this is bbc news. the headlines an investigation is launched after 16 thousand coronavirus cases in england were unreported last week because of an error. the health secretary says that tens of thosuands of people lessons will be learned. are still unaware that they've been this incident should never have exposed to coronavirus after a major happened but the team have acted failure in the track and trace system. swiftly to minimise its impact. a computer glitch means many who and now it is critical that we work came into contact with around 16,000 together to put this right to make people who have covid have yet to be told. sure that it never happens again. the health secretary has the latest covid figures ordered an investigation. released today show a further 12 thousand, this incident should five hundred and ninety four never have happened, new infections have been but the team have acted swiftly to minimise its impact. recorded, and 19 deaths. now it is critical that we work together to put this right doctors criticise president trump and to make sure that it for leaving the hospital where he is being treated never happens again. for coronavirus, to wave to supporters gathered outside. thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed cinemas in crisis — to covid, potentially spreading this

as the latest bond film deadly virus at a time when hospital is postponed until next year — admissions are increasing cineworld announces its temporarily and we are in the second wave. shutting all its cinemas in the uk. around half the cases while odeon say it will cut opening are in the north west of england. hours to the weekends we'll have all the details. in a quarter of its cinemas. also tonight... bars in paris will be closed from tomorrow — as part of new restrictions to tackle the spread of the coronavirus. good afternoon, an investigation has begun into the error which meant that the close contacts of nearly 16 thousand people with coronavirus were not traced last week. public health england has blamed what it described as a "technical issue" — but the investigation will look the but the investigation will look backlog which was di

friday the backlog which was discovered on friday evening lead to huge rises in the number of new infections being reported over the weekend. the missed cases are understood to be mainly in the northwest of england. ministers have insisted the error and should never have been allowed to happen. speaking in the common the last hour matt hancock said the error had not altered the rate of infection. on friday night public health england identified that over the days 15,8111 test results were not included in the reported daily cases. this was due toa reported daily cases. this was due to a failure in the automated tra nsfer of to a failure in the automated transfer of files from the labs to bea transfer of files from the labs to be a cheese data systems. i want to reassure eve ryo ne be a cheese data systems. i want to reassure everyone that every single person who tested positive was told that result in the normal way in the normal time frame. they were told that they needed to self—isolate which is of course now required by law. however, these positive test

results were not reported in the public data and were not transferred to the contact tracing system. i wa nt to to the contact tracing system. i want to thank colleagues who'd been working since late friday night through the weekend to resolve this problem. and i want to set out the steps that we take in. first, contact tracing of these cases began first thing saturday. we brought in 6500 hours of extra contact tracing over the weekend. and i can report to the house that as of 9am today 5196 to the house that as of 9am today 51% of the cases have now been contacted 51% of the cases have now been co nta cted a 51% of the cases have now been contacted a second time for contact tracing purposes. iwant contacted a second time for contact tracing purposes. i want to reassure the house that outbreak control in ca re the house that outbreak control in care homes, schools and hospitals has not been directly affected. because dealing with outbreaks in these settings does not primarily rely on this particular pag system. second, the number of cases did not

flow through to the dashboards that we use both for internal and for external monitoring of the epidemic. over the weekend we updated the public dashboard and this morning that gbc presented to me their updated analysis of the analysis based on the new figures. the chief medical officer has analysed that oui’ medical officer has analysed that our assessment medical officer has analysed that oui’ assessment of medical officer has analysed that our assessment of the disease and its impact has not substantially change as a result of these data. and the jvc has confirmed that this has not impacted the basis on which decisions about local action were taken last week. nevertheless, this isa taken last week. nevertheless, this is a serious issue which is being investigated fully. i'd like to thank public health england and the nhs test and trace who've been working together at speed to resolve this issue. and i want to thank eve ryo ne this issue. and i want to thank everyone for their hard work over the weekend. mr speaker, this incident should never have happened but the team have acted swiftly to minimise its impact and now it is

critical that we work together to put this right and to make sure it never happens again. let's discuss all this with to our political correspondent nick eardley. i suppose the trouble is when you say something is world beating and your excel spreadsheets go wrong it sort of embarrassing.” your excel spreadsheets go wrong it sort of embarrassing. i think that's right ben and i don't think there are many ministers out claiming at the moment that the system built for track and trace is the world beating system that they promised back in and made we had the prime minister admitting that it wasn't as good as it could be. what we got from matt hancock was in assurance that the difference between the data last week and the dated now with those figures added and doesn't make a big difference to the restrictions that have been put in place in different parts of england. it would not when it radically alter the way some people have been told they have to live their lives. nevertheless it does two things, it really

