hello, welcome to bbc news. the prime minister is holding discussions with members of his cabinet by telephone this afternoon to update them on the next steps in the fight against covid—19. tomorrow he will announce new measures, including a new "tiered" system of rules for england. liverpool is expected to be one of the areas placed under the tightest restrictions. ministers insist that the north of england is not being penalised as talks with leaders across the region continue about plans for further coronavirus restrictions. our political correspondent jessica parker reports. last night in liverpool. leaders have been told the city is set for the highest level of restrictions. police were out enforcing the rules as they are. but tougher ones could come, including further potential curbs on hospitality, pub closures. it is a disaster for the economy, for that business, but also

for people's well—being because getting out, having a meal, having a couple of drinks, is very important. as of monday we are getting an announcement but we don't know what we are being announced to, you know. it is kind of like, is everything going to be shut down? or are you just planning on closing certain things? like, nobody has any idea. just making things clear to the people and not patronising them and also not leaking things through the press, just tell them directly. large areas of the north already under extra restrictions wait for what's next. amidst the uncertainty there is anger as well, says labour, and worries that businesses are not going to get enough support. i haven't felt anger like this towards the government since i was growing up here in the 1980s. people feel that they haven't just been abandoned by the government, they now feel that the government is actively working against us. downing street has emphasised it is holding discussions with local leaders, talking to councils about giving them more control over test and trace, and ministers insist the north

of england is not being penalised. you say that there is anger in the north. there is. but the measures that we are bringing in here are universal, these apply across the whole of the united kingdom and there is nothing that we would ever do that penalises one part of the country over another. the chancellor represents north yorkshire, i represent north nottinghamshire. neither of us would want to do anything that hurts the north or the midlands more than any part of the country, but it is right that we take a localised approach. the government has pledged to pay two thirds of people's wages where businesses are forced to close, but it's not just labour politicians who say that is not enough. i have called and made public demands that it has to at the very least leave packages alternate to the furlough march lockdown and anything less is not acceptable. ministers say support for affected businesses is part of an unprecedented package of measures and tomorrow we'll hear more on any changes to travel, new tiers of restrictions.

the country, one top scientist says, is at a tipping point. out enjoying themselves last night people know change is on the way. jessica parker, bbc news. earlier i spoke to professor stephen reicher, who advises both the uk and scottish goverments on covid—i9, with a focus on behaviour, he started by telling what proportion of people are observing social distancing guidelines. if you look at the polling, it shows 80% of people, when you asked them, say they always or nearly always follow the guidance. in fact, people on the whole believe that we should act more firmly rather than less firmly. if anything, the government has opened up too quickly and has not imposed restrictions enough. that is what the polling tells us. i think it is pretty clear. so i think as long as there is that clarity, as

long as there is that equity, as long as there is that equity, as long as there is that equity, as long as people are supported, people will go along with them. let me address the issue of fatigue. it is address the issue of fatigue. it is a very seductive idea, but it is a very dangerous idea. we heard it in march when people said people would not be able to stick the lockdown and we have to delay. that delay, the week of the 16th to the 23rd of march, probably cost tens of thousands of lives. what we found is that people showed remarkable resilience. if people do not go for long with the guidelines, it is not necessarily because they are psychologically unable to do so, it is either because the information is poon is either because the information is poor, or because they do not have the practical ability to do so. again, during lockdown, the evidence showed poor people were three to six times more likely not to abide by lockdown than rich people. if you look at their motivation, it was identical. had nothing to do with psychological weakness, it had

everything to do with the practical difficulty of staying at home and putting food on the table. again thatis putting food on the table. again that is why it is so destructive to blame people when they get infected and to blame the public. much more we need a government which respects the public, which supports the public and which acts in partnership with the public. that same argument may be used for certain student populations, where it does seem... the students are having the most terrible time, especially if they are infirst terrible time, especially if they are in first year, pressure, whatever, but there does seem to be evidence they are not following the guidelines or the rules. there is some evidence. in certain towns. working at the media you know this better than i. of course a rave or a big house party makes a better headline of people not behaving themselves, then one or two people coming round and actually should. the scottish police have interesting evidence. they were called to 440

hertz gatherings of which only 13, less tha n hertz gatherings of which only 13, less than 2%, were large gatherings. the great majority were people slightly breaking the rules. when the police knocked on their door they said why are you having a go at us, we they said why are you having a go at us, we are they said why are you having a go at us, we are not having parties? the danger is if you set up this notion that the problem is big house parties, it makes other people can place an ad break the rules a little. the real people we have got is not bad people doing terrible things, there are a few people doing stupid things and having large parties, but the real problem is not a few people doing really bad things, it is a lot of people breaking the rules a little. we have all got to take our responsibility seriously, rather than thinking it is somebody else's for an problem. all the stories about house party really get in the way and they misrepresent the phenomenon and they make things worse by thinking it is somebody else but my problem, it is everybody‘s problem. somebody else but my problem, it is everybody's problem. go back to

