different way. when i collated them, all the details on breakfast. they seem to have been a nice it's friday the 23rd of october. collection and i wanted to do something with them. the great skill our top story. donald trump and joe biden have clashed in their final televised debate before the us presidential election — which is ofa something with them. the great skill of a photographer like you, i hate just 12 days away. having my picture taken. if someone during the 90—minute event in nashville, tennessee — said to me, here you go, just shut which was significantly calmer your eyes and i will carry on taking than the candidates' first debate — they traded blows on issues pictures, i think i would get more including coronavirus, race, and personal finances. here's our us correspondent anxious. how did you manage to get people so relaxed in that situation? barbara plett usher. i always play music when we are shooting, which is the most important part of the shoot. if you welcome to the stage former vice put the right music on you get the presidentjoe welcome to the stage former vice president joe biden and right atmosphere in the shoot, welcome to the stage former vice presidentjoe biden and president donaldj presidentjoe biden and president donald j trumper. presidentjoe biden and president donald 1 trumper. the presidentjoe biden and president donald] trumper. the sequel to the because it is an alien situation for most out—of—control presidential people to be in, even when they are debate americans had ever seen turned out to be the kind of traditional election face—off they experienced at it. anything that would normally expect. the two men gets a different viewpoint and started by offering a sharply portrait then others have got is different visions over how to handle important, asa the surge in coronavirus pandemic portrait then others have got is important, as a photographer and artist. that is what we strive for. stop you there is not a serious scientist in the world who thinks it it seemed that touching into that will be over soon. your reaction? i seem to be a good way because most

say we are learning to live with it, people do not see themselves with we have no choice, we cannot lock their eyes closed, only their family ourselves in a basement. we have no choice, we cannot lock ourselves in a basementli when they are sleeping and i was we have no choice, we cannot lock ourselves in a basement. i will shut down the virus, not the country. it intrigued by that. it is is hit in attitude that caused the interesting. when we showed the country to have to close down in a montage of your beautiful pictures, large part. —— his ineptitude. why we finished with a picture of schools are closed, why 70 people caroline flack. and the poignancy of have lost their winning. president trump seemed poised to take that, raising money for the charity responsibility forfail trump seemed poised to take mind, and this is about mental responsibility for fail this with covid—i9 but then he didn't. responsibility for fail this with health and supporting people, how covid—i9 but then he didn'tli responsibility for fail this with covid-19 but then he didn't. i take full responsibility. it's not my important has that been to you? the fault that it came here, it is thing about taking a photograph, it china's. like the much anticipated mute button saw some action but even is so personal and exposing, you cannot help but have a relationship when the microphones were open president trump held off the with your subject. yes, when you are co nsta nt president trump held off the constant interruption of last time. what was supposed to be a discussion shooting, that connection is very on national security got tangled up powerful. even if you see them in in accusations of personal the street the next day and they do corruption involving foreign governments. i don't make money from not notice you, but when you are china. you do. i don't make money shooting it is powerful. the from ukraine. you do. i don't make money from russia. i have not taken caroline shot was on strictly and we had done the shoot. i really liked a single penny from any country the butterfly. iasked if whatsoever, ever. president trump had done the shoot. i really liked the butterfly. i asked if we could do that and we did it. when i showed got ina

whatsoever, ever. president trump got in a couple of sharp hits. he turned a question on black lives her the portrait after, months matter into an attack on]oe biden‘s later, she loved it and was happy record on race reform and try to use for it to be used. and then her his experience in office against mother, christine, approved the use him. i ran because of you, i run of the portrait, as well. that is a because of barack 0bama, because you did a poorjob. if i thought you did powerful image. there are loads of a good job i would never have run.” powerful image. there are loads of powerful images. the katie piper hope he doesn't look at me because images powerful. it is katie without what is happening here is you know who i what is happening here is you know wholam, what is happening here is you know who i am, you know who he is, you know his character, you know my make up, but she still seems strong character. you know our for honour and powerful. ithink and telling the truth. i am anxious make up, but she still seems strong and powerful. i think a lot of the portraits have little stories to have this race. climate change attached to them. they are very and immigration got serious diverse, which is what i like about attention this time. 0verall]oe biden put in a steady performance it. ray, did anyone nod off? no, and crucially scored points in everyday issues that matter to americans, like health care. my they are reasonably quick things. responses people deserve to have sometimes we might go to that place a few times during a shoot. like idris elba. we did that kind of shot affordable health care, period. period, period, period. president trump showed restraint and so didn't four or five times in the space of do himself damage but neither did he inflict much damage on]oe biden, the shoot, but people are generally

who is the front runner. voters up the shoot, but people are generally up for it and they kind of get it. where the winners, with a debate focused on substance rather than how well—behaved was cel? being hijacked by style. up for it and they kind of get it. how well-behaved was cel? he was a 0ur north america correspondent dream. some people take ages to get david willis is in los angeles. good morning. interesting watching in the zone of a shoot and never the debate. lots of people mind if you ask them to close their questioning whether it will have any impact since so many have already eyes, because i want you to take a moment, but cel got it. this is your cast their vote. absolutely. of chance. apart from anything else, it course with donald trump trailing is lovely to hear that you are a his democratic rival]oe biden in dream to work with, but the cause, several of the key states, the president was looking to this debate this is an important cause and to effectively restart his campaign, something in the acting profession, real struggles at the moment for a if you like. for his part, joe biden lot of people. completely. and i was simply looking to not raise the think it is genius what ray did, to concerns of was simply looking to not raise the c0 nce ms of vote rs was simply looking to not raise the concerns of voters over was simply looking to not raise the concerns of voters over such things ta ke as his age, he is a 77, and his think it is genius what ray did, to take something so simple, to take a moment and kind of turn it into this mental acuity. i think both candidates succeeded at least to an beautiful poignant campaign. i think extent. this was far more orderly it is something we do not do enough, affair, as we head in the report i know it is something we do not do there, not at least because of the

enough, but it is simple to do. that threat from the organisers to cut the microphone of any candidate who is my favourite thing about the attempted to interrupt the other. photos, you can be looking elsewhere to try to find that inner peace, hence we heard both campaigns are claiming victory tonight, following just coming back to the present, and this debate. will any of this make a actually you do not need to do that, scrap of difference as far as their you just need to come to you, to trajectory of the election is close your eyes, take a breath and concerned? i trajectory of the election is concerned 7 i have trajectory of the election is concerned? i have to say i very much ta ke close your eyes, take a breath and take that moment. if we can all take doubt it. you mentioned 46 million that away from the exhibition, we people have already voted in this can hopefully go a little further and find peace of mind. it has been election and, unlike four years ago, lovely to talk to you both. cel, of course donald trump defeated hillary clinton, there are far fewer thank you and ray burmiston, undecided voters this time around. beautiful pictures. so everything still to play for, you might say. indeed. thank you so you can see all of ray's pictures and add your own, much. take care. greater manchester is the latest you can see all of ray's area to be moved to the toughest pictures and add your own, tier of coronavirus restrictions for a small donation — in england with pubs and bars that by visiting the exhibition online. don't serve meals closing, it's called take a moment for mind. along with casinos, bingo halls and bookies. shall we have a moment now? 0ur correspondent dan johnson you have to close your eyes. we would love to see your pictures is in manchester this morning. this morning you can email us at morning bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk or tweet them good morning. we know the build—up using the hashtag #bbcbreakfast. to this was very fractious. but the when i said shall we have a moment?

it is raining where you are you may let's get more from our political have sunshine this afternoon. in correspondent helen catt. good morning to you. lots of windy weekend in—store. all the details coming up. measures to kind of digester and it's friday the 23rd of october. understand. yeah, a big and our top story. donald trump and joe biden have significant change announced clashed in their final televised yesterday by the chancellor to his debate before the us presidential job support scheme, which he election — which is announced a course originallyjust a just 12 days away. during the 90—minute event month ago. while these changes are in nashville, tennessee — which was significantly calmer available to everyone they are than the candidates' first debate — they traded blows on issues specifically designed to recognise the challenges that are being faced including coronavirus, race, and personal finances. by businesses in tier 2, the high level, not the highest, but the high here's our us correspondent level. the main change to that is barbara plett—usher. that an employee can work fewer applause. hours than they would have had to, welcome to the stage former just 20%, and they can get more of vice president joe biden and president donald] trump. their salary. 73%. crucially their the sequel to the most employer does not have to pay as out—of—control presidential debate much of that. the employer only has americans had ever seen turned out to play 24% overall and the to be the kind of traditional election face—off they government will pick up a lot more of it, just under half the bill for would normally expect. the two men started by offering their income. that is a sort of the big change to it. in england there sharply different visions over are also grants for hospitality how to handle the surging businesses and leisure businesses coronavirus pandemic.

there's not another serious that are in tier 2 restrictions of scientist in the world who thinks up it's going to be over soon. that are in tier 2 restrictions of up to £2100 per month, and they can president trump, your reaction? be backdated. so places that have i don't say "over soon", i say we are learning to live been under these restrictions for with it, we have no choice, some time can claim those we can't lock ourselves up in a basement. what i would say is i'm retrospectively. there has been brought welcome from business going to shut down groups, but labour have said that the virus, not the country. it's his ineptitude that because he has had to change it so caused the country to have to shut down in large part. quickly after launching it before it why businesses have gone under, has even started, this is a why schools are closed, patchwork of poor ideas rushed out why so many people have at the last minute. thank you so lost their living. president trump seemed poised to take responsibility much for taking us through that. for failures with covid—19 — and then he didn't. the scottish government will lay out i take full responsibility. plans later today for a tiered it's not my fault that it came here, system of restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus. it's china's fault. unlike the english system, the much—anticipated mute it will have five levels instead button saw some action, of three, to allow life in some but even when the microphones parts of scotland to remain as near to normal as possible. were open president trump held off the constant another tier will be added at the top, featuring harsh interruptions of last time. restrictions similar to those imposed at the outset what was supposed to be a discussion of the pandemic in march. on national security got tangled up in accusations of personal corruption involving foreign governments. 90 waste—water treatment i don't make money from china. sites across england, you do. i don't make money from ukraine. scotland and wales are testing sewage for traces of covid—19, you do. to detect outbreaks i don't make money from russia. before they spread. the scheme will act as an early i have not taken a single penny warning system to alert local health workers of an impending spike in cases. from any country whatsoever — ever.

