into their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. we're told the home of the health minister 0livier veran pictured here on the left was one of them. according to french media, european union leaders have agreed the prime ministerjean castex — to keep talking to britain pictured on the right — to get a new trade agreement is also under investigation, as well as his predeccessor "in the coming weeks". that decision came at the summit and a former health minister. which had originally been the investigation centres pegged as the deadline on alleged criminal negligence by the government — something it strongly denies. for sealing that deal. here's the prime minister earlier. the two sides are still too far apart for that to happen — translation: each of you will but there appears still a will understand that it's not for me to make comments or decisions made to get it done. by judicial authorities. absolutely not. will be great if they are able to however, i can respond to your other come to an agreement. it would be crazy for the outside world oif the eu and uk did not question on the trust i have come to an agreement. with covid—19 having such a devastating impact on society and on the economies of the united kingdom and across europe obviously leaders will not want to hit for veren who is present here. citizens with a shock. inside the room, 27 leaders know that it is absolute were around the table. of course, i need to call of course borisjohnson to mind that on the judicial wasn‘t there — the uk left component which is unknown to me, he the eu earlier this year. enjoys total presumption of innocence. among the 27, ireland he has been on the job for several and the netherlands — who we heard from just now —

months morning noon, are considered fairly sympathetic evening, night, weekends i bear to the uk‘s position. other leaders are witness to it before you. taking a harder line. he has always at the forefront. this deal cannot be made at any always at the forefront, always. price. if the conditions are not met, it is possible that we will not he's making use of all of his time and great have a deal. we are prepared for competence. that. paris is ready. and he is an asset to our country to deal this health we‘ll hear more from country that confronts us. mr macron in a moment. for more, here's hugh first let‘s look at how we got here. schofield in paris. today‘s summit is just one these office and how milestone in a long process. searchers are part the bbc‘s reality check team has pulled together this timeline.the current phase began almost a year of an investigation which was ago — in december 2019 when, launched back injuly by the court ofjustice over the republic. after months of parliamentary deadlock, borisjohnson won a huge which is the only body majority with the electoral slogan in france looking ‘get brexit done.‘ into alleged mr mead is carried out little more than a month later — on january 31st by ministers in the course of their this year the uk was out — duty. out of the eu and its political institutions, but straight and that investigation was set up into a transition period where all the rules following complete suits filed by and regulations stayed the same. talks on a future trading concerned citizens, doctors, relationship with the eu began relatives of victims of covid and so in march covering trade, on who'd said that they believed security, fishing, data, that government was responsible for dispute resolution and much more. stop that senior officials, health the negotiations rumbled on — without much progress — officials were responsible in some through the spring and the summer.

chris morris picks up way for incompetence and possibly the story from there. criminal incompetence in their handling of covid. by september, it was more they would point to things than clear what the main sticking points were, for example, like the lack preventing the emergence of even a basic trade deal — of masks, the lack of tests. state aid or governemnt subsidies masks we know stocks a basic trade deal — of mask have been state aid or government subsidies destroyed in the years for business, fisheries and governance, how to police any leading up to 2020. deal in the future. why did that happen? were health staffs exposed and then the stakes were raised. in the hospital to unnecessary risk? for the people wanting on september 7th boris these complaints, these legal suits, the answer is yes. johnson set a deadline of october 15th for reaching a deal orfocusing on no deal. on september 8th the government published its internal market bill and the government had which it admitted would break knowingly in their view, international law by overriding made mistakes and failed to take agreements about northern ireland steps which were necessary. in the brexit divorce deal. it's a long, long way and on september 23rd, before this goes anywhere. the government announced it may go absolutely nowhere. lorry drivers would need a permit to enter kent but the complaints were filed, after the transition period ends, the court is taken them seriously. and warned of a worst case scenario of queues of 7000 lorries waiting last night france announced to cross the channel. drastic new measures to contain the virus — and now we‘ve reached october, reimposing a state of health with the time for negotiations emergency and introducing new night almost at an end. time curfews in major cities. and today we heard more of what that means in practical terms.

