thatis without their centre back captain, that is undoubtedly. the biggest thing building up to liverpool is playing them without supporters. the support make such a difference to them, so i think going up there with no crowd behind them, i think, hopefully, that will make a bit of a difference as well. hopefully, that will make a bit of a difference as well. rangers manager steven gerrard will assess alfredo morelos ahead of their trip to kilmarnock on sunday, as they look to stretch their unbeaten run to 18 games in all competitions. morelos scored the only goal in their europa league win over lech posnan last night but he took a knock to the calf during the match. victory over killmarnock would take them nine points clear of celtic at the top of the premiership but celtic will have two games in hand — they play aberdeen in the scottish cup semi—finals this weekend. england's netballers have lost the second test against new zealand, and with it the series. the roses started well in hamilton, and they had a two—goal lead at half—time, but the world champions came back in dominant style, winning by 54—47.

a very good afternoon. you're watching bbc news. let's start with the fact it is seven days... ..into the welsh firebreak and in the last hour the wales first minister, mark drakeford has announced that the government has decided not to return to local restrictions when the current lockdown ends. instead, there will be an introduction of new national measures which will come into place when the firebreak comes to an end, this time next week. he also outlined plans for new legislation to crack down on those who give false information to contact tracers. we will put in place a simpler set of national rules that are easier for everybody to understand, to help keep us safe, and keep the virus under control.

and we have been working hard this week to create this new set of measures, measures that we can all live with this winter and that will give us maximum protection, together with as much freedom as is feasible. at the heart of the new system, a system we will have in place after the 9th of november, that it will have to be, at its heart, the way in which everyone of us go about our daily lives. if we are to keep coronavirus in check in wales without resorting to the disruptive lockdowns and fire breaks, then we all need to adapt to the virus in the same way that businesses have adapted over the last six months. if the new measures are to work, we all have to act in ways that live up to the public health emergency we are facing together.

please do not treat the new rules as though they were a game in which the challenge is always to stretch them to the limit. please don't make your first question, "what can "and what can't i do?" instead, we should all be asking ourselves, what should and what shouldn't i be doing to keep myself and my family safe? and the answer to that question is that we should all do everything we can to reduce the contacts we have with other people at home, in work or when we go out. government rules and regulations are there to help. but the real strength we have is in the choices we make and the actions we take together. finally today, i wanted to turn

to one of the most important actions we can take. this is for us all to follow the advice of the nhs wales test, trace, protect service if we are asked to self—isolate. we will be introducing two new schemes to support people on low incomes when they are asked to self—isolate. for some people, being asked to stay at home for two weeks can mean struggling to put food on the table because statutory sick pay is not a substitute for a week's wages. the two schemes we are announcing today will give people the financial security they need to stay at home when it is most important for them to do so. because of the vital work they carry out on our behalf, we will provide a top—up to statutory sick pay for all social care staff,

including personal assistants. they will receive their full wage if they have to take time off work because they have coronavirus or because they have been asked to self—isolate. and, beyond that, there will be a £500 self isolation support payment for people on low incomes in wales. this will be available to help people to stay at home after a positive test or if they have been told to self—isolate by the contact tracing team. and, as well as those measures, we will strengthen the regulations. we will introduce a new offence of knowingly giving false information to our ttp service, a new legal duty to self—isolate, and a duty on employers to ensure

that they do not attempt to prevent an employee from following the advice to self—isolate. scotland's deputy first minister has urged people to stay at home this halloween. john swinney made the plea at the scottish government's coronavirus briefing, where he was standing in for the first minister, nicola sturgeon. it came as another 28 deaths from coronavirus were recorded in scotland, in the past 24 hours, taking the death toll there to 2,819. the final issue i want to talk about today relates to the week ahead and specifically to halloween. in ordinary circumstances, families across scotland would be out guising tomorrow night, and people of all ages would be attending halloween parties. sadly, these are not ordinary circumstances. none of us at the moment should be visiting each other‘s homes unless it is for an essential purpose, and we should all be

avoiding activities that make the spread of the virus more likely. i am afraid that guising falls into that category. going door—to—door, passing sweets, touching items others have touched, all of that gives the opportunity for covid to spread. and if there is one thing we know, it's that this virus will take any opportunity it can to spread. so, this halloween, our advice is that you should stay at home. that does not mean, of course, that families cannot have fun. children and adults can still dress up and play games and we can still all celebrate halloween. we just need to do that in the safety of our own homes. that is certainly what my family will be doing. my son is already practising some fantastic impersonations and he is looking forward to getting dressed up. it won't be the same as other years, but we are still going to try to make it a very special night in our house. the parent club website has lots of great tips for having a fun halloween,