scientists established earlier this president trump got year that fragments of the virus' genetic material could be in a couple of sharp hits. he turned a question on black lives matter into an attack identified in human waste. onjoe biden's record on race the england footballer and criminal justice reform marcus rashford, who has campaigned and tried to use mr biden's for free school meals, has visited a new foodbank warehouse experience in office against him. named after his mother. iran because of you, iran because of barack 0bama, it's been set up by the charity because you did a poorjob. if i thought you did a good job fareshare who say they are distributing double the amount i would have never run. of food than before the pandemic. i hope he doesn't look at me in response, they've taken because what's happening on a new depot in manchester, here is you know who i am, which has been named melanie maynard you know who he is. you know his character, house. you know my character. you know our reputations for honour his visit came a day after the government voted and telling the truth. against extending free school meals i am anxious to have this race. to disadvantaged children in england during the holidays. marcus rashford told climate change and immigration got breakfast he was disappointed serious attention this time. by the reaction from some mps. overalljoe biden put in a steady performance and crucially scored points on everyday issues that matter to americans, like health care. people have opinions. it's the same thing with socialising... whether or not they understand fully vice president, your what the families are going response, please. my response is, people through is another conversation. deserve to have affordable health care, period. period, period, period. applause. but, because of that, it's easier for me to sort president trump showed restraint of dismiss a lot of the people that and so didn't do himself damage — are making those opinions, because, but neither did he inflict

much damage on mr biden, you know, i know for sure that a lot who is the front—runner. of them speak in the way voters were the winners — they got that they speak and it's a debate focused on substance so insensitive about the issue, rather than hijacked by style. and they've definitely not been through it themselves. so, for me, you know, barbara plett—usher, bbc news, nashville. i'll take that all day long. as long as we start to see improvements, going forward, stricter coronavirus rules will be for the people that are in need in force for nearly six million of it now is what's important to me. people in britain this weekend so i don't mind the criticism. after greater manchester joined the liverpool city region and lancashire in england's highest tier of restrictions. this evening a 17—day lockdown starts in wales. our correspondent dan johnson is in manchester this morning, 12 minutes past six is the time. but first let's talk to tomos morgan yesterday you and i were in disagreement about whether it was who is in chepstow. chilly or one. i thought it was mild, you thought it was chilly. morning tomos, what does it chilly or one. i thought it was mild, you thought it was chillym was the wind, i think made the mean for people there? difference. this morning? i thought those restrictions are in place and it was quite mild. i thought it was quite chilly. they go. you are not they kick in today. that's right, from 6p pm this evening wales will surprised, that we disagree? are not be undera at all. good morning. it's all very from 6p pm this evening wales will be under a national lockdown, firebrick, 17 days, all nonessential personal, weather. we all like it in businesses, hospitality sector, different temperatures and of course

in different ways. if you like the gymnasiums, no mixing indoors rain you will like this this morning between households and people will have to stay local. chepstow in particular across western areas. good morning, by the way. if you monmouthshire is one of the few don't, there will be sunshine at places in wales not under local times. there is something for lockdown over the past few weeks, everyone today. let me show you where the wettest weather is at the moment. quite expensive in northern andl ireland, a break coming from the lockdown over the past few weeks, and i have a guess now who owns two pubs in chepstow. you have seen low west. rain spreading across much of rates here, they have risen now, but scotland and into the north west of england, north and west wales. if you're not convinced with having to few heavy showers through south and go under these measures? central england, pushing through lincolnshire and east anglia in the you're not convinced with having to go underthese measures? i you're not convinced with having to next few hours. mist and fog in a go under these measures? i can't justify it. how has it been over the few spots in the west and south. dry la st justify it. how has it been over the last few months for you as an establishment owner? very difficult, until late in the day but notice how the numbers have gone down, we have clear skies will develop across many northern and western areas. the sunshine will come out after a wet done everything the government has asked us to do, the guidelines, i start. mild to the south—east feel the pubs are one of the safest corner, 15, 16 degrees, but with a places, we've done track and trace, strengthening breeze through the day we opened in july, and cloud will thicken during the places, we've done track and trace, we opened injuly, there was no afternoon. 0ur weather front spike. we opened in august, we did bringing rain in the west will ease a bit, just patch a light rain and drizzle as it pushes through the eat out to help out, no spike, middle is during the afternoon but students go back, there is a spike, wales, northern england, scotland, i feel we are the punchbag right northern ireland, this mornings rain now. how long do you think you can which i was pushing through on the go on like this, opening and

breeze into scotland in the afternoon and it will feel much closing, reduce numbers, curfews, along can you go on? chepstow is on cooler here, temperatures only around seven to 10 degrees. as we go its knees. i don't think you can keep shutting, you know, the ten through this evening and overnight, after a clear start in eastern areas, a few showers in the comic o'clock curfew is a massive issue for the pubs, a repeat of last night, heavy rain o'clock curfew is a massive issue forthe pubs, a huge issue. spreading in for tomorrow morning. o'clock curfew is a massive issue the winds will strengthen and for the pubs, a huge issue. tracy, thank you. it comes into force this certainly as we go into tomorrow all evening at 6pm, no mixing at all, of us will see spells of rain. one other thing we understood from wetter conditions across the south, but with low pressure in charge this weekend, there could be some travel that neck of the first minister saying essential shops that remain disruption. gail is at times. more open, supermarkets that sell food details on that at around 6:45am. they will not be able to sell nonessential items like clothes. a thank you, see you later on. bit ofan the chancellor has unveiled increased support for nonessential items like clothes. a bit of an issue for many shops that jobs and workers hit will be open over the next few days, by coronavirus restrictions. pubs, restaurants and hotels were singled out for extra help, the firebreak lasting for 17 days but it leaves many businesses coming into force this evening. still fighting for their survival. thank you. lets join our ben's at a children's soft play correspondent dan johnson in business in london for us... manchester and we know after the debates, the arguments, the measures are in place in manchester. yes, hia hi a lot of people trying to work out what these new measures mean. finally, people have clarity about

put the equipment down, tells the what they will be living with for at least the next month but one story! can ijust say, it says are question is how much longer will it go on? quite a busy night last night you an adult if so, do not sit on idid go on? quite a busy night last night i did manchester city centre, some people taking advantage of the last me. we are at the soft play centre chance to be in the pubs and bars that will have to close for at least in london and i will explain the the next few weeks and that's a big releva nce in london and i will explain the relevance of this place in a second, deal for some of those people. it's because we are looking at the winners and losers from what was notjust their business, deal for some of those people. it's not just their business, livelihood, their work that will be disrupted, announced by the chancellor. helen explained earlier the]ob they of course are the focus of social life are some people. pubs announced by the chancellor. helen explained earlier the job support scheme will be improved so it means are at the centre of certain employers are contributing less and communities and i sent you get as i workers will get more wages, if they have moved around different cities, are not able to get back to work. talking to people, how some people will be affected in a big way, it is but places like this fall between the cracks, because in the their business, place of work, somewhere they rely on as part of government pulls my eyes they fall their social life or perhaps into the same category as gyms, so somewhere they rely on, other people they are not able to open to full say this won't make a huge capacity. children cannot mix. they difference to me. i was talking to make money from children's party in my mum last night who is in an area about to go into tier 3 and i places like this, so it has huge explained the rules to her and she said that's how i've been living for implications for businesses like this and the whole industry. i could the last few months anyway, it won't introduce you to the boss. places make much difference. but to

like this make a lot of money from underline the importance for people big groups of kids coming for over there as the nightingale hospital for the north—west which parties and you cannot do that. what reopen shortly as a recuperation does it mean for the business? ce ntre reopen shortly as a recuperation centre for covid—19 patients. parties and you cannot do that. what does it mean for the business7m has had a huge impact on our reopen shortly as a recuperation centre for covid-19 patients. thank you. business. we are down 75% on south yorkshire is also set to join the highest level of restrictions capacity, and the restrictions are at midnight tonight, while coventry, stoke and slough massive. and parties are big will move into tier 2 — the high alert level. it comes after the chancellor business. that is 35% normally of unveiled new support measures for workers and firms hit by restrictions. let's get more from our political our revenue. we do not really correspondent helen catt. understand the reason for that, if good morning. we spoke to the schools and children can be in their treasury minister stephen barclay earlier but there has been a mixed schools and children can be in their school class bubbles, why can't they reaction to these measures? it's a be in the same school class bubble big and significant change to the job support scheme which will come outside the school in a covid safe in tomorrow. this will replace the environment like topsy turvey world existing scheme. now, workers will play centres. the focus is on be able to work about a fifth of their hours and get three quarters of their pay, crucially, who pays hospitality and bars and for that? that has changed. restau ra nts. hospitality and bars and restaurants. you suggest no one is employers will have to put in less, paying attention to what you do here. you contribute to the economy the government putting in more. the

id of this, it's available to and provide health and fitness for everybody but the idea is to help kids, which has been prioritised as those areas which have been into far as adults are concerned, but not your two restrictions on businesses in your case. what would make it that are struggling and to further better for you? if children are help hospitality and leisure businesses, there is also grants of excluded from the rule of six, it £2000 which can be claimed retrospectively. labour and business groups have welcomed some measures would make a huge difference, but but because there's been a big change just a month after the also tailored support. with the chancellor first announced this, the restrictions imposed on us, it has made it difficult to make money in labour party has said this is this industry. we support a lot of rushing out a patchwork of policies at the last minute. downing street say this is about adapting. helen, play centres across the uk as part thank you. of the association of indoor play. the scottish government will lay out plans later today for a tiered system of restrictions to curb we are seeing everyday play centres the spread of coronavirus. unlike the english system, it will going out of business. i think one have five levels instead of three. some restrictions are expected to be similar to those in ten, so far. that is every day we imposed at the outset are casualties of soft play of the pandemic in march. business. it is staggering when you the time is 11 minutes past eight. put the numbers on it like that. we let'sjoin the time is 11 minutes past eight. let's join mat and find out what is will talk later. the issue, and when happening with the weather. how are

into the holidays. showers in western scotland, some of and the big news overnight — you will dodge those altogether. the final us presidential debate this evening, cloud and patchy rain before the election, in 12 days. the washington post in the south—east, driver many across the east of the country dissects all the action. overnight but almost a repeat of do you want to talk about last night. some heavy rain pushing in from the west, the big difference friendship? research has been done this time is the wind is much that chimpanzees are picky about stronger. all of us will get pushed their friends as they grow older, into the spin cycle this weekend with this big area of low pressure just like humans. as people age, bringing rain and strong and gusty they have smaller circles of winds at time which could lead to meaningful, establish friendships some travel disruption for some. rather than seek new ones. they are more details on that around 8:45am. likely to lean towards positive back to you both. thank you. relationships where there is a mutual liking rather than those that bring tension or conflict. how do they know that? they look at this week we've been looking at europe's largest cancer unit — the chimpanzees, how they groom each the christie hospital in manchester. we've been meeting patients other. they went to a national park and staff and hearing how they have been coping through the pandemic. in uganda. they looked at male breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been chimpanzees because apparently they taking a look at how the hospital is tackling a backlog of patients, have stronger bonds than females. at the same time as researching future treatments. they studied them from the age of 15 at the christie, they haven'tjust to 58 over a period of 20 years. fought cancer in the time of covid —

they've also fought covid. like humans they become more selective about friends with age. covid's not going away any time soon, but cancer diagnosis later this morning we will be at isn't going to change and we need to be treating people. chester zoo. hopefully with the in just six weeks from the start of the pandemic they built this orangutans there. a lot of people acute assessment ward from scratch so patients infected with the virus are fond of them. wouldn't be denied the chance to continue their treatment. you might remember paul harvey, who we featured on the programme a few weeks ago. we cannot go back to a complete lockdown. we cannot stop giving people treatment because otherwise he's a former music teacher we are just creating living with dementia, a bigger problem. who became an internet and that's what we've been sensation after he composed a piece trying to achieve here. of music using just four notes. his performance touched millions of people, including some of his former students who went on to work in the music industry. and you could see the upsurge breakfast‘s graham satchell has been now it's happening. to catch up with paul oh, it is definitely happening. for a very special reunion. we are getting a lot more patients in. who's in today? this is 80—year—old paul harvey we've got three people in at the moment. they're all at different stages of their cancerjourney, doing what he loves best. unfortunately, got covid at the same time. paul was diagnosed with dementia last year. the important thing is we're able to continue his memory is slowly deteriorating, with that treatment — we've not had to stop but he's found extraordinary solace in the restorative power of music. giving the treatment. with a second wave already here, the christie say they are ready

to face it without the need to press dad has good days and bad days. the pause button once again — not just on treatment, bad days can be pretty grim. but clinical trials. let me introduce judith and her aptly named consultant. if dad's looking a bit distant, or feeling depressed, this famous dr krebs. then i try to persuade him to get up that's right, yes. and sit at the piano dr cancer. and play, and it brings him back into the room. f natural. my surname, krebs, does in fact, mean cancer in german. he plays note. exactly right. not many people know that. a. often, when people are coming to see d. us, they've exhausted other treatment options and they're looking to us to try b natural. an experimental drug. but when lockdown hit, a few weeks ago, nick gave his dad the trials stopped. four notes and asked him i can't actually to improvise a tune. begin to imagine what the anxiety would have felt like. he plays slow, romantic-style tune. a lifeline, for a while — to have it suddenly snatched away. she'd ignored aches this video has now been and pains before lockdown, watched almost two million times on social media. until what was cancer had spread. i find it incredible! when we saw the first scans, absolutely incredible. it looked as though the dog had been gnawing the bones.