here's the prime minister again. october the translation: since the entire country will now be placed in a state of health emergency, these on september the 18th, they publish rules which will apply everywhere that internal market bill which the said would are as follows, all private parties such as weddings or student parties held in party halls, multipurpose which it admitted would break international law by overriding hall or any other establishment open agreements about northern ireland in the brexit divorce deal. and on september 23rd, to the public will be prohibited. the government announced lorry drivers would need so, curfews will come into force a permit to enter kent after the transition period ends, in paris and eight other and warned of a worst case scenario cities from saturday — of queues of 7000 lorries waiting affecting 22 million people. to cross the channel. and now we‘ve reached october, they'll run daily from 9pm to 6am. with the time for negotiations almost at an end. and more than 12,000 police officers will enforce them. chris mentioned several this is the reaction subjects that have proved heavy going in the talks. of the mayor of paris. one in particular has been translation: curfew identified as the biggest sticking point by both the uk and — measures were announced on the eu side — by france. yesterday as the mayor here‘s president macron again. of paris, i will go along with the decision by the government because i i‘m going to be very clear here. we don't want to add to the crisis and the chaos and so on. know there is many things that still having said that, i hope that these measures need to be discussed, and problems i

will prove efficient in slowing the epidemic down. have not found a solution. fishing, next, the czech republic, which has the highest infection rate in europe. no circumstances will our fishermen more than 2,600 patients be sacrificed for brexit. the question of who gets to fish are in hospital with coronavirus, in british waters after brexit that figure has doubled in 11 days. has always been contentious. at the moment, and that's putting the seas around britain a strain on hospitals. are termed its "exclusive economic this one is in pri—bram. zone" — but they form part of common eu waters, we're told officials are building make—shift facilities so boats from across the eu with 500 extra beds. can fish there. help is coming from outside of the czech republic too. bavaria in neighboroughing germany the current arrangement is based on country quotas has offered to take some which haven‘t changed for decades. intensive care patients. but with brexit that arrangement won‘t exist anymore — the bavarian state premier so everything is up for negotiation. and even though fishing is a comparatively small industry, it‘s one that had this warning, carries political weight. and tempers are already high. these images show french fishing next — italy. boats appearing to obstruct in the past half an hour british boats off the coast the southern region campania has of normany, firing a flare at them and escoting them out of the area. announced its shutting schools until the end of october to curb infections. in the past 24—hours italy has our europe editor katya adler is in brussels. recorded more than 8,800 cases — how far is rest of eu more than 100 were in campania. willing to go to support the netherlands is in its france on fishing? first day of a month

long partial lockdown. but it's what happened when bars and restaurants were shutting last night that has been getting attention. the bbc‘s anna holligan was there. last orders have actually been you mean, how the eu is perceived in called here in the hague. people are just taking the future after these negotiations? the opportunity to spend the outcome of these negotiations a few final moments inside bars and restaurants before they closed reflect how it sees its future? for at least four weeks. the outcome of these negotiations reflect how it sees its future ?|j the outcome of these negotiations reflect how it sees its future? i do not think that is the main future of watching some of the the eu, to be quite honest. its main scenes just before. focus is quite practical. it is a you can see why the large economically powerful government is targeting neighbour now and the united kingdom the hospitality industry. which angela merkel, the chancellor of germany has said over and over even though many feel again, will be a competitor on the it's unfair and too generic. eu doorstep and so the eu is concerned about that and it is long there are cases like this which suggest it could just make all the difference. been concerned about what it said would be the potentialfor the uk from tonight bars, restaurants, cafes close completely. with its new—found sovereignty, to they can serve takeaways. cut lots of regulations and red tape shops aren't allowed to sell alcohol after eight o'clock in the evening. people are advised and the businesses for example, to work from home, use

public transport only environmental legislations, labour for essential purposes. the opposition has been more legislation, how much governments critical than ever of the dutch are allowed to proper businesses or government approach. promote national businesses and if asking why are the numbers they give the uk after brexit, rising so rapidly here in the netherlands compared really good access to the single to elsewhere in the world? market, but they don‘t have in the if these measures don't have the desired expense of regulations and effect within two weeks there will constraints, then those uk be in assessment and if this isn't businesses could undercut eu businesses could undercut eu businesses in their own single working then the dutch health market and that largely is the focus minister has said they are prepared to go to a full lockdown situation. of these discussions. and i would challenge there, the idea that fish next — england. is the most difficult issue is one more than half the population of the most difficult issues, but are facing tougher restrictions this the eu knows it needs to compromise weekend with several parts of the country — including london, when it comes to fish want to do it moving to a higher covid alert level. here's the health secretary because they know the uk is going to matt hancock on why. compromise that the sum agreed we must take firm and balanced principles when it comes to this decisions to keep this virus under competition regulations us talking control. about. but as with the eu is fundamental. and when they focus on that with the uk, yes, you are this is the only way to protect lives and livelihoods. right, there is a wider view here and we must act now. which, if they give the uk zero delayed action means more tariffs, zero quotes to access the

