this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. in britain, the government prepares to announce a new three—tier system for covid restrictions for england — restrictions for england with liverpool likely to see signficant curbs. areas that go into the higher levels would see extra restrictions on hospitality and socialising — ministers say they are acting in line with the evidence rescuers search for survivors after an attack on azerbaijan's second biggest city as a truce in the nagorno karabakh conflict unravels. there's bedding and blankets and mattresses strewn among the rubble here. the attack happened at about 2am. this is supposed to be a ceasefire but it looks more like all—out war.

president trump says he's immune to coronavirus and no longer contagious — but scientists say the virus hasn't been around long enough to fully understand the immune response. and. how covid—19's impact on the full moon party could change part of thailand's tourist industry for good. 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. we start in the uk where a new system of coronavirus restrictions for england will be announced on monday. it comes as mayors and local council leaders continue last minute negotiations with the government before those measures are brought

in — to thrash out what support will be available to the affected areas. in the morning the prime minister borisjohnson will chair a meeting of the government's emergency cobr committee to determine the final interventions. in the afternoon — he will make a statement to mp's in parliament laying out the latest measures — and hold a press conference in downing street alongside the chancellor rishi sunak and the chief medical officer for england chris whitty. the prime minister will announce a new system of "local covid alert levels" in england. the country will be placed into "medium", "high" and "very high" alert levels. our correspondent dan johnson is in the city. case numbers have been rising here and across all the big cities in the north and into the midlands too. there is acceptance that further measures are needed and that that

will be likely to result in further economic pain. this is notjust about health first as well. this is about health first as well. this is about culture, enjoyment about the amount of life we can actually continue living. and on the table are pubs, clubs, gyms, bookmakers and casinos here. and the regions they are to me tonight that he will not agree to those closures until there is the right support in place to look after the workers who will be affected. and until he has a clear way out of these local lockdown so that cities like this are not stuck in another lockdown for a month after month. on the loudest, liveliest streets, people worry about what's to come. and they want to be listened to, to be understood. all the things that are getting cancelled, the things we enjoy this time of year — halloween, bonfire night, christmas — these are the things that we are going to have to compromise with. if he'd have done it earlier, i think we wouldn't have got this far. the only way you're going to do it is total lockdown. once you've got total lockdown, you've got it under control.

we were doing really well before. ..all of this happened. but listen to conor — running a pub already quietened by local restrictions. we're not even breaking even at the minute, never mind being able to pull back all the rent that we still owe or pay back the wages that we topped up, and further restrictions willjust. it could be a final nail in a lot of people's coffins, unfortunately. i would say our sales are down 50%. and jonathan is wondering whether restaurants will be hit by new tiers of rules. you know, liverpool has known tough years. i've been here when it's been tough, but, you know, over the last 10—15 years, it's been a brilliant place to be and it worries me that rug could be pulled. consider too the challenge of enforcing even tougher restrictions that have so far been rumoured, floated, leaked, but still not confirmed.

make no mistake that these measures probably equivalent to what happened backin probably equivalent to what happened back in march we thought that we turn back on the our affection infection rates are still high. do you think you be able to reach an agreement tomorrow? i'm hoping that we can get there. it appears that the government in good faith entered into these talks. it's a real pity then to find that the detail was then to find that the detail was then leaked before we had a chance to sign things off. it wasn'tjust liverpool busy at ten o'clock. look at london's leicester square. and in peckham, they were playing cricket. the government denies it is unfairly targeting northern cities. you say that there is anger in the north. the chancellor represents north yorkshire i represent structure. neither would want to do anything that hurts the north of the midlands

more than any other country for top but it is right that we take a localised approach. after the curfew came in it wasjust game over. but think aboutjoe, still paying for the taxi that no longer covers his bill. you don't know where you're going to be in for weeks' time. am i could be driving a taxi or working ina could be driving a taxi or working in a factory or living on the door with no money. closing time is coming for more businesses. this city famous for the musical sounds it sent around the world now waits with others to find out how much of life is about to be silenced. our political correspondent chris mason is here. it is sunday evening in the uk as we speak. these announcements are going to be made for monday. have they been nailed down yet? short answer, no, they haven't. this is the start of the process rather than the end of the process rather than the end of it. the people in england this will feel like a new phase in the

