hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. coronavirus measures are hardening across europe as countries struggle to come to terms with rising infections. in the latest developments: spain's prime minister pedro sanchez has ordered a night—time curfew effective immediately from 11 this evening and lasting until 6 in the morning. from monday, all bars and restaurants in italy will close from 6pm. people will be also be barred from eating or drinking outside at that time. the measures will last a month. italy reported yet another record breaking tally for new infections on sunday.

so too did the netherlands where cases exceeded 10,000. and in france cases topped 50,000 sunday, breaking yesterday's record daily increase in the uk there were nearly 20,000 new infections reported on sunday, down slightly from saturday's count. we start our coverage in madrid.... and this report from our europe correspondent, guy hedgcoe. seven months after spain's government introduced a state of emergency to tackle coronavirus, it is doing so again. in the spring, the measure was used as a legal framework to implement a strict national lockdown. this time, the measures will not be quite as tight, although a national curfew is being introduced. translation: the freedom of movement of people is prohibited from 11pm to 6am throughout the country. it will only be possible to circulate in this time zone

for the justified reasons established in the regulation. for example, to acquire medicines, to carry out one's work or professional obligations, to return home or take care of adults or minors. also, local authorities will be able to restrict movement between regions and take other measures they deem necessary. spain has become the first european country to surpass one million cases of covid—19. there is concern that in some areas, such as the northern region of la rioja, high infection rates are putting renewed pressure on health care services. across the mediterranean in italy, cinemas, swimming pools and gyms are being shut down, while bars and restaurants will have to close by early evening. the measures were agreed between the prime minister, giuseppe conte, and regional leaders as a resurgence of the virus has pushed daily infection rates to new records, with over 21,000 new cases reported on sunday. translation: managing the pandemic

means to permit to our medical system to give a prompt response, guaranteeing cure and proper hospitalisations to all citizens, it means to prevent a second complete lockdown like the one we had in spring. the country cannot afford it. but as the government in rome attempts to stop the spread of the virus across italy, the prospect of renewed restrictions on daily life and business is not without opposition. in rome, supporters of the far right scuffled with police enforcing a night—time curfew. these protests, while limited, underscore the balancing act that italy and the rest of europe must face to control the virus while sustaining their own economies. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. let's turn to a developing story now... the bbc has been told that the military operation onboard a tanker in the english channel has now been successfully completed, with seven individuals arrested.

the nave andromeda is in waters off the isle of wight. it's thought stowaways were causing problems for the crew of the vessel, which had left lagos in nigeria in early october. let's talk to our correspondent duncan kennedy, who is nearby at lee—on—the—solent. a dramatic day on the andromeda, what more can you tell us? it really has been an extraordinary few hours, ending with a special forces raid on this tanker behind me. that raid involved four helicopters with themes of what is called sports —— special boat service, sps, based about 50 miles down the coast and landed on the deck of the vessel and therefore helicopters and used what was described as overwhelming force to retake the ship. they detained seven individuals. we are told the

whole operation only took around nine minutes. so very quick operation. highly proficient and professional service, the sps, well known in many parts of the world. we are also told no members of the crew we re are also told no members of the crew were hurt during this operation. it was authorised by the home secretary and the defence secretary earlier this evening, at the request of the local police force, hampshire police. presumably in the intervening hours, and operation was planned and eventually executed this evening. it is not clear what is happening with those seven individuals, though they have since been taken off the tanker and brought ashore. or they are still on board. it all began at nine o'clock, local time, when the crew reported there was some kind of confrontation stowaways on board. they knew they we re stowaways on board. they knew they were there, but for some reason they became violent towards the crew, which led the crew to take refuge in a special lock—up room on board the

ship. the use it to protect themselves against pirates on the high sea. they were then able to alert the authorities. a couple of coast guard helicopters were sent out to assess the situation. at some point the police decided they weren't happy with what was going on, contacted the authorities, the government and the special operation was authorised. tonight both the home secretary and the defence secretary have issued statements thanking the armed forces further operation, and making sure that nobody was hurt in the situation. so seven people were detained within nine minutes. that is incredible. what more can you tell is about the safety of the crew during this operation? can we take from that that the captain had lost control of the vessel? we don't actually know the vessel? we don't actually know the details of what happened. the ship had been sailing from lagos in nigeria to southampton here. it was due in earlier this morning. we've been told by sources that the crew