clarity and face masks. goodness knows how the information has changed and twist it over the last few months. would it be better to have a clarity of message, where a mask inside and outside because eve ryo ne mask inside and outside because everyone knows that is the best way of protecting themselves and other people, even if the science does not necessarily back that up. who knows what science is on now anyway? well, i don't think the science of changes that much. i think we have known all along that this is a disease that lacks particular conditions. it lacks particular conditions. it lacks indoors, it like poor ventilation, it likes crowding. i think it is really important that while we have clear measures that suppress the pandemic we don't do too much so we can support people to maintain these social lives. we can have encounters with people outside, as long as we maintain our distance, andi as long as we maintain our distance, and i think doing more than is necessary undermines the credibility

of the measures that are needed. certainly indoors and in crowded spaces certainly indoors and in crowded s pa ces we certainly indoors and in crowded spaces we need to be very careful indeed. but, as i say, i think with a sensible approach we can get through this pandemic without doing too much harm to people either in terms of their mental health, or indeed the economy. terms of their mental health, or indeed the economy. the scottish mp who refused to resign despite travelling from london to glasgow by train after testing positive for coronavirus has given herfirst interview since the incident. margaret ferrier told the scottish sun on sunday she had acted "out of character" and had made an error ofjudgement, as connor gillis reports. margaret ferrier was elected as an snp mp in december and has been at the centre of a scandal for weeks now. ..commitment over the last seven months. this is her speaking in the house of commons. showing coronavirus symptoms, she had taken a test. after confirming positive, she decided to take the train back to scotland, claiming she doesn't

have a flat in london and would have been forced to quarantine in a hotel. in an interview with the scottish sun, she said she panicked, it was a blip, the virus made her act out of character. she said it had been a highly stressful situation but she will continue to work. the mp also questions whether her hard work and dedication should be wiped away for an error of judgment. despite being suspended by the snp, there is still a sense of anger here in her constituency of rutherglen and hamilton west. also angerfrom the snp leader and scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, who described her actions as completely indefensible, reckless and dangerous. ms ferrier has today responded, saying she feels hurt by the criticism from people she considered friends and colleagues. she doesn't want to lose the money. everybody else would be sacked, fired or anything else and live on nothing. she should be the same and see what it's like for the peoplelj

just think she's a silly woman. she really is, because i've not seen my family. i can't see my family, and it angers me. she was irresponsible, and mps should be people who set an example to the rest of the public. she has done the exact opposite and she should go. nicola sturgeon insists she has done all she can. no party leader has the power to make an mp resign from parliament, but i couldn't be clearer — she should step down from parliament. police are investigating this incident. for now, margaret ferrier clings on in the face of overwhelming criticism. connor gillis, bbc news, rutherglen. let's bring you the latest figures that have come in for the uk. the uk reporting 12,872 cases of covid—19 compared to 15,166 yesterday.

a number of deaths are 65 within 28 days of a positive test. 65 deaths. 65 deaths. the ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan brokered yesterday by russia has failed to last even 24 hours. the main city in the disputed nagorno—karabakh region has been hit by shellfire overnight and there are reports of civilian deaths in azerbaijan's second city, ganja. a senior azerbaijani official has told the bbc that baku is trying to stick to the ceasefire, but they have the right of self defence. our international correspondent orla guerin sent this report a short time ago. well, they are still searching here by hand, with dogs, and they have brought in some heavy machinery. you can see the extent of the destruction. it is over a really wide area. the buildings here are clearly residential. these were apartments where people were asleep in their beds when the attack happened at about 2am local time. we have seen mattresses and blankets

strewn around in the rubble. a local explosives expert has said that the weapon used here was a long—range rocket. this was clearly a large—scale attack and we have seen no sign of any kind of military targets in this area. standing here now in the rubble, is the ceasefire dead? actually, it is hard to assess the situation. currently we are considering the situation. if armenia continues to attack azerbaijan civilians, then azerbaijan will be obliged to take necessary measures against legitimate military targets. but, as we stand here now, you were saying that they have fired at you and you are also saying that you reserve the right to retaliate. so which is it, are you sticking to the ceasefire, or are you going to retaliate for this attack? at this stage, we are trying to stick to the ceasefire regime. but, of course, if they continue to do so, attacking azerbaijani civilians, as every nation, we also have a right to self defence.

