political leaders in the north of england say the package of financial help being offered by the government isn't enough to protect their communities from hardship, as parts of england face greater restrictions from next week. at a joint press conference, the mayors of manchester, liverpool, sheffield and north of tyne said the job support scheme was not enough to protect communities going into winter. the labour mayor of greater manchester —— andy burnham —— manchester — andy burnham — said many businesses in the north were already on a knife edge. the government is expected to announce a tiered framework for restrictions on monday. our politial correspondent jessica parker reports. manchester, waiting for what will come next. also liverpool. after days of speculation, it's been confirmed borisjohnson will give details of new restrictions for england on monday. the chancellor pledged to pay two thirds of people's wages where businesses are forced to close. action, he said, to protectjobs but

a warning today it is not enough. if you work in a bar or in a kitchen linked to a pub on possibly living wage but likely minimum wage, how is it possible to live on two thirds of your wages? when actually the government has forced your place at work to close. downing street is holding talks with local leaders on restrictions. a letter from a chief aide seen by the bbc has gone to mps downing street is holding talks with local leaders on restrictions. a letter from a chief aide seen by the bbc has gone to mps in the north west of england. it says, it is very likely that certain local areas will face further restrictions. local leaders should

be able to help shape the package of measures certain areas. but will what they think should happen here accord with the areas where those rules may apply? this council leader doesn't agree with what may be planned for his county. what we think we have now is about right, we think it's working. i think to bring anything more in some areas of the county would be wrong. and it wouldn't be adhered to. ministers want to simplify the different levels of restrictions. we will hear from the mp elected in seats in the north of england, coming up on bbc news. doctors have called forface masks to be made mandatory both indoors — including in offices — and outdoors where two metre social distancing isn't possible. the british medical association also suggests the government toughens the ‘rule of six'. what the government has rightly highlighted through its scientific

we have had over the last couple of months a rule that said you were face coverings on public transport and nowhere else. injuly we introduced it in shops and supermarkets but nowhere else but you could have gone to a cinema without a face covering. staff and restau ra nts without a face covering. staff and restaurants did not have to wear face coverings until recently. if the infection spreads with people close to each other, keep that role simple and try and encourage people not to be close to each other unless they need to be. would you like to see some of the scientific evidence that underlines these published? one

of the messages seems to be, a few weeks ago we were told that the spread that is happening in the north of england in family environments, and therefore people we re environments, and therefore people were encouraged not to meet other families indoors and so on. more recently we have been told that it is happening in hospitality venues. although there may be scientific evidence to back this up. the fact that we do not see it may be one of the factors that is influencing the scepticism among some members of the public. you are right, and the public should be given information of how the infection is spreading, and if we are seeing 1a,000 infections yesterday, 17,000 a are seeing 111,000 infections yesterday, 17,000 a day before, we should be collecting data, and i know the test and trace system is not working as well as it should but we should be getting information about where the infection is spreading. the other thing we are calling for is far greater information on the app, like you see

with the weather forecast, because in my own area i've been advised that the infection has increased threefold, the prevalence of infection, but the app says we are medium risk. since the beginning of the app being launched. but of the public knew and they could see that in your own area you are seeing a trend of increase of threefold, eve ryo ne trend of increase of threefold, everyone would take note and try to be more careful, because i do believe that the public want to play their part in preventing this infection, paralysing local community. i can now speak to jake berry who's the conservative mp for rossendale and darwen. he was also the minister for the northern powerhouse until earlier this year. thanks forjoining us. picking up on what the doctorjust said, he is worried about public

confidence and willingness to cooperate with new restrictions, in the absence of knowing the detail of infection rates in their area, is that something that having gone through a series of additional restrictions in your constituency earlier in the year, that you share a concern about? absolutely. ijust feel that for many of us the current mixture of restrictions we have over the north of england is deeply confusing, and i think compliance is not low, not because people don't wa nt to not low, not because people don't want to play their part, because they simply don't understand which restriction applies to them and that is why i've been calling for the government to introduce a national proportionate clear and simple to understand system. that in some ways turns responsibility back onto the public, so not just turns responsibility back onto the public, so notjust the government and not just the public, so notjust the government and notjust the nhs, but members of the public, too, because we all have oui’ the public, too, because we all have our part to play in tackling this terrible disease. in terms of what