undermines confidence in the system and the figures that were being given every day that clearly haven't been correct over the last few days. on top of that, there is that real—world mainly people yeah were positive and contacted they have to siphon ells or light but their contacts weren't then contacted by the track and trace system to be told they made to have to have to self—isolate. you also heard the health secretary saying that they brought in a lot of extra manpower to try to deal with those cases which were essentially forgotten. half of them have now tested positive have been contacted again to ask for those contacts. it's not clear how many of them have been contacted. it's also not clear what happened to the other half and whether they have now been approached by someone from the track and trace system. it doesn't mean that there could be people who should be self isolating who aren't. asi should be self isolating who aren't. as i say, that built into this

picture that the track and trace system is a really essential part of the government strategy just system is a really essential part of the government strategyjust isn't up the government strategyjust isn't up to strap at the moment. thank you very much. thank you very much. our head of stastics, robert cuffe, explains more about those missed coronavirus test results. it is a national problem but probably feels most acute if you're living in the north west yorkshire and humber where you have seen the largest absolute rise in the number of cases. i think we can show that to the audience and you can see that it is roughly, if you look at the number of cases that were reported for the week up to the 1st of october and how that evolved from friday night through to sunday night, when all the new cases were added in, the red area shows the additional, it is roughly doubling everywhere. between 90% and 130% increases so that is business as usual, test coming in from a wednesday or thursday over the weekend, but most of it is this glitch. it has mostly doubled everywhere, but doubling mean something

very different if you're in the north—west, where you are a seeing about 9000 cases a week compared to if you're had any south—east or south—west when it is closer to 1000. so it is not concentrated in one area, but when most of the cases are, the net result is that it has at the biggest absolute effect there and you have seen that any biggest rise we have seen in places like manchester. joining me now is danny dresner, a professor of cyber—security at the university of manchester. manchester now got the highest rate of cases in england. we heard today. what do you think it's gone wrong with the system? we are being told that it's really the use of an old file format on the x0 system. that it's really the use of an old file format on the xo system. well, that might be the final fault but it's the very fact that you're taking data from system to another into a spreadsheet presumably manipulating it within that spreadsheet and then expecting to

get the same integrity of results that you would from a fully try to trusted system. this sort of thing happens unfortunately, far too often. i remember there was a time where hmrc actually published a booklet saying is your spreadsheet destroying your business? 0n the basis that these are end user computing tools. they haven't been validated, the final result haven't been validated by people who will test the results. you can'tjust put tater into something and expect to get the right data out. you have to test and validate and check to make sure that's the case was up obviously, if they were using a system which couldn't handle that volume of data, the testing must have fallen rather short. a lot of people on social media have been saying it's quite surprising for a massive enterprise of this kind they are using some quite old x0 software. it's particularly worrying. from a security point of

view. because our worrying. from a security point of view. because oui’ own worrying. from a security point of view. because our own national security centre has the divide one of the biggest flaws are the biggest ways that you are actually vulnerable to cyber attack is if the system if you can imagine came under cyber attack and couldn't get to any of the data. one of the issues is not keeping your software up—to—date. all of the security holes which was manifested in old system don't get updated. so you're expected to move to the latest version never mind the fact that these new versions tend to be able to handle bigger volumes. it still comes down to being able to test that software that you've created. if you create a spreadsheet, you have programmed a piece of software. is this all because it's been done in quitea is this all because it's been done in quite a rush? understandably, or could've this been avoided?” in quite a rush? understandably, or could've this been avoided? i think it could've been avoided. i think people have too much confidence in their desktops. they don't realise their desktops. they don't realise

the responsibilities. we've seen it before. back in the financial crisis a couple of harvard professors identified the way that economies we re identified the way that economies were likely to go and people were starting to run their economies on that basis until a graduate student tried to recreate the information and found that they had an dragged and found that they had an dragged and dropped all the data into the right spreadsheet. as a result of which were giving the wrong advice. there's even a british standard which kind of gives this kind of advice and tells you to set it up. do you think other countries are doing this better than us? we were just talking to a political correspondent this was originally supposed to be a world beating system. supposed to be a world beating syste m. h ow supposed to be a world beating system. how do you think our competitors are doing? we don't know what's behind the system. it could well be that they've just been lucky enough not to have had the software fault that we've seen. a lot of people are running around now saying this sort of thing is human error. there is no such thing about human

