newly released documents show that people from high incidence areas three weeks ago scientists coming into wales to low incidence on the sage advisery committee suggested a short ‘circuit areas. the prime minister needs to the stark reality of coronavirus breaker‘ lockdown. act. he has the power and the cases now increasing it comes as new figures from across the whole of the country authority. what he lacks is the means, inevitably, the number the office for national statistics willingness to find out. strong show uk deaths from covid—i9 of deaths is also going up, are doubling every fortnight. words there. let‘s talk to our and significantly. our political correspondent according to the latest figures from the office for national statistics, correspondent. one of the question deaths were registered in the uk in the week up to october 2nd iain watson reports. were nearly 600 above average that springs to mind is how, if for this time of year. wales does being in this kind of ban 343 of those deaths involved on people coming in from english covid—19, an increase of almost 50% on the previous week. hotspots, how are they going to enforce that? one idea is that it the prime minister met his cabinet over the course of a month, would mimic the system we already this morning to discuss the coronavirus crisis. have in wales. if you are in local the number of deaths quadrupled. lockdown in wales you are locked in. are you still being guided by the science? ministers are under but despite this, today‘s you‘re not allowed to leave that numbers remain a fraction council area unless it is for pressure to explain why they did not of what they were in the first peak ta ke education or to deliver care for earlier this year, when they reached pressure to explain why they did not take action last month to slow the work. so potentially they could use 9,500 per week in april. side of the infection. critics say a similar sort of idea but naming the government has abandoned its numbers are still small. pledge to follow the signs. last areas such as merseyside or nottingham said that if you were to night, a meeting details were come to wales but be from one of but even though numbers are still those areas you would be breaking small, the trend is rapidly upwards. we need to play in all these that law. it is a work in progress released. they were urging ministers and the welsh government has been figures at a local level, speaking to lawyers over the past and we do need transparency to impose an immediate circuit couple of weeks. last week we heard from the government to understand

breaker, in other words, a short, how we weight for different figures talk of quarantine legislation being sharp lockdown to distract the used potentially when people travel on how we then weight the policies from other countries. they have to dependent on those figures. virus‘s transmission and the do up to two weeks quarantine before scientist wanted to close bars, meanwhile, another important they are allowed to travel. it is a cafe, restaurant, indoor gyms and work in progress. the welsh hairdressers and ban all content inside homes with members of other government said, well, last night, development in the pandemic. they would give borisjohnson one households. they also wanted more chance and it has written a university and college teaching to letter. it can be jeweller ta ke university and college teaching to take place online unless absolutely more chance and it has written a this time in the united states where letter. it can bejeweller and extent of that letter and it says essential and advised that it can a 29—year—old man has been infected work from home to do so. the current guidance is an effective government action fell far short of and urgent action is required. their by coronavirus twice. the second all that. are you doing too little effo rts and urgent action is required. their efforts or the efforts of the welsh time was more severe. but experts too late? ministers said they took a government have been undermined by are playing down the significance. disability or people being able to balanced approach to listening to there will be cases where people get economists as well as scientists to protect livelihoods as well as travel into wales or other parts of reinfected. i‘m quite optimistic the uk. in the last few minutes lives. we did take robust action at that after almost a year of that time. if you remember, that is downing street has rejected those call saying there is no physical when we clarify the rules of six and border between england and wales and coronavirus, i think there would the guidance is clear. right, so if have been a strong signal that downing street are not going to go people can get reinfected in the brought in the ten p m cap you. we along with what he wants, when mite short—term. people can get reinfected in the reviewed that and other evidence and mr draper to bring in the span, if short-term. there is concern that people are not developing the that contributed to the decision the thatis mr draper to bring in the span, if that is what he is going to do? immunity expected after being prime minister made and announced potentially by the end of the week. yesterday, to announce the three infected by coronavirus. people in tier approach with further measures there could be some kind of ban. in those parts of the country where they are looking at how exactly it there is a high rate of the virus. would work. one of the curious

issues here is the argument, the last night the prime minister put liverpool and the surrounding region development between the first england who were shielding in the into the highest, most restrictive means most pubs will be closed from minister and boris johnson. first wave of coronavirus have been development between the first minister and borisjohnson. the same would apply to scotland and ireland tomorrow. intima addition, bookies, as well. bc around the uk so it told to take extra precautions. people with conditions such as casinos and indoor gyms were shut. would have to be legislation that even that might not be enough to would have to be legislation that asthma or cancer have been told they would name either areas physically should take extra concern and may keep the virus under control. in order to be countries or even that might not be enough to potentially depend on the case rate receive a letter in the post. claims keep the virus under controlli even that might not be enough to keep the virus under control. i am not confident and that there is or the tier system england. all that is still being worked on but mark anybody confident that the tier crayford is certain that wales does three proposals for the highest have been rejected that people who have the powers to come up with the rates, if we did the absolute basic we re have been rejected that people who were asked to shield during the case and nothing more, would be ban and potentially by friday, we enough to get on top of that. and first lockdown are now expendable. are told, that meet on the bone as thatis enough to get on top of that. and it is up to all of us to act as we that is why there is a lot of flexibility. i really think that it were, exactly how it would work. more is probably going to be needed are supposed to behave regarding it would be interesting to see that. andl more is probably going to be needed and i think it was interesting to social distancing. as i said, the thank you very much indeed for see the chief medical officer being bringing us the latest on that. so see the chief medical officer being so clear about that and aligning extent that the clinical guidance more in spirit with what sage said should be, from the chief medical there is more evidence today of the oi'i more in spirit with what sage said on the 215t of september. officer and others, that some people more in spirit with what sage said devastating economic impact of on the 21st of september. labour has accused the government of losing coronavirus. unemployment in the uk should take additional steps to control of the virus. throughout the protect them —— themselves. that has surged to its highest level in more than three years as the pandemic they have been supportive of the measures borisjohnson has pandemic continues to hitjobs. it

introduced. but now they‘re putting a bit more distance between grew to 4.5% in the three months to should be based on their personal themselves and be prime minister. they are calling for further august. that is compared with 4.1% restrictions. i am concerned they circumstances and health conditions. in the previous quarter. let‘s get who should they talk to today? have did not go far enough and when you analysis from those figures from our you provided local authorities with look at hospital admissions, for example, across greater manchester business presenter ben thompson. not enough resources and money that they on the north east you can see that any surprise that unemployment has this virus is out of control. there can talk to people in that area? gone up and it isjust a are more and more people going into any surprise that unemployment has gone up and it is just a taste of what is to come. yes. you're critical care. i think they have what are you doing to help those gone further yesterday and put more absolutely right and i think the people responsible who fear for restrictions in place. opposition consensus is that this gets a lot their lives if they had coronavirus? and scientists are urging the prime worse before it starts to get better minister to think about more because the latest figures we have just telling them to abide by the restrictions but some of his own mps had today, remember, takes us up to believe even the existing measures the end of august. that vaughan had percent unemployment figure is the rules, either you have a shielding are already damaging the economy. three months to august but it is protecting both lives and livelihoods and is proving programme or you haven't. you can or politically tricky. worth bearing in mind that at that you don't. you said that everybody let‘s talk to graham medley, point there were still 3 million professor of infectious disease modelling at the london school people having their wages subsidised should get the care that they need, of hygiene and tropical medicine as part of the government‘s fellow and a member of the government‘s but that isjust sage advisory group. he is speaking in scheme and we know that that expires should get the care that they need, but that is just the starting should get the care that they need, but that isjust the starting point. how do you keep people safe? it's ok at the end of this month when a less having lockdown. what you do with a personal capacity. generousjob support at the end of this month when a less generous job support scheme comes into force. there is an expectation people in t3 areas, unless you that many employers may be thinking about laying off more staff before on that basis, thank you for being that comes into force. all of that with us. but where are you one of before these new restrictions that

provide support for those people. those who thought, three weeks ago, you were just talking about their come into force, too. that could that we should have had this mini other expendable to you ? lockdown, the circuit breaker, as it dampen demand and all sorts of provide support for those people. other expendable to you? not at all is called? tougher action. there is but i cannot provide advice in this businesses but particularly the ones committee that is not generally most badly affected, those in the available. a man in the united states a clear consensus that in order to hospitality sector, travel, tourism has caught covid twice, with doctors reporting the second control problems, that stronger infection being more and events, all pretty susceptible to those lockdown restrictions and dangerous than the first. action is required. we know that we the 25—year—old from nevada needed there is expectation that the jobs hospital treatment after his lungs can reduced the prevalence with number will get much worse before we could not get enough oxygen into his body. relatively strict measures. the see any improvement. there is also our health correspondent anna thing to remember is that the collinson explains that this case disease can either go up or it can some fascinating detail about who, is in the minority — within thejobs but still very interesting for some fascinating detail about who, go down. there is no kind of halfway within the jobs market, some fascinating detail about who, within thejobs market, is bearing the brunt of this. lets talk more the scientific community. and so strict measures we know will about bad with tanner who is an reduce the prevalence and the danger this is about 25—year—old economist at the resolution man, he‘s young, foundation. hannah, good afternoon and he is from nevada of introducing measures that are not to you. you‘ve been looking very in the us. in april he started experiencing some symptoms. strict enough is they are still closely at these today and they tell cough, fever, headache, usa that kind of thing. closely at these today and they tell us a lot about who is most at risk. economically damaging and still he was tested for damaging to personal freedoms economically damaging and still damaging to personalfreedoms but the prevalence keeps rising. so that we talk about headline numbers that was the recommendation of sage three these are people of‘ livelihoods and career in virus and careers and particularly let‘s start weeks ago and the government ignored with young people because they are most directly affected. they bear —— coronavirus. it, effectively, and the government are saying it is following the signs the brunt of this more than other and is guided by the signs but on age groups. absolutely. and today's tested positive. this occasion it particularly was —— coronavirus. figures we have seen the 16—24 year

not. well, we know that both the his symptoms went away old age group that had seen the 00:07:03,709 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 biggest fall in employment. they and he was tested two more disease in the interventions cause times and got a negative result. harm and it is the government‘s job then at the end of may, he started experiencing symptoms again but this time though symptoms were worse. to try and balance those things and on top of a headache they are receiving advice from and a cough he started economists and others and so they experiencing shortness of breath. he had to be hospitalised are the one served on the balance. with oxygen support because his lungs were struggling to pump that vital oxygen around his body. and you talk about, you know, in earlyjune he once again tested stricter measures that could have suppressed the that some people positive for coronavirus. that‘s twice in a matter of months. would say, you know, we suppress to this man was young, he had no underlying perform and we had the full national health conditions or immune disorders and he has since lockdown and itjust bounces back. recovered. in winter to do that again if we what is significant about his case is that it suggests previous exposure to coronavirus does not guarantee immunity. far more research is needed. have another lockdown or mini there have been more lockdown? yes. absolutely. i mean, than 37 million cases we have in the early stages, still, worldwide of coronavirus but only this epidemic and as i say, we will a handful of cases like this. what this study either condone or it will go up. and recommends is if you have been previously diagnosed or not, the kind of disadvantage the moment we should all be following the same is that if we have a trigger going precautions when it comes to into some kind of lockdown or some protecting ourselves from infection. kind of strict measures that relies upon prevalence, so when it goes up toa upon prevalence, so when it goes up to a certain level, that is when you start reacting then it makes it all let‘s remind you of the new tiered very unpredictable so we don‘t know

