this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. boris johnson will announce new measures on monday to tackle coronavirus in england — with some areas of the north warned they are likely to face tougher restrictions. wearing a face mask in all work places and outdoors should be compulsory, says the british medical association, which warns the public is in danger of losing faith in the government's coronavirus measures. donald trump will return to the campaign trail later with a speech at the white house — but won't confirm if he's covid—free. armenia and azerbaijan agree to a humanitarian ceasefire, following two weeks of intense fighting over the disputed territory of nagorno karabakh. recognition for the uk's un—sung heroes of the pandemic as hundreds of key workers and volunteers are awarded in

the delayed queen's birthday honours. and england and manchester united footballer marcus rashford gets an mbe for his work on free school meals — and says he'll keep campaigning. what i would like to do now that i am in this position is speak directly to the prime minister and really ask for the vouchers to be extended at least until october half term. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. a senior adviser to borisjohnson has written to mps representing constituencies in the north of england to confirm some areas — experiencing

a rapid growth of coronavirus infections — are "very likely" to be placed under "further restrictions." in the letter seen by the bbc, sir edward lister says ministers would hold discussions with local authorities in the region during the weekend. the prime minister is expected to announce details of the new measures on monday. it's thought they could include the closure of pubs and restaurants. the deputy director of public health england told the bbc action is needed now to ensure hospitals can cope with demand. there are still many hospital beds available in the north—west and much lower numbers of admissions across the country than we saw and rising much slower. but if we don't take action now and wait until the point where we are at a critical point, then we will actually have challenges in the numbers of hospital beds, and challenges in icu admissions. we all need to take personal actions to try and slow this down right now. the british medical association says people are in danger of losing faith in the government's measures due to what it calls

‘inconsistent‘ messaging. the organisation has called for tougher restrictions in england, including making face masks compulsory in workplaces, making people wear masks in all outdoor settings where two—metre distancing is not possible and toughening the rule of six so that only two households can meet. our political correspondentjessica parker is with me now. the papers are just that of the arguments on both sides of the restrictions, borisjohnson is still making his mind up on the details this weekend. well, there are conversations going on in that history with local leaders, conversations happening yesterday, as well as a try to reach an agreement in terms of what should happen in areas where the rates of the virus are high. but i think, reaching an agreement may be in many ways harder than actually going through that engagement because different areas may want different things, local leaders may say a different thing. we have been hearing this morning from the liverpool city mayo, labour‘sjoe anderson, he has been asked as well if he is frustrated in any way in

terms of public compliance with the rules. i'm as angry as anybody that the infection rate in my city is high now, 600, 700, a week, growing. i'm angry and frustrated that as low as two and four following the rules. that is not good enough. but that is about is trying to win the hearts and minds, the public to either the hearts and minds are never as bad clarity of messaging, consistency as well, and people trust in the people making those decisions on them, that they recognise that they are being made and responsible way. at this juncture, i made and responsible way. at this juncture, lam made and responsible way. at this juncture, i am not convinced that people trust the governor's decisions on what they are saying. we are seeing is warming from the bma, odds on the sage committee, of people saying that the second wave, we have been talking about it for months, all entirely predictable, and the government needs to act faster. on the other side, of course, these huge economic demands as well. that is the balance of his

family being looked at, and pulled over by the ministers and actually does end up revoking the disagreement in terms of what the right balance is straight. i think over this weekend, politically, right balance is straight. i think overthis weekend, politically, one of the things the government is trying to do is to avoid the impression that this is a top—down imposition from westminster on areas in the north west of england, they wa nt to in the north west of england, they want to get by and from local leaders, but that is not necessarily a guarantee, as i said before, and joe anderson, he has been speaking this morning, as we had, he is saying gnat from liverpool, as he understands, areas in liverpool and around liverpool are going to potentially be subjected to 83 direction, as it is known, as downing street has a zipper by the system, we could see pubs under lockdown, restaurants are still able to open up until 10pm but will have to open up until 10pm but will have to wait the details on monday. thank you very much jessica to wait the details on monday. thank you very muchjessica parker. we are expecting also the mayor of manchester, andy burnham, to be making a press conference in about

