good morning, welcome to bbc news, i'm victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines: questions over how and why 16,000 coronavirus cases were missed out of the official figures last week. it has been picked up and it is being dealt with. i don't think there's anything we can change about history, we can only change how we make sure these sort of errors do not happen again in the future. president trump is criticised after taking a ride in a motercade to greet supporters outside the medical centre where he's being treated for coronavirus. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus. i learned a lot about the covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it and i understand it. rescue operations are stepped up in france and italy, after storm alex brings torrential rain and flash floods.

bars in the french capital paris will be closed from tuesday, as part of new restrictions to tackle the spread of the coronavirus. you can get in touch with us on twitter its at vicderbyshire or email me at victoria@bbc.co.uk, or #bbcyourquestions. and coming up this hour, 21—year—old 0sime brown came to the uk when he was four. he's due to be released on wednesday from jail. after being convicted for robbery, attempted robbery and perverting the course ofjustice over the theft of a mobile phone, under the controversialjoint enterprise law, the home office says he will then be deported back to jamaica. he's austistic and asked his mum if he would be able to catch a bus from jamaica to dudley to see her. we'll talk to her in the next half hour.

good morning. the number of people with coronavirus in england is nearly 16,000 higher than was previously reported, because of a technical glitch. public health england say the cases were not entered into the national computer system. they were added over the weekend, leading to a dramatic spike in the numbers, as frankie mccamley reports. the test and trade system has come under intense scrutiny as ministers try to assess the rate of spread of the virus. this wasn't helped when the virus. this wasn't helped when the government announced a technical issue that meant some cases last week were not recorded at the time. last monday, just over 4000 uk cases we re last monday, just over 4000 uk cases were confirmed. that rose to a then high ofjust over 7000 on tuesday. the following days the daily total remain stable, varying betweenjust under 7000 tojust remain stable, varying betweenjust under 7000 to just over. then over the weekend, public health england confirmed nearly 16,000 cases of

covid—19 in england had been missed last week. labour has criticised the government. the shadow health secretary wrote... this is shambolic, people across the country will be understandably alarmed. he has called for the health secretary matt hancock to come to the house of commons later to explain what happened. health officials have said of the it problem has been contained and the issue did not affect people receiving their test results. but it does mean people in contact with those testing positive were not approached when they should have been. the error comes at a tricky time for the government. it wants people to have confidence in track and trace, but this may hamper that. frankie macaulay, bbc news. 0ur health correspondent michelle roberts is here there are plenty of experts who say don'tjudge the spread of the pandemic by looking at the daily numbers. but now we've got 16,000 more positive cases, what does that

tell us about the spread of the virus? you need to look at the seven day rolling average, according to experts, to see what is happening. we do know this is growing. so we are on exponential growth, which means it is growing quite quickly, but it is not as fast as it was in the spring. although we have had of these extra cases due to this it glitch that weren't put on the system until the weekend, it doesn't actually change the general trajectory of how we are moving through this virus. it is important we all keep on top of it, we don't wa nt to we all keep on top of it, we don't want to end up back where we were in the spring, which is why experts are concerned. but at the moment we still have 2500 people in hospital, which is a lot lower than the numbers we were seeing in spring. that is encouraging, but people are watching the hospital numbers to see those don't increase quickly. in terms of us assessing where we are with this virus, it is better to look at the hospitalisations, the

deaths and also the 0ns survey plus the seven day rolling average figures? yes, we gather data from different places. all of those build a picture. at the moment we know it is increasing. there is more of the virus around, people are spreading it more. but is the rate of growth slowing? the rate of growth has been great —— going up. the r number is going up. and the numbers are growing every day by double. the next days will tell whether that is going to curb off, whether we are putting the brakes on or whether it is climbing up. let's talk to our political correspondent chris mason. this really speaks to how people trust the track, test and trace system and if we don't trust it and we are told to isolate, we might not do it? that is absolutely at the heart of this, yeah. that is why politically this matters, this cock

up politically this matters, this cock up bluntly there has been in data entry and how the system worked in these 15,841 cases, where yes, the person asking for the test got the result as they word expect, but their positive case was not added to their positive case was not added to the system, with the obvious consequence that firstly, the numbers that we were reporting every day towards the tail end of last month were lower than the reality, but secondly, and more crucially, the contacts of those positive cases we re the contacts of those positive cases were not traced as they should have been, at a time when the government knows, to a greater or lesser extent, we are all tiring on these restrictions on our lives, trundling towards winter and the expectation, as the prime minister said yesterday, that things will remain bumpy for quite a long time, an acknowledgement this morning from a cabinet minister, therese coffey, that yes, there was a real life consequence of not tracing those positive test results. for the number of people who haven't been through the process of deciding

