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. and polish teenager — iga swiatek completes a stunning rise by becoming the lowest—ranked woman to win the french open. good evening and welcome to bbc news. local leaders in the north of england say the financial help being offered by the government isn't enough to protect their communities from hardship — as parts of the country face tighter covid—19 rules from next week.

at a press conference of labour mayors, andy burnham — who's mayor of greater manchester — said many businesses in the north were already on a knife edge. the government is due to announce a tiered system of restrictions on monday, with areas facing different rules — depending on how quickly cases are spreading. our political correspondent chris mason reports. eating out in 2020 hasn't been straightforward. working in hospitality has been incredibly tough. those employed at this pizzeria in the northern quarter in manchester are worried. it isjust difficult, i do not know how long it will be going on for. i don't know how long i will be able to get by on it. basically a lot of money going out all the time but not a lot coming in. gas, electric, all of it. obviously not being at home all the time, it is going to be more rather than me being out of the house at work. yesterday, the government said those working for businesses forced to shut due to a new coronavirus restrictions will get two thirds of their wages paid

for by the government. but this afternoon, four labour mayors in the north of england said that was not good enough because... to say to us on a friday evening that it is non—negotiable that some of our lowest paid workers will be pushed into hardship, it's non—negotiable that they will be in debt as they're going into christmas. well, i'm sorry, but i'm not accepting a statement of that kind. when the state says, you know, "you may not go to work, you may not trade," then people should be getting 100% compensation. being paid two thirds of your wages, especially if you are on minimum wage, is not acceptable. the mayors of the sheffield and liverpool city regions made a similar argument, and they're not alone. today, almost 30 conservative mps from the north of england have set up a new group to press their case. the government has to continue

to back business until the end of this pandemic, however that may look. because if we do not do that, frankly, all the money we have spent already has been wasted. and discussions are continuing on precisely what restrictions should be imposed and where. we think what we have now is about right. we think it is working. i think to bring in any more in some areas of the county would be wrong and it would not be adhered to. back in the pizzeria in manchester, they are making the most of the custom they are getting for now, but uncertainty stalks the future. chris mason, bbc news. henri murison is the director of the northern powerhouse partnership — the group that represents business and civic leaders across the north of england. welcome, thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to what the mayo's are saying about the need for

help in parts of the north of england? i think they reflect a genuine sense of fear for the business community about what is going to happen. i think clearly the challenge is how long these restrictions will last. at the moment we are not sure what the prime minister's offer of more local control will look like, well it mean its decisions will still be made in whitehall? will we actually see real local choice? if this restrictions do work, in the course of eight few weeks we shall the reduction. if that doesn't happen, i don't think we can see places locked into these arrangements permanently because it will bring economic desolation to particular cities that are caught in the highest level of restriction, andi the highest level of restriction, and i don't think that is a sustainable course for anything more than a couple of weeks. we keep hearing from readers across the country that they need more autonomy and powers. but what sort of powers would actually be of any help at all

if it is not backed up with money they can spend locally?” if it is not backed up with money they can spend locally? i think finding is important and they can spend locally? i think finding is importantand i think track and trace is important. the west yorkshire leaders including the leader of bradford district council, from the area where i am speaking to you now, they have had a restrictions here. they have had a local track and trace efforts as they had done the road in calderdale, but those efforts are not as well supported financially as they could be. we need to make sure those areas like you're in west yorkshire can run the track and trace yorkshire can run the track and tra ce syste m yorkshire can run the track and trace system for themselves and put them in the driving seat of controlling the virus. we also need to see the power areas out of lockdown. even if the most severe restrictions were, the restrictions will be needed any more. in those areas where the restrictions are tried and don't make any manageable difference, to avoid the north turning into a big open prison, we need to see those areas taken out of this restrictions because if they

are not working, they are no longer the right solution. the government need to be very clear that if the and these things even with some consultation, that the leaders of the councils involved should be able to ta ke the councils involved should be able to take those areas out of the restrictions do not work. central government through matt hancock has been working very productively and many of the council leaders and mayors in recent days and weeks, including the mayor of london, where there is an issue with devolved government, notjust in the north, but in the moment we haven't seen the rest of whitehall behave in the same way. we need to see the efforts made by the health secretary and the chancellor to work in partnership with local areas being seen across whitehall. at the moment we have not seen that level of commitment from officials or from the rest of the cabinet and that needs to change. officials or from the rest of the cabinet and that needs to changem isa group cabinet and that needs to changem is a group of labour at mayors we have heard from the moment. the chancellor is a conservative but there is also an mp enrichment. how much more inclined might he be to help the north of england because