error in the situation. it's a systemic error of trying to glue two bits together with a spreadsheet which was not designed for that level of important data. sounds very technical gluing bits together. thank you very much indeed. president trump has been strongly criticised by medical experts after he briefly left the hospital where he is being treated for coronavirus to drive past supporters outside. his critics included a doctor at the hospital who described the move as ‘outstanding' irresponsibility, for potentially putting others in the car at risk. the sudden appearance came amid continued speculation about his condition. 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 act of political theatre that could cost the secret service 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 donald 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. there are still so many questions since that diagnosis. with so many in his senior team also contracting covid 19 — alot of focus has been on, how and when, the virus might have spread. the finger has been pointed at the ceremonial nomination

of amy conney barret as a supreme courtjudge last week —— which has been described as a super—spreader event. if you look at the the way people were seated at that rose garden gatheirng, president trump is on the podium and the first lady is in the front row. former white house cousellor, kellyanne conway and trump's campaign adviser chris christie, tested positive. christie was one of many attendees who were photographed shaking hands and talking without face masks. fatherjohn jenkins, the president of notre dame university in indiana, also tested positive, for the virus, one week after this event. republican senators, mike lee and tom thillis also in the front rows have also tested positive. it should be noted that white house press secretary kayleigh mcena ny and we just brought you the breaking news that she has also tested positive for covid—19 —

was also at the event. it does seem it was a super spreader event although we don't know for sure. the headlines on bbc news... an investigation is launched after 16 thousand coronavirus cases in england were unreported last week because of an error. the health secretary says it must not happen again. the latest covid figures released today show a further 12 thousand, five hundred and ninety four new infections have been recorded, and 19 deaths. doctors criticise president trump for leaving the hospital where he is being treated for coronavirus, to wave to supporters gathered outside. all bars and cafes in paris will be closed for two weeks from tomorrow — after the french government raised the alert level in the capital to the highest level. restaurants and bars selling food as well as alcohol will be able to stay open,

but will have to introduce further safety measures. universities are also being told to halve the number of students present on campus at any one time. hugh schofield reports. the news from paris is not good. covid infections are up, above 250 per 100,000 people which means the city has hit a higher alert level and automatically new measures are going to kick in. translation: the measures are meant to put the brakes on. the epidemic is going too fast. we have to slow it down so that our health system is not overwhelmed. the headline news is that bars and cafes are going to shut completely for two weeks from tomorrow. they were already having to close doors at ten o'clock but that hasn't been enough to stop the virus spreading. why are the authorities targeting bars and other drinking places? well, the main vectorfor covid,

it is reckoned now, is young people. young people gathering, young people intermingling and young people, often under the effects of alcohol, dropping their covid guard. there is some respite for the hard—hit hospitality trade. restaurants and bistros, which also expected to be told to shut, can stay open, if they observe new rules of a maximum six to a table and masks on all the time except at the moment of eating. young people are also targeted at paris universities which have been told that lecture halls must now only be used at 50% capacity. parisians are sceptical about the bar closures but resigned. i'm not, i mean, surprised that my average age is the most contaminated, i don't know. ithinkjust, like, people are still living like nothing is happening, you know? so, that's why i don't think that closing the bars is going to make a difference. paris nowjoins marseille at what they call in france a state of maximum covid alert. if things deteriorate further,

the next level is a state of health emergency. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. northumbria police have confirmed that three students in newcastle died in what may have been drug related incidents over the weekend. a fourth man died in sunderland. ten people have been arrested. earlier, our correspondent fiona trott gave us the latest. well, the first student was found early on saturday of a morning, an 18—year—old girl. she was a student at newcastle university and northumberland police say is it believed she had taken ketamine. the next day, another 18—year—old student died after being found at the same address, and then in another part of the city, northumbria police say that a 21—year—old student who was at northumbria university was found collapsed in the city at a different address. he was taken to hospital and died later. it is understood police are investigating the fact he may have taken mdma.