the ideas are that have been discussed, there is talk that the prime minister will talk about this tiered system, similar to a traffic light idea, crudely, to put it crudely, but do you think that would help? you cannot have a blanket approach across the country. help? you cannot have a blanket approach across the countrylj help? you cannot have a blanket approach across the country. i think it would be a massive help and we debated regulations in parliament this week, that was the 18th occasion that they have been amended regulations in the north of england. communities can't keep up and councils can't keep up and mps can't keep up, so having a simple system that uses local data so areas can go in and out of restrictions will reassure the public. but there is one further thing the government needs to do, and that is to clearly indicate two areas, notjust when they will go into tighter

restrictions, but also when they will leave them, whenever that might be, because that will enable people to properly play their part and understand where we are in this journey. it is about giving people more data and about enabling people to ta ke more data and about enabling people to take responsibility for their own actions and i think we have seen that across the country. we have seen that across the country. we have seen public support build up again for a national endeavour to tackle the coronavirus. you talk about being clear about when you go out as well as going into a region, what do you make of the argument advanced by the mayors in the north of england? joe murray, the directly elected mayor of liverpool said there had been too much conversation but not enough consultation. does there need to be more consultation with local leaders as well as mps? there has

been a lot of discussions especially in relation to these restrictions that we have seen across the north of england and i have been on dozens of england and i have been on dozens of calls myself. what i do think is right about what the northern leaders had to say including joe anderson, the government has to continue to back business until the end of this pandemic, however that may look. because if we don't do that, frankly, all the money we have spent already has been wasted. these northern mayors and northern mps, they are saying to the government, look, if you are not going through until the end there was no point starting us on the journey in the beginning. i support a lot of what rishi sunak has come out with and i think he has reacted well to these demands in the north of england where businesses have closed, the government will stand by them, but i have sympathy with the view of the mayors that this can't be the end of the story and this has to be part of

an ongoing conversation looking at which businesses need supporting and when because frankly, across the northern powerhouse we need to make sure that the day after covid, we have an economy that can bounce back and that can lead britain out of recession. and play its part in restoring our uk and our economy. the government's agenda, and it was in the manifesto, the idea of levelling up and the idea of spreading wealth more evenly around the uk. one of the aspects right now where we are is that wages in some area are much lower, and the point andy burnham was making, the mayor of greater manchester, the chancellor's scheme helps a lot of people but it is easier for those people but it is easier for those people who are on medium and high incomes, and many of those people who are on the living wage or the minimum wage, having two thirds of their income supported by the government is not going to be enough

because they living on a low level and they still have the same rent to pgy- and they still have the same rent to pay. is that the kind of area amongst some of your constituents that you have been worried about? yes, these are the arguments i'm going to make to government and the collective northern group of mps will make to government, as well. we need to support our people and our constituents. i go back to the point, you cannot take the country on half a journey of economic support when it comes to tackling the coronavirus, because we need the government to be with us every single step of the way until we get the other side of this disease. the government has done brilliantly so far, supporting millions ofjobs across the country and across the north of england, so the message i would send to the chancellor is, keep up the good work, stand by us, but you would have to see this all the way through otherwise all the money you have spent previously would have been to no avail. are you

worried about what might come on monday? i'm deeply worried but i don't know anyone who isn't. my family here in lancashire, and i don't know anyone who isn't worried about it, but this virus is going to continue enter a second wave, not just in the north of england, but across our whole country and infection rates are particularly high in scotland at the moment so i would appeal to mps and council leaders and people across parliament and say, we are talking about the north of england today but tomorrow we could be talking about surrey heath, central london, the far south—west of the virus is going to go to our society so let's get the package right for the north so that myself and others can support all the other areas in the country when they are faced with the difficulties we are facing in the north at the moment. the message from the government is that you are not there yet. —— to the government.

