this is bbc news. the headlines at eight p:m.. labour this is bbc news. the headlines at eight p: m.. labour leader care starmer accuses ministers of leading the country into a long, bleak winter. calls for short—circuit break of lockdown. the government has not been a credible plan to slow infections. it has lost control of the virus. and it is no longer following scientific advice. this pandemic remains a formidable threat, our strategy is to suppress the virus, supporting the economy, education and the nhs until a vaccine makes us safe. liverpool city region goes that did top tier of restrictions tomorrow as a further 143 coronavirus deaths were

recorded in the uk. british unemployment rate hits a three year height with hospitality venues hit hard, young workers facing a tough time. please see three young children and a 29—year—old woman from the same family have died in a car crash near oxford. and a £1 million facebook like for the bletchley park medal the and. the wartime code breaking centre that sought key advances in computing. good evening. today, labour has put clear between the government strategy of coronavirus restrictions in its own position at the labour leader accused the government of losing control of the pandemic.

follows confirmation that boris johnson rejected the advice of his own scientists who called for a near total shutdown to hold back a second wave. minutes from a meeting of sage, the scientific advisory group, should they wanted a so—called circuit breaker three weeks ago and warned of catastrophic consequences if no action were taken. tonight, he said he wanted a tour through rick national sat down now. here's households to coronavirus cases on the rise, hospitals under pressure, liverpool faces new restrictions from tomorrow... we've got the spirit of scousers! we're not going to take this! households won't allowed to mix, but shops, restaurants, schools, workplaces and some pubs will stay open. some don't think this‘ll be enough to get the virus under control. three weeks ago, the government's scientific advisers privately recommended what they called a " national circuit brea ker", a short period when all hospitality

and leisure venues would shut. ministers discussed the idea, but rejected it. for months, the labour leader has broadly supported the government's approach, but today that came to an end. sir keir starmer said it was time to act decisively, and he had a direct message for the prime minister. you know that the scientific evidence backs this approach. you know that the restrictions you introduced won't be enough. you know that a circuit break is needed now to get this virus under control. you can't keep delaying this and come back to the house of commons every few weeks with another plan that won't work. he says the test and trace system isn't working effectively and that's hampering the return to normality. you're now talking about a return to a blanket national approach. isn't this going to be a huge cost to the economy? and isn't it better to have a tailored approach for every single region? i think the damage to the economy will be caused by weeks and months

of the approach the government has set out. this will break the circuit, bring the r rate down. in wales, 17 areas are already under some extra local restrictions, but the first minister wants an emergency meeting to discuss going even further. i asked the prime minister for an extra special cobra meeting specifically to discuss the circuit breaker idea. some senior ministers did argue for this circuit breaker idea, a short, sharp lockdown over half term to try to stop the virus spreading, but they were overruled amid concerns about heaping even more damage on an economy already battered. ministers admit there are difficult months ahead and in the commons defended the approach they're taking. governments of all different stripe, political persuasion have all come to broadly the same conclusion, which is it is necessary to restrict socialising because that way

we reduce the transmission with the least damage to education and the economy. but many conservative mps disagree, pointing to the economic damage the restrictions are already causing. we have to get the country back to work! we simply cannot go on bailing out businesses! we are going bankrupt! there is no silver bullet, and without one, although difficult, we must learn to live with the virus. the continued peaks and troughs are unsustainable. the prime minister is being pulled in different directions, and there are serious repercussions to every decision he makes. vicki young, bbc news. as we have heard the government's on medical scientific advisers were ringing the alarm bells weeks ago. their clear ringing the alarm bells weeks ago. theirclearaim ringing the alarm bells weeks ago. their clear aim was to try and get the number below one, the point at which the coronavirus will eventually stop spreading. our medical editor takes a closer look

