good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today: a deepening row over whether to impose tighter restrictions on large parts of northern england as the mayor of greater manchester threatens legal action. a strict new curfew in paris. people won't be allowed to leave their home after 9pm in a bid to stem rising infection rates. marcus rashford welcomes moves by the welsh government to provide free meals for the poorest children in the school holidays, and calls for the same in england. government officials meet shop bosses and the police to work out how to encourage us all to wear face coverings inside. i'll explain the rules and get

an update on that meeting. defeat for england in the nations league. harry maguire sees red, as gareth southgate‘s side, are beaten by denmark at wembley. living on the edge. we're looking at the growing craze for cliff—side camping. good morning. once again today we have cloud, sunny spells and showers. those showers are mostly in the east, coming in on brisk and cool north—easterly wind. it's thursday the 15th october. our top story. more than four million people across northern england could be placed under tougher new restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus, as talks resume between ministers and local leaders today. greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham has argued against harsher measures, and threatened legal action if the alert level is raised. our political correspondent

nick eardley reports. how much longer will these pubs be open? there is real concern about the spread of coronavirus in manchester and today there will be further talks on whether it should be the highest tier of restrictions, pleasing pubs that don't serve meals and banning people who mixed with other household. more restrictions could be coming on blackpool pleasure beach. leaders in lancashire think they are also headed for the highest level of restrictions to but some, like the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham are worried. they say there is not enough evidence for more restrictions and that the economic support on offer does not go far enough. the leader of another council agrees. if government is mindful not to listen to local voices and take this into tier three then we have another battle which is to ensure that we in the north have the same conditions as we had in the

lockdown at the end of march and i realise there is not a bottomless pit of money but these businesses are on the brink of closure and they are on the brink of closure and they are desperate and we need to help them as much as we possibly can. the final decision over what happens here is one for politicians and the government wants the backing and help of local leaders. but other parts of england could follow with health officials wanting restrictions extended elsewhere as well. london is currently in the bottom tier but there could be a change coming here as well. one which could see households banned from meeting indoors. the mayor of london believes a move to tear two is increasingly likely in upcoming days. and an uncertain likelihood as the virus spreads again. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now from westminster. chris, what more can we expect this morning? there are many levels to this right now. there is an argument over local

restrictions and when and if they get a change and that could be at any time, we have been told that and then there is a wider debate about then there is a wider debate about the possibility of a national lockdown. good morning, charlie. the prime minister made it clear yesterday that he will rule nothing out as far as national restrictions for england are concerned to do at the moment the model very much is focused on a regional reaction to numbers. let me help you through what is going to happen this morning. at around ioas greater manchester mps have a telephone call with ministers and at 11 o'clock andy burnham will have a call with downing street and the expectation, it seems, is that manchester will tip into tier three, the top tier into the very high category as far as restrictions are concerned. there are similar meetings for lancashire's. there was a meeting last night and another one first thing this morning involving civil

serva nts thing this morning involving civil servants on both sides and the expectation is that lancashire could also follow suit. some more information this morning, a call at 9.30 this morning in which mps in london have been invited to dial in using microsoft teams for a briefing. the expectation is that london could be raised into tier two and in the north of england, other parts are being kept an eye on. south yorkshire and big chunks of the north—east of england. things do not seem as advanced yet as far as the political conversation is concerned with the direction of travel does look rather clear. a former government adviser on homelessness is warning that the country faces what she calls a "period of destitution" where families "can't put shoes on their children's feet". the treasury has promised to pay two—thirds of wages for workers if their employers are forced to close under tougher covid restrictions from november first. but speaking to the bbc, dame louise casey said that the reduced level of support

was "not going to cut it". the thing i'm really worried about is what is happening in families. it is what is happening in families. it is less visible but i am really concerned about this latest change now that has taken more income from these families and my own view and i use this word carefully, is that we are looking at a period of destitution and the government should consider how to deal with a rise in destitution, notjust two—thirds here or free school meals over summer, two—thirds here or free school meals over summer, but something much more coherent, about how you make sure you keep people not hungry and not stuck in homelessness. germany and france have announced new coronavirus control measures — in france, there will be a night—time curfew for paris and eight other cities. germany has recorded its highest number of infections since the start of the pandemic, and bars will now be forced to close early. there will also be limits on people meeting in areas with rising numbers of cases. simonjones reports.

two leaders with two announcements that will have one shared message. there are difficult times to come. in germany, there is a warning that the disease is growing exponentially. there will be new restrictions in areas with high transmission including a curfew for bars and limits on people meeting. translation: i'm convinced that what we do and what we don't do in the coming days and weeks will be decisive for the question of how we get through this pandemic, because we can see that the curves on the infection rates are pointing upwards, in parts, quite steeply. germany has recorded more than six and a half thousand cases, a record figure for a single day. translation: we are much closer to a second lockdown than people would like to believe. if we look at how the numbers are developing, then it's high time, maybe not even five to midnight but rather the stroke of midnight,

to set the right course. in france, a state of emergency has been declared. there's real concern that hospitals and intensive care units will become overwhelmed. to try to stop the spread of the virus, there will be no more late night dining in paris. people there and in eight other major cities will have to stay indoors from 9pm to 6am. the curfew will come into effect from saturday and last for at least four weeks. president macron appeared in front of the cameras with a sobering message accompanied by a rallying cry. translation: we have not lost control, we are in a situation which is worrying and which means we shouldn't remain inactive, but we shouldn't panic. we cannot get through this if everyone doesn't play their part, doesn't do their bit. an example of this in the czech republic, police raid a restaurant that was supposed to

be closed, finding the guests had moved to a cellar to carry on drinking and partying. in the netherlands, a last hurrah. bars, restaurants and cafes are closing temporarily. the warning there, like in many other european countries, is that if the coronavirus rates don't come down, more drastic measures may be needed. simon jones, bbc news. hundreds of under—65s died from heart problems like strokes and cardiac arrests as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, a leading charity has warned. according to the british heart foundation there have been more than 800 "excess" deaths from heart and circulatory problems among those aged under 65 since the start of march. it blames delays in asking for help and reduced access to routine tests and treatment. the nhs said it had continued to offer treatment for urgent and routine heart problems. covid—i9 has created a storm for heart and circulatory patients. we know that having hard and so

literary disease or its risk factors such as obesity heart disease and hypertension is a indicator. at this new data and analysis shows that passengers “— new data and analysis shows that passengers —— patients are dying in excess of the numbers expected. all eligible children in wales will get free school meals during the school holidays until next summer. the welsh government said it was spending an extra £11 million to reassure families at an uncertain time. the footballer marcus rashford, who successfully campaigned on the issue in england, welcomed the plan. he will also launch a petition today, calling on the government to expand the scheme in england. graham satchell has more. marcus rashford's fighter and child food poverty has just earned him an mbe but he is clear that his campaign will go on. now that i am in this position what i would like to do is speak directly to the prime

minister and really ask for the vouchers to be extended at least until half term october because i think that's what the families need stop injune, think that's what the families need stop in june, rashford think that's what the families need stop injune, rashford succeeded in changing government policy in england meaning that families whose children normally got free school meals were given food vouchers to cover the six weeks of holiday. another welsh government has become the first country in the uk to announce an extension to its scheme. eligible children will have food provided all school holidays up to and including easter 2021. it will cost £11 million and benefit around 85,000 children. it is welcome news that the welsh government has committed to support free school meals until the end of the march holidays. last easter it was valuable for families and provided valuable for families and provided valuable support to those who needed that support at a very difficult time. marcus rushford now wants the rest of the uk to follow wales.

today he launches a parliamentary petition calling for the food voucher scheme to be extended to cover a ll voucher scheme to be extended to cover all school holidays. the department of education in england would not comment on its future plans but said they had increased the safety net for families and already taken action to make sure that children do not go hungry. graham satchell, bbc news. christmas on the high street might not sparkle as much this year as a number of retailers have made the decision to ban glitter. shops, including waitrose and john lewis, have announced they won't be using it in own—brand products because the tiny pieces of plastic can wash into the environment, harm wildlife, and get into the food chain. it's part of a wider push by retailers to reduce festive plastics pollution. it can be done quite easily. without glitter. christmas? yes. any festive occasion. when did that last happen, that we agreed? carol, can you

remember when that last happen? my memory is not that good. what a lovely autumnal scene behind you there, carol. we have had some cracking pictures in lately and we a lwa ys cracking pictures in lately and we always do, to be fair. this tells the story for the next few days nicely because the outlook is one of sunny spells, areas of cloud floating around as well so bright weather and sunny and we are looking at scattered showers full under clear skies it is a chilly start across parts of the highlands with temperatures flitting around 0 degrees. same at glasgow airport, only one degree, but there is a lot of fun trying to start the day. cloud is already in eastern scotland drifting west through the day and we still have a brisk north—easterly wind coming in across the coastal counties adjacent to the north sea. here we are prone to showers, especially so across parts of east anglia and a line from kent down

towards the channel islands. through the day that cloud will drift further west, western isles hanging onto sunshine through the day. not bad in northern ireland either with staying mostly dry and the same for south—west scotland and england with a dry spot but then more power comes in bringing showers and especially so across kent heading down towards the channel islands. but without brisk north—easterly wind it will feel a little cooler down the north—east coastline. through the evening and overnight we hang onto some showers and more cloud rolls in from the east heading westwards. in the east itself we could see clear skies and here there is likely to be patchy mist and fog in places and those are the overnight temperatures. 3— seven or eight. under clear skies in rural areas it will be clearer than that. there will be clearer than that. there will be clearer than that. there will be a longer forecast further ahead in 30 minutes.

is it isita is it a lot longer, carol mahmoud abbas twice as long. in fact i might make it three times. steady on. steady on. it looks nice this morning. let's take a look at today's papers. clashes between government ministers and leaders in the north of england make the front page of today's guardian. discussions are being held about the possibility of further restrictions being imposed in manchester and lancashire. the times says that the capital is also on the brink of a local lockdown. the paper also claims borisjohnson is working on plans to adopt a version of a short circuit—brea ker lockdown timed to coincide with half—term in england. meanwhile, the telegraph reports that the chancellor has warned another national lockdown could cause "terrible harm". the paper says ministers are anticipating a two—week circuit—break to be announced on friday. and the scotsman reports on nicola sturgeon urging scots to think very carefully about travelling anywhere with a high infection rate. she's told celtic and rangers fans

not to travel to england to watch saturday's game. it is worth saying, an issue with the welsh first minister because of the welsh first minister because of the travel ban kicks in on friday but people coming in from england into wales, that starts tomorrow. what have you got? i introduce you toa what have you got? i introduce you to a phrase you may or may not know, and acoustic accelerometer.m to a phrase you may or may not know, and acoustic accelerometer. it makes the sound travel faster? all i know is there is a device and it is being used to break down the sound of lions roars in order the computer can work out which is which. in the

past, only the lions themselves could work out which is which but, with the use of the acoustic accelerometer, they can work out from the computer where the lion is according to the sound it makes because it breaks down the noise. where are they using it? it is as loud as 114 db which is a proximately the same noise level as a chainsaw. i completely believe it because i experienced it. i was lucky enough to go on safari earlier this year, before the travel restrictions and we went on a lion safari and lions were as close as you are to our vehicle and when it roared i felt it. did it sound louder than a chainsaw? the other

story i picked up, i thought you might be interested in. you have a dog, the personality of dogs and their owners involved in a similar way so i am keen how your personality is similar to your dog. what does it say in your survey? you work out what it is like with you and yourdog... it work out what it is like with you and your dog... it says it follows distinct trajectories. a dogs interest in solving problems appears to rise until they reach middle age. so let's use that. when you reached middle age, did your curiosity diminish? what are we calling middle age? beware what you next day. 40, 45. did your interest in solving

problems diminish? no, it increased. a dog survey saying that dogs don't recognise anyone's faces. do you remember that one? all of us are just a blow. they respond to noises. —— blur. have you heard the vienna test? this could be applied to dog owners. it measures friendliness with strangers, willingness to explore new environments, how easily you are distracted by novelty, problem—solving and how you react when frustrated. the way of

frustrating is to place food just beyond its reach. it is like parents and kids, they are shaped by each other. does your dog have a similar pay cut to you? no. sometimes they say that. you're going to talk about something entirely different. and something entirely different. and something we have talked about a lot and yesterday in an official way. has it become habitual to you? you pick up your keys, your purse. i have had a lot of running back to the house to get a mask. but how amazing how quickly they have become pa rt of amazing how quickly they have become part of everyday life. sincejuly, face coverings have been compulsory in inside spaces across the uk. but many shoppers are reportedly still not following the rules, causing confusion about whose job

it is to enforce them. there are exemptions of course. children under 11. people with physical or mental illnesses that mean they can't wear them safely. there's quite a long, list and the government says we should be considerate to people who are exempt. but the government is also concerned that lots of people who aren't exempt still aren't following the rules. government guidance says any place where face coverings are required should take "reasonable steps" to make sure people are abiding by the law. retailers say they are doing this. for example, when you've been out supermarket shopping you may have heard announcements reminding customers to wear a face covering. a couple of them have also employed marshals to stand on the door and remind people about the rules. but — crucially — they say it's not theirjob to enforce the law. that's where the police come in. trouble is officers clearly have a tough job on their hands monitoring all the shops up and down the country. the body that represents the police says it expects retailers to manage entry to their stores and to make sure the law is being followed while customers are inside. so there is a bit of a problem. usdaw — the union that represents shop workers —