so if you are looking for ideas, it is worth going to www.parentclub.scot none of us like the fact that these restrictions have to be in place, but sticking to them is really important. it will help to keep us all safe, so please stay home this halloween, don't take risks for the sake of one night. it's really not worth it. the consumer organisation which has warned there are big differences in the effectiveness of reusable face coverings. in tests, it found that the best performing masks blocked out more than 99% of particles and droplets that could spread the virus — matching the performance of surgical masks, but the worst only managed to block out 7%. the tests also revealed that almost all of the face coverings got better at filtering particles after being washed. the headlines on bbc news... 11 million people in england will be living under the most severe covid restrictions by next week — nottinghamshire moves

into tier 3, west yorkshire prepares to follow suit. traffic around paris hit record levels just hours before a new national lockdown came into force across france. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, rejects warnings from a union leader that the suspension ofjeremy corbyn could split the party. the coronavirus pandemic has caused a housing eviction crisis which will be a matter of life and death in the coming months, if governments don't step in to help. that's the view of the un's special rapporteur on the right to housing in an interview with the bbc. since april, the bbc‘s population reporter stephanie hegarty has been following three people in different parts of the world who lost theirjobs to the pandemic, and are now on the front line of this emerging global crisis. this baby came as a surprise. in

august, she found she was pregnant just a few days before she was born. and the timing couldn't have been worse. i am worried that the house ofa worse. i am worried that the house of a lot of humidity. it is not good for her. on monday, i have to pay the rent. i don't have money because i have to pay for some tests and now i start the countdown, because we don't have much time before we have to leave. we cannot find a place because there are too many of us. when we first met the family six months ago, she and her mother had just lost theirjobs as mexico went into lockdown. she was worried about supporting her two teenage children. now her mother rose is the only one working and she only get a days work a week. because we are late with the rent, the landlady is hustling us. she wants to take the house from us.

—— hassling us. with this baby, where we will —— will we end up. this meant losses job as an uber driver in lagos and he is now squatting with a friend. driver in lagos and he is now squatting with a friendlj driver in lagos and he is now squatting with a friend. i send my daughter actually village to send her maxi her grandmother. i need to getan her maxi her grandmother. i need to get an apartment for myself. when we first met andrew in april, the garment factory work she worked closed. she is now back at work but her roommate was not as lucky. she lost herjob and had to move out. when she left, it was really hard for me. these families and millions of others are victims of a global housing prices made critical by this pandemic. it is a question of life or death that someone actually has a safe and secure adequate home. the

main issue is that we are seeing a lot of evictions happening right now, but also that there may be a whole little evictions coming down the line, so there are others can foran the line, so there are others can for an eviction ban to continue. in this context, poor countries need additional help. government financing in order to ensure they can deal with the housing challenges. as this baby comes home for the first time, her family out still trying to figure out where home will be. she has my colour. looks like chocolate. hundreds of thousands of women in poland have been protesting for more than a week against a court ruling banning almost all abortions. the country already had one of the strictest laws in europe. but last week's constitutional court ruling made it even more restrictive. from warsaw, adam easton reports.

angry protests despite the coronavirus. there's been a massive response to what amounts to a near total ban. abortion will only be allowed in cases of rape and incest, or when the pregnancy poses a risk to the mother's health. the government says no, you have to give birth no matter how sick your baby will be. we have to go to the street and show our anger and protest because this is something that shouldn't happen in the 21st century in the middle of europe. protests like this one have been taking place every day in towns and cities across the country. there is enormous anger here, protesters have just been chanting, "this is war." and they are blaming the government and the catholic church for taking away a woman's right to choose. poland is one of the most catholic countries in europe. so protests inside churches like this one are unprecedented. some conservative catholic groups

lobbied the government to outlaw abortion in cases where tests indicate the baby will be born with severe disabilities. abortion for eugenic reasons as one of the most cruel, one of the most tragic examples of discrimination. people are deprived of their right to life, only because it is thought that they might be disabled or sick in the future. that's a view shared by the country's socially conservative leadership, now endorsed by a court dominated by pro—governmentjudges. protest organisers say their ultimate goal now is to overthrow the governing coalition. maybe abortion is not the issue that will bring this government down but the things happening now, the young people on the streets, the thousands and thousands of people on the streets, means after it all ends, we will have poland of our dreams. this is the hard way to achieve that, but we are ready to go all the way. the government is not backing down.

the country's most powerful politician, jaroslaw kaczynski, has called on his supporters to defend churches from protesters who he said want to destroy poland. a country already grappling with the pandemic now has a cultural war playing out on its streets. adam easton, bbc news, warsaw. the pumpkins are being carved and trick or treaters are almost ready, but there's no doubt this year's halloween will feel very different. fiona lamdin has been out and about in bristol, where people are determined to make the evening special despite coronavirus. love it or loathe it, halloween is very nearly upon us. well, i really like the sweets and the decorations. here in bristol, this mum, tasha, has set up a spooky trail around the city.