at what the scientists were wanting. the sage documents warned of catastrophic consequences unless rapid action was taken to bring the r number down. it's currently 1.2—1.5, which means every ten infected people are passing the virus to between 12 and 15 others. the strict measures we know will reduce the prevalence, and the danger of introducing measures that are not strict enough is they're still economically damaging and still damaging to personal freedoms, but the prevalence keeps rising. the scientific advisers wanted a two—week circuit breaker lockdown with an order for people to stay at home. they thought this would bring the r number below one, but would have a short—term impact, perhaps reversing the epidemic by 28 days. one recommendation that has been introduced is that anyone who can should work from home. the scientists think this could reduce r by up to 0.4,

and they believe the advice should remain in place indefinitely. sage also called for all university lectures and tuition to be moved online. they think that could reduce r by up to 0.5, but not if students remain in their term time accommodation. the scientists also wanted the closure of all pubs, restaurants, cafes, gyms, leisure centres and hairdressers. they say these would have a more modest impact on suppressing the epidemic. the sage committee warns that a circuit breaker would have negative impacts, especially on the poorest in society. ministers will also be assessing the detailed economic consequences. sage is advising them on the medical science, the epidemiology and the behavioural side of these things. they will also be taking into account economic questions, they'll be thinking about what the government

and the country can afford and they'll also be thinking about things from a political perspective. unless radical restrictions are imposed, sage warns there could be 3000 hospital admissions a day in the uk by the end of the month, the same as the peak in early april. their view is the action taken so far is simply not enough to rein in the virus. fergus walsh, bbc news. let's talk to helen, who joins us from westminster. the government had seen off the tory rebels who are opposed to these lockdown measures. with some quite dramatic language, relief from matt hancock today in the chamber about the consequences of believing in this sort of herd immunity, just too great to even contemplate. starts with a number of deaths being too much to bear in saying this was not a choice, that some of the arguments advanced in recent weeks being the idea that either you could just get to a level

of where there's enough immunity in the population that the virus fizzles out,, but matt hancock says there's some viruses and diseases that don't do that. the flu is an obvious example. he also said that his idea that you could just shield the elderly and that everyone else carry on as normal was not possible either because he said that once a gets into the general population it trickles into the older population as well. he was very vehemently against those. defending actions the government has taken so far which as we heard are less severe than the scientists had proposed. towards the end of last month. but he was defending those today. the government said that they were robust but targeted and proportionate, and he made that point is that for the government there's this challenge of trying to balance the health risk and how to stand the transmission of the virus against any more potential economic damage. does that mean that labour

will not support the government on any of this tiered strategy? leavers as it does support more restrictions but this is a very clear move from labour to put clear blue water between it and the government on what it would do. to come out and say we would have much more severe national lockdowns where you've got things like all pubs and bars and restau ra nts things like all pubs and bars and restaurants closed. and essential travel only, nonessential offices should close. that's a lot stronger than what we are seeing, being brought in these targeted tier restrictions and the interesting thing being that they were saying schools will remain open under their version of this circuit breaker. they are saying it's version of this circuit breaker. they are saying its key to have that short, sharp, shock to stop the virus spreading any further that will create the break in the cycle i think was how he put it. what's interesting is that labour has been challenged for quite a few months about what it would do differently in the and now we have a really

clear point of difference.” in the and now we have a really clear point of difference. i was intrigued by the release of the information just intrigued by the release of the informationjust an intrigued by the release of the information just an hour or so after the prime minister's press conference. normally they're released friday afternoon. perversely, this sort of help the prime minister superficially by saying this is so serious we might need to go further. and the government has said it will never rule out going further if needed to. it has put that on the table. that publication being released after the strategy came out yesterday. it provides a counter point of where you could be for those wondering what he has already announced its original lockdowns are perhaps pretty draconian. we see a lot of that this afternoon from the conservative back benches. some of those restrictions brought in already can some concern around them. actually having economic impact. but without having