an hourand a making a press conference in about an hour and a half. making a press conference in about an hourand a half. we making a press conference in about an hour and a half. we will bring about what happens. pubs and restaurants across the central belt of scotland have closed their doors for sixteen days. opening hours and the sale of alcohol has also been limited across the rest of the country. a protest against the measures took place in glasgow, with bar workers dumping a large pile of ice outside the city chambers. police scotland said additional officers would be deployed to ensure premises comply with restrictions. in wales, the city of bangor will go into partial lockdown this weekend as the government introduces new restrictions for eight council wards. from 6 o'clock tonight, residents will not be allowed to leave or enter the areas without a reasonable excuse and can only meet outdoors. bangor has around 400 positive cases per 100,000 people. president trump says he's stopped taking any medication for covid—i9 — just hours before he's due to hold an outdoor event with supporters at the white house. speaking to a us news channel, mr trump also said he'd been re—tested for coronavirus but had

yet to receive the results. our north america correspondent david willis reports. what about symptoms that you had last friday...? in his first television interview since being diagnosed with the coronavirus, president trump engaged in what was described as a medical evaluation with a doctor from fox news. right now, i am medication—free. i am not taking any medications as of probably eight hours or so ago. iam medication—free, which, frankly, makes me feel good. i don't like taking medication. later, he was asked had he tested negative since his diagnosis just over a week ago? i have been retested and i haven't even found out numbers or anything yet, but i have been retested and i know that i am at either the bottom of the scale or free. vague though the answer was, the president conceded he could have contracted the virus at a white house event such as this one two weeks ago, held to introduce his supreme court

nominee amy coney barrett. confined to quarters since his diagnosis, mr trump has been forced to look on from afar as his democratic rival joe biden hits the campaign trail with a vengeance. having touted the idea of a mandatory mask mandate, mr biden seemed to be having some problems with his own at a rally in las vegas. but with just over three weeks to go before the election, he continues to enjoy a comfortable lead in the polls. meanwhile, a second debate between the two men, that would have been due to take place next week, has now been officially cancelled after president trump dismissed the suggestion that the event take place virtually as a precaution following his diagnosis. the commission on presidential debates, which organises the event, said in a statement... "it is now apparent there will be no debate on october the 15th, and the cpd will turn its attention to preparations for the final presidential debate

scheduled for october 22." president trump has also unveiled plans for a campaign rally in florida on monday — a swing state badly affected by the coronavirus is about to welcome a president who, it is yet to be proven, is no longer contagious. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. prince william and pope francis are among the speakers at a virtual event launched today encouraging people to take practical steps to lower carbon emissions and help tackle climate change. the ‘count us in‘ campaign says if a billion people around the world were to take a few small steps and make them into permanent lifestyle changes, global greenhouse gas emissions could be significantly reduced. tom carnac is a founding partner of the group ‘global optimism' which works toward tackling the climate crisis. a happy name for today for your company. a lot of the criticism around this whole idea of taking

individual responsibility always comes back to the fact that actually whatever we do separately mix a small contribution compared to what big businesses and governments can achieve. well, they keep having me on, and the reality is that individuals cannot do this alone, but is also true that we can't do this without vendor to —— individuals. we are not so with this programme that the only —— but we are looking for individual changes, we are also looking for systemic changes from business, from governments, from all other actors in society and much of the programme today and headcount that is about that. alongside that we also need individuals to take the actions that they can and that can be very meaningful, both in terms of reducing emissions and also raising their voices to ensure that those in power, in all sorts of ways, hear that they really want to see this transformation unfold rapidly. in terms of however‘s pages have changed during the pandemic, that shows is that we can change if we

have to do, what covid—i9 changes have to do, what covid—i9 changes have been cut positive? for example, less transport, fewer people moving around, compared with the covid—i9 changes that might be more difficult around is on the environs of france, for example, using plastic because vegeta bles for example, using plastic because vegetables and fruits, everything needs to be separated and clean. covid—i9 changes obviously have led toa covid—i9 changes obviously have led to a smooth around the world less and that has led to a temporary drop in emissions, but is also important to understand that we are not going to understand that we are not going to make this change that we need to make on climate change that is such a rapidly unfolding emergency. i just stopping economic activity and people suffering is about result, we need to make fundamental transport information that our technology, serve them in our lifestyle, also systemic changes, policy and business, but the reality right now is that we have less climate so late, that we have a ten year window thatis late, that we have a ten year window that is out on us for 20 20s, to reduce emissions by fully 50% around the world we are going to lose control of the climatic system and