says that doesn't mean its members should challenge customers. they're worried about customers getting angry and directing abuse towards shop workers. we have certainly had anecdotal evidence of that. it puts shop workers in a difficult position. but also shoppers who feel uncomfortable around people who aren't wearing a mask. i think it starts with yourself first, your own health and safety and, if there is a security guard or owner, they should have some form of responsibility. enforce it. i do owner, they should have some form of responsibility. enforce it. ido not know in simple terms. i spoke to somebody at our place and told them they could not be inside without a mask on. you cannot have police everywhere so you have a lot of police available at a train station asking people but at that shop there

should be one person at the door. difficult, isn't it? when the police are called in, there are fines of up to £200. but so far only 28 fines have been issued for face covering rule breaking in places like shops. that's across the whole of england and wales. the local authority or council also has some powers here. the government's recently given an extra £30 million for local marshals whose job it will be to persuade people to comply with the new rules. in extreme circumstances these marshals can either call on council enforcement officers or the police. so quite a complicated picture. that's why, on wednesday, the government called together representatives from retailers, the police and trading standards to discuss the issue. we'll speak to one of the retail organisations in that meeting a bit later to find out what the outcome was. one of the positive things to come out, a couple of times i have been on the metrolink, people have been

grabbing spare masks to help out people. as long as it is clean. you do see a lot discarded, dumped in the street. if someone has gone to the street. if someone has gone to the trouble of having one but then... it could be accidental. fireworks season officially starts today, with the shops now allowed to sell them for just a few weeks before bonfire night. with many organised events cancelled because of covid, there are fears a rise in the number of amateur displays at home could lead to a surge in serious accidents. john magure has more. maisie is a bright, confident eight—year—old but ask about watching fireworks display and this is what she says... i would sit on the back row just is what she says... i would sit on the back rowjust in case it did go wrong so i would go but i would make

sure it is safer. bonfire night 2016 and the family were enjoying their back garden display when one firework misfired and embedded itself in maisie's scar. it was pretty awful. it really hurt. i definitely nearly fainted. i was in shock. since maisie's accident, the fireworks are so much more spectacular and you could never do it in yourgarden. spectacular and you could never do it in your garden. the worry is that they will not happen so the temptation for people to go to the supermarket and pick up a box of fireworks and do it in the backyard is more than ever. that's the problem. with large—scale and organised displays cancelled,

fireworks go on sale officially but the fire service as it is very concerned. we are urging people to ta ke concerned. we are urging people to take care, thinking about planning ahead, only by fireworks from licensed and authorised dealers, and make sure you have the space and safety to do so. if in any doubt, please, wait until next year. it is a challenge between the covid precautions and the fireworks. firework industry is expecting a busy season but a reminder that the safety message is important. think about what you're doing, check it is safe and respect those around you. if you follow that little mantra, you can have a safe display. everyone should be happy. the number of serious incidents are connected

bya of serious incidents are connected by a database. the past six years in england and wales have seen more than a thousand severe accidents with 38% of those suffered by children aged under 15. maisie is one of those cases. the first matter just a year after the accident. today, she still makes regular hospital appointments to check skin graft and skin tissue. if they are aware of the risk, maybe they will think twice about doing it and maybe go next year to a really good display instead of having it in the garden. i don't think we should do that again. no, we will not do it again. she may not have a choice but otherfamilies do. john magure, bbc news. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. london's mayor has written to the prime minsiter, calling for a support package for the capital, saying it's increasingly likely we'll face tighter coronavirus restrictions, perhaps this week. sadiq khan says it's likely to be moved into the higher tier 2 category and wants clarity on what help there will be for businesses and vulnerable londoners. moving up a category would mean a ban on mixing with other households indoors, including in pubs and restaurants. a woman from london, whose baby was stillborn, says more needs to be done to prevent the loss of babies in the black community. according to a major report, black parents are twice as likely than white families to lose their baby to stillbirth. nhs england says all maternity services in london are actively working on improving services for women from black and minority ethnic groups. but genelle says more must be done.

nothing is going to bring my daughter back. seeing your midlife pride, you will move on with your life and forget my name but i will never forget it. so life and forget my name but i will neverforget it. so many life and forget my name but i will never forget it. so many mums will never forget it. so many mums will never forget it. so many mums will never forget what it means to their lives so it is not about let's it later, we need to fix this now. an act of kindness has broughtjoy to a london school coping with the covid pandemic. daubeney primary school in hackney says the hand washing and social distancing can make some children anxious. now its been visited by a group called the kindness offensive, which handed out tonnes of toys. let's take a look at the travel situation now... you can see the northbound traffic

increasing. an accident in dulwich. the south circular is partly blocked. a fairly pleasant day of weather for most of us. it should stay dry or mostly dry. sunshine to be enjoyed. temperatures in the mid to high single figures this morning. the sunshine best was western counties. further is, a cloudier picture and possible drizzle. showers could work their way through parts of kent and essex. blowing through on a brisk and noticeably chilly north—easterly breeze. temperatures below where they should be for the time of year. through this evening and overnight, areas of cloud. too much press and

cloud for frost but a cooler start to the day. again, plenty of cloud around throughout the day. the sunshine was best the further west you. over the weekend, sunshine was best the further west you. overthe weekend, high sunshine was best the further west you. over the weekend, high pressure dominates so it is still looking dry. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning, if you fancy getting away from it all — how about this? we'll find out how breakfast‘s tim muffett enjoyed this very socially—distanced camping trip. as marcus rashford welcomes wales' decision to provide more free school meals, we'll hear how the england striker is calling on the other parts of the uk to provide even more support for vulnerable children. and we'll be talking to two of the stars of "roadkill" —

the bbc‘s new political drama from the director of "line of duty". good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. more than four million people across northern england could be placed under tougher new restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus. greater manchester's mayor andy burnham, who has threatened legal action if the alert level is raised, will resume talks with ministers this morning. the new three—tier system sees every area of england classed as being on ‘medium', ‘high' or ‘very high' alert. the french president, emmanuel macron, has announced a night—time curfew which will be put in place for paris and eight other big cities in france. the new measures will start from this saturday, with the curfew lasting from 9pm to 6am for at least four weeks. it is expected to affect around 22 million people. a public health emergency has also been declared.

free school meals are being made available throughout the school holidays, to all eligible children in wales. the welsh government said it was spending an extra £11 million to reassure families at an uncertain time. england footballer marcus rashford, who successfully campaigned on the issue in england, welcomed the plan. he will also launch a petition today, calling on the government to expand access to free school meals in england. so as we've just heard, millions more people in the north of england could be moved into tier three — the highest level of coronavirus restrictions. let's get a medical view on this now from one of our breakfast gps, dr fari ahmad. she's in cheshire. good morning to you. what do you think about the tier system now? will it be? will it help people feel safer or, just practically, will bring the reproduction rate down?m

the present context it is good to have things simple so you can know which level you are at stop that is a benefit. the hardest thing to do is for people to understand why an area is level two when another is level one and having some of that information to hand will help people understand. part of the problem also is that there are some people who i just fed up with all restrictions and they are not particularly going to listen. but most people are trying to adhere to whatever their local guidelines are and are trying to make sure that that combination can be kept under control so you are not spreading the virus too much. in liverpool they are on the highest level and manchester it has been suggested for us as well and there is concern about whether it is the right thing for the area or not.

anecdotally you are talking to patients. how do they feel with the impending restrictions? that is how it feels anyway. we see them put into place across the uk. how do they feel about this and how do they interact with you? it does vary. there are some people who previously we re there are some people who previously were on the shielded list all were more vulnerable so they are becoming more vulnerable so they are becoming more cautious and we are starting to have people coming in for tests but they would rather not because the rates are going up. there is also some people who i think ijust frazzle with everything because, you know, appointments and procedures have been delayed or cancelled so we are feeling more of that frustration. mental health issues, we are struggling to get help and we see that because we are often the first point of contact. and i wonder

if you have seen the british heart foundation's comments concerning the rise in the number of under 65 is dying from heart problems a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic and it warns about these additional death within athletic what can you tell me about these observations? it is interesting to see because they are comparing the number of deaths over the pandemic era to last year and they see more death this year and they are trying to understand why it is a problem. one thing that has been suggested is that people were not seeking help early enough. at the beginning, certainly the tendency was that attendance is ers had dropped. the other side is that with lockdown i know that the amount of alcohol that some people are drinking is rising.

many patients have put on weight and these are other factors that contribute to the risk of heart disease. they have all had a role to play in what we are seeing. so with the prospect, we see cases rise, what other conversations you are having in terms of repairing patient who perhaps were drinking more and put on more weight during the first and tighter restrictions when they we re and tighter restrictions when they were imposed. what do you say to them now in preparation for what is potentially a second lockdown? firstly it is important that people are aware that this is where they are aware that this is where they are and what they need to look at. and there are some people who still need to be reminded about it which isa need to be reminded about it which is a harder conversation. and then have strategies. sometimes it is about making sure you get exercise and you are careful with what you

buy, what you bring into the house, sometimes people are bored and they find another way to deal with the stress. it is understanding yourself and the situation, trying to make sure that you make plans on how you will manage when a lockdown comes again. always good to talk to you. enjoy your day in the surgery today and thank you very much. time now for the sport with mike and there is drama from last night. we had it all. a mixed night for the home nations. drama in england with harry maguire having a season going from bad to worse. england manager gareth southgate says he has "total belief" in harry maguire, after the manchester united defender endured a wretched evening in england's1—0 defeat to denmark in the nations league. he was sent off after just half an hour. elsewhere, scotland and wales kept their good form, going, while northern ireland lost again to norway. ben croucher rounds up the action.

it is at time of year for autumnal colours. this is england in blue and harry mcguire receiving a yellow. this is harry mcguire receiving another one and that combination is not so pleasant for the centre—half stop the other, cole walker was still on the pitch. and this led to a penalty is that christian erickson duly an uphill climb from thereon in. mason failing to breach the danish wall and if you fought the final whistle would spare gareth southgate, top right, red card number two. the first time to english players have been sent off in the same game. modern history was made in glasgow full of the been 32 yea rs made in glasgow full of the been 32 years since scotland last went eight without defeat and it took six minutes for them to be on their way against the czech republic. limit bernie almost settled beyond doubt

is that they held on to achieve something no scottish team has for a generation. an early goal in glasgow, and farewells had to wait until the 85th minutes to beat bulgaria. the uk with a cross, johnny at the finish, everyone with a celebration as wales went top of their group. unusually in oslo for northern ireland, these are fans in a football stadium. they saw norway win. this is back—to—back defeats now and bottom of the nation league group for northern ireland, not a pleasa nt group for northern ireland, not a pleasant fall. project big picture is dead in the water, after premier league clubs voted unanimously to reject it. this was the plan to shake up domestic football, and give more money to the football league. but there were big concerns, it'd give too much control to the so—called big six teams. well there is another idea. premier league clubs have agreed to work on a strategic plan

for the financing of english football. they'll also offer a £50 million rescue package to leagues 1 and 2, to make sure clubs don't go out of business during the pandemic — that's on top, of more than £27 million already paid in solidarity payements. football league clubs will discuss the proposals today. problems for wasps, with just over a week to go until they play in the premiership rugby final. four players and three members of staff have tested positive for covid—19. they're all said to be in good health and are now self—isolating — the club have also cancelled training for the rest of the week. wasps face exeter in the final at twickenham a week on saturday. and hollie doyle has broken her own british record, for the number of winners ridden in a year by female jockeys. her 117th win of 2020 came on a filly, called state occasion, at the meet at kempton yesterday. she's currently fourth, in the jockeys' flat racing championship standings, and she's got a great incentive

to try and move further up those standings because she's one place behind her boyfriend tom markwand. . maybe they will stay apart until saturday which is the big combination of the season, champions day, and the one person has can defy —— and the one person who can deny tom a top three his girlfriend. can you imagine the conversation if, whatever the result is?|j you imagine the conversation if, whatever the result is? i think they will support each other until saturday. but after? you wouldn't talk about the racing, you talk about anything else. a mother of a young boy with down's syndrome has made a series of cue cards, like this which lets people know what language is appropriate to use in relation to the condition. it's after she experienced unintentionally hurtful comments about her son.

a hospital in cornwall has recently started using them. anna varle reports. can you say bubbles? when i had arthur, one year ago, can you say bubbles? when i had arthur, one yearago, i can you say bubbles? when i had arthur, one year ago, i did can you say bubbles? when i had arthur, one yearago, i did not can you say bubbles? when i had arthur, one year ago, i did not know he had down syndrome so when i was told it was a real shock to me and i realised that i had really outdated and negative visions around down syndrome. where is arthur? there he is! so! syndrome. where is arthur? there he is! so i thought, where do these views come from and then i realise they come from language. i heard it ona they come from language. i heard it on a daily basis and each time it really hurt. she developed a series of cards online during lockdown to change the language that people use to talk about down syndrome. rather than saying a down syndrome baby, after is a baby first, arthur, a baby who has down syndrome. this is

one of the most important to me. i hear it and it really hurts this one, this is with a typical baby sometimes someone will say well, with a normal child. he is normal. he is not typical. he is normal. in weeks they have been shed worldwide. charities are making a part of their national campaign and her local hospital issuing the cards on every screen in every department 24 hours a day. evan when we really try to get it right, sometimes we can get it wrong. so this kind of initiative helps us hugely, both our staff and anyone coming into the hospital can have an opportunity to read and see it and there is an opportunity to understand what it is like, the emotional impact that the language we use has. angie is helping better share the cards far and wide. she

trains midwives, gps and consultants all over the country in how to speak to parents who have a child with down syndrome. we have come a long way in this country and across the world in how we talk about down syndrome and refer to people and treat people with down syndrome but there is a lot more work to be done. so the backers cards have come at a good time where she has simplified things right down to some simple and accessible messages. she is now aiming to get these cards in every hospital and school in the country to ta ke hospital and school in the country to take altogether let make an inclusive world so i don't have to hear these things, so arthur does not have to hear them growing up and they are such a tiny shift in language and they mean so much, not just to me but one in 1000 babies has down syndrome so that is hundreds of thousands of people. these cards will make a difference for them. it is worth saying, later we will be

speaking to a mother and son who have been using that cloud system. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. she will give us a really, really long weather and you will take all of charlie's time. you know what, i will take it right to the end of the programme. works for us. thank you, you would get a nasty shock if i did. the weatherfor you would get a nasty shock if i did. the weather for the you would get a nasty shock if i did. the weatherfor the next you would get a nasty shock if i did. the weather for the next few daysis did. the weather for the next few days is fairly similar. sunshine with scattered showers and also some drizzle. high pressure to the north and low pressure across the continent and a north—easterly wind. it is bringing with it a bit more cloud. the cloud across eastern

scotla nd cloud. the cloud across eastern scotland producing drizzle. across england some showers here and there. through east anglia and kent. it could prove to be sharp through the day. further west, dry, could prove to be sharp through the day. furtherwest, dry, brighter with some sunshine. wales, northern ireland and western scotland also. as we head on through the evening and overnight, once again we will see a and overnight, once again we will seeafair and overnight, once again we will see a fair bit of cloud around. some showers. wind starting to ease a touch coming from the north sea. we could see some patchy mist and fog. for tomorrow, more of the same. we're still looking at the coming in from the north sea and also cloud thick enough for some drizzle.