whether they need to be contacted, to isolate or not, i recognise what you are saying, but the error has been picked up and it is being dealt with. i don't think there is anything we can change about history. we can only change how we make sure the sort of errors do not happen again in the future. quite strikingly, therese coffey couldn't tell us how many people needed to be traced as a result of that failure to trace when they should have been traced. nor how many had since been traced. in a later interview she did acknowledge the vast majority have now been tracked down. but of course crucially, they should have been tracked down sooner. in the meantime they have been potentially mingling around in the community with the virus. thank you very much, chris. chris mason. a doctor at the hospital treating donald trump for coronavirus has criticised the president, saying, "the irresponsibility is outstanding", after he left the hospital briefly to drive past supporters outside. the sudden appearance, which mr trump described on twitter as a "surprise for patriots",

came amid speculation his condition could be worse than admitted. his doctors say he could be allowed back to the white house today. but other medical professionals have warned it's much too early for him to be discharged. here's david willis. the us government's medical experts have advised coronavirus patients to stay in their room and only venture out if it's medically necessary. not this patient. accompanied by secret service agents in protective gear, president trump embarked on a slow drive around the walter reed medical center to wave to supporters who've maintained a vigil there since he was admitted three days ago. "great patriots", in his words, and whilst the president himself was wearing a face mask, few of them were doing the same. i love the job we're doing... he teased the trip on twitter after paying tribute to those who've been treating him. so, it's been a very interesting journey. i learnt a lot about covid. i learnt it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the ‘let‘s read the book‘ school.

and i get it. and i understand it. but some think he hasn't learnt enough. an attending physician at walter reed, drjames phillips, described the drive—by as an active political theatre that could cost the secret agents involved their lives, that "the irresponsibility is astounding". following several days of confusion and contradiction surrounding the president's condition, further details have emerged. despite saying his condition continues to improve, his medical team confirmed that his blood oxygen level dropped twice in recent days and that they gave him a steroid typically recommended only for the very sick. pressed about how their information had conflicted with that from the white house, the president's personal physician acknowledged he painted a deliberately rose—tinted picture of his patient‘s condition. i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president — that his course of illness has had.

i didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn't necessarily true. what is true is that the president is being aggressively treated with a cocktail of drugs. these include dexamethasone, a steroid tested in the uk, it works by calming the immune system but is rarely used on patients who are experiencing only mild symptoms of covid—19. and despite being on a five—day course of remdesivir, the president's doctors say he could be leaving hospital later today. with the president grounded, his democratic rival remains on the virtual campaign trail. five days after spending 90 minutes on a debate stage with president trump, joe biden has tested negative for the coronavirus. senior democrats say they hope the president's diagnosis will change his attitude towards the coronavirus, but that remains to be seen.

davis willis, bbc news, los angeles. so how risky was that decision of donald trump to take a drive—by in his motorcade? new york city epidemiologist dr syra madad gave this warning this morning. he is actually still infectious. he is still early in his cynical course of the disease. it's very mind—boggling that he is not even following his own institution's public—health of actually isolating and not exposing additional individuals. he is obviously in a closed quarter vehicle, windows are up closed quarter vehicle, windows are up with other individuals within the car, so he is potentially exposing others. it is a reckless type of behaviour. not only does it have health implications, epidemiological, clinicaland overall public health implications, certainly it was a bad idea. it was more of a public, more of a political stunt than anything, to

just really show that he is well. but he isjeopardising just really show that he is well. but he is jeopardising the health of many others. this really is a very alarming situation. and while his clinical care teams says he is doing well, he is clearly not out of the woods. we know that with covid—19, from the symptom onset to icu, it is about ten to 12 days, so he still has some time to see if he is actually out of the woods. based on the treatment, while there is a lot of ambiguity about his clinical course and what date he is in, based on the current treatments that he is being given, it seems as if he does have a more severe state of the illness. let's take a look at how the us news outlets are covering the president's illness. "i'll be back soon", says donald trump — the new york post's headline. they also quote his doctors as saying that the next 48 hours are critical. the la times says he's being treated with a powerful steroid, according to the white house physician who spoke yesterday. the new york times writes

it was inevitable that mr trump and his team would get the virus, because they assumed that rapid virus tests for everyone who entered the west wing each morning were substitutes for other safety measures, like social distancing and wearing masks. and the huffington post has a bold front page with a picture of the drug dexamethasone, writing that doctors not involved in the treatment of the president say the use of this drug indicates that his case of coronavirus is severe. let's speak now to greg swenson, from republicans 0verseas, which is a political organisation for us citizens living abroad. hello to you. what did you think about the car trip? look, i think your early guest described it as a political stunt, because it was a political stunt, because it was a political stunt. the president likes to do that kind of stuff. he is not the type of person that is going to be locked up in a room, or locked up u psta i rs be locked up in a room, or locked up upstairs in the white house either, so upstairs in the white house either, so it didn't surprise me. i think it

just showed that he is optimistic and that he is bouncing back. look, i knew the mainstream media, of course, and the left made a big deal about it, saying it is reckless. no, it is not the mainstream media and the left. it is doctors, it is physicians. wejust the left. it is doctors, it is physicians. we just heard an epidemiologist said it was a bad idea. talk to james phillips, a doctor at the place where president trump is being treated, said that every single person in the vehicle has to be quarantined for 14 days. they might get sick, they might die? yes, that is a lot of speculation. that doctor obviously is not a fan of the president. how do you know he is not a fan of the president? well, it's pretty clear from his statement. not at all. how is that clear? i don't know the person at all. exactly. so you don't know he is not a fan of the president? what iam is not a fan of the president? what i am saying is because you are a doctor and because you work at a