we will not be to get back onto that after that. in that time period we need to do everything we can, individuals and systemic time changes. so just tell me exactly five things we can all do thou easy thatset with what we are all now facing on the pandemic front. thatset with what we are all now facing on the pandemic frontlj would say eat more plants, reduce food waste, fly less, that is easy in the scenario. should inflate your home and also raise your voice as an employee, as a citizen, as a consumer, to ensure that those controlling the systemic leaders, also did a bit. 0k, public transport, people are not travelling to watch them out, other than front line workers who do not have a choice and that, public transport is often seen as risky, so people are going back into their cars. that's true, and that is understandable at this moment in the pandemic, we do everything we can to make public transport as safe as possible, but also we are seeing incredibly fast and exciting transformations is any chance of the transport sector, we have now see californians say that

they will rapidly and the sale of all internal combustion engines, the uk is also considering a 2030, so we will see his big systemic technology changes alongside the individual actions that also need to take place. 0k, time, of global optimism, the best company name, thank you talking to us. thank you. the ceasefire has supposedly been violated, soon after it was meant to come into effect just violated, soon after it was meant to come into effectjust over two hours ago. these these pictures were released and it was told that this is like came into effect this morning but combat happened overnight. it shows is intended to allow for the recovery of bodies and an exchange of prisoners.

after only two weeks of fighting a diplomatic breakthrough to allow a swa p diplomatic breakthrough to allow a swap of prisoners and the deceased on the road to peace. thrashed out, in moscow. nuts outs of humanitarian ceasefire after ten hours of talk, russia's foreign minister said stands of negotiation are ongoing and the aim of achieving a peaceful settlement is as soon as possible. if russia intervened militarily to defend its treaty ally, media, it would have severed its bilateral relationship with azerbaijan for ever, and russia still has a —— sells a lot of weapons, hundreds of millions of dollars of weapons azerbaijan every year. if moscow continue to sit out of this conflict, militarily, then armenians on their part will start to question the value of the

alliance. but for those on either side of the dispute over land, it is not yet clear where this proposed pause in the fighting will lead or how long it will last. there have been to tap tactical successes in azerbaijan, but no major significant breakthroughs. also, the ceasefire parameters, as discussed, moscow, they imply that they will be based oi'i they imply that they will be based ona they imply that they will be based on a pre—existing framework which is also not a success on a pre—existing framework which is also not a success in turkey. turkey has backed azerbaijan's territory ns and it has looked to reimpose a renegotiation framework on this and it is not going to look like it's going to happen so far. alongside the missing stability on the ground, there is a notable absentee at the diplomatic table. one of the original architects of peace talks, alongside russia and france. it is namely america. it helps to have the americans above as well. we have leveraged over the parties as well and we have a very large armenian

american diaspora here in the american diaspora here in the american states, they care very deeply about what happens abroad. and so, this deadly cocktail of hostilities and mistrust in this fracture region looks set to continue with few likely winners. the headlines on bbc news... boris johnson will announce new measures on monday to tackle coronavirus in england — with some areas of the north west warned they are likely to face tougher restrictions. donald trump will return to the campaign trail later with a speech at the white house — but won't confirm if he's covid—free. recognition for the uk's un—sung heroes of the pandemic as hundreds of key workers and volunteers are awarded in the delayed queen's birthday honours. for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began, europe has seen more than a hundred—thousand ——io0,000 new cases in a single day.

the world health organisation has called on governments across the continent to take decisive action. let's talk through various developments across europe. spain has declared a two—week state of emergency in the madrid region, imposing travel restrictions to try to contain an outbreak there. the restrictions covers about 4.5 million people in and around the capital, where the infection rate is twice the national average. france has registered its highest daily increase in new infections — more than twenty thousand. "20,000. tighter restrictions are being placed on four more major cities, joining paris and marseille as zones of maximum altert. poland will enforce the wearing of masks in public spaces from today. the country has reported record new infections for three consecutive days, rising to more than 4,700. on thursday the prime minister

