in the midwest before tuesday's us election. more than 85 million peoiple have already cast their vote, leading to predictions that this year could see the highest turnout, in over a century. the number of americans testing positive for coronavirus has passed nine million — with the us breaking the record for the biggest rise of cases in a single 24—hour period. over one million new covid—19 cases have been reported in the past 1a days. the british government may be considering whether more coronavirus restrictions are needed across england — after medical sources said the country was at a "crunch point," with rising cases of covid—19. british media reports say a second national lockdown, could be imposed as early as wednesday. the former england and manchester united player nobby stiles has died aged 78

after a long battle with illness. stiles played every minute of england's victorious 1966 world cup campaign. and he would go on to win a european cup with his boyhood club, manchester united, two years later. our sports correspondent andy swiss has been looking back at a remarkable career. he was one of sport's more unlikely heroes — the world cup winner with the toothless grin and the dancing feet. commentator: i have never seen nobby stiles like this before. thatjig of delight ensured nobby stiles‘ place in footballing folklore. it's nice because people remember you for it. and they say, "oh, yeah, irememberyourjig," and they pass it onto their children and whatever. and so when it's seen, it's nice because, teeth or no teeth, it doesn't matter. you know, it was just the total enjoyment which i was doing. but his talent had been a long time in the making, from his early years growing up in manchester, through to a debut for england's schoolboys at 15.

and in 1960, manchester united came calling. commentator: what a goal! he could score but, above all, he could tackle. and his fearlessness brought him to england's attention. in 1965, he was called up by sir alf ramsey and in february 1966, he scored his first and only international goal. commentator: stiles scored! a few months later, he was part of the team hoping to take england to world cup glory and stiles‘ brave and often brilliant challenges helped england to become champions. the image of him dancing around wembley — trophy in one hand, false teeth in the other — is one he, like everyone else, could never forget. he had a heart that was probably as big as the gap in his teeth. he was just a real character and obviously he was an old school type of player, a hard man. and that grit also helped manchester united to the european cup in 1968. behind that cheery demeanour,

stiles was pure steel. he was fun to be around and on the pitch, it was a different matter. you know, it was all about winning the game. he was a bit of a jekyll and hyde really, if you think about it. when he went on the pitch, he sort of changed and he had a job to do and he did it, did it so well. stiles never enjoyed the riches his achievements deserved, ultimately selling his medals to raise money for his family. but while others may have attracted more headlines, few inspired as much affection as nobby stiles, the man whose pure euphoria once captured a country's imagination. tributes to nobby stiles, who's died at the age of 78. now on bbc news, has coronavirus changed the way we buy clothes forever — and what about those who are being left behind? bangladesh is one of

the world's most incredible economic success stories. at the heart of the country's economic boom is the garment industry. the first factory opened to the 1970s and now it is a $30 billion industry. barton, arcadia grooves, tesco. .. almost everybody has visited in my showroom. there are almost 5000 garment factories in bangladesh employing mostly women. but could the coronavirus erase decades of progress in a matter of months? you see all this is justjeans. and those made for the... there just keep here like that.

how many days i can keep the jeans like that where i have the space. factories shut down leaving thousands of people out of work... ..and worried about how they will survive. bangladesh is the second largest manufacturer of ready—made garments in the world. this industry employs 4 million people in the country. 85% of them are women.

the southern port city of chittagong. most of the clothing in these factories is made for fast fashion brands in america and europe. it's all about huge volumes and quick turnaround times. mostafiz uddin is the owner of denim express. mostafiz uddin is the owner of denim expert. this is babyjeans london. he employs 2000 workers making jeans for big international brands. when he built the factory 11 years ago, he focused on creating a safe working environment.

he wanted to put bangladesh on the map as a sustainable place to do business. in the past, safety issues were rampant at garment factories. building regulations were disregarded in construction. long working hours in cramped and hazardous factories were common. these unsafe working practices were brought to the world's attention in 2013. the eight—storey rana plaza complex collapsed in the capital dhaka. 113a people were killed. did you go to rana plaza when it happened?

immediately, it was 1130 something like that. i just took my chart and i ran a bitand i went to the rana plaza area and i see the things that are going on, ifeel so much helpless that i had really not or no things to do, no things to offer. from then there, i decided, "ok, that is the time i really start to how can i do good for people? how can a change people's perceptions? "how can another rana plaza not happen? " you really can see what i'm doing the last 20 years. if you check through my e—mails the last 20 years, you can see every single day i work up through night 3am. he lives with his wife and son in chittagong. he has dozens of clients

from all around the world. many come to visit him in his factory showroom. like this from marshall us ambassador, from the danish ambassador. clients who buyjeans from him include famous fashion brands. and who's visited your lab? the highest you can think of visited over here like, at the moment barton, the top and then arcadia grooves, tesco, areva island... almost everybody have been visited in my showroom and they all had been written there, and they are all very happy. but things have changed dramatically since the coronavirus pandemic hit.