he was 21 years old, and northumbrian police say right now with both universities at the moment, we are trying to find out more information, there are increasing patrols in the area, there will be searched student accommodation in the city over the weekend too. you mentioned another person in washington, in sunderland, who also died at the weekend. he was 18 years old. police believe he may have ta ken mdma. the police force say that its thoughts are with the family and friends of all those who died at the weekend. four young people on saturday and sunday. it is distressing news in newcastle for those three students in that student community who have lost their lives, it is distressing at this time, when you have over 800 students collectively at both

northumbria and newcastle universities who have tested positive for corona and a lot of nervous students at the moment, a lot of nervous parents dropping off their children at university, and both of those universities in newcastle are saying they are supporting students and families at this time. the chancellor rishi sunak has promised to create opportunity for people facing an uncertain future because of the coronavirus pandemic. in his speech to the virtual conservative party conference, he said he would use the ‘overwhelming might of the british state' to help people find new work. but he also pledged to balance the books after months of unprecendented spending. here's our political correspondent chris mason. elbow pumps and jaunty looking creatures from the deep. the chancellor was an edited music company this morning. behind the smiles he factored in an

unprecedented economic crisis in modern time. and being seen as a future prime minister. so it was noticeable how right at the start of his speech he heaped praise on the current one. yes it's been difficult, challenges are part of thejob. but on difficult, challenges are part of the job. but on the big difficult, challenges are part of thejob. but on the big cause difficult, challenges are part of the job. but on the big cause and the job. but on the big cause and the big moments borisjohnson has got it right and that is the leadership that we need. because we are only partway through this crisis. with the furlough scheme ending in weeks and it's less generous success or starting next month the chancellor acknowledged again he can't protect everyjob and every business. but he said...|j again he can't protect everyjob and every business. but he said... i am committing myself to a single priority to create support and extend opportunity to as many people asi extend opportunity to as many people as i can. because even if this moment is more difficult than any you have ever faced, moment is more difficult than any you have everfaced, even if it feels like there is no hope, i am telling you there is. and the

overwhelming might of the british state will be placed at your service. talking of which, mr so, still proud of the eat out to help out scheme. definitely no regrets he tells the sun today after the prime minister suggested it may have helped spread the virus. richie sue neck has called this place 11 downing st home since february. and a favourite among conservative grassroot and indeed others. again if you are helping to pay the wages of millions of people, i'm picking up of millions of people, i'm picking up some of the tab for millions of people over the summer little wonder if you end up becoming popular. the real challenge will come when the bills have to be paid. and listen carefully to this next bit. a hint of tax rises or spending cuts or both to come. we have a sacred responsibility to future generations to leave the public finances strong.

and through careful management of our economy, this conservative government will always balance the books. the towering challenges for this still new chancellor aren't going away. not a decision we made lightly. that is the word from the boss of sin a world in the united states and uk indefinitely. this all screen shot down from this thursday and that puts five and half thousand jobs here in the uk at risk. odeon has just confirmed it will cut hours of some cinemas to weekends only from friday to sunday and as the prime minister today urged people to return to the cinemas the latest delay of the next james bond return to the cinemas the latest delay of the nextjames bond movie is once again depriving cinemas of the big box office draw and being blamed for the hardship and part of the cinemas are now facing.

wolverhampton main cinema. 1a screens here but soon to be mothballed like the rest of the scene world chain. the company suspending its operations on thursday putting nearly 6000 jobs at risk. our first reaction was one of shock that employees who worked for city world and indeed picture house first heard about the potential closure. through social media and the sunday papers yesterday. that's really not the way that they should be hearing about their future employment. cinemas have taken a big financial hit and this pandemic. and it hasn't been easy for them to entice customers back after lockdown. even with all the new precautions in place. it doesn't seem somewhere that you go in a pandemic. you got to where you mask. it's not a bother but it's not the same experience. having suites popcorn. it's been a long time. we

mostly watch netflix now. james bond... james bond was supposed to come to the rescue. cinemas rely on big movies for most of their income. this blockbuster was due to come out next month but it was delayed until next month but it was delayed until next year. the final straw for sinner world. people want to go and see films that reflect their own culture. bond was perfect for that for british greens. we don't really have a big british blockbuster coming up that's going to get every brit out off the sofa work. that's the problem with people back at home they don't want to wear their mouse they don't want to wear their mouse they want to watch things on there so far. and will they get adequately provided for other streaming services. this is a big problem for cinemas now. they say their business is unviable without blockbusters to lure people back. it lost more than £1 billion in the first six months of this year. not all the cinema chains are in the same situation in

terms of financial vulnerability. in sinner world unfortunately does appear to us to have been the most vulnerable even before the pandemic struck. as i say, expansion drove a very big rise in debt and it's been burning cash for months. it's not clear when it's venues will reopen after what will likely be a long winter of hibernation. our business correspondent emma simpson has more.let‘s speak now to tim richards —— we were hearing that report there aren't any blockbusters coming up james bond is not writing to the rescue people would rather sit on the couch and watch streaming services. what is the future of cinema? the future of cinema is a very exciting one. the problem that we have right now is an industry