would not rule out introducing a state of emergency if the number of cases continues to grow. and germany, has seen its highest infection rates since april, at more than four—thousand a day. our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness told me the german chancellor, angela merkel, has warned of new restrictions coming in. that is the case in a number of german cities with eight it is up for more than 50 cases per 100,000. there is a sharp rise in infection rates in urban centres, officials say that is because people simply are socialising or in bars, restau ra nts, are socialising or in bars, restaurants, but also in private homes and the are really calling people, particularly younger people, is what angler michael said yesterday, to really rate in that socialising because the worry is that more people meet, the more the virus has been spread, so the numbers in germany, although one they are still low and much lower than neighbouring companies, are

high generally, almost 5000 new infections every day now for the past three days. that is very worrying because it marks a sharp rise. part of the new measures to be introduced on monday is believed to be a three—tier system, meaning areas will face differing restrictions depending on how quickly cases are spreading in the area in the uk. joining us to discuss the three—tier system is professor stephen reicher, who advises both the uk and scottish goverments on covid—19, with a focus on behaviour. thank you forjoining us. do you think this new three tier idea will help people comply and understand? there are a number of rules of messaging, basic rules of messaging which are important, one is clarity. for people to follow the rules, others in the need to know what the rules are and if it is too complicated, then people start following the rules, not because it wa nts to

following the rules, not because it wants to but because they do not know what they're supposed to do, so for instance, if you look, early on in the pandemic, when there was a message, stay at home, over 90% of people understood it. the dates which are to stay alert, only about one third of people understood what that meant. if the messaging becomes obscure and people do not understand what it means, they won't have to follow it. the second principle is consistency. we need to believe that these measures are fair, and that they are proportionate. we are beginning to see a sense that perhaps there is an inferno is creeping in, people are talking about a north—south divide, and again, they have to be completely clear —— might have to be completely quick clear criteria that has to be based on the science and which are not unfair, which do not discriminate between different groups. i do think that the reticence to make sense, to the extent that aid, it is clear and people know what to do, and be people know what to do, and be people can see what the objective criteria is and that determines the

level of restrictions, rather than an unfairness which is treating some groups differently because of who they are. i was a huge argument around this, has the government, based in london and of the coming of scotland, have they been listening is back to the experts... there is a lot of criticism about the chaos in the messaging. there have been a lot of problems in the messaging, and thatis of problems in the messaging, and that is obscene notjust what you say, is also what you do, it is very important indeed that those who are telling us to do certain things abide by things themselves. have been problems along the way i think we have got a point where messages are, so complicated that the prime minister himself does not know what they are. if he doesn't know what they are. if he doesn't know what they are. if he doesn't know what they are it is hard to ask us to abide by them. surely there is an individuals possibility, surely we are supposed to know what we as best we doing? it is capable of breaking

the rules. actually, a lot of people are more exposed. you get the disease because you are more exposed, not necessarily because you have done is in pot, because the groups that are most like to get infected who are those who are most exposed and which is why it is not surprising is the poor, the vulnerable and so on. in many ways, rather than blaming the public, it is far more important to support the public so that everybody can see what is asked for us. if we are to self—isolate, we don'tjust get it from above, you get support necessary and i think of the government did more support people, then they would be in a stronger position to ask us to take a responsible of his, so i think this has got to be a partnership rather than pointing fingers and that i will get through it. thank you very much. nhs staff, key workers and fundraisers during the coronavirus pandemic have been recognised in the queen's birthday honours list. they join celebrities — including the fitness guru joe wicks and footballer marcus rashford. our reporter anna collinson has more. whether you're on the sofa, whether you're a kid,

a teenager, an adult, getting up off your feet... at a time when many felt isolated in their homes, they kept us company and kept us fit. it's about feeling good. it's about being happy and positive... for their live workouts during covid—19,joe wicks and mr motivator are both appointed mbes. the same honour goes to footballer marcus rashford for services to vulnerable children. the manchester united star successfully campaigned for more than a million pupils to receive free school meals over the summer. what i'd like to do now that i'm in this position is just speak directly to the prime minister and, you know, just really ask for the vouchers to be extended until, at least until october half—term, because i think that's what the families need. there were nearly 1500 honours, including six sage members, who provided scientific advice to the government. but it's front—line workers and volunteers who dominate. unsung heroes like laura winngingham

