government has implemented. three weeks ago, and date of the government hasjust weeks ago, and date of the government has just published this evening, sage was already urging the government to implement the measures we see now three weeks later. so, i think we do start to see hospitalizations rocket, death rocket, people will ask why didn't the government asked sooner when the scientists were urging them that was the time to do it? itjust shows what the science isn't clear—cut because different numbers are so different. let's go on to the ft. rich nations d raft let's go on to the ft. rich nations draft for $100 billion revolution in corporate tax. this is being put forward i think but quite dependent on probably who wins the us election. yes, actually, in the interview in the article, it says

they were ready to go for it at the beginning of the year but because of the pandemic, they had to put it on standby. but he says we are ready to implement it. it's a big story, and it's one that makes me feel optimistic. when you think that 135 countries have contributed all on the same wavelength, that is to say for big european natural goods, companies to pay tax on profits where they operate and not put it... that redistribution of up to probably worth $100 billion would be

probably worth $100 billion would be probably extraordinary and much welcomed by some countries when you think about the cost of covid and the pandemic. lucy, just briefly because i want to move on. it'll be interesting to see the from those companies who will be moving their taxes around the world. yes, that's absolutely right. it remains to be seen 110w absolutely right. it remains to be seen now what these google ‘s and amazon ‘s and etc make of this proposal. i think there is a note of caution in the story that the big player is the us, so far has been stalling on this move to ensure companies pay tax where they operate. but also to ensure that all the companies that sign up to this agreement agree a minimum at rate of corporation tax. yeah, i think it's all writing on november the 3rd and who when the us presidency.

le figaro, raves in paris. yes. glenda stein —— clandestine nine, not covid free and illegal. the police, which has other things to do, is actually having to go to the woods outside of paris to the river banks, but also to lesser apartments in paris to remind people that it's not time to party, especially by more than ten. we don't have a rule of six, but we have a rule of ten. and there's another story, this very striking picture as you said earlier of the louvre, and it's empty and is

quite extraordinary. it's wonderful because you can see everything and there's hardly anyone, but of course, it's a terrible, terrible news for the tourism industry. but i think it's time to come to paris. tougher rules, new worries. tier two people worse off. talk us through the yorkshire post. it's a common it's a common refrain we have heard from local leaders that while many understand tougher measures need to come in, the devastating impact this could have on local businesses is really what this front page is all about. many parts of yorkshire affected, particularly in the south. there are concerns that is cases rise, it will

have to go to further measures. the hospitality industry will be hit with a couple of bar closures. i think a key tenet of what the prime minister has unveiled today is that local leaders will be allowed to and indeed may need to go further, even in the mandatory measures. which would dissipate perhaps some of the blame that might get assigned to the government. of course. ithink blame that might get assigned to the government. of course. i think that is what the government wants. they wa nt is what the government wants. they want local leaders to have a bit of accountability, and that makes sense from the politics of it. but boris johnson also warned that if leaders don't agree, and some i really restricted being put into tier two let alone tier three, he has warned that dental government will reserve the right to impose these tears on these region. just one other sports story on the yorkshire post. we not maybe —— we may not be able to

travel very far, but... maybe —— we may not be able to travelvery far, but... i didn't see that stoplight a team scientists have a potentially paved the way for a drug that could nascar flavour. —— mask our taste of flavour. listen, we will be back in 35 minutes for oui’ we will be back in 35 minutes for our viewers on the news channel for a look at the papers and a few more. not going to any raves tonight, thank you very much indeed. more on all the stories on the website. if you are watching abroad, if you are watching in the uk, bbc .co .uk/ news. hope to see you in a bit.