thatis we have right now is an industry that is how we get through the next few months. as an industry if you look back at what happened the last few years, look back at what happened the last few yea rs, last look back at what happened the last few years, last year in particular, we broke records everywhere. the biggest box office year in history, globally $43 billion biggest box office year in history, globally $113 billion because movie of all—time, biggest r—rated movie of all—time, biggest r—rated movie of all—time, biggest r—rated movie of all time, as a company we had set records ourselves. we have the biggest trading. right through until the end of february and then covid hit. so i think what happened on friday was unexpected. and extremely disappointing because as an industry, we had been opening up our cinemas in anticipation of big movies coming out. we've been trading our staff, investing in cinemas, investing in safety and our customers are desperate for movies. i think if you were to ask most people, what they're going to do when the doors open up, it's not

roll on the couch and he was on netflix or amazon that night. they wa nt to netflix or amazon that night. they want to get out, they want to go out and see friends and enjoy something socially. they want to get out and see something to see but if there isn't and they ran to her mouse, a beat they don't. the prime minister said we could have some really bumpy times right through to the spring. we heard cineworld is shutting down for the moment. are you can be able to survive for the next few months? the prime minister very kindly spoke about the importance of going to the cinema. and i think that's the one pa rt cinema. and i think that's the one part that isn't really discussed that much. we are a part of the social fabric that much. we are a part of the socialfabric in that much. we are a part of the social fabric in communities. where anchor tenants. we drive people into high street, drive customers into shopping centers. more importantly, we are a social help. we are a place where people can come safely. and all of the work that we have done over 80% of our customers that have been visiting us since we been open

are happy, they are comfortable with the safety side that we have taken. they would recommend it to their friends and family to go and see a movie at one of our cinemas. the problem is right now is we do not have any movies. we have the short—term issue. it's how we actually get through to what looks like an incredible year in 2021. referred about cineworld shutting down, what are you doing? what measures are you taking? are you restricting your opening? we are very busy. a lot of calls with a lot of teams across right now really working through what our options are. there are some things you can plan for and others that are more difficult. we had actually banked on bond. we were disappointed when disney pulled a black widow. but bond we thought being okina personally and professionally was disappointed. i saw that last trailer i got really excited to see that movie, it looks incredible. we

we re that movie, it looks incredible. we were disappointed. right now we aren't looking at all the options that are open to us. we are a big company and we can take a few blows. we came into this very conservatively into the covid very conservatively. if you look at the landscape in the country right now there's others that cannot withstand this. and i think you are going to see a large number, a very large number of cinemas closing. independence, regional cinemas, community cinemas. that's something that will take years to come back. very grim prospect. good luck to you and for all your staff. tim richards ceo of the cinema chain view. the queen has described the work of news media during the pandemic as vital. in a letter to the news media association, she said local and national outlets had become lifelines to the elderly and vulnerable and had provided trusted and reliable information at an uncertain time.

now it's time for a look at the weather good afternoon. after a thoroughly miserable weekend, today, in some ways, is an improvement. we're still under an influence of low pressure, yes, but it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. so far, most of the showers have been close to this weather front out to the west, particularly through northern ireland, parts of wales and south—west england. that's going to continue to be the case for the rest of the day. further inland, we'll have fewer showers, a little more sunshine coming through and, as a result, temperatures will be a degree or so up on yesterday, peaking between 13 and 17 celsius — that's 63 fahrenheit. the showers to the west, they will drift their way steadily eastwards overnight. fewer showers across north—east england and for parts of scotland. here, we're likely to see clearer skies and temperatures dipping just into single figures. but elsewhere, we're likely to see ten or 11 celsius to start our day on tuesday. tuesday, another day of sunny spells and scattered showers.

