this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. thousands of people are expected to gather across france today to remember the teacher who was killed outside his school, near paris, on friday. police in england are to be allowed to access the details of people who've been told to self—isolate by the nhs test and trace contact tracers. the mayor of greater manchester is due to speak with a government advisor today to try and find a solution to the stand—off over financial support for the region. anywhere could end up in tier 3 this winter. in fact, i would say places are likely to end up in tier 3 this winter. therefore it is everyone‘s concern that we protect the lowest paid in our

communities. the the earlier we have the restrictions, in those areas of high incidents, the better we do stopping further damage to the economy. in australia — easing of restrictions for residents in melbourne and the state of victoria after coronavirus cases fall. coming up, as the london film festival draws to a close, we talk to the organiser about the challenges facing the industry. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. thousands will gather in cities across france in a few hours to remember the teacher who was killed near

his school on friday. the death of samuel paty has horrified the country. mr paty was apparently targeted for showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils during a lesson on freedom of speech. the attacker, a refugee of chechen origin, had been waiting outside the school and had asked pupils to identify his victim. he was later shot dead by police. from paris, lucy williamson has more. samuel was a 47—year—old teacher of history and geography who decided you to map recordings of the prophet muhammad as part of the bells and freedom of speech. investigators say it sparked a social media campaign by one outraged parent and there had been threats against the school. translation: 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. this place is now remembered alongside paris and nice and all the other places where hatred of french values has left blood on the country's street. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. a little earlier i spoke to our paris correspondent hugh schofield and he told me more about the reaction across france. well, i don't know how much these will be mass gatherings. i very much doubt tht ey will be on the same scale i very much doubt they will be on the same scale as for example after the charlie hebdo shootings five years ago.

though the one in paris brought out a million, a million and a half in the place de la republique and i doubt it will be like that. that said, there is no question the killing has affected people more deeply maybe than other killings. i mean, every killing that comes along is bad enough, but because this was, the symbolism attached to it was so clear, it has moved people in an additional way. the fact this was a history teacher teaching about freedom of expression and that because he did that and used a certain tool, which was the cartoon of prophet mohammed, but it did so warning about its possible effective nature and muslim students offensive nature and muslim students could leave the room or look away, the fact he was killed for doing that, doing hisjob and perpetuating and spreading the republican educational message, that, i think, people find very, very shocking indeed. that was why president

macron was there so swiftly at the scene on friday. no, this will not be forgotten quickly. police forces in england are to be allowed to access some of the details of people who've been told to self—isolate by nhs test and trace contact tracers. the department of health say requests will be dealt with on a case—by—case basis, but the british medical association has warned it might put some people off being tested. john mcmanus reports. the streets of the capital last night, as londoners spent their first evening under the tier 2 high alert restrictions. it was calm in dalston. but a few miles west in soho, the scene was busier. mixing outside is still allowed here, as long as the rule of six is followed. and sitting behind the new alert levels is the test and trace system.

it has now emerged that users' data may be shared with police if they are suspected of failing to self—isolate following a positive test for them or those they live with. the government says this will occur on a case—by—case basis, but it has brought criticism from the british medical association and the liberal democrats. their leader, sir ed davey, called it a huge mistake, adding that "asking our already overstretched police service to take on this task is self—defeating and a serious misjudgement." meanwhile, the stand—off over which tier level the greater manchester region should be under continues. the region's mayor andy burnham has denied further talks have been scheduled for this morning. the government says it did reach out. whitehall wants greater manchester to join lancashire and the liverpool city region in the very high alert level. mr burnham is insisting on financial support for businesses. i do think it is very good that he's holding out for more financial measures. we do need that. it hasn't been done enough.

but also there is a point where you cannot hold human lives as a leverage any more. i don't know how well tier 3 would work out. we have already been in tier 2 for months and it doesn't seem to have helped much. maybe the circuit breaker might be a better thing to try. across the uk, 16,171 new cases of the virus were recorded in the latest 24—hour period. 150 new deaths were also registered in the same time. prime minister, are we at a turning point? and amid all the other political wrangling the prime minister is reluctant to order england into a nationwide lockdown, something he fears would put the brakes on any recovery. john mcmanus, bbc news. our political correspondent jonathan blake says talks are expected today between the greater manchester mayor and the government over moving the region to tier 3.

