has been a tough time for everybody but we'rejust going has been a tough time for everybody but we're just going to keep trying began in wales, which will last to support our local community the until the 9th of november. best way we haven't can and 1.4 million people in south yorkshire have moved hopefully will supporters as well. into england's top level — what sort of response are you having tier 3 — leading to the closure of pubs and bars for the local community? we have had unless they serve meals. a fantastic response so far. lots of people ringing up to see if they can residents of coventry, book tables, lots of positive stoke & slough now face tier 2 comments on social media, it has restrictions due to rising infection rates — whilst nottinghamshire is in talks about moving to tier 3. been really, really good. better than we thought. our political correspondent jessica parker explained that the government's support to those families comes through funding local authorities. i spoke to her earlier. we've seen a number of conservative mps coming out today sort of defending their stance, i think earlier i spoke to councillor shaffaq mohammed, who leads possibly, to some extent, in the lib dems on sheffield city council. he said he wanted clarity reaction to that pressure and what they are saying and the government is saying is they are providing for sheffield's residents. support for money to local councils look, i think sheffield's been and those local councils can do more in a very difficult place for the last two weeks in terms targeted long—term action and that of high infection rates. clearly something had to be done. is in itself more effective in i'm not really convinced by these tiers, helping low—income struggling if i'm going to be honest with you. what is the difference families. however, one particular conservative mp who has come under between tier 2 and tier 3? how on earth do you move fire as ben bradley, the from tier 2 to tier 3? conservative mp for mansfield, and no one has yet to explain that thatis conservative mp for mansfield, and that is left on social media he to me, but i think what we do need appeared to suggest that free school

is some action in sheffield, meals meant in some cases money and that's why i am keen to save lives and actually bring effectively going to crack dens and that certainty to people, brothels. he has been speaking to because this has been hanging over bbc today and says his comments were us for the last ten days, whether we're going to go from tier taken out of context. there are kids 2 to tier 3. who live in really chaotic you mentioned the uncertainty. situations, really difficult lives, how confident are you that people where actually giving them an not only understand the rules unrestricted voucher to spend on and restrictions but also will comply with them 7 whatever isn't helpful. the point well, at the moment, i'm making is we need to wrap our it seems that there's a lot arms as a society of those families. of confusion about what the actual that's why government is giving legislation is, so what's been said, there's money to local government because they are the best place to so i know earlier this week working with services and schools to the leader of the council be able to find those families and here in sheffield was talking about the fact that bingo target them to help them any more halls were being closed, kind of holistic way than meal but when i looked at the legislation there were no mention of bingo halls in south yorkshire closing, vouchers. meanwhile, only different but when i looked at the legislation subject, labour is also pressure, further in manchester it isn't it? yes, so this goes back to did say bingo halls, so there's some confusion from the government's point of view in terms of what it's doing, a different debate because mps and it's clearly affecting debated free school meals this week confidence in business here. a lot of businesses are just wanting but they also debated the money to know whether they're available for tier 3 areas, those in going to be able to open and, if so, how can they open, higher level of restrictions, and what safety measures do they need? during that debate angela rayner,

lets talk a little bit the deputy leader of the labour party was heard to utter word "some" about clarity, because tier 3 restrictions will last for 28 days while... was speaking. she later and then they'll be reviewed, won't they? apologised. quite a large number of how clear are you about what it will take to get out of tier 3? i am absolutely in the dark. conservative mps have now written to i'm angry with the government, keir starmer calling him to but i'm also very disappointed apologise because they say the with the mayor here in sheffield comment made by his deputy resulted and the four leaders of rotherham, sheffield, doncaster in widespread abuse towards members of our passes i think what that and barnsley council. tells you as it is quite a fraught week in parliament. jessica parker they've gone into this deal with the government to go into tier 3, but nobody knows what's there. actually triggered it, 35 of the uk's leading cultural so the first question you asked me organisations and venues will be about moving from tier 2 to tier 3, the first to receive grants but the question is, at what point will be out of tier 3? between one and three million pounds no one's been able to answer that question. from the government's £1.57 billion even the mayor now is coronavirus culture recovery fund. asking that question. well, the mayor should £75 million will protect some have asked that question of the nation's most when he was negotiating significant stages including with the government. for the last ten days. newcastle theatre royal, birmingham hippodrome and sha kespeare's globe. earlier i spoke to margaret and it's really difficult. casely—hayford cbe, chair how can i motivate my residents of the board of trustees here in sheffield and say, look, for shakespeare's globe. she told me she was delighted make some personal sacrifices and grateful to have been awarded for the next 28 days and then £2.98 million pounds. we'll come out of this