it was extraordinary. i just thought this i wasn't trying to do a party trick. was part of ageing. judith knows it is only the trial i can do that sort of thing. which is buying her time. and, yes, itjust took off. how much time? she doesn't want to know. it was ridiculous. i dread the, "how long have i got?" i can't begin to think about that. and everybody‘s banned from asking that question, because the answer is always it's just...he's got these beautiful harmonies and the whole form of it. going to be a guess. i was like, "where did this come from?" it was written on the spot. it's just bloomin' tragic. you just. . .they just poured out of you. it's buying you time in lockdown. so, yes, i'm in awe of this man. i know! yeah, they could have organised that better. it's not the first time one it sounds like an important of paul's videos has gone viral. consultation we've got today. this is him laughing yes, yes, it is. with his grandchildren sandra waits. at alexa blowing wind. her husband is with his consultant, discussing the trial drug which has got them through lockdown. paul is a big man with a big laugh, but for how much longer? who's had an extraordinary life. it gave him an extra few months. do you recognise this? well, he was hoping that it would be ladies and gentlemen, an extra few months of life.

the variety playhouse. paul started his career and we've gotten from march to here, as a concert pianist. this recording is from 1964. and he's still with me. he plays uptempo classical melody. so, last october, we got through our 50th wedding anniversary. i don't know whether we'll get i love the printed word, to 51, but we'll carry on! but where the printed word stops — here's hoping. you can't describe anything any more yeah, we've not got very few weeks to go now. — music takes over, because, this this is a bonus with music, you can do whatever this year, definitely. you want with it in your mind. buying time wasn't prioritised at the peak of the pandemic, and that's how i feel about music. but there is a belief now that it i think musicjust carries on at a higher level must be prioritised going forward. than the printed word. there's pete. where? our strapline is tomorrow's medicines today. oh, my word. and that's what we're doing. that's a great picture. so that the stuff we're doing now in the ‘70s, paul became a teacher. will be the routine treatments in the next few years. together with the head of drama, pete tallman, he wrote and staged so, clearly, we've got to carry a series of school musicals. on doing what we're doing. otherwise we will stop when i taught, a new class would developing new treatments come in and they were mumbling, "oh, for cancer, which is, music," all this sort of thing. you know, can't happen. but new research, new treatments, new knowledge depend on one thing — a continuous flow of new money. and i sort of looked covid has hit the charity at them and said, "i want sector massively. certainly, within research,

you to listen to something." and i started off by playing... we are reliant on the cancer he hums match of the day theme. charities to help provide that funding that drive those projects that come up with the next cancer drug, "wow, we know that! or the the next way what's that, sir?" "you know what that is?" that we can diagnose a cancer at an earlier stage. "yes." the football theme, you see. so without that funding, and you got ‘em. we could struggle. we set up a quick video call with some of paul's former students. hello. 0k. who is this a badge of, hugo? my nanny. is this nanny? yeah. hello. i'm dominic, dominic glynn. it's because her little legs you taught me. were so short, weren't they? she couldn't put you what oh, dear. i remember you, dominic. yeah, sorry about that. yeah. on her knee, could she? you did the arrangement of something, didn't you? yeah. on television. nanny no—knees was diane horne. you did dr who. she had nine years of cancer treatment and trials at the christie before she died. there's no way i would be having her family were partway through nine charity challenges for the hospital when covid struck a career as a composer now, and the challenges stopped. if it hadn't had been for you, cancer charities predict paul. their spending on research could be halved in the next year.

you just allowed people it gave us so much, really, to use their own, you know, their own route to do music. to value and to appreciate because, potentially, you know, she would never have met her grandchildren had it not been for the christie. and that's why i felt so encouraged by the way you taught me. i don't know if you remember me. it's a very long time since you've seen me. your nanny would be killing herself laughing, my name was griffiths in those days. right now, at you, young man. alex griffiths. she would not have wanted any oh, ido. i run a charity which brings people of this to be taken too seriously. together through music. oh, dear. so i run a choir for people with and without communication disabilities. or course, these are serious issues, in serious times. but the christie say they now have much better understanding it communicates from from the heart of the virus and they are much better prepared to deal and from the soul — with whatever lies ahead, it's not from the brain, and that the pauses in treatments it's from somewhere deeper. and trials of the first wave are far and you brought that less likely to happen in the second. to your students. you're really proud of your team, aren't you? absolutely, no question about that. music: (i just died in your arms tonight. i don't think we could have done anything without the whole my name is nick eede. team, the clinicians, the managers working together. and i think a crisis like this helps your team to work together.

oh for goodness' sake. i've got pictures of you. it's been immensely challenging. we've been looking at pictures of you. we were so proud of you. it's been like nothing that we've crikey, it was wonderful. ever worked through before. but, you know, my god, you made it so inclusive that kids have we met the challenge and it's who were just sitting around, been really humbling to work you know, not really doing great in a place like this. academically, would shine on stage. i find that pretty emotional myself, you know. you gave people a chance we can speak now to professor they wouldn't normally have had. peterjohnson, who is nhs england's national clinical director wow. paul. for cancer, he also runs yes. the new taskforce that has been set it's pete tallman. up to kick—start the recovery your partner in rhyme. of cancer services across the nhs in england. welcome. blow me, peter. thank you very much for talking to i used to sit by your us this morning. it was really piano and compose. dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. interesting, hearing the end of that you didn't give me any film. this is a challenging environment for those working on it, and those who are facing cancer encouragement whatsoever! treatment and diagnosis. what are you working on to make sure that things can be improved, that lessons have been learned from the first and, at the end, we'd have something like, wave of this pandemic? thank you,

where's the sunshine? it was just a beautiful act of creation. it was a wonderful well, there is no doubt that people thing to be part of. up well, there is no doubt that people up and down the country, patients i can't tell you what this has meant and doctors looking after them, have to me, this speaking to you. worked under incredibly difficult circumstances in the last few it's been very emotional, it's been months. as we said, we have learned wonderful to speak to you all. it really has. a lot more about the virus, about how it behaves and about how we can paul's improvised piece has now keep people safe during these times. been adapted by the bbc while there was a downturn in treatment, that has picked up again philharmonic orchestra and will be and we are almost abnormal levels of played for the first time on sunday. treatment. the big problem we've got it's fantastic, and a superb is that people had not been coming orchestra playing it. forward during lockdown. —— almost at normal levels of treatment. we we are living in a very peculiar encourage people to come forward if world at the moment, they have symptoms, to see their gp and seek help. so many things have and things aren't good. not been normal, and still aren't, really. a lot of consultations are taking place by telephone or video link. but people can get in and it's very important to know that the if it gives people pleasure, or being moved health service is there for people is pleasure, that's great. and that the clinical trials that we had to temporarily interrupt while we we re had to temporarily interrupt while we were dealing with the virus are

now mostly switched back on again. i think we are at about 80% of our trials that are now open, and treating people. and that's really important for the future. as you heard, it is tomorrow's medicine. so many of the treatments we use have well, that is lovely to listen to, only been invented in the last it is just lovely to watch, as well. decade or so. and it's really vital for our patients that we keep up the effect he has had on his this pace of progress. one of the things asked was lessons learned, students. and thejoy of students. and the joy of him seeing them again because anecdotally, and there is and certain memories being triggered. it is worth saying, that piece. evidence of people who missed out on potentially life—saving cancer you can hear the first play treatment. what can be done now to of paul's piece adapted by the bbc philharmonic orchestra on bbc radio ensure that doesn't happen again, as 4's broadcasting house the pressure builds, as we have been this sunday at 9am — and we'll be hearing more about paul and his story here hearing, with more cases in on breakfast on monday. time now to get the news, hospital? it is all about keeping people safe and getting the right balance between the risks of the travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc virus and the problems it can cause to people who are having cancer london, i'm alpa patel. treatment, and the risk of the imperial college london have been carrying out tests on london's cancer getting worse. and i think we public transport to see know a huge amount more about where if coronavirus is present. the risks lie. we've done a lot of

the university scientists work with colleagues around the have been testing tube country to look at what happened air as well as swabbing trains and buses. during the first wave. we have a so far the tests have much clearer idea about which come back negative — treatments put people at particular tfl acknowledges a clean environment risk. and which ones we can safely carry on with, despite the virus is just one part of keeping safe. being around. the important thing is tourist spending in central london that we get the virus under control is set to plummet by £10.9 billion. and the distancing measures, the infection control measures which are city hall analysis has revealed overseas tourists will spend in place as we see the rising number £7.4 billion less in central london of viruses, really take effect, and in 2020, while domestic tourists we can suppress the virus in the will spend £3.5 billion less population. but we have got much better information about what as a result of the pandemic. treatments we can carry on with now. i think that is going to be the fall in spending from tourists incredibly helpful because it means is far greater than the £1.9 billion we can advise people on an loss from commuters. individual basis about whether it is safe to carry on with their the big issue magazine treatment this time. do you have a is launching a special appeal, asking londoners to support vendors figure on the size of the backlog that has been faced when it comes to this festive season. they saw a 40% drop cancer treatments? it's very in sales over the pandemic, after the huge fall in people difficult to know. the main problem, asi travelling around the capital. difficult to know. the main problem, as i said, is not that people are in the system waiting for treatment. at the publication says it could face a £100,000 shortfall in the lead up to christmas. least 90% of the downturn, and as i said, 85% of our normal levels of

north london actress treatment have taken place over the stephanie levi—john nearly gave up acting due to a bad last few months, the main reason for the difference is that we just experience with a drama school haven't seen people coming forward, in some cases. and that is the but, thankfully for her, reason we are concerned. not so much she didn't give up on her dream that there is a backlog within the system, it is that there are people and is now playing the lead role in the new series that we have not seen. and it is of the spanish princess. the programme is now much harder to know about them. but being shown in 50 countries. i had quite a bad experience we are much harder to know about them. but we a re really much harder to know about them. but we are really hoping that if people when i was doing the audition have been waiting and thinking, for a particular drama school. well, maybe i won't bother the nhs, so deflated. first of all, feeling or i've got aches and pains, or i like a massive outsider, i just felt like i just noticed some blood in my urine, did not belong. kind of remember thinking to myself, perhaps i won't bother the nhs, it if this is what the industry is like, i don't... i don't want anything is so important that we see them now to do with this. because we can do lots to help, and lots of different treatments are good for her. available. in terms of safety, the let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube — minor necessary measures now around delays on the overground between enfield town testing, covid free treatment helps, and liverpool street southbound due to train cancellations. the m25 is down to two lanes anticlockwise just after]25 for enfield, for the recovery of a vehicle. are you in a position to reassure the blackwall tunnel people that these exist and these is busy northbound on the southern approach. measures are in place? yes, we have now the weather with kate kinsella. much more available testing and we