management of this pandemic. with the british government making its argument that you can classify the country into tears. but we won't get when the prime minister speaks on monday afternoon suddenly a picture of exactly how it is in every corner of exactly how it is in every corner of the country. because the discussions are still going on. even in the northwest of england, in liverpool where it looked pretty certain they would be heading into the very high category, the highest category is set so as this a concern. that would happen on monday. now both sides, those in liverpool and at west minister i say well, maybe it won't because were still talking. and that is perhaps surprising giving the urgency of the way the numbers are rising in parts of the uk. parts like... yeah, and there is no dispute there is an urgency. when you accept as the government has done that it doesn't wa nt to government has done that it doesn't want to see national restrictions being imposed unless it really has to, then you are acknowledging that there's going to be a patchwork. if

there's going to be a patchwork. if there is a patchwork, you're going to encounter, and this would be the case anywhere in the world, you going to encounter different populations, different geographies, levels of the epidemic, different political leadership. and so you have complicated fraud sometimes frosty discussions. also if you decide as is happened in england, to put different parts of the country in different tiers, you're guaranteed to have a discussion which is been going on and private in the british government for the last month, pretty much. but the thresholds between those tears goes not each region filling that region is going to know if it's in the lowest year, is going to know if it's in the lowest yea r, what is going to know if it's in the lowest year, what would happen for them to be bumped up a tear? and vice versa. this is complicated and this is just the vice versa. this is complicated and this isjust the beginning. thank you. a bbc team in the disputed region of nagorno—karabakh says it's heard regular shelling from the direction of the front line, despite a ceasefire being in place. the region, which you can see here in red — is officially part of azerbaijan,

but it's been controlled by ethnic armenians since the collapse of the soviet union. in azerbaijan's second city — ganja which is outside the region — at least seven civilians in a residential area have been killed by rocket fire. in nagorno karabakh, damage to the main city, stepa na kert, continues, with air raid sirens sounding — this video is running on armenian state media. our international correspondent orla guerin sent this report azerbaijan. "let me see his face," she begs. "one last time. " she is not alone in this desperate search. "let me see," says this woman. "is he from my family? " "may the armenians

die", she cries. this is what's left of her neighbourhood in ganja, azerbaijan's second largest city. far from the front line, but not far enough. this is just off the main streets no signs of enemy targets. it's accusing armenia of a war crime. this was clearly a civilian target, apartment blocks, flatware people we re apartment blocks, flatware people were living. there is bedding and blankets and mattresses strewn among the rubble here. the attack happened at about 2am. this is just off the main streets no signs of enemy targets. now, this is supposed to be a ceasefire, but it looks more like all—out war. and what happens next? is there worse to come on both sides? standing here now, in the rubble, is the ceasefire dead?

actually, it's hard to assess the situation. therefore, currently we are considering the situation. if armenia continues to attack azerbaijani civilians, then azerbaijan will be obliged to take necessary measures against legitimate military targets. you are 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. as as usual azerbaijan cursive at it too was accused of breaching the cease—fire vice shelling civilian areas on the other side. though the truth looks shattered today it did not collapse. but ganja was hit hard. her grandchildren were asleep

in these beds. and were lucky to survive. but she acknowledges the pain in nagorno—karabakh. but she acknowledges the pain in nagorno—karabakh. "we are all mothers," this woman told me. "there and here — and our hearts are aching. armen hakoop—jen—ian is a armenian american surgeon. he travelled from los angeles to nagorno—karabakh to work in a hospital where he told me conditions were dreadful. the conditions of work in the hospital also terrible because nobody can stay about the first floor because of the bombing. a lot of next houses. i've seen a lot of civilian injuries and deaths where i was. we did not have time to watch news. we can only help people who are injured. if you are the erotic