single market, something they have not given any other country, but deaths from covid, it they let the uk do that without any of the rules and regulations, not means more non covid deaths and it only will that be bad for the eu means more economic pain later. businesses, but he will be back to because the virus comes down slower than it goes up. the eu cost plus reputation. because from slower than it goes up. saturday close to 9 million other countries with which as a people trade deal who are not member states from saturday close to 9 million people from london will not be able to visit outside of each other‘s will say, if you take can have that, we wa nt will say, if you take can have that, we want to rip up our trade deal and homes. some areas of the capital are definitely rising. some areas of the capital start again. member states within are definitely rising. the european union such as hungary and london's mayor sadiq khan had been pushing for tougher and poland the do not like all the restrictions in the city. this was his warning earlier. rules and regulations can say, if a the later we take the necessary nonmember state does not dictate to steps to slow the spread of the virus the more severe these the rules, why should we member states have to keep to those rules. steps will have to be and the longer they will have to last you see how that would be very in order to try and drive down infection rates. complicated. the main focus is on no matter how much some people getting the deal with the uk and angela merkel is looking at the more want to pretend otherwise geopolitical vision here, which is, we do not want a horrible no deal scenario from the end of the uk, not and bury their heads in the sand, the truth just for economic reasons, but also is that the health crisis because you have no idea what is are inextricably linked. going to be happening in washington. that's why getting the virus under we do not really know what‘s control is the only way we can both happening in russia, we don‘t really

protect lives and our economy. know what is happening in china, so there is simply no other option. this is the time to keep our friends closer. so, from her perspective, she regrets brexit but if the taste london will be moving from the first outcome and they have been out since tear to the second tier. greater the end of january, outcome and they have been out since the end ofjanuary, the outcome and they have been out since the end of january, the they want to manchester is trying to fend off keep it as close as possible and if some to make the case to move from there is no deal will be very acrimonious. for the moment, yes you second tier 230 a. leaders they have got fishing inc. at this competition rejected the governments plan to regulations come you got the idea of move the region into this highest a this will be police, two sites are alert level. have a listen to the mayor of greater manchester on why. quite farapart in have a listen to the mayor a this will be police, two sites are quite far apart in that, but the of greater manchester on why. feeling is that a deal is very much still possible and a lot closer to it is wrong to place some of the poorest parts of england in a the end of the either side would‘ve punishing lockdown without proper support for the people and liked, but it is not 100% guaranteed businesses affected. to do so will result because compromise is needed on both in certain hardship, job sides, even though each side, as we losses, business failure. have said so often, makes to point the finger at the other one and say it will cause harm it is up to you to make this deal in a different way to work into eu leaders have repeated people's mental health and it's not that sentiment again tonight towards the uk. you allude to the fact that certain to control the virus. last night the deputy chief medical this going later in the year and some would‘ve liked. what is the officer told greater manchester leavers that to bring the infection rate downs any regional lockdown real deadline, is there one? there

would require widespread closures isa way beyond pubs to stand any real real deadline, is there one? there is a very real deadline, the 31st of chance of working. december because as we have said, and that would have to be done the detail of the eu on the 31st of in tandem with other neighbouring regions. january, but it stayed treading water, even though it was left in and even then it would not practical terms, the uk is still be certain to work. like a member state, it pays into but here's the point, the eu budget and it is a member of the eu budget and it is a member of the single market in the eu customs union. all of that legally comes to the government is an end on the 31st of december and thatis an end on the 31st of december and that is the absolute deadline. if a not giving city regions deal is going to be reached, asked like ours in the liverpool city region the necessary financial me don‘t enough time for the backing for full lockdowns of that european parliament to ratify the kind. greater manchester deal because it is a narrow dealing is currently tier 3. you do not need the national —2 moving it to the highest alert parliament of the eu countries level means pubs would shut — ratify it, it‘s the european and different households wouldn't be parliament and the uk parliament as able to meet up. here's iain watson on where this well. so, the minimum time for that leaves the government now. is necessary, so yes, borisjohnson said that today should be the it is that government that wants to deadline. michel barnier said that the end of this mus should be the ta ke it is that government that wants to take a regional approach to lockdown and wants to act in areas where the deadline. now, people are talking about the end of november even at virus is most prevalent. and try to the beginning of december, so sit soften up the mps from greater tight. thank you very much indeed, manchester yesterday because they have a medical briefing with one of thatis tight. thank you very much indeed, that is our europe editor life at us