and a tight finish with britain's because it is absolutely tao geoghegan hart hart pipped core as an issue. the issue is what is the best way in the closing stages of getting support to families? by]ai hindley. but it's dutch rider wilco kelderman and we have done that who takes the leader's pinkjersey. through the welfare system, all three men though through the support of local are in contention to win authorities, targeted measures the race overall. in schools and, above all, trying to help as many people keep theirjobs through the package of measures we've set out. infora in for a grandstand finish in the we're joined now by kevin courtney, next few days. that's all for now. from the national education union. thanks very much. very good morning to you and thank this week we've been looking you for your time this morning. we at europe's largest cancer unit — the christie hospital in manchester. spoke to stephen barclay earlier and we know how the vote went and he was we've been meeting patients and staff and hearing how they have adamant the decision had been made. been coping through the pandemic. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been we asked him if that might change taking a look at how the hospital is tackling a backlog of patients, and he appeared to rule that out at the same time as researching entirely but where do you think this future treatments. leaves the issue right now? can i at the christie, they haven'tjust fought cancer in the time of covid — start by saying i think this whole they've also fought covid. country owes a debt of gratitude to marcus rashford. a man who has got covid's not going away any time some privilege in his light but he soon, but cancer diagnosis is going to change and we need is talking about his lived experience and he is opening up a to be treating people. debate that matters. the members of in just six weeks from the start my union, teachers and support staff of the pandemic they built this have been telling the union that acute assessment ward from scratch so patients infected with the virus holiday hunger, children coming back wouldn't be denied the chance to school after the holiday, hungry,

to continue their treatment. we cannot go back to unable to concentrate, unable to get a complete lockdown. we cannot stop giving people treatment because otherwise on with their work, has been we are just creating a bigger problem. increasing. it's been a phenomenon and that's what we've been that's grown since 2010 and trying to achieve here. austerity and it's much worse now. and you could see the upsurge and so this is something that really now it's happening. oh, it is definitely happening. matters for education, the we are getting a lot government should look at this. no more patients in. mp that voted against this will be who's in today? we've got three people in at the moment. hungry tonight or hungry over the they're all at different stages of their cancerjourney, half term but there are lots of unfortunately, got covid at the same time. children who are going to be hungry the important thing is they we're able to continue and that is impacting on all of with that treatment — we've not had to stop their life, including their giving the treatment. education. this is a debate which is with a second wave already here, the christie say they are ready taking place, marcus rashford has to face it without the need to press said he welcomes the fact there is a the pause button once again — debate while he regrets the decision not just on treatment, that has been made so you look at but clinical trials. the reaction of ben bradley, the mp, let me introduce judith we just showed the tweet he put out. and her aptly named consultant. and he says he is with the this famous dr krebs. government on this, they have a that's right, yes. different position and then he said dr cancer. cani

my surname, krebs, does in fact, different position and then he said can i invite you, marcus rashford, mean cancer in german. to one of the country ‘s most exactly right. deprived schools to discuss with the head teacher who agrees with him? not many people know that. often, when people are coming to see there is a difference of opinion us, they've exhausted other about what is the best way to serve treatment options and they're looking to us to try those people who are most deprived? an experimental drug. people can have the right to any but when lockdown hit, the trials stopped. opinion they want but there are i can't actually thousands and thousands of children begin to imagine what the anxiety who will be hungry during the next would have felt like. a lifeline, for a while — week. over this half term. and other to have it suddenly snatched away. school holiday closure periods. we she'd ignored aches and pains before lockdown, have had teachers in membership of until what was cancer had spread. ourunion, have had teachers in membership of our union, head teachers who opened their school on christmas day last when we saw the first scans, year because they knew children in theirarea year because they knew children in it looked as though the dog had their area would not get a good meal. i think a lot of people who been gnawing the bones. it was extraordinary. are more comfortable in our society i just thought this do not understand the depth of the poverty that we face, we are one of was part of ageing. the most unequal countries in judith knows it is only the trial western europe. 30% of children which is buying her time. how much time? living in poverty. two thirds of she doesn't want to know. i dread the, "how long have i got?" them have a parent who is working. it's astonishing. even when people i can't begin to think about that.

and everybody‘s banned are in work, with zero—hours from asking that question, because the answer is always contracts, minimum wage, children are still in poverty and those going to be a guess. numbers are growing, getting larger and larger all the time. in some it's just bloomin' tragic. it's buying you time in lockdown. areas of the country, middlesbrough, i know! yeah, they could have its 42% of children in poverty. if you are a teacher or member of organised that better. support staff in a classroom in it sounds like an important consultation we've got today. those areas, you see those effects yes, yes, it is. really directly and they are sandra waits. impacting on children 's learning as her husband is with his consultant, well as the rest of their lives. discussing the trial drug which has it's not right we turn away from got them through lockdown. this. we have put proposals to the but for how much longer? chancellor for a comprehensive it gave him an extra few months. spending review that looks like it's been abandoned now but we think, well, he was hoping that it would be an extra few months of life. here at the national education and we've gotten from march to here, union, free school meals should be extended to everyone on universal and he's still with me. credit and that we take another 1.5 so, last october, we got through our million children in to getting free 50th wedding anniversary. school meals and we think they should do that, we think that cost i don't know whether we'll get to 51, but we'll carry on! £670 million a year, a lot of money but it's more compared to a lot of here's hoping. other figures we are talking about yeah, we've not got very

few weeks to go now. in this pandemic and it would take this this is a bonus this year, definitely. buying time wasn't prioritised children out of this situation. we think they should extend school meals to every school holiday and at the peak of the pandemic, they should do more for disadvantaged children, children who but there is a belief now that it cannot afford uniforms, there are still children who do not have must be prioritised going forward. broadband at home and so many our strapline is tomorrow's medicines today. children being sent home because and that's what we're doing. public health advice says there has so that the stuff we're doing now beena public health advice says there has been a coronavirus case so so many will be the routine treatments children trying to learn from home, we are trying to teach them at home it's is in the n it's is ext few years. and they still don't have broadband connections, they still don't have laptops or tablets and they are in the next few years. falling further and further behind so, clearly, we've got to carry on doing what we're doing. in the education stakes. we need to otherwise we will stop developing new treatments do for more for disadvantaged for cancer, which is, children than the government is you know, can't happen. currently doing. kevin courtney, but new research, new treatments, new knowledge depend on one thing — a continuous flow of new money. covid has hit the charity from the national education union, sector massively. thank you. looking at the comments, certainly, within research, the programme spoke to marcus rashford and picking up on the we are reliant on the cancer thoughts kevin was making, you know, charities to help provide that marcus rashford said himself in funding that drive those response to the mp5, he said a lot projects that come up of them are insensitive and they with the next cancer drug, or the the next way have not been through it and it is

that we can diagnose a cancer at an earlier stage. one of the reasons why people listen so carefully to what he says, it is so without that funding, a lived experience, a lived we could struggle. experience. we will follow that very who is this a badge of, hugo? closely. it's coming up to 20 my nanny. is this nanny? minutes to nine. you might remember paul harvey, who we featured yeah. on the programme a few weeks ago. he's a former music teacher it's because her little legs living with dementia, were so short, weren't they? who became an internet sensation she couldn't put you what on her knee, could she? after he composed a piece nanny was diane horne. of music using just four notes. his performance touched she had nine years of cancer millions of people, treatment and trials including some of his former students who went on to work at the christie before she died. in the music industry. her family were partway breakfast‘s graham satchell has been through nine charity challenges to catch up with paul for the hospital when covid struck for a very special reunion. and the challenges stopped. this is 80—year—old paul harvey cancer charities predict doing what he loves best. their spending on research could be halved in the next year. paul was diagnosed it gave us so much, really, to value and to appreciate because, with dementia last year. his memory is slowly deteriorating, potentially, you know, but he's found extraordinary solace she would never have in the restorative power of music. met her grandchildren had it not been for the christie. eh up, we've got company. dad has good days and bad days. you're nanny would be killing herself laughing, right now, at you, young man. bad days can be pretty grim.

she would not have wanted any if dad's looking a bit distant, of this to be taken too seriously. or feeling depressed, then i try to persuade him to get up oh, dear. and sit at the piano and play, and it brings him or course, these are serious back into the room. issues, in serious times. but the christie say they now have f natural. much better understanding he plays note. of the virus and they are much a. better prepared to deal d. with whatever lies ahead, and that the pauses in treatments b natural. and trials of the first wave are far less likely to happen in the second. a few weeks ago, nick gave his dad you're really proud of your team, aren't you? four notes and asked him to improvise a tune. absolutely, no question about that. i don't think we could have done anything without the whole he plays slow, romantic-style tune. team, the clinicians, this video has now been the managers working together. watched almost two million times on social media. i find it incredible! absolutely incredible. and i think a crisis like this helps your team to work together. it's been immensely challenging. it's been like nothing that we've ever worked through before. i wasn't trying to do a party trick. but, you know, my god, i can do that sort of thing. have we met the challenge and it's been really humbling to work and, yes, itjust took off.

since you've seen me. areas with thunder possible. eastern my name was griffiths in those days. parts on sunday will have a drier alex griffiths. day than saturday. but all will feel oh, ido. fresher. and i have to mention i run a charity which brings people together through music. sunday is the day the clocks go so i run a choir for people with and back. a weather watcher went out without communication disabilities. with his alarm clock. 2am, stick it back an hour, and it means evenings will be darker. and for those out there, the clock in the car will at last be right! such a good point. thanks. it communicates from from the heart it was a less heated affair and from the soul — than last time but donald trump it's not from the brain, and joe biden still traded plenty it's from somewhere deeper. of insults in the final televised and you brought that debate in nashville, to your students. music: (i just) died tennessee, overnight. with just 12 days in your arms tonight. until polling day, president trump insisted he was not a "typical politician" and targeted his rival my name is nick eede. joe biden's time in office — oh for goodness' sake. while mr biden attacked the president's record on racism and coronavirus. i've got pictures of you. let's speak to two american voters we've been looking who were watching closely. at pictures of you. we were so proud of you. blanquita cullum is a broadcaster and republican supporter

crikey, it was wonderful. in washington dc, and robin swanson is a strategist for you made it so inclusive that kids the democrats in california. who were just sitting around, you know, not really doing great academically, would shine on stage. i find that pretty emotional myself, you know. good morning, good evening to you you gave people a chance they wouldn't normally have had. both. the debate took place about wow. four hours ago. how do you think president trump did? extremely well, paul. yes. extremely well, because i think he it's pete tallman. your partner in rhyme. put in the idea for people that may be in the middle in the states that blow me, peter. i used to sit by your piano and compose. deal with energy a convincing dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. revelation that vice presidentjoe you didn't give me any encouragement whatsoever! biden plans to go after oil. in places like texas, oklahoma, pennsylvania, and states that have a big energy industry, whether it is and, at the end, we'd have something like, trucking, fracking, you name it, where's the sunshine? it was just a beautiful that was the big revelation. in most act of creation. it was a wonderful thing to be part of. i can't tell you what this has meant to me, this speaking to you.