they're in tier1 here, so households can meet indoors and outdoors in groups of six. well, as you can see, i absolutely love halloween. i do a display every single year. i want a safe way to people to come and see houses that are still decorated for halloween and spread a little bit of cheer in this time. and, so far, 250 families have signed up. my husband is very clever when it comes to seeing things how they could look and then he makes them look like that! just around the corner, we meet the cole family. obviously, the year that everyone's had — especially children, it's been pretty rubbish for them. everything's been cancelled — holidays, other events. obviously, halloween is something that i suppose they can't kind of stop. and a few streets away, the pirates have taken over. it may not surprise you this took six months of planning.

this is my christmas — i love halloween so much. the house is decorated all year round as halloween, so i like to put it out in the garden and show people. well, people are coming up with all sorts of imaginative ways to try and keep everybody safe. captain hook here has designed this socially distanced tube for the sweets to shoot down. so what are the rules? downing street has stopped short of banning trick—or—treating for people living in tiers 1 and 2 in england — as long as you stick to local restrictions, social distancing and the rule of six. but in tier 3, where socialising is banned in gardens, it looks like trick—or—treating is off. as it is in wales, scotland and northern ireland — where it's also not allowed. in locked—down cardiff, welsh households have been told to stay at home, but danny is still determined to celebrate.

so what i want to try and say is halloween is not cancelled. we can't go trick—or—treating, but we totally endorse children dressing up. we definitely would like you all to dress up your houses. probably don't need to go as crazy as this but, really, it's about having fun and being with your family. i sort of thought twice about doing it this year due to the pandemic. was it the right thing? we actually ran a poll on facebook to say, should we do it, should we not? and we had, like, 97%, like, "do it." and in north yorkshire, professional pumpkin—sculptors are working flat out despite all the restrictions. 100 this this week, because most people want their pumpkins for halloween. and so, yeah, we've been pretty busy, i would say. it looks really scary. will it give you nightmares? you think it will? it seems the real trick this year is to keep the magic alive but from a safe distance,

as many choose to halloween at home. we have all heard the phrase, "dogs are man's best friend." well, it isn'tjust a saying — it's the honest truth. a new study of the canine's dna has shown that human beings have been close friends with them for so long that by the end of the ice age, there were five different types of dog. scientists says the data confirms that dogs were domesticated before any other known species. traces of these ancient breeds survive today in every corner of the world. still looking forward to the day when i can bring my fog into the newsroom to cheer when i can bring my fog into the newsroom to cheer us when i can bring my fog into the newsroom to cheer us all up. —— my

fog. —— myfog. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. good afternoon. hello there. we have ended the week today on a relatively fine note. we have seen quite a bit of dry weather across the north of the uk, further south more cloud with outbreaks of rain. but things are set to turn a lot more turbulent into this weekend. we are going to see the areas of low pressure bring spells of heavy rain and also some gales, severe in places. for the rest of the day, to the northern half of the uk, which will hold onto the best of the brightness, a few blustery showers here. more cloud further south with some spots of light rain or drizzle. across the south and the north, the winds will tend to be fairly brisk, but through central areas they will be lighter for a while. i mean for a while, because the next area of low pressure will be moving up from the south through this evening and overnight, bringing increasing cloud, outbreaks of rain, some of it will turn out to be heavy in the north and west. it will also introduce some much milder air across southern areas, the mid—teens celsius by the end of the night. a chillier night to come, though, for the north of scotland under clearer skies. now, as we head on into saturday,

this is the deep area of low pressure which has been named storm aiden by the irish met service, and it is here we are likely to see the most disruption across the republic of ireland. there will also be very strong winds around the irish sea coast which could also cause some disruption. we will see a band of very heavy squally rain spreading its way eastwards across the country through the course of saturday. very strong winds on that as it moves through. behind it, blustery showers, some sunshine, longer spells of rain continuing across the north—west of the uk and those winds gusting to 70 miles an hour around irish sea coasts. elsewhere, generally around 40, 45 miles an hour, maybe even more than that in exposure. we will see some sunshine around into the afternoon. those temperatures on the mild side once again. storm aidan clears away, but another one hot on its heels moves through for sunday. so again, another windy start, widespread gales, outbreaks of heavy rain through sunday morning. that will clear through to sunshine and blustery showers, some of these will be heavy across western areas. again, merging together to produce longer spells of rain. and it is across the north and the west where we'll see the strongest of the winds once again. mild in the south—east, but a little bit cooler further north and west. so, with these spells of heavy rain and gales at the weekend,

we are likely to see some disruption from there so stay tune to your bbc local radio and the weather forecast. however, as we head on into next week, look at this, things settle down because a big area of high pressure will start to build in. it will bring some sunshine, but also chilly days and nights.

this is bbc news, i amjane hill. the headline set 2pm. drinkers gathered in nottingham city centre before the tier 3 coronavirus measures came into force at midnight — health officials are urging people to follow the rules. i'm disappointed to see those scenes and what we really need to do is for everybody to play their part in bringing this virus down. it is a killer disease. the labour leader defends his decision to suspend jeremy corbyn over anti—semitism — saying there's no need for the party to descend into civil war. remembering the three people who died in a knife attack in nice — thousands of soldiers and police are now protecting places of worship in france.