the showers should be few and further between on wednesday — potentially the best day of the week. that's it, take care. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. an investigation is launched after 16 thousand coronavirus cases in england were unreported last week — because of an error. the health secretary says that lessons will be learned. this incident should never have happened but the team have acted swiftly to minimise its impact. and now it is critical that we work together to put this right to make sure that it never happens again. the latest covid figures released today show a further 12 thousand, five hundred and ninety four new infections have been recorded, and 19 deaths. doctors criticise president trump for leaving the hospital where he is being treated for coronavirus, to wave to supporters gathered outside cinemas in crisis —

as the latest bond film is postponed until next year — cineworld announces its temporarily shutting all its cinemas in the uk. while odeon say it will cut opening hours to the weekends in a quarter of its cinemas. bars in paris will be closed from tomorrow — 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 olly foster. tammy abraham, jadon sancho and ben chilwell have been told that they can'tjoin up

with england today while the fa tries to ascertain if the trio pose a risk to the squad. abra ham has apologised after a surprise birthday party was thrown for him on saturday with a reported 20 people in attendance, breaking covid guidelines. sancho and chilwell were also there. in a statement, abraham says he was totally unaware of what was planned but says he would like to wholeheartedly apologise for the naivety shown by all. sancho has also taken to soical media to apologise. england play 3 matches in the next nine days starting with a friendly against wales on thursday manchester city's raheem sterling won't be involved. he picked up an injury in city's draw against leeds over the weekend and has withdrawn. it's transfer deadline day. arsenal are being linked with a move for atletico madrid midfielder thomas partey. the ghanaian has a release clause of forty five million pounds. spanish football journalist guillem balague says partey would be a good fit for the gunners. what you've got is a midfielder with the ability to pass short and long with quality. very

intelligent and the way he moves. pressure is high, helps the team with high dynamism. it is something that he enjoyed doing in does very well. you're strong, fast as a midfielder and you've got a lot to like from him. one deadline deal of note, norwich defender ben godfrey has joined premier league leaders everton on a five year dealfor an initialfee of 25 million pounds. that could rise to 30 million pounds with add—ons for the 19 year old. the window shuts at 11 in england, midnight in scotland. all the deals are on the bbc sport website — remember it's deadline day for international deals and deals between premier league clubs, transfers between the premier league and football league are allowed until october 16th. they

geraint‘s thomas' hopes of winning the giro d'italia suffered a huge blow on just the third stage of the race. the briton started the day third in the standings, but crashed before the stage had properly got underway. he lost touch with the main group with 18 miles to go and finished more than 12 minutes behind stage winnerjonathan caicedo. fellow briton simon yates who was also expected to challenge for the overall lead lost more than four minutes. portugal'sjoao almeida has the overall lead. we're into the second week at the french open, quarterfinal places at stake. novak djokovic has just beaten karen kachanov. the world number one had another awkward moment with a line judge, accidentally hitting one in the face as he tried to return serve, very different though to when he was thrown out of the us open for recklessly hitting a ball that struck a line—judge. no other problems as he won in straight sets. djokovic will face pablo carrena—busta ,who benefiited from his expulsion at the us open, or daniel altmaier in the last eight.

greek fifth seed stefanos tsitsipas has reached the quarters in paris for the first time, he beat the bulgarian former world number three grigor dimitrov in straight sets at roland garros and will play the russian andrey rublev the two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova is through to the quarter—finals in paris for only the second time in her career. she beat zhang shuai in straight sets. next up for her is the unseeded german laura siegemund. whatever happens in paris, kvitova will break back into the world's top 10. ill be mostly about transfers, what can liverpool do about that shaky defence.

gary, what is the latest? is they're hoping. we're expecting some kind of details next few minutes perhaps his medical conditions and it's been brought up to the hospital. we hear the supporters getting very excited. another thing to let you know so you had another high—profile diagnosis of covid—19 inside the white house. the press press secretary, those worklist of the president with positive diagnosis are getting longer and longer by the day it is whatever really serious impact on the ability of the white house to operate at a high level. cannot be

traced back to the super spreader event of the white house, to mark the nomination of the new supreme court justice? the nomination of the new supreme courtjustice? i think it is inevitable that it will be the view taken because so many of the people that have gone down with it for at that have gone down with it for at that event on saturday when she was introduced and that event inside the white house and on the white house lawn. a lot of those people, kelly and conway was there, a number of senators who picked it up as well. the list continues and itjust shows you if that was the event, that this doesn't necessarily show up straightaway. the press secretary said she has been tested every day and it has been negative until today. we also stressed that she did not brief journalists today. we also stressed that she did not briefjournalists that she had the virus, that his an accusation thatis the virus, that his an accusation that is been thrown at her.