cases, these debates appeal to it's been very emotional, it's been people who are supporters of wonderful to speak to you all. president trumbulljoe biden but the it really has. middle, those people who were thinking about it in states like that, they will not support vice presidentjoe biden because they will not see their careers and paul's improvised piece has now been adapted by the bbc livelihood going down the drain. philharmonic orchestra and will be played for the first time on sunday. will not see their careers and livelihood going down the drainlj wa nted livelihood going down the drainlj wanted to ask our you thoughtjoe it's fantastic, and a superb orchestra playing it. we are living in a very peculiar world at the moment, biden performed? i see things quite and things aren't good. differently and donald trump only did better this time because there was a mute button which deterred him i think was a mute button which deterred him ithink being was a mute button which deterred him i think being as rude as he was in the last debate. i will say this debate is about moving voters to the if it gives people pleasure, or being moved is pleasure, that's great. polls and so, yes, almost 50 million people have already voted. the funny thing about donald trump, he would love an october surprise but he has desensitised america and the rest of the world to any kind of scandal

that he will not get that october surprise. there was no new news here. and now the campaign goes into full gear in getting to the swing just a moment, just enjoying that. states and i think it is critical it's nice to hold that. we have had a couple of moments of calm, the for democrats, because we do not photographs early on. it is wa nt for democrats, because we do not want to repeat the mistakes of 2016, interesting how music, images and things like that can give you... a which is to win the popular vote, which is to win the popular vote, which hillary clinton did by four lot of people say, troubling times. a lot of calm. million. the key states are you can hear the first play of paul's piece adapted by the bbc important, the western and southern philharmonic orchestra on bbc radio 4's broadcasting house states. we will cover those bases. i this sunday at 9am — and we'll be hearing more about paul thinkjoe biden states. we will cover those bases. i think joe biden brought and his amazing story states. we will cover those bases. i thinkjoe biden brought a message of here on breakfast on monday. unity and talked about how he wanted to represent all americans, we were just saying, won't we? democrats, republicans, and all alongside the music, which is americans. i think a lot of that beautiful, he has one of those debate was focused on the pandemic lovely voices, a soothing and delightful voice. nice to hear. very and president trump's failures to much like matthew. nowhere near as soothing as that. address that. given the nature of the first debate and how this pans out, a different atmosphere around ican give i can give you some come from the it, did anyone get anything out of sun looking towards whitby. one of

it, did anyone get anything out of it this time round? is everyone our weather watchers. a different harking back to what happened story further west, but the sunshine will be with you later. this is the previously? yes, i think people are big picture from space at the looking at history and there is no moment. i would like to draw your attention to the cloud circulating around towards the west. a deepening area of low pressure, it could bring way this president escapes taking responsibility for the 220,000 lives fairly lively conditions this weekend. the first impact is this lost in america. i thinkjoe biden band of cloud, which has produced heavy rain in northern ireland. it did an effective job laying that at has cleared the sunshine out. rain his feet and a portion of the debate across much of scotland, clearing to was about that. but it is not so sunshine and showers. a wet morning for north west england, south—west much about moving voters from one england. that rain band is pushing category to another but about on towards the woodlands. east getting them to the polls. that is what we are going to see, a sprint anglia the one or two showers. it to the finish the next 12 days. on has been misty and murky for some. there will be some sunshine before the thick cloud across the midlands, the same thought, what do you think towards the channel late the afternoon will push through. mildest about how much difference last towards the south—east. fresh in the night's debate made? it was huge. breeze. northern england, wales on joe biden has more october the south—west, while eastern area stay dry it is almost back to square surprises, like shoes dropping from one. another band of rain pushes its a closet than imelda marcos had way in. that could be even heavier

shoes. we are talking about what is than the one we saw this morning, and this time it comes with going on with china, what happened strengthening winds. across western with ukraine. you had hunter biden scotland, we could see winter touching 70 mph in the start of the business partner was in the morning. strong and gusty wind will affect all of us. if you are on the audience, presenting information, move, ferry and bridge restrictions documents, today in the senate. you are possible, and there could be had a significant thing because disruption. trees are still in leaf, rather than from a state i grew up and the wind will be touch gale force. it's still gusty in northern m, rather than from a state i grew up in, california, you have an important issue in immigration that was not focused on as much as it ireland. as that rain pushes across could have been but it was england and wales, it is causing an significant. tomorrow is the national day of remembrance for intense burst of rain for an hour or those killed by illegal immigrants. so. the strongest and gusty is to my wind touching 50 or 60 moles per those killed by illegal immigrants. my mother was a mexican citizen and hour. all of us will see wind at i live near the border a long time. right now, the biggest thing, they gale force at some point through the day. the wet and windy weather to east anglia and the south—east as we finish the day. that is where we did not completely discuss, find the mildest of the conditions, basically talking about the 500 turning fresh from the west. through kids, but i was in the meeting this saturday night on sunday, an past week with important people on unusually deep area of low pressure between us and ice and produces some the border in texas and california ferocious conditions. with it close by, it will remain windy on sunday.

and arizona, talking about cartels we will have lost the persistent and arizona, talking about cartels rainfor we will have lost the persistent rain for the south—east corner and instead of the increase in drugs during the night, but sunday, plenty coming across it is human of showers. the strongest of the trafficking. i am a founder of wind and depart a western scotland and northern ireland. 56 mph gusts. voices against human trafficking. blustery conditions elsewhere. unlike saturday, a mixture of and if you don't believe it i could sunshine and showers, some of you bring in women from mexico dealing staying dry across central and with that and the mexican eastern areas. another thing to note government. we are going to jump in on sunday is that extra hour in bed, because time is against us. thank providing you are not working the night shift. the clocks go back up 2am. the mornings will be lighter, evenings darker. for those of you you. like me, ray, the clock on the car and if you want more analysis of last night's presidential debate — will at last be reading the right we have a podcast for you. you can hear emily maitlis time. —— hooray. and jon sopel on americast — which you can find on the bbc will at last be reading the right time. -- hooray. that is an excellent picture you're using. one sounds app. of our weather watchers talk that yesterday and had sent it in. we time now to get the news, thought that was apt, 2am, the go back. travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. what is the strategy when you get an imperial college london have been extra hour? you enjoy an extra

carrying out tests on london's public transport to see hour's sleep, you just party harder? if covid—19 is present. scientists have been for me, it is an extra hour in bed. testing tube air as well as swabbing trains and buses. for me, it is an extra hour in bed. for pa rents for me, it is an extra hour in bed. for parents with kids, it doesn't so far the tests have really matter. it is an hour extra come back negative — tfl acknowledges a clean environment of chaos. absolutely true. thank you is just one part of keeping safe. very much. this is an air sampler. when sope was growing up it's drawing 300 litres in britain 20 years ago, he faced regular racist attacks of air a minute over from children in the playground — that gauze at the front, something he says was just and what the researchers will do afterwards is take that sample away a fact of life back then. now his son isaiah is taking part in a special bbc newsround and test it for coronavirus. documentary which follows three teenagers to see whether life for them is any different tourist spending in central london from their parents' generation. let's have a look. is set to plummet by £10.9 billion. city hall analysis has revealed people decide to cross the road overseas tourists will spend £7.4 billion less in central london and carry on walking so they don't in 2020, while domestic tourists have to walk next to me. will spend £3.5 billion less i do walk around most of the time with my hoodie up and i guess as a result of the pandemic. i'm seen as a criminal, a bad person. the fall in spending from tourists is far greater than the £1.9 billion you live your life always aware that loss from commuters. something's different about you. north london actress stephanie levi—john nearly gave up i've almost kind of got used to it, acting due to a bad experience but it does affect me.

with a drama school but, thankfully i don't see why people can look for her, she didn't give up at the colour of other people's on her dream she's now playing the lead role in the new series skin and decide that, "i want to treat you differently." of the spanish princess. the programme is now i'm kind of worried that i'm being shown in 50 countries. going to go out one day, go and get a nice car and be stopped i had quite a bad experience when i was doing the audition because they don't believe that a young black man for a particular drama school. so deflated. can have a nice car. first of all, feeling i don't know what it would take like a massive outsider, i just felt like i just for the whole world just to be able did not belong. kind of remember thinking to myself, to see life from that positive point if this is what the industry of view where everyone is the same. is like, i don't... i don't want anything and we'rejoined now to do with this. by isaiah and sope. good luck to her. good morning to you both. thanks let's take a look at the travel situation now. very much for being with us on on the tube — all clear across all lines. the m25 is down to 2 brea kfast. lanes anticlockwise — just afterj25 for enfield, very much for being with us on breakfast. sope, when you heard for the recovery of a vehicle. the blackwall tunnel is busy isaiah talk about his experiences, and they reflected some of yours, northbound on the southern approach. in central london, lane restrictions when you were younger, how continue at hyde park corner from constitution hill disappointing is that for you? it's to grosvenor place for emergency gas work. very disappointing. you would hope that in that 20 year gap, things now the weather with kate kinsella.

would have changed and improved a hello, there. lot. unfortunately, they haven't. i well, it's a reasonably mild start this morning. can definitely relate to a lot of you should see some sunny spells to start with, what he was talking about. how do but then more cloud later on, you explain to your son that this with one or two outbreaks of rain. so enjoy the breaks in the cloud first thing this morning. we will see that cloud will change, or this will improve, or can you say that? i can say that, thicken through the course of the day and then, with it, some outbreaks of rain. ina sense. or can you say that? i can say that, in a sense. i think given the fact that wind becoming quite blustery through the afternoon. that he is on this programme and temperatures today getting up to having this conversation shows that somewhere between 12 and 15 celsius. there is some improvement. in my now, that band of cloud and showers day, that would never have happened. will clear first thing this evening. we'll get some clearer skies. there is some progress being made. i guess you always have to stay but then our next frontal arrives. optimistic and keep on moving forward. you can't just as it does through the early hours of saturday morning, the wind, again, will start to strengthen. optimistic and keep on moving forward. you can'tjust start and stay pessimistic. so we keep giving minimum temperature 7—9 celsius. that hope that things will get so first thing tomorrow morning, better, things are improving. yes, for saturday, of course, it's taking a long time, but you we should get a dry start with some have to keep on playing your part, bright spells and then we'll start which is what the show is about. to see perhaps one or two quite squally showers arriving on that isaiah, thank you so much for rather brisk—to—strong wind. chatting with us today. you and your gusts of maybe 40, 45 miles per hour. a calmer day for sunday. dad, can you talk to us about how but, don't forget, much you have talked with your dad, the clocks go back. sharing things that have happened to

i'm back in half an hour. you? maybe you have been out at plenty more on our website at the usual address. school, doing your thing at the now, though, it's back to charlie and naga. weekends or whatever, something bye for now. happens, over the years have you shared stuff with family? what do you get from that? there have been situations that have happened. i wouldn't say that the first thing i good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt wouldn't say that the first thing i would have done is gone to speak to and naga munchetty. our headlines today. any of my family. i usually kind of donald trump and joe biden clash bottle it up, the emotions, the in theirfinal debate before the us election — they argued over each other‘s personal tax affairs and the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. hurt, the rage. i always try to seal it away. that is why the documentary more and more people are getting better. we have a problem that's isa a worldwide problem. it away. that is why the documentary is a really good opportunity for me this is a worldwide problem. to just be able to speak, and also but i've been congratulated by the heads of many countries be able to speak with my dad. on what we've been able to do. because although we have had a you folks home will have an empty conversation about racism, i don't chair at the kitchen think we have gone into such a table this morning. that man or wife gone to bed tonight or reaching over deeper level. i tell you what, to try to touch their — think we have gone into such a out of habit — where their wife deeper level. itell you what, sope, you must feel very proud of you and or husband was is gone. your son talk that way? that's a lot learning to live with it? of wisdom for a very young man. as a come on — we're dying with it.