surgeon, generalsurgeon are injured. if you are the erotic surgeon, general surgeon which can help with trauma, those are the doctors who are welcome and needed to be in those war zones. people who are in power, they do not send their kids to work, they sent somebody else's kids to work. people who are in power and don't care how many families are going through this tragedy they just simply want to prove their point. well, if the president of this countries were starting the war, if they will send their kids to the front line then i can understand why everybody else will go to war two. twitter has flagged up another tweet by president trump as containing misleading and potentially harmful information related to coronavirus — after he tweeted he was immune from the infection. scientists say the virus hasn't been around long enough to fully understand the immune response. earlier mr trump appeared on fox news, after his doctor said he was no longer a transmission risk. it seems like i'm immune.

so, i can go way out of a basement, which i would have done anyway, and which i did, because you have to run a country, you have to get out of the basement, and it looks like i'm immune for maybe a long time or maybe a short time, it could be a lifetime, nobody really knows, but i'm immune. so, the president is in very good shape. dr susan butler—wu is a microbiologist and associate professor of clinical pathology at the university of southern california. says donald trump's claims that he's immune to the virus don't really stack up... i don't think the president is any proof he's immune. the bottom line is, the president was given a cocktail of antibodies which themselves, depending on whatever test was used, could actually cause false positive is. so without knowing what test was used, we can't conclude he has antibodies present that he made himself. furthermore, the presence of antibodies does not correlate immunity and it is important to say,

even if you have antibodies detected, you should not conduct yourself any differently. scientists say the coronavirus can remain infectious on surfaces for far longer than previously thought. the findings from australia's national science agency suggest it can survive on surfaces such as banknotes, phone screens and stainless steel for 28—days — longer than the two to three days suggested in previous studies. the virus is most commonly transmitted when people cough, sneeze or talk. a controversial police unit in nigeria, which has been accused of human rights abuses has been disbanded following wide spread protests. in a statement, it was announced that all officers serving with the special anti—robbery squad would be redeployed and allegations of abuse investigated. a short time ago i spoke to our nigeria correspondent mayeni jones who explained why the unit had been set up in the first place.

absolutely. it is a unit that was set up in the 90s, the initial purpose of it was to deal with armed robberies, cattle rustling and other violent thefts. but over the years, they have been become increasingly associated with police brutality, abuses of power and amnesty international and other rights groups have accused in the past of illegally detaining people or extorting people for money, as well as killing people in extrajudicial killings. so a number of very serious accusations have been levelled against them. what did the video, what was the allegation around a video on how that appeared? the latest wave of protest was caused by a video that went viral on social media, young man was shown as being killed by officers of sars. data like this happens in the south of the country, the oil—rich area of nigeria.

the police there have denied carrying out the incidents, but it went viral across the world and sparked renewal and calls for sars to be disbanded. this isn't the first time it happens, it happened over the last few years, people asking for the units to be torn down, but this time, protests have spread beyond nigeria to london, canada and other parts of the world. of course, the nigerian diaspora is huge and a lot of people are angry about what has been happening back home. the president had said before, we will perform at this units, and nothing changed. now we have this presidential directive shutting it down, suppose people might ask what was he doing in the last five years, saying they were going to reform it? that is exactly what people are asking. there is a lot of scepticism about this latest development, many of the protesters feel it doesn't go far enough. they say they've been promised

that the group would be disbanded before and it hasn't happened. there are also sceptical about whether any investigations will be carried out, about previous abuses committed, and they worry that many officers will be redeployed to other parts of the police. we have seen incidences of brutality against protesters in the last couple of days, they haven't been carried out by officers of the sars but regular police officers, and people say the problem is with the system as a whole, policing and nigeria needs to be reformed as a whole and they are asking for policeman to be paid more so they are less likely to ask for bribes, but also investigations to be open to previous abusers. now, of all the sectors affected by coronavirus, few have been hit harder than international travel. thailand faces a particular dilemma. their tourism industry accounted for roughly one fifth of their economy before the pandemic. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports

