: m; flit something that has a lot of public buy—in. it's that thing about getting into the habit of taking one out with you, of course. and i've taken to putting a stash of disposable ones in my bag just in case i haven't got the washable, reusable ones. but i do think when the prime minister's father is caught that way — we do need to see some consequences of that. we can't have the prime minister saying there will be fines for not complying with the laws, "except for my dad." we need some consistency in this, otherwise there will be a lack of public trust in the unity and the goodwill, and the cohesion that we need to get through the next few months. but it's not the first time that stanley johnson has months. but it's not the first time that stanleyjohnson has not gone with the rules that the rest of the country has been proposed or been told to do. just thinking about his trip to greece, especially the way

he got there. and also we all remember dominic cummings and the trip he made that caused so much controversy earlier in the year. i wondered at the time — there is a rationale for some people who can't wear masks, and that's cause problems because some certain health conditions, you are exempt from wearing a mask. and i did wonder if stanley johnson wearing a mask. and i did wonder if stanleyjohnson had wearing a mask. and i did wonder if stanley johnson had for any wearing a mask. and i did wonder if stanleyjohnson had for any reason been exempted. but it doesn't appear to be that way, according to the mirror somewhat interesting stuff. coronavirus to one side, frankfurt alga mine is looking at what so many of the international papers are looking at — the presidential debate, rachel. well, a shout off, argument? i don't know how you would describe it, but it was pretty feisty. it was absolutely chaotic. unbearable, difficult, shouting.

someone watching from japan put on twitter that they not only had to watch three men yelling at each other, but then had to wait for the translations of the three men yelling at each other to add that extra component. but i think we can see this, and american commentators are pointing out that this is trump lashing out because actually he's doing quite badly — the last few days, the polling has not gone well for him. he doesn't really have much to say except this kind of, you know, chaotic interruption, dissembling and goading of white supremacists, which it was easily the most appalling thing that we saw yesterday, to see the prime minister of the united states talk in that way. we should be utterly horrified

by that. did you stay up and watch it? you know, i had a bit of a cold the last week and i felt — i got up this morning and felt a bit ropey still and thought, "i really should of stayed up to watch." then i read and heard everything, watch for the kits and some of the debate back today — i declare an interest in this because i used to work with boris back when he stood for london mayor, and we actually had the first televised debates for the candidates then, it was something that we did before they'd been kind of done for the party leaders. so it was something that we had never tried in the uk, and it was a fascinating experience being behind—the—scenes doing a negotiation about how you prep the terms of the debate. sol always find these interesting. but it's obviously very different for donald trump because he wasn't president when he was doing this before. he wanted to be president, which is a very different thing. and you're held to a slightly different standard when you are the president.

joe biden is right, his behaviour was not presidential. it wasn't really edifying for anyone to watch, and it was inappropriate for either individual that wants to be president of the united states — particularly when they have so many people dying, and they need leadership at this difficult time. so it was a really interesting thing in terms of seeing — i wouldn't say the shine coming off trump because i don't think he ever had a knee, but his degree of being rattled, this degree of him being behind. this is something his advisers can't fix for him, he has to perform himself on these occasions. and if you look like you're rattled, you're actually exposing yourself in that way. no one can overand exposing yourself in that way. no one can over and you can't spin your way out of these occasions. so it'll be really interesting to see how this unfolds. and actually seeing what they do in america to actually handle this debate in the future —

there's talk of muting microphones, which i don't think will work. donald trump is looking for anything that suggests he's not able to be heard or have a fair run at this again. so anything that he's done to silence him will not work. but joe biden's can't must consider, what do they do? the name calling isn't great forjoe biden either, —— joe biden's camp. so they need to dig deep to figure out their approach to the next one. a few more left, interesting. we will have to dig into your insight when it comes to the debates with borisjohnson, how do you prepare someone for that? lets get the guardian in quickly — a brilliant picture of pancho dame with pantomime performers and their concern with the industry. at the store and want to focus on are these plans from number ten to send asylum seekers to places like moldova and papua new guinea. it's an appalling

idea, it's the spec until —— spectacle of cruelty we've expected from this government. i'm sure it's unlikely to happen, moldova and morocco would probably agree with that. and i think we need to ask ourselves, what is the government trying not to talk about when it puts out this cruel nonsense about migration policy? we've already heard today that mps in the north and northeast, particularly ones that one seats in december, want the government to go all out culture war on issues because that's better than talking about the government's failures over coronavirus, and not least its shambolic test and trace system which was outsold to the private sector, which is failing. so we need to ask ourselves when we see these stories, what are they not reporting on, what are they talking about instead ? reporting on, what are they talking about instead? we will ask those questions in the next addition.