father, when you hear your son saying, you know, he bottled it up, wales prepares for a 17—day lockdown from this evening, he has a lot of anger and rage, as the toughest level of restrictions begin in greater manchester. that's basic, that is something that would really get to you? it definitely does. we always and as those new restrictions come encouraged him to speak up. one into force, the chancellor launches thing we have said over the years is his new, improved job support scheme. but who are the winners and the losers? places like this soft channel that rage into creativity. he used to write a lot, go in his play centre say they have a between the cracks. room and write lyrics. i would say, raising the roofe — striker kemar roofe scores this wonder goal as rangers what are you writing? he would say, begin their europa league just expressing what happened today. campaign in style. as long as you are getting it out in they're the stars posing with their eyes closed, as they "take a moment" one way, shape or form. i am proud fora new campaign of him speaking up and breaking that promoting mental health. stereotype that men keep everything bottled in. from a younger age, stereotype that men keep everything bottled in. from a youngerage, he is changing the narrative, which is and this morning lots of rain around quite good. isaiah, how important is across western areas. there will be sunshine later but get rid of their it that the conversation happened in weekend because of some strong winds terms of with you and family, not so are heading our way. i'll have all the details here on breakfast. much in that circumstance, because i think children would expect their pa rents to it's friday the 23rd of october. think children would expect their parents to encourage them to talk our top story. about their experiences. but more

donald trump and joe biden have amongst you and your friends, from clashed in their final televised all different backgrounds, actually debate before the us presidential election — which is just 12 days away. during the 90—minute event calling out horrible incidents of racism as not being ok, so you don't in nashville, tennessee — which was significantly calmer have to bottle things up? the than the candidates' first debate — they traded blows on issues including coronavirus, race, and personal finances. friends i have spoken to about here's our us correspondent racism, racist experiences, they are barbara plett—usher. mostly my closest friends, people i applause. like to see on the daily. but welcome to the stage former vice president joe biden racism, the way that black people, and president donald] trump. the sequel to the most orany racism, the way that black people, or any minority ethnicities are out—of—control presidential debate americans had ever seen turned out treated, i don't think that is a topic that is really talked about to be the kind of traditional election face—off they much in my friend group. so, what do would normally expect. you think needs to be done to make the two men started by offering sharply different visions over sure it is spoken about more?” how to handle the surge in coronavirus pandemic. think social media these days is there's not another serious such a great thing. it is such a big scientist in the world who thinks it's going to be over soon. president trump, your reaction? i don't say "over soon", platform, in such an easy way to speak out without having to go i say we are learning to live with it, we have no choice, around and knock on peoples doors, we can't lock ourselves up in a basement. and tell them about it. i thought what i would say is i'm going to shut down the virus, not the country. about just making a it's his ineptitude that and tell them about it. i thought caused the country to have aboutjust making a post, saying, i don't know, like, black people are

to shut down in large part. treated this way and it's wrong. i why businesses have gone under, thought as a collective, as a youth, why schools are closed, why so many people have lost their living. we need to make a change in stand up president trump seemed poised to take responsibility for failures with covid—19 — to that. and if one person saw that and then he didn't. i take full responsibility. and can take something away from it's not my fault that it came here, that, i thought that is a job well done, isn't it? you have spoken to a it's china's fault. lot of your role models. i think we the much—anticipated mute can look at lewis hamilton, and see button saw some action, but even when the microphones what he had to say. were open president trump held off the constant interruptions of last time. what was supposed to be a discussion racism is a pandemic that has been on national security got tangled up going on for a long time. i have a in accusations of personal corruption involving foreign governments. responsibility to help shift this so that your kids have a better future. i don't make money from china. you guys have such a bright spark. you do. i don't make money from ukraine. you guys have such a bright spark. you shouldn't have to do your lights you do. i don't make money from russia. to make people around you feel more comfortable. if anything, you need to shine your light as brightly as i have not taken a single penny you can, because you are encouraging from any country whatsoever — ever. the person next to you. just by president trump got in a couple of sharp hits. having this conversation with you, he turned a question you guys are giving me a lot of on black lives matter into an attack energy. i feel even more driven to onjoe biden's record on race do what i'm going to do. i hope i've and criminal justice reform been able to do that for you guys. and tried to use mr biden's experience in office against him. iran because of you, so, it is important that people of

iran because of barack 0bama, prominence, notjust black or ethnic because you did a poorjob. if i thought you did a good job minorities, but people prominence, celebrities, all shout out about i would have never run. this and be open to the i hope he doesn't look at me because what's happening here is you know who i am, conversation? yeah, definitely. i do you know who he is. you think... i mean, you are you know his character, you know my character. you know our reputations for honour and telling the truth. standing up and saying it? yes, i i am anxious to have this race. climate change and immigration got think it is something that needs to serious attention this time. happen, and! think it is something that needs to happen, and i think that gradually it will happen. it has been lovely overalljoe biden put in a steady performance and crucially scored points on everyday issues that catching up with both of you. thank matter to americans, like health care. you very much. a very proud dad, it's the same thing with socialising... vice president, your sope. isaiah, people will be very response, please. my response is, people deserve to have affordable health care, period. period, period, period. applause. interested in what you have to say. you can watch part two of young, president trump showed restraint black and british — hear us and so didn't do himself damage — on cbbc tonight at 6.05pm. it's also available but neither did he inflict much on the bbc iplayer. damage on mr biden, good to see some optimism that it who is the front runner. will get better. voters were the winners — with a debate focused on substance rather than being hijacked by style. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, nashville.

our north america correspondent david willis is in los angeles. good david willis is in los angeles. morning. a very diffl around good morning. a very different tone around this debate. both men still trying to win over voters, but it's late in the day, isn't it? it really is, charlie, and unsurprisingly perhaps campaign managers for both candidates are claiming victory tonight. no surprises there, you might think, were it not for the fa ct might think, were it not for the fact that both campaigns have reason to feel that their candidates did quite well tonight. president trumper‘s campaign manager said joe biden had been unmasked at a washington politician who is, as he put it, "all talk and no action." while mr biden's spokeswoman said he morning. had achieved a resounding victory this is bbc news with and that the forthcoming election the latest headlines. i am annita mcveigh. donald trump and joe biden clash would be a referendum on donald over race and coronavirus trump. donald trump of course is in their final debate before the us election. trailing in several of the key swing more and more people

are getting better. we have a problem that's states and he was looking to this a worldwide problem. this is a worldwide problem. debate to restart his campaign, if but i've been congratulated you like. joe biden was simply not by the heads of many countries on what we've been able to do. looking to worry voters over things you folks home will have an empty like his age. he is a 77. and his chair at the kitchen table this morning. mental acuity. will all this change that man or wife gone to bed tonight or reaching over anything at all? perhaps unlikely to try to touch their — out of habit — where their wife will stop 46 million americans have or husband was is gone. already voted in this election, learning to live with it? charlie, and so there is literally come on — we're dying with it. all to play for still. david, thank wales prepares for a 17 day lockdown from this evening, you very much. as the toughest level of restrictions begin in greater manchester. stricter coronavirus rules will be in force for nearly six million people in britain this weekend after greater manchester joined the liverpool city region and lancashire in england's highest tier of restrictions. this evening a 17—day lockdown starts in wales. our correspondent dan johnson is in manchester this morning, but first let's talk to tomos morgan who is in chepstow. good morning. preparation is obviously in place but life is going to change. that's right. one of the

few areas across wales that hasn't beenin few areas across wales that hasn't been in local lockdown restrictions recently. i have been speaking to some of the restaurant and bar owners here. they are a little bit frustrated, really, that they are going to get, well, not tarnished, but they will have to close because they don't feel there has been enough of a spread here to warrant the closure across the whole of wales. areas like this haven't seen a large spread, but numbers have increased in monmouthshire quite considerably over the past few weeks and days and the first minister mark dra keford has put and days and the first minister mark drakeford has put this firebreak in place which will begin from 6pm tonight, meaning nonessential retail, hospitality will close. gyms and leisure will also close for that 17 day period. they will be a few exceptions. people for care issues can mix, and people living alone can mix with one of the household. we we re mix with one of the household. we were hoping to find out they want to happen after the two—week period but at the moment we are hoping to get just a very small amount of detail, but it will be national set rules, not local, from now on. thank for taking us through that, tomos.

let's go to dan in manchester. new measures, tier 3, in place as we speak now. talk us through what difference that will make and how people are responding. yes, good morning. people here are getting used to those new tighter restrictions and you get a sense of how this will have a big impact for some people who have enjoyed going to bars and pubs, the sorts of places that are the centre of their own communities, and a lot of people out last night enjoying that perhaps for the last time sadly for the next month. the question being asked, how much longer will this go on, when will those places be able to reopen? will they reopen? welders have such a bad effect on those sorts of places? the child ren's a bad effect on those sorts of places? the children's soft play centres, as well, that may not have a future. other people said, actually, i've been staying in for the last few months anyway, this will not have a major impact on my life. but social life gets tougher, it will be more difficult see friends and family so there are more restrictions, more rules for people

to get used to as this very high alert zone spreads further and further across north and the midlands, to white damp, for the moment, thank you. the scottish government will lay out plans later today for a tiered system of restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus. unlike the english system, it will have five levels instead of three, to allow life in some parts of scotland to remain as near to normal as possible. another tier will be added at the top, featuring harsh restrictions similar to those imposed at the outset of the pandemic in march. more than a thousand businesses in blackpool have called on borisjohnson to save the seaside resort from what they describe as "catastrophic" economic damage. the town moved to the highest covid alert level a week ago. in an open letter to the prime minister, they say hotels and local attractions have seen huge numbers of cancellations for october half—term — traditionally one of their busiest fortnights of the year. the england footballer marcus rashford, who has campaigned for free school meals, has visited a new foodbank warehouse named after his mother.

it's been set up by the charity fareshare who say they are distributing double the amount of food than before the pandemic. in response, they've taken on a new depot in manchester, which has been named melanie maynard house. his visit came a day after the government voted against extending free school meals to disadvantaged children in england during the holidays. marcus rashford told breakfast he was disappointed by the reaction from some mps. people have opinions. whether or not they understand fully what the families are going through is another conversation. but, because of that, it's easier for me to sort of dismiss a lot of the people that are making those opinions, because, you know, i know for sure that a lot of them speak in the way that they speak and it's so insensitive about the issue, and they've definitely not been through it themselves. so, for me, you know, i'll take that all day long. as long as we start to see improvements, going forward, for the people that are in need of it now is what's important to me.

so i don't mind the criticism. time now is 7:11am, time for a quick look at the weather. matt has the details. how are things good morning. a wet morning but don't lose hope, it would be a wash—out. there will be a bit of sunshine at times. let me take you to the radar chart. it shows where the rain has been falling for the past few hours. it is now starting to ease from the west of northern ireland wet end to the night but quite extensively across scotland, pushing into north west england, western wales. a few showers running up through parts of the midlands towards east anglia and lincolnshire. they may come and go through the day, mist and fog there at the moment were clear. sunshine into scotland, north—west england, wales and the south—west after a speu wales and the south—west after a spell of wet weather this morning. cloud and rain, whilst it pushes southwards and eastwards, will start to diminish somewhat. my oldest towards the south—east where we

could see sunny spells this afternoon before a thick cloud, patchy drizzle arrives. it will be at the channel islands by 4pm, still across midlands and parts of east yorkshire. the bright end to the day. bit of a breeze blowing across the north and west but that will make it feel cooler than perhaps yesterday. a few showers to northern ireland and western scotland but most will see some dry and sunny weather, as well. this evening and overnight, per cloud, patchy rain and drizzle lightly clearing for the south—east, a few showers through the eastern english channel then the breeze picks up comic rain spreads into the west as we go into the start of the weekend and notjust wet into the start of the weekend. i will show you a quick look at the big chart. massive area of low pressure between us and iceland, which could bring strong and potentially destructive winds and i will have more at 7:45am. thank you. see you later. the chancellor has unveiled increased support for jobs and workers hit by coronavirus restrictions. pubs, restaurants and hotels were singled out for extra help, but it leaves many businesses

still fighting for their survival. ben's at a children's soft play business in london for us. thanks a lot of businesses, and i am trying to take you seriously surrounded by your friends there. who i am sure you will consult as the morning progresses. a lot of businesses, no matter what they are, they are scratching their heads, thinking what will the implications of the new announcements be for us? funnily enough i was just explaining to my new friends here the chancellor's furlough and job support scheme and how it will work. yesterday we had news from the chancellor they would be changes in response to calls from businesses saying they need more help. you might remember that for firms in the top tier, where they are forced to close, they get two thirds of salaries paid for by the government

for workers who cannot work because businesses can't open. but the concerns centred on those in tier two, that could open but not operate as normal perhaps because of the 10pm curfew or lack of household mixing having an impact on the business. yesterday the chancellor said they would pay two thirds of the salary and employers would only have to contribute a small amount, maybe 5%, which is more generous than thejob maybe 5%, which is more generous than the job scheme initially launched. they're also grants for hospitality and travel. all the while, there are still companies that say they fall between the cracks and they are not eligible for support. i can introduce you to a couple of them. we are in a soft play centre, one of the businesses that says it cannot operate anywhere like capacity. it probably gets 500