certain newspaper doesn't mean you don't have an opinion on the president. half the people will say it was reckless, the other half will say it was a patriotic act, a nod to his supporters, which it was. sorry, the us government's own medical advice is, if you have coronavirus, stay in your room unless you need to go out for a medical emergency. those are guidelines. i would not suggest for a minute that the president isjust suggest for a minute that the president is just another patient. when you've got coronavirus you are like all the other patients, you are not special, you are not not infectious because you are the president? right. and the president is in president? right. and the president isina president? right. and the president is in a position where yes to take risks. also, in fact his social security service, sorry, his security service, sorry, his security service, sorry, his security service agents, they also ta ke security service agents, they also take risks. they will probably rank this risk is a lot lower than stepping in front of a bollard. a

little perspective is important. —— mike infront little perspective is important. —— mike in front of a bullet. when he said in his video, i get it, i understand it, how do you think the fa ct understand it, how do you think the fact he now says he gets it will change the way he deals with it?|j don't think it will very much. i think the president was nodding to his health care team that probably he learnt a lot more about it specifically in terms of actual medications etc. look, there is nothing like being an actual patient in terms of ramping up on knowledge. but i don't think it will change his outlook, or how he will treat this. he has always tried to strike the right balance between taking it seriously and actions that will save lives and save people, but also saving livelihoods. he has had to strike that balance. it is important to maintain the confidence for the country to emerge from this crisis positively. he struck that balance.

i know there are critics on the left who would rather shut down the economy completely and have no new cases, but in terms of what we are all striving for, which is flattening the curve, the president has delivered on that. his messaging was not perfect in march and april. i thought those press conferences we re i thought those press conferences were long and meandering and didn't do him any service, but actually what he accomplished and what he did was good. this might be a chance for him to manage this better and i hope it does. when you expect him to go home and is when he is discharged crucial to his campaign? the election is early next month. that isa election is early next month. that is a great question. the sooner he can get back to the campaign trail the better for can get back to the campaign trail the betterfor him. tactically, obviously this is not good news to ta ke obviously this is not good news to take him out for ten to 14 days. but there is still plenty of time left in terms of getting back to live events and campaigning. the president is a type a personality, he wants to get out of the hospital

as soon as possible. there is a possibility he will get out today, but i wouldn't count on it. i will play that by year. the president is very anxious to get back. he is very high energy. he is definitely the type that wants to hit the road again andi type that wants to hit the road again and i think you will. thank you very much. you canjoin us later on the bbc news channel, where we'll be answering your questions on president trump us mike hill. i'll be joined by dr thomas gift, associate professor of political science at university college london, at 11.30 this morning. you can send in your questions by emailing yourquestions@bbc.co.uk, or tweet us using the hash tag bbc your questions. bars and cafes in paris will be closed for at least 15 days from tomorrow, as the french authorities try to combat a rise in covid—19 cases. restaurants will be allowed to stay open by introducing further safety measures, while universities in the capital have been told to halve the number of students. the city of marseille closed bars and restaurants last week.

david chazan is a reporter. he told us more about the new measures. hopefully... these new measures are being triggered because paris is now considered to be what the french authorities call in the maximum alert zone. that's because the number of cases is more than 250 per 100,000 inhabitants. 0ver number of cases is more than 250 per 100,000 inhabitants. over the weekend we saw that france reported nearly 17,000 new cases on saturday alone, which is the highest it's been since mass testing began in july after the lockdown. so there is considerable worry about what could happen over the next few weeks if the number of infections continues to increase.

rescue teams in france and italy are continuing to search for survivors from the flash floods caused by storm alex. at least four people have died and up to 20 are still missing, including a group of eight people who were seen being swept away. paul hawkins reports. this was the picturesque town of breil—sur—roya in the french alps. but four months of rain in just one day meant devastating landslides have cut off the town. translation: all i worry about is my kids down the valley. i can't reach them. i have medicine, i have everything i need to but it is stress, it is anguish. rescue efforts are concentrated here with roughly 1,000 firefighters backed by helicopters and the army, the french government declaring the wider region a national disaster zone. two hours' drive from here is the village of saint—martin—vesubie, population 1,400 — or at least, it was. it is also now cut off by the aftermath of storm alex,

so many are leaving. translation: i left with this, a nightgown, and there you go. this is what i have left. what i have on me is not mine. i don't have a car any more. we have anything any more, like half the village. translation: i was on the top floor of the hotel next to the river. i realised it had doubled in volume and then it spread out across the entire width of the hotel. it was scary. we could hear the creaking noises, the shaking because of the rocks hitting the walls, which were falling down, and being in the dark was even worse because we didn't know what was going on. many are being evacuated by helicopter here to the city of nice, 55km south, where aid is being packed and sent out of villages across the region. meanwhile, a 40—minute drive from here along the coast of italy, the city of ventimiglia is also cleaning up.