system for england that come into for example how long tier three is force tomorrow. most of england will going to last and we don‘t know when places that are currently in tier go into the medium level where the two will go into tier three whereas 10pm curfew and rule of six will be the advantage of the precautionary brea ks the advantage of the precautionary breaks of circuit breakers is that applied. some will be on the high they are known, when they are going level, where they can be no mixing to occur and how long they will be households in doors but they can forewarned that could mitigate outdoors. the highest level is no against the negative impact. you don‘t think the three tiers of mixing of households anywhere and restrictions announced yesterday, they are not enough, in your view. pubs and bars will close if they cannot provide a substantial meal. it remains to be seen but certainly the liverpool area is the only in most tier one and tier two places the payments are still increasing so region which is on this highest it is quite likely that many of tier. among many cruel ironies as a those places will end up as tier three and we don‘t know yet with a police themed pub here facing tier three is sufficient to bring places back down to tier two and lockdown. you don‘t socially don‘t forget the whole world are struggling with this. we are dealing distance in shops, but i think we have done everything we could to with the situation trying to find make it safe and make sure everyone ways to control the virus minimising keeps the distance and doesn‘t get the damage of controlling the virus. and that‘s not clear what the right ill. adding to the unfairness is the a nswer and that‘s not clear what the right answer is in every country has got to find a way of solving it itself

restau ra nt and so it is almost certain that at ill. adding to the unfairness is the restaurant opposite which is allowed some point there will have to be to stay open. there is a lack of changed to any policy that is trade. we are already down on our introduced. of course, you have some colleagues, maybe they are in the sales. we are trying to keep ours in minority in the scientific place. when they are not getting community, who say we should go the that ours and the salary is lower, other way not have restrictions. sweden did not have as many restrictions. and we should learn to they are not getting the wage they require. if we were too close and live with the virus. what would you say about that? we are going to have they get 67% of their contracted to live with the virus. the question hours, they are actually better off. really is and what level of from tomorrow, people on both sides infection is acceptable to the of the mersey will live under the population. it really is a tightest restrictions. population. it really is a population decision. it has to be something that we can agree together of the mersey will live under the tightest restrictionslj of the mersey will live under the tightest restrictions. i think it should be totally closed down for a about what we‘re going to do about this virus. good to talk to you. thank you, as ever, for being with us on thank you, as ever, for being with us on bbc news. thank you. joining me now is chris hopson — fortnight. that‘s not going to work chief executive of nhs providers, at all. think it's changed a lot of which represents all nhs peoples lives. people thought it was getting better but it seems to be going backwards. trusts in england. friends and family for me is the one. grandchildren, everything. thank you for being with us. what is that‘s horrible. but you have got to

follow the rules, haven‘t you the picture at the moment, would you say, in the hospitals? we‘ve heard a lot of talk from the health secretary and prime minister about rising figures and hospitalisation. well, it varies. i think that is one question‘s follow the rules, haven‘t you question's the difference between tier two and tier three is that it of the very important reasons why we is then going to happen to them shouldn‘t just look at what is going without any sort of real strategy on nationally. we need to look at about how we will cope with that, what is going on regionally and i‘ve what we're going to do. been talking to northern hospital chief executives a lot of the last few days and it is very clear some about how we will cope with that, what we're going to dolj about how we will cope with that, what we're going to do. i think ultimately we will have to have more of them, the number of admissions is restrictions. we were expecting worse over the weekend, given all really rising. covid patients admitted into hospital is really the rumours. the fact that we still rising very rapidly and that is have restaurants open is positive. causing significant concern and i‘ve spoken to few chief executives who there is no money coming in but are saying they had now got numbers still many going out. we have to pay of covid patients in the hospitals that were greater than the numbers bills. and our staff. although there they had at the peak of the virus. is some funding from the government, the other thing that i thought came out really quite importantly and it's not the same. you can't expect again it is something that our chief executives have said to us in the people on minimum wage to earn 67% last couple of days of the fact that of their salary. there is no way of actually, in many of those northern telling how long this lockdown will areas, actually the virus never went

away and interestingly you will remember the pattern from the first phase which is that it started in last. london and moved to the west midlands and then moved into the north east, north west and yorkshire in what many of the chief executives are saying to us that actually did not get that drop back down that you benevolence has been badly hit by saw for example in london or in the this news. . —— the netherlands. south—west, it has always been really pretty low and that is why thatis really pretty low and that is why that is contributing to the fact that is contributing to the fact that you‘re starting from a higher base and you are now seeing a pretty according to reports here in the significant increase that for them hague, bars and restaurants will be is really quite concerning. closed for at least two weeks entirely. beyond that, people will concerning is it has always been be stopped from buying alcohol in really pretty low and that is why thatis shops or online up to 8pm. these are really pretty low and that is why that is contributing g to the fact that is contributing g to the fact that you‘re starting from a higher new measures designed to curb the base and you are now seeing a pretty significant increase that for them is really quite concerning. concerning is it concerning series. rapidly increasing rates of comparisons but there are one that infection here. we are seeing 6000 are important here that are not 7000 daily over the last few days. coming out enough. the situation is the dutch prime minister works in very different in terms of the base—level demand that the nhs this turret at parliament, he had basis. we know winter is with the little choice but to go further and

most difficult period for the nhs. it is when the capacity as titus and try to limit the spread of coronavirus here the netherlands. it is when access to beds is very difficult potentially so i think people are worried about if they speak goes on for a second peak goes on for a long time the nhs‘s ability to look after both covid patients and non—covert patients is really important. and what is particularly let‘s get you more on the news that important. and what is particularly important for the nhs is that we know we have got to treat everybody. ronaldo has tested positive for covid and non—covert patients alike. but we are trying to do it and coronavirus. let‘s get more from our again, this is another key sports news correspondent. the difference, at a point and effectively we have lost somewhere portuguese football federation said between 10—30% of capacity in each hospital because in order to that that cristiano ronaldo was part of are important here that are coming the portugal score squad that was out enough. the situation is very different in terms of the base—level demand that the nhs basis. no winter due to face sweden in the nation‘s is always the most difficult period for the nhs. it is when the capacities titus and it is when league tomorrow. but he will now miss that match because he has access to beds is very difficult potentially so i think people are worried about if this peak goes on tested positive. the striker is for a second peak goes on for a long time the nhs‘s ability to look after doing well, has no symptoms and is both covid patients and non—covert patients is really important. and what is particularly important for the nhs is that we know we have got

to treat everybody. covid and non—covert patients alike. we are in isolation. following the positive trying to do it and again, this is another key difference, at a point test, all of portugal‘s players were when effectively we have lost somewhere between 10—30% effective tested again this morning and they infection control and keep patient safely having to separate them out have come back negative. rinaldo is and we are losing capacity in the final difference, which is really important, is that our staff are the only positive in the camp. he really tired. they are fitted. some of them are in danger of burning out on one ambulance trusts have a was part of the portugal team that reasonable winter workload in one way we can do that is by moving to drew neil nell in paris. he is one the south lockdown is as quickly and decisively as possible wherever they‘re needed. decisively as possible wherever they're needed. some people watch might say, hang on a minute. did we not going to look buy the nhs time of the most famous footballers. he so not going to look buy the nhs time so that we could build all those nhs has been named world player of the nightingale hospitals to give us the extra capacity that we now need. so why are we still short of capacity year around five times but he will if there is nightingale hospitals, be missing from portugal‘s team they are there and are on told. because the nhs, we know, has over tomorrow night because he has tested the last three or four winters has positive for coronavirus. and been short of capacity. we have probably been short somewhere coronavirus results from the between four and 8000 beds capacity. scotla nd coronavirus results from the scotland squad as well. this goes so we know that over the winter period this is a crucial difference. this is what the chief medical back to last week. there were officer and chief scientific officer coronavirus cases in the scotland have been saying since march as we know that if we have the coincidence camp. cristiano ronaldo is not the first football player to test ofa know that if we have the coincidence of a second surge and the winter

positive. last week three scotland period, it is going to be difficult players had to withdraw from the for the nhs so, yes, absolutely, there‘s nightingale is will help but squad before their game against israel. israel have also had a few there‘s nightingale is will help but theissueis there‘s nightingale is will help but the issue is that they‘re not going to be adding so much extra capacity insta nces. israel. israel have also had a few instances. in rugby union more than that it could not be, you know, it 20 players and staff have tested does not eliminate the risk that we‘ve got of having that coincidence positive. they had to forfeit their ofa we‘ve got of having that coincidence of a second spike and at the same final match of the season. we are timea of a second spike and at the same time a busy winter period and the seeing more and more cases in sport other thing we‘re trying to do in affecting matches. cristiano ronaldo exactly the same time as we are also trying to those care backlogs that we hear quite a lot about in terms is the most high—profile case that we have seen in the last few weeks of when we did have to delay care in the first phase of the nhs is going absolutely full tilt at the moment in sport. and we need to give it the best chance possible in the best way of now it‘s time for a doing that is to have those tough look at the weather. local lockdown is quick and decisive wherever they are needed. thank you, as ever, for being with us. chief this was a scene from a weather executive representing nhs trusts in watcher in edinburgh. contrast that england. many thanks. thank you.

with the blue skies in east sussex. throughout the rest of the afternoon there will be a mix of dry weather, the london mayor, sadiq khan has told the bbc it‘s some sunshine and some outbreaks of ‘inevitable“ that the city will eventually move into the second rain across east anglia and the tier of new covid restrictions. mr khan said cases of the virus south—east. this could perhaps get in the capital were growing down into wales and the odd shower at an ‘alarming‘ rate. i almost promised londoners i would be upfront and frank and honest, and elsewhere. quite windy across the northern half of the uk. these are the bad news is all the indicators the temperatures as we head into the is that the number of new cases, the evening. nine, ten, 11 celsius. as positivity rate and admissions to hospitals, admissions and icus, we head into the night, there will be different areas of wet weather cases of older people, all the indicators we have are that things rotating around an area of low are going in the wrong direction. pressure. some showers will be londoners have made monumental sacrifices and that is one of the moving across england and wales. reasons why we have not got it as bad in london as other parts of the temperatures will generally between country. i‘m keen to make sure we as five and seven celsius. but some places in scotland could get close a city go as one. so on a daily to freezing. no pressure in the south and high pressure in the north basis i speak to council leaders, public health england and others to drives and easterly wind. quite a analyse the data and i‘m afraid the brisk wind across many parts of the uk. there will be patchy rain. in

bad news is inevitable that at some stage we will pass the trigger point scotla nd uk. there will be patchy rain. in scotland and northern ireland and need to go from medium to high. tomorrow. there will be showers that is the second tier in the marching ina government‘s three tier system. tomorrow. there will be showers marching in a cross from the north sea. the eastern side of the england coming up at 3:30pm we‘ll and perhaps in the midlands and answer your questions on those new covid tiered restrictions north wales. down in the south it for england we‘ll be joined by leading scientists, dr chris smith, a virologist at cambridge university would be as windy as it was today in and dr alan maryon davis, honourary professor of public health at kings college london. the north. temperatures attach so send us your questions, higher, 12 to 16 celsius. when not you can use the hashtag as strong as they tomorrow bbcyourquestions or email them afternoon. most places will be dry. using yourquestions@bbc.co.uk temperatures will be between ten and 14 celsius. that is mainly dry theme continues into the weekend thanks to the area of high pressure which will there‘s more evidence today be strong enough, just, to fend off of the devastating economic impact of coronavirus. unemployment in the uk has surged the advances of this big area of low to its highest level pressure that develops down to the in more than three years, as the pandemic south—west. for most it will be dry, continues to hitjobs. it grew to 4.5% in the three months chilly and cloudy. into next week to august, compared with 4.1%