from brussels. the stars of the press conferences but people are saying ok we know the virus is going up but crucially it was the scientific advisers themselves that said closing they ignored an emergency decree and hospitality for example would only have a marginal impact on the virus. protesters are demanding the resignation of the prime minister so what has been interesting is an who is a former chief who was greater manchester area, a political consensus is forming between the appointed as premier after controversial elections last year. liber mail and some of the regions the protesters also want a rewrite of the constitution, these conservative mps and conservative amendments in recent years have been local government leaders as well that the government should not be disputed as well as demanding and into the harassment of state imposing on more serious critics. so a substantial list and restrictions and higher areas on since august, the changes have greater manchester in this way. so included reforms the monarchy which there's that push for a more generous financial package in a is particularly sensitive forthcoming meeting with downing entitlement. criticism of the street this morning for the top but there is also some concern about the monarchy is punishable by a long prison sentences. the strategic restrictions themselves and whether that would further damage the economy. stability institute, suspecting that that would further damage the economy. this could threaten the power of the well, the latest test and trace figures for england have type monarchy. massive raising. this recorded their highest weekly number

since the system launched in may. almost 90,000 people tested positive in the week to the 7th of october. would not resolve the issue, they that's a 64% increase on the previous week. here's the bbc‘s head feel dissatisfied, disenfranchised, but the most up feel that they have of statistics robert cuffe. been left out of the democratic process and anything more than that, testing turnaround times are getting it is also shorter. so last weekjust over a representing the people‘s quest to quarter of people who went to a walk—in centre or a drive—through bea got their test results back within representing the people‘s quest to be a political state, whether it is 25 hours. this week's is gone from just over a quarter to almost a 3rd. for development opportunities, but more than that, it is the uprise of -- 24. just over a quarter to almost a 3rd. —— 24. near the height of do not merely by moving in the right people that actually had access to direction. and when it comes to contact racing, this extra lot of the process itself. this is the first time the royal family would people come into the system they are still reaching about the poor same have to deal with the protesters, proportionjust over still reaching about the poor same but also the fact that this is a proportion just over three quarters of people are getting reached and real possibility that they may have asked for their contacts. that seems to let go of power. which they have to be holding up well. that's been holding onto for so long. despite the addition of people you may recall results were temporarily jonathon head was held up by a spreadsheet era. they with the protesters in bagkok today we re held up by a spreadsheet era. they were added into the system to and it seems to be holding up there. not as their numbers built, the push forward against the police were

many across europe believe the end to these restrictions will only unsure how tough they could be with really co m e this youthful crowd. with one to these restrictions will only really come with an effective vaccine for covid—19. while the whole world waits for that china has already approved a vaccine for search, they occupied the entire emergency or military use. and russia has approved not one but two of them. the second vaccine is intersection. at this point, the called epi that corona. it's completed its ea rly—stage police are pushed back against the called epi that corona. it's completed its early—stage test but hasn't yet been subject to large ravens, leaping over to escape the trials as are required in europe and pressure and even thinking some protesters who would help them. this us. you may have seen last month russia started the widescale testing first day of the protest ban was not going well for the authorities. one sputnik five. russia started the widescale testing sputnikfive. and russia russia started the widescale testing sputnik five. and russia and russia started the widescale testing sputnikfive. and russia and china are between limited use without waiting to see the result of phase three trials was up something that of the few leaders to escape arrest, scientists warn carries serious then let the crowd in the chant of risk. elsewhere in the world, 11 vaccines are in stage three trials we are not afraid. like a lot of where each vaccine will be tested on at least 30,000 volunteers. people here, he believes what our moscow correspondnet happens next largely depends on the sarah rainsford has more on russia's efforts. king. of course i have been questions and

because they're so slow behind those trials. in the case of the first vaccine and has now done that and i cannot answer that easily. would publish in the lancet medical like his majesty to adjust himself, we do not want to overthrow his magazine. the second vaccine, second institution, but in the future, we corona vaccine the information from the phase two trials have not been wa nt institution, but in the future, we want the monarchy to live in harmony with the people. we could hear made public. because questions still exist. it is interesting in terms of jonathan in that report but we cannot hear the sound of the crowd the public mood here. a lot of and the people he was referencing. people are quite sceptical, a lot of my and the people he was referencing. people are quite sceptical, a lot of people in surveys have suggested my apologies, but we heard jonathan‘s analysis of the same. we that they would not be willing to have the vaccine just yet. they are will turn our attention to this, the rather dubious about its, how man who filmed encounter with a this effective it could be. or how safe it is. interesting though there has cougar. been a big push by officials here. many people saying publicly that they have had the vaccine. most famously president putin his own daughter he and ours had have the first sputnik vaccine. schools in uganda have opened for final year students, seven months after all education now to the us election. institutions in the country the democrats' vice—presidential were closed because of the pandemic. the schools were required to put candidate kamala harris has in place measures to stop the spread of the virus, before they could begin lessons. suspended travelling until sunday after her communications director the bbc‘s patience atuhaire