with shops and restaurants destroyed by the water, many are asking the government to declare a state of emergency. translation: look, it's quite a disaster. i had a lot of goods to throw away and for the whole market it is the same. it is a disaster. translation: this is the first time. i have never seen this before. i'm 45 years old and i have never seen that. 25 years i've been in the market and i have never seen that. with both france and italy's economies hit badly by the pandemic already, this is the last thing they needed. paul hawkins, bbc news. wildfires in the us state of california have now burned more than 1.6 million hectares this year, more than twice the previous record. the california department of forestry and fire protection said the state had so far seen more than 8,200 fires, resulting in 31 deaths and the destruction of over 8,000 buildings.

all 127 of the cineworld and picturehouse venues in the uk will close, temporarily, from thursday. also closing are the company's 536 us regal cinemas. it comes after another delay this weekend to the release of the nextjames bond movie, no time to die. the company says itjust doesn't have enough films to show potential audiences. more than 5,000 jobs are at risk at the company's uk venues. experts say the delay of bond is a huge blow. i thought bond would be the saviour, i have to say, that last minute he would defuse the bomb as he normally does, and save the world and save cinema. i still think he could have done it, to be honest. he could have had a good long run, he could have been here over christmas, been the only show in town, but sadly that is not going to happen. what british cinemas need is a british product. the cinemas we have seen successful around the world, in china, korea, they thrive on local product.

people want to go and see films that reflect their own culture. bond was perfect for that, for british screens. american and british fighterjets have been flying off the royal navy's new aircraft carrier for the first time. hms queen elizabeth is on herfinal exercise in british waters before she sets sail early next year for her first operational deployment. it is the largest number of f—35 stealth jets on any carrier in the world today. after a gap of ten years the royal navy is back in the business of flying fast jets off navy is back in the business of flying fastjets off and aircraft carriers. the bbc, invited on board hms queen elizabeth, to witness for the first time the carrier launching and landing both british and american f 35 jets. and landing both british and american f 35jets. this is the future. the americans wantjets that

will be able to sail anywhere in the world. there are more american jets on board now than british ones. that may still be the case when the aircraft carriers sales on the first operational deployment next year. expected to be to the far east. but this is still the largest number of f35 this is still the largest number of f 35 stealth jets on any carrier in the world today. with eight merlin helicopters it is also the largest number of aircraft on a british carrier since the early 1980s. it's incredible to see. 15jets is still not close to the total mass we can take on this carrier but it is impressive and it is heartening to see where we are going. very exciting. having the experience of the americans support is phenomenal. it is allowing us to hit milestones that would take so much longer without them. we have been able to reach them for support for their experience, it allows us to be

operational and capable quicker than we would be on iswrong. russia's already provocatively describe the carrier is a large convenient target. the royal navy insists it will be well protected by a fleet of frigates, destroyers and supply ships, in this exercise that includes a us and dutch warship, as well as the american squadron of jets. so the question, who is in charge? so, the american squadron on board, as with the american ship and the dutch ship, will fall under the operational command of myself. so the brits are in charge, not the americans? this is a uk carrier. even though it has got more american jets? even though. the americans are currently conducting a defence review which will reshape the armed forces. the navy's to new carriers, expected to be in service for the next 50 years, are seen as part of that feature. none of this comes cheap. the two carriers cost more than £6 million —— £6 billion to

build. ajet has a price tag of around £70 million. and this at a time when the mod wants to spend more money to defend against the threats in space and from cyber attacks, as well as from land, sea and air. jonathan beale, bbc news, on board hms queen elizabeth. the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, confirmed she is self—isolating after coming in to contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. in a tweet, ms von der leyen said "i've been informed that i participated in a meeting last tuesday attended by a person who yesterday tested positive for covid—19. in accordance with regulations in force, i'm therefore self—isolating until tomorrow morning. i've tested negative on thursday and am tested again today." now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell hello. after what has been a weekend of basically relentless rain for some, a little bit of a breatherfor

the next few days. i can't promise you an entirely dry story, they will still be some showers around the same area of low pressure that brought all of the brain this weekend. that is still with us for the centre is pulling off into the north sea. for today a front in the west would bring more clout and some rain through the afternoon for northern ireland, wales and the south—west of england. the wet weather drift further eastwards through the evening. showers further east interspersed with some sunshine. 0vernight the weather front will track towards southern scotland, sitting across northern england first thing on tuesday. a few showers further south, mild enough night, temperatures in double figures. a tuesday, the best of the sons and probably across eastern scotla nd sons and probably across eastern scotland and the north east of england. towards the west of the greater risk of some showers. to the south, thundery showers with blustery winds.