in the previous quarter. this low pressure is set to win out. our economics correspondent it will increase wet and windy but andy verity reports. for sophia, losing herjob could hardly have come at a more awkward milder. to time. she and her partner had just bought a new home in gloucester with a hefty mortgage supported by two salaries. after locked and she was furloughed and then she found out she was she lost herjob. was furloughed and then she found out she was she lost herjobm was furloughed and then she found out she was she lost herjob. it has been quite demoralising, in a sense that i‘m not able to play my part as i had almost committed to do than we took on the house and we make these plans and you don‘t have a first second think that things will fall apart as much as they have done. sophia has tried unsuccessfully to find new work to help pay the mortgage after the baby is born but with unemployment rising to 4.5% in

the three months to august and redundancies doubling to 227,000, it is not easy. i would like to see the government have some kind of a review for that bracket of people that have found themselves falling through the cracks a little. those people that have already been made redundant that are now struggling to find anotherjob redundant that are now struggling to find another job because redundant that are now struggling to find anotherjob because of the flooded market and the changing climate in terms ofjob hunting. the government‘sjob climate in terms ofjob hunting. the government‘s job support scheme after the fellow scheme and include thejob retention after the fellow scheme and include the job retention bonus after the fellow scheme and include thejob retention bonus which pays thousand pounds for each employee brought back from fellow and kept on tilljanuary. the job support scheme which pays up to 22% of salary where employees are put on shorter hours and thus bided the government promised to cover up to two thirds of wages where firms are forced to shut by local lockdown is. the progressive think tank says those measures will utmost help fewer than this is bbc news. one quarter of a million people. it the headlines. says 1.8 millionjobs ministers defend the new one quarter of a million people. it says 1.8 million jobs could one quarter of a million people. it says 1.8 millionjobs could be saved if the money for the job retention coronavirus restrictions bonus were instead spent on a in england as it emerges

their scientific advisers had called greater incentive for firms to keep for a short ‘circuit staff on part—time. breaker‘ lockdown weeks ago. greater incentive for firms to keep staff on part-time. a lot of jobs could be saved and by taking the mps are currently debating wasteful part of the current scheme the new measures which will see and focusing it on those jobs it tighter restrictions in parts of england from tomorrow. the health secretary explained would actually mean we will not spend more money. it would just mean targeting the resources more the government‘s approach. narrowly at those who really needed. we are trying to protect as much as self—employed people from cabbies to is possible education and is electricians have not been offered protected as much possible work, the same level of support as employees. they cannot claim up to two thirds of their income if there essentially that leaves socialising as the other part of life, of we re two thirds of their income if there were no lockdown area. and many have already been excluded from support scheme simply because they‘re set up activity where people transmit the as limited companies. over the past virus. we will not divide the house against year one quarter of a million self—employed people have lost their these restrictions, because we livelihoods. with big employers like believe as far as they go, they are necessary. but i fear the government the owner of all bar one and harvest are now consulting a large—scalejob now needs to go further. the sooner cuts the risk is that many will move the prime minister is clear with the on to benefits and see their incomes public, the better. drop sharplyjust on to benefits and see their incomes drop sharply just weeks on to benefits and see their incomes drop sharplyjust weeks before christmas. with harsh effects. let‘s police say three young children and a 29 year old woman from the same family have died

go to the commons because that debate on the latest restrictions announced by the government in england to try to tackle the spread in a car crash near oxford. present trump‘s nominee has no of coronavirus is under way. in advance of them coming into force agenda as she bases her first wherever possible and today we question and answer session. deliver on that commitment for the votes tonight on national measures to slow this spread of coronavirus. a sharp increase in unemployment and madam deputy speaker, this from august. christian alan or pandemic remains a threat. our strategy is to suppress the virus, supporting the economy, education cristiano ronaldo test positive for coronavirus but is said to be doing well and without symptoms. he is and the nhs, until a vaccine makes a also in isolation. save. and i must report to the house that the number of cases of coronavirus has quadrupled in the last three weeks. there are now more people in hospital with coronavirus than their way around the 23rd of march. and in the last four weeks, hospitals and the north—west and hello and welcome to bbc news. the north—east of england have seen a sevenfold increase in the number of

covid patients in intensive care. in health secretary said that the these worst affected areas, the virus is spreading just as quickly coronavirus poses a considerable try until a vaccine can be found. in older age groups, notjust opening a debate in the commons amongst younger adults. i will give on the government‘s new three—tier way. thank you for giving way. given lockdown system, matt hancock warned that cases have quadrupled in the last three weeks, with more people in hospital that liverpool city region, which with coronavirus than there when the country entered lockdown. labour says the government‘s includes my own constituency, has restrictions need to go further. our been placed in tier three, as of yesterday, courtesy secretary of state just outline if there are correspondent is in the house of commons. and he has been following proceedings. nick, from what you plans to reopen or revive the have been seeing and hearing, how nightingale hospital is to say about much pressure as the government reading? don‘t mean the hospital in under, notjust much pressure as the government under, not just the manchester. well, yes, as you know, much pressure as the government under, notjust the opposition, but from his own mps? it is really between nightingale hospitals were put on alert yesterday to be interesting because there is considerable pressure on the government from two sides over the reopened. and the closest in new strategy unveiled last night to suppress the virus over england, question is in manchester but we keep this under review because it is with a three tier system. on the one expanding the capacity of the nhs is hand, you have conservatives who one of the things that we can do but think that the government is going too far in some areas, the sum of nevertheless, no matter how big the

nhs were, if this virus is not under the restrictions are too draconian, control then the virus will make that a 10pm curfew is not working. in the last few minutes we had graham brady who was the shop more people need hospital treatment steward for tory backbenchers than they could possibly be hospital treatment available for. so whilst raising questions about how this is yes, of course, we are restarting going to work, how you move from one tier to another, how you get out of the nightingales, that is only a it. on the other hand, you have precaution. it cannot be a full opposition mps were looking at some of those documents, that we got a nswer to precaution. it cannot be a full answer to the question. we had a overnight talking about the circuit good discussion yesterday about the measures in liverpool city region breaker and saying that what the which i will come unto in some government announced yesterday is detail. i will give way one more just not going far enough, maybe we need to think about going further. time. what my honourable friend said the argument that the government is making is that it is trying to about our strategy is to suppress strike a balance, it is basically the virus until science saves us. of trying to look at those to compute or competing interests of health and course there is a possibility and economic interests and mid—summer in the prime minister yesterday was the middle. that was the argument wisely cautious in his answer to our made out by the health secretary honourable friend in his response matt hancock. in order to control around the vaccine, what doesn‘t come? and what if it comes and the this virus we need to can to reduce efficacy of it is not good enough

and there are challenges with the amount of contact. roll—out and other challenges that we know about, the anti—vaccine is not withstanding. can you give us, and we are trying to protect those of us who are nervous... this as much as is possible, education and protect as much as possible work, essentially that leaves socialising as the other part of life, is not a question. i have 89 people of activity where it hurt who want to speak. if there are to people transmit the virus. be interventions they must be short. secretary of state. of course the so it is therefore understandable that governments around the world work and the vaccine continues. no vaccine technology is certain but we and around this united kingdom, have already six different vaccines governments of all different stripes, political persuasions have and there are over 100 in development around the world. and all come to the same broad conclusion which is it is necessary to restrict socialising because that thatis development around the world. and that is what underpins the strategy. on the leading vaccines including way we reduce the transmission with the least damage to education and the economy. the oxford vaccine continues effectively. we had seen both here that argument is really important. and overseas just how quickly the the reason the government is virus can take hold and we have to act now to get it under control. cracking down so much on hospitality yes, of course. calderdale had just in places like liverpool is because it is desperate to keep schools and

universities going and for people who really need to go to work to be four people in hospital at the able to do so in a safe and beginning of august, with covid. and spikes injust two beginning of august, with covid. and spikes in just two wards. this environment as possible. because of morning we have got 43 people in those papers, because some of the hospital with covid, six in the icy local restrictions do not seem to be u, 12 deaths this month and almost working so far, there is that 800 positive cases coming through. pressure, there are those saying can my right honourable friend say that maybe we need to look at going what steps he is taking to ensure further. have a look at the shadow that the is not overwhelmed by the virus in the coming months? health secretary. ministers are i‘ve just virus in the coming months? i‘vejust said virus in the coming months? i‘ve just said that we must not have long interventions. these are perfectly within their rights to speeches people are waking to make later. if a member has an intervention to make on the secretary of state on something he has just secretary of state on something he hasjust said secretary of state on something he has just said that is all very well choose and take advice on what they but making the point that members wa nt choose and take advice on what they want to take. wish to make about their constituencies at this stage rather than waiting later is simply not to govern is indeed to choose. right. secretary of state. my but the prime minister and indeed the secretary of state have come honourable friend, because he is an to this dispatch box week after week and told us they are honourable friend, because he is an honourable man, it makes an following the science. important point about wider context what precise moment to the prime minister stop following it? and indeed, i am sorry

to say, sage advice now, after the prime ministers, injust his important point about wider context in just his constituency which is we see that again he has been that we must make sure that we advised to take action control the virus. my heart goes out and has so far refused. it is the same virus, to be families of those in his the same delays, the same country and the same government making constituency who have died. and the the same mistakes again. only alternative to suppressing the viruses that it then expands the key thing i really think we got from this debate was from jonathan exponentially. that is what happens was a labour are saying that they with the virus if br is above one think the restrictions are going to have to go further and they do seem andi with the virus if br is above one and i know that some people do feel to be an increasing number of politicians in the labour party that we should adopt a more relaxed flirting with that idea of a circuit approach but i think it will to more of the sort of thing that my breaker. one of the contenders for honourable friend has related from the leadership before was making that comment a few minutes ago, the his constituency. some people have mayor of london said through a set out, just one second. some spokesperson that he thinks that people have set out this more needs to be seriously considered. relaxed approach including in the so—called great barrington nick thank you for that. we will declaration. and i want to take this talk to you in the next hour. argument head on because on the substance, the great barrington lets remind you about the government‘s new tiered system declaration is underpinned by two of alert for england which comes into force tomorrow.