obe, whose charity has provided nearly four million free meals to those in need since the start of lockdown. we were delivering to homeless shelters, homes forwomen fleeing domestic violence, homes with refugees, people that were destitute, with absolutely no access to public funds or food. people were literally starving. we're just on our afternoon walk around... nearly 60 front line health and social care workers are on the list, including felicia kwaku, obe. a mentor to many, felicia has supported thousands of nurses from black, asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, who are particularly at risk from the virus. felicia wants to dedicate her honour to her fellow nurses and midwives. i clicked open the email and there was a letter that says "you've been awarded an honours." and i didn't scream — i have to say, i'm still in a bit of shellshock now. for me, it's an absolute honour and a privilege to be

a nurse, and i'm standing on the shoulders of giants. fundraiser 100—year—old dabirul islam choudhury obe has walked hundreds of laps of his garden every day during the crisis, even during ramadan when he was fasting. who inspired you to do this challenge? tom, tom moore! he was walking, and i said to my son, "i can walk as well." like captain sir tom moore, mr choudhury has raised money for charity, and like sir tom, it has been recognised by the queen. with no immediate sign of an end to the pandemic, this list is just the start of honouring our covid heroes. anna collinson, bbc news. amazing work, congratulations to heaven has been awarded an honour in that list by the queen has made birthday honours, just to let you know, we are going to be bringing

you on about when hours' time, live coverage from andy burnham who says, together with other mayors from the north, he is going to be updating their position so that is in one hour's time, this is bbc news. here is louise. hello there, it is a saturday sunny spells and sunny showers, but inquire because of it due to a collapse when. it is a saturday of sunny spells and scattered showers, but feeling quite cool with that, due to a brisk north—west wind. for some of us this morning, it has been a beautiful start, but the shower clouds are already starting to gather, as you can see in cornwall and some of those showers are really quite intense. this has been the story over the last few hours, rain moving out of scotland, northern ireland, pushing into northern england and north wales. it is this weather front here, now the rain will start to weaken into showers, but some of those showers really still quite intense and plenty of isobars coming from a north—westerly direction. a brisk wind driving some showers throughout the day across parts of scotland, as our weather front

sinks its way south, we will have some sharper showers, with hail and thunder across england and wales. sandwiched in between the two, there could be some dryer interludes, particularly for southern scotland, but not feeling very warm out there for the time of year, temperatures perhaps peeking through the afternoon at 10—14. now, through this evening we will continue to see some showers and some of them quite heavy across england and wales for a time, they will gradually ease as we go through the night and with some clearer skies and slightly lighter whence, those temperatures ——winds, temperatures are going to fall away quite sharply, widely single figures in towns and city centres, so that means a more rural spots, we could see low single figures first thing for sunday morning, but it should be a sparkling start. lots of sunshine around on sunday, lighter winds as well. just the risk of some sharper showers drifting down off the north sea affecting the east coast, so further west you will see the best of the drier weather, the sunshine as well, 10—15 afternoon highs on sunday. unfortunately there is a risk of more rain around as we move

into monday, toppling across that high pressure, so we are going to see more wet weather moving in and once again the isobars squeezing together, still from a north—westerly direction, so those temperatures are not going to alter that much and if you are caught under the cloud, with the rain and the wind, those temperatures may well struggle to climb into double figures, but we could see highs generally on monday of 10—14, brightening up gradually into scotland and northern ireland. now, it does look as though we could continue to see some wetter weather in the south tuesday into wednesday slowly drying up from the north. take care.

hello and welcome to dateline london. it has become the new conventional wisdom that the polls cannot be trusted. in the us the latest polls give joe biden a large lead, as much as 16 points in the popular vote at the last count. perhaps the unwritten story is that the polls may be right. if so then we may be underestimating the scale of a biden victory. in 1980 ronald reagan won a victory

over then jimmy carter taking 44 seats to president carter's 6 seats. the spilt in popular opinion then 51%—41% to reagan, was in similar territory to the split now between biden and trump where biden is at around 52% to trump on 42%. the president may yet recover, of course, which is what he appears to have done from the coronavirus this week. a mere six days after contracting the virus the president is back at work, proclaiming that he has a cure he wants to roll out across america. handling covid is not that easy, though. there have been signs of revolt against restrictions this week in brooklyn in the us, in israel, in madrid and in the north of england, to namejust a handful of places.to make sense of this difficult times, i'm joined today by agnes poirier of l'express in france and jeffrey kofman, the north american writer and broadcaster and here in the studio