tested positive for covid 19. reports from kampala. the children here have been required the biden campaign says another to go through registration. the member of senator harris‘ campaign has also tested positive. temperature is written down in the the better news for them is that next of kin and where there reside neither kamala harris orjoe biden or recorded. the schools are have come into contact with either required to put in place handwashing indivdual in the last 48 hours. anthony zurcher, washington. and temperature checking facilities and temperature checking facilities and also to ensure that the children maintain physical distance and class and around the school. but the good news that the two figureheads of the campaign have not been close minister of education process was delayed and in some areas, more than to these people but nonetheless half the schools have been checked surely a blow. it definitely is concerning. the question is whether for cove rt the virus will spread to anyone else half the schools have been checked for covert guidance, and they were in the campaign. you remember the stopped from reopening. and white houses had to deal with this. institutions can only run as day or so there campaign staff and the president himself but the white boarding schools. many around the house was somewhat cavalier about area and across the country, they their preventative measures. so this normally run both sections will be a real test to see if the concurrently. but officials want to biting campaigns efforts on who's wearing a mask as a say, they've avoid the children coming to home been having social distancing is every morning and mixing up with those who reside at school. students whether those efforts will prevent the kind of spread that the white have mixed feelings about how things out dealt with the past we can have. will operate day to day.

have mixed feelings about how things will operate day to daylj have mixed feelings about how things also the town house coming up do you will operate day to day. i am happy have two tvs you're going to need but i am scared. i‘m scared that them right? i am getting need them. going back to school, i make a long tonight of course i was supposed to be the second debate betweenjoe biden and donald trump in a town distance and i see the people that hall format. they are both supposed to be in miami. donald trump backed come here. i do not know if they out after saying, after being told haveit come here. i do not know if they have it or they don‘t. and some of it was a virtual debate wherewith them do not have masks. ifi am not they will both be connected via remote video. so instead joe biden is having a town hall forum on 1's careful, i could get covid—19. network here in the us and philadelphia, donald trump is having them do not have masks. ifi am not careful, i could get covid—19m them do not have masks. ifi am not careful, i could get covid-19. it is a natural phase. we would sit another one on another network and miami. you will have to sit there and watch both of them with an eye ball and watch both of them with an eyeball on each. but it will be the together and this is the new normal, first chance donald trump has at we have to move on and find ways of least to try and wash some of the a new normal life. bad taste out of american voters miles that he may have left after his very aggressive performance in this is outside source live the head—to—head debate just his very aggressive performance in the head—to—head debatejust two weeks ago. don't go anywhere. were from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? coming back to ina in a moment. another story in the us that continues to flare—up concerns how

social media platforms deal more than 30,000 infections were with content they feel recorded in the past day and earlier is incorrect or inappropriate. french police raided the homes of the issue is back because of twitter and facebook‘s decisions the health minister and other senior officials as part of an to restricting access to this story in the new york post. investigation into their handling of the pandemic. it's a big deal as it's the first time a social media company has every week, we produce a video proactively blocked an article for the bbc news website that looks from a major mainstream news organisation. in depth at one of the main stories the ny post is a newspaper of the week. this week, again, we‘re turning to covid19. and website owned by rupert murdoch. europe is struggling to contain covid19. the story in question was provided infections are increasing. so are restrictions. to the post by donald trump's and the dutch prime minister says — lawyer rudy giuliani — it‘s the only way, and it alleges a direct link we have to be stricter. betweenjoe biden and his son's but is it the only way? one country has offered business dealings in ukraine. it includes a cache of emails and other data purportedly an alternative. from a laptop owned by hunter biden but which was discovered in. thinks we didn‘t, basically, they did not do it right in the the new a repair shop in delaware. beginning, but basically they got it there are a number of right. holes in the story... which is why twitter and facebook are both restricting so is sweden getting it right? how the story is shared. this is one of the big questions of the pandemic. hundreds of articles have twitter says it took the action been devoted to it — with wildly different conclusions. time‘s latest analysis says the swedish response is a disaster. because ‘the images contained it shouldn‘t be a model for the rest of the world. but look at this from