government is that you are not there yet. -- to the government. the message is that we are pleased they have extended fellow but there is much more than that and businesses are not just about much more than that and businesses are notjust about employees and it is also about making sure the business survives, as well —— extended furlough. they have got to remain light on their feet and i cannot set up a scheme and say, that is it, that is what we are sticking to. because, frankly, the government is not in control of what this virus will do next and the virus is in control. the government has reacted to it and i think they have reacted well so far, but it must keep that light—touch approach, because when we have new challenges, the government will stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of the north of england and our business to see us north of england and our business to see us through to the other side. thanks forjoining us. the group he was referring to, something that has just been launched, the northern

research group, which she leads and which has been described as the tory trade union of northern mps to put pressure on downing street to deliver the promises made to the region in the government's manifesto —— which he leads. in wales, the city of bangor will go into partial lockdown this weekend as the welsh government introduces new restrictions for eight council wards. from six 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. pubs and restaurants across central scotland have closed their doors for the next 16 days as part of new restrictions to curb rising infections. in other parts of scotland, alcohol can only be served outside. lorna gordon reports. boarding up and shutting down, as pubs and restaurants across central scotland closed their doors to customers. last orders, folks!

the last pints poured as time was called for the next 16 days. it's very annoying, absolutely very annoying. why not just come out and say from the beginning that it's a lockdown? i think it's unrealistic to ask most of glasgow to go home at 6:00pm. there's going to be more house parties, people can find an easy way around the lockdowns if they want to. nicola sturgeon's in a really difficult position. i think she's in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. more than three million people living in five central scotland health board areas are subject to the strictest measures, which will see all licensed premises shut. in other parts of scotland, the rules are also being tightened. the pubs and restaurants there remain open, although alcohol can only be served outside. the first minister admitted that some of the steps being taken will be unwelcome. i know how desperately difficult this is for people trying to make a living, keep businesses that they've worked hard to build up going,

and of course take care of their staff. the government, all governments are trying to strike right now almost impossible balances between lives and jobs. and speaking for the scottish government, we are trying to do that as best we can. the scottish government is spending £40 million to support the hospitality sector, and staff can be furloughed. but many feel they're being unfairly targeted and that their jobs, their businesses, are literally melting away. we are the only industry that has jumped through every single hoop the government's put in front of us. we've done everything they asked of us. but apparently that wasn't enough for them, and so they've shut us with no evidence of the trade being a centre of transmission. more police have been on patrol to ensure premises comply. with the number of cases of covid surging, people are being urged to abide by the new measures, which the government says removes some of the major opportunities

for the virus to spread. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. covid heroes dominate the queen's birthday honours — from front—line workers to volunteers who have been helping their communities during the coronavirus pandemic. the england footballer marcus rashford and the fitness coachjoe wicks are also recognised for their efforts to help the nation, becoming mbes. our reporter anna collinson has more. whether you're on the sofa, whether you're a kid, a teenager, an adult, getting up, off yourfeet... 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... 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. i actually took my time to just read it and, you know, understand as much as possible about it so it was definitely, you know, a proud moment.

what i'd like to do, now that i'm in this position, is to 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 1,500 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 winningham 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. i clicked open the email and there is a letter that says that you have been awarded an honours, and er... i didn't scream. i have to say i'm still in a bit of shell shock 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's 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. sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here's chetam. good afternoon. we'll start at the french open, where the polish teenager iga schwiatek has made a brilliant start against the favourite sofia kenin and could be about to pull off one of the biggest upsets in grand slam tennis.

at number 5a in the world schwaitek is the lowest ranked woman finalist at roland garros for forty three years, but the 19 year old won the first set against the australian open champion 6—4. schwiatek is 2—1 up in the second set with kenin currently off court getting treatment for an injury. ahead of that final, britain's alfie hewett has won his second french open wheelchair singles title. he beat belgium's joachim gerard in three sets, just 2a hours after winning the doubles title with gordon reid. next to formula one — valtteri bottas has claimed pole for tomorrow's eifel grand prix in germany. the finn was more than a quarter of a second quicker than his mercedes team mate and the championship leader lewis hamilton. he'll start from second ahead of red bull's max verstappen. victory for hamilton at the nurgburgring tomorrow would see him equal michael schumacher‘s record of 91 wins. moto gp championship leader fabio ouartararo says it feels special after claiming pole position for his home race at le mans.

the 21—year—old frenchman left it late though, snatching the top spot from jack miller in the dying seconds. danilo petrucci completes the front row. it's the ninth pole for the yamaha rider and first since the end ofjuly. manchester united have gone top of the women's super league, with a 1—0 win away to tottenham. the goal came from a corner taken by the american international tobin heath. millie turner was on target with the header. that puts united one point clear at the top of the table, ahead of everton and arsenal who play tomorrow. in the scottish league cup, hibernian had to come from behind to avoid an upset. the edinburgh side were trailing 1—0 at half—time away to cove rangers but two second half goals saw them clinch victory to go to the top of group b. you've heard about marcus rashford's mbe, in the delayed birthday honours. a number of other sports people are also recognised.