thatis help the north of england because that is where his constituents are two ? that is where his constituents are two? -- in richmond. ithink that is where his constituents are two? -- in richmond. i think you heard in the peace they are from jake berry who is one of the leaders of the group of conservative mps who now organising a research group. it is not just labour now organising a research group. it is notjust labour politicians who make the case in the north of england or a normal, better times for the northern powerhouse and wider projects. i think the real opportunity for rishi sunak is as well as providing the support that is needed in the recovery phase, there is a lozza could be done rebalance that north—south divide that we talk a lot about in happier times —— there is a lot more that could be done. i think the point where labour and conservative politicians are united in the north of england is about the need for the recovery to genuinely work to close that north—south divide and although clearly politicians from parties will always work together, the business community is very clear that we need to see our local

politicians, whoever they may be, whatever the party of the metro mayor over the council leader, be put in the driving seat because we have had to whack a mole from officials in the heart of government and advisers and it likely has not worked. we need to put our local leaders and metro mayors in the driving seat and that is who the business leaders i work with a most confident in to be able to make the the right local decisions, to take the right local decisions, to take the evidence into account and balance the difficult choices between livelihoods and economic and social ability to support themselves, so the choices around putting people fundamentally into poverty and leaving the business is closing and the health risks for any of their neighbours and those in those communities. the added that the prime minister does that for his constituents in his constituency and in my neighbourhood isjust constituents in his constituency and in my neighbourhood is just not tenable any more. we need elect

people to make the tough decisions and they are often the best people to make those, not the people at the centre. the power is not there yet and we are expecting this tiered system to be implemented, or hear more about it on monday. how quickly do you think we are going to see the deterioration that you are talking about in some of our northern cities? i think if this goes on, in terms of shutting down a large swathes of hospitality, our cities will become economic deserts. not just the businesses themselves who will need financial help, but in the end, the contagion effect, economic contagion, not health contagion, will spread to the best of the businesses in the environment because retail will do a lot worse in places that have similar restrictions. we have seen some evidence of that in some of the northern cities like newcastle of that happening already. the real

point is the government does need to think about what the recovery plan actually looks like because some of that stimulus to get us out of this crisis may need to be applied quite soon. i think covering people's wages is a good start and obviously, the argument is about whether that goes far enough. that doesn't answer the question about what will get businesses turning again despite restrictions and ensuring that if people do lose theirjobs in certain sectors, there are otherjobs being created at the moment. we haven't seen created at the moment. we haven't seen enough detail from the government about what the recovery and the economic stimulus went to the impact of this pandemic is actually going to be. that is an important question which i think of the coming days and weeks need to see a lot more detail of, as ballots greater local control around the restrictions themselves —— as well as greater local controls. thank you for your time. seven residents at a west lothian

care home have now died in a covid—i9 outbreak, nhs lothian has confirmed. it comes after four deaths were linked to redmill care home in east whitburn on friday. the health board said it was dealing with a "significant outbreak" and a multi—agency team continued to offer support. more than 50 staff and residents at the home, which is run by hc—one, have tested positive since 25 september. bangor in north wales has gone into partial lockdown this evening. as of six o'clock tonight, residents will not be allowed to leave or enter eight council wards without a reasonable excuse and can only meet outdoors. bangor currently has around 400 positive cases per 100,000 people. elen wyn reports. eight wards within the city of bangor will face further restrictions from tonight. and although it seemed busy on the high street today, business owners are worried. we have never caught up with the footfall we had before the first pandemic in february, and the streets are probably 10% footfall in comparison. we must look after all businesses, including retail as well.