hello, this is bbc news with victoria derbyshire. the headlines... questions over how and why16,000 coronavirus cases were missed out of the official figures last week. the error has been picked up and it is being dealt with. i don't think there's anything we can change about history, we can only change how we make sure these sort of errors do not happen again in the future. president trump is criticised after taking a ride in a motercade to greet supporters outside the medical centre where he's being treated for coronavirus. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus.

i learned a lot about covid, i learned about it by going to school, this is the real school, not reading the book school. i get it and i understand it. rescue operations are stepped up in france and italy after storm alex brings torrential rain and flash floods bars in the french capital paris will be closed from tuesday as part of new restrictions to tackle the spread of the coronavirus. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally. good morning, victoria. thank you. the premier league has thrown up some remarkable results since it resumed, but nothing quite like what we saw yesterday, with liverpool and manchester united conceding thirteen goals between them in two extraordinary games. alex gulrajani reports. it was a day to forget for the country's two most successful clubs, but one their opponents won't in a hurry. especially aston villa striker 0llie watkins. in only his third

premier league game, the £28m summer signing grabbed a first half trick as champions villa took liverpool apart. dean smith's side looked far from the one that fought relegation last season. commentator: it's grealish for villa and it's a magnificent seven. 7—2, the final score. jurgen klopp said it best. we made too many mistakes, and massive mistakes obviously. who wants to lose 7—2? years ago, we told ourselves we wanted to create history. that was history tonight, but it was the wrong one. in manchester, an imperious tottenham ran riot, a quite remarkable feat given it was their fourth game in seven days. but time after time, manchester united's defensive frailties were exposed. a red card to martial made tottenham's task was made somewhat easier but truth be told, united's defence continued to help out. commentator: it's all going wrong for manchester united! spurs said them for six and 0le

gunnar solskjaer was hurting. it's the worst day of my career as a man united manager, it's probably the worst day for probably all of these players as well. everyone makes mistakes and today we made loads in the same game, and that shows in the result. it might cost a few pennies for united's chief executive, especially on transfer deadline day. alex gulrajani, bbc news. you have to wonder who he was texting. the transfer window closes tonight at 11pm. lots of manchester united fans hoping for a late flurry of activity for their club in the next 13 hours. rangers are still one point ahead of celtic at the top of the scottish premiership, after both enjoyed 2—0 wins. rangers at home to ross county. and celtic at stjohnston, thanks to two late goals — one from leigh griffiths, on his first appearance of the season, as he returns to match fitness. english golfer mel reid said she'd redeemed herself

after winning her first title on the american tour. she took the shoprite classic in newjersey by two shots with a final round of 67. last month reid squandered a good chance of victory on the last day of an event in portland. she said winning this one was a huge relief. what a trophy! that is all the support from me. victoria. —— that is all the sport. research by a charity suggests more than 670 homeless people died in the uk in 2019. the study by the ‘museum of homelessness' found almost 40% were living in some form of temporary accommodation. rachel stonehouse reports. what was george like as a brother? he was everything that you would wa nt he was everything that you would want ina he was everything that you would want in a big brother. loyal, he was funny. i know some people don't really get on with their siblings

but i was always very, very close to george. i adored him. george died while staying in a hostel called wick house in bristol which claimed to offer support for addiction and mental health. george was very intent on getting over his addiction and to that end, not for the first time, he stopped drinking completely and there was ultimately no alcohol in his system when he died. but he appears to have had a seizure during the night that he died. george was found ina the night that he died. george was found in a pool of blood, with injuries to his face and neck. the police initially thought he might have been murdered but a postmortem recorded his death is sudden, unexpected death and alcohol misuse. but almost four years on, his family are still searching for answers. there wasn't any support, largely, these people are left to their own devices. we've been to a certain extent in limbo as well over the yea rs extent in limbo as well over the years because extent in limbo as well over the

yea rs because we extent in limbo as well over the years because we didn't have the closure. to me, it seems in that area, vulnerable people with alcohol addiction, it is a bit of a grey area and people are exploiting that. in response the charity told us the number of deaths was comparatively low and people with addictions live a precarious existence. they also said they could not have monitored residents over time. following a charity commission investigation, which house is now run by any organisation but i've discovered similar stories across the country like the shuttleworth hostel in london, which has more than 100 rooms. in 2019, there were three deaths here in the space ofjust two months and like wick house in bristol, concerns have been raised about the conditions inside. john and nigel, two former residents wa nted and nigel, two former residents wanted to share their experience of living there but john wanted to share their experience of living there butjohn did not want to show his face. my room was a bathroom. in as much as what had happened, they took the bat out and

stuck a bed in it. it was not a home at all. it was summer to put your head at the end of the day. when nigel was there, decomposing body was found. three or four days, it had been rotting there, there was a guy in the room next to it, he could smell it, there has to be something done, an investigation. in response, the management of the shuttleworth hostel told us it meets all laws governing temporary accommodation and does not tolerate violence or aggression among residents. a project called the museum of homelessness has been recording the number of deaths of people living on the street and in hostels. 40% of those who died were living in temporary accommodation. there is a great deal of variety in the kind of support that people are receiving, some places are commissioned through local authority funding but some are kind of privately run, particularly in cities where there is not so much accommodation available. people are

