along with hospitality venues. we are already rolling out. schools have an extended half term. and to those amongst you who may not there is, though, frustration. we have adhered to everything, have supported labour before, we have done everything we should. we put all our hygiene and the results tell me practices in place. but yet we still come away feeling punished. there were a few of you... at the royal liverpool hospital staff believe these tougher laughter restrictions in their city and others are the only answer. to you — to you, i say thank you. this time last month the trust was looking after 33 we will not take your patients with covid. support for granted. today that figure stands at more than 300. and i can promise you we will be we are overwhelmed, a party that governs and it's not winter. it's not even winter yet. for every new zealander. and look at us. you know, it'sjust really tiring the police officer who was poisoned in the salisbury novichok and really upsetting. attack is leaving the force. ensuring hospitals can cope in the weeks and months ahead is why detective sergeant nick bailey the government says these restrictions are necessary, was contaminated with the nerve to control the spread of the virus agent at the home of sergei and ultimately, save lives. daniela relph, bbc news. and yulia skripal, where it had been sprayed on a door handle. but, after returning to duty last year, he's tweeted that he's as we've heard there "had to admit defeat". are conflicting reports as to whether number 10 and local jon donnison reports. politica ns in greater manchester will resume talks about changing detective sergeant nick bailey has the area's coronavirus alert level

to very high. been a police officer for 18 years, but his life has not been the same boris johnson has already warned since the salisbury attack. he would impose the toughest restrictions on the area as the investigation began, without the consent of local he was one of the first officers authorities, who are calling for greater financial help to visit the home of sergei skripal, for businesses. the main target of the our correspondent philip norton poisoning operation. is in manchester for us. it's not entirely clear how detective sergeant bailey this is a city still waiting to hear became contaminated, but the nerve agent had been what is to be decided and of course sprayed on a doorhandle. within hours, he began thatis what is to be decided and of course that is in the hands of the to fall seriously ill. politicians both here and in london. he ended up in intensive care. having a look around here a lot of once i'd come back from the house, people are out having a night out the skripals' house, and now going home because of course my pupils were like pin pricks. the pub such as shut. you don't have to go farfrom and i was quite sweaty and hot. the pub such as shut. you don't have to go far from here to find out that at the time, i put that down yet again life is very different. to being tired and stressed. good morning! in the two and a half the morgan family in liverpool, years since the attack, waking up to a birthday weekend with the tightest coronavirus detective sergeant bailey has made restrictions in the country. three attempts to return to work eight o'clock in the morning. but today, in a series we've been up already of posts on twitter, for at least half an hour. he said he'd admitted defeat. normally we would be he said although he'd tried going and meeting some friends, hard to make it work, but things have changed a little he could no longer find peace bit, haven't they? while working in the yes.

policing environment. so now we are just going to stay in. why? in a statement, the chief constable and play with our toys. of wiltshire police, no! kier pritchard, said... detective sergeant bailey praised the support he had received from his colleagues and said but changes to plans are being repeated in so many homes here. that he was just sorry he'd for myself, as mayor of greater manchester... while the row deepens in manchester between civic leaders and downing street over detective sergeant bailey praised the city's tier level. the support he had received the problem for many from his colleagues and said round here is that the layered that he was just sorry he'd restrictions brought in today have made the thin blue line effectively created tier borders. a little bit thinner. jon donnison, bbc news. up there is lancashire. everyone living beyond that sign is living with tier 3 restrictions. butjust a few steps down the road, and you can see the sign welcoming you to the borough of wigan. that is the greater manchester border and everyone living up there is living with tier 2 restrictions. it means the village of apperley bridge is now split in two. at this dance school, classes are back online. ijust find it really confusing, every day changes. so i have schools in greater manchester and also schools in west lancashire. so we just go along with the guidelines.

one of the establishments down the road, the pub there is affected by the new measures on the lancashire side. but then the pub trading on this side is not affected yet. on the greater manchester side. i think it is a bit of a shame, really, because it has created a bit of a divide. yesterday they were showing two tiers on the app and things like that. and then theyjust said finally, eventually, you are all locked down. millions in the north—west are now watching their step with these new rules. but many say they are confused, worried about putting a foot wrong. philip norton, bbc news, apperley bridge. you can see the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, along with the government's michael gove, on the andrew marr show at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning on bbc one. the latest government figures show there were 16,171 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week, is now 16,372.