potentially a dryer day than today but we are really looking at nuances here. parts of northern england and south wales, cumbria, south—west scotla nd south wales, cumbria, south—west scotland as well, seeing some sunshine. showers across northern ireland. but the winds are lighter. this weekend, still cloudy, sunny skies, a few showers as well. saturday, a bit of a change in the direction of the wind, coming from a northerly direction so we will see some showers peppered across some of the coastlines exposed to the northerly wind. sunday, areas of cloud, some sunshine. for sunday we

still have the northerly breeze. a fair bit of cloud with sunshine but later we could see some rain in the south—west. i did not pinch your time at all. two minutes 45 seconds. and that is what i was meant to have. all right then, well done you. she has done it again! we'll find out later today if any more countries will be added to the uk's quarantine list, but people travelling from at—risk countries might be able to avoid quarantine altogether, under plans being considered by the government. let's get more detail on this now from the independent‘s travel editor, simon calder. a very good morning to you. can you explain what these new proposals are? anybody arriving at gatwick airport, from places like spain, france, turkey, are going to be told, you have to go straight home and self isolate full two weeks. a

lot of people say that basically amounts to a travel ban. the travel industry was told the government was looking at alternative plans that might involve getting rid of quarantine completely. the first plan, called test and release, involves spending a weekend self isolation, paying for a covid—19 test and if that is negative you are allowed to go. but for some people one week or two weeks is still too long. there will be a global task force looking at the possibility that, let's say i was going to go to new york, a business traveller, you would not want to spend two weeks paying £200 a night in new york but you might want to work from home for a couple of days, have a test, and

then regarded as perfectly safe when you get that. the travel industry absolutely desperate for some sort of alternative to what they say is com pletely of alternative to what they say is completely destroying travel confidence and we will find out more countries will be joining the no—go list. a test before you travel, fundamentally? lots of different models right around the world and an awful lot of countries, including cyprus and barbados, require people travelling from the uk to have a covid—19 test two or three days before they travel and to produce a certificate saying that they have tested negative. of course, that is not 100% reliable. it is you think that and also using quarantine in the country before you leave so you

are regarded as a safe bet when you get to your destination. we're still waiting for a lot more on this but it has cheered up the travel industry a bit. it is desperate, we're going into this period. if there are new quarantine countries, if there are any, and people wanting to make plans for christmas and new year. you are always wary of flaking up year. you are always wary of flaking up possible countries that might be on the list and we say that with caution. what areas are we looking at of most concern? the uk, clearly infection rates have increased dramatically over the past few weeks and that has been the case across europe. the government set a threshold of 20 new cases per 100,000 people in the course of a

week. the uk is about eight times that limit. the countries that look particularly at risk, i'm afraid to say, are italy and sweden. please don't make any changes, there is normally a bit of wanting time to get back about 4am by saturday if they are on the list. the government says it is notjust the case rate but the number of tests conducted and the number which are positive and the number which are positive and a whole range of other issues. there's surprises but meanwhile growing concern about africa. the entire continent of africa is regarded as unsafe, from a covid—19 interview, but there's a lot of people in africa in the travel industry say, have a look at countries like rwanda, egypt, south africa, why don't we consider

allowing people from those countries which, if they can demonstrate they have good low rates of infection, why can't they come in without quarantine and also we travelled to those destinations. it is a real muddled but we might find out more at five o'clock tonight. if travel restrictions and summer staycations on the beach left you looking for a more imaginative way to spend you holidays, then we might have just the thing. cliffside camping requires a head for heights and nerves of steel, but the views are second—to—none. brea kfast‘s tim muffett has been to try it out. at least you do not have to pitch a tent. this is it. eddie young is a finding that a lot of people want to try cliffside camping. the idea is you come to the cliff edge, make sure you have some safety equipment

and you abseil, have a relaxing evening and then we leave it to have a good nights sleep. because people have been cooped up for a long time, i think theyjust have been cooped up for a long time, i think they just want to escape. the tourism industry has been transformed by the pandemic stop during the summer beaches were packed but foreign travel is no longer an option. many went on day trips so hotels and bed and brea kfast trips so hotels and bed and breakfast did not necessarily see the benefits. the latest forecast for britain is 48 49% decline in domestic tourism spending this year. that is £845 billion loss to the economy. at the moment. frequently a lot of people and outdoor centres have diversified to offer campaign. -- £45 have diversified to offer campaign. —— £45 billion. have diversified to offer campaign. -- £45 billion. i have done a few camping trips but nothing quite like

this. unless you are a climber, you do not get this experience. this is where i'm supposed to sleep. how do igoto where i'm supposed to sleep. how do i go to the loo? can you see the tube? if you do need to go, then you have to be very balanced and delicate and amen into a plastic bag and then put the plastic bag in the sealed unit. we do not want to have an effect on the environment.” might wait till the cameras stop. an effect on the environment.” might wait till the cameras stopm you also wait for me to make my escape as well. offering something different can help and when it comes to camping, this is different. right then, time to get into my sleeping bag. the most socially distanced camping experience you could wish for. tim muffett, bbc news.

would you? would you ? i would you? i can see the attraction. the sound of the waves underneath. it isa the sound of the waves underneath. it is a good way of going on holidays and putting people you do not want to go away with off. says a lot, doesn't it? good morning from bbc london. i'm sonja jessup. london's mayor has written to the prime minister, calling for a support package for the capital, saying it's increasingly likely we'll face tighter coronavirus restrictions, perhaps this week. sadiq khan says we're likely to be moved into the higher tier 2 category and wants clarity on what help there will be for businesses and vulnerable londoners. moving up a category would mean a ban on mixing with other households indoors— including in pubs and restaurants. a father from stevenage says there is not enough support for dads like him— who lose their baby.

donald butcher and his wife, lost their baby 18 weeks into pregnancy. one infour one in four pregnancies and stillbirths. who do are expected? has provided a space for me to talk about this? i have had all sorts of comments about telling me to man up and be strong. i wanted to take my own life. i was ready to go and had everything ready. i just own life. i was ready to go and had everything ready. ijust wanted to be with my daughter. now for many children who've experienced months of lockdown and then a rather strange return to school, it's been an anxious time. staff at daubeney primary in hackney said some children had been worried by hand washing and social distancing, but they've been cheered up with a visit from a group called the kindness offensive, who handed out tonnes of toys. let's take a look at the travel situation now...

no service between hackney downs and chill third because of a broken down train. south-western railway on delay with technical problems. the northbound traffic welling up from blackwell lane and an accident in dulwich. the south circular partly blocked near dulwich station. hello, good morning. a fairly pleasant day of weather for most of us today. it should stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some decent spells of sunshine to enjoy these autumn colours in. of sunshine to enjoy those autumn colours in. now, we're starting off with temperatures in mid to high single figures this morning. the sunshine today always best towards western home counties. further east, it's a cloudier picture and there could be a few spots of drizzle here. watch out for one or two showers

that may work their way into parts of kent and essex, in particular. just blowing through on a fairly brisk and noticeably chilly north—easterly wind. and temperatures are below where they should be at this time of year again, peaking between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, through this evening and overnight, there'll be some areas of cloud. a bit too much of a breeze, too much cloud, really, for any frost to form, but it is a cooler start to the day tomorrow. so quite a chilly start to friday. again, there'll be plenty of cloud around throughout the day. the sunshine always best the further west you are, and temperatures still below the average slightly, for the time of year. over the weekend, high pressure dominates so it is still looking dry. i'll be back in around half an hour — there's plenty more on our facebook and instagram. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a deepening row over whether to impose tighter restrictions on large parts

of northern england as the mayor of greater manchester threatens legal action. a strict new curfew in paris. people won't be allowed to leave their homes after 9pm in a bid to stem rising infection rates. marcus rashford welcomes moves by the welsh government to provide free meals for the poorest children during the school holidays, and calls for the same in england. harry has a horror show at wembley. maguire sees red, as gareth southgate's side, are beaten by denmark in the nation's league. living on the edge. we're looking at the growing craze for cliff—side camping. once again today we are looking at areas of cloud and sunny spells and showers with a cool and brisk wind. all the details in ten minutes. it's thursday the 15th october. our top story. more than four million people across northern england could be placed under tougher new restrictions aimed at slowing

the spread of coronavirus, as talks resume between ministers and local leaders today. greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham has argued against harsher measures, and threatened legal action if the alert level is raised. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. how much longer will these pubs be open? there is real concern about the spread of coronavirus in manchester and today there will be further talks on whether it should be the highest tier of restrictions, pleasing pubs that don't serve meals and banning people who mixed with other households. more restrictions could be coming on blackpool pleasure beach. leaders in lancashire think they are also headed for the highest level of restrictions. but some, like the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham are worried. they say there is not enough evidence for more restrictions and that the economic support on offer does not go far enough. the leader of bolton council agrees. if government is mindful

not to listen to local voices and take this into tier three then we have another battle which is to ensure that we in the north have the same conditions as we had in the lockdown at the end of march. and i realise there is not a bottomless pit of money but these businesses are on the brink of closure and they are desperate and we need to help them as much as we possibly can. the final decision over what happens here is one for politicians and the government wants the backing and help of local leaders. but other parts of england could follow with health officials wanting restrictions extended elsewhere as well. london is currently in the bottom tier but there could be a change coming here as well. one which could see households banned from meeting indoors. the mayor of london believes a move to tier two is increasingly likely in upcoming days. i would support that. definitely. i

have to be careful myself because i am 80 years old. if they now put a serious lockdown in place and the rates decrease, that's what they should have done in the first place. there should be a good balance between health and economy. an uncertain time for millions of people as the virus spreads again. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now from westminster. i weep going to get a day of announcements today? i think we will get some announcements, yes, and then perhaps some to come in the coming days. let me talk you through the choreography of this morning. at 930 mp5 the choreography of this morning. at 930 mps willjoin a video call with the government and the expect patient is that it looks like london will tilt into tier two, that middle category so restrictions for people

in the capital but at 1045 this morning, greater manchester mps have a similar call followed by andy burnham, the labour mayor who himself will have a call with downing street. the expectation is that manchester will tilt into tier three. similar calls between lancashire and the government, between civil servants at either end first thing this morning and then perhaps between political late does later. lancashire two is expected to top —— tilt into tier three. also watching the north—east of england, big chunks of it and south yorkshire. it does not look like the political conversations between those regions and the government are as advanced as they are elsewhere with london or the north—west of england so perhaps the decision is not happening for them yet that there is an expectation in both areas of there being a good chance that restrictions could tighten there as well. and you will be busy following those announcements. thank you very much.