necessarily the scientific evidence that it brings down the transmission rate enough. seeing that debate raged in the back benches but it gives you a whole range of where things could go. for now, thank you very much indeed. we can speak to andy carter, the conservative mp for warrington south which is in the tier two category. also joined warrington south which is in the tier two category. alsojoined us from westminster. you got a divided party on this one pulling in both directions. a divided country it seems now, that snapple supporting two to one a circuit breaker lockdown. as advocated by the liberal party. we have seen this evening is clear evidence of the labour party going in different directions themselves. they gotjohn as hworth directions themselves. they gotjohn ashworth at three o'clock this afternoon in the chamber of the house of commons saying that a national lockdown would be a disaster for society, and at six o'clock sir keir starmer peering at a press co nfe re nce o'clock sir keir starmer peering at

a press conference say the right thing to do is a circuit breaker. that's politics at a pure level. i think what we've actually seen today isa think what we've actually seen today is a very clear and concise message from the government that there are steps being taken to address the issues we are seeing particularly in the north of england in my constituency with a tiered approach, it's right that we address those issues locally. if we look at areas like the southwest of england, east anglia were transmission levels are very low, to put a circuit breaker into that area at the moment i think really would do significant damage... i suppose the point is that the government has not been able to persuade the theory is that they want to go into the lockdowns that they want to go into at the moment. it's not a consistent approach but it's not with the government would be advocating themselves at the moment below i spent the weekend talking to by local labour council were advocating very clearly they did not want to go with the tier three did not feel a circuit breaker was the right thing

to do. it's quite right that the government leave the circuit breaker on the table for the future, if we don't get these measures right and if we can't bring the virus under control. we just launched a very robust programme for tackling the virus through targeted intervention. tier three in particular bringing more support from a local perspective to really address the keyissues perspective to really address the key issues on the ground, and i think today what we've actually seen its confusion as a result of this announcement from labour... your constituency is tiered to come to businesses suffering really badly because of the restrictions will not get the financial support that they would in a tier three constituency. do you accept that by having that status, there will be a lot ofjob losses which perhaps would not have been the case in tier three?” losses which perhaps would not have been the case in tier three? i think there's a balance in all of this. i

don't want to see businesses close, i want to see businesses forced to close. without the unavoidable consequence of the pandemic, is it not? i would like to have them have the continued opportunity to trade. we are at a tipping point where we could well move into tier three in the not—too—distant future. reported that the local council or in a position to able to support businesses and support the test entry businesses and support the test e ntry syste m businesses and support the test entry system if we will connect direction. that's part of the process of moving into tier three. we have a real balance here of insuring the population public health is protected and that we also try and maintain the economic and education opportunities that we need to keep the country going. commit to the end of furlough, redundancy figures out today, i think the highest since records began. without more government helpjob highest since records began. without more government help job losses are unavoidable. the chancellor has been very clear that whilst the measures

put in place have been designed to try and support as many people as possible it's not possible to protect every single job, and where we are not able to protect the jobs we are not able to protect the jobs we do make sure the training opportunities are there and support is there to help people find new roles and to move into new opportunities. that's something that i really am pleased is coming together very well. spent time at thejob together very well. spent time at the job centre together very well. spent time at thejob centre in together very well. spent time at the job centre in warrington talking to the work coaches and talk it through with them how they are helping people to find new opportunities. i have to say while some parts of the economy really struggle as of the parts that are doing incredibly well. look at the supermarket sector and logistics firms based on my part of the world doing incredibly well. certain areas really finding it very difficult because of the restrictions there are other areas that are doing particularly well. i meeting today carried out by zoom as all of these meetings are now, how long is the government going to keep this 3—tiered strategy in place before

the numbers either prove or disprove it, and then they do move to a circuit breakdown because the obvious time to have that circuit break now would be coinciding with half term. i think the announcement was made yesterday, the... we've had loads of announcements of the past ten weeks. coming into force for tomorrow and what they have allowed us tomorrow and what they have allowed us to do is clarify across the country that the types of restrictions for each area, i live just a few hundred metres from the border of greater manchester in my constituency to a different regulations. if i cross the road. i get supportive that we have a much more clear system for defining which areas or in which restricted areas, andi areas or in which restricted areas, and i do think we've got a period of time now or you can what happens and the point was made to me earlier, they have not worked. the truth is we don't know whether the restrictions did eat out to help out