very often warehoused together and that can lead to all sorts of problems and there's been huge cuts to homelessness services over the last ten years and that has created a real issue and we are seeing, sadly, rising numbers of people dying in temporary accommodation, that's what we found it our research. i think the government really needs to get to grips with it because they're not, at the moment. councils in england spent more than £1 billion on temporary accommodation last year and concerns have also been raised about the lack of regulation in parliament. for the families affected, they say they won't give up. as long as i haven't got the answers, i haven't got the inquest, the answers about the death of my brother that i need, i've got no intention of ever stopping. rachel stonehouse, bbc news. well, one mp who's raised this in parliament is kerry mccarthy, the labour mp for bristol east, where wick house is based. hello to you. why is there no regulator for homeless hostels or supported housing? if you have

people in care homes, the care quality commission regulates that. these are vulnerable people. but yet there is no regulation, there is no good reason why it should not be regulated. i certainly think it should. i've got a ten minute rule bill coming forward next month that will seek to regulate this sector. you have obviously been involved with what happened at wick house, now new management. rachel told us about shuttleworth hostel in london which told us it meets all laws governing temporary hostels. yet a decomposing body was found there, having been there for several days? how do you react to that? these are places where there is an in enhanced rate of housing benefit, you cannot tell me they are properly supporting residents if they don't notice someone has been dead for several days, in this case it sounds considerably longer so there not support there, there's all sorts of

reports of abuse, enforcement, people cannot pay their rent, and is like drug dealing, and i've gathered accou nts like drug dealing, and i've gathered accounts from colleagues across the country. this isn't a problem that is isolated to any particular area. we've got places like shuttleworth, like wick house, but you've got it happening on a much smaller scale as well. the government says and i quote we are clear all supported housing must be of good quality and meet the needs of the vulnerable people it supports. we are working closely with councils and relevant partners to develop a range of measures to help ensure that oversight is strengthened. does that give you any reassurance? i've met the minister last year. who is fairly local to bristol. he had taken a real interest in wick house. but at the time, the response from the government was that we need to encourage best practice, we need to share information about how councils can sort of spread this good practice. good practice works if

someone who is providing this accommodation is the best of intentions. the good providers will sign up to voluntary codes stop its the people that are operating below the people that are operating below the radar that have no interest in anything other than getting this extra housing benefit money in. these higher rents that they've been charged. they are the people who won't be caught by the voluntary approach and i don't think the government approach goes far enough. i'm trying to chase for a response as to how the review, they been trying to do for the last year or so, has been going but i do think the answer is regulation which means passing something into law. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. the mum of an autistic man fears her son will die if he is deported to jamaica. 0sime brown will be released from prison this week after being sentenced in 2018 for robbery, attmpted robbery and perverting the course ofjustice over the theft of a mobile phone with a group of friends. the 21—year—old was convicted under the joint enterprise law and is now

facing deportation to the caribbean island he left when he was four. a petition calling for 0sime brown's deportation to be stopped has more than 100,000 signatures. 0sime's motherjoan martinjoins me now from her home in dudley, alongside her husband milton. it may just be it mayjust be you, joan! thank you so much for talking to us. how is your son and when was the last time your son and when was the last time you spoke to him? hello, milton. hi, how are you doing. i'm all right, thank you for talking to us. joan, please go ahead. thank you for having me. i spoke to my son on tuesday. no, yesterday, i'm sorry. i make a mistake. i was talking to him yesterday. he is a bit more happy now at the moment. but still

anxious. and frustrated. and just, that's it, he'sjust... anxious. and frustrated. and just, that's it, he'sjust. .. and he anxious. and frustrated. and just, that's it, he'sjust... and he is due to be released this week from jail. do you have a date for his deportation to jamaica? they haven't given usa deportation to jamaica? they haven't given us a date. but they have made a u—turn. which i am happy about. because he will be released home, which, it is bittersweet, because he is coming home but the deportation still stands, the deportation order still stands, the deportation order still stands. it is not like the battle is over. we still have to fight. for him not to be deported. he knows nothing about jamaica. he has no connection. he has no link there. so, i am has no connection. he has no link there. so, lam his only family has no connection. he has no link there. so, i am his only family he has. my family is in america and canada, my extended family. can you

tell us about his condition? when was he diagnosed with autism? he was diagnosed 2017. 2016, rather, i'm sorry. but they knew about it from he was a child. i have been knocking on doors. i have been asking the school, asking social services, asking everyone, i've been to the doctor. they say the school is the best place to assess him. they did not. they looked at his behaviour is disruptive. and they called him attention seeking, rude. it's well documented, his behaviour, and it's well documented that they think he is autistic. but they refused to look after him. they refused to help

him. can you tell me if your son understands what this deportation order means? in practical terms? certainly not. he could not understand when he ask, if they took me to jamaica, fat bus will i have to take to come and see you in deadly? he could not have an understanding of the world around him. iwent understanding of the world around him. i went to see him last tuesday. and he said to me, they knew in the prison about what is going on. so they are telling him that he is going to go on a plane and so forth. so we was talking and he just came out of the blue, and said to me, ma'am, when! out of the blue, and said to me, ma'am, when i go on the plane can i ta ke ma'am, when i go on the plane can i take another plane to spain? come on! spain! my husband was welling