the two sides are, it seems, talking again, at least. andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester, has said this morning he is expecting to speak to the prime minister's senior adviser, sir edward lister, on the phone. we will see, what, if anything, comes of that. he is trying to mount a national challenge to the government approach, suggesting in an interview this morning that pretty much everywhere in england may well find itself under the strictest form of restrictions, tier 3, at some point this winter, and the government needs to change its approach from what he describes as doing side deals with individual councils, to offering a fair financial framework. he said that he does want to move towards a resolution and step back from the war of words, if you like. there are a lot of negotiating tactics at play. but speaking on the andrew marr programme this morning, the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham again

called on the government to change their approach. the places they are trying to close in tier 3, pubs, bookies, gyms, these are places where people are on low wages. and what we are saying is you cannot take away their place of work and not give them support. an 80% furlough of the kind we had back in march. think of the taxi drivers, the people who work on the doors in those pubs, many of them self—employed, 80% self—employment support scheme, this is notjust greater manchester's fight, andrew, this is everyone's concern. everyone could end up in tier 3 during the course of this winter. what i would say to everybody is, support us in this. i would ask your viewers to contact their mps to support us. it is about taking the country fairly through a very challenging winter. no indication the treasury is about to change its policy and go back to paying 80% of workers' wages as it did during the furlough scheme during the national lockdown in the early stages of the pandemic. but andy burnham is clear

he wants more financial support for his region. the government has been arguing against that. michael gove, the chancellor for the duchy of lancaster, again this morning saying that andy burnham's argument is incoherent, pointing out that he does not accept the restrictions are needed or make sense, but would happily accept them if the government offers up enough money. he is suggesting a deal can be done, comparing the greater manchester situation to neighbouring lancashire and the liverpool city region, which have accepted a package of financial support from the government and agreed to stricter restrictions being put in place. here is what michael gove had to say. the fundamental incoherence and the position of andy burnham in the position of andy burnham is that on the one hand, as i say, he says, actually, the virus is not spreading at a rate that merits these restrictions. and then he is saying, but actually, i will have them

if i have the money. if he were being truly concerned about public health, he would say, let's have these restrictions now. the other thing is the earlier we have the restrictions, in those areas where there is high instance, the better for the economy of those areas, because we stop the infection spreading in a way which will do further damage to the economy as well as to public health. this row continues to play out in public. it is worth noting though that it is not quite as simple as the government versus the mayor of greater manchester. there are a number of conservative mps representing constituencies in that region who are also holding out against the specific restrictions the government may want to impose and also agree that extra financial support is needed. now, brexit, michael gove was talking about that as well this morning. time is running out to get a trade deal? yes, a big move by the government this week, saying that talks

with the eu on a future trade agreement after december this year, and the transition period coming to an end, are over. michael gove was asked if he thought that was the case this morning. he said the eu has effectively ended talks by saying they will not change their approach. so not saying outright that those talks are over. he said at the door was slightly ajar and that he hoped the eu would change their position. again, putting the pressure on brussels to make the next move, but certainly there is still room for dialogue and progress in that process. jonathan blake, our political correspondent. millions of europeans face tough new coronavirus restrictions as governments step up their efforts to slow the surge in infections. it comes after the world health organization reported what they describe as a "very concerning" 44% rise in european cases over one week. aruna iyengar has this report. last orders in lyon. and a nightcap in

paris. these cities, along with seven others in france, are now under a 9pm to 6am curfew, after virus cases have surged. many are not happy at the hit businesses are having to take. translation: this measure is quite unfair. the sectors affected are the ones worst hit since the start of the pandemic. it shows a serious lack of consultation with the workers' unions. elsewhere in europe, there is a partial lockdown in poland, after the country recorded over 8,000 cases in one day. here in warsaw, and in half the country, there are new restrictions. secondary schools have shut, weddings are banned. cyprus has hit a new peak of over 200 daily infections. and in italy, the northern region of lombardy, worst hit by the first wave in february, has ordered all bars to shut at midnight.