increasing numbers of people very close, right in the inner circle, right in the inner circle. donald trump is full of surprises and the latest one was to take a little spin in his motor cage pass to supporters outside the hospital and that is been pretty widely criticised. yes, it has. some of the doctors here at the hospital, not his doctors, but other doctors criticised that very publicly and very vocally. in many ways, i do not think you need to be a doctor to know that if you've got covid—19, really, the only people that should be exposed to you of those medical professionals who should be treating you with the precautions they take the risks that they understand. not a couple of people from the secret service in the front of your suv helping you do

a drive—by of a few supporters waving the banners. the dangerfor the president is that yes, sure. his opponents will criticise that and then he think he does, but the risk for him is the soft republican base, that soft vote in the suburbs that have already started leeching away ever since the midterm elections where they left him in mass in the suburbs, particularly the college—educated women in the suburbs. more will say, hang on admitted, it is one thing trying to put in an upbeat span of the nature of this pandemic, but literally putting other people at risk when you know you've got it, that will be a step too far for some people. thank you very much indeed.

french and italian rescuers have stepped up their search efforts after floods cut off several villages on the mountainous border, causing widespread damage and killing at least four people. others are still missing on the french side of the border after storm alex brought torrential rain, winds of 180 kilometres an hour, and flash floods. 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, but i'm not well. it's stress, it's 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 don't have anything any more, like half the village. the chancellor rishi sunak has promised to create opportunity for people facing an uncertain future because of the coronavirus pandemic. in his speech to the virtual conservative party conference, he said he would use the ‘overwhelming might of the british state' to help people find new work. but he also pledged to balance the books after months he said they would always balance the books, quite a statement when you've spent so much money and people have welcomed it, but when

will he balance the books are shallow he said clearly that we would do that over the medium—term. basically making the point that we cannot indefinitely keep borrowing and do everything we can to support people back into work and have a range of schemes and new interventions today. we cannot go on borrowing can definitely stop what is the medium term? is that within the life of this parliament? he will set that out at the next budget and thatis set that out at the next budget and that is what he would do early next year when we clear out the effective interventions that we have already made and we cannot go on borrowing indefinitely. balancing the books, whatever it is and i hear that you will not tell us when that is, but that means tax cuts. it's a conference speech. tax raises in spending cuts. means will have a balance of what we spend, borrow and

tax. very differentjudgements we make these decisions, but we've made commitments in the manifesto and we've gone through very unexpected experiences through covid—19 that have been very tough for the british people and would like to make decisions in the light of what we've experienced this year. balancing this books in the medium—term, we cannot do this without tax raises and spending cuts. got some choices to make and there will be the choice that the chancellor will make in the next budget and he says that there will be in the medium—term, the fundamental integrity to public finances. talking about the claim that the whole test entry system was going to be rolled up beating. you have seen it fall apart, haven't we? we have seen this fall apart and through a technical error with an xl spreadsheet and experts are saying why on earth is that or technology

being used in the first place. it is not exactly will be is it? is said that the technical issue that resulted in the database not transferring properly, those identified as a risk of the summer and that is something that been working on but he is taking steps to ensure that the won't happen again and it's in the regret very much. ensure that the won't happen again and it's in the regret very muchm the system road beating? has been identified overnight and we wish it had not happened, but obviously what we have to do is make sure it doesn't happen again and health and social care is set out to the house of commons. labour says it's in shambles. it is an error that we wish to correct as quickly as possible. what is going on in terms of your seeing in the country? do

you think they're working because we are seeing cases as ifjust discussed there, going up exponentially still. there is different pictures and parts of the country and that is what makes this such a challenging virus to manage because the spread of the virus is uneven and therefore, the message has to be different in different parts of the united kingdom which leads to confusion and frustration andi leads to confusion and frustration and i very much sincerely regret the confusion that exists. but it is a function of the different levels of the virus and the way that is evolving in different localities in the data that shows how that is moving is been leading us to act swiftly to ensure that it doesn't grow eve n swiftly to ensure that it doesn't grow even faster. if you work with the economy, what is the prognosis for the economy that the prime ministers talked about that is a bumpy ride potentially until the next six months or so we have been

talking this afternoon about cinemas shutting down because they cannot do it any more and perhaps the economy is grinding to a halt. it's very challenging for the economy and that's all we put the interventions, they have evolved. at the furlough scheme and the job support scheme of the summer and that we had additional support on how young people are vulnerable to losing theirjobs. so, we continue to look at ways to support the economy and we have made cheap loans available to small businesses and we had gra nts to small businesses and we had grants and other interventions, we will continue to look at ways we can support businesses as they seek to grow their way out of this challenging time. but obviously, we've got to take steps to suppress the spread of the virus where looks like that is happening. it will get worse before it gets better. like that is happening. it will get worse before it gets betterlj like that is happening. it will get worse before it gets better. i hope not, but obviously, the virus is a

very challenging phenomenon to contain and we are doing the very best and we hope to see progress week by week. good of you to join us, economic secretary, thank you for joining us, economic secretary, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. one of the cruellest effects of coronavirus has been its impact on the residents of care homes. an estimated 18—thousand of them died — according to amnesty international — and those who survived were cut off from their loved ones for weeks or even months. jayne mccubbin has been to meet some of them. life's not worth living, really. she just cries, and she'sjust saying, take me home. what do you say to your mum in those moments? erm... you been broken by this, haven't you? yes. yep.