central claims and both are most of england will be put emphatically false. first it says on the medium level where the rule that if enough people get covid we of six and 10pm hospitality will of each herd immunity. this is curfew will apply. not true. many infectious diseases some areas will be put never reach herd immunity like measles, malaria, aids and flu. and on the high level, with increasing evidence of infection we should have no which means there‘ll be no household mixing indoors, but the rule confidence that we would ever reach of six applies outdoors. the most severe level is very high. had immunity to covid even if that means no mixing of households anywhere. eve ryo ne had immunity to covid even if everyone caught it. herd immunity is a flawed goal without a vaccine. pubs and bars will close unless they provide a substanial meal. evenif a flawed goal without a vaccine. even if could get to it, which we i‘m joined by dr alan maryon davis, can‘t, the second central claim is honorary professor of public health that we can segregate the old and at kings college london. vulnerable on our way to herd good to have you with us thank you immunity. this is simply not possible. the medical director of for your time. i want to ask you the nhs said yesterday, we cannot about this three tier system first somehow fans of the elderly and of all. can it work in terms of bringing the rate of infection down? vulnerable from risk while everyone else returns to normal. it is i think it is a good idea to have co nsta ble else returns to normal. it is constable not practice a couple not when so many people live in different systems around the country because the variation in the intergenerational homes in older people need carers who of course prevalence of the virus is so themselves live in the community and enormous, in some parts of the

not when young people can suffer the debilitating impact of long covid. country i... i‘m done in wiltshire never we have seen cases among young people rise sharply we then see it is very low but in liverpool it is 50 times as high. we have a cases among the over 60s rise patchwork quilt in effect. we need inevitably thereafter. and we are not the kind of country that to have a different system for abandons our vulnerable or just different tiers for different parts locks them up. if we let this virus of the country, that is a good thing. one of the worries is whether continue unchecked the loss of life would be simply too great to or not the day she would have to contemplate. and we know it would liverpool region is strong enough or put her nhs address because my honourable friend has just said. we knew this boat because of what is it strict enough. the chief medical officer gave the impression happened in march and because of what is happening right now. we‘ve yesterday that perhaps more needs to be done in places which were the already heard from the herds of the very top of tier three. what is your royal colleges and the royal college of emergency medicine that we don‘t view on that? i‘m entitled to agree. act fast and come together to quash this virus than we putting the nhs at the moment the strictness of tier under extraordinary strain both the covid treatments and non—cave that three will not be enough. we have to treatments committee. i will give look at the hospital admission way. how do scientists think we will figures and particularly intensive care, they are zooming up quite need this lockdown for and what is

their exit plan? we have seen the alarmingly. i‘m sure the government exit plan from local lockdown is for is watching —— closely. in parts of insta nce exit plan from local lockdown is for instance in leicester where we had a firm local lockdown the case rate came right down. we lifted that and manchester, nottingham and we have sadly seen it start to rise again so it is determined by the anticipate the direction of travel of the virus in terms of its amount of social mixing that the increasing of the curve, notjust looking at it in the current sense but how it will be next week week lockdown reduces and so there is an after and put measures into place argument that in some parts of the well in time to think about. we know country with the case rate has continued to rise there is an argument forfurther continued to rise there is an argument for further ensuring that we don‘t get the contact that is at the government‘s scientific advisers urged action in september and called the root of the virus spreading and for a urged action in september and called fora mini urged action in september and called for a mini lockdown, this circuit breaker as it has been called. if thatis the root of the virus spreading and that is the challenge is how to the government had been done what suggested then, do you think we calibrate the lockdown and get the would be in different position now? virus under control whilst doing the minimum damage to the economy and to i think we would, i mean, education. i will give way. thank would be in different position now? ithink we would, i mean, and would be in different position now? i think we would, i mean, and the weight of the circuit breaker is like a weight of the circuit breaker is likea mini weight of the circuit breaker is like a mini lockdown as you say, but we know that the big lockdown was secretary of state for giving way. will he acknowledge, a simple yes or no, that we would not be in this very effective and what it did about position in the first place and

actually the best exit strategy is pausing the rapid rise of the virus. the trouble with the lockdown or a by having an effective system of circuit breaker rather it will take testing, tracing and isolating which two or three weeks. what happens is locally led and if that were after that? what it does do however working properly, even sage has admitted it isn‘t... we have one of is that it buys you time and with that time you can do a couple of the biggest systems of tracking and tracing in the world. and the idea important things. one you can get that i sometimes get from people in the health service properly deployed this house that somehow it is not and ready to take all the extra one of the biggest in the world are people who will be coming in and one of the biggest in the world are one of the most effective in the well and deal with the current world, i get that in this house. i problems as well. the second thing don‘t get it when i talk to my you can do is help give you time to international colleagues and they build up your test entries and asked the question how did you manage to build this capacity so isolate and particularly those cases where the virus is really random. fast? and that is the truth of it. of course we need to continue to circuit breakers do buy you some build it. of course we do and of time but, of course there are only course we need to make sure it is pa rt time but, of course there are only part of the solution. you mentioned test entries. i want to ask about continuously more the local communities who can often go and that. the uk has essentially built reach the contacts with the national ofa that. the uk has essentially built of a system which is predominantly centralised. is there in your view system find it hard to beat. of an argument for a much local course we need to do that but to approach? definitely, yes, iwas argue that the enormous system that beginning to see that happen

is working so effectively with so particularly in the places where the many brilliant people working on it virus is most prevalent but it is to argue that that is at the root of too late in some ways. my worry is that because the virus is rampant. this challenge is unfortunately to miss the big picture which is sadly this virus passes on until we have a even though it is put into local hands with that it is to make sure vaccine or a massive massive testing resources go with that. if we had capacity that nobody yet has. this over to local people they must have virus passes onto social contact and a resources and be get organised. thatis virus passes onto social contact and that is what we need, unfortunately, to tackle in order to get this under control. i just want to make this thank you forjoining us. point on the numbers. in the first peak, around 8% of people caught so far, the liverpool city region is the only area being put covid and 42,000 people died. if we on to the highest alert tier. don‘t have the virus under control, dan johnson‘s been gauging even with the better survival rates that we now have, thanks to both the reaction there. drug discoveries by british science and improvements in clinical among many cruel ironies here as the police themed pub facing its own practice, those figures will multiply and in addition, then, harder economic measures would lockdown. you don't socially

inevitably be needed to get it under distance in shops, everybody climbs control and needed for longer and if all over each other in the supermarket, but i think we have you, like me, madam deputy speaker, done everything we were asked and wa nt you, like me, madam deputy speaker, want our economy back on full more to make it safe and to make sure that everybody gives their throttle, distance and doesn't get ill. and adding to the sense of unfairness is yesterday in his call with merseyside mps he was asked about a the restaurant opposite that is circuit breaker lockdown and he did allowed to stay open but still not say that sage had recommended expecting to take a hit. you have the lack of trade happening as it this three weeks ago, so is that the is, so you are already down on your case? and will he now publish the footfall, you are already down on full scientific evidence for a your sales, you are trying to keep circuit breaker lockdown? the sage the guys's hours in place and when advice ministers receive is of they are not getting their hours, course published, and we have had their salaries are lower and are not great debates in this house about getting the money that they require. that, and it is published, and then so if we were to actually close and we make decisions that are guided by the science taking into account all they would get 60% of their the science taking into account all the different considerations we need contracted hours, they are actually to look to. i think it is worth better off. come tomorrow, people on both sides of the mersey will live giving credit to the nhs test and in the tightest of restrictions.” trace scheme, but the evidence think it should be closed down for a published yesterday said the impact of the test and trace system was fortnight because it‘s not going to

only having a marginal effect on work. it's changed a lot of peoples reducing the virus. so my argument lives. you are? yeah itjust seems to secretary of state is can he look notjust in to secretary of state is can he look not just in high—risk to secretary of state is can he look notjust in high—risk areas but in all areas to get more of the contact to be going backwards. it's a family tracing done by our fantastic directors of public health their thing for me. ijust love them teams? and their teams? yes, absolutely and we are doing precisely that and the coming, grandchildren but that is horrible. you have to follow the way it works, where it works best, rules, haven't you? for the north is that the big national system west and four other places as well makes the immediate and rapid contact with people who test there was a cigarette paper difference between tier two and tier positive and for more than half of three and it is going to happen to people that is immediately successful and then when contact are them without any sort of real harder to make, they pass the data to the local team who do not have strategy about how we‘re going to cope with that and what we are to the skill to do the immediate, rapid do. there is a warning that it may contacting, but do have the boots on have to go further. i think we will the ground and the local knowledge ultimately have to have more restrictions. we were expecting and that combination of the two is worse over the weekend the fact that what works best where it works well. i will give wait one more time and we have stood in a restaurant is openis then make progress. are most we have stood in a restaurant is open is something positive. grateful to my right honourable obviously we have no money going in friend who is making a very compelling case. will he bear in but we have money going out. we have

mind that in the west midlands, we to pay the bills, we have to pay the are concerned yesterday that the staff. and why there is some funding change that was made was on the basis of neatness and not on medical but it is not the same as it was the la st but it is not the same as it was the need? will basis of neatness and not on medical need ? will he last time. you can't expect people basis of neatness and not on medical need? will he reassure me that he ona minimum will always listen carefully to the west midlands mayor, andy street, ? last time. you can't expect people on a minimum wage to earn 66% of their salary. life here gets harder tomorrow and there is no telling how long this lockdown will last. dan yes, and the introduction of this three level system does mean that in johnson, bbc news, liverpool. some areas where the local area has been working so effectively, under the leadership of andy street in the let‘s speak now to a frontline nhs worker west midlands, to get the curve in the north west of england. laura hother is a trainee flattened, there has been in the nurse and a healthcare assistant in the area. thank you forjoining us on bbc past few days of data that it has news. i wonder if you give us the sense of what you‘re dealing with today compares with what you are made a huge amount of progress. seeing six months ago at the height absolutely recommit to working with of lockdown. so we know how hard nhs andy street, who is an incredibly effective voice for the west midlands, to make sure that what we staff work and we know it is a can do it together can best deliver to control the virus in the west stressful job in regards midlands. i pay tribute to my right staff work and we know it is a honourable friend who makes the case stressfuljob in regards to staffing on this so effectively, because at and keeping the wards going. the

protecting our economy and stress is a different level, the protecting our economy and protecting our economy and protecting our health are not patients cannot see us in the ppe alternatives. we must act and keep the virus under control to protect that we are in which just brings in lives and livelihoods and madam a different level of communication, deputy speaker, i strongly believe especially with patients who have that every single one of us, young hearing issues or dementia and things like that. it is really or old, has the ability to help to difficult obviously then stop and suppress this virus through the actions that we take and the best visitors coming into hospitals and way to protect the vulnerable, to the demands of the job on the people support the nhs and to protect the and covered words have been —— covid economy is to get the rate of transmission down at. now, turning to the steps we are taking to do ward. the patients are even sicker this and that therefore the instruments before the house today, and they are running round the wards yesterday, the prime minister provided an update on the measures even more and you are doing this that we are taking and this centre job, you are doing the six months is three local covid—19 alert levels ago with the under staff and those in england. the incidents, the rate issues and now you are doing it with a higher demand but we still have of transmission, varies very the hundred thousand vacancies in significantly within the eight the hundred thousand vacancies in the nhs and it is a question of how different districts of north you can do these jobs with more yorkshire at. we are looking at demand when you do not have the

putting different areas within the resources to do it. we have managed different tiers, can we look at it by district rather than at a county to get through once and we managed level? yes, absolutely and in fact i to get through once and we managed to make it work as we always do, but will go further than that. we look now again on the end of our the at it at subdistrict level, if that second one now and i think a lot of is appropriate, in high peak, we put staff are tired and drained and wondering how we can do it again. foot boards into level two and the that is the feeling of it. how do rest of the wards stayed in at level one. so we are prepared to look at you think you are going to do it ain? you think you are going to do it again? because i think a lot of us subdistrict level if that is are thinking how on earth we are appropriate. and in the case of for going to do this again but going into this cold and dark of winter insta nce appropriate. and in the case of for instance some of the districts rather than the light of sunnier within north yorkshire, they have days of spring. how are you going to individual outbreaks in individual get through? that's a question a lot institutions that we are managing. we do not mistake that the general community transmission and therefore of the staff are asking. we are put them into a higher level than it thinking that normally we are going isa put them into a higher level than it is a necessary. i‘m very happy to go to into this time of year through the local epidemiology that questioning the wind pressures —— affects my honourable friend‘s winter pressures stop the winter constituency. that come in a sense, brings us to the point of these pressures within a pandemic are another thing. last year, we were local covid alert levels. these are the first sis not even thinking about this.

