drizzle, for the majority it is one of the brightest days of the week with plenty of sunshine. a few showers in western fringes. cloud struggling to clear away from east anglia and the south—east, parts of norfolk and suffolk could stay a bit grey and may be damp right through the afternoon. temperatures today 14 to 18 degrees and then we see cloud into northern ireland later. the strengthening wind and some

outbreaks of rain and that wet weather will push its way eastwards as we head through tonight. although eastern scotland, central and eastern parts of england will stay dry with clear spells, the odd fog patch. little bit chilly in eastern areas but milder further west where we have the cloud, the outbreaks of rain and a brisk wind. we could see gusts in exposed spots in the west tomorrow with 40 to 45 mph. heavy rain pushing eastwards affecting just about all areas through the day. little bit brighter but still with some showers across northern ireland and top temperatures between 14 and 18 degrees. hello this is bbc news and i'm victoria derbyshire. the headlines: the number of people who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic around the world passes one million. the north east of england faces even tougher coronavirus restrictions, household mixing inside will be against the law. a free college course

for all adults in england who don't have a—levels — the prime minister announces plans to try to boost people's job prospects. and as thousands of students are forced to self—isolate on campuses, the education secretary is due to make a commons statement later. sport and for a full sports round up, sally nugent is looking at football finances. she's live at tranmere rovers stadium prenton park. good morning, we from prenton park on the wirral in the north west of england talking about clubs like this one, tranmere rovers. this has beenin this one, tranmere rovers. this has been in existence since 1884 and clu bs been in existence since 1884 and clubs in the lower leagues have been struggling with the news the fans are not coming back anytime soon. there is a premier league meeting today and there is a possibility they will be talking about how to help clubs in the lower league and leading figures in football have written to the government asking for help. a short time ago i spoke to

the co—owner of tranmere rovers and asked him what needs to happen next. there really is an armageddon, a financial armageddon coming to hit a lot of the clubs, certainly lower down the leagues, and i think it's worth looking at. for me there are a variety of measures they can do. the premier league, of course we've looked at, but they have their own problems. but a bit of self help would be great, so may be match funding which is a concept that's unknown to the government, and to local government, for example, whereby if the pfa put cash in, would the government put cash in as well? help with the paye and the customs and excise, not chasing for debts that have been built up, etc. making loans available to them. many of the lower league clubs in a really tricky position at the moment. right at the other end, let's talk about liverpool.

they maintained their 100% start to the season with a 3—1 victory over arsenal. the champions had to come from a goal down at anfield with new signing diogojota sealing the win late on. in the day's other game. aston villa were 3—0 winners at fulham. jack grealish amongst the scorers. villa move up to fourth with the win. the misery continues for the brits at the french open. cameron norrie the latest to crash out in paris, he looked like he was in for a trouble—free evening as he went two sets to one ahead but his colombian opponent came back to win in five and make it into the second round. liam broady is also out, he was appearing in the main draw at roland garros for the first time, but went down in four sets. heather watson is the only brit remaining in the singles, she plays later today. there were also victories for rafael nadal and serena williams.

more british players in the doubles, jamie murray included in that. amyjones helped england to another dominant win over the west indies in the fourth t2o as they won by 44 runs to go 4—0 up. jones made 55 from 37 balls, coupled with heather knight's 42 — in what was england's most impressive performance with the bat so far, 19 fours and five sixes. the final match takes place on wednesday in derby. that is all your sport news from a glorious prenton park. back to you, victoria. thank you very much, sally. the health service in england is dealing with a surge of coronavirus cases, while tackling a "huge backlog" of people needing care, with exhausted staff. that's according to the nhs confederation, which represents trusts and other health care providers. they're warning it could be difficult to deliver safe and effective services with the current level of funding. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. the response of the health service to the first wave of the pandemic, quickly reshaping services to cope with a huge number of very ill

patients, has been widely praised. but health service leaders are now warning heading into winter, and with a second surge building, the nhs is being challenged on all sides. so the nhs, firstly, is preparing to deal with outbreaks and a second surge of the virus. the second is that it's straining everything new to deal 00:35:20,404 --> 2147483051:54:24,917 with the backlog of activity that 2147483051:54:24,917 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 mounted during the first