germany and france have announced new coronavirus control measures — in france, there will be a night—time curfew for paris and eight other cities. germany has recorded its highest number of infections since the start of the pandemic, and bars will now be forced to close early. there will also be limits on people meeting in areas with rising numbers of cases. simonjones reports. two leaders with two announcements, but one shared message. there are difficult times to come. in germany, there is a warning that the disease is growing exponentially. there will be new restrictions in areas with high transmission including a curfew for bars and limits on people meeting. translation: i'm convinced that what we do and what we don't do in the coming days and weeks will be decisive for the question of how we get through this pandemic, because we can see that the curves on the infection rates are pointing upwards, in parts, quite steeply. germany has recorded more than six and a half thousand cases, a record figure for a single day. translation: we are much closer

to a second lockdown than people would like to believe. if we look at how the numbers are developing, then it's high time, maybe not even five to midnight but rather the stroke of midnight, to set the right course. in france, a state of emergency has been declared. there's real concern that hospitals and intensive care units will become overwhelmed. to try to stop the spread of the virus, there will be no more late night dining in paris. people there and in eight other major cities will have to stay indoors from 9pm to 6am. the curfew will come into effect from saturday and last for at least four weeks. president macron appeared in front of the cameras with a sobering message accompanied by a rallying cry. translation: we have not lost control, we are in a situation which is worrying and which means we shouldn't remain inactive, but we

shouldn't panic. we cannot get through this if everyone doesn't play their part, doesn't do their bit. an example of this in the czech republic, police raid a restaurant that was supposed to be closed, finding the guests had moved to a cellar to carry on drinking and partying. and in the netherlands, a last hurrah. bars, restaurants and cafes are closing. the warning there, like in many other european countries, is that if the coronavirus rates don't come down, more drastic measures may be needed. simon jones, bbc news. hundreds of under—65s died from heart problems like strokes and cardiac arrests as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, a leading charity has warned. according to the british heart foundation there have been more than 800 "excess" deaths from heart and circulatory problems among those aged under 65 since the start of march. it blames delays in asking for help

and reduced access to routine tests and treatment. the nhs said it had continued to offer treatment for urgent and routine heart problems. covid—19 has created a storm for heart and circulatory patients. we know that having heart and circulatory disease or its risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension is a risk for the more severe covid—19 and death. but this new data and analysis shows that patients are dying in excess of the numbers expected. all eligible children in wales will get free school meals during the school holidays until next summer. the welsh government said it was spending an extra £11 million to reassure families at an uncertain time. the footballer marcus rashford, who successfully campaigned on the issue in england, welcomed the plan. he will also launch a petition today, calling on the government to expand the scheme in england. graham satchell has more. marcus rashford's fight to end child food poverty has just earned him

an mbe but he is clear that his campaign will go on. now that i am in this position what i would like to do is speak directly to the prime minister and really ask for the vouchers to be extended at least until half term october because i think that's what the families need. injune, rashford succeeded in changing government policy in england meaning that families whose children normally got free school meals were given food vouchers to cover the six weeks of holiday. and now the welsh government has become the first country in the uk to announce an extension to its scheme. eligible children will have food provided all school holidays up to and including easter 2021. it will cost £11 million and benefit around 85,000 children. it is welcome news that the welsh government has committed to support free school meals until the end of the march holidays.

last easter it was valuable for families and provided valuable support to those who needed that support at a very difficult time. marcus rashford now wants the rest of the uk to follow wales. today he launches a parliamentary petition calling for the food voucher scheme to be extended to cover all school holidays. the department of education in england would not comment on its future plans but said they had increased the safety net for families and already taken action to make sure that children do not go hungry. graham satchell, bbc news. let's have a quick look now at the weather with carol. good morning to you both. what a wonderful picture this morning, taken by graham. you can see the sun rising. some clear skies as well and as we go through the rest of the week we look at sunny spells, areas of cloud and scattered showers but not all of us will see

those showers. high—pressure to the north of the uk and the air around it is moving clockwise meaning that once again we will have a long north sea coastlines are brisk north—easterly wind, particularly further south you travel. that will bring in more cloud and showers and especially through east anglia and kent and heading down towards the channel islands. but you could pick up channel islands. but you could pick up one or two further north as well. after a bright start across much of scotland, that cloud will travel west at the westin iron —— isles and parts of northern england was in the south—west will see sunshine. as we head through the evening and overnight once again we see more cloud role in from the east and travel westwards. still some showers around as well but in the west there will be some clear skies and hear the temperatures will be lower, especially in rural areas. and you can also see patching mist and fog for tomorrow, more of the same. once again we are chasing amounts of

cloud around and that cloud will break, we will see sunny spells tomorrow, the best of which across southern england, parts of wales, northern england, south—west scotla nd northern england, south—west scotland and northern ireland. even so if you showers here and there full temperatures range from nine on the north to 30 in the south. it is quite nice. it does not feel too wintry. and there are gorgeous autumn colours out on the trees. yes. and they will continue to change over the next few days. next week does look unsettled. maybe then i will tune out for the longer forecast. i thought you did anyway. yes. carol, we will see you later. let's return to our top story now and up to four million people across northern england could be set to face new, tougher restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus. it comes ahead of a meeting later this morning which is expected to determine if and when those living across greater manchester and lancashire could be placed into tier three —

the highest level of coronavirus restrictions. elsewhere, from tomorrow evening people living in areas of the uk with high rates of covid—19 will be banned from travelling into wales, under plans announced by the country's first minister mark drakeford. from monday schools will close across northern ireland, and from tomorrow, pubs and restaurants there will be limited to takeaway and delivery services only for at least four weeks. our ireland correspondent chris page is in county antrim for us this morning. good morning. yes. i am here at an upmarket spa resort in county antrim where people are grappling with what the next few weeks are going to mean. over the last 24 hours i have spoken to many people in hospitality andi spoken to many people in hospitality and i have heard much anxiety and people feeling uncertain about what is coming. also they are determined

to get through this rough patch. let's have a word now with colin johnson who is the managing director. colin, what do you make of what is happening? how do the new restrictions affect you here? we will be closed from friday at six o'clock. it came as a bit of a shock. we felt there was more confidence in the marketplace and we felt we went over and above the government guidelines and we feel today very little clarity exactly why these new restrictions were put in place and ideally i would like to see some of the evidence. you employ over 700 people, you are one of the biggest employers, things have been going well following the major lockdown? of the 750 employees is

only 40 still in furlough. surely but slowly things in the market came back up. we invested heavily on decontamination equipment. from a team and customer point of view, we wanted to create a safe environment for everyone. ministers meeting today, what would be the best thing they could do for you? look after they could do for you? look after the people. with uncertainty around the people. with uncertainty around the end of the old fellow scheme and the end of the old fellow scheme and the new one, how do we look after people. people are valuable and they

still be valuable when we reopen. furloughed —— scheme. we need to introduce measures to make sure we do not go through this again. thank you for talking to us. the other major decision which the devolved government have made, so many families across northern ireland, todayis families across northern ireland, today is the penultimate day of school before an extended school break, they will have two weeks from monday. the hospitality sector is also facing tougher restrictions in liverpool, the city's mayorjoe anderson joins us now. thank you for your time. what is the situation now in the city of liverpool? we have been placed in tier three since yesterday. gymnasiums, hospitality, casinos, they have been hit really hard and it has been a tough month.

potentially many businesses forced to close and many will not reopen, thatis to close and many will not reopen, that is how precarious the situation is for businesses in liverpool but also the wider region. we are really anxious about that and of course we wa nt anxious about that and of course we want the infection rate to stop climbing. it is spreading by around 630 cases last week. it is a really worrying and anxious time. how many businesses have said to do, because we are closing now, we are not meant to reopen? that's it. we are done. i have had three on the weekend talking about the situation they are

in. the perilous situation. we try desperately, myself and the city leaders, to support the furloughed scheme, to help them stay open. to help fund them. many businesses saying they simply cannot cope. people in the hospitality sorry to interrupt. obviously concerned about businesses where you. the mayor of manchester is fighting against being placed into tier three because of financial help for businesses is not enough. when it came to your conversations with government ministers, with authorities, how was that concern received? week spoke to them last friday — sunday. hours of

conversations to place. with government, ministers, officials. and that was top priority to secure extra to support businesses. we were categorically told that the furloughed was not going to change and it was going to stay as it was and it was going to stay as it was and we were also told what businesses would be affected and what the government would close down and we were categorically told we will be placed in tier three because of the number of covid infections. but then you would have said, we are going to lose businesses? absolutely andi going to lose businesses? absolutely and i was told, because i directly mentioned that point, the chancellor, the prime minister had

made their decision and that mind up that the furlough scheme for unemployed people and businesses is going to stay the same so no matter what you say, basically forget about it because you are not moving us. i think in the comments, the prime minister and chancellor, have said exactly the same thing so basically they are saying businesses will have to continue to suffer and struggle and the hospitality sector will continue to get on with it and have their pay reduced by almost a third but they will still have to find the rental, the bills that they need to survive and it is not acceptable. we we re survive and it is not acceptable. we were forced into this position and i do not blame any of the city or

local authorities but the fact is the government will decide who will go into tier three. i will expect to hear more about other places being placed in the f3. we have situation with the virus is out of control as something has to be done. —— tier three. when you say it is out of control, these measures are in place, what will be the consequences? is this what is needed to bring it under control? what would be acceptable? it has always been a balance. many people, especially in the media, trying to push the government to have a solution but we have a battle between the health and well—being of people and also the economic well—being of people. it is a tough battle, a tough line to walk and we are always going to have peaks and

troughs. the reality is, is going to the exchequer more to pay people a furlough scheme. listening to economic advisers telling us in the country is in a mess and we will be in an even bigger mess when we will have to pay unemployment rates and benefits and universal credit. the government has to accept that has to be economic intervention to support businesses and people to keep them open. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. callum semple is a professor of outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool and a member of the government's scientific advisory group for emergencies, sage. he joins us now from liverpool. can you put it into context, a lot of people very worried in liverpool.

can you put it into some kind of context, about the scale of the task and the problem they face right now? more than 90% of our intensive care capacity is occupied by covid cases which leaves very little room for car crash people, and other people that need intensive care beds for recovery. 320 cases in hospital wards whereas we had 390 at the peak of the first wave. we're not even into winter yet and we're highly, highly stressed, the system is stressed by so many cases. there is also a high level of stuff absent through burnout but also sickness. it is because for concern and these cases are from infections that

occurred ten days ago. the current infection and we know it is exponential growth, so we are predicting quite a dark situation in a week or so and that is why we have been making these very public announcements. given the picture you paint, you call it a dire situation, how soon do we need to see — i know now would be the obvious answer — how soon the rates be seen to come down to know tier three restrictions is making a difference? the virus ta kes is making a difference? the virus takes 5—10 days, the incubation period before you get sick. so you can see that any action done to date will not have any effect for ten days so we would hope to see a levelling off of cases in two weeks

and that is the problem we are facing is that there is little capacity in the system and we know it is only going to get worse for one or two weeks and then we would like to set the numbers drop off. and if not? there will be further hospital admissions and deaths. it is not just hospital admissions and deaths. it is notjust the covid disease in the hospital. when you start to get levels of infections like this in the community, it starts to affect other services. so many teachers will be off sick with covid that the school will find it difficult to deliver education and eventually it will spread to fire brigades, telecommunications, delivering bread and potential because many of these systems a re and potential because many of these systems are running at the limit with reduced staff. this is notjust about protecting the nhs but about protecting other aspects of how we

run our communities in liverpool. there is a discussion going on about other places in the uk, about whether they should be in tier three, for example manchester. looking at it from the disease itself and how the spread is going on, does manchester qualify to be in tier three, based purely on the infection rate as it stands? personal opinion, yes, it does. in other regions do as well. the government decided on these figures, there is always good to be some friction between the focus on the number of cases and the need to keep the economy going but, from a purely academic point of view where i am coming from, if you don't want the numbers to rise, it inevitably has an effect of the economy because you start to lose the ability to deliver other services. thank you very much

for your time this morning. we note liverpool very much struggling with tier three. the only place in england currently that is in that top tier. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm sonja jessup. london's mayor has written to the prime minsiter, calling for a support package for the capital, saying it's increasingly likely we'll face tighter coronavirus restrictions, perhaps this week. sadiq khan says it's likely to be moved into the higher tier 2 category and wants clarity on what help there will be for businesses and vulnerable londoners. moving up a category would mean a ban on mixing with other households indoors, including in pubs and restaurants. a woman from london, whose baby was stillborn, says more needs to be done to prevent the loss of babies in the black community.

according to a major report, black parents are twice as likely than white families to lose their baby to stillbirth. nhs england says all maternity services in london are actively working on improving services for women from black and minority ethnic groups. but genelle says more must be done. nothing is going to bring my daughter back. you know, even seeing the midwives cry, you're going to move on with your life, you'll forget my name, but i'm never going to forget her name, i'm never going to forget what this means to my life. and so many mums are never going to get to forget what this means to their lives and so that's why it is not about let's fix it later — we need to fix this now. now for many children who've experienced months of lockdown— and then a rather strange return to school it's been an anxious time. staff at daubeney primary in hackney said some children had been worried by hand washing and social distancing but they've been cheered up with a visit from a group called

the kindness offensive, who handed out tonnes of toys. let's take a look at the travel situation now... couple of faulty trains causing problems this morning— firstly, the dlr has minor delays between woolwich arsenal and stratford international— and the overground has no service between hackney downs and chingford. the m25 down to two lanes. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini hello, good morning. a fairly pleasant day of weather for most of us today. it should stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some decent spells of sunshine to enjoy those autumn colours in. now, we're starting off with temperatures in mid to high single figures this morning. the sunshine today always best towards western home counties. further east, it's a cloudier picture and there could be a few spots of drizzle here. watch out for one or two showers that may work their way into parts

of kent and essex, in particular. just blowing through on a fairly brisk and noticeably chilly north—easterly wind. and temperatures are below where they should be at this time of year again, peaking between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, through this evening and overnight, there'll be some areas of cloud. a bit too much of a breeze, too much cloud, really, for any frost to form, but it is a cooler start to the day tomorrow. so quite a chilly start to friday. again, there'll be plenty of cloud around throughout the day. the sunshine always best the further west you are, and temperatures still below the average slightly, for the time of year. over the weekend, high pressure dominates so it is still looking dry. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. more than four million people across northern england could be placed under tougher new restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus.

greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham who has threatened legal action if the alert level is raised, will resume talks with ministers this morning. the new three—tier system sees every area of england classed as being on ‘medium', ‘high' or ‘very high' alert. free school meals are being made available throughout the school holidays, to all eligible children in wales. the welsh government said it was spending an extra £11 million to reassure families at an uncertain time. england footballer marcus rashford, who successfully campaigned on the issue in england, welcomed the plan. he will also launch a petition today, calling on the government to expand access to free school meals in england. we're joined now by the conservative mp and chair of the education select committee, robert halfon. thank you very much for your time with us this morning. this announcement by the welsh government and the spending of £11 million, how significant do you think this is?”