working your constituency? we don't know what would've happened if we put the measures in place previously. they will have seen even higher levels of transmission. i would also say to you eat out to help out happened right across the united kingdom, and we have not seen spikes in the southwest, in the southeast. think it's very difficult to be saying it's a result of eat out to help out. as a result of a flare—up in particular areas, and as we move into this time of the year where people are spending more time inside the virus is able to spread more quickly because it's a virus that thrives in a social setting where the flow of air is less prevalent. all right, andy carter, good to speak to you and thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. latest official figures show a rise in new infections. up up from just under 14,000 recorded yesterday. means the average number of new cases is 14,973. hospital

admissions of also increased on average 658 people admitted every day over the past week. this number does not include scotland. larger deaths reported. —— 143 deaths reported. 82 deaths were announced every day which takes the total number of deaths so far... the government's new tiered system of alert for england comes into force tomorrow, most of england will be put on the medium level where the rule of six and 10pm hospitality cu rfew rule of six and 10pm hospitality curfew will apply. some areas will be put on the high level which means that there will be no household mixing indoors the rule of six does apply outside. most severe level is

very high, means... liverpool city region is the only one on this tier so far. liverpool's tourism is still going for now, but the city region's facing up to the most extensive restrictions of people's everyday lives in england. so, how has the decision been reached, and why not manchester and some other urban centres as well? one of the key issues is how many people are picking up virus infections. if you look at the number of daily cases per 100,000 of population, here's what's been happening in liverpool since the middle of september, the seven—day rolling average. and here's what's been happening in manchester, slightly lower but rising sharply, and then with a bit of a downward trend over the last week. the age of those who get the virus is important, with older people more likely to become seriously ill.

liverpool's demographics don't help here. we're seeing widespread community transmission of the virus here in liverpool. the city council health spokesman explains the problem they were facing. liverpool's age profile of people infected is across the different age groups and it is moving up into the older population. manchester's is still very much in the younger population, so consequently we're seeing more sick people who need much more medical intervention here in liverpool. government officials have published this chart showing average covid—19 patient numbers in major hospital trusts in liverpool and manchester going back to the end of march. it shows just how rapidly those numbers have gone up in the last few weeks in liverpool. tighter restrictions are intended to protect the vulnerable and ease pressure on hospitals, but could they damage people's health in other ways, raising anxiety levels and leaving some feeling isolated? it's kind of that roller—coaster effect again.

shaun lost hisjob during the lockdown and found that time very stressful. easing of restrictions and a newjob has helped, but now he's worried again. i felt that anxiety coming back again, and it's almost like you go up the hill and you come down the hill and you go up and you come down and you're just thinking whatever's next? and this could go on for a very, very long time, and it's going to destroy a lot of people. it really is, especially in our area, in merseyside. these are difficult and complex judgements. decisions on restrictions are partly driven by what local communities will support. nobody can yet be sure of the right remedy. hugh pym, bbc news, liverpool. of course funny how the story and all the others are covered in tomorrow's front pages, that's around 1040 and 1130 this evening. joining me tonight and the former trade mr digbyjones and the broad

cast or henry. let's catch up with support. but if the link between news and support them up because portugal and juventus i said, cristiano ronaldo has fallen ill with coronavirus, says to beat doing well without symptoms and is in isolation. the remainder of the squad have tested negative for covid—19 and are available for selection. ears our sports correspondent andy swift. when aldo last played on sunday, pa rt when aldo last played on sunday, part of the portugal team that drew no nail with france in paris. bob is there where the world apartment famous for problems, medicine first and manchester united and then in madrid, he's been named the world player of the year some five times. but as i say it will be missing from portugal's team to barnett because he has tested positive for coronavirus. you will remember last