822 people are being admitted to hospital on average each day over the past week. this number doesn't include scotland. 150 deaths were reported — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—i9 test. that means on average in the past week — 117 deaths were announced every day. it takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to 43,579. it's emerged this evening that people who have been told to self—isolate through nhs test and trace could have their contact details shared with police. our correspondent jon donnison is here. concerns have been raised for perhaps reasons that are obvious over data protection? one of the department of health have said no data will be shared with the police but there are concerns this move could put people off getting tested in the first place. for test

and trace to work people must follow the rules and we've had studies showing as he was 18% of people with coronavirus symptoms are property self isolating. three weeks ago the government made it illegal for people in england to refuse to self—isolate and introduced fines of up self—isolate and introduced fines of up to £10,000 but up until now it has been difficult for the police to issue those fines without having access to information from test and trace. but the government has done today as it says it signed a memorandum of understanding with national police chief cancels allowing the forces to have access ona allowing the forces to have access on a case to case basis to information that allows them to know whether a specific individual has been asked to self—isolate and is say the department of health say testing data will not be shared in this process. the police chief council say they will continue to encourage voluntary compliance but they will enforce regulations and issue fines where appropriate. john, thank you. well, at the heart of all these developments still comes the tightening of the covid restrictions.

our health correspondent katharine da costa has been looking at what we can do under the new rules. millions of people across the uk are now under tighter restrictions, from the closure of pubs and restaurants in scotland's central belt, to travel bans in wales, to a four—week lockdown in northern ireland. england has opted for a three tier approach with different levels of restrictions, all designed to slow the spread of the virus. while it can feel like there are a myriad of restrictions, there are still lots of things you can do. if you live in a high alert area you can still meet up to six people you don't live with outside in private gardens or pub gardens. and you can travel to see people in a medium alert area, again, as long as you stay outside. if you are in a very high alert area, you can travel for things like work, education, or to care for someone. and you can meet up to six people in public spaces outside, such as in parks or in the countryside.

children who live with different parents can still move between homes and children can still attend organised groups and wraparound childcare. and if a lone parent or a single adult is forming a support bubble with another household, they can still see each other inside and stay over. currently even in the very high alertareas, retailshops, supermarkets, hairdressers and beauticians are still open. but you must wear a face covering, and social distance. the virus is often a mild illness but cases are rising rapidly in some areas, leading to stark warnings from scientists. we've got to remember that because a very large proportion of the population have not had this virus, there is sufficiently large numbers of people even in that tiny minority that are going to be really unwell, that it has the potential to overwhelm the health service. and that is what we want to try and stop. while every part of the uk is taking a slightly different approach to tackling the virus,

scientists say the most important way people can play their part is to isolate if they have the virus or have been in contact with it. catherine da costa, bbc news. if you want more details on what restrictions are in place where you live, do go to our website — bbc.co.uk/news — and search using your post code. the french authorities have named the man who beheaded a teacher in a paris suburb yesterday. police believe samuel paty was targeted because he showed pupils controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammed, in a lesson on free speech. abdoulak abouyezidvitch, a chechen teenager, died after being shot and injured by police. here's our paris correspondent, lucy williamson. this is the moment police confronted the man who beheaded a teacher on a suburban street. drop your weapon, they shout.

the suspect shoots at them with a bb gun. the next sound you will hear is police firing back. shots fired. today, france's counterterrorism prosecutor named the suspect as abdoulak abouyezidvitch a, an 18—year—old chechen man with refugee status in france. he lived an hour's drive away from conflans, the prosecutor said, and had to ask school pupils to point his target out. samuel paty was a 47—year—old teacher of history and geography who decided to use two cartoons of muhammed as part of a class on freedom of speech. investigators say it sparked a social media campaign by one outraged parent and that there had been threats against the school. translation: yesterday there was a state of shock and now the priority for us is to look after the children, because i think it was very hard

for them and it still is. translation: memories are going to come back, he is going to say my teacher is not there. and apparently there are photographs going round of the scene. i hope they don't see those because i think they are already going to be affected by this for life. flowers mark the places where lives are shattered. in france that list has grown a little longer this week. confla ns now remembered alongside paris, nice, all the other places where hatred of french values has left blood on the country's streets. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. with all the sport now, here's olly foster at the bbc sport centre. good evening. exeter chiefs are rugby union european champions for the first time. it was an incredible final, behind closed doors in bristol, as they overcame french side racing 31—27. patrick gearey reports. ten yea rs

ten years ago exeter won promotion in bristol and now they were back to try to conquer europe. they spent a decade bulldozing through barriers so decade bulldozing through barriers so what chance had the racing 92 defence. simon simmons got a second for exeter chiefs. racing submitted information and finn russell picked out simon zebo. racing had been hit bya out simon zebo. racing had been hit by a coronavirus outbreak in the build—up and threw everything into the second half. simon zebo scored again but all initially afterwards finn russell was rumbled, his pass intercepted and henry slade of england trotted over for the racing still but not relent and with the penalty they were only one point behind. chiefs lost a man to the sin bin butjust as a decisive racing 92 try seemed inevitable exeter somehow w011 try seemed inevitable exeter somehow won a penalty and saved the match. now in the final seconds' time to make sure and joe simmons with the kick to the top of europe. what a