welcome the action of the welsh government and we know that in england 1.9 million children are facing food insecurity. there were 2.2 million children on free school meals and families during covid—19 have had a drop of income of 32%. food insecurity, amongst those families, could rise by over 300,000. sol families, could rise by over 300,000. so i would like the government, the prime minister to set up an urgent task force with people like marcus rashford and the food companies to deal with child food companies to deal with child food hunger and we need to start by making sure that we provide free school meal vouchers during the half term and christmas holidays for those children who just do not have enough food to eat at home. this may be an uneducated question but why do you need a task force? it has been done before why does the government not continue it? we need a long-term

plan to deal with this which we cannot have policy by band—aid, by elastoplast and what they should be isa elastoplast and what they should be is a long—term strategy to deal with the growing problem of child food hunger and we need to look at brea kfast clu bs, hunger and we need to look at breakfast clubs, more of them across the country, a holiday activity programme where children can go to school and learn some well—being and support and for food so the food vouchers is just one of the issues that the government need to deal with and they can do that quickly but there are long—term problems that must be grappled with and i think the prime minister and people like marcus rashford, some of the big food companies across the uk are setting out a long—term plan so we do not have this problem in this future or we minimise it as much as possible. so i am just future or we minimise it as much as possible. so i amjust looking future or we minimise it as much as possible. so i am just looking at the government statement. "we have taken action to make sure children and their families do

taken action to make sure children and theirfamilies do not go hungry, extending free school meal support to those eligible, extending our welfare support by £9.3 billion in funding councils to provide emergency assistance to families by allocating £63 million in councils distributing that to those in need. is that a sticking plaster?” welcome the policies that the government have done and i welcome, particularly, the expansion of brea kfast clu bs particularly, the expansion of breakfast clubs which do make a huge difference for children by up to two months of attainment in disadvantaged schools around the country. so the government should be credited for that but we do know there is an endemic problem in terms of childhood poverty in our country. we know that because of covid and i mentioned the figure of 32% of families, they are facing a loss of income, the office of budgetary responsibilities said that because of the rise of unemployment that could lead to over 330,000 children

facing food insecurity at home. this is why this is a long—term problem and they need to be long—term policies to deal with it. free school meal vouchers, expansion of brea kfast clu bs, school meal vouchers, expansion of breakfast clubs, looking at how we fund. these things should be funded from the sugar tax, the kohler tax. tell me about the conversations you have had with other members of the conservative party. how supportive are they, as a whole, of what you are they, as a whole, of what you are trying to do and make sure of?” have had regular conversations with the children's minister, vicki ford andi the children's minister, vicki ford and i know she cares about this. i am trying to push the government to come up with this long—term plan and many of my colleagues across all parties support this. we did an all—party will lead by a labour mp

and supported by a significant number of conservatives this week to try and extend request clubs across many more schools around the country because we know the difference that even kids a proper breakfast may to their well—being and educational attainment. so there is a movement within the party that the government need to set a serious long—term plan. and if this comes from the prime minister with a proper task force i think it could make a real difference etiquette as chair of the education select committee, i would like to hear your thoughts. we will talking to the mayor of liverpool on this programme and in previous comments he has spoken about schools accounting for a significant chunk of transmission and he discussed extending half term by another week to tackle rising case numbers. do you think this is a sensible approach? should halftone be extended in certain schools in liverpool? —— half term?”

extended in certain schools in liverpool? -- half term? ithink liverpool? -- half term? ithink liverpool and the rest of the country should be guided by the science. i worry about millions of children, again, being in lockdown and not learning. we know that in the last lot down many children learn to barely anything at all. but to give you a bit of the science he also said that between one quarter and one third of all students in the city are now isolating because of positive cases in their year group bubble. so although it is not exact science there is a case there that the virus is spreading among children. clearly and probably the science from the chief medical officer and the chief science officer will set the way forward for that city but whatever happens in terms of school closures, if children are sent home because of this, with the government, they need to make it clear that children will be learning and that their proper

online learning carries on at home and ofsted, the department for education need to work with schools to make sure that children do not suffer a significant loss of learning and if they do go back home, as you describe. chair of the education select committee, thank you very much forjoining us this morning. it is 39 minutes past seven and mike has the sport for us. mike, ididn't and mike has the sport for us. mike, i didn't realise until i heard earlier on just i didn't realise until i heard earlier onjust how rare i didn't realise until i heard earlier on just how rare it is for an england player to be sent off. earlier on just how rare it is for an england player to be sent offm does not happen very often and for the first time ever two players were sent off last night even though the second player was sent off after the final whistle when he said a few naughty words to the referee. but it has been a long time. recently there have been too but that had not happened for 100 games earlier. it shows is how things can change so quickly. the high of defeating the number one side in the world and top

of the nations league group and they are now third and struggling to make the finals after this dismal display with denmark. england make the headlines this morning for all the wrong reasons. two players sent off in a match for the first time as they lost 1—0 to denmark at wembley. harry maguire became only the third england player to be sent off at wembley after a second yellow card for this tackle. just a few minutes later england conceded a penalty, which former tottenham midfielder christian eriksen put away. things got worse after the final whistle when reece james was also sent off. but it's was maguire's red that was the focus for gareth southgate post—match. he will come through it and be a better player and a stronger man for it. and he knows that there will be criticism after this and you must accept that, to go down to ten men is costly for the team. but we fully support him and he has been a top player and is a top player for us

and he will come through it. bit of history for scotland, who are on a brilliant run at the moment. they beat the czech republic 1—0 in glasgow last night, and are now eight games without defeat — that's their best run in more than 30 years. ryan fraser got the only goal of the game and scotland are top of their group. as are wales after their own 1—0 win. they had to wait until the 85th minute to beat bulgaria. jonny williams got the goal for ryan giggs' side. not such a good night for northern ireland. they lost 1—0 to norway in oslo — their third nations league defeat in a row. premier league clubs have had their say, on plans to shake up how football is structured and financed. they unanimously agreed yesterday that project big picture won't go ahead. there were concerns that would provide too much power and control to the big six teams. there is

another cunning plan. premier league sides have agreed to work on a strategic plan for the financing of english football. they will also offer a £50 million rescue passage —— package to lower legs to make sure clubs do not go out of business during the pandemic, on top of more than £27 million paid in solidarity payments. the football league clubs will discuss the latest proposals today. i was always have the belief when i heard the news about project big picture is that it would be hard to get through so in the back of my head i did not feel it had a chance. it was positive news for the majority of the clubs but in a way it has acted as a catalyst for this conversation. real problems for wasps. what true players and three members of staff have tested positive for covid—19. thankfully

they are all in good health and self isolating but the club have now had to cancel training for the rest of this week, putting them behind and they face exeter in the final at twickenham one week on saturday. the year gets better and better for holly doyle who has broken her own british record for the number of winners written in a year by a female jockey. her 117th win came last weekend and she is currently fourth in the standings with a great incentive to try and move up one place to third because she is one place to third because she is one place behind her boyfriend. it all will come to a head on saturday. and here is a story that tim may enjoy. a world first cliff dive to the extreme. this is constantine and, wow, disappearing into the depths

there at one of the oldest salt mines in the world. that is crazy. 120 metres beneath the ground. the water is so salty, 70% denser than the seed that makes the entry into the seed that makes the entry into the water more painful. but at least you would know you would probably float. that is true. it is like the dead sea. you would feel the salt. but there is a place in wales where you can go zip lining down to the ca nyo ns you can go zip lining down to the canyons and through the caverns. and how they build that little perch that they dived from! do you think tim has become the breakfast action man? he is never worried or hesitant when he is talking. can i just point out that mike is the original action man. that is

official. you are like a have a go hero and tim is action man stop you have a go. tim isjust mr cool. you are cool as well. i represent everybody‘s fears. maybe you are more open. we will talk to tim later and find out. how about cliffside camping for you? i will quite happily set up a tent for you! thank you, but i would politely decline. we are off to a sunny start, for some showers and for others a cloud. this is a gorgeous picture. thank you for sending it in. forthe gorgeous picture. thank you for sending it in. for the rest of the week, we're looking at the sunny spells but large areas of cloud at

times. scattered showers from the largest cloud and also possible drizzle. once again today, across eastern parts of england, we have a brisk cool north—easterly wind. cloud to start the day in eastern areas. a line of showers coming in across parts of east anglia but more notably through kent and the channel islands and they will be on and off and some heavier through the course of the day. brighter skies further west. the cloud continuing to travel from eastern scotland towards the west. the western isles, northern ireland, south—west scotland and northern england seeing a lot of bright weather and sunshine. always feeling cooler in that brisk north—easterly wind along the east coast of england. through this

evening and overnight, a fair bit of cloud around with showers stop clear skies towards the west. patchy mist and fog. in sheltered and rural areas temperatures will be lower than what you see on the chart. tomorrow we start off with the cloud, thick enough across eastern scotla nd cloud, thick enough across eastern scotland for some drizzle. areas of cloud and skies across southern areas and south wales. northern england could see a fair bit of sunshine. but the wind will not be as strong so it may feel a little bit better. for the weekend, essentially more of the same. cloudy, some sunshine but still a few showers. the saturday, the wind changes so that means any showers coming in will be peppering the north coast. come further south,

we're looking at a fair bit of cloud with sunny skies and fewer showers. by with sunny skies and fewer showers. by the time we get to sunday, still a lot of cloud around. it sounds like my needle is stuck in my record. there will be sunny skies as well and later on sunday they could bea well and later on sunday they could be a change in the way with the front coming in from the atlantic which look at the moment like they could bring some rain across the north and west. temperatures on sunday, only six degrees here. below average for the time of year. as we head into next week, high—pressure gives way to low pressure and it looks like it will be unsettled, wet and windy and a little bit milder for the first part of the week and then getting colder again. when ten—year—old max woosey‘s

74—year—old friend and neighbour, rick, passed away earlier this year, he left him a tent and asked him to promise he would take it on an adventure. that area, how's it looking for him? it does not look that great? in the next few days, it will be not too bad but finite it will be chilly so he will have to wrap up wobbly. hasn't he done well! when was the last time you went camping? crumbs, 1871 that back a long time ago. look and learn from this young man, carol. when ten—year—old max woosey‘s 74—year—old friend and neighbour, rick, passed away earlier this year, he left him a tent and asked him to promise he would take it on an adventure. the pandemic meant he wasn't able to stray too far from his own back garden, where he has now been camping out for more than 200

nights, raising money for his local hospice, which helped rick. and, he's been keeping a video diary. it is very cold and very windy. i just wanted to say thank you to everybody who has been supporting, helping me raise some money... i am planning to do this until i am finished and i am doing this because of my two friends. this is day 37. tonight is supposed to be a yellow on the weather warnings. it will be very windy, very yucky. u nfortu nately i very windy, very yucky. unfortunately i have to sleep in that. as you can see, i have my

teddy, it is a very snug and very small and this is what i call home. max and his mum rachaeljoin us now. inside the tent right now. good morning to both. good morning. i wa nt morning to both. good morning. i want you to tell me about your friend rick. 74 years old and he sounds to me like someone who was really special? he was an amazing man, really fit, spotty, and the only time i saw him indoors was when when he was watching the rugby. you obviously had quite a bond with him, what was the thing that you sparked off each other? i think we moved

here to our house and unfortunately his wife passed away soon after he moved in and we were not great friends than but obviously we wanted to ta ke friends than but obviously we wanted to take care of him and make him our friend and after that we got quite good friends and instead of going to good friends and instead of going to go to dinner, i would ask him questions. tell me about rick's adventures, one that stood out for you? i think about a week or month before he he climbed a mountain. just because he was really adventurous and he wanted one final blow. he was obviously a determined man. when he viewed the tent and

said go and have an adventure, obviously the coronavirus restrictions kicked you resorted to your back garden but it was not going to be for one night, what inspired you? ijust loved it so much and i thought it was for a good cause and that you wanted to keep doing it and i knew! cause and that you wanted to keep doing it and i knew i was going to carry on but now my goal is 100 note... sorry, a year. i don't want to get people confused. you have beenin to get people confused. you have been in the tenderfoot 200 nights and you are going to carry on until you reach a whole year? yes. there is something about your son that makes me think, he is going to do it. you can just makes me think, he is going to do it. you canjust tell. you need to clarify fast, you are sitting in the tent but you have not spent much

time in that, have you?” tent but you have not spent much time in that, have you? i have done three nights with him. we did the 100th night and there was a night when he had a really high temperature and we said he could not slip out because he was to polly and he got upset by that so i ended up sleeping in the tent with him. ———— poorly. and i don't know, i might do the last one with him. people would be watching, it is safe out there and you can keep an eye on him? absolutely. it is a secure, fairly small garden, and trust me, any time there is movement or noise out there, i wake up. like any other, i tend to sleep with one ear listening out. local wildlife, tend to sleep with one ear listening out. localwildlife, foxes, is it busy and noisy at night? one night i

woke up and it had and i did not know what it was but i wake up later and there was a red and nest under my tent. i moved in and they all came across my leg, it me and went away. that is sore. while you are doing this, we are notjust doing this to sleep in a tent, you are raising money. we are showing your charity page. you have raised over £51,000. what is this money going to be used for and how will it make a difference? it will make a huge difference? it will make a huge difference to the hospice. like many charity, they have had a lot of fundraising cut during covid so all of the shops were shut and all the

events were cancelled and they have had to do without a lot of funding... this money will also be able to help lots of other families and help the workers as well but one of the great things about the hospice is they also have a person who needs it and the family and friends and i think that is 100 times more important so all of them, the hospice, they can help the friends and family and that person get through the hard times. no-one could have said it any better than that. what i love amongst other things is that thing of reaching out. rick was 74 and there was a special thing between you and now there is going to be something tangible to pass on. rachel, well done for setting in the tent as long as you did. good luck to you and we

will catch up maybe when you have done the whole year. thank you. thank you. a bit of a camping theme. well, camping in your garden is one thing, but if you like to pitch your tent somwhere a bit more dramatic then tim muffett‘s gotjust the thing. i hope you are ok. we should have had a warning before we showed this picture of you! how are you? very good. i've been trying a bit of cliffside camping. how is this for a socially distancing activity. i am dangling off the edge of a cliff in dorset. you can be lowered onto here and this is your tent effectively. it has proven incredibly popular. it has been a difficult year for the

tourist industry. we saw a lot of crowded beaches but a lot of people we re crowded beaches but a lot of people were visiting results at the last minute so a lot of hotels and bed and express did not see the benefit. a 49% drop in tourism spending, a 45 billion pound hit however different activities approving popular if they can be done while adhering to social distancing and the rules which are forever changing. we are taking a look at why certain activities approving popular and why cliffside camping is very popular and what businesses and results could do to try and get through this very difficult time for the tourist industry. it is an amazing image. can you look down? i can look down.