week we saw covid cases in scotland to camp, so it shows that renaldo certainly did the first footballer in recent weeks to have tested positive on the eve of scotland's game against israel last week three scotla nd game against israel last week three scotland players had to withdraw from the squad after they tested positive. israel also had a couple of positive cases in their camp, we see instances in rugby union as well. the sharks rugby team more than 20 players and staff in their camp testing positive. they had to forfeit theirfinal camp testing positive. they had to forfeit their final match of the season. so we are seeing cases more and more in sport, affecting matches and more in sport, affecting matches and effecting squads but fair to say that renaldo is one of the most famous footballers in the world is the most high—profile case that we've seen in the last few weeks in sport. aaron ramsey pulled out of the well squad because of an unspecified injury. the 29—year—old public absences another blow to the welsh with midfielder david brooks

also injured. while jay marella both suspended. the injury has left manager ryan gates admitting he faces a juggling act. ingle will be without ben chilwell for their nations league match against denmark tomorrow. and given a leave of absence to attend the personal hearing in relation to betting charges while chilwell has pulled out with injury. manchester city prospect lucio bronson is england's women squad for the first time in almost a year. nikita paris is also in the squad for from the against germany on the 27th of october. the ceo british gymnastics has said that she will stand down from her position in december. her decision as part of a retirement plan and not as part of a retirement plan and not asa as part of a retirement plan and not as a direct consequence of allegations of bullying within the sport. she does pick up our sports editor. i'm devastated about the fa ct editor. i'm devastated about the fact that our athletes have felt they had to come forward. you know,

i feel the athletes have been so brave in speaking out, but at the end of the day i got to look at one of the barriers that are in place that have stopped these athletes from coming forward to. and these are the things that need to be fleshed out by the white review and hopefully be able to make some changes to ensure that the athletes can speak out when these things happen to them. suffered say two of their players have tested positive for coronavirus just four days before the face the runners in the challenge cup final at wembley on saturday. two more tests were inconclusive so all four players and outs of isolating as a precaution. earlier today suffered loss by 24 points to 22 in whole kr in the super league. kicking the winning points. two teams offer withdraw from the race because of positive

tests. the writer, stephen tested positive and in todaystage three—time world champion peter on the 177, to run. on the adriatic coast. the overall lead was extended to 34 seconds. more support later in the evening but that's it for now. thank you very much indeed. one key element in the government's new 3—tier system for tackling the pandemic is that only those caught in the toughest restrictions will qualify for financial support for many businesses in the north of england and midlands are under the tier two measures, they argue that their income will still be effective but they don't qualify for help. on the edge of the peak district those

on the edge of the peak district, those living in the market town of glossop are just hours away from tighter restrictions. the mood here, like the weather, is darkening. if the restrictions don't reduce in the next few weeks, i'm going to have to let my staff go. tier two restrictions mean from midnight, there'll be a ban here on households mixing indoors. bar owner gaz says trade will plummet. although not legally required to close, so therefore not entitled to any of the financial support that's been made available. it's highly unlikely that people are going to socialise. people won't come out, so we would've been better in tier three. that's because businesses in tier three areas forced to shut by law get additional help with wages and grants. those in this middle zone don't. picking up the empty beer kegs is chris, owns a local brewery. there's less beer to sell, less beer getting drunk. we'lljust have to reduce our overheads, cut everything back and just try and survive. we'll do online sales, and that's pretty much all we can do. businesses in these tier two areas

fear they'll experience the worse of both worlds — tighter restrictions, fewer customers, but no extra funding. and local leaders across the north of england have written to the government asking for more financial help for pubs and restaurants in these so—called middle zones. this cafe only opened in march, and it's been a struggle to survive. it's going to have a massive impact on us financially. we're literally only a day from closing if we don't have the continued support of people coming through the door. you are that close to closing? yes, yeah. meeting up while they still can, the best friends lynn and lesley. i don't like it at all. very tempted to break the rules, but i haven't. it's all right saying two households shouldn't mix, but what am i supposed to do? the government says it supported the hospitality sector with cash grant, vat cutes and business rates holidays, but here in glossop,