the who in late september. "we must recognise that sweden, at the moment, has avoided white house press secretary the increase that‘s been seen kayleigh mcenany had her twitter in some of western europe. we will be very keen on hearing more from the swedish account suspended for sharing the article is saying approach." well what is the swedish approach? this is censorship. donald trump also turned put simply — when many countries went into lockdown in march, sweden didn‘t. instead it pursued voluntary to at his rally in iowa last night. social distancing. it encouraged a range of things, kaylee, she's so great. she's working from home, avoiding public transport, incredible. they close down her table service in bars. account. she's the white house press and that advice rested on the secretary. because she reporting the assumption people feel like this. truth. because she reporting the truth. then this interesting — we in sweden trust the authorities twitter ceo jack dorsey tweeted that it was ‘unacceptable' and if the authorities say stay at for the platform to block users home, please and work from home, we do that. and so, they did not need so he's admitting they got it wrong. to see you have to go into lockdown. marianna spring, the bbc‘s sweden‘s calculation is that people will social distance effectively if the message disinformation reporter— is simple, credible and consistent. also, the swedish approach doesn‘t include masks — officials argue they give people false confidence which undermines one commentator saying the tech social distancing. platforms are flailing in front of and all of this is designed to move this issue. they do seem to be sweden towards a goal that it shares

working out just this issue. they do seem to be working outjust what this issue. they do seem to be with other european countries working out just what to do. definitely, there's increasing — how to reduce contacts pressure late—night pressure on between people. you‘ll hear this referenced social media sites to tackle misinformation on the build up tackle misinformation on the build up to the election. hence why we see again and again. in the number of tweets both from trump and bite this campaigns being the number of social contacts and labelled in recent weeks. this is a travel movements must be drastically whole different thing, this is a reduced. if during the six weeks to decision to limit the spread of main befall the curfew and act effectively, that is the point in strea m which we can progressively start to up which we can progressively start to up again. decision to limit the spread of main stream news articles which makes a reduce contacts and you reduce number of allegations which people are questioning but is nonetheless the risk of transmision. seen as are questioning but is nonetheless seen as a step forward in what twitter and facebook decide to do. and relevant to that is the role of the superspreader. facebooks action was less surprising it‘s thought most covid infections because they tend to de—prioritize are transmitted by around 10—20% stories until they been checked by third fact checkers and then they of people who have it. allow them to be shared more widely. this danish epidemiologist argues where is decision to label this link sweden understood this. if the lockdown would be too much, with pop—up which essentially says you need to look at this super this could be harmful, don't click on it was taken very badly by eight spreader and limit them and that is basically what sweden did. the most number of republican supporters was top—notch as those ardent pro—trump visible, the only really supporters but actually more intervention that they did was the moderate republicans who felt like max carriage was 50. this was twitter and facebook overstepping their mark. twitter

later went on to explain that this was to do with privacy. they felt that the article included details so that‘s sweden‘s approach. which breach their terms in terms of and assess it we need to look at how sharing private contact details. the numbers compare. also this was about hacking. and a i‘m going to focus concern that this information have on three measures. been obtained through hacking and first, sweden‘s total deaths per capita they don't allow that kind of is the 15th highest in the world — information to be shared on the higher than most major platform. but they do allow new european nations. second, when it come total number sites to report on hacking. that of cases per capita, again explains the concern from a both norway and the uk have lower figures than sweden. lot of commentators. when we talked but spain and france have higher. about hacking in the past with and third, the infection rate. sweden has so far avoided an autumn surge — but its infection rate reference to dis— information is higher than norway and germany — there's been a foreign dimension to and it‘s rising. it. is there a foreign dimension to this all feels a long way the story? at the moment we can't from the success story some would describe. a nswer the story? at the moment we can't and there are other issues too. answer that question. we don't know. some critics argue the whole thing and that is the case with a number is actually a misjudged plan to achieve herd immunity — of disinformation campaigns. it is something that‘s strongly denied. something we know has happened in also, sweden‘s approach has relied on thousands of vulnerable the past. russian actors have been people shielding themselves involved in hacking operations which while others live under lighter restrictions. and sweden‘s number of deaths was in part driven have produced information that by a failure to properly people fear could have interfered or protect care homes. but the man who devised sweden‘s impacted voters and the election. i approach thinks, in the long—term, it will work. think that explains the knee jerk reaction from twitter. but nonetheless you can see that this