what an amazing view. we are incredibly and safely secured. it is quite a way to spend a few hours if you are scared of heights. some people choose to spend all night. you can have a meal sent to you. all sorts of things on offer. the people who run this have said it is very popular because foreign travel is not an option and people want to try something different. cliff camping was predicted to take off and it certainly has. that is quite an image. look at that. it is a drone shot. you get a real sense of where he is. he is safe, i should reiterate that, and happy. headlines are coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a deepening row over whether to impose tighter restrictions on large parts of northern england, as the mayor of greater manchester threatens legal action. a strict new curfew in paris. people won't be allowed to leave their homes after 9pm, in a bid to stem rising infection rates. marcus rashford welcomes moves by the welsh government to provide free meals for the poorest children during the school holidays, and calls for the same in england. good morning. making masks work for everyone. government officials meet with police and shop bosses to work out a way of getting us to follow the rules. what are they? who should be enforcing them? england lose their heads, and their match at wembley, as harry maguire is sent off, and gareth southgate's side are beaten by denmark in the nations league. good morning. today once again, a day of sunny spells, large areas of cloud and a brisk north—easterly

wind blowing in some showers. i'll have all the details in about ten minutes. it's thursday, 15th october. our top story: more than four million people across northern england could be placed under tougher new restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus, as talks resume between ministers and local leaders today. greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham, has argued against harsher measures, and threatened legal action if the alert level is raised. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now from westminster. there is a lot of debate right now about just what restrictions there is a lot of debate right now aboutjust what restrictions should be in place where. tell us a little about how those decisions will come about. yes, good morning. let me talk you through the rundown of meetings and discussions that will ta ke meetings and discussions that will take place this morning. at 9:30, london's mps have been invited onto a call with the government. the

expectation is in the capital there will be a raising of the tier status from tier one to tier two, that would mean a ban on household mingling indoors, kicking and relatively imminently. at 10:15, lancashire's mps have been invited onto a call with ministers. half an hour later, the turn of greater manchester's mps. andy burnham, the greater manchester mayor, will have a conversation with downing street. the expectation for manchester and lancashire is they will tip into tier three, the highest tier in england. it is only the liverpool city region currently in that tier. we have seen a lot of pushback from mr burnham in the last couple of days, i'm happy at the prospect of going into tier three and demanding more support for those people who will be put out of work or told they can't work as a result of those restrictions, closing large swathes of the hospitality industry. so what could be coming for lancashire and

greater manchester? we have had an insight into that this morning from the mayor of liverpool. the city and the mayor of liverpool. the city and the surrounding area already and the surrounding area already in tier three. it is not acceptable, it is not good enough. we were forced into this position and i don't blame any other city or local authority but the fact is the government will decide who goes into tier three today. i expect to see more today, tomorrow and the next few days being placed in tier three. and yes, the power lies with central government to make these decisions for the english regions but the government pretty keen to involve local leaders and ensure actually that they are bound into the decision—making where possible, in the hope they can take ownership of them, not least because from the government because my perspective, local leaders are locally democratically elected and so obviously carry quite a bit of sway and say in their local areas. a couple of other updates as far as

the rest of england is concerned, i'm told they won't be a decision taken as far as the sheffield city region is concerned today and it doesn't look likely there will be any decision today as far as large chunks of the north—east of england will be concerned. there could be movement there soon but the discussions would appear to be at a much earlier stage. chris, thank you very much. germany and france have announced new coronavirus control measures. in france, there will be a night—time curfew for paris and eight other cities. in germany, which has recorded its highest number of infections since the start of the pandemic, bars will now be forced to close early. there will also be limits on people meeting in areas with rising numbers of cases. simonjones reports. two leaders with two announcements, but one shared message — there are difficult times to come. in germany, there's a warning that the disease is growing exponentially. there will be new restrictions in areas with high transmission, including a curfew for bars and limits on people meeting.

translation: i'm convinced that what we do and what we don't do in the coming days and weeks will be decisive for the question of how we get through this pandemic, because we can see that the curves of the infection rates are pointing upwards, in parts, quite steeply. germany has recorded more than 6500 new cases — a record figure for a single day. translation: we are much closer to a second lockdown than people would like to believe. if we look at how the numbers are developing, then it's high time, maybe not even five to midnight but rather the stroke of midnight, to set the right course. in france, a state of emergency has been declared. there's real concern that hospitals and intensive care units will become overwhelmed. to try to stop the spread of the virus, there'll be no more

late night dining in paris. people there and in eight other major cities will have to stay indoors from 9pm to 6am. the curfew will come into effect from saturday and last for at least four weeks. president macron appeared on tv with a sobering message, accompanied by a rallying cry. translation: we have not lost control. we are in a situation which is worrying and which means we shouldn't remain inactive, but we shouldn't panic. we cannot get through this if everyone doesn't play their part, doesn't do their bit. an example of this in the czech republic — police raid a restaurant which was supposed to be closed. they found the guests had been moved to a cellar to carry on drinking and partying. and in the netherlands, a last hurrah. bars, restaurants and cafes are closing. the warning there, like in many other european countries, is that if the coronavirus rates don't come down, more drastic measures may be needed. simon jones, bbc news.

let's speak now to our paris correspondent lucy williamson. good morning to you. it would be interesting to hear what reaction has come about from these new restrictions? it is a big step but a lot of people here realise a big step was needed. you look at the new cases that are coming here in france every day and it's been about 20,003 orfour every day and it's been about 20,003 or four times every day and it's been about 20,003 orfour times and every day and it's been about 20,003 or four times and the last sort of week or two. there has been a lot of talk about division of power, whether the national government should be setting these kind of restrictions, whether the local government should have more say, thatis government should have more say, that is something i know you have talked about in the uk. at the moment, it seems there is a recognition that something needs to be done. in paris, for example, the mayor has come out and said she stands behind this new curfew. we have had the head of the regional hospitals here saying if nothing is done, then he thinks we will be up to 70-90% of done, then he thinks we will be up to 70—90% of life—support beds occupied by the end of this month. soi

occupied by the end of this month. so i think there is a sense of urgency here. there is also a sense of waning tolerance on the part of the public but still, yes, a lot of worry about this virus and it seems the government has taken this step to try and avoid a full national lockdown. lucy, thank you very much. lucy williamson there. free school meals are being made available throughout the school holidays, to all eligible children in wales. the welsh government said it was spending an extra £11 million to reassure families at an uncertain time. manchester united footballer marcus rashford, who successfully campaigned on the issue, welcomed the plan. he will also launch a petition today, calling on the government to expand access to free school meals in england. in the last hour, the conservative chair of the education committee, also called on the uk government to step in. we know that in england, 1.9 million children are facing food insecurity. there are 2.2 million children on free school meals and families, during covid, have had a drop

of income of 32% and food insecurity amongst those families could rise by over 300,000. so, i'd like the government, the prime minister to set up an urgent task force with people like marcus rashford and the food companies to deal with child food hunger and we need to start off by making sure that we provide free school meal vouchers during the half term and christmas holidays for those children who just don't have enough food to eat at home. eu leaders are in brussels today where they'll discuss post brexit trade negotiations for the first time in months. in a phone call last night, borisjohnson told the eu that he was disappointed that negotiations hadn't yet progressed further. last month, the prime minister insisted a free trade deal had to be in place with the eu by today, the 15th of october, he has now said he'll wait until eu leaders finished their summit on friday before deciding the uk's next steps.

people will be able to ask for cashback from local shops, even if they don't buy anything — under plans drawn up by the government. cash was used in fewer than three in 10 purchases last year, and used less frequently during the pandemic. the treasury proposals come as concern grows that some communities are turning into so—called "cash deserts" following the closure of bank branches and atms. it's 8:11. let's catch up with carol and see what is happening with the weather in the next few days, misty behind you? weather in the next few days, misty behind you ? that weather in the next few days, misty behind you? that is right, a lovely picture here of perth and kinross. there is some missed this morning. what we have today and for the next few days is a mixture. we have some sunny spells, there will be areas of crowd, they can offer some drizzle or even showers. today we also have a brisk north—easterly wind coming around this area of high pressure,

it's cool if you are planning on a stroll along the north sea coastline today. you certainly will notice it. the other thing is its producing of their bit of cloud and showers, more showers than you can see in the chart at the moment. the cloud in north—eastern scotland drifting westwards. a line of showers coming through east anglia, in through kent and towards the channel islands as we go through the day. some intent and the channel islands could be sharp. best of the sun shine out towards the west and here we have temperatures 10—14. through this evening and overnight, we hang on to afair bit evening and overnight, we hang on to a fair bit of cloud, still some of those showers, that cloud thick enoughin those showers, that cloud thick enough in scotland for some drizzle. in the west under clearer skies, we could see some patchy mist and fog forming. in ruralareas, temperatures will be lower than those who can see on the charts, which represent towns and cities. through tomorrow, we will still have this cloud across scotland producing some drizzle, some showers. for england, wales and northern ireland, you will have some sunny skies but

still of time —— at times and still a few showers but the winds will fall a bit lighter than today so it won't feel quite as cold and temperatures ranging from nine in the north to 14 in the south. more details on a longer range forecasting about half an hour. thank you, carol. fireworks season officially starts today, with the shops now allowed to sell them for just a few weeks before bonfire night. with many organised events cancelled because of covid, there are fears a rise in the number of amateur displays at home could lead to a surge in serious accidents. let's speak tojohn maguire now, who can tell us more. imean, it i mean, it is apt you are at a fire station this morning for some good morning to you. good morning, we are at temple fire station in the heart of bristol city. there has just station in the heart of bristol city. there hasjust been station in the heart of bristol city. there has just been a station in the heart of bristol city. there hasjust been a crude change, the overnight crew that were on watch last night handed over to green watcher will take the day shift. we know it is always a busy

time of year, a hardy annualfor shift. we know it is always a busy time of year, a hardy annual for the fire service to warn about the potential risks of fireworks but as with so many aspects of our lives at the moment, coronavirus has shifted the moment, coronavirus has shifted the game. we need some more for the others... maisie is a bright, confident and happy eight—year—old, but ask her about watching fireworks displays and this is what she says. i would sit on the back rowjust in case it did go wrong, so i would go but i would just make sure... make sure you're safe? bonfire night, 2016, and the family were enjoying their back garden display when one firework misfired and embedded itself in maisie's scarf. it was pretty awful, wasn't it? yeah, it really hurt. i definitely nearly fainted. i was in lots of shock. i think you probably

were in shock, weren't you? since maisie's accident, i've always said to people, organised displays are without a doubt the safest place to go. i mean, and the fireworks are so much more spectacular than you could ever do in your garden. but the worry is, obviously this year, with covid, that the organised displays, they‘ re just not happening, so the temptation for people to go to the supermarket and pick up a box of fireworks and do them in the backyard is going to be more than ever. and that's the problem. with large—scale and well—organised displays cancelled due to covid, on the day fireworks go on sale officially, the fire service says it is very concerned. this so we recognise that people want to do events at home and we are just urging people to take care, think about planning ahead, think about only buying fireworks from licensed, authorised dealers, and take advice, make sure you have the space and the safety to do so. if you are in any doubt, please, just wait until next year. we realise it's going to spoil some fun this year, it is a challenge between the covid—19 precautions

and the safety precautions of fireworks and other dangerous events from bonfires etc. the fireworks industry is expecting a busy season but is mindful that this year the safety message is more important than ever. think, check, respect — think about what you're doing, check that what you're doing is safe and respect those around you. if you follow that little mantra, you will have a happy display. neighbours can come out and watch as well, from the safety of their own gardens. and everyone should be happy. the number of serious incidents are collated by the international burn injury database. the past six years in england and wales have seen more than a thousand severe accidents, with 38% of those suffered by children aged under 15. maisie is one of those cases. ifirst met herjust a year after the accident. today, she still makes regular hospital appointments to check her skin grafts and scar tissue. people just really need to realise

how dangerous they can be. if they are aware of the risks, then maybe they will think twice about doing it, maybe wait till next year — go to a really good display next year, instead of having one in your garden this year. i don't think we should do that again. no, we're not doing it again. no, we're not going to do it again. she's always been very brave, but she has no choice. but this year, other families do. just wanted to show you the turntable, this will take firefighters up 13 floors. if they are called to a fire at a big building, that can be sent out from the fire station. good morning, mark watson, station manager. as i said, a different hue to the warning this year. a different hue to the warning this yea r. let's start a different hue to the warning this year. let's start by asking, how busy are you in the autumn season,