knew the stowaways were on board, seven of them. which in itself is extraordinary. they have sailed all the way from africa to southampton with stowaways on board. there was this confrontation between the stowaways on the crew. obviously the crew had procedures, because they have the special lock—up room that the use to take, make themselves safe from attacks by pirates on the high c. safe from attacks by pirates on the high c. and where they are able to community were shore—based authorities. what happened after that, we simply don't know. whether the stowaways try to get into that room 01’ the stowaways try to get into that room or whether they tried to do something else, those details haven't been released. clearly hampshire police were not satisfied and were concerned about the safety of the crew enough to call in military hero. that is what happened in spectacularfashion. military hero. that is what happened in spectacular fashion. —— military hero. that is what happened in spectacularfashion. —— military help. one imagines, we don't know, one imagines the special forces have

descended from these helicopters. the practice this a lot, they are highly professional. they know what they're doing and were able to overwhelm the stowaways. it seems relatively easily and they minutes. we don't know whether the stowaways we re we don't know whether the stowaways were armed or like that. the utmost professionalism to execute it so quickly and make sure the crew members were safe and well. thank you for bringing us up to speed on that. riot police in belarus have fired stun grenades at demonstrators in the capital, minsk, hours before the expiry of a deadline set by the opposition calling on the country's long—term leader, alexander lukashenko, to resign orface a general strike. more than 100,000 people are estimated to have joined the protests. the belarussian opposition leader in exile, svetlana tikhanovskaya, said the authorities had shown they were only capable of violence, and that the threatened strike would start on monday. from moscow, here's

stephen rosenberg. this was the moment the centre of minsk descended into chaos and violence. banging what you can here are song and inspired by the riot police. what you can see is blind panic. anti—government protesters run for cover. they come out to deliver an ultimatum. either alexander lukashenko agrees to resign or from monday there will be a nationwide strike. from the authorities, the response, as you can see, was no. police sparked terror as they hunted down protesters in apartments.

earlier, tens of thousands had taken to the streets to accuse lukashenko of stealing the presidency. the strength of feeling against him seems as strong as ever. but while the belarussian seems as strong as ever. but while the bela russian people seems as strong as ever. but while the belarussian people heed the call for a national strike? svetlana tikhanovskaya, the opposition leader has been forced into exile, hopes they will. i think that the will of they will. i think that the will of the belarussian they will. i think that the will of the bela russian people they will. i think that the will of the belarussian people can be changed. even if we do not succeed or do not get the effect we are waiting for, people will be looking for another kind of tribal, protest, but we will not stop —— another kind ofa but we will not stop —— another kind of a struggle. last week lukashenko accused protesters are behaving arrogantly and warned they would face the consequences. so the use of force is no surprise. but it was a

violent crackdown on peaceful protesters that helped spark the mass protests back in august. it is unlikely to end them now. to talk about these developments, and what they all mean, i am joined by alena kudzko, director of the glob—sec policy institute, a think tank based in bratislava, slovakia. thank you for making time for us. protesters are calling for a general strike to start on monday. what do you think is going to happen? that is definitely very difficult to predict. a lot of people are going to strike. a lot of people are going to strike. a lot of people are going to ta ke to strike. a lot of people are going to take off to express solidarity with the strikers. but we should also understand the difficult situation in which the people of belarus are. striking has been a very difficult and risky enterprise in the country. the government has taken in the country. the government has ta ke n every in the country. the government has

ta ken every possible in the country. the government has taken every possible measure to intimidate people and prevent strikes from happening. a lot of leaders of the striking committees we re leaders of the striking committees were arrested and some of them had to flee the country. people who intended to strike were fired. workers are facing a very difficult choice, asjobs are workers are facing a very difficult choice, as jobs are very scarce, especially outside minsk, and the government controls most of the jobs. even private companies are facing persecution for being closed down on the strike days. hence, it is very difficult to predict what is going to happen tomorrow, but this is by no means an implication that the protest will decrease in number or scale. you mentioned that so many opposition leaders had been arrested or forced to flee the country. what state is the opposition in? we have a very interesting situation in the country. we have the opposition that is very resilient and has not lost its resolve. and we have the government that is not budging. we

definitely have a stalemate and each site is trying to break it. the opposition, for its part, is trying to come up with more and more creative strategies, that are keeping the government off guard and forcing the government to make more and more mistakes. this deadline it has set for today is one of the strategy is to put more pressure on the government. is there any indication the government is spending at all? not so far. the government has responded with more and more violence, but on the other hand,it and more violence, but on the other hand, it also had to adapt its tactics. over the past weeks, the government has been very brutal with the protesters, including the use of violence. it is also fired a lot of people. a lot ofjournalists were script of their accreditation. recently lukashenko script of their accreditation. recently lu kashenko has script of their accreditation. recently lukashenko has met several political prisoners for what he claims was an attempt to negotiate with the opposition. he seems to be succeeding in co—opting if you have