among them former wales and lions coach warren gatland gets a cbe. and brendan foster becomes a knight. as an athlete he won gold in the 5,000 metres at the european championships in 1974 and after retiring, he founded the great north run, one of the world's most famous half—marathons. we've had 40 years of an event growing in stature and in size, growing in stature and in size, growing in stature and in size, growing in people loving it more and more, raising millions of pounds for charity, putting the north—east on the map and becoming the flagship event of the north east, and i think when the queen decided i should receive a knighthood for doing that, i would have done it, anyway. british rider simon yates has tested positive for coronavirus and as a result is out of the giro d'italia. his mitchellin scott team's released a statement, saying that yates developed mild symptoms after yesterday's 7th stage, and as a result had two tests, which both came back positive, he'll now be isolating.

his symptoms are said to be mild. and britain's alex dowsett has just won stage 8 of the giro d'italia. you can find more on that, and the rest of today's action on the bbc sport website. schwiatek is 3—1 up now in the second set, after winning the first set. now back to the news. thanks for joining set. now back to the news. thanks forjoining us. donald trump hopes to re—launch his election campaign when he delivers a speech at the white house later, to which hundreds have been invited. according to his doctors, the president was diagnosed with covid—19 ten days ago — but since coming out of hospital, mr trump has avoided answering directly whether he's free of the disease. but the president has said that he's now stopped taking any medication for the virus. a fragile ceasefire

has come into effect between armenia and azerbaijan, who have been fighting over the disputed territory of nagorno karabakh. the hostilities have mainly stopped, although both sides have accused each other of violating the truce. these pictures were released by the azerbaijan defence ministry, which says it continued combat operations overnight and this morning, until the ceasefire came into effect. at least 400 people have been killed and tens of thousands displaced in two weeks of fighting. nagorno karabakh is governed by ethnic armenians who broke away from azerbaijan in the 1990s, but whose administration is not recognised internationally. our correspondent orla guerin is in azerbaijan and sent us this report near the frontline. well, nagorno—karabakh is just beyond the hills, about 15 kilometres away. when we arrived here we could still hear shelling, quite intense shelling.

at around 12 noon local time, the guns started to fall silent and the ceasefire came into effect and it has been quiet here since then. this house here on the azeri side was hit twice by shelling and over the past few days we've met civilians sheltering underground, we've been to the home of an elderly woman who was killed in her own bed when her house was hit. but you can see scenes like this on the other side. there has been indiscriminate shelling by both sides and there are civilian dead on both sides. pressure from russia secured the ceasefire and azerbaijan and armenia are supposed to have substantive talks to try to resolve this decades—old conflict. but some here are not happy that a truce has come in. we spoke to one local man today who said, "we've had so many people killed, this isn't the time to stop."

for many here, nagorno—karabakh is part of their motherland and they want every inch of it to be recovered. covid heroes dominate the queen's birthday honours — from front line workers to volunteers who have been helping their communities during the coronavirus pandemic. we can talk to one of the recipients now. penny bond works for london north eastern railway and was awarded a british empire medal in the honours list — shejoins me now. did it come as a surprise? absolute shock and it still hasn't sunk in. i can't get used to it. have you worked out who nominated you? i've got a sneaky suspicion, although i'm not meant to know, but i think i know the culprit. tell the audience what it was you did. working on the ra i lwa ys what it was you did. working on the railways we have a reserves group,

collea g u es railways we have a reserves group, colleagues go out and help their communities, and i decided to start writing letters to local care homes and it took off overnight. other reserves got involved and what began as 35 hello notes to care home residents ended up in the thousands. it went viral up and down the country with so many colleagues doing it. it is a massive project. it has ended up being all along the road, so what sort of places are we talking about? king's cross, peterborough, york, newcastle, grants, it has gone all the way up, up grants, it has gone all the way up, up our route, which is quite nice —— grandson. i saw a figure of 36,000 letters, postcards, puzzles and poems, so far. yes, and it is still going. over 36,000 things we have donated, thousands of books and dvds, the community want to help so

we have been