sorry to cut you off, we will see you both in the next edition of the papers very shortly, and i'll be back as well. thanks for watching. hello, i'm kevin ramjaun, and this is your latest sports news. —— gavin ramjaun. manchester united are through to the quarter finals of the league cup after their second win over brighton in the space of five days. this was a lot more coamfortable than saturday's last—gasp victory. scott mctominay gave united the lead just before half time before juan mata added a second on 72 minutes. sub paul pogba made the game safe with a deflected free kick ten minutes before full time. league two newport county gave premier league newcastle a might scare at rodney parade. —— a mighty scare. county took the lead through tristan abrahams early on. newcastle had to wait until the 87th minute before finally finding

an equaliser through jonjo shelvey. it went to penalties and heartbreak for newport, after their defender brandon cooper missed the decisive spot kick. newcastle scraping through 5—4 on penalties elsewhere, raheem sterling scored twice in manchester city's 3—0 win at burnley, while dominic calvert—lewin scored a hat—trick in everton‘s 4—1 victory over west ham. everton are through to the women's fa cup final after beating birmingham 3—0. goals from northern ireland forward simone magill, denmark's nicoline sorensen, and france striker valerie gauvin sealed victory. everton will play either holders manchester city or ia—time winners arsenal at wembley on i november. wales will be without gareth bale for october's friendly against england, and their nations league matches against the republic of ireland and bulgaria. bale was carrying a knee injury before he rejoined tottenham on loan from real madrid earlier this month

and still isn't match fit. here's wales manager ryan giggs. we had to think seriously about, you know, not only the short term but the long—term, get gareth back for it and playing, and look forward to seeing him in the premier league. he will be playing regularly. so yeah, i'm happy that gareth is back at a clu b i'm happy that gareth is back at a club he knows so well. wigan athletic‘s administrators have reached an agreement with a bidderfrom spain to buy the league one club. wigan entered administration in july and were relegated from the championship after a 12—point penalty. the bidder, who is yet to be named, has paid a "substantial" deposit and will pay non—football creditors to ensure the club doesn't pick up a further is—point penalty. it's set to be a fascinating finale to the regular english premiership season, with sale and bristol bears both tied on points for the last playoff spot. bristol thrashed leicester by 40—3 at ashton gate, with the bonus point being critical. they will need to better the result

of sale, bath, or wasps on sunday if they want to progress to the semi finals. exeter are already assured of a home tie and rested many of their first team in losing 22—19 to london irish this evening. elsewhere, worcester beat relegated saracens. serena williams has withdrawn from the french open. she was due to play in the second round at roland garros today, but she's been carrying an achilles problem that she picked up at the us open. that's likely to be the end of her season, and the wait goes on for a record equalling 24th grand slam singles title. i had to focus on walking straight so i wasn't limping, and... i tried, i always give ioo%, everyone knows that. maybe even more than 100 if that's possible. i take solace in that. so, yeah, i think achilles is a real injury that you do not want to play with,

because that is not good if it gets worse. meanwhile, top seed simona halep and third seed elina svitolina are both through to the third round — but the tenth seed victoria azarenka is out. she was beaten in straight sets by world number 161 anna karolina schmiedlova from slovakia. 12—time champion rafael nadal is through to the third round. he cruised through in straight sets against america's mackenzie mcdonald. nadal will play italy's stefano travaglia next. johnny bairstow has missed out on a test contract for the next year. england's wicketkeeper batsman has only played one of the last 12 tests, so it wasn't unexpected. but he remains on the limited overs list of retained players. ollie pope, zak crawley, and dom sibley have been given test deals. five players have been given contracts for both red and white ball cricket. here's the england managing director on bairstow‘s omission. it's a knock for him, i'm sure. johnny has played one

test match in the year. we only have so many contracts that we award. it's a tough call to make becausejohnny has been a very good servant for the team, but he remains a really important part of what we do. he is a white ball contracted player, he is one of our most dangerous players in that form, and that hasn't changed. now, spare a thought for west indies bowler sha kera selman. her side had england in trouble in the final t20 match in derby — a game reduced to just five overs a side. england needed three runs off three balls, with three wickets remaining when selman bowled a no ball. the equation then became one to win off three balls, and selman proceeded to bowl another no—ball to hand england victory and a 5—0 series whitewash. and before we go, one super league result to tell you about.

huddersfield beat hull kingston rovers 32—22. huddersfield are still in sixth place but rovers are now bottom of the table. and that's all the sport for now. hello. for thursday, something drier and brighter for the uk as a whole. lighter winds, as well. make the most of this window in the weather, though, because essentially our weather pattern right through the weekend now is dominated by low pressure — it's just this little blip here to the south, a tiny hump, if you like, in the isobars, a small ridge of high pressure that's offering us some respite for today. little bit of a chilly start across northern england and northern ireland, but a lot of sunshine here. some lingering rain for northern and eastern scotland should peter out come the afternoon. look out for some some heavier showers gathering towards the south—west and across wales through the second half of the day. a few along the south coast too. but, for the majority, a lot of sunshine and temperatures getting up into the mid teens. but, thursday night and into friday, all eyes to the south of the uk. it looks like a very deep area of low pressure will develop across brittany, sending very heavy rain

into the south of the uk and the risk of quite widespread gales as well. particularly stormy along the south coast.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the body that oversees us presidential debates says it will take steps to ensure there is no repeat of wednesday's chaotic and angry contest. the question is. you're gonna put a lot of new supreme court justices. the question is. ..radical left. will you shut up, man? listen, who is on your list, joe? after ducking an opportunity to condemn white supremacists, the president now claims ignorance over a far right group he mentioned by name at last night's debate. i don't know who the proud boys are. i mean, you'll have to give me a definition because i really don't know who they are. i can only say they have to stand down. let law enforcement do their work. the united kingdom is now said to be at a critical moment, in the battle against coronavirus.