good evening. i'm gavin ram john. there's been a huge reaction to project big picture, the proposals for reforming football being driven by liverpool and manchester united. the plan includes an 18—team premier league, with more money flowing down to the football league, and their chairman is all for it. but the premier league says it will be damaging, and the changes would see the so—called big six clubs wield even more power and influence. —— gavin ramjaun. west ham are one of those teams firmly against it. here's our sports news reporter laura scott. the premier league has become the most lucrative sports league in the world, but apparently in secret, liverpool and manchester united have been developing plans for the most radical shake—ups since it was

formed in 1992. with the backing of this is in an attempt to get a better short—term solution. i presciently believe this is the right future for the game and therefore, deserves serious consideration. the plan has been named project big picture, but what does it look like? the number of premier league teams will be cut from 20 to 18, both the efl cup and community shield could be abolished, voting rights will be complicated —— concentrated to them talk clubs. 25% of future tv deals would go to the rest of the football league. and there would be immediate £250 million bailout. how are these being viewed at a time of crisis? it looks like they are taking advantage of the crisis to offer this, but it's

got good elements. but it has a very bad feature that it radically alters the power within the english game. that is what we fear the most. power should be taken away from clubs, not concentrated in the hands of fewer of them. the premier league set a number of the proposals could have a damaging impact on the whole game, and others believe this is a power grab. there is plenty of opposition to overcome. rather than doing deals to overcome. rather than doing deals to try and reform football at this critical moment, i would rather they work together to ensure the future of football. i have to say that if they can't get together to sort this out, we will have to return to what we promised in our manifesto, which isa we promised in our manifesto, which is a review of football governments, because many fans would be concerned about what they are reading today stoplight in the short lower league clubs may be from financial pair are. but what will it mean for the

distribution of power within english football? laura scott, bbc news. paul scholes has been made the interim manager of league two side salford city after they sacked graham alexander. scholes is a part—owner of salford, along with former manchester united team—mates nicky butt, david beckham, ryan giggs and the neville brothers. salford are still unbeaten this season, and are fifth in league two. celtic say they're disappointed and frustrated, after defender hatem abd elhamed became their latest player forced to self—isolate due to covid—19. he fell ill after playing for israel last night, and he'll miss the old firm match against rangers on saturday. the news came two days after his club and international team mate, nir bitton, tested positive. 0dsonne edouard and ryan christie are also currently in self—isolation. the scottish football association have secured a five—million pound loan from the coronavirus business interruption scheme. the sfa face a three million pound loss of revenue if crowds don't return to hampden park. they've already staged four internationals without fans.

finn russell is back in the scotland squad after missing the six nations matches in february and march, for a breach of team protocol. the star fly—half is named in a ito—man squad for the autumn international series, which starts against georgia a week on friday. they also have their final six nations game to play against wales the week after. russell was suspended, and later criticised head coach gregor townsend in a newspaper interview, but the pair's relationship has been repaired since the six nations was halted because of coronavirus. ireland backjordan larmour has been ruled out of their autumn campaign after dislocating a shoulder while playing for leinster on saturday. he's set to undergo surgery this week. anthony joshua's postponed fight against kubrat pulev will go ahead in london on december the 12th, according to pulev, who says they've both signed contracts. the bulgarian posted on his website, "it's official. "there is no way back, no postponement, no rescheduling!"

their original bout injune was cancelled because of coronavirus. joshua holds four heavyweight belts after beating andy ruiz in december, and pulev is the ibf‘s mandatory challenger. there was a good win for britain's cameron norrie in the st petersburg open. he beat the eighth seed taylor fritz of the united states in three sets, to reach the last 16. fritz is 47 places above norrie in the world rankings. it looked as though british number one dan evans would bejoining him when he took the first set against the fifth seed stan wawrinka and had three match points in the second, but he lost in three sets. and that's all the sport for now. good morning. tuesday brings another autumn day of sunny spells and scattered showers across england and wales slowly improving from the north, and that's going to be the trend as we go through the rest of the week.

gradually turning drier but staying on the chilly side for the middle part of october. so, you can see how many showers we'll have from the word go, but those showers will then drift away out of scotland. an improving picture for scotland and northern ireland, but a cool, northeasterly breeze, so not particularly warm with it. plenty of showers are continuing throughout the afternoon across england and wales. top temperatures more disappointing, highest values of 10—13. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, we'll see this little weather front enhancing some showers for a time across the east coast drifting inland, but high pressure will build and that will help to quiet things down as we go through the working week. so, still the risk of some rain around on wednesday, but slow improvement with a little more in the way of sunshine thursday and friday.