local covid alert levels. these are the first 51s that are being debated obviously now we know what we are under the commitments we made that expecting, we have had that significant national measures will knowledge of the first wave, so we affect the whole of england and uk are managing to prepare in the sense wide, with then we will consult that we have had it already. but parliament and wherever possible there is a concern that we still withhold votes before the regulations come into force and that have not got the staff and the is what we are doing it today at. —— resources in that sense because now we have this double whammy of having will hold votes. where firm action a pandemic and the winter pressures. has been taken, for instance in the staff morale is very down and leicester, or in bolton, where we flatten to the curve, our local approach has inevitably they the only way to get around that is produced different sets of rules in for our staff to be able to be different parts of the country. is my right honourable friend for valued to keep them in the nhs and sutton coldfield was setting out. we keep our patients safe. the only way have already moved towards a to do that and value your staff is simpler, national rules centred on the rule of six and now we are to do that and value your staff is to pay the staff properly.” acting to simplify and standardise the rules at a local level as well. to do that and value your staff is to pay the staff properly. i want to these regulations set out three see you so you don‘t have resources, levels of alert, medium, high and you say there aren‘t enough staff. very high. the medium alert level, do you have enough protective

which will cover most of the equipment this time around?m country, will consist of a current do you have enough protective equipment this time around? in the region and across country at the national measures, this includes the rule of six and closure of moment we are seeing a lot of ppe at hospitality at 10pm. the hallett level reflects the interventions and the minute in the areas that i am many local areas at the moment, does in. but that was an issue and it is make a higher level, that is preventing social mixing between a worry about whether we will run out again. but at the moment we do different hassles indoors, with the seem to have enough equipment but rule of six outdoors. super simple, obviously the first time when we did no household mixing socially that was scary. at the minute we indoors. the rule of six outdoors. are, but even having that equipment the very high alert level will apply it is hard to work and it is not where transmission rates are rising like we have got this equipment... most rapidly and where the nhs will it causes pressure, sores in your soon be under unbearable pressure face and it is heavy stuff to work without further restrictions. in these areas, the government will set in. it is not nice stuff stop i am a baseline of prohibiting social sure, laura, that people watching mixing whilst allowing households to this want to tell you that you and mixing whilst allowing households to mix in public outdoor spaces and the reason for that is that is where the your colleagues are valued. thank your colleagues are valued. thank you so much forjoining us. risk of transmission is lowest, so long as of course the rule of success followed. this baseline is set out in at the very high alert the london mayor, sadiq khan has told the bbc it‘s

"inevitable" that the city will eventually move into the second regulation is being considered tier of new covid restrictions. today. —— rule of six is followed. mr khan said cases of the virus in the capital were growing pubs and bars will be closed and at an "alarming" rate. i almost promised londoners i would advised against travel in and out of very high risk areas. we also offer be upfront and frank and honest, and the bad news is all a package of support for the indicators is that the number individuals, businesses and councils of new cases, the positivity rate and this includes more support for local test and trace, as many have and admissions to hospitals, asked for, more funding for local admissions and icus, enforcement and the offer of help cases of older people, from the armed services. and thejob all the indicators we have are that things are going in support scheme is announced by the the wrong direction. chancellor. madam deputy speaker, this is best done as a team effort londoners have made monumental and we want to build local support sacrifices and that is one on the ground before we introduce of the reasons why we have not got it as bad in london as other parts of the country. these measures wherever possible. is i‘m keen to make sure in each area, we will work with we as a city go as one. local government leaders on the so on a daily basis i speak extra measures that need to be to council leaders, taken. we do not rule out further public health england and others to analyse the data and i‘m afraid restrictions in hospitality, the bad news is inevitable that leisure, entertainment or personal at some stage we will pass ca re leisure, entertainment or personal care sectors, but the retail, the trigger point and need to go schools and universities will remain open at. i'm very grateful to my from medium to high. that is the second tier in

right honourable friend for giving the government‘s three tier system. way. buying in the local community, i would consider whether he would and wherever you are across the uk, consider a government postcode if you want to know checker so they know exactly where they should be in having their three the rules in your area you can search by your tiers. my honourable friend, the postcode on our website — honourable gentleman, my friend the honourable gentleman, my friend the honourable gentleman, my friend the i want to bring you the latest honourable gentleman, says from a secondary position that was his coronavirus figures now that have idea, but success has many fathers, been released by the government. the because i can tell my honourable friend of hear that such a postcode government has said that as of nine o‘clock this morning there had been checker was launched this morning andi a further 17,000 234 laboratory checker was launched this morning and i will send him the link. it is in it still so it is constantly going to be improved. —— it is in confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk. that brings the total number of cases in the uk to 634,920. there beta still. a postcode checker is a great idea, it tells you the local we re risk and furthermore, the nhs covid of cases in the uk to 634,920. there were also 143 deaths. that is within app, which has now been downloaded 28 days of a positive test. to put

by about 17 million people, that has that into some kind of context for a link to your local alert level as you, and monday there were 50 well. so, tending back to the deaths, i‘m telling you that there measures before us, we will keep we re deaths, i‘m telling you that there were 143 and that is the highest these measures under constant review and while at the overarching daily number sensed the 3rd ofjune. regulation sunset after six months, paragraph one of regulation 1105, makes clear that the allocation of a people in england who were shielding during the height particular area to local alert level of the first wave of the coronavirus three will automatically expire after 28 days. we will work with pandemic have been told to take local areas on the level they need to be out and this work continues at extra precautions as the number of cases rises. more pace. decisions to move local areas than 2 million people suffering from conditions like cancer, between the levels will be asthma and arthritis spent months shielding at home earlier this year. considered by the] bc, working they will now receive a letter across government and with local in the post advising them on how to keep safe. government on the normal weekly cycle, while of course there will be times when we need to act quickly to the government is not a pilot scheme to speed up the process to allow contain the virus, we want to give relatives to visit care homes. under the opportunity for the house to consider that the measures in the the scheme will be considered key medium and high local alert levels workers to allow safe visits. and the baseline measures for the campaigners and calling on ministers very high alert level and i would to allow elderly residents to have urge the house to support the more chances to see their family

thank all the local authorities who have been working with us to keep stages of our investigation, it is a tragic and sad incident and it the virus under control, but there is more work to do. madam deputy resulted in the deaths of four people from the same family. we have speaker, the regulations under consideration today also include specially trained family liaison officers with the family at the measures on the obligations for moment, but as you can imagine, it businesses. regulation 1005 makes it isa a legal requirement for a range of moment, but as you can imagine, it is a horrendous incident but there premises to collect, maintain is a horrendous incident but there is no speculation in relation to the causes of the accident. the next of kin have been informed and they are now being supported. our thoughts go details. these are amended by out to the family and also anyone affected by this incident. regulation 1046 which adds the need for a range of premises to display information about the need to wear our 0ur correspondence was our correspondence was at the scene. face coverings and finally, madam deputy speaker, regulation 1029 this was a horrendous accident on this road heading into oxford and increases the fines for those what is a very busy road and last flouting a targeted action to close night a very wet road. it is not at specific public places that are a exactly clear what happened but the threat to public health. although accident happened just before 10pm 1029 was intended to deliver the last night and involved a car, a 10pm closing time, the elements subaru vehicle and an hgv lorry. the

relating to the 10pm closing time police tell us that the police who art superseded by the local alert died were in the car itself. they level system and these powers in we re died were in the car itself. they were all members of the same family. they were a 29—year—old woman, the regulation 1029 are therefore mother of the children, the woman revoked. so in practice, the effect of regulation 1029 is to deliver died, an eight—year—old daughter enforcement against individual dark died, her six—year—old son died places that have been flouting the and her four—year—old daughter died. rules which is one of the top the father of the children and demands of councils in their fight against coronavirus. i note that another 18—month—old daughter were taken to the hospital in oxford most people, and most businesses, have been doing their bit and these where they are said to be in a changes are there to ensure that the critical condition. we spoke to an vast majority of responsible eyewitness who heard the collision and then came out and saw the businesses are not undermined by aftermath. he said it sounded like others who are not following the an almighty bang just before 10pm rules. i will happily give way. thank you, madam deputy speaker. the last night. when he got here he said secretary of state talks about a the wreckage was strewn all over the regulation that has been in for four weeks in terms of pubs closing at road and in fact the subaru vehicle 10pm. and only some undoubted involved was unrecognisable. he said positives on health, but we some the wreckage was just everywhere you negatives of people together on can see. the 56—year—old driver of public transport and the streets. the hgv lorry suffered minor diddy positives outweigh the injuries and is being spoken to by negatives as far as far as the science is concerned ?

the police. thank you for that, negatives as far as far as the science is concerned? —— do the positives. i believe that they do andi positives. i believe that they do and i will give three reasons why i think that these measures are at the right one is. the first is that we duncan. already now have evidence from accident and emergency departments that we have seen a reduction in unemployment has surged as the pandemic continues to hitjobs. it alcohol—related admissions late at night after the tempe curfew. this was it has risen x... for sofia oil, is both important in its own right, but it is also a proxy as a measure of how much people are drinking late losing herjob as project manager a at night and therefore is evidence atan losing herjob as project manager a at an e—learning centre could hardly have come at a more opera time. she that there is less at mixing and and her partner just have come at a more opera time. she and her partnerjust bought a new drinking late at night. the second home with a hefty mortgage supported is that whilst people may be coming by two salaries. after lockdown, she out and mixing after 10pm, they are was furloughed and then she found doing so largely outside and they out she was pregnant. then she lost herjob. it has been quite would otherwise it be mixing inside demoralising in the sense that i am the premises. it isjust easier to photograph outside. the final point, not able to to do what i had and the appeal i would make to the house, is as follows. since in order committed to do when we took on the to control this virus we need to house. you make these plans and you

reduce the amount of social contact, don‘t everfor a second house. you make these plans and you don‘t ever for a second think that things will fall apart as much as sadly, that is necessary, and we are trying to protect as much as they have done. sophia has tried u nsuccessfully they have done. sophia has tried unsuccessfully to try new work to possible education and to protect as help pay the mortgage after lady‘s much as it is possible work, one. but with unemployment rising to 4.5% in the month of august and essentially, that leaves socialising as the other part of life, of redundancies doubling to 227,000, it is not easy. i would like to see the activity, where people transmit the virus. and so, it is therefore government have some kind of a review for that bracket of people understandable that governments that have found themselves falling through the cracks a little. those around the world and around this people who have already been made united kingdom, governments of all redundant are now struggling to find anotherjob redundant are now struggling to find another job because of different strike political redundant are now struggling to find anotherjob because of the redundant are now struggling to find another job because of the flooded market, because of the change in persuasion have come up body to the climate in terms ofjob hunting. same conclusion which is that it is market, because of the change in climate in terms of job hunting. the government‘sjob climate in terms of job hunting. the government‘s job support scheme after the further scheme ends into thejob retention bonus, which pays necessary to restrict socialising because that way, we reduce the £1000 for every per employee brought back fairly and kept untiljanuary, transmission with the least damage thejob support to education and the economy. so back fairly and kept untiljanuary, the job support scheme which pays up to 22% of salary where employers are whilst there is both direct and and shorter hours. last friday or approximate evidence for the impact, friday the government promised two