and we also have a responsibility to ensure safety and security of azerbaijani civilians. now, there are accusations from across the front line that azerbaijan, too, has breached the truce. officials in nagorno—karabakh are claiming there has been shelling from this side towards rural districts. there is supposed to be a truce in place, mediated by russia, but when you look around here, it looks far more like all—out war than ceasefire. since the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan escalated last month, both sides have been lobbying for government and aid support around the world. armenia has a highly organised lobby in washington, and a louder global voice because of its large diaspora, particularly in france and the united states. it's estimated there are around 1.5 million armenians across the us alone. and as soon as the conflict broke out, the armenian community in los angeles began mobilising

to send food and medical equipment to the region. reality tv star kim kardashian—west who has armenian heritage, has pledged to donate a million dollars to armenia. hi, everyone. it's kim kardashian west. i have been speaking about about the current situation in armenia, and having conversations with so many others to bring further awareness to the crisis that we cannot allow to advance. my thoughts and prayers are with the brave men, women and children. i want everyone to remember that, despite the great distance that separates us, we are not limited by borders. we are one global armenian nation together. the headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson calls his cabinet ahead of announcing tougher restrictions as ministers reject claims political leaders in the north have been left out of the decision making. a warning from england's deputy chief medical officer that the country is at a tipping point in the fight against covid—19. margaret ferrier, the scottish mp

who took public transport knowing she had coronavirus, says she acted out of character and refuses to stand down. sport and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. lewis hamilton has won the eifel grand prix to equal michael schumacher‘s record of 91 formula one victories. hamilton started from second at the nurburgring and overtook mercedes teammate valtteri bottas, who started from pole, on the thirteenth lap. the briton claimed his seventh win of the season and yet another record. afterwards mick schumacher presented him with one of his father's helmets to mark the achievement. i don't think anyone, especially me, did not imagine that i would be anywhere near michael in terms of records. it is incredible and it

will take some time to get used to it. as i came into the pit lane that is only when i realised i had equalled it once i had crossed the line. one milestone to what could be another. rafael nadal is closing in on his 13th french open title and it would be his 20th grand slam, bringing him level with roger federer. he is taking on the world number one, novak djokovic. rafael nadal dominated the first two sets, only losing a couple of games. a closer start to the third, although ican closer start to the third, although i can see novak djokovic has got a now. rafael nadal leading by three having two in the third set. we will keep you updated with that. we will keep you updated with that. wales, top of their group, are currently taking on the republic of ireland in the nations league in dublin. coronavirus has hampered the irish preparations with one player testing

have also kept up their 100% start to the season with a 3—1win over west ham. reading beat birmingham. chelsea have a 3—1 lead. the premier league say proposals for the reform of english football could have a "damaging impact" on the game. the proposals are understood to be led by champions liverpool and manchester united, and have the backing of efl chairman rick parry. among the ideas being put forward are reducing the premier league to 18 teams and scrapping the league cup in its present form. the plans would see the premier league give a £250 million bailout to the efl plus 25% of its annual income. joao almeida has held on to the overall lead at the giro d'italia. his fellow portuguese ruben

guerreiro won today's ninth stage. britain's tayoh gaygan hart was sixth. he is the highest placed briton in 17th overall, just over two and a half minutes off the lead. italy's danilo petrucci has become the seventh different rider to win a motogp race this year after victory at the french grand prix. the damp conditions at le mans caused chaos with valentino rossi crashing on the first lap. both british riders bradley smith and cal crutchlow also crashed out. alex rins hopes of winning disappeared with seven laps to go. there was no stopping petrucci though as he held on to claim his first win of the season. ican i can see novak djokovic has finally broken rafael nadal‘s service, three games all in the third set. you can follow all of that on the bbc sport website. back to you, tim. an exciting game.

president trump is no longer at risk of transmitting covid—19 to others, according to the white house physician. yesterday he delivered a speech to hundreds of cheering supporters from the balcony of the white house, in his first public event since being hospitalised. first of all, i'm feeling great. i don't know about you, how is everyone feeling? i want you to know our nation is going to defeat this terrible china virus as we call it. and we are producing powerful therapies and drugs and we are healing the sick and we are going to recover and the vaccine is coming out very, very quickly, in record time. as you know, it is coming out very soon and there are great, great companies doing it and they will be distributing it and we will hrough our military very, very rapidly. but questions have been raised over the safety of the gathering, after pictures showed hundreds of people packed tightly together. his democratic rival, joe biden, has once again called

on the president to follow the guidelines on masks and social distancing. before i came out again today to go somewhere i had another test this morning. and i am clear. i think it is important that the president makes sure of two things. one, that he is clear, he is not a spreader like doctor anthony fauci said, a super spreader. secondly, i think it is important that he makes it clear to all the people that they should be socially distanced. they should be socially distanced and wearing masks. that is the only responsible thing to do. here, cinema chain vue has announced it will be closing nearly a quarter its venues for three days a week in an effort to reduce costs, following delays in the release of a string of blockbusters. from next week, opening hours will be reduced at 21 of vue's 87 uk sites, keeping them shut on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays.