in germany, it is a similar message — stay at home. translation: meet far fewer people whether outdoors or at home. give up any travel that is not necessary, any celebration that is not necessary. please stay at home, in your place of residence as much as possible. the netherlands too has had tough restrictions imposed after a surge in cases. however, that did not stop the dutch royal family from taking a trip to greece. it didn't go down well with the dutch public. the family returned after a day. in a statement, the king and queen said they had been affected by the intense criticism. more than 100 days after being plunged back into lockdown, australia's second most populous city, melbourne, will see a further

easing of restrictions, while regional victoria will also enjoy more freedom. here's the premier, daniel andrews, discussing the changes which come into effect at midnight local time. there will be no time limit on leaving your home for exercise or for socialising. the travel distance from your home will move from five kilometres to 25 kilometres. 0utdoor gatherings will increase to ten people from two households. the following will be open subject to conditions from midnight, 1st november. retail will open back up. hospitality, a maximum of 20 people inside and 50 people outside will reopen. beauty and personal services will return. melanie dino is a resident of melbourne and became a mother for the first time just before the first lockdown. shejoins us now.

first of all, i know it has been pretty tough for you being in lockdown but restrictions are being used in about three hours' time? yes, so, the big difference is the five kilometre radius is now extended to 20. we don't have as much of a curfew any more or time limit, so it is a lot more freedom than before. and no longer having the only four reasons to go out, so it is pretty good. that must be quite a relief. just tell us what it has been like for you, as i say, a first—time mum, you had lily, your daughter, in february. then a lockdown, then an easing of the lockdown, then an easing of the lockdown and then a second lockdown. how tough has that been for you as a new mother? oh honestly, i feel like evenif new mother? oh honestly, i feel like even if you are not a mother, you just go through waves, as it has been with the restrictions, being in lockdown, a bit of easing and then another wave which is worse.

so it has been really difficult having no family here and no close friends. yes, that is the hardest part for me, i guess, just having the support i thought i would have being a first—time mother and i just i thought i would have being a first—time mother and ijust haven't experienced that yet which is u nfortu nate. experienced that yet which is unfortunate. i think your parents and a lot of your friends live in brisbane and they have not been able to see you all the baby? yes, exactly. it is really sad, we video call exactly. it is really sad, we video ca ll every exactly. it is really sad, we video call every morning and that is our routine, to watch her grow, the only way they can really see her. that is just our covid world at the moment. indeed, and given all of the restrictions, do you think that the restrictions, do you think that the restrictions have the support of people in melbourne, generally. are people in melbourne, generally. are people like you backing what the authorities are doing? look, i feel like a lot of us have different opinions. ifeel like the majority of melbourne is quite over it and wondering why the government is

having so much control over us. it is really tough, the fact that the whole rest of the country is going through something a lot more easy and we are wondering why, you know, it is only us, even in the world, who are going through something really restrictive. it is quite tough. do you think it has been too tough. do you think it has been too tough at times, then, the lockdown? i feel like we as a state need to learn how to live in this new covid world instead of just learn how to live in this new covid world instead ofjust being locked away because honestly, that is how it feels right now, just being, you know, our freedom has it feels right now, just being, you know, ourfreedom has been stripped away and we have no say in it, really. we a re away and we have no say in it, really. we are just waiting for new announcements and to be honest, it has not been, you know, real promises, it has always been uncertainty and that is the hard pa rt uncertainty and that is the hard part of it. just before i let you 90, part of it. just before i let you go, how is your daughter doing?