the positive impact, of this thirds of of wages for governors. measure, there is also the strategic point which is if we want to control mark but i think tank says of those the virus and we were not to do measures will help in less than a this, we would have to do something quarter of a million people. it says else and we want to, as a matter of at one point in a million people. it says at one point in million jobs could be saved if the money for the policy choice, protect education and job retention bonus were instead spent on a greater incentive for firms to keep staff on half—time. protect work. madam deputy speaker, i will now come to my concluding lot of jobs remarks, because we know only too firms to keep staff on half—time. lot ofjobs could be saved. by well the damage that this lethal taking the wasteful part of the furlough scheme and focusing it on virus can infect most of this those jobs, it would actually mean trainer can put on our nhs and the we will not spend much money, it way it can upend our closest would just mean targeting the relationships and our freedom to do the things we love. i know that we resources more narrowly at those who are asking a lot of the british really need it. self-employed people people, but we also know that the from cabbies to electricians have together, we can shift this curve not been offered the same level of and we now are called upon to do it support as employees. they cannot claim up to two thirds of their once more. measures before the house income if they‘re in the lockdown today will help in that fight and i area. many have already been commend the regulations to the excluded from support schemes dimly because they are set up as limited house. companies. over the past year nearly the question is motion number three. one quarter of a million before i call the shadow secretary self—employed people have lost their livelihoods. with big employers like

of state, it will be obvious to the the owner of this bar now consulting house, those in the chamber and those watching around the building that i have more than 80 people who on large scalejob the owner of this bar now consulting on large scale job cuts, the risk is are trying to catch my eye and that that many women to benefits and see their incomes drop sharplyjust weeks before christmas. these will we have until 6pm to conclude the debate. so i'm afraid that means have harsh facts on them, their families and the wider economy. starting right at the beginning in order to be starting right at the beginning in orderto be fairto starting right at the beginning in order to be fair to everybody, because i appreciate that this is not an occasion for long, thought fourferry companies have been given out speeches on matters of government contracts worth a total of 77 million pounds —— principle, but on matters to do with to provide extra freight capacity when the brexit individual constituencies and transition period ends. therefore to try and give as many the deal has been reached with brittany ferries, dfds, p&o ferries and stena line. people from as many parts of the ministers said they needed to ensure country the chance to contribute, we will start with a time limit of medical supplies and other vital three minutes. jonathan ashworth. goods could still get to the uk, if checks were causing significant delays at the border. thank you, madame deputy speaker. i will endeavour to be brief and not president trump‘s supreme court detain the house for too long. the nominee — amy coney barrett — house will understand we are grappling with a virus that spreads was asked about whether she would

with speed and severity. throughout this crisis, we have urged the overturn us abortion law and whether government to adopt an approach with she promised to back the white house the aim of suppressing the virus, in any case involving presidential bringing the r below one to save lives, minimise harm and keep elections. republicans want are children in school. this has to be confirmed in the election in three our priority. no one should be weeks‘ time. gary, tell us a little surprised that as we are in autumn and going into winter, this would present us challenges. before the bit more about what she has been summer, the academy of medical saying and whether she will vote to sciences, in a report commissioned overturn the us law on abortion. she by the government, modelled that we could see 119,000 deaths between won‘t say, is the simple answer to that. that is in common actually september and june 2021. the academy with a lot of people, a lot of also warned, as did we, that without an effective test, trace and isolate nominees who come before the judiciary committee, they will not regime, the virus would get out of commit to judgments on cases without control. sadly, we were proved correct. the secretary of state has seeing the facts and specifics of run through the numbers on the any particular case. she is being pressed on that by the democrats on this committee because they do prevalence of the virus. but can i believe she is a staunch conservative and she certainly is. underline the point that hospital admissions are rising. yesterday the agenda on the right is is to

give to go the right to abortion. 3665 patients were in hospital in president trump has been clear that he wants people in supreme court who england, 568 more than on the 23rd would overturn the right to abortion of march, when we went into and also people on the supreme court lockdown. since september, 856 who would defend him and his case in patients have been admitted to the event of any kind of dispute of critical care across england, wales the event of any kind of dispute of the upcoming election in three and northern ireland, more with weeks‘ time. this was her answer every week that goes by. the largest when she was asked about whether or number of critical admissions are in not she would give any commitments to anyone. it would be a complete the north—west, north—east, yorkshire and the midlands. over 100 violation of the independence of the patients are on ventilation for judiciary for anyone to put a covid across the north—east and justice on the court as a means of yorkshire. over 130 patients are on pertaining a particularly result. ventilation across the north west that is why as i was mentioning to and a disproportionate number of those in critical care that they are senator before the questionnaire i fell out with this committee makes from poorer backgrounds and from clear that i have made no black, asian and minority ethnic pre—commitments to anybody about how communities. it is a reminder that i will decide a case. that is out of respect for article three and its covid thrives on and exaggerates inequalities and that any long—term designation of the judiciary of a covid strategy can‘t just inequalities and that any long—term covid strategy can‘tjust rely on a co—equal and independent branch of vaccine, but demands an all—out assault on health inequalities as government. so there are a flat well. and just as hospital beds denial that she has given any fill, there are more concerns about commitment to the president or to the availability of beds for the

anyone else about how she will rest of winter. last week, warning decide specific cases. that is not is that some hospitals across the north of england are set to run out good enough for many of these democrats, they do believe that she of beds for covid patients within wouldn‘t simply been kicked an days. nhs providers reminding us attempt to president trump wasn‘t that the sustained physical and confident that you have been voting particular ways are particular psychological pressure on health issues. her questioning will continue right throughout today and staff is threatening to push them beyond their limits. the bma is saying that without stringent during tomorrow and will that's a measures, the nhs and its workforce will quickly be overwhelmed. this house cannot understate how serious shame but i think we got the sense of that. let‘s catch up with the the situation is. so yes, as the weather now. secretary of state said, our clinicians have made extraordinary strides in treatment. we know cloud and rain folsom, blue sky for steroids and antiviral drugs will others. this is how things pan out help improve mortality. but we also know that when infections rise, like for the rest of the day. rain in night follows day, hospitalisations east anglia and the south—east. some rise and sadly, that means more will of that rain could clip into northern ireland as we go into the die. and for those who avoid night. one or two showers elsewhere hospitalisation, many of them can be but clear spells as well.

afflicted with serious long—term debilitating health problems, so temperatures generally between five called long covid, and none of us and eight celsius. but some places in scotland could get close to know whether that syndrome will stay freezing. some showers around in the for the rest of their lives or whether they will recover in the morning across scotland and northern next 12 months. but again, just as ireland. there will be more showers we have to protect our nhs, we pushing across the north sea in east cannot allow the mass industrial, england and may be east wales. windy never seen in the history of the today in southern areas, not quite nhs, halt to elective surgery and as windy in northern areas and delaying treatment. we have to mobilise our national health service temperatures are between 12 and 16 to perform the care for non—covid celsius. towards the end of the week patients as well. that decision in it looks mostly dry. lots of march, although understandable, has sunshine in the west and it stays on the cool side. bequeathed us waiting lists of 4 million, and today there are 111,000 hello this is bbc news. the headlines: people waiting beyond 12 months for treatment. in january, people waiting beyond 12 months for treatment. injanuary, it was just 1600. 3 treatment. injanuary, it was just 1600.3 million people treatment. injanuary, it was just 1600. 3 million people have missed a further 143 deaths of coronavirus out on vital cancer screening. one in three cancer patients have said their treatment has been impacted by we re their treatment has been impacted by a further 143 deaths of coronavirus were recorded on tuesday. it is the the effects of covid. i make these highest daily figure since june points not to criticise the were recorded on tuesday. it is the highest daily figure sincejune but

secretary of state, but to reinforce there is often a reporting delay the point that we have to protect over the weekend. our national health service as we go ministers defend the new coronavirus restrictions in england as it emerges their scientific into the winter months. i know that advisers had called for a short ‘circuit breaker‘ lockdown weeks ago. no member across this house is mps are currently debating complacent about these matters. the new measures which will see tighter restrictions in parts every member is determined to see infection rates reduced and care of england from tomorrow. improved. i know everyone wants to police say three young children see this backlog in non—covid care and a 29—year—old woman from the same family have died a car crash near oxford. tackle. none of us wants to see this more evidence of the economic impact virus leave the weakest and failed of coronavirus a sharp to fend for themselves. i do not increase in unemployment come to this house to caricature the the three months to august position of any honourable member. president trump‘s nominee our differences are about how we for the supreme court, apply the tools we have at our amy coney barrett says she has "no agenda" as she faces her first disposal and how we confront the question and answer session biggest public health crisis for 100 yea rs. as biggest public health crisis for 100 years. as the secretary of state in the us senate. said, we know that the virus thrives on close human contact, especially where air is stagnant and in sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, conditions that are poorly ventilated. we know the virus is here‘s katherine downes. airborne and that our best defences

are hand hygiene, distancing, mask wearing and avoiding crowds. but we in the past few hours there has been also know that a full national breaking news that cristiano ronaldo lockdown, stretching four weeks like has tested positive for coronavirus. we had three april, with a rule he is doing well, without symptoms and is in isolation. the remainder of the squad have tested effectively of one would be negative for coronavirus. here is our sports correspondent. he was disastrous for society. but nobody is proposing that. the question is, what measures can be taken now to bring r below one without resorting pa rt of our sports correspondent. he was part of the portugal team that drew to that full lockdown? we know that with paris on sunday. this was the when 8 million children returned to school, that would have put pressure la st with paris on sunday. this was the last time he played. he is one of on infection rates. i‘m critical of the government for not providing the the most famous footballers. he has extra testing capacity that should been named world player of the year have been obvious. but we must do around five times. he will be all we can to keep children in missing from portugal's team school. the implications of children tomorrow night because he has tested not being in school are devastating to their life chances and positive for coronavirus. last week development. we know that crowded we saw coronavirus cases in the public transport puts pressure on scotland camp. cristiano rinaldo is infection rates. but i don‘t believe certainly not the first footballer any member of this house would

consider it sensible to close public to have tested positive. on the eve transport networks, to close the underground or the metrolink across of scotland's game against israel manchester. we have to encourage la st of scotland's game against israel last week, three scotland players had to withdraw last week. israel people to work from home, and many are doing that. but there are many also had a couple of positive cases who can‘t work from home and they in theircamp. they should be protected with access to also had a couple of positive cases in their camp. they have been instances in rugby union as well. in mass testing, particularly nhs one rugby team more than 20 players staff. i hope the government get on and staff have tested positive. they had to forfeit their final match of with routinely testing nhs staff. but that leaves us with few levers the season. we are seeing more and to pull, which brings me to more cases in sport affecting hospitality. i am sorry to say it, matches and sport. cristiano rinaldo but pubs and bars to bring people is probably one of the most famous footballers in the world and the together. every member across this house notes that after a few drinks, most high—profile case we have seen people lose their inhibitions. it in sport. we may have more news of should come as no surprise that social distancing breaks down and if more cases in sport in a bit. but bars and pubs are poorly ventilated, england will be without two players as some are, airborne transmission is more of a risk. and i know for tomorrow. one has been given members will point out to me that leave of absence for personal reasons and another has been left the data shows household interaction is the biggest driver of

transmission. but how does the virus out because of coronavirus reasons but he has now been withdrawn get into the household in the first because of injury. manchester united place? it doesn‘t come down the chimney like father christmas, madame deputy speaker. someone is mike lucy bronze is back in the brings it into the house. but if we cannot close schools or workplaces, women‘s team. with just four days to if we cannot close shops or shut down public transport, the only lever we have is hospitality. so go until rugby league, challenged a yes, we support the restrictions that have been announced yesterday final, red devils say they have by the secretary of state under prime minister and we know from the experience of bolton and leicester players who have tested positive for that pub closures did have an coronavirus. it is the club‘s first impact. the virus is still prevalent final in more than half a century. they say two players have tested in my city and in bolton, but without those pub closures, the positive and some others are virus would have been given up inconclusive. for now self—isolated. further. so we support the measures that have been announced, difficult as they are. and we support the this cup will be held in 2023 in spain for the first time. spain will measures aimed at containing the amount of time that people can spend be the 60 european country to host