it comes after rival chain cineworld announced it will temporarily close 127 cineworld and picturehouse sites in the uk. scientists are hoping the bcg vaccine, which has been protecting millions of children worldwide against tuberculosis for nearly a century, could help in the fight against covid—19. researchers believe the vaccine causes widespread changes to the immune system, which may protect against coronavirus. a trial is now under way to test the theory as james gallagher reports. in the fight against covid, scientists are turning to one of our oldest vaccines. archive: a new preventive weapon has nowjoined the battle. bcg vaccine... the bcg jab was designed to fight tuberculosis, and was first trialled in 1921. it has since been given to hundreds of millions of people. but now doctors think its effect on the immune system may lessen the impact of coronavirus, too.

sam hilton is a gp. his job dealing with patients puts him at higher risk of getting covid. he's one of 1000 people in the uk, including care home staff and other health care workers, who will take part in the trial. having had the vaccine in childhood will not offer protection today. there's quite a good theory behind why the bcg vaccine might make you less likely to get unwell when you get covid, so i guess i see it as a potential for me to be protected a bit, which means i'm more likely to be able to come to work this winter. sam will get either the bcg jab or a dummy injection. then researchers will wait to see if the vaccine either alters the odds of getting covid or the severity of the infection. the data collected here in exeter will be combined with studies in australia, the netherlands, spain and brazil. there is no evidence bcg will help in the pandemic, so why do researchers think it might? this seems odd.

vaccines are supposed to protect against one specific infection, so why might a tuberculosis jab also have a benefit in coronavirus? well, there's some interesting science that suggests that vaccines may have a wide effect across the whole of the immune system, that may give our bodies and edge against other viruses and infections, too. and indeed, in trials with the bcg jab, there has been a fall in death rates from other infections after people were vaccinated. the world health organization says the bcg jab might help bridge the gap until a dedicated coronavirus vaccine is developed. james gallagher, bbc news. 40 years ago ian curtis, the lead singer of band joy division, took his own life aged 23 after struggling with his mental health. now a mural paying tribute to the musical icon has been painted in manchester. kelly foran reports. # love, love will tear

us apart, again...#. joy division, pioneers of the post—punk movement. but the night before their first big american tour, lead singer ian curtis took his own life after suffering from epilepsy and depression. he was only 23. his band—mate and friend says 40 years ago, mental health was, even more so, just something people didn't talk about. what he went through, you know, it must've been so difficult and, in funny way, i still live with the guilt of it, you know, survivor's guilt thing, so it's been a great help to me to realise that, these days, there's so much more help, and people need to seek it. this mural has been done for a manchester mental health festival this weekend, but will stay here for good. it caught the eyes magnificently, which was one of ian's striking features, his eyes,

which always looked so warm and friendly and then he went and looked like a demon, it was fantastic. but behind those eyes were a sadness that he didn't share with many. ian suffered greatly, and i suppose one of the odd things about ian was that he soldiered on, and it didn't do him much good, sadly. and this is street artist akse's way of getting people to talk. it was a good thing to do, especially during this when lockdown has affected so many people. it is a critical issue. his murals have been changing the face of manchester. you might recognise a few. # walk in silence...#. i think there probably still is an image to some that street art equals graffiti, graffiti equals vandalism, vandalism brings down an area but, in actual fact, it's an art gallery on the street. it's hoped that remembering this

manchester music legend in such a striking way will encourage people who walk past it or who come to see it to open up that conversation about mental health. it's nice that manchester remembers and, yeah, it's a wonderful tribute. i've just watched so many people smile and be absolutely blown away with the sight of it this morning, just parked here so, yeah, it's nice, it's lovely. for the next few days, mars is its biggest and brightest as it lines up with earth on the same side of the sun. the positioning means the red planet will be clearly visible as the brightest object in the night sky. this arangement takes place every 26 months. at one point on tuesday evening, mars, the earth and the sun will all be in a straight line — a moment astronomers call opposition. will we be able to see it in the

night sky? will we be able to see it in the night sky? sunday has brought us dry autumnal weather, but the cloud is increasing from the north—west ahead of a weather front that is moving in this evening and overnight. that will bring rain across scotland and northern ireland. the clearest of the skies in east anglia and the south—east and here temperatures will fall lowest first thing monday. for most of us are mild, cloudy, breezy and a damp start to the day. we have got the rain from the word go across northern ireland and scotland, pushing into northern and western parts of wales, and arriving across east anglia in the afternoon, followed by sunshine and blustery showers from the north—west. not a warm day. in the middle of the week we will keep that threat of few showers in the south east of england, but much of the uk stays mostly dry with some spells of

sunshine