them as trying to pose as the legitimate representatives of the opposition, while sidelining the rest of the movement. but the rest of the country does not seem to be buying it. to afghanistan now, where funerals have been held for the victims of saturday's suicide bombing in the capital, kabul. the number of dead has risen to 2a and most of the victims were students. the islamic state group has said it carried out the attack. the un has described the bombing as a callous and senseless war crime. and a warning, our report from the bbc‘s secunder kermani contains some flashing images. the narrow street outside the tuition centre was packed when the suicide bomber struck. fear, panic and shock amongst the students. like this 18—year—old, many were preparing for their university entrance exam next year. translation: i was walking towards the centre when i heard a huge bang.

i fell unconscious. when i woke up, i saw my classmates and friends wounded and lying down on the ground. everyone was crying. at the scene today, abandoned textbooks and shattered glass. the suicide bomber was coming down this alley, trying to get inside that gate to the tuition centre when he was challenged by some of the guards and he blew himself up. you can still see some of the marks left by the shrapnel in the wall and the impact the explosion had. most of the residents of this area belong to afghanistan's shia minority, they have been targeted by the islamic state group. still, there is defiance. translation: i don't feel safe but i won't surrender. if the taliban or daesh fight with weapons, i will fight with my notebook, my pen and my education. i have faith that i will win. there has been a surge in fighting in the country over the past few weeks, largely between the afghan

government and the taliban. peace talks have started but seem to have stalled. is is much less powerful than the taliban and is not part of those negotiations. they can still carry out deadly attacks. today, the young victims of this latest atrocity were laid to rest. written on one of the placard, a simple question. what was my crime? secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane dougall. .. hello and thanks forjoining us. some brilliant performances in the world of sport today. we begin with lewis hamilton's, his victory in the portuguese grand prix means he holds the outright record for formula one victories with 92 — surpassing michael schumacher. the result means he extends his lead in this year's drivers championship, with his sights now set on equalling the german driver's seven world titles.

i feel like ifeel like i'm still i feel like i'm still going ifeel like i'm still going up. so, yeah, i never thoughti ifeel like i'm still going up. so, yeah, i never thought i would be here. but i am. and i hope that that continues to hopefully show people that no matter what people say to you, just keep believing, keep pushing and stay focused, don't let up. tayo gaygan hart has won the giro d'italia, becoming just the the fifth british rider to take a grand tour. the ineos grenadiers rider began the day in second place overall, although level on time with australia's jai hindley. the final stage was a ten—mile time trial on the streets of milan — and gaygan hart was the faster rider, winning by 39 seconds. pretty unbelievable, to be honest. it has been an incredible three weeks with the team. started down in sicily, 21 days ago, and here we are now in milan. what a year it has

been. and to finish like this is unbelievable and quite unexpected. i don't know if it will ever sink in, but it certainly hasn't no. ijust feel honoured to be here with this tea m feel honoured to be here with this team and incredibly privileged to be in this position. and there's been more for ineos grenadiers to celebrate over in spain at the vuelta a espana where richard carapaz has taken the overall lead. spain's yon iza—girre won stage six. but further back, defending champion primoz roglic couldn't keep up with carapaz, who now has an eight second lead over britain's hugh carthy. everton's unbeaten start to the season is over after they lost 2—0 at southampton. james ward—prowse opened the scoring for the hosts, who then went two up through che adams. a bad day for everton was compounded with a red card for luca digne. everton remain top of the table but now only on goal difference. from the first moment you could feel

that the game plan was working and the guys were really sticking to and beautiful goals were scored. a good few chances, dominant from the first half. maybe one of the best first—half set so far. and the second half, not so easy mentally to stay focused, to have a good game balance, and i think also in terms of possession, one of our best games. not a good performance. we are used to playing different in a different way to earn. that was not a good performance. they played better than us and deserved to win. that is simple. this doesn't mean i have forgot all the things that we did... my team did really well in this first part of the season. and we are going to do really well again. a late goal for newcastle gave steve bruce's side a point in their match against wolves. rauljiminez scored in the 80th minute for the home side