especially with the run—up to bonfire night? it definitely gets a lot busier, a lot more calls, more risks, people are definitely getting more injuries. as a result of bonfire night and celebrations people are having. you always put a lot of effort into planning for these sorts of events, this time of year. different this time. what mitigation and contingencies are in place to try to maybe deal with a spike in demand? i don't know, we will have to wait and see. we are putting out the safety messages for people and hopefully people will listen because we do see an increase in risk and injuries. please, take that on board. we are expecting it differently this year because people are not attending bigger events and celebrations which historically have been very well run, well rehearsed, very keen on safety. as people have more celebrations at home, do their

own events, the onus is on those people. if you are having events at home, please make sure you follow the safety guidance. anything you buy, follow the instructions. don't put yourself, your family and neighbours at risk. as neil from the national association was telling us in the report, you don't want to be a killjoy, but as we saw from the report withjohn a killjoy, but as we saw from the report with john maisie, a killjoy, but as we saw from the report withjohn maisie, fireworks injuries can be very nasty —— macro with young maisie. definitely don't bea with young maisie. definitely don't be a killjoy, but make sure people have fun, but definitely the safe, controlled fun and make sure no one ta kes a ny controlled fun and make sure no one takes any risks and with that, please, please be aware of your local covid—19 advice. i know here it isa local covid—19 advice. i know here it is a maximum of six people. make sure you know what is going on in your area and everyone can have a great time but be safe. let's hope

so. thank you, mark watson, good to see you. you might wonder why there is an open garage door because they have already been sent out on a shout this morning. never a dull moment for these guys at the fire station especially one in the middle ofa station especially one in the middle of a busy city centre. thank you very much. at the beginning of the year, the idea of wearing a mask or a face covering in a shop would have been pretty unusual. now, of course, it's compulsory. but not everyone is keeping to the rules. everyone is doing nothing, getting used to it, are you in the routine of taking it with you when you go out? are there still some people who are not sticking to the rules? we have had a pile on the table by door but as soon as it runs out, we wash them in the washing machine, keeping them in the washing machine, keeping the cycle going. it is amazing to

see how they have slipped into everyday life. not everyone has to wear them, of course. everyday life. not everyone has to wearthem, of course. people everyday life. not everyone has to wear them, of course. people are exempt for a variety of reasons. but there are definitely those who aren't exempt and aren't following the rules. what are they? government guidance says any place where face coverings are required should take reasonable steps to make sure people are abiding by the law. retailers say they are doing this, through things like tannoy announcements. a couple of supermarkets have also employed marshals to stand on the door and gently remind people of the rules. but they say it's not their job to enforce the law. that's the job of the police. but police officers can't monitor every shop and, so far, only 28 of the £200 fines have been handed out in england and wales. the shop workers' union says it isn't fair to put workers in a dangerous position challenging customers. but that means some shoppers are left feeling vulnerable around those who aren't wearing a mask.

i think it starts with yourself first, you know, like, your own kind of health and safety. and then if there is a security guard or an owner of the shop, they should have some form of responsibility themselves as well. enforcing, tricky situation, isn't it? i don't know. in simple terms, i don't know. i've just spoken to somebody in our place and told them that they can't be in there without a mask on. i took it upon myself to say that. in the shops, i think they should be enforcing it because you can't have police everywhere at this present time, so if you've got a load of police at the train station asking everybody to do it... but in shops, they should be themselves, have one person at the door. just to make things more complicated... councils also have powers and can even close down shops which are failing to comply. yesterday, representatives from retail groups, police and trading standards got together to discuss how to move forward. the chief executive of the association of convenience stores,

james lowman, joins me now. he represents smaller shops like spa, the shops people are familiar with. talk me through some of the challenges staff have had to face enforcing facemasks. firstly, most people coming into the stores are wearing face coverings and lots of great examples of the police and retailers working together on this. a lot of positivity but we are focusing on challenges and they are that some customers and they have forgotten that some customers and they have fo rg otte n a that some customers and they have forgotten a face covering. firstly, it can lead to altercations with other customers who may feel unsafe and face coverings are required. it may lead to another flashpoint with collea g u es may lead to another flashpoint with colleagues in the store. to put in context, last year 50,000 incidents of violence towards people working in convenience stores. we don't want any more flashpoints. you may have seen on social media and elsewhere

some of the examples of some of the worst incidents. thankfully they are quite rare. but still far too many incidents of abuse of shop workers and those altercations in stores. it is about trying to defuse those and manage the situation where we are supporting colleagues but also communicating and reminding customers of the rules when it comes to face coverings. big meeting yesterday between police, government representatives, retailers, what came out of that, shared advice in terms of going forward? a private meeting but i don't think i am breaking confidence is when i say it was extremely constructive and eve ryo ne was extremely constructive and everyone recognises the challenges we have, exacerbated by the fact some people are exempt from wearing face coverings, not a straightforward thing to identify eve ryo ne straightforward thing to identify everyone who should be wearing face coverings. what came out of the meeting was a renewed effort to communicate, you go to shops and our

sectors, all sorts of retailers, communication is really good, you are seeing clear messaging, posters, tannoy announcements. a lot is happening already. it is trying to work with the police on a very local level to try to address where there are flashpoints and issues to increase instances of wearing face coverings in stores. thank you. early in the conversation has started on further guidance might come out. a couple of tweets and e—mails, mrs baker says, come out. a couple of tweets and e—mails, mrs bakersays, retailers should be responsible, happy to take our money, should make sure customers are safe. anonymous, his wife works in a store, builders, not wearing masks and she is too frightened to stand up to them. lots of people saying it should not be the responsibility of shop workers to enforce it. another on twitter, police are too busy, shop workers are not paid enough for that, it should be a specific role to enforce it. i understand it being difficult to challenge someone because you don't wa nt challenge someone because you don't

want any more aggravation. exactly. always good to get advice from the audience. people are offering facemasks. i have been on the tram a couple of times where face must have been passed on to people. bit of kindness. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. london's mayor has written to the prime minister, calling for more financial support for the capital, saying it's increasingly likely we'll face tighter coronavirus restrictions — perhaps this week. sadiq khan says we could be moved into the higher tier two category, and he wants clarity on what help there will be for businesses and vulnerable londoners. moving up a category would mean a ban on mixing with other households indoors, including in pubs and restaurants. a father from stevenage says there is not enough support for dads like him who lose their baby. donald butcher and his wife

lost their unborn child at 18 weeks. one in four pregancies end in miscarriage and donald is part of a group called dope black dads who are trying to raise awareness of the issue. who do i speak to? who has provided a space for me to talk about this? who do i go to and turn to? and i've had all sorts of comments. i've had people telling me, "you need to man up, just be strong," and all the rest of it. i wanted to take my own life. i had everything ready. i was ready to go. ijust wanted to be with my daughter. now, for many children, who've experienced months of lockdown and then a rather strange return to school, it's been an anxious time. staff at daubeney primary in hackney said some children had been worried by hand washing and social distancing, but they've been cheered up with a visit from a group called the kindness offensive, who handed out tonnes of toys. let's take a look at the travel situation now. a faulty train is causing problems for the overground and also greater anglia trains.

there are severe delays between chingford and hackney downs. let's show you the north circular in barnet. the delays are getting longer heading towards colney hatch lane. the roads down to two lanes for works. queues are back to the kenninghall interchange. and there's been an accident on the m25. it's down to two lanes anti—clockwise just afterjunction 30 for lakeside. the tailbacks are back through the tunnels. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a fairly pleasant day of weather for most of us today. it should stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some decent spells of sunshine to enjoy those autumn colours in. now, we're starting off with temperatures in mid to high single figures this morning. the sunshine today always best towards western home counties. further east, it's a cloudier picture and there could be a few spots of drizzle here. watch out for one or two showers that may work their way into parts of kent and essex, in particular. just blowing through on a fairly brisk and noticeably chilly

north—easterly wind. and temperatures are below where they should be at this time of year again, peaking between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, through this evening and overnight, there'll be some areas of cloud. a bit too much of a breeze, too much cloud, really, for any frost to form, but it is a cooler start to the day tomorrow. so quite a chilly start to friday. again, there'll be plenty of cloud around throughout the day. the sunshine always best the further west you are, and temperatures still below the average slightly, for the time of year. over the weekend, high pressure dominates so it is still looking dry. there's more from me in around an hour. now it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning to you. just coming up to 8:30. thank you forjoining us.

andy burnham has threatened legal action if the new restrictions are put in place. every area of england is classed as being a medium, high or very high alert. the french president, emmanuel macron, has announced a night—time curfew which will be put in place for paris and eight other big cities in france. the new measures will start from this saturday, with the curfew lasting from 9pm to 6am for at least four weeks. it is expected to affect around 22 million people. a public health emergency has also been declared. free school meals are being made available throughout the school holidays, to all eligible children in wales. the welsh government said it was spending an extra £11 million to reassure families at an uncertain time. manchester united footballer marcus rashford, who successfully campaigned on the issue, welcomed the plan. he will also launch a petition today, calling on the government to expand access to free school meals in england. a mother of a young boy

with down's syndrome has made a series of cue cards, which lets people know what language is appropriate to use in relation to the condition. it's after she experienced unintentionally hurtful comments about her son. a hospital in cornwall has recently started using them. anna varle reports. can you say ‘bubbles' ? when i had arthur, one year ago, i did not know he had down syndrome so when i was told it was a real shock to me and i realised that i had really outdated and negative visions around down syndrome. where is arthur? there he is! so i thought, "where do these views come from? and then i realised they've come from language. i heard it on a daily basis and each time it really hurt. she developed a series of cards online during lockdown to change the language that people use to talk

about down syndrome. rather than saying a down syndrome baby, arthur is a baby first. he's arthur, a baby who has down syndrome. this is one of the most important to me. i hear it and it really hurts this one, this is with a typical baby sometimes someone will say, "well, with a normal child..." i think, he is normal. he is not typical. he is normal. in just weeks they have been shared worldwide. charities are making them a part of their national campaign and her local hospital is showing the cards on every screen in every department 24 hours a day. evan when we really try to get it right, sometimes we can get it wrong. so this kind of initiative helps us hugely, both our staff and anyone coming into the hospital can have an opportunity to read and see it and there is an opportunity to understand what it is like, the emotional impact

that the language we use has. angie is helping becca share the cards far and wide. she trains midwives, gps and consultants all over the country in how to speak to parents who have a child with down syndrome. we have come a long way in this country and across the world in how we talk about down syndrome and refer to people and treat people with down syndrome but there is a lot more work to be done. so becca's cards have come at a good time where she has simplified things right down to some simple and accessible messages. becca is now aiming to get these cards in every hospital and school in the country. let's all together, let's make an inclusive world so i don't have to hear these things, so arthur does not have to hear them growing up and they are such a tiny shift in language and they mean so much, notjust to me, but one in 1000 babies has down syndrome so that is hundreds of thousands of people. these cards will make

a difference for them. caroline white joins us now with her son, seb. and we can also speak to dr elizabeth corcoran, who's a psychiatrist and chair of the down syndrome research foundation. good morning to you all. caroline, let's start with you. i know you have been using these cards. you found them via the down syndrome association newsletter. how useful have they been in terms of the reaction you have had? absolutely, it isa reaction you have had? absolutely, it is a great resource, much—needed and as touched on in the report, these tiny, little subtle changes in language can make such a difference. language sets a tone right from pregnancy, when you are having tests for down syndrome a lot of medical people will refer to a risk rather than a chance. it'sjust people will refer to a risk rather than a chance. it's just setting a

bit of a warning and attaches fear to down syndrome, which is so wrong. i know, caroline, you have been very clear and determined to make sure the language used and attitude is changed. you make sure —— may char seb appeared in an advertising campaign because there was no one like seb you were seeing in parts of the media and in advertising, tell us about that. absolutely, and again resonating with what rebecca judd said. when seb was born, i was absolutely devastated, the diagnosis. i imagined this lifetime of feeling left out and our reality couldn't be more different to that, seb is a die and i wouldn't swap him for anything. —— is a delight. seb is a die and i wouldn't swap him foranything. —— is a delight. i remember seeing families having a big picnic and i remember thinking there won't be a family that represents mine and, of course, i

was right. then it happened again when we were shopping for school uniform. it was a really big milestone for us, as it is for anyone and i remember looking at all the children on the advertising and thinking, we are not represented here. it made me feel left out. i reached out to marks & spencer and amazingly they said yes and he has been modelling for them for eight yea rs. been modelling for them for eight years. i would love to say good morning to seb. good morning, seb. good morning. how are you? you look very smart in your school uniform. are you looking forward to school, what is your favourite thing? pe. i hear you are quite keen on sports, which sports do you like? football. football, are you any good? yeah. he's really good, actually. what position do you play? striker. and a

pretty good drop kick as well, in by. pretty good drop kick as well, in rugby. wright and all—rounder. caroline, we see someone darting around in the background, obviously around in the background, obviously a busy house, everyone getting ready for school? it's picadilly circus at the minute. i have three children and they are all waiting to go to school. we understand, dizzy days! let's go to doctor elizabeth corcoran. talk to us about why it's so important... often this is inadvertent, isn't it, people saying the wrong things? they don't mean to offend it's just one of those things, they don't know the language to use? absolutely. my background with a doctor hat, i've been through the training and i understand that these are people that go into a career to help people. the majority of the time, absolutely and

unintentional, saying we have diabetes in one end to hypertension and three. the language is... inaudible i'm so happy with what rebecca is doing with these cards and through the website, that people can download these and start to change that behaviour for their doctors locally and health care professionals because we, you know, speaking as someone who represents the community, we want to be people first. we are not the down syndrome person, we're the person with down syndrome, as we heard in the report. it was really interesting, caroline, i know you heard parts of the film you had before interviewing all of you. what we were hearing there is becker and her son arthur, who was born with down syndrome said, you know what, it's using language as