moment and for exeter, what the decade. patrick geary, bbc news. the premier league and scottish premiership returned today after the international break. highlights of all the game follow the news, but i've got the results, if you want them. it was all square in the merseyside derby as league leaders everton came from behind twice against liverpool. it finished 2—2 but liverpool captain jordan henderson had an injury—time goal disallowed by a very marginal offside decision. in the day's other matches, it finished 3—3 at chelsea as southampton scored an injury—time equaliser. manchester city beat arsenal 1—0. manchester united scored three late goals as they won 4—1 at newcastle. rangers are four points clear of celtic at the top of the scottish premiership after coming out on top in the old firm. they won 2—0 at celtic park, defender connor goldson scored both their goals. there were also wins for st johnstone and kilmarnock. leeds rhinos have won rugby league's challenge cup. they beat salford red

on our main story, the continuing confusion over coronavirus restrictions in england. the chief constable of greater manchester police has issued an open letter over claims he will not enforce a tier 3 lockdown without the support of the mayor. ian hopkins responded to a story on the front page of today's daily telegraph which suggests the government has not forced the tougher restrictions on greater manchester because of fears around police enforcement. in a way, it's trying to undermine the fundamental principles of policing in this country that chief constables are operating independently for a reason with the consent of the public in the united kingdom, and that is something that is dear to me and all my colleagues up and down the country. the police service has a code of ethics. we all use that as our touchstone for our policing decision—making, and it'sjust not right. i don't feel it's right that the public of greater manchester should think that in any way,

there is political interference around the way that we police. one thing i think, i can say with real conviction is throughout this, i've spoken to andy burnham and had numerous meetings with him and other leaders and senior officers from across the system of greater manchester, as well as several meetings and calls with the home secretary and one with the prime minister. and everyone has agreed on the necessity for enforcement of the regulations in place. everybody recognises that some of those are pretty tricky, and the police have had some really difficult decisions to make in dealing with those relations, but we have tried. we have tried to be proportionate in greater manchester. in the first period of lockdown, we were one of the lowest enforcing areas in the country because we saw huge amounts of compliance from people right across

greater manchester. since we've had the local restrictions in place for around about ten weeks, we have ended up enforcing more and we've issued 563 notices in that period, because there is a hard core of people that just want to disobey the rules. actually, we get a lot of people trying their absolute hardest here to comply, what are you doing about those people who are breaking the rules? most of the things that we're dealing with come from reports from members of the public. hello there. we started the month as a record—brea ker. hello there. we started the month as a record—breaker. october hello there. we started the month as a record—brea ker. october the hello there. we started the month as a record—breaker. october the 3rd was the wettest day ever recorded across the uk and we're still seeing signs of how wet it is underfoot, despite a rather quiet day on saturday, there has been a lot of cloud around. a similar story for sunday, this is where front will enhance some drizzly rain across the north—east, but it will stay largely

quiet for many. there will be a few scattered showers around as well and with light winds, some of those could be slow—moving. the best of the breaks look likely across england and wales with some brief glimpses of sunshine from time to time, but the temperatures are still subdued for the time of year. six to 13 degrees at the very best. as we move out of sunday into monday, there are signs of things becoming a lot more changeable as we see some wet weather pushing in from the atla ntic wet weather pushing in from the atlantic and the isobars are starting to squeeze together, the windies will tend to strengthen. the heaviest of the rain looks likely through northern ireland and scotland. there will be some rain in south—west england and wales, clouding over ahead of it but staying largely dry. the wind direction coming from the south, so we are going to see the temperatures over the next couple of days on the up over the next couple of days on the up and in fact, in the brighter moments, we could see 50 may be 16 degrees. but i'm not sure you will notice it underneath the cloud, the wind and rain. more wet weather to come, more windy weather to come as we move into tuesday. yet again, the

heaviest of the rain through northern ireland and to scotland and it looks as though we will start off with some wet weather, moving away from eastern england, drier, brighter interleaved following on behind. the windus will strengthen further on tuesday, i've put the wind gusts on to demonstrate that we could see gusts in excess of a0 mph. from that south—westerly direction, in brighter moments, we could see temperatures above the average for the time of year, perhaps peaking at 18 degrees. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, we need to keep an eye on this frontal system moving on from the near continent. a level of uncertainty as to how far north that rain will go, but we could see a spell of wet weather across channel coast clearing away from east anglia. trailing around, more wet weather into northern ireland, sandwiched between the two, a drier, brighter spell of weather and temperatures nine to 16 celsius. low pressure is never too far away

either towards the end of the week, but it does look likely that thursday will be a slightly more showery day, breezy from time to time, particularly in those showers, but there will be some brighter spells as well. so thursday, there is going to be some usable weather out there. temperatures should peak at around 11 to 15 degrees, so not quite as warm. it does look then, the week ahead stays pretty u nsettled the week ahead stays pretty unsettled if you haven't already guessed. there will be spells of rain at times and that is often going to be accompanied by some blustery winds. the culprit is our friend the jet stream. this rib a fast moving air higher than the atmosphere, strengthening, intensifying right across the uk and it is the jet stream that drives in low pressure systems from the atlantic. it does not likely that we are going to see this unsettled weather with one low pressure moving through, plenty of isobars on the charts, windy spell, a brief lull following on behind before the next area of low pressure pushes in as

well. not unusual for this time of year, it is after all.