limiting social contact will mean more economic pain. sarah corker, bbc news, in north derbyshire. the impact of the pandemic continues to hitjobs as figures for the uk unemployment rate has risen to its highest levels for more than three yea rs. highest levels for more than three years. the office for national statistics said the rate increased to four and statistics said the rate increased to fourand a statistics said the rate increased to four and a half percent between june and august with younger workers worst affected. here's our economics editor faisal islam. here in harrogate, the music has stopped playing. employers such as this nightclub operator who had held out over firing workers has now had to make the toughest of decisions. it was without question the hardest professional decision i've ever taken in nearly 40 years in this industry. the reason being, i've been through two or three previously where we had to make staff redundant. this time, we're in a position we're having to tell people they are going to lose

theirjobs because we weren't allowed by law to open. not because the businesses weren't viable, not because the customers didn't want the product, they were sacrificing themselves for the public health agenda. this is what is driving up rising joblessness. the unemployment rate at 4.5% is at a three year high, though still relatively low by international and historic standards. the number of redundancies was up over the same period by a record, as the furlough scheme began to be unwound. redundancies are at their highest level since the financial crisis. there were some silver linings — government support in august helps a surge in vacancies and workers on company payrolls stabilise lightly up, still over 600,000 down on march. slightly up, still over 600,000 down on march. joblessness has jumped and is set to surge further in the coming months. it is one side of a complicated and concerning balancing act between protecting lives, and livelihoods, and whatever happens with lockdowns, this tightrope is here to stay over the coming months,

and that means very tricky decisions onjobs for employers right now. the governor of the bank of england told mps some jobs won't return even after the pandemic. it increases the importance of the need to ensure that people can move jobs, retrain, get new skills, get skills to match the direction in which the change is happening. when the government say... back in harrogate, kim, a back office worker in the nightclub business, fears even the new two thirds wage support policy is not enough. i can't way a decreased amount of my bills, and how is my employer i can't pay a decreased amount of my bills, and how is my employer supposed to pay my n! and pension with no income? how has it affected things generally? i feel stressed all the time and it is awful. it is not good for my well—being. a three—way balancing act of lives, livelihoods and the limits

of government support is now going to be with us for some months. faisal islam, bbc news. soggy. soggy, miserable weather around. what's it like elsewhere? good evening. we had some wet and dry weather today. i think over the next few days the emphasis will be on dry weather, but still some showery rain to contend with her tonight, into the early hours of tomorrow. some rain the cross southern scotland, parts of wales as well. maybe a little bit of rain into northern ireland later in the night. temperatures generally 5—8 , a bit colder across the far north of scotland. sheltered spot could get down to freezing. maybe some of that rain and northern ireland, further showers through the day moving across eastern and central parts of england, perhaps getting into east wales. but for most of us, it's

largely fine. some sunshine, a fairly windy day and a fairly cool feeling. temperatures on the face a little higher than they were today, but i think the wind will take the edge off those values. it stayed largely dried, it will often be cloudy and it will feel the cool. hello, you're watching bbc news. it is 8:34 p:m.. the headlines... sir keir starmer accuses ministers of leading the country into a long, bleak winter and calls for a short circuit breaker lockdown. the government has not got a credible plan to slow infections. it has lost control of the virus, and it is no longer following scientific advice. this pandemic remains a formidable threat. our strategy is to suppress the virus, supporting the economy,

education and the nhs until a vaccine makes a safe. liverpool city region goes into the new top tier of restrictions tomorrow as the further 143 deaths are recorded in the uk. british unemployment rates hits a three year highs with hospitality venues hit hard, young workers facing a tough time. police say three young children in a 29—year—old woman from the same family died in a car crash in oxford. a1 million fete —— £1 million facebook like for the museum. people in england who were shielding during the height of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic are being told to take extra precautions as the number of cases rises. over 2 million people suffering from conditions like cancer, asthma and our start months shielding at home