has led to another escalation in this battle not only between social and parts, me in sweden have had the media sites and disinformation on the platform but between social same recommendations and general media sites and trump specifically advice. and they still apply. i between twitter and trump. it will think he creates a sense of security between twitter and trump. it will be interesting to see the weeks ahead how they continue. twitter has a long—term perspective and it is easier to follow. apologise in this incident but where consistent, long—term, consensual — do they draw the line and what this is sweden‘s mantra. and at the heart of that is responsibility do they have when it a commitment to the social contract. comes to tech tackling clinical a contract that requires trust between people and national decision makers. disinformation in particular? good you could argue without it, any covid strategy will to have your view as ever. struggle. now, as we‘ve seen, there‘s good to have your view as ever. nothing in the data to show it's important to say the biden sweden is definitely campaign denies joe biden getting it right. but this emphasis on trust ever met with the ukrainian and consensus feels relevant executive but it's already as european governments, being used as political capital by donald trump. once again, change the rules he described the new york post as a ‘very fine newspaper‘ and said by which people are living. this at that rally in iowa. now we can see clearly that biden is a corrupt politician who shouldn't even be allowed to run for the presidency. you may have seen these pictures today — back to anthony. they‘ve gone viral. and they‘re pretty terrifying. anthony, these stories become so complex, so multifaceted i sometimes

struggle to work out what their political impactors. if you remember four years ago donald trump leaned heavily into wiki wikipedia is this is what happened when a utah man kyle burgess bumped revelations about hillary clinton‘s into a cougar and her cubs on a run. e—mails and democratic e—mails to paint hillary clinton as corrupt. as he started filming as the cat confronted him — and started pursuing him. the old and global interest. i think he‘s trying to reprise that again. this time telling, talking aboutjoe this chase lasted six long minutes — biden and his sons lobby and ending only when mr burgess threw a rock at the cat. connections and saying that his son he took this footage moments later. influenced joe biden said decisions on ukraine. the documents in this new york post article, we don‘t know 0k. their exact source. they aren‘t even a smoking gun in his far as they ok. yeah, so that does happen. give evidence thatjoe biden even and we can speak to kyle burgess now. communicated with any of hunter tell us what happened ? bidens ukrainian contacts. but donald trump is again trying to use at the moment, we cannot get in this to paintjoe biden as corrupt. we are only two and a half, three touch with them. weeks from the election. it‘s a little late for this to have an impact. it‘s really because the american public doesn‘t seem to be that interested in this story over the course of the past few months.

they are much more interested in nigeria‘s military says it‘s ready donald trump handling of to step in to maintain law and order in the country after more coronavirus. and the economy. so i than a week of protests went down play the impact of this against police brutality. the warning came as protesters were attacked with machetes u nless went down play the impact of this unless there are more revelations to by unidentified men in abuja. come. how does rudy giuliani fit these are the latest pictures from the capital — they show men approaching protesters into all this? rudy giuliani, former with sticks, and a car belonging to one of the protesters reportedly smashed by a machete. since the protests started at least mayor of new york, among some ——. ten people have died and hundreds more injured after an initial harsh response by police. the protests have focused mainly on a notorious police unit called the special anti—robbery squad, known as sars. demonstrators have long accused it of beatings, that‘s a shame just as anthony was killings and extortion. about to tell me and all of you all to try and quell the protests, the head of nigeria‘s police about to tell me and all of you all about really giuliani is role his force announced on sunday he would dissolve sars and replace it with a new unit. line froze. sorry about that. as anthony was explaining this much i but activists say this isn‘t enough to reform the police don‘t really giuliani as donald and the protests continue. trumps personal lawyer but that‘s a the military have now broad term to be honest. he becomes released a statement. involved in lots of different translation: dimension of mr trumps affairs as president. and often is out the the nigerian army has its loyalty front in the media. in this place in and commitment to the the story but also appearing in the commander—in—chief of the armed media making the case for the forces of the federal republic of

president and i wouldn‘t be surprised if we didn‘t see quite a nigeria, and the constitution of the lot more of him in the coming weeks country. the nigerian army is ready as the trump administration gears up. they are in mind we are seeing to fully support the civil authority that with this new york post story. in whatever capacity to maintain law the trump administration has to and order and deal with any situation decisively. shift something here. by any measure donald trump is down in the polls. well the military itself has been accused repeatedly of human national polls aren‘t particularly rights abuses in recent years — releva nt national polls aren‘t particularly relevant in the us election because something it denies. of the way the electoral college works will stop you need to win the meanwhile the authorities have now banned all forms big swing states petrilli florida, of street protests in abuja, claiming they have violated public safety protocols ohio states like this. our focus on covid—19 and are endangering should be on those where the polls the lives of residents. bbc‘s is‘haq khalid, abuja. are closer but nonetheless even when you factor in the electoral college, the polls are not great for donald here are some of the interview. when trump at the moment. so he needs high—impact, he needs the town hall this evening for the top you think i was appointed, and organise stories like this in the new york training. i had to write a code of post and so on. when be surprised if we see more high—profile moves by the trump campaign in the new next conduct. show people, the way and few weeks to move the dial. thanks to anthony for that even though we lost him early for top and a couple of minutes on outside source we will