up. he was saying, spain, you cannot go to spain! you will have to have a visa or a passport to go to spain. so he said to my husband, does that meanl so he said to my husband, does that mean i cannot come back to england, then? andl mean i cannot come back to england, then? and i have to be honest with him. isaid then? and i have to be honest with him. i said if they deport you, you cannot come back. it looks like the light, when you are turning off a bulb, that is how, everything is draining from him when i told him that. so, it's sad. there will be some who say he was given a five year sentence for robbery, attempted robbery and perverting the course of justice. and if you were born in another country and you commit a crime like that and you have that kind of sentence, then deportation isa kind of sentence, then deportation is a risk and that is now what is coming to pass with your son. what would you say to those people?

coming to pass with your son. what would you say to those people ?|j told them they really misunderstood what is going on here. he was let down by the system. the victim friend said he did not do it but you have to go with what the law said but i have some good lawyers now and everywhere, the injustice is, it will be found out. and we know that itjust not will be found out. and we know that it just not happen will be found out. and we know that itjust not happen like that because people do create their own narratives. we may deny it. but it happened. if you look in prison, there's a lot of black people more than their white counterparts that has been put into prison. there are 40% of children in care, that is in prison, so there is something wrong. and we need to see what is wrong and to try and correct it. what would you say, if the home secretary,

priti patel was watching now, what would you say to her directly?” would you say to her directly?” would say to her, first of all, as a mother, or as a woman, a lady in office, please, look into my son '5 case, i need a public inquiry into whyte my son has led to this path come up under the age of 16 my son has never had a criminal record and asa has never had a criminal record and as a mother, have been begging, have been knocking doors, and no one listening to me. no one! and i think it's because, he is black, and nobody looks at him, all they see is black, they don't see the need, this isa black, they don't see the need, this is a vulnerable child that needs to be looked after. they did not help me. victoria. they did not do

anything for him. it is well documented. the home office say they cannot comment further legal proceedings are ongoing. but do you have hope or faith that this deportation order will be stopped? with the hostile environment and with people not using the moral law which is love and a good heart and to look into these cases, where they put robbery and they put attempted robbery, it's a misdemeanour but they amplify it and turn it into something that is like something, like he had a knife. like he would make threats, nothing like that because i wasn't there but i have to go on based on the weakness that was

there. —— the witness that was there. —— the witness that was there. we said that he did not do it. they are lying. she said in court that this is racial profiling. the victim is my friend. i don't know... i would the victim is my friend. i don't know... iwould not the victim is my friend. i don't know... i would not tell a lie. and my friend. he did not do it. but they did not believe the witness. and i think that is a big let down for the justice system and the court. so you say he should not be in jail in court. so you say he should not be injail in the first court. so you say he should not be in jail in the first place, this was a miscarriage of justice? in jail in the first place, this was a miscarriage ofjustice? 0k. joan, thank you, thank you very much for talking to us. we will keep reporting on this case and thank you to milton as well. we appreciate, milton, thank you and take care. we will keep reporting on the case. thank you so much. take care. goodbye. you're very welcome. joan and milton martin, on the case of

son, 0sime. the headlines on bbc news... questions over how and why 16,000 coronavirus cases president trump is criticised for taking a ride in a motorcade outside the hospital where he was treated. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus. more now on our top story this morning, that nearly sixteen thousand people who tested positive for coronavirus in england weren't entered into the test and trace system, because of a technical glitch. although the people who tested positive were informed, there was a delay in tracing their contacts, who may have been exposed ot the virus. it also meant the cases were omitted from last week's daily figures for the uk, leading to dramatic spike in numbers over the weekend. i can discuss this more with paul hunter who's a professor of medicine at the university of east anglia. good morning to you. how do you

react to this? it's quite disappointing. it would not be unusual to find occasional slip—ups and errors in any system like this but for one quite so substantial it's very disappointing. ok. what does it tell us about how the system functions? we don't actually really know what went wrong with the system. in theory, any laboratory test that's should be automatically bites on computer algorithm, reported to the test, track and trace central database reported to the test, track and trace central data base and reported to the test, track and trace central database and be included in the dataset. we don't know why that did not happen. but, as you say, one of the big concerns is that individuals who are contacts of these cases, won't necessarily have known that they've actually beenin have known that they've actually been in contact. and also, people

who get a positive result, although, you can fairly easily find out in the media that you should as soon as you have a positive result, selflessly, i think one of the important things about test, track and trace is that when you are contacting people you are actually reinforcing the message that people should self—isolate and if that reinforcement wasn't happening because the test, track and trace system wasn't getting to hear about these results, then it's quite plausible that people will have been continuing to expose others as well. so if there are 16,000 positive tests, imagine how many tens of thousands of contacts that involves? which means that this technical glitch, which makes it sound almost anodyne, actually, is leading to the spread of the virus? indeed.