in the pub. i understand the the tournament but there is the 2021 procedural point is that the vision to look forward to before secretary of state has made about the instruments before us with that which has been played in ohio. respect to the 10pm curfew. he that is the solhelm cup. bbc sports knows, as i know, that many members are sceptical across the house about the 10pm curfew. we won‘t stand in personality of the year award will the 10pm curfew. we won‘t stand in the way of the passage of that statutory instrument. but if the be held in december in salford. procedures of the house would have allowed it, we would have brought forward an amendment to that part of thank you. let‘s return to the news the instrument to implement the that a further 143 deaths within 28 welsh scenario where as i understand it, there is drinking up time, off days of a positive test for sales are banned at ten o‘clock and coronavirus were recorded on tuesday. this is more than double you don‘t have a hard stop at 10pm. the previous day‘s figure. this we have all seen the pictures, as figure suggests that deaths of the honourable member from we have all seen the pictures, as the honourable memberfrom bexhill and battle pointed out. but i do coronavirus are doubling every fortnight. the office for national have to say to my honourable friend, statistics said that 343 deaths many of whom make these points about city centre is filled with revellers coming out of the pub, it is not as involved virus. in the previous two if we saw these pictures only once weeks the figure the 10pm curfew was introduced. we

have seen these pictures before in our city centres, sadly. i have been on public transport after 11 at night in city centres and seen people, so this is a long—standing issue. the 10pm curfew does not help, but let‘s not pretend it has caused these issues. i will give was hundred the stark reality of coronavirus cases now increasing across the whole of the country way. will he amend it so that means, inevitably, the number off—licences can‘t sell after 10pm ? of deaths is also going up, and significantly. according to the latest figures from the office for national statistics, yes, i would. deaths were registered in the uk in the week up to october 2nd off—licences can‘t sell after 10pm ? yes, iwould. if off—licences can‘t sell after 10pm ? were nearly 600 above average yes, i would. if i off—licences can‘t sell after 10pm ? yes, iwould. if i put off—licences can‘t sell after 10pm ? yes, i would. if i put forward that the men, i hope the honourable for this time of year. gentleman would have gone through 343 of those deaths involved did division lobbies with us. i know covid—19, an increase of almost 50% on the previous week. he is relaxed about going through over the course of a month, the lobbies since he left the the number of deaths quadrupled. but despite this, today‘s government. excuse me, i drank my numbers remain a fraction water too quickly because your of what they were in the first peak intervention was shorter than was earlier this year, when they reached 9,500 per week in april. anticipating. it is madame deputy numbers are still small. speaker‘s faults. i beg your pardon, but even though numbers are still it is not the virus, i can assure small, the trend is rapidly upwards. we need to play in all these members. many members will know that figures at a local level, and we do need transparency

the decision is made to put an area from the government to understand how we weight for different figures restrictions will be effective if on how we then weight the policies made in conjunction with local dependent on those figures. people. i know this well as a meanwhile, another important leicester member where we have had restrictions now for 106 days. development in the pandemic. people in towns like bury or bolton, in the united states at 25—year—old greater manchester or borough like wolverhampton or west bromwich and man has been infected by coronavirus parts of birmingham, as the twice. the second infection was more severe. experts are playing down the honourable gentleman said earlier, people living there need clarity about their future and local leaders significance. there will always be need reassurance that there is a cases of people who get reinfected but i am quite optimistic that after plan. local leaders need reassurance that if they are put into a almost a year of coronavirus, i particular tear, there is a plan to get them out of that tier and moved think we would have seen if there had been a strong signal that people into the lower tiers. it is not can get reinfected in the short term. the concern remains that some clear at the moment why particular people might not be developing the areas are in the medium tier and not immunity that would normally be in tier two. i don‘t want to pick on expected after being infected by my near parliamentary neighbour from charnwood, but i hope he can answer

when he responds to the debate, why coronavirus. prime minister has is leicester in tier two with the restrictions, but his constituency rejected the demand from the first minister of wales from a travel ban of charnwood, where infection rates are currently 150 per 100,000, for people from england crossing the isn‘t? why is it that north east border. mark drake said warned he derbyshire, where infection rates would close the border unless boris are 164 per 100,000, they are not in that tier? why is it barrow, where infection rates are 277 per 100,000, johnson prevented people from thatis infection rates are 277 per 100,000, that is not in that tier? there are visiting wales from hotspots. boris lots of other examples. people johnson says the guidance is clear. living in areas where restrictions are in place would like to be reassured that there is consistency i will wales correspondence joins us on these matters and that decisions now. does this mean that we won‘t be are made in a transparent way. i don‘t want to pick on his area, but getting a ban. it means that the he can see the point i‘m trying to welsh government will probably push ahead with the legislation that it make. says it can enact in order to stop of course those areas where there is people coming into wales from coronavirus hotspots in england or hospitality closures, they need to other parts of the uk. the first put. is a financial offer for tea at minister has written two three, the side of the house does not think it goes far enough and is administrations in scotland and adequate. —— tier three. there is no northern ireland repeating this request for travel restrictions.

financial support for tf two, even though there will be a significant what mark drakeford would like is impact on the local economy, as we the same rules that we have in welsh have seen in leicester. finally, on lock downs. lock downs are also lock tiers two and three, could the ins. if you are in a council area minister responding later, say a little bit about care homes, because what does he say to the thousands of under lockdown, you shouldn‘t leave families who under tier two and now u nless under lockdown, you shouldn‘t leave unless you have a valid reason like work or care. the welsh government three will not be able to visit a believes if this doesn‘t happen to loved one in a care home, because other administrations they could in false a ban here in wales. we have the impact of been reporting on the number of cases and deaths in england, how is it looking in wales? the rates are lower than merseyside and nottingham. in nottingham there are this brings me to testing and 800 cases per 100,000. in tracing. one of the great strides we pembrokeshire there are more like 30 made in leicester was door—to—door cases per 100,000. that said, there testing. can the minister guarantee are hotspots in the south wales

that any area and tier two and tier valleys. in cardiff, the number of three will get capacity for door—to—door testing? and back in deaths are still in single figures august, the government promised that but speaking to people in intensive local areas would have more control over testing trace backed up by ca re but speaking to people in intensive care units, there are growing local authority but with this test admissions. inevitably in a few system it was reported yesterday that only areas in tier three would weeks we think the death toll will have greater local control over contact tracing. why wasn‘t this put rise. in place months ago and why not everywhere a cross in place months ago and why not everywhere across the country, not the netherlands is one of the worst just here to be? this is the point hit countries in the second way. it that the honourable memberfrom forest of dean made and he made it is expected that new restrictions extremely well. if the testing will be imposed. i will is in the hague. interface regime, i‘m sorry, has become a broken system that continues to miss fire and we even have sage now warning that it is having a marginal impact on transmission as the right honourable gentleman said, to be frank, and i know our position has grown in this, but to be frank, if they have come according to reports in the hague, bars and according to reports in the hague, up but to be frank, if they have come up with a solution by now they never bars a nd restau ra nts according to reports in the hague, bars and restaurants will be closed

entirely. people will be stopped from buying alcohol in shops or will. scrap the contract, put public online after 8pm. these are new health and local nhs partnerships and controls of testing and invest measures designed to tighten and in the widespread backward contact curb the rapidly increasing rates of tracing we need. it is still in its infection here. we have seen 6000, infa ncy tracing we need. it is still in its infancy and absolutely vital to getting a control of the virus. we 7000 daily rates over the past few need to expand it at a local level. days. the dutch prime minister works in this turret in parliament and he i think need to expand it at a local level. ithink an need to expand it at a local level. i think an forgiving way. but he had little choice but to go further agreed with me that one of the and try to limit the spread of reasons why sage said that test and face is having emotional impact is because of the isolate but is not coronavirus here in the netherlands. working and does he agree with me that rather than slapping £10,000 fines on people for not self officials in china say they have isolating what we actually need to tested more than 3 million people in the last 48 hours after a new do is provide incentives and support that people isolate? the honourable outbreak of coronavirus in the lady is absolutely right. i‘ve had one of these exchanges with the eastern city. a cluster of cases was secretary of state almost on a twice—weekly basis and i remind myself of the remarks i have made an found here. china has gone almost dispatch box to remind myself of two months without an outbreak like what he said in case i can catch out and all those kinds of things i this. our correspondent is in notice that we were making this

shanghai with more details on this argument months and months and massive exercise. this reminds us of months ago. and it is not good the scale that china‘s government enough to give one £500 payment. and the infrastructure it has in people need support to isolate place maintains to deal with because if you are poor, only zero—hours contract force to make the choice between feeding your coronavirus and fresh outbreaks. family and going to work, you will there is hypervigilance here, particularly in big cities such as go to work. it‘s one of the most significant failures in the government, i am afraid to say, shanghai or beijing. there is still not fixed it. we would argue hypervigilance about the possibility again that they have to put testing of fresh outbreaks. it happened in and tracing in the hands of public the home of china‘s navy. it health and local nhs partnerships because unless we get testing sorted happened there in the weekend. three out we will have a never—ending roller—coaster of restrictions while cases emerged and we now have 12 deaths and damage continue. but when confirmed cases being treated. six it comes to the overall set of restrictions announced yesterday the asymptomatic cases. it is believed fundamental question for us as an opposition is not whether they go the outbreak centred around a chest too far but whether the overall hospital in the city. one case is a taxi driver which is of particular package in fact goes far enough. there was a question placed by the concern because he had the virus but chief medical officer himself at the

downing street press conference was travelling around with people in and out of his taxi. we have had a vast scale of testing in the past 24 yesterday, extra measures will be needed on top of those announced on hours. they don‘t test everyone over monday if transmission rates will be lowered. will they reverse the of five day period, that takes is up to friday. in the last 24 hours as rising tide of hospital admissions they have ramped up their testing, and critical care admissions? i no new cases have been reported. obviously hope so but i am sorry, i fear not. and the rate of growth in the virus may at this stage be quicker in the northern regions. but the embers are burning brightly everywhere else as well. and i fear 143 deaths have been reported, the further action is going to be needed. now, the prime minister said highest since june. ministers defend the new coronavirus restrictions yesterday that make the sage minutes in england as it emerges that came out after the press their scientific advisers had called for a short ‘circuit breaker‘ lockdown weeks ago. conference, frustratingly, warned of a very large epidemic with police say three young children and a 29 year old woman catastrophic consequences. the from the same family have died burden of a large second wave would fall disproportionately on the fei in a car crash near oxford

list in society but also those on lower incomes and black asian minority ethnic communities. that last point is exactly what is currently happening in our i see you president trump has tested damn units across the country. and the posted his first rally. he told his same minutes reveal that should be supporters as he could stomach —— government was also advised to close that he could kiss everyone. all hospitality, move or university teaching online and put in place a national circuit break three weeks ago with immediate action. the government rejected that advice, presumably in favour of the measures they queued for hours to witness we are debating today. and of the return of their homecoming hero. covid precautions in place, but most in the crowd were maskless. as was their commander—in—chief, course, it is only advice to government, ministers are perfectly within their rights to choose what a beaming president tossed out maga advised to take and what advice not to take. to govern is indeed to themed masks to the crowd — a retrospective gesture choose but the prime minister and from a leader still recovering from the virus. indeed the secretary of state have one thing with me, the nice part, come to this dispatch box week after i went through it, now they say i‘m immune. week and told us they are following the science. so, at what precise i feel so powerful. i‘ll walk into that audience. cheering and applause. i‘ll walk in there, i‘ll kiss everyone in that audience.