turn to brexit and the protests in how not to misuse their powers. what about the misconduct reports? very nigeria. sad. ifeel very guilty. to operate hello. under the right direction, to hope that it under the right direction, to hope thatitis under the right direction, to hope that it is not been diverted, to collect their properties and even killing the innocent people. that is after such a wet start to the month, not what, that is not the source the middle of it is delivering something relatively drier, quieter with high—pressure close that i want. i heard it in a was in by threatening cloud and also bit of sunshine of the london area a few shows moving through today. even though high—pressure is close by, it is certainly not dry everywhere, the flow of air around the high pressure coming in from the northeast, tea rs. that is a cool direction but the temperatures are a few degrees below average for the time the situation with covid—19 becomes of year and on that flow of air, ever more serious and today, france there‘s quite a bit of cloud coming confirmed over 30,000 new cases in and a few of these showers around possible just within a 24 hour period and i was up about anywhere overnight. so, mainly towards the east over 8000 from the day before. all but not exclusively so, to the west of the uk, this is where we are likely the stress recovered to the bbc‘s to see more in the way news apps and very soon. goodbye.

of prolonged clear spells, although again the odd shower cannot be ruled out but if you are seeing some prolonged clear spells overnight, temperatures may end up being a little bit lower than this in the west, lying perhaps a few spots low enough for a touch of frost going into the morning, maybe one or two mist and fog patches. lion‘s share of the cloud will be towards the east, delivering a few showers and some of these creep a little bit further west as we go through the day, so nowhere can be guaranteed to be completely dry. in terms of sunshine, hello. after such a wet start to the month, northern england made quite well in the afternoon in south wales the middle of it is delivering and southwest england and temperatures still something relatively drier, quieter with high—pressure close around ten to 14 celsius. by threatening cloud and also bit 14 for most of us fall in southwest england and temperatures of sunshine of the london area a few still around ten to 14 celsius. shows moving through today. 14 for most of us falling a few even though high—pressure is close degrees short on that. by, it is certainly not dry and going into the weekend, there‘s looks to be a lot of cloud everywhere, the flow of air around the high pressure coming one round, quick breeze with the cloud is the biggest, in from the northeast, you can get a light shower that is a cool direction but the temperatures are a few with the few light rain or drizzle, degrees below average for the time but a few bursts of sunshine of year and on that flow of air, and possibly times and sunday there‘s quite a bit of cloud coming we change the day, we haven‘t really changed the weather, in and a few of these showers just more of the same and it may be around possible just by sunday a few degrees about anywhere overnight. so, mainly towards the east cooler in scotland and it could be but not exclusively so, to the west of the uk,

some outbreaks of ranges this is where we are likely edging towards the northern most parts of scotland as we go to see more in the way of prolonged clear spells, to the day and that is ahead although again the odd shower cannot of a significant weather change be ruled out but if you are seeing coming up next week as we bring low some prolonged clear spells pressure back across the uk and, overnight, temperatures may end up of course, that not only being a little bit lower than this in the west, will the wind pick up at times lying perhaps a few spots low enough and there could be some rain for a touch of frost coming back to avoid that. going into the morning, at some stage of next week. maybe one or two mist and fog patches. still picking out a few locations lion‘s share of the cloud here, just to give you a flavour will be towards the east, of what is on the way next week, delivering a few showers and some of these creep a little bit further temperatures may go up a couple few west as we go through the day, degrees before cooling off later so nowhere can be guaranteed in the week but most significantly, 00:28:30,863 --> 2147483051:51:00,146 the return of some 2147483051:51:00,146 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 rain for all of us. to be completely dry. in terms of sunshine, northern england made quite well in the afternoon in south wales and southwest england and temperatures still around ten to 14 celsius. 14 for most of us fall in southwest england and temperatures still around ten to 14 celsius. 14 for most of us falling a few degrees short on that. and going into the weekend, there‘s looks to be a lot of cloud one round, quick breeze with the cloud is the biggest, you can get a light shower with the few light rain or drizzle, but a few bursts of sunshine and possibly times and sunday

we change the day, we haven‘t really changed the weather, just more of the same and it may be by sunday a few degrees cooler in scotland and it could be some outbreaks of ranges edging towards the northern most parts of scotland as we go to the day and that is ahead of a significant weather change coming up next week as we bring low pressure back across the uk and, of course, that not only will the wind pick up at times and there could be some rain coming back to avoid that at some stage of next week. still picking out a few locations here, just to give you a flavour of what is on the way next week, temperatures may go up a couple few degrees before cooling off later in the week but most significantly, the return of some rain for all of us.