she is pretty much as old as the coronavirus, having been born in february. yes. is she ok? she is great, very healthy, i'm very lucky to be ina great, very healthy, i'm very lucky to be in a situation with my partner being so supportive and working so hard, soi being so supportive and working so hard, so i feel very lucky in that sense, and she is very happy. she doesn't know any better! just as well. thank you forjoining us. and good luck for the future and i hope you can enjoy some of the easing of the restrictions in about three hours' time. melanie dino, a new mother in melbourne. we're all familiar with the idea of tracing who you are related to through dna. well, you can now do something similar with the coronavirus and scientists have already used the technique to clamp down on outbreaks. uk labs are leading the way in this genomic detective work which can teach us how the virus is moving around and who is spreading it. richard westcott has visited one

of the labs behind this research. to keep control of the coronavirus you need to spot and then clamp down on outbreaks as soon as possible. and here is the small device that is helping scientists do it. viruses have genes, just like humans. a few years ago, you needed a big machine to look at them. today you can do it with something this tiny. and here it is — this is the genome of the coronavirus being read. alex is part of a team that's spent months doing genetic detective work, comparing the genes of hundreds of virus samples from sick people. now it has really started ramping up. we go two a week, ten a week, sometimes ten over the weekend or on a day if it's busy. if a group of people in the same hospital or workplace have an identical version

of the coronavirus with the same genetic code, they almost certainly caught it from each other. that is an outbreak. if the genetic codes are different, they all caught it elsewhere. public health experts will get in touch with us, say what they are looking for, we will get those samples in as soon as we can and within 2a hours we hope to have the answer. is it an outbreak, all the same thing moving around, or have there been multiple introductions from outside where different people have brought it in? they have tested more samples in the east of england than most countries around the world. finding 100 different genetic types or lineages in norfolk alone. most are traceable back to italy, spain and france, not asia. and they have investigated potential outbreaks at a hospital in ipswich and a chicken factory in norfolk. we found that in the chicken factory, all the viruses we sequenced were exactly the same. that meant the virus was moving from one person to another in the factory or within the community that works in the factory. when we looked in the hospital, what we found was that there were multiple different types of the virus, different lineages of the virus in the hospital.

they were similar to the lineages that we saw in the ipswich community. that meant those viruses were coming in with the people who were sick with them and they were not transmitting in the hospital. that meant the infection control measures were working appropriately and the hospital didn't need to worry. uk labs are leading the world in this genome work. as the virus springs back, it will be a key weapon in fighting outbreaks. richard wescott, bbc news, norwich. pablo picasso was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. now — a new exhibition devoted to his work is opening in paris — has been exploring the connection of his art to music. tim allman reports. he was undeniably a master of the visual medium. pablo picasso's art was,

in its own way, revolutionary. unlike anything that had come before. and he understood that art can be consumed not only with the eyes, but the ears too. this exhibition examines that creative link between sound and vision. translation: music, as he loved it, was a sensitive thing. was typified by dancers' bodies and instruments. we don't even know if he knew how to read music. even if he could read it, legend has it picasso once said he didn't really like music, but musical motifs regularly appeared in his work. and he often drew notes and instruments in his sketchbooks. he had an attentive, detailed mind, examining the shape of things, using them to help create his art.

translation: he talked with violin makers because he took signs used by them to characterise elements of the instrument. he was very interested in the structure of the object. the exhibition runs until the beginning of january. examining the genius of picasso in a whole new light and a whole new sound. tim allman, bbc news. a new, artificial "white sand" beach is sparking controversy in the philippines. environmentalists say the manila bay sands project, part of a wider £20 million government plan to clean up manila bay, is damaging to the local ecosystem and hazardous to public health. but it is very popular. howard johnson reports. this is manila's new white sand

beach made of crushed dolomite rock, pa rt beach made of crushed dolomite rock, part of a plan to clean up the city's arbour, years of neglect caused by waste from residential buildings and harbours. you can see the real problem of manila bay here, the real problem of manila bay here, the waste that has accumulated from the waste that has accumulated from the 13 million people that live in this city. what you won't be able to detect is the awful smell of the water, the foetal matter in there is so water, the foetal matter in there is so high, it is currently unsafe to swim but the government are cleaning up swim but the government are cleaning up the bay, as you can see at the moment, they are dredging with this big tucker over here. the beach was briefly open to the public in september and has already drawn thousands of curious onlookers. translation: this is super attractive for people and it feels like you are in a beauty spot. attractive for people and it feels like you are in a beauty spotm attractive for people and it feels like you are in a beauty spot. it is a waste of money and may be injust a waste of money and may be injust a month, this will fade away, because of the storm and the weather. but the $600,000 beach project has been characterised by environmentalist who say that