simple as typical rather than not normal, typical. absolutely, i agree. you can say it is what it is. charlie, you said language is very difficult and people find it difficult and people find it difficult but surely there comes a point, doesn't there, where people have to be more mindful and take on board the responsibility of not hurting someone else? absolutely, and it's just taking hurting someone else? absolutely, and it'sjust taking ownership hurting someone else? absolutely, and it's just taking ownership of that and educating. i think as was touched upon, no one has malicious intent and no one intends to offend but trust me, it hurts. the one that really hurts me, i see it time and time again, a sentence which will say, for example, seb who suffers from down syndrome, he does not suffer from down syndrome, from down syndrome, he does not sufferfrom down syndrome, he is just a typical boy who is very active and lives a very full and rewarding life. people sufferfrom illness or headaches, down syndrome is not an illness and that one really gets to me time and time

again. i think people are very open to be educated. i would hate to think i was saying something wrong and these cards are great, they are so friendly. they are written in a very conversational font. someone so friendly. they are written in a very conversationalfont. someone is bored! i think it is brilliant. these subtlety of nuances of language will make a difference. that is not good for us, seb, we see you yawning! it's contagious. on that theme of someone trying to find the right way to speak, do you fine people actually ask you? in a way, it's a bit of a bold move. people might feel a little uncomfortable to say up front to you, how do you want us to savings quest might do people do that will shy away from it? absolutely, two really great success stories is the nhs amended their web page. initially, it was a very negative about down syndrome. they

took on board these comments and changed it. they changed risk the chance and put a much more balanced view across about what down syndrome is. i also have a friend who is a police officer who phoned me to make sure he got the language correcting a report he was writing about someone with down syndrome. that is great. people are very much open to getting it right. they may be just don't think about it and i probably didn't think about it before i had seb. for me, the next step i would like to tackle is slurs. i hear all the time, people saying sorry, i'm just being a bit special or the word regard. i probably hear it on a weekly basis. if you call people out on that they say, i didn't mean it like that. it is what you means so you did mean it like that and that really hurts because it has an intent. if it was any other minority group, it would not be tolerated, rightly, and it shouldn't be tolerated and it should be the

centre of a learning disability. tolerated and it should be the centre of a learning disabilitym is really interesting, when caroline was talking about how she was absolutely, really distressed when she was pregnant and when she heard the news that her child would have down syndrome. what, in terms of the medical profession, is being done to improve preparation for people and it not being seen as negative? caroline use the word suffering with down syndrome, he is not suffering but living a brilliant lie. what should be done to language to prepare parents? we are working with the nhs and as caroline mentioned, we are working on things like public facing websites, doing our best to help them work on language, to be more appropriate and contemporary in the ways they discuss down syndrome with pregnant individuals. the problem that comes is the time lag between that and actually hitting your local hospital. so i think this

is why i love this project, because it actually gives something the community can do. they are downloading the cards, going on and speaking to your local department and saying what they have done in cornwall, could we do this? could this be your screensaver for the next few months? then we can say we are coming at it from both sides, and bottom down. unfortunately, from the community we can say, we can ask that these things to happen but it needs to, you know, become a bit of a tidal wave. we need the public to get on board and we need the clinicians to begin to realise that actually the outdated language has to go. it is ingrained with the discrimination and it needs to be washed out. we need to have respectful language, person first language. i think it's important to realise because we are talking about a down syndrome person with that sort of language, it becomes almost through the life span when is a down

syndrome comes into the clinic as an adult, it's the first thing people see is. someone could come in for depression and they would say that is normal for down syndrome. it blocks health care right through the life span. thank you for that. seb, we will give you the last word, what is the plan, whatjob will you do when you are older? what do you want to become a footballer? he would love to be a footballer. he did say he would like to be a hairdresser so he would like to be a hairdresser so he could make ladies pretty. why not combine the two koreas? no reason why not! it's been lovely catching up why not! it's been lovely catching up with you all. can you give the essay big wave? by everyone. 8:44. so many parents will be sympathising with caroline because seb is yawning. and his mum watching the clock thinking, got to get going!

people in parts of the uk with high rates of covid—19 will be banned from travelling to wales from 6pm tomorrow. police officers have already said the ban will be unenforceable, so how do officials plan to make sure people play by the rules? we're joined now by the first minister of wales, mark drakeford. can we establish that festival? i am in england, for example, in a tear to city —— first of all. this weekend, i fancy a trip to wales, go for a walk, take the dog, what happens next? the law in wales will mean you will not be able to do that because if you were living in such an area, you would be living somewhere where the viruses in far greater circulation than in the holiday destinations of wales and in order not to spread the virus to those parts of wales, people in wales are not able to go there and people from high circulation areas in other parts of the uk will not be

able to go there either. that is the principal, what is to stop me in practice? in practice, what will happen as the police will act as they did earlier in the year where we had a stay local rule in wales. the police will have extra patrols on the main roads coming into wales. if there are people who do not realise that the guidance in england is that you should not travel if you live in such an area and don't realise the rules in wales don't allow you to, the police will explain to people, make sure they understand the rules. most people will then be very happy to comply with those rules. if there are a minority of people who knowingly and frequently breach the law, fixed penalty notices will have to be applied to them —— flagrantly.” will quote to you what was said, on the face of it, it is unenforceable

because of the difficulty of identifying where people are coming from and where they are going to. to say that we would not have thought of introducing this if we had not of course discussed it first police police forces here in wales with the police and crime commissioners. they will take the action they need to take. but enforcement is the final result, not the first resort. what we wa nt result, not the first resort. what we want to do is to reinforce the message to people that this is a public health emergency, that they should not be travelling from high incidence areas to low incidence areas, wherever they are, notjust in wales, but in england, scotland as well. by reinforcing the wool in wales, most people will want to do the right thing —— the rule. just as welsh people in high incidence areas are not able to travel out of those

areas, people from beyond wales should not be able to do that either. can you clarify technicalities? would you be using number plate recognition because you could then tell where cars are from? will you use that? i believe the police will have a range of techniques they will be able to use and number plates are one of the ways in which they are able to identify cars travelling long distances, but that will not be the only way. they will have a long practice techniques developed earlier in the year and they will apply those again over the weeks to come. a lot of this is linked to half term which we know is coming up. there may be people travelling from areas outside of wales who have booked into holiday accommodation or hotels. is the onus on those people who own the properties, the hotels,

to notify the authorities if they think someone is coming from outside of wales ? think someone is coming from outside of wales? well, they should not be accepting bookings... they may already exist. they may already exist. if you are booking a house, holiday cottage, that would probably already exist. it may do, but those bookings will no longer be able to be honoured. it is why we are taking this action now to give people a good period of time to understand that if you did make a holiday booking in those parts of wales, i'm afraid that holiday will no longer be able to take place.” afraid that holiday will no longer be able to take place. i know you mentioned your concern that you had raised this issue directly with borisjohnson a raised this issue directly with boris johnson a number of raised this issue directly with borisjohnson a number of times and he failed to act. what conclusions do you draw from the fact he did not correspond with your view on the issue of how the virus is spreading from one place to another? well, i am genuinely baffled by the prime

minister's unwillingness to take an action which i think is very simple and straightforward and which would have reinforced the sense of acting together across the uk. i never wa nted together across the uk. i never wanted this to become an issue of the border, people travelling in and out of wales. i always thought it is an issue of high incidence areas and low incidence areas, wherever they may be. the prime minister says he hasissued may be. the prime minister says he has issued guidance. the problem is the police cannot take action on the basis of guidance. they have to have the full subfloor behind them. the prime minister could have acted —— the force of law. he could have acted to protect people against the flow of virus into areas where the virus is still effectively suppressed and he could have done together in a way that would have reinforced the message we are acting together across the uk. the prime minister could contact me today, he

could still change his mind, and then we would not need to do what we are doing. but so far i have had no success in persuading him of the simple and straightforward course of action. in that position, i am obliged, this is a public health emergency, i am obliged to take action to help to keep wales say. wales first minister, mark dra keford, wales first minister, mark drakeford, thank wales first minister, mark dra keford, thank you wales first minister, mark drakeford, thank you for your time this morning —— keep wales safe. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. another really nice picture. some really good ones this morning. yes, doing us proud. good morning. this lovely picture is of leeds, look at the autumnal colours. the weather forecast for the next few days is very much the same. sunny spells, areas of cloud they enough for drizzle and showers, but the wind will eventually ease —— thick

enough. the wind is coming around it ina enough. the wind is coming around it in a clockwise direction, north—easterly. walking along the east coast, you will notice it, taking the edge off the temperatures. starting off with showers and some will align themselves to give heavy showers in kent, the channel islands. brighter skies in some western areas and northern england. temperatures 10-14 , northern england. temperatures 10—14 , cooler northern england. temperatures 10—14, cooler in northern england. temperatures 10—14 , cooler in the northern england. temperatures 10—14, cooler in the wind. overnight, still showers around. some clear skies in the west. here we could see patchy mist and fog and the cloud in parts of scotland thick enough for drizzle. these are the overnight lows, 5—8. in sheltered areas, falling lower. tomorrow, again, quitea areas, falling lower. tomorrow, again, quite a bit of cloud especially in central and eastern areas. drizzle and the odd shower.

in the west, drier and brighter. lighter winds, not feeling quite as cold. thank you. how is your head for heights? have you seen what tim is doing? i could never do that, he is doing? i could never do that, he is so brave. i was going to give a little bit of warning... he is on the side of a cliff. it is a new thing, cliffside camping, tim is embracing it. just so you understand the picture, it is a little canopy that tim has been sleeping on and i think he is wavering. maybe we can get in closer. how is it there? good morning from thejurassic coast in dorset. on the isle of portland. i have been trying cliff camping. the idea is this is effectively your tent and hopefully the drone will reveal more of the view we have this morning. it is quite a sight to

enjoy. it has been such an extraordinary year for the uk domestic tourism industry, so many challenges because foreign travel has not been allowed, many have been restricted as to where they can go to in the uk, and visit britain has said it is a tough time for many tourist sites. a glimmer of hope is unusual activities such as this seemed to be very popular. i have been trying to find out why. well, at least you don't have to pitch a tent. this is it, then? portland, in dorset. eddiejung is finding that a lot of people want to try cliff camping. the idea of cliff camping is you come down to the cliff edge, you make sure you've got some safety equipment on, then you have a really nice relaxing evening,

as relaxing as it can be, and leave you to have a good night sleep. everyone has been literally so cooped up for such a long time, they want to escape. the tourism industry has been transformed by the pandemic. during the summer, there were days when the uk's beaches were packed, foreign travel for many no longer an option. but many went to the seaside on last—minute day trips so hotels and bed and breakfasts didn't necessarily see the benefit. visit britain's latest forecast is for a 49% decline in domestic tourism spending this year. that's a £45 billion loss to the economy. at the moment, the rules and regulations are changing so frequently, a lot of the outdoor centres have diversified to offering camping, that has been a saving grace for them. this feels so weird! this feels really weird! done a few camping trips before, nothing like that. unless you are a climber, you don't really get this experience.

so, this is where i am supposed to sleep. how do i go to the loo? it's a bit graphic, but can you see this tube? if you do need to go, when you've got to go, then you've got to be very balanced and delicate and you need to aim it into a plastic bag and then put the plastic bag into that sealed unit. what we don't want to do is have an effect on the environment. i might wait for the cameras to stop. fantastic, yeah. if you would allow me to escape as well... many businesses are having to adapt to survive. when it comes to camping, this is different. right then, time to get into my sleeping bag. the most socially distanced camping experience you could wish for. to be absolutely clear, i didn't

spend the whole night here. i could not face it. although it is an option, you can spend a few hours, they will even lower you down a meal to enjoy. something which a few people would have predicted becoming popular this year, but that is what has happened. many businesses are really having to adapt to try to work with the restrictions, they seem to be ever—changing, we have just heard about new travel restrictions to wales. if businesses can offer something a bit different, thatis can offer something a bit different, that is an option. visit britain has been looking at other research and it suggests only one in ten people intend to do an overnight uk domestic state in october and between november and march it is thought only one in five people intend to do that —— domestic stay. that will have a huge impact on domestic results. many would be going away at half term and

christmas. that is set to change. one online directory of quirky places to stay such as lighthouses, houseboats, they had seen a doubling in the number of inquiries this year. if you can do it unusually, while adhering to the rules, the demand is certainly there. quick question, which parts of you are actually tethered at this moment in time? good question. i am tethered here, this canopy is tethered here, this canopy is tethered as well, it is very safe. which parts of you physically? when i saw it, i was like, oh, my goodness. to me? a harness on around here, harness here, completely tethered, we are very safe. when you saw me being lower down, that is probably the most complicated bit. when you are here, pretty co mforta ble, when you are here, pretty comfortable, you can look at, enjoy the views, take in this

extraordinary site, jurassic coast, beautiful portland stone coming from the quarry, used to make st paul's cathedral. historic, beautifularea, fabulous place to enjoy. an amazing picture. hopefully tim cannot hear us. did you think one end was slightly lower? don't say that! you're watching bbc breakfast.

hello, good morning. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. northern leaders hold talks with downing street this morning — about whether lancashire and greater manchester should join liverpool in the highest tier of coronavirus restrictions. meanwhile, london's mayor warns the city could move to the second highest tier of restrictions this week. the government says it is assessing all risks it's a balancing of two halves, the harm of the virus and what it's doing and having to bring it back under control and the harm of a national lockdown, where you would have to impact into a much greater way the economy and, of course, livelihoods and health, as well. let us know your thoughts — do you think some of the areas