in here but 100 at the moment. it relies on children's parties to fill this place and they cannot do it right now. good morning to you both. let me start with you in terms of this place. you rely on people coming in and filling the climbing frame. but people say children are running around, mixing with each other, but you do not agree you should face restrictions. other, but you do not agree you should face restrictionslj other, but you do not agree you should face restrictions. i think that, as we know, transmission rates among children are extremely low, as confirmed by professor jonathan among children are extremely low, as confirmed by professorjonathan van tam recently. there have been zero outbreaks of covid in any play centre in the whole of the uk. what change would you want to hear from the government to make it easier to run your business? you talked about birthday parties being at issue, but it is the fact kids cannot mix.“

children were excluded from the rule of six, it would make it easier on our businesses to make some money. we could then do parties and run parties that account for 35% of our business. you are a freelance producer and your work essentially has dried up overnight. you are not able to get any help. explain why you fall between the cracks. unfortunately, yes, i you fall between the cracks. unfortunately, yes, lam you fall between the cracks. unfortunately, yes, i am a freelancer, but because i am not a sole trader, i am a limited company, i fall through the cracks and do not receive government financial help. the only place i could go to try to get some help was through universal credit but, unfortunately, that is a very small amount, £54 a month, which to feed a family with three children does not go a long way. so

there is no help out there for those who have fallen through the cracks and are the forgotten ones. when you heard from the chancellor yesterday, there was no particular good news for you and you put a brave face on it this morning, but it fundamentally changes your life, your house is on the market. exactly. it is great they are helping. i exactly. it is great they are helping. lam not exactly. it is great they are helping. i am not belittling the helping. i am not belittling the help the chancellor has given to businesses but the world i live in and working in the life industry, we have been forgotten, and until he recognises us as a viable business, where we can get back to work... it is illegal at the moment to get back to work, so we can't and money. many people like me have had to put their houses on the market because we cannot afford to stay there. you use the word viable and the chancellor

has suggested retraining, thinking about another career. that is not an option for you. but you have applied forjobs. retraining is not an option, unless he wants to pay me to retrain or pay my mortgage to retrain, great. but there is no help there at all. i'm sorry, i have forgotten what. .. there at all. i'm sorry, i have forgotten what... you tell me about applying forjobs. reapplying for jobs in any industry sector where our skill set is transferable is difficult, because applying for jobs, it goes through an algorithm and unless you have the buzz words, people do not look at your cv, you do not get responses, you get told you are overqualified. so trying to tell us to do a job elsewhere, we are trying. a lot of us are trying because we cannot afford to sit back and wait for the industry to come back. we need to have money coming

in. how long can you afford to wait? i cannot afford to wait. my money has gone, i have no more money. it is notjust me, it is the many millions of people out there who are having to leave this industry and possibly never come back. having to leave this industry and possibly never come backlj having to leave this industry and possibly never come back. i know it is tough and i am gratefulfor possibly never come back. i know it is tough and i am grateful for you talking about it because as you said others will be in a similar position soiam others will be in a similar position so i am grateful you have shed light on it. thank you for having is here. you get a sense from both those stories that while the government says it is making inroads to try to help business, it cannot help everyone. there are always people who fall between the cracks. what we have heard is there are so many businesses that do need help. some of them little changes, some of them quite fundamental changes, but a lot of people finding it trough through

no “— of people finding it trough through no —— tough through no fault of their own. but for industries like this, industries that are creative, entertainment, events. it is really tough. it is compelling to hear. and when you hear first—hand about the bald facts, saying i have no money, and there is a strong campaign about a group of people who feel they have been com pletely people who feel they have been completely forgotten through this process. remind us who those people are.“ is in industries that we talk a lot about, those struggling to reopen but can reopen albeit with smaller capacities. but there are so many businesses that cannot open and i am thinking about the theatre, entertainment, cinema. we know of a big cinema chain not open until next year. travel and tourism with restrictions in place and quarantine requirements. so many different businesses and that is before we get

onto business events and conferences. they cannot operate either. so many people across the industry. there has been a push for people to work for themselves but as you heard, that means there is no help when things happen like this. the idea she can getjust £54 a month in universal credit support with a family and mortgage to pay brings it home about how tough it is for a lot of people in a lot of industries. the chancellor yesterday trying to announced changes to make it easier but still a lot to fall through the gaps. we will be speaking to stephen barclay the chief secretary to the treasury in a few minutes. but we can talk now to the shadow chancellor for the labour party. let's speak to the shadow chancellor, anneliese dodds. our correspond 0ur correspond was our correspond was talking to people who are feeling this at the sharp

end, the impact what has happened to the economy. yesterday the chancellor announced new measures and said he was adapting to a changing environment. has he done enough? obviously, iwelcome changing environment. has he done enough? obviously, i welcome some of the changes made, in particular, we have warned for some time, without getting into the jargon, the scheme of wage support. that that needed to be made more flexible for employers because the evidence was very few would be using it to keep staff on andi would be using it to keep staff on and i am pleased the chancellor has finally changed tack on that. this is the third change to his winter economic plan and we are still in the autumn. around the issue of people excluded support, we did not see recognition of that which is problematic. we saw new versions of the schemes, the so—called jss for people employed and a new version of

the self—employed scheme. the amount that comes through the self employed scheme was increased by the chancellor up to 40% of people plus my incomes, but he has not dealt with the gaps problems. the social security could be fixed quite quickly, it would not necessarily even be particularly expensive to fix it, but to deal with the issues just mentioned. if people have savings, which a lot of self—employed people do have, they get knocked out of support quickly and have to wait five weeks. the chancellor could have fixed that but he decided not to do that, u nfortu nately. he decided not to do that, unfortunately. he must, as we see large numbers going into difficult situations. you know time is restricted when we do these interviews on live television. can you explain what you would do differently? you mention the social security system and not costing a lot to fix that. can you explain

that? the government has said that for people on the wage support schemes, if they are low income, they would be able to get at least 80% of the previous income back. but, actually, if you have £6,000 or more of savings, you see that amount reducing through to £16,000 roughly when you would not get any support at all. you get less support as a homeowner, if your partner has savings and is living with you. you have to wait five weeks before you can have to wait five weeks before you ca n a ccess have to wait five weeks before you can access that support. the question was what you would do differently. in that case we would not have that threshold around savings. it is a time of national crisis. we would move the threshold so more can gain access to that support. you remove the five week waiting, so currently you can

receive a loan from universal credit after two weeks. you switch that to after two weeks. you switch that to a grantand after two weeks. you switch that to a grant and prevent a lot of people getting into debt, very quickly. there are other things the chancellor needs to change urgently about his package. the fact that areas going into tier three, there is no transparency, and alleged negotiation but it seems government has decided already what support it will provide but is not being open about that, which is problematic because it slows down this process. the cbi said it slows down the process that should be driven by public health imperatives. labour said it wants a national lockdown, circuit breaker. a break. if that happens, there will be areas with low rates of infection comparatively to those in tier three, where businesses would be shut down. does that make sense at this moment, when so many are struggling? we have said

to the government we wanted to work with them to ensure adequate support was there. we have to face up to the fa ct was there. we have to face up to the fact infections are rising across the country, unfortunately. it is not something only happening in the air is already in tier three. the tier system so far has not worked to reduce infections. what we are looking at, unfortunately, given government does not seem willing to shift on this when half term is coming up, we are looking up to christmas, a difficult situation across parts of the country and that is expensive and it has a human cost in terms of level of infection, but it has an enormous economic cost because not only do we see the closure is happening anyway in a lot of parts of the country for longer periods than if we managed to get a grip through a brief circuit breaker, we see people changing consumption behaviour, so fewer

people going out to buy things. they are concerned about the economic situation. that happens more when the health crisis is drawn out and spread across the country like what we see under the government now. school meals. the labour party said they would extend them until easter. why only until easter? the pandemic looks as if it is here to stay for a while yet. also, since the vote was lost to extend free meals, what is your plan next? we think it important that we have measures focused on the pandemic period, when so many people will be in economic distress in particular, because of the impact on the labour market, because of the impact on businesses. that is what we focused on. there are issues about food poverty that are issues about food poverty that are longer running, but we are focused on the pandemic period now, because that is when so many families are up against it. we will

look at what happened during that debate, if there are other ways to ensure there is support for families, particularly during school holidays. this is not something any family wants to do, to make use of that kind of system, but so many people right now are in difficult circumstances and ultimately we should not see children suffering as a result. anneliese dodds, shadow chancellor, thank you. time now dodds, shadow chancellor, thank you. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. tourist spending in central london is set to plummet by £10.9 billion. city hall analysis has revealed spending by overseas tourists will be down £7.4 billion this year, while domestic tourists will spend £3.5 billion less as a result of the pandemic. the fall in spending from tourists is far greater than the £1.9 billion loss from commuters.

imperial college london are carrying out tests on london's public transport to see if covid—19 is present. scientists have been testing tube air as well as swabbing trains and buses. so far the tests have come back negative. tfl acknowledges a clean environment is just one part of keeping safe. this is an air sampler. it's drawing 300 litres of air a minute over that gauze at the front, and what the researchers will do afterwards is take that sample away and test it for coronavirus. the big issue magazine is launching a special appeal, asking londoners to support vendors this festive season. they saw a 40% drop in sales over the pandemic and says it could face a £100,000 shortfall in the lead—up to christmas. an actress from north london who nearly gave up on her dream beause of a bad experience

with a drama school has landed a role in a major new series. stephanie levi—john is now playing the lead role in the spanish princess. the programme is now being shown in 50 countries. i had quite a bad experience when i was doing the audition for a particular drama school. so deflated. first of all, feeling like a massive outsider, i just felt like i just did not belong. kind of remember thinking to myself, if this is what the industry is like, i don't... i don't want anything to do with this. let's take a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with kate kinsella. hello, there. well, it's a reasonably mild start this morning. you should see some sunny spells to start with, but then more cloud later on, with one or two outbreaks of rain. so enjoy the breaks in the cloud first thing this morning. we will see that cloud

thicken through the course of the day and then, with it, some outbreaks of rain. that wind becoming quite blustery through the afternoon. temperatures today getting up to somewhere between 12 and 15 celsius. now, that band of cloud and showers will clear first thing this evening. we'll get some clearer skies. but then our next frontal arrives. as it does through the early hours of saturday morning, the wind, again, will start to strengthen. minimum temperature 7—9 celsius. so first thing tomorrow morning, for saturday, of course, we should get a dry start with some bright spells and then we'll start to see perhaps one or two quite squally showers arriving on that rather brisk—to—strong wind. gusts of maybe 40, 45 miles per hour. a calmer day for sunday. but, don't forget, the clocks go back. i'm back in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty.