dolomite was extracted from a quarry in the south of the philippines and thatis in the south of the philippines and that is detrimental to very life. the dolomite has health hazards to people and health hazards to the wildlife living in miller bay. it may cause destruction to the environment and of course, rehabilitation, if it is genuine rehabilitation, if it is genuine rehabilitation, they shouldn't be putting white sand that is not natural to the ecosystem of manila bay. the department of the environment, which is currently investigating claims of environmental damage caused by the quarrying, it is not only is the sand safe, but a better looking bay can help nudge beach—goers to keep it clean. we dredge, and then we added the thing is to beautify it because what we are doing here is trying to alter the behaviour of the public so if we put normal black sand, there, so people will not really see whether there is improvement. with the project scheduled for completion at the end

of the year, many have begun anticipating a day by the sea. but what a bacteria levels are still dangerously high and swimming might not be an option. howard johnson, bbc news, manila bay. liverpool has been transformed into gotham city, as filming gets under way for the latest batman movie. the city centre has been taken over by a huge hollywood production team, in spite of the coronavirus restrictions. 0ur reporter ian haslam joined some of the hundreds of fans who turned up to watch. iam i am vengeance. batman is back and once again protecting gotham city from its criminal underworld. gotham city in liverpool, for this week at least. this is st george's hall, the movie set. anybody in particular you are looking out to see? batman. i'm just going to the shops for an hour and then i will come back and have a little look. white margalet‘s kobe does not appear while you

are gone. —— white margalet‘s kobe does not appear while you are gone. -- let's hope he does not appear while you are gone. i'll have to be dead quick. the caped crusader has been caught on camera a few times. here he is on top of the liver building. he is not easy to find. i have not seen batman, have you? i have, yeah! i've seen every one. i thought everyone had seen it! not the film, him? no, i've not. i thought it was him earlier but it was a security guard. tough break. he has been spotted in places including anfield cemetery. but for fans, spotting a stunt man is one thing, seeing new batman star robert pattinson is another thing altogether. i saw him yesterday. he was filming the walk down scene. what is like to see a hollywood actor? i don't know, i didn't really think much of it. whether the old tv series is your favourite, or one of the amny movie versions, the much—rebooted batman franchise is as popular as ever. i've never seen a hollywood film set in person before. there's literally a cast of hundreds. i've not seen batman yet. there's not that much going on. but if they are looking for a leading man over there,

even though i am dressed in active wear, i am available if you are watching. come and get me. it is not liverpool's first time as a hollywood set and who knows, with the new sound stage being built at what was littlewoods, there could be more to come. not everybody is happy with it. it is an inconvenience because everywhere is blocked. i can't go my normal route. maybe if it was a different superhero, i wouldn't be upset. but batman i don't mind. he will not help you. he doesn't help anyone in general. he's just driving around. i'm a batman hater! the movie is due for release in march 2022. ian haslam, bbc news, liverpool. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. there's a bit of brightness around in places today but for the most part, it is going to stay cloudy and where that cloud is at its thickest, it will produce some spots of light

rain here and there. this is how the forecast looks for the rest of the day. you can see extensive cloud across the map, one or two spots of rain but equally there will be some breaks in the cloud and some brighter spells, even a bit of sunshine. the wind will be light but it is going to be cool, particularly across northern areas, 7—8 degrees in northern scotland, 13—15 across southern england and south wales. through this evening and tonight, thicker cloud will bring outbreaks of rain across northern ireland and up into scotland, north—west england as well. further south and east, staying predominantly dry with some clear spells. lowest temperatures across the far east and the far north. further west, pretty mild and it is going to turn very unsettled for the start of the new working week. we will see some outbreaks of heavy rain, particularly towards the north—west and it will turn increasingly windy.