moment to be prime ministers stop president trump landed in florida following the science? and indeed, i only hours after his doctor had said am sorry to same, sage advice to government to take action in march but the prime minister was too slow. now, after the prime minister spoke, kiss the guys and the beautiful we see yet again he has been advised women. give everyone a big case. to ta ke we see yet again he has been advised to take action and has so far give everyone a big case. refused. but it is the same virus, president trump landed in florida the same delays, the same country in only hours after his doctor had said he tested negative on consecutive days, despite questions about the validity of the test. the same delays, the same country in the same delays, the same country in the same government making the same regardless, he was keen to show strength. you know the risk groups, m ista kes the same government making the same mistakes again. our constituents you know the older people. will ask, is history repeating see, fortunately, i‘m not an old person. i‘m very young and i‘m itself? because of these tiers don‘t in such perfect shape. cheering and applause. it was a bravado performance that work, then what? tierfour, tier dwelt more on his own recovery, with few reminders that the pandemic five? what‘s the plan? there isn‘t has led to more than one. madam deputy speaker. we had 211,000 deaths in america. all chant: four more years! whack a mole, a fairground day, but it was never a strategy. it was just a sound bite. we have had exaggerated claims, complaints when challenged, lack of transparency with the public but now further action and a clear plan is needed.

and at the time in hospital admissions are rising again we have the prime minister, like the scene biden has made a corrupt bargain in withnail and the prime minister, like the scene in withnailand i, the prime minister, like the scene in withnail and i, hanging a the prime minister, like the scene in withnailand i, hanging a rise in berlin and does not know whether to exchange. he has handed control to let go before it is too late or hang the socialists, marxists and left on and keep letting it get higher. wing. in the hour—long speech, we have the highest deaths in his voice was hoarse europe, and now not even pretending at times but his performance was a crowd—pleaser. very happy trump‘s back and doing well again. trump is a good president. to follow the signs. we will not he knows what this country needs. divide the house against these this was classic donald trump — restrictions because we believe, as back in the environment he feels far as they go, they are necessary. most comfortable in, but i fear the government now need on stage, speaking directly to his faithful supporters. to go further. the sooner the prime minister is clear with the british public, the better. the question is — with just three weeks to go before election day, can he attract enough new voters to get back into the white house? i support these restrictions with a nomia iqbal, bbc news, orlando. heavy heart. we will leave the commons there. the new three tier system outlined in england. matt heavy fighting is taking place in hancock said he did not rule out southern afghanistan as government

further restrictions and you heard are trying to hold the capital jonathan ashworth for labour saying at what point did the government stop following the science? because against a mac to assault. it is the we have the details about meeting of most serious taliban assault sage, the government‘s advisory committee of scientists who, on 21st of september, did say there should bea of september, did say there should since... hour afghanistan be a national lockdown as a short circuit break in terms of lockdown corresponded speaking to a member of and the government did not go nearly the negotiating team. fleeing the as far as that. let‘s get some analysis from our political fighting. families caught in this correspondent at the houses of parliament who has been listening to conflict. dozens have been injured. that. that was kind of the key point at the end there. john ashworth violence in afghanistan has asking at what point did the continued despite the ongoing peace government stop following the science because all along, of talks. but this assault in this course, the politicians have said province is the most serious by the thatis course, the politicians have said that is what they have been following. that is right, then. and taliban since the fighting began a the argument from number ten and month ago. this man is a member of ministers is that they need to balance the advice they are getting from the scientist with some of the the government negotiation team.“ economic impact that tougher

restrictions would have. but clearly the government negotiation team.“ the violence goes higher and they are coming under a lot of continues for a long period of time, the level of pressure will increase pressure over this issue of why they did not go further when sage recommended it but the government is coming underfire and we will have to consult with our recommended it but the government is coming under fire from two sides, really, now. some tory backbenchers and local conservative politicians people. whether this fighting will who are furious. extra restrictions on hospitality are being brought in work or not. it is unacceptable for in their areas on hospitality are being brought in in theirareas and on hospitality are being brought in in their areas and the potential of a rebellion in the commons and the 10pm curfew, it will, almost these people to suffer as they have suffered. last night members of certainly, pass, but we could see some tories voting against that. at taliban held their first meeting in the same time the prime minister is ten days. it is understood that they speaking to backbenchers tonight and host a zoom chat for tory mps who are trying to resolve preliminary are worried about the government‘s issues. this is referring to whether strategy but then on the other hand, this should refer to the us taliban you had exactlyjohn ashworth, labour, shadow health secretary, was deal earlier this year. and secondly talking about there. this criticism that the government has not gone further. it is interesting that he said at the end he fears that is this procedure that is used to exactly what will have to happen. settle disputes. it is likely that a they support the tier system and

rising at a settlement will take a they support the restriction the government is bringing in but they long time. i asked if they hoped are worried they are not going far enough. we are going to hearfrom they had made more progress by now? the labour leader and he is hosting sign that the burden of this war is so heavy on our people. we wanted to his own version of the prime minister‘s press conference. it end it yesterday. therefore, the faster the progress is better for seems that labour increasingly feel that the government is not going far people. urgency is felt among our enough. those sage papers from three weeks ago talking about considerably tougher action show that might be necessary. thank you very much negotiation team and also the country. that urgency will make us indeed. at three 30p and we will be careful and not to rush things so that it will undermine sustainable a nswer indeed. at three 30p and we will answer those questions. the three tiers. we will be joined peace. the biggest concern is that answer those questions. the three tiers. we will bejoined by answer those questions. the three tiers. we will be joined by our health corresponded to michelle roberts here in the studio and us and international forces could be withdrawn next spring before an doctor chris smith, a virologist at cambridge university. send us your agreement is resolved. the results questions about three tiers. you can use the hashtag or e—mail your of the us elections could be key.

questions. president trump wants to withdraw troops as soon as possible. it is thought that joe troops as soon as possible. it is thought thatjoe biden would be willing to slow the process down. either way, there is likely to be more bloodshed in afghanistan. more protests in belarus despite a let‘s remind you know about the government warning that police can government knew tier system of use more brutalforce. they came alerts for england which comes into force as of tomorrow. most of england will be put on the medium with flowers. and with bibles. it is level where they rule of six and 10p on hospitality carefully will apply. now the turn of minsk‘s pensioners some areas will be put on the high to make their message is heard. level. that means no household hundreds marched with messages like mixing indoors but the rule of six applies outdoors. the most severe level is very high. that means no grandmothers, grandfathers, help our grandchildren have a future. this mixing of households anywhere. pubs was our response. now the president and bars will close unless they provide a substantial meal. we can has given police extra powers to use combat weapons or weapons at speak now to the operations manager

going to go elsewhere. they are going to go elsewhere. they are going to go elsewhere. they are going to have a house party. overlooked and people were partying in the arena here. people are going to go and do it so it is better to be in to go and do it so it is better to beina to go and do it so it is better to be in a venue where you can control that and we are covid secure so we are controlling what is going on within the venue. i think people are just going to go and do it anyway. one of the films making their debut at the festival you are saying some people don‘t today is ‘one man and his shoes‘ which looks at the phenomenon of wear masks and so on. on the whole, nike‘s airjordan trainers then, quite a few people not obeying and america‘s love affair with consumerism. then, quite a few people not obeying the restrictions as far as you can tell? and when it comes to 10pm just and i‘m delighted to say shutting down, what are people we can speak now to the saying then? what is their view? do somejust want saying then? what is their view? do some just want to stay? to be honest eve ryo ne we have thanks forjoining us. congratulations on having a film some just want to stay? to be honest everyone we have had in when it selected. that‘s fantastic news. it comes to 10pm they are really polite about it and they do understand that took you seven years to make. what triggered the idea?” we have got to 10pm curfew. we could took you seven years to make. what triggered the idea? i was thinking about feature length ideas that i do them service and take drinks to had an interest in. i have an rooms however we feel like we can

control the situation if it arose within a room, domestic violence are affinity for trainers. i have always anything like that. if we can‘t loved trainers. i thought that it monitor what their drinking and what the situation is there. but the felt like a natural fit, customers that we do get and we do loved trainers. i thought that it felt like a naturalfit, an idea that i thought of for a number of have, they have always followed it yea rs that i thought of for a number of years and thought i would try to for us in regards to 10pm so it has make. it's a film about fashion, quite positive. good to talk to you it‘s much more than that it, isn‘t and good luck. operations manager at it? the entry point was the legacy the castlefield hotel. thank you. thank you. essex county council of this trainer. but this trainer changed the landmark of everything writes to matt hancock requesting the local authority be moved from from athlete and endorsement deals to sneaker culture. i was interested the local authority be moved from the medium to the high tier of coronavirus restrictions. councillor david benge is conservative leader on the impact it had on other of essex council and joins us now. why would you like to be moved to a things. there is an extraordinary higher tier? we think that the scene where a teenager is killed for increase in the rate of infection in his trainers and then he is buried essexis increase in the rate of infection in essex is doubling almost every week and we think that if we can take in them. i think you are referring to the third act of the film. there

early steps to move to the higher has been violence that has accompanied these sneakers since the rating, that we will actually dampen the effect of the virus and the 80s. they mean so much to people. i spread of the virus and therefore we wa nted 80s. they mean so much to people. i wanted to explore that element of well actually, over time, we will be it. i wanted to tell a story that protecting jobs, protecting the economy and of course we will be didn‘t leave that out. i didn‘t want protecting the nhs as well. very to rewrite history, i wanted to show you the phenomenal. it‘s part of the clearly, the numbers that we have seen a couple of weeks ago, they are half of what they are today. last week we did not have any record of sneakers legacy. good luck with the deaths within essex. we now have 13 deaths within essex. we now have 13 deaths within essex. our ask us to move into the next phase, the next film. tier so that we can actually have a bigger impact on the virus spread now it‘s time for a and make sure that we can come out look at the weather. of this sooner rather than later and therefore that would be beneficial to everyone including the this weekend there will be rain hospitality industry. a short, sharp across parts of south—east scotland and the south of england and parts measure. we need members of the of wales. there may be a bit of rain

public to obey the guidance in terms in northern ireland. temperatures will generally be between five and of masks on the face, wash hands and eight celsius. there could be some spots that will get down to freezing maintain the two metre discipline as in scotland. there may be someone in well. clearly there needs to be a very large com is exercised southern and northern ireland. ourselves and that is rolling out as of now as an example but i will add tomorrow they could move into east wales and england. for most of us it to any other questions that you‘ve got. my other question is, is this will be fine. it will be a fairly an example of national government not knowing enough about what is windy day and some sunshine. temperatures are a little higher than they would stay but i think the going on in one particular area of the country? you are saying that you wind will take the edge of those values. it will often be cloudy and have got a closer focus on what is 01:18:37,876 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 going on, involving the danger is it will feel decidedly cool. this this is bbc news. the headlines. a further 143 deaths

within 28 days were recorded on tuesday. it is the highest daily figure in more than four months. ministers defend the new coronavirus restrictions in england as it emerges that their scientific advisers had called for a short circuit breaker lockdown weeks ago. the sage advice that ministers received is of course published and we have had great debates in this house about that and it is published and then we make decisions that are guided by the science taking into account all the different considerations that we need to look at. we will not divide the house against these restrictions because we believe as far