we are not getting the footfall back. the new tighter rules in bangor of the same as in other lockdown areas in wales, meaning you cannot enter or leave without good reason, such as work or education. and although it is bangor under these new restrictions, the gwynedd council leader has stated he cannot promise that other areas of the county won't face lockdown as well. if the data is clear, then we will again have to impose restrictions on other areas. at this point in time, i think it is appropriate that bangor is the right place to have some restrictions that mean the high incidence rate there is controlled. bangor had seen a significant cluster of cases, with the welsh government saying they appeared to be closely associated with young people

and the student population. if you go to the pubs, you see a range of ages socialising where they probably shouldn't be. i don't think it is fair they are pointing the fingers at students. we cannot form a bubble with our other friends any more, and we made a lot of friends in first year, so knowing we are living in the same building and cannot see them to have a coffee or something is quite sad. discussions on the situation in other parts of gwynedd will continue over the next few days. but for now, the first minister has confirmed that no immediate action will taken to introduce local restrictions beyond the ones in bangor tonight. doctors have called for face 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‘.

the chair of the bma, chaan nagpaul, explained why to my colleague shawn ley. what we have to do is go back to some basics, which is this is a virus that spreads between one person and another and we said that two metres is the sort of distance you need to keep to minimise that spread. and we have also said in any setting where people are closer than the distance without other mitigations like a screen barrier, they should wear face coverings. you have to have that rule that applies everywhere otherwise people will get confused. for example, we have had over the past few months, a rule that says you wear face coverings on public transport but nowhere else. a month later, injuly, we introduced it in shops and supermarkets, but nowhere else. but you could have went to a cinema without wearing a facemask. we then introduced it for cinemas but now not for workplaces. staff and restaurants did not have to wear face coverings until very recently. if the infection spreads with people

close to each other, keep that rule simple and also try and encourage people not to be closer to each other unless they need to be. would you like to see some of the scientific evidence that underlines these measures published? one of the issues that seems... for example, a few weeks ago we were told that the spread was happening in the north of england in family environments, therefore people were encouraged not to meet otherfamilies indoors and so on. more recently we have been told that it is actually happening in hospitality venues and therefore those measures... do you understand, although there may be scientific evidence to back this up, there probably is, i do not know, but the fact that we do not see it may be a factor that influences the scepticism among some members of the public? you are absolutely right. and with the numbers of infections we have, we should be given information, the public should be given information of how this infection is spreading. if we are seeing 14,000 infections yesterday, 17,000 the day before,

we should be collecting data through... well, i know the test and trace system isn't working as well as it should, but we should be getting information about where that infection is spreading. i think public behaviour will change. the other thing we have been calling for is far greater information on the app, like you see with the weather forecast. because in my own area, i have been advised that the infection has increased threefold, the prevalence of infection, yet the app tells me we are medium risk for the last, you know, since the app was launched. but if i knew and the public around me knew and you could see in your own area you are seeing a trend of increase of threefold, i think everyone would take note and try to be more careful. because i do believe the public wants to play their part in preventing this infection paralysing local communities. president trump has told a crowd of supporters outside the white house that he feels "great" — five days after leaving hospital,

where he was treated for covid—i9. mr trump has said he is no longer taking medication for the virus, although he has not yet received the result of his latest test. first of all, in feeling great. i don't know about you. how is everyone? i am don't know about you. how is everyone? iam honoured don't know about you. how is everyone? i am honoured to welcome, we call this a peaceful protest. to the white house in support of the incredible men and women of law enforcement and all of the people that worked so well by the us, and i have to tell you, our black community, our hispanic community, thank you very much. thank you. before going any further, i want to thank all of you for your prayers. i know you have been praying when i was in that hospital. i was watching down over so was in that hospital. i was watching down over so many was in that hospital. i was watching down over so many people and i went out to say hello to those people. i would do it again. on behalf of

myself and the first lady, this has been really an incredible outpouring and we are starting very, very big with our rallies, because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation. 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. 0ur correspondent 0rla guerin is in azerbaijan and sent us this report near the front line.