because we'll hit this benchmark. even though we've been really there is no benchmark of coming out of tier 3 that i'm aware of, prudent, we trimmed our costs just as there doesn't seem to be any dramatically, well, not trimmed, we benchmark of coming from tier 2 to tier 3. cut them dramatically, we had basically chomped through our there's a lot of confusion and i'm reserves and we were basically eight disappointed that locally and despite making a lot of noises the mayor is now asking the same questions that i was asking him a week ago and i think it's not because i'm asking the questions so reserves and we were basically eight so it really is vital and i can't it's because people in sheffield, say how much of lifeline it is because essentially we are going to barnsley, rotherham and doncaster need to ask that, have to think long and hard about need that certainty about what they have to do to bring how we prepare to be open in due the infection rates down. course when we can open, because we now, look, you could have a number don't have state funding, and i of measures and i can sew some of you that i'll be looking for. don't have state funding, and i don't think many people realise that before we started to make our case the new case rate, for example, could be one we could have. to the dc n s, that we are the rate of increase could be independently funded. if we don't another, and, in particular, the rate of increase in over 60s open, we don't have the revenue, so and how many of those people as soon as lockdown hit, that was are going into hospitals and obviously the tragic number it. that was the end of our revenue. of deaths that i've seen,

and i've seen first—hand so it's been a very tough time for from my own immediate extended family, we've lost people here in sheffield, i've also lost us. and what will the money be spent friends where live locally, my mother there has on? because i have talked to some died and i see this. this is raw, this is personal. organisations who have admitted that a lot of it will end up going on it's not something happening to somebody over there it's rents and rates in staff costs happening to people i know in my home city that's rather than necessarily on what been my home notjust for me people will see on stage, so how but for my father and grandfather for the last 50 years. will you divvy it up, for want of a a sheffield counsellor there. better phrase? well, to survive. i mean, it's all of those things. of ——a sheffield councillor there. course it is the rent on the rates president trump has cast his vote in the upcoming us election. and so on because we have actually early voting has begun in the states two theatres but we also have of new york and florida — where mr trump voted. coronavirus fears have driven a record 50 million american voters education and rehearsal to cast early ballots, establishments because we actually in person or by mail. it was a very secure vote. run workshops for schools, we also much more secure than when you send in a ballot, i can tell you that. have graduate and postgraduate everything was perfect, very strict. very by the rules. facilities, so we are more than one when you send in your ballot it could never be like that, theatre, they are the vents to pay, it could never be secure theatre, they are the vents to pay, the race to play, there's a hint of like that, but they've done that and of all the administrative a fantasticjob over here, great people inside. and technical people who run the but it is an honour to be voting, organisation and help to create the

it's an honour to be in this great magic along with all the creatives area, which i know so well. and wonderful people who come i hear we're doing very well together to make it happen so there in florida and we're doing is an enormous amount that we need very well, i hear, every place else, to do to stretch this money so even so thank you very much and you're though, you know, it isjust under going to be very busy today because we are going £3 million, sand is an enormous to work you hard. who did you vote for today? i voted for a guy named trump. amount of money and ordinarily, in laughter. thank you very much, everybody. the good old days, when we had a £25 our washington correspondent lebo diseko explained why trump chose to vote in florida. he is resident there. he has a home there. million turnover, that's what we needed to keep the show going for he was resident in new york before and he changed to florida but, yes, it is a very important state. just over a month so now we've got to try to stretch that for as long 29 electoral college as we can as long as we can get votes and, as you know, that is what wins the election here. injuries backing in the normal way and, as you know, even if we were to it's not who has the popular vote, as hillary clinton will have learnt, it is who gets the most number open now and welcome people back if of electoral college votes and the race is to 270. they were bold enough to combat, which hope they will be seen as they so donald trump is going on to a number of other states can, we have still got to socially later on in the day. he'll be in north carolina, distanced, which means that they wisconsin and ohio as well, all key battle ground states, and joe biden will be can't have a normal capacity by any in pennsylvania, which the trump stretch of the imagination that we campaign have said, they win that,

they win the election, so that's how would ordinarily need to bring in the revenue. white is the important that state is. difficulty, isn't it? that social lebo, we heard president trump distancing stops most theatres, saying there, "i hear we're doing very well in florida." do the polls bear that out? including yours, staging effectively economically viable events. when do you think you might be able to well, looking at the poll reopen? well, we have been talking aggregates, joe biden isjust about trying to get something for marginally ahead in florida, i.5% ahead in florida, christmas but what we have got but so that's an aggregate. it is still fairly close, we definitely would like to pilot is so we don't know how it might turn out on the actual day, but, yeah, it's not quite as rosy a picture as donald trump a sort of screening so that it's like a socially distanced screening really wanted to portray, within the theatre complex. we are but that is why he's in florida. he's trying to shore up his base. going to trial in the first week of he's also trying to encourage new voters or people who may have november to see how that goes on been wavering to vote for him. help him warm to that contexts and then we have been talking about, we had plans for something at christmas interestingly, he spent yesterday, he went to one of the largest and we were trying to do that people retirement communities in the country. older people are much more, really just are alive to the fact very highly represented in florida, that we are still around and we can they‘ re really important voters