from the popular tourist island of koh pha ngan, to see how it has been affected. this was one of the worlds most famous beaches. with an equally famous party. this island used to be an essential stop on every backpackers itinerary. but something so wild, so crowded, so dependent on mass travel was never going to survive covid—i9. like a tsunami it crashed and everything fell with it, he says who rents out motorbikes. look around you, there's no income here anymore. right now it's full moon again and until covid—i9 kept all the terrors away,

by this time the beach would've been filling up, the djs cranking up their music and hundreds of businesses doing well. there were plenty of jobs businesses doing well. there were plenty ofjobs and profits. nearly all of them now gone. but the people who live on this lovely island are now wondering whenever international travel stops up again, whether they might not do it differently next time. there is a lot less pollution now. these rubbish volunteers still find plenty left on the beach even six months after the party stopped. it's a chance for the natural environment to recover. we live here, we have ourfamily here... environment to recover. we live here, we have our family here... and businesses foreign and locally owned are now discussing a greener future for the island of economy stop but there's also many other things that people can see on the island and we wa nt to people can see on the island and we want to promote that. one that's focused on longer stays in a greater

sense of community. some of the islands residence and have now started a community garden to showcase this new, less material spirit. the vegetables grown here are to help those who've lost their jobs to the covid crisis. at the resort his family has owned for a0 yea rs resort his family has owned for a0 years he is also having a rethink. covid—i9 is really sort of ace reset button right now. at some point the full moon party is going to fail anyway. it just so full moon party is going to fail anyway. itjust so happens so that covid—i9 really pushed that hard reset button. like other resorts, mark is now relying on a smaller number of long—standing visitors who value a slower lifestyle. so today

where once young revelers from across the globe partied hard until dawn there are families eating and playing around the campfire. it's a less profitable but surely more sustainable way of exploiting this very special island. more time indoors and online has been the reality for many of us through the pandemic — and that has meant a huge surge in gaming. next month new xbox and playstation consoles will be released — and gaming looks like it could become the world's most popular form of entertainment. as the bbc‘s media editor, amol rajan reports. he doesn't know where he is. he doesn't know what to do. he's his head. he's in his head! call of duty, the first—person shooter video game, isn't merely

that includes 21—year—old sean o'connor from glasgow. a bit like a top footballer, he plays for the london royal ravens — one of the best teams in the international league. he's just signed a six—figure deal through his manager and often trains for eight hours a day. i feel like gaming has a thing for everyone. there is streaming, there is youtube, there's competing, there is just casual gaming. i think there's a lot that even the casual or even older or younger can all play and have a good time. you can do it from the comfort of your own room. don't eat the food! gaming today is more a global social network than a digital version of monopoly or snakes and ladders. global revenues have leapt from under $20 billion annually a decade ago to a projected $200 billion within the next three years. the growth in the uk alone was exponential. even before lockdown, it led to a huge surge in playing. smartphones and consoles

are driving that growth. and britain is benefiting. these vast buildings are now creative studios, deployed for making films or games. if ever there were evidence of new media supplanting old, it's here. a former printworks site for the daily mail in oxfordshire — now owned by rebellion, a british media giant that makes games such as the forthcoming evil genius 2, sniper elite and this one — zombie army a. one of the key technologies for us in the games industry is digital distribution across our global population. so the more people that we can connect to with our games, the more people can play them and then itjust becomes a challenge of discovery. the key component, though, is it's exporting our creativity worldwide. and the audience for our computer games is as broad as we can reach with the internet. it may look like a blank canvas, but sites like this one, 50 miles west of london, will help video gaming dominate the attention economy.