well, sometimes, i'll... i will say to her that i'm going to bring her home. with new restrictions across the uk, hundreds of thousands of people are once again separated, isolated and heartbroken. her care home lockdown at the beginning of march, and seven months later they are still locked down. over the last six months she has seen her mother only twice on a garden visit. now even they are banned. she said to me the other day i would rather die than be locked up. my mum's brother died in april. she says to me, how is louis? she was her best friend as well as her brother. he was her best friend as well as her brother. he died six months ago, mum.

i can't tell her that over the phone when there is nobody there to comfort her, and how long is this going to go on for? but with a quarter of all covid deaths in care homes, officials say this is necessary to protect people like maggie. i don't really want protecting, thank you very much. she has survived covid, but now faces isolation. maggie has ms, and in window visits with her daughter, she has been able to articulate what many are feeling. what do you think about these window visits? i mean, they are inhuman. and last week emma broke the news that even these visits have to stop. ijust feel like crying. covid is going on the front door and the back door is being shut for families. how long will it go on? i don't know how long my mum has to live, it might be weeks or months or years, but the average life expectancy in nursing homes is two years. it is a difficult line to walk. this home has had new visitors and no deaths as it is in an area

this home has had no visitors and no deaths as it is in an area that has had constant restrictions. we haven't lost anybody, but we are concerned that in protecting people so brilliantly from covid that there is another risk, that they might give up hope. there is another risk and it is scary because we do everything we can to replace the affection given by the family, but we are not family. but until we are certain that nobody has got covid coming into the home, it is too risky. got a photo or a picture frame or anything? i'm just going to get one. after six months facing down the threat of covid... this is a picture of mum, her name is theresa. covid residents are fighting a new battle, to maintain hope. giving up is seen by these families... as this one 0k? is a threat as deadly

as the virus itself. perfect. yeah this is when he was still able to go out walking. he was still steve then. visits are now banned across much of the uk. in england, the government says its environment is protection control and it has invested in technology in care homes to keep these people connected, but technology she says can't replace a hug. i can't see in his eyes when i see him. i'm just heartbroken. steve is in there somewhere but without being able to cuddle him and hold his hand, is not really understanding. there has to be a middle ground, there has got to be a way of managing the risk. 0k, mum, see you tomorrow. they're all right. i love you. this is the last time phil said goodbye to his mum before lockdown. a few weeks later, i got that call. he and his sister sat with elwyn for 48 hours,

she rallied to such an extent she was considered to be no longer close to death, because of that, their visitation rights were once again stopped. a week later, she died. it was taken away, it was taken away. and it is cruel. it'sjust so cruel, that there are no words that can express it, other than that. as we approached and waved, she just literally broke down. she just kept saying it's been too long and i'm too sad. we drove home that day and we said to ourselves, why are we all accepting the situation? enough is enough. we must do something. jenny and diane started a petition to give key relatives the same status and access to tests as carers. today it has over 130,000 signatures. we can't see it is going to get better soon. we reach the end of that tolerance.

canada has just guaranteed that safely managed visits will be allowed even during the care home outbreak. they have traded in the last thing in life he had left, which was love. scotland is due to make an announcement on this within days. she is not able to express herself any more. pressure is growing across the rest of the uk do the same. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. despite losing the persistent heavy rain, it is pretty strong week of weatherhead. we had some threatening looking skies at times, and the further north and west, but under the influence of low pressure circulating around that low series of other friends and the showers across the west and they have for

the country. so for tuesday, plenty of showers around and some of them quite intense. that said, eastern areas of scotland and northeast england was the best of the sunshine and perhaps escape the shows altogether in temperature should peak between 12 and 16 degrees. the lows eased away briefly and would still be a quieter day, largely drive across the country with some sunshine coming through and again, i high 15 celsius, but we change gears once again on thursday as we see another area of low pressure bringing a risk of wet weather across england and wales, breezy of 00:58:36,058 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 the few showers to the north.
