a lot of people summer holidays, 3 lot of people went summer holidays, a lot of people went abroad, there was a lot of — because the coronavirus rates at the time in the uk certainly had fallen and people were feeling more relaxed, perhaps not observing social distancing as much. and it kind of raises the question about whether, you know, there were problems with testing at the time, and the fact that there wasn't testing at airports, no proper screenings, that sort of thing. they raise the question about if there had been screening in airports like some were calling for, whether that would've made a difference. and i suppose this also raises the question about what implications this has on a current vaccine? absolutely, and i think it was the bbc's health correspondent fergus walsh talking earlier this week that the vaccine may arrive tomorrow, but it will actually still take a while

for it to be distributed amongst the population. normally the first wave ofa population. normally the first wave of a vaccine is not the most effective, it needs to be fine tuned and we are rushing this out for obvious reasons. 50 yes, we can hope for a vaccine, and we all do — but this is a virus that keeps surprising us in different ways. it's complicated and difficult. we are gathering all this new information all the time, and scientists and medical people are processing it. but it is a big opponent and it certainly means we have to continue to be nimble and not assume that things have worked in the past will this internally work in the future as we try to find it. turning to the front page of the daily telegraph, people may well be put into defector lockdowns because ofan put into defector lockdowns because of an algorithm change. they've done some tweaking to the coronavirus app

which has had quite a lot of problems since its roll—out, and has had some problems in how it's working because it uses bluetooth to paying off other people's phones. the telegraph says they'll be reducing the risk threshold, so you're more likely to be told to isolate if you come close to somebody with coronavirus. obviously this is interesting because the coronavirus dell macro trends and coronavirus dell macro trends and coronavirus are changing, the government's becoming seriously concerned about increasing death rates, increasing death rates across the country. we had this big study only yesterday saying that something like nearly 100,000 new infections in england per day. so this is one of the things tightening up isolation rules, and that sort of thing, and improving the app is

something we're seeing the government do to try to prevent the spread of the virus. tim, still on the front page of the daily telegraph, the tragic events that took place today in nice in france, a defiant emmanuel macron saying that it a defiant emmanuel macron saying thatitis a defiant emmanuel macron saying that it is with great clarity again today, "we will not give any ground." absolutely, and we are understandably preoccupied with our political drama today, but yes, the events in france really do chill you. and to be murdered in a church — which for many people in france, britain and around the world is a place of sanctuary — is a horrible thing. and clearly the person who committed this crime of muslim background does not in any way speak for most muslims. but what they're trying to do by attacking a church is to create a clash of civilizations. and as the telegraph

reports, i'm afraid someone who is abetting that payment is the leader of turkey, president erewhon. he seems to be deliberately misinterpreting what macron has been saying, he's been saying free speech is important to france, he wasn't saying criticising mohammed is something he approved of. he was just packing free speech. aragon is whipping up extra islamic extremism in his country, which is exactly what a responsible leader should avoid. lizzy, your thoughts on the events of today? it is such a tragic story. obviously it kind of brings so story. obviously it kind of brings so much in the context of, you know, the 2015-16 so much in the context of, you know, the 2015—16 period in france as well, where there were a number of terror attacks. echoes of that in nice where a lorry driver... and

just with the heading of the teacher —— beheading of the teacher in paris, french people are obviously feeling very concerned and vulnerable at the moment. and coupled with the rising coronavirus rates, it must be a very alarming time for the public. that's it for this edition, hopefully we'll have more time to talk about the wider implications of what's taken place in france and our next edition of the papers. i look forward to seeing you injust over a half an hour. thank you both very much, see you $0011. i'm back at 11pm with the main news, but next, it's all the day's sport. goodbye for now. although, i'm marc edwards, thanks

as wales won four five nations titles during the 19705, including two grand slams. tomos dafydd reflects on his career. what a lovely round this is... searing pace, formidable finishing. he was the rugby star instantly recognisable by his initials alone. no chance of catching up. with two players called john williams on the side, he became” — the other, jpr. he scored 12 tries in 30 tests. but in the early days, it wasn't all about rugby. at college, an olympic champion was a persuasive presence. the new member of the team... john williams. he tried to convince jj williams his future lay with athletics. and in 1970, he competed at the commonwealth games. but jj sensed he wouldn't be world—class on the track. but rugby was different.

he started at bridge end and, after less than a year, he won his first international cup. —— international cap. his pace propelled him into the british and irish lion squad. and “119711,” headed to south africa, where he had a starring role in the most successful tour ever. they are the fastest men on the team. and obviously, my speed out there came in great handy. to williamsjoins to williams joins me... after the play, the commentary box, where he often managed a memorable line. he put it straight back on his jaw. well done. the penny should've gone to wales. his punditry — sometimes critical, always concise. put plenty of effort into the game, but unfortunately they had no answers for the french? they should, they're getting paid enough to do it.

if it wasn't effot it was lacking, it was skill, strength. later in life, he was later recognised for his achievements on the pitch. and for his work at a charity representing former national players. he rose to the top in a golden era. a respected figure in rugby — one of the greats. wales captain alun wynjones will break the world record for most test match appearances when he leads his country against scotland in the six nations on saturday. the second—rower will make his 149th appearance for wales and the british and irish lions, overtaking new zealand's world cup—winning skipper richie mccaw. finn russell will start for scotland — his first six nations appearance of the year — after falling out with head coach gregor townsend in january. scrum—half ben youngs will become just the second englishman to win 100 test caps against italy. world cup winnerjason leonard is the only other player to reach the milestone.

the phrase it's raining again has been used rather too much this month, it will be used again before the month is done. even into the first part of november, more rain on the way. strong winds, looking quite stormy on saturday. so, a chance of further flooding and disruption as a result. and now this is friday's big picture. this weather front producing some more rain, particularly into wales to start the day. scotland and northern ireland, though, behind it will see some sunshine. a mild start to the day for many of us. for scotland and northern ireland, a few showers around to begin with. they will tend to clear. we'll get more in the way of sunshine arriving here. just a few showers towards north west scotland into the afternoon. northern england brightening up as well, and the early heavy rain in wales gradually easing. but for south east wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern england, it will stay cloudy. there will be further outbreaks of rain at times, although actually here is where we get to see the higher temperatures. still quite windy. not as windy as it was on thursday. but overnight and into saturday, this is where the winds start to pick up once again.

and we'll see more rain pushing north across the uk. ahead of its arrival in scotland, it will be quite chilly. and it does look quite stormy, then, as the weekend begins. a deep area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk, so winds picking up across all areas. gales or severe gales are possible. and another band of rain sweeping east across the uk. some of this rain will be heavy, perhaps including some torrential bursts as well and really quite squally winds as it moves on through. behind it, though, you get to see the sunshine and a few showers. strong southerly winds, a few gusts here, but widely towards the north and west of the uk — 60 mph. maybe a bit more, elsewhere 50 mph. again, maybe a bit more, particularly when the heavy rain moves on through. it will be a mild start to the weekend for what it's worth. it's still looking windy on sunday, particularly across the north west of scotland. an early spell of rain clearing east, then brightening up to a few showers. then with uncertain timing, the arrival of some more rain

pushing in from the west later in the day especially into sunday night. there are some met office weather warnings out. do get across those online for what that means for where you are. and after a windy and at times wet start to next week and of course early november, after that, something quieter, drier and calmer.