earlier this year —— and arthritis. they now received a letter in the post advising them on how to keep safe. faith young has been isolating since march due to a health condition making her highly vulnerable —— faye young. shejoined from bristol, the lowest tier level of medium. you are diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis. it's been a long time since you stayed home. the advice now is slightly changing, house in it? are you clear what you could and should do?” house in it? are you clear what you could and should do? i am clear of what i should and shouldn't do, however, i'm on immunosuppressive treatment and my treatment is not going to plan. so, i'm very poorly at the time. so i have to take my own self and realise that i need to

stay in, protect myself, because i am so vulnerable. yeah, so, i am staying in. i'm following the guidelines. since march, have you just been out for walks with very close family? or most of the times but at home? yeah, i can count on my hand how many times i've been out. because of my condition, it's important that i keep moving, so i have been good on some walks when i can. what i still miss out on so much. i do really miss socialising with my friends. we all feel for you. it's such a long time. i ask about the advice because there is a difference this time around when the first lockdown came in, you were told to stay at home, but the advice

now seems to be to take precautions, to follow social distancing, but not necessarily to stay at home. if you need to go into the office for work. you're saying that wouldn't work for you because your risk is just so high. yes, i would not want to take any risks. does your employer understand that? yes, we are all advised to work from home, so i'm not do anything anywhere else. socially, i will be going down to the pub, even though we're at medium risk. if i was to ever contract any illness, any disease such as corona, it would mean i have to stop my treatment, which would be awful. just tell us how during the pandemic, your social life and what you can and cannot do has changed? because presumably, you would have

been susceptible and vulnerable to other infections before this dreadful disease even emerged. yeah, definitely. i mean, my online community has grown hugely, and without that, i generally don't know what i be doing because it's impacted my mental health. it's been a really horrible time for me. but reaching out to friends online has really been a feud of importance —— huge importance. do you know other people in a similar position? do they have the same understanding from their employers? are you saying you can all work from home, but it would be incredibly difficult if you can't and you are vulnerable. yes, i can't and you are vulnerable. yes, i can imagine the huge pressures on individuals if there workplaces aren't being supportive of their

needs. my heart really goes out to people in that situation. it's important to stay in very clear communication with your employer so they really understand what individuals are going through. faye, we wish you well. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. new rules are being introduced in an effort to curve the covid—19 infection in the netherlands. average infections daily have doubled in two weeks to more than 6000 there. the prime minister has just announced a partial lockdown that all bars, cafes and restaurants must close. is that a popular decision? it depends who you ask. it's really divided here, because the debate in parliament in the hague has been that how much people

should be expected to give up and how much the politicians are prepared to curtail civil rights, liberty in return for promoting the common good. as you said, these infection rates are surging. i'm in the main square in the hague, you can see people are making the most of these final few hours, 24 hours left before bars and restaurants must close. this man comes into effect at 10pm local time —— this ban. all the bars and restaurants across the netherlands will be closed. shop will be banned from selling alcohol after 8pm in the evening, takeaways are still allowed in this ban, lots of people will be curious. it also applies to coffee shops and cannabis cafes. speaking to restaurants with owners here in the hague, some of them have said

this is actually better because there's a greater chance that they will be entitled to and actually, when they were expected to close by ten p:m., people weren't really coming out anyway. so for many of them, this is a preferable option to having the kind of limited partial rules that have been in place until now. how is the test and tracing system working there? it's not. the coronavirus app went live at the weekend and 2 million people have downloaded it out of a population of 17 million. today, at this evening because my press conference the pressmen conference “— because my press conference the pressmen conference —— the prime minister said actually, the number of infections in the netherlands are now so high they're no longer able to conduct the contest tracing. cafes a nd restau ra nts to conduct the contest tracing. cafes and restaurants around here have registers at the doors, but