businesses are getting to grips with the new support measures announced by the chancellor yesterday to help workers affected by covid restrictions. it follows criticism that not enough was being done to help firms. let's speak to the chief secretary to the treasury, stephen barclay. thank you very much for your time this morning. good morning. there has been widespread praise for the move that rishi sunak, the chancellor, has brought in, including in some parts of the labour party, the opposition, but questions about the timing. my first questions about the timing. my first question to you is... if someone has lost theirjob or being made redundant in the past month, five weeks, six weeks, it will be no comfort to them that these measures have been brought in now. well, if someone has lost theirjob obviously thatis someone has lost theirjob obviously that is a deeply disturbing issue and it is why in the summit we set

out through the some economic update the infrastructure spending to get those greenjobs, sojobs in infrastructure, the training, the doubling of work coaches, apprenticeships and so forth. but in terms of, has theirjob at last been a consequence of the announcement been yesterday as opposed to earlier? the answer is no because the furlough scheme is still in place, the furlough scheme runs from eight months until the end of october, the self—employed income scheme is still in place. so the support has been in place. what we we re support has been in place. what we were discussing and what the chancellor was setting out is that future support went the furlough scheme ends. there is a key distinction between the support we've had in place, notjust follow on self—employed, but the tax deferral is, the measurements to support tax law that were set out by the chancellor in his winter plan. as we come to what we recognise will

bea as we come to what we recognise will be a difficult winter, having further support for those businesses that are forced to close and therefore we support measures by the government stepping in with further support, the two thirds support the chancellor has announced, but also recognising for many businesses, evenif recognising for many businesses, even if they are not required to close, they are impacting the knacker impacted by restrictions and thatis knacker impacted by restrictions and that is why the further measures we re that is why the further measures were set out yesterday. the timing issue here, is relation to when decisions were being made by companies about redundancies, about what they could afford to do. when they were making those decisions, looking ahead to the end of furlough, which is now, they did not know that the chancellor was going to come up with this plan. he was adamant that the plan was in place and that is what would stay. had they known what we know now they would have tried to keep the stuff on, isn't that the reality? the reality is that the winter plan that

will set out on the 24th of september was drawn up with business leaders and the trade unions. it was widely supported by business leaders at the time. what has happened since is that the path of the virus has changed, it's got worse. so through the summit we saw consumer coming back, the economy starting to reopen comic gdp after a massive drop, 20% in quartet two, coming back and confidence coming back. regrettably the path of the virus has deteriorated. it is right that the chancellor listens to that, listen to business concerns and so having worked with business leaders in a drawing up the winter plan at the end of september we then listen to the concerns about further issues arising and that is why we have added further support through the announcement is the chancellor has set out and white business leaders have recognised that what the chancellor has done will save many morejobs but we

chancellor has done will save many more jobs but we can't save every job. ifi more jobs but we can't save every job. if i may, on more jobs but we can't save every job. if! may, on the issue of timing, when the government was negotiating with manchester, andy burnham, did those negotiators know the chancellor was intending to come up the chancellor was intending to come up with a plan he has now? you will be well aware that andy burnham has said that, if they had said this was coming upjust said that, if they had said this was coming up just days later, said that, if they had said this was coming upjust days later, the said that, if they had said this was coming up just days later, the whole stretch of banks and argument between them could have been saved. was this a secret, did they not know? know, the reason we were able to reach constructive deals with the mayors of liverpool, the leaders of lancashire... mayors of liverpool, the leaders of lancashire. .. if i may, i am mayors of liverpool, the leaders of lancashire... ifi may, i am asking about manchester. it is very releva nt, about manchester. it is very relevant, charlie, because the point is that the mayor of greater manchester wanted something better than he thought the mayor of liverpool or the leaders of lancashire should receive. what we have done from a government point of view is apply consistent national

policies to support individuals through the furlough scheme, now the job support scheme, and through the extension of the self—employed income support. from what i understand from those negotiations, andy burnham was asking for many of the things which just days later the government suddenly pulls out of its pocket. the point being that if the government knew they were going to make these changes, why did they not bring them forward in those negotiations? i think, bring them forward in those negotiations? ithink, charlie, it is confusing two different points. there's the issue in terms of the support we have to authorities, including the support for businesses through business grants, with the measures offered to individuals throughout the uk, notjust in manchester or liverpool, through initially at the furlough scheme and the self—employed income support scheme, and then through the replacement to those in terms of the job support scheme and be extended self employed income support scheme. there are measures that pigment has set out to individuals, those workers in businesses which are

forced to close and those businesses where they are able to open but the consequence of the virus means the business is impacted, so they can come backjust one day a week. that is different to the issue with the negotiation with manchester, which was where the mayor of manchester wa nted was where the mayor of manchester wanted something over and above what was on offer. very keen, if i may... in the short time that is available, you mentioned individuals. a few moments ago here on breakfast we heard from a freelance producer and she is one of those who says she has received nothing so far and is to received nothing so far and is to receive nothing from the chancellor now, have a listen to what faye davies fuller said. i cannot afford to wait. my money is gone, i have no more money. and it's not just me. it's the many millions of other people out there who are

having to leave this industry and possibly never come back. so to put this in some kind of context, she told us this morning that she has put her house on the market, received no money because she falls through the cracks. one off, we understand, 3 million people who have received nothing. i wonder if you could address directly as to why it is the government is doing nothing for her and people like her. i would make two points. firstly, the government is doing things because it is a comprehensive package, it is not about looking at one individual scheme. for example, £9 billion of additional funding have been put into our welfare system. we have put 3.7 billion and is now a further £1 billion into local authority support. we have put support into schools, such as the billion pounds to help people catch up. there is a range of schemes we have brought forward. in terms of the excluded campaign, which i know is extremely contentious issue, if you look at the national audit office report that has been

published today, what the national audit office, which is independent of government, says, is that the government deserves credit for the speed with which we brought forward schemes, but there is a balance between speed and ensuring we have the right safeguards in place to prevent risks of fraud. and so it is about getting the balance right and thatis about getting the balance right and that is why the schemes were done at pace and designed in the way they were. but it is not that if someone doesn't qualify for one scheme they don't get any support at all, because there is a comprehensive package of measures. business grants, tax deferral, business rate loa ns grants, tax deferral, business rate loans are. i think some people listening to what you have just said, given what we heard from an individual who has received nothing, no matter what you say, she has received no money. throughout this whole process. she pulled through the cracks. and your response is that the government deserves credit? and she is missing something? i don't understand your response because this is a real person and a real circumstance. you misrepresent

what i'm saying. what i was saying that there is a balance when we designed the scheme between the speed at which we deploy that scheme and the controls and checks we put in place to protect the taxpayer. i was referring to the national audit office report that has come out today. you are right in terms of the wider issue with there. it is about what measures we can take to support. one of the areas we did was mortgage holidays, ensuring that people who can look —— people who cannot afford their rent are protected. the point i'm making is it is not about looking at only one scheme, but the £200 billion of support that government has allocated. that signifies the scale of intervention that the covenant has made, and where people have not qualified for one scheme, often there is other support, including through the welfare system, where an extra £9 billion of support been allocated. it is a point you made a mum to go. one last question if i may. this is in relation to free school meals. rishi sunak made much

of the fact that they will adapt. the covenant will make decisions according to the decisions. we know that mps voted against the extension of free school meals. are you adamant that that will hold? looking ahead to the months ahead and hardship that borisjohnson said lies ahead, are you adamant that the government will not change its mind in relation to free school meals and extension? well, the issue is important and it is right we support children and families through hardship. the question is, what is the best way of doing so? what we have done is we have allocated an additional £9 billion through the welfare system, allocated £1 billion to schools, 350 million of that ring fence for disadvantaged children. we work with people at the sharp end in terms of supporting the most impacted families and given additional support for local authorities. the issue is what is

the best way of supporting families in need? we recognise, whilst the schools were closed, there were specific exceptional circumstances, but now the schools are back, that has changed. it is important we get the right support, and actually the best way of supporting families is to keep as many people as possible in theirjobs. ]ust to keep as many people as possible in theirjobs. just to concentrate on the issue... if you see... if your government response to things and you see there are children from disadvantaged backgrounds with not enough food, would that be a government decision that would be reconsidered? well, we keep all things and part of the announcement yesterday was we keep all issues under review is. the design and the measures we have taken. for example on housing support, lifting the allowa nce to on housing support, lifting the allowance to the third, the lowest in terms of rent, to cover a much wider range of benefits. that is again about supporting families through the welfare system. it is

important we support families in need, that is why we have allocated £9 billion of additional funding through the welfare system, it is why we have spent over £200 billion as part of our response to covid. we have put measures into schools specifically to support disadvantaged children because it is absolutely core is an issue that the issue is, what is the best way of getting support to families? we have done that through the welfare system, the support to local authorities, targeted measures in schools and above all trying to help as many people keep theirjobs. stephen barclay, appreciate your time. thank you. the chief secretary to the treasury. good morning, matt is taking a look at the weather. gorgeous picture behind you. good morning. good morning. it sums up today, a mix of everything with heavy rain this morning particularly across western areas but a wash—out of a

friday with sunshine at times also. so pick your time right as you head outside. what we have is this out in the atlantic with swells of cloud, low pressure, it will turn lively as we head into the weekend. the first taste is the heavy rain across parts of scotland, clearing northern ireland and pushing into north—west england and north and west wales. it will turn lighter as it pushes towards the north—east of england and midland and away from the south—west in the afternoon. showers this morning in parts of east anglia and the south—east. fog will clear. the best of the sunshine to the north and the west second half of the day. some showers in the afternoon. feeling fresher here as the breeze picks up later. overnight rain in east anglia and the south—east for a time. the weather

like last night, spreading into the west. this time it will come with stronger winds, which could touch 70 mph in the western isles of scotland overnight. all will see strong winds this weekend. be wary, there could be travel problems with branches down and minor damage. strongest winds will be on saturday for meny. this rain moving eastwards but will stay heavier longer. parts of england and wales will see bursts of rain and the brighter colours indicate short, intense bursts, where we see the strongest of the wims, up to 60 mph. widely seeing winters touching gale force across the uk. temperatures up to 18 in the south—east before the rain arrives later. around 10—11 in the north and west and feeling fresher on sunday. saturday, in the evening very wet.

the rain will clear. with low pressure close by, sunday another windy day particularly to the north and west where we see the showers most frequent. sunday, sunshine and hit and miss showers. showers in southern and western areas. some eastern areas will stay dry and feeling fresh in the breeze. i must remind you, sunday, clocks will go back. the sunset as we go into sunday and beyond moving that little bit earlier. penzance, setting around ten past five. that is how it's looking. we were having a debate earlier. did you say that at seven o'clock it would still be dark outside the studio? technically it was quarter to. you said at seven o'clock.

it is pitch black still. you said it would be dark at seven o'clock. that is because it is wet. the cloud keeps it darker. but the morning is a little brighter next week, for a time. are you being diplomatic again? very diplomatic. i love you both. what have you got? dan walker spoke about spectacular goals. we need a new word now. he called it a thronker. it was one of those sporting moments that will be played again and again, and will define the career of kemar roofe. playing for rangers, in belguim, he first of all beats seveal he first of all beats several players on a mazy run, before, from 54.6 yards out, inside his own half and the furthest distance ever, for a goal scored distance ever for a goal scored

in the europa league — and it was in injury time — to seal the win over standard liege. one of his tean—mates and manager said it was one of the greatest goals ever. he's played it down, saying it doesn't get you any more than a tap—in. that goal compounded a miserable night for celtic. mohamed elyounoussi gave the scottish champions hope of a fight—back against ac milan but, despite late pressure, they lost 3—1 in the end. there was a win for spurs. heung—min son getting the final goal in their 3—0 win against lask. an impressive debut for new striker carlos vinicius too. he set up two of the goals. a first start, too, for gareth bale — some strike force coming together at spurs. 3,000 fans saw arsenal come from behind to beat rapid vienna in austria. david luiz levelled the game. pierre emerick—aubameyang completed the comeback.

a convincing win for leicester, too, as they beat ukrainian side zorya luhansk 3—0. kelechi iheanacho set up the first two before scoring their third. a great night overall apart from celtic. in rugby, wasps exeterfinal goes ahead after what's got enough players. they will be weakened against the european champions. the problem is covid? yes, either affected directly or self—isolating. maybe the university will be the spurn. a big weekend ahead with the six nations returning tomorrow. thanks. when we take a picture of someone with their eyes shut, it's usually classed a mistake. but one celebrity photographer has been deliberately asking his subjects to close their eyes, and capturing the results. now he's put those images into an online exhibition — called take a moment — in aid of the mental health charity mind. here's just a few of them.