absolutely. you are quite right. the number of individual contacts that people have can't be just one or two but it can actually be very many. and for that to be delayed, especially when you consider that the disease is most infectious, around about the time that people develop symptoms, so the time gap that you have to let people know that you have to let people know that they should self—isolate, contacts, is quite short. and certainly, a large number of people will have continued to be wandering around, potentially infecting other people during the last few days. do you think it leads to a loss of trust in the whole system?” you think it leads to a loss of trust in the whole system? i think it certainly will do. one of the issues as many people have said on

your programme, when you're expecting a large group of people like the uk population, to make major changes to their lifestyles, they have to have trust in what is being told to them, is actually the case and anything like this, that undermines trust, will have a negative impact on people's behaviour and preparedness to do the right thing. are you one of those experts that says we shouldn'tjudge the spread of the pandemic by looking at the daily numbers anyway? 0bviously, looking at the daily numbers anyway? obviously, the 16,000 missing tests have been added to our numbers which means we saw a huge spike at the weekend but are you one of those who says actually, that's not the best way ofjudging the spread of this? we should look at the 0ns survey or hospitalisations etc.” we should look at the 0ns survey or hospitalisations etc. i think we've got to look at everything. absolutely, just relying on daily reports isn't sufficient. we do know

that there are fairly substantial changes over the week and how many of these cases report and early on in the outbreak, we heard government officials and ministers talking about how things were looking good ona about how things were looking good on a monday only to see on the true state that the numbers had jumped right up again. —— to see on the tuesday. it is a very important metric, amongst all the other metrics that you should be looking at. certainly in the last few days, we've been hearing that case numbers aren't necessarily increasing as rapidly as we had feared. but if some of that reassurance was because actually the glitch in reporting the cases, that does undermine our faith in the system as a whole, certainly. there are some, for example, the labour mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham who says we should just

have a local test, track and trace, we should actually have boots on the ground, people knocking on doors in specific postcodes in order to make this, somewhere near a world beating test, track and trace system but what do you think? i think is absolutely 100% right. why aren't what do you think? i think is absolutely 10096 right. why aren't we doing that? well, that is the question. the decision was taken to run this as a national system. i think, and i think that was a mistake. we come in this country, have had a very effective infectious disease surveillance system, run at a local level, not just disease surveillance system, run at a local level, notjust local government people like environmental health officers, but also local public health teams, whether they've been based in the local authority or in the nhs. and we should really have used that as our main focus for contact tracing and i think it's a shame that we did not. thank you

very much for talking to us. thank you. my pleasure. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. hello. after a weekend of relentless rain, something drier to take us into the start of the new week. a little drier, it will be completely dry, further showers on the way but they should at least be interspersed with dry intervals and hopefully a bit of brightness. this swirl of cloud is the remnant of storr alex, the same low and heavy rain, devastating rain in parts of france and northern italy through the weekend, many parts of southern britain saw a man worth of rainfall injusta britain saw a man worth of rainfall injust a few britain saw a man worth of rainfall in just a few days. rain to come for wales and northern ireland into the afternoon, solid cloud, the remnants ofa afternoon, solid cloud, the remnants of a weakening weather front, the centre of the low pulling into the north sea, showers clipping into eastern scotland and across eastern counties of england through the

afternoon but at least, some drier interludes. the front continues its journey eastwards into the small hours of tuesday, wetter weather for western scotland and across northern england and into east anglia for a time. with clear skies across northern scotland, perhaps a little chillier here but overall a mild night, temperatures in height single figures, low double figures. for tuesday, the loan centre is out in the north sea. the chance of gusting winds to the south of the uk, particularly close to the channel, through the north, the wind is lighter, for scotland, quite a lot of fine weather, showers in the west, dry and bright in the east but i think showers through the course of the day will affect northern ireland, for england and wales, particularly heavy, with the risk of thunder as well. wednesday, the low pressure centre drifting a little bit closer to scotland, and the isobars tighten stop i think generally more blustery day across the board on wednesday. try it for many parts of england, wales, northern ireland, the risk of showers and exposed western regions

but for northern scotland, a chance of persistent rain and the reason it's quite to the south on wednesday is because we are looking at this building and ahead of it, there will bea building and ahead of it, there will be a little bit of a ridge of high pressure but through thursday and friday, at the moment art model is picking up the possibility of another dee area of low pressure at some stage, developing to the south of the uk. a bit like what hasjust gone but pinning down the detail is proving difficult at the moment but we are keeping a close eye on it. expect a more accurate forecast towards the end of the week.

this this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president trump is criticised after taking a ride in a motercade to greet supporters outside the medical centre where he's being treated for coronavirus. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus. i learned a lot about the covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it and i understand it. questions over how and why 16,000 coronavirus cases were missed out of the official figures last week. it has been picked up and it is being dealt with. i don't think there's anything we can change about history, we can only change how we make sure these sort of errors do not happen again in the future.