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 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. britain has joined several european nations in withdrawing its ambassador from belarus. the uk says the move was an act of solidarity with poland and lithuania whose ambassadors were expelled by the belarussian president alexander lukashenko. he had accused the two countries of backing mass protests against his disputed election victory in august. from the start of the pandemic, there were warnings that if covid—i9 reached gaza, it could be disastrous. the overcrowded palestinian territory governed by the islamist group, hamas, has a broken economy and weak health care. it's kept under blockade by israel and egypt — which say they have security concerns.

gaza's relative isolation enabled it to hold off a serious outbreak until august. since then there has been a tight lock—down, but it's leaving more families in extreme poverty, as our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, reports: training for combat in gaza against covid—i9. the hamas authorities are knocking hundreds of new police recruits into shape to enforce their tough controls. at home, this policeman, a father of four, has just a few minutes of family time as he gets ready for another 12 hour shift. today, he is telling drivers to wear their masks often, he has more grim tasks. translation: part of my job is transferring the cases

to quarantine centres as well as escorting the bodies of those who died to the cemetery. when we go home, we do not know if we have been infected with the virus. i always feel like i'm on the battlefield. the doctor in the red headwear is also fighting as he checks on his covid—i9 patients in intensive care. this is one of gaza's best hospitals, but the health care system here has been left in a critical condition by years under blockade and repeated conflicts. there are shortages of life—saving drugs and equipment. the hardest part is when you know there are medical facilities to save your patients and these facilities are not available, and you feel you are not available, and you feel you are losing your patients and if they are losing your patients and if they are in otherfacilities, such patients can be saved. as the virus spread, hamas propaganda showed its iron rule of gazza. the public lockdown saved health but hit the

economy. this man isjobless, he used to work in a factory. he helps the children to study, hoping for a better future, even as they slide into deeper poverty. translation: the government ask us to sit at home, but it doesn't provide us with the basics. i lost my income and i cannot provide food for my children. these glances to get children together for parties, now they tell them to stay safe at home. growing up in gazza, the origin you fear and hardship. covid—i9 is making life worse. volunteers and front line workers who have helped their communities during the coronavirus pandemic have dominated the queen's birthday honours. the england footballer marcus rashford and the fitness coachjoe wicks were also recognised for their efforts. the list, usually published injune, was delayed so that people who'd

made a significant contribution during the early months of the pandemic could be included. here's anna collinson. 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... joe wicks and mr motivator are both appointed mbes for their live workouts during covid—i9. footballer marcus rashford successfully campaigned for more than i million pupils to receive free school meals over the summer. he becomes an mbe for services to vulnerable children. obviously i feel honoured to have that title. it's a nice moment for me personally. 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. 41 nurses and midwives 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. good evening. definite autumn chill

in the air today and there will be again tomorrow, but compared to today, there will be fewer of those darkening cloud and downpours and that of course does mean a little bit of sunshine in between the downpours, there will be fewer in the way of rainbows around as well. what we have at the moment is an area of low pressure still close by but moving eastwards. because of its proximity to us, we have still got the showers around, but because it is to the east of us, we are dragging air down from the north. that area of low pressure moves away slowly through the night and the showers will start to fade, particularly inland, as daytime heating disappears. a few showers continue in northern ireland, wales, the south—west. showers most frequent across parts of northern scotland, eastern counties of england. you come inland to get the clearest skies and the coldest of conditions. widespread temperatures into single figures. even a touch of frost in some sheltered parts of southern scotland and northern england. but tomorrow, a drier, brighter start for many and a much drier, brighter day. one or two light showers, particularly in the morning for northern ireland, wales and the south—west, maybe the north—west midlands. showers continue in the far north of scotland and down through these north sea coasts. it is here where the breeze will be at its strongest through the day,

and a colder feel, but come further west, lighter winds and much more sunshine around. even though temperatures are similar to today's values, it will feel a little less chilly. then as we go into sunday evening and overnight, after a clear start and a chilly start, temperatures will rise later as cloud and rain starts to push its way in. all linked into this next approaching weather system off the atlantic. this will bring a different day again on monday compared to sunday. back to greyer conditions, maybe a bright start towards east anglia and the south—east, and brightening up in the far south—west later, but many of us will see cloud, outbreaks of rain trundle across during the day and with it, a strengthening wind too. so, monday, a lack of sunshine for many and that strengthening wind once again, it will feel colder than sunday will. as we go into monday night, our area of low pressure, it brings that weather front and starts to develop even more to the east of the country, so the winds will strengthen. particularly cold on the north seacoast of scotland and england. outbreaks of rain most prevalent across england and wales, something a little bit brighter through the day in scotland and northern ireland,

only one or two showers but it will be chilly. temperatures only around 10—13 for many, remaining lower than it should be for the time of year and it will stay chilly as we go through wednesday and thursday. as this selection of town forecasts suggests, it should be a little bit drier and brighter though.