get our supporters, really, that we are still around and we can get oursupporters, really, back that we are still around and we can there, so he's really pushing that. get our supporters, really, back and our audiences back as soon as we can but we have a seasonal calendar, as you can imagine, because our main theatre is open—air, and so we look to start, in earnest, in april. that's when the open air theatre starts, because, obviously, for reasons of whether, and we want to come back with all guns blazing then. maggert casey heyford from shakespeare's globe. then. maggert casey heyford from sha kespeare's globe. that's then. maggert casey heyford from shakespeare's globe. that's catch up with all the weather news now.

good evening. millions more people are now living under the highest level of coronavirus restrictions in england as the number of cases continue to rise. just after midnight, around 1.4 million people in south yorkshire — including doncaster, rotherham and sheffield — joined the tier 3 alert system. no household mixing is allowed and much of the hospitality industry has had to close. with lancashire, greater manchester

and the city of liverpool region, it brings the total number of people in england subject to the tightest restrictions to over 7.3 million. the labour mayor of sheffield city region has urged the government to set out precisely how the area will exit the new restrictions. fiona trott reports. nervously watching, and waiting, for what happens next. these days it's not so different in the human world. it's definitely made us think of where we go and what we do, as a family. we do a lot more outdoor things as opposed to indoor, just so we can be away from people. i think there's a lot of vulnerable people. that could be affected quite hugely by this, so i think if everyone does their part, the sooner we get it over and done with, the quicker we'll be on the other end, ithink. and in the meantime this wildlife park is a welcome distraction. but from today strict travel guidance means it can only rely on local people. but is it enough to keep it going? looking forward, it's a really scary

time for us, as you can imagine. all these wonderful animals that were entrusted into our care, we need to make sure they are kept safe and their welfare is not impacted by covid. it's important that people can come to us so the money keeps coming in so we can keep looking after these wonderful animals. how different it feels in the city centre. this pub has been forced to shut. very stressful. and sad. it's notjust the business that is at risk. dave lives here too, but he's still thinking of others. the customers miss us. we miss them. we usually do the shopping for some of them. we're going to be limited now because we can't go to their house. we'll have to leave it outside the door for them. which a lot of people do anyway. but that's the type of person we are. you know, we are a community. you just don't know if you're coming or going. it feels like the world's coming to an end slowly. it really does. it should never have happened in the first place. we should have stayed in lockdown

all them months ago. but for the next month it's about making the most of what they can do. it's just nice to come out and try and have, you know, family time, and a sense of normality, especially for little ones. while some are used to the cold weather, others are now embracing it — the new way to live life in south yorkshire. fiona trott, bbc news, doncaster. in wales a new national lockdown is into its first full day. over three million people are being asked to mainly stay at home for the next 16 days to try to slow the spread of coronavirus. supermarkets are still open but there's been confusion over rules banning the sale of nonessential items. our wales correspondent, tomos morgan, reports from caerphilly. there's a sense of deja vu in wales today. as the firebreak starts, the country is back under national lockdown for the next two weeks. caerphilly was the first area in wales to be put under strict local measures at the start of september, meaning it's been illegal for households to mix

and for people to enter or leave local lockdown areas without good reason. we need it. if it's going to stop the spreading, ok, it might hurt the economy, but they're doing it for a reason at the end of the day. ithink, you know, six weeks of a lockdown, itjust seems like a long time, do you know what i mean? it just seems never—ending. the rules now are much like in march. all nonessential businesses have been closed. but, this time around, those that are open have been stopped by the welsh labour government from selling nonessential goods. the new rule, though, has sparked frustration and confusion. we've got things like hardware. there's a little bit of gifting, cards, all the usual things you'd expect to see in a supermarket, and, you know, i'm sure that's replicated up and down the country, so not only are we possibly not allowed to sell those going forward, it's how we would go about doing that. it's estimated that this firebreak could cost the welsh economy a further £500 million.

so what retailers, hospitality, cafe, bars and restaurants will want from the welsh government is a guarantee, or at least a strategy for reopening, so they can make some profits again in the run—up to christmas. tomos morgan, bbc news, caerphilly. and you can find out the restrictions in your area by going to bbc.co.uk/news and entering your postcode in our coronavirus postcode checker. with all the sport now, here's jane dougall at the bbc sport centre. good evening. a remarkable goal from west ham's michail antonio gave them theirfirst point against manchester city in four years. the 1—1 draw at the london stadium means city drop to 12th in the premier league table. austin halewood watched the action. in need of a win, there are few stadiums manchester city would rather visit. pep guardiola's side have won all five of their matches at the london stadium, scoring 22