but a fantastic strike from jacob murphy in the last minute of normal time saw the match end in a 1—1 draw. and it's just finished in arsenal's match against leicester at the emirates. jamie vardy came on as a sub to score the winner with a diving header in the 80th minute for leicester. it finished 1—0. that's all the sport for now. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news... the united states says armenia and azerbaijan have agreed a third attemt at a ceasefire in the conflict over the disputed territory of nagorno—kara bakh. in a statement released with the two governments, the us state department said the truce will come into effect on monday. fighting has taken place over the territory for almost a month. demonstrations have been staged across poland against strict new rules governing abortions. a catholic mass was interrupted in the city of poznan, when a group of women held banners protesting the new rules in the cathedral. the ban is on almost all abortions —

of the kamchatka peninsula — are in dispute. russian state investigators say they are "most likely natural", while environmentalists want a more thorough investigation. maria kiseleva from the bbc‘s russian service reports. when hundreds of dead sea creatures washed up on the shore, nobody knew what was going on. why did this large area of this pacific coast turn into a graveyard? covered in mostly turn into a graveyard? covered in m ostly d ea d turn into a graveyard? covered in mostly dead sea creatures, starfish is and what looks like the remains of sea urchins. we spoke to the locals and they are alarmed, because usually it is just a couple of staff to share but now it is much more than that. this is what it looked like before the disaster. the ocean bed is covered with active marine

life. this is after. many places, pla nts life. this is after. many places, plants and small are dead. they are considering two causes, artificial causes related with industrial sources, may be military sources, landfills and so on. and second group, natural causes, like seaweed. at first many people thought the disaster was caused by rocket fuel from disused military ranges. others said it was poisonous chemicals. translation: in the 19705 said it was poisonous chemicals. translation: in the 1970s some pesticides were dug there and other poisonous chemicals. they dug a hole and left them there. is test result started to come in, experts question this theory. perhaps the causes were natural? there is poisonous seaweed.

it could also be the red tide. when one type of algae consumes all oxygen in the water and other creatures to suffocate. some local people were treated for burns to skin and eyes after swimming in the ocean. translation: we are worried about our help and the help of our loved ones. and we are also worried for the ocean. the ocean is whole life. and tillage is clear what happened, it will not be safe for people to go into the ocean. in what has been one of russia's most unique sports. —— sports. and some pictures to show you now that have gone viral... you'll see why. .. a close call for swimmers in sydney. this drone footage shows swimmers just metres away from circling sharks off bondi beach. it's believed they had no idea the predators were below them. good news for the swimmers —

the sharks appeared to be distracted by a giant shoal of salmon. ben rich has the weather. hello, good evening. i'm sure you don't need me to tell you it's been a very wet weekend across many parts of the uk. quite a blustery weekend as well. on the satellite picture, you can see this swirl of cloud, the area of low pressure bringing the wind and rain this weekend. behind me, another area of cloud, this is hurricane epsilon which is drifting northwards. it won't be a hurricane as it moves its way towards our shores, but it will be an extremely deep area of low pressure. the centre of the low with the strongest winds will stay away to the north—west, but this is just going to continue to drive some very unsettled weather through the coming days. it will be windy. there will be some heavy rain at times but not all the time, rough seas across western parts

particularly, signs that it will turn a little milder later in the week, particularly down towards the south. so, through this evening and overnight, we continue to see showers, some heavy, some thundery, blown in on a brisk breeze. the showers most plentiful across the west. further east, more in the way of dry weather, some clear spells and that is where we will see the lowest temperatures, maybe down to 2—3 degrees in some spots. for tomorrow, again, we will have seven spells —some spells of sunshine but just like today, there will be some heavy thundery showers around. these tending to migrate eastwards through the day, so the chance of showers across eastern scotland and eastern england will increase, where as for northern ireland, wales and the south—west, will see fewer showers. as we go through the afternoon, more spells of sunshine. quite windy towards the south, lighter winds developing further north. it will be a fairly cool day with highs of between 10—14 degrees. now, as we move through monday night, this area of low pressure will start to clear away briefly. see this little bump in the isobars? that's a little ridge

of high pressure. so that's going to settle things down for a time. could make it quite a chilly start to tuesday morning but that more settled spell is very, very brief. you can see this next weather system pushing in from the west on tuesday. some heavy rain with that. northern scotland holding onto some brightness. another windy day, highs of 10—14 degrees. and it stays very unsettled as we had through the middle part of the week. this big, deep area of low pressure still sitting up to the north—west. this will be the engine room of our weather, it'll be driving strong winds and heavy downpours right across the uk, but it will start to turn a bit milder for the end of the week.