new technologies are making even the most complex game universally accessible. multiplayer titles have made gaming a social experience. and whereas books, films, tv shows and podcasts all have a single plot with an ending, it is in the very nature of gaming for the same content to go in countless, attention grabbing directions. these 3d worlds are a great and growing business. new technology is converting gaming and alternative reality to a way of life. amol rajan, bbc news. an asteroid thought to be heading directly for earth has turned out to be something a little less threatening. nasa says what it thought may be a large piece of space rock hurtling towards the planet has turned out to be the upper part of an old moon rocket. it's identified the piece ofjunk as having been part

of the centaur rocket. it was launched in 1966 from cape kennedy — as it was then known — to carry the surveyor two moon lander into space in the run up to the 1969 landings. i know it's in space but it does suggest that what goes up eventually comes down. you suggest that what goes up eventually comes down. you were suggest that what goes up eventually comes down. you were watching bbc news. you were watching bbc news. and a reminder — we'll be taking a look at the papers shortly with our reviewers rachel cunliffe from cityam and the daily mail'sjohn stevens. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello there. the changing autumn colours looked splendid in the sunshine on sunday. beginning to look a little more muted as we go through monday. lots more cloud around, outbreaks or rain spreading its way eastwards across most parts during the day as well. the cloud and rain, though, from these weather fronts as they push in through the night means the temperature shouldn't drop too much across western areas. in the east though, a little ridge of high pressure, some clearer skies for a time. parts of east anglia and the southeast could be a touch of frost in the countryside —

with temperatures and lower single figures, away from the city centres. but here, some early brightness before cloud thickens, rain arrives later into the afternoon. a wet start in northern ireland, through much of scotland, and around any western fringes of england and wales. the rain heavy at times, clearing through northern ireland quite quickly to a blustery wind, sunshine and a few showers later. same too into scotland as we go into the afternoon and maybe some late sunshine into northwest england and north and west wales. winds strongest across the west during the second half of the day. light winds further east, but even though those winds coming in from a south—westerly direction, they won't bring much warmth with them. after a cold start, the cloud and the rain arriving means temperatures not going to lift much — parts of yorkshire through towards the midlands and lincolnshire could be only around 9 degrees, same too in aberdeenshire. through monday night, the rain could linger across east anglia and the southeast, and it returns across parts of northern scotland with some heavy showers through northern ireland, wales and the southwest. with the clearest conditions in southwest, and northwest england, here, a touch of frost into tuesday morning, but i think all of us see a bit of cloud around and some rain around at times on tuesday.

our weather front, well, pressure deepens in around it. so that low—pressure spinning around, buckling our weather front back southwards across scotland during the morning — brighter conditions in the afternoon. we will see some brighter weather on tuesday across the heart of england and wales, but outbreaks of rain across many northern—eastern areas, heavy showers towards the southwest as well. the breeze will be picking up, but it won't feel quite as chilly, i suspect, for the southwest midlands down towards the southwest. then, as we go through into wednesday, still some cloud and showers around, particularly for england and wales. a stiff northeasterly breeze for all, best of the sunshine in the west, driest of all parts of scotland and northern ireland. but a cool feeling day, once again, and that cool feel will continue through the rest of the week, with temperatures down on where they should be for the time of year. the winds, though, will gradually ease and the skies will brighten a little bit more, with more of you spending thursday and friday dry. that's how it's looking. see you soon.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. different parts of england will be split up into medium, high, or very high, local covid alert areas under a new tiered system to be announced by borisjohnson tomorrow. liverpool is expected to be placed into the strictest tier. labour mps say there isn't enough support. shelling kills civilians, amid fresh fighting between armenia and azerbaijan, despite a ceasefire being called just hours before. and lewis hamilton equals michael schumacher‘s record of formula one wins, with ninety—one victories — and is presented with one of the german's helmets. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are comment and features editor of cityam rachel cunliffe and the daily mail's deputy political editorjohn stevens. now, tomorrow's front pages, they begin with the telegraph says the prime minister is to unveil tough new regional lockdowns which are expected to see closing time called for hundreds of pubs in the north—west of england for four weeks from 5pm wednesday. the metro are calling it "locktober". the paper says a new three tier system of local covid alerts will be announced, with some areas to see pubs and bars shut — along with beauty salons, gyms and betting shops — for up to six months. the times says it understands the strongest measures for areas a very high risk will be implemented for four weeks at a time before being reviewed, while local leaders will be offered the opportunity to go further with their own measures. the mirror says up to 85% of workers fearjob cuts as new restrictions