0n the 9th of march, the first three cases of coronavirus were announced in dhaka. man on tannoy speaks own language 0n the 26th of march, the government ordered all factories to lock down. millions of workers were sent home with no idea when they would return to work. hosna and her husband both lost their jobs in garment factories.

they live on the outskirts of dhaka in the tongi slum. they share one room with their baby and her husband's mother. his mother also lost herjob in the garment industry when the factories closed. social distancing here is a challenge. 0ne stove is shared amongst 20 families. there are six toilets and one communal washing area.

the minimum wage for a garment worker in bangladesh is £74 a month. hosna and her family all worked overtime and earned nearly £275 a month between them. one month into the lockdown, hosna was called back into work. but on the 3rd ofjune, she was laid off and given just 5000 taka, around £115 in compensation.

in chittagong, 17 days into the pandemic, mostafiz had to close his factory. he was receiving e—mails from buyers cancelling their orders. many of the jeans had already been made and were ready to be dispatched. some had already been shipped. but some customers were saying they were no longer responsible for the payment of their order or were putting payment off indefinitely. when the pandemic hit, around $3 billion of orders were cancelled in bangladesh's garment industry.

you see all this is justjeans. and those were all made. theyjust keep here like that. how many days i can keep the jeans like that where i have this space, you can see by yourself there is no space. everywhere, everywhere you can see. there is no space and it is not safe for there is no space and it is not safe for the working condition. mostafiz pays for all materials to make the jeans upfront. he borrows money from the bank for the denim and his workers‘ wages. he generally receives payment upon delivery of the goods, not in advance. you can see all of these are from pakistan, china, india, turkey. and all these fabrics we bought from our manufacturing partners, oursuppliers,

and they trusted us, they have produced these fabrics and we took them to do it just like as we would normal. the buyers talk and all these people, the same thing is our suppliers trusted us and they move this and if you are just looking through all these fabrics, these are all $1 in these are all around here around $5—6 million of fabrics. in this warehouse, and all of the fabric, we borrowed the money from the bank and we purchase this because we told our clients and told them we would finish them. but they simply cancelled them. as i say, they don‘t want them. one of the companies that cancelled a large order was uk high street retailer peacocks. in total, they cancelled a

contract for 113,600 pairs of jeans worth over £162,000. in an e—mailto jeans worth over £162,000. in an e—mail to mostafiz, the company said it was cancelling payments for all stock already made and stock that are ready shipped to its warehouse. 15,100 pairs had already been made and were ready to ship. another 111,500 genes had had the material bought for them. we tried to contact them to ask why they haven‘t paid for their orders but have no reply. its pa rent orders but have no reply. its parent company orders but have no reply. its pa rent com pa ny recently orders but have no reply. its parent company recently filed for administration putting up to 24,000 for administration putting up to 211,000 jobs at risk in the uk. we were to mark working contrast and faith in everybody in this industry works like that. what we were supposed be producing in march, we had not

ordered in february, we ordered that in december and the vessel ships from different parts of the world, china, turkey all of these places. someone the pandemic starts and everything shuts down, even that time it sta rts shuts down, even that time it starts to come and then it sta rts starts to come and then it starts to come and then it starts to pile up. mostafiz is paying $2000 a day to keep fabrics he has already ordered but can‘t store at his factory at the port. containers after containers come in because we ordered the fabrics two or three months before. i am not understanding what to do, the responsibility of 2000 people. feeding the families, feeding the workers, not to pay on the goods for the port. it is not the buyer who did that commit millions of dollars of goods stuck on the port but how can i save my worker? how can i keep

them alive? in dh with no income, hosna took on the onlyjob she could find, chopping knots with no income. —— chopping nuts for a local shop. this earns herjust £1a local shop. this earns herjust £1 a day. her husband has not found work so her husband has not found work so it looks after their daughter. his mother is not the family‘s main breadwinner working forjobs a day cleaning houses. —— fourjobs a day.

in april, thousands of workers join protests outside factories demanding to be paid. but they we re demanding to be paid. but they were unsuccessful.

mostafiz received some support from the government in the form of low interest loans to help cover salaries. it was not enough to cover all his costs. he took drastic action to keep paying his workers. he took drastic action to keep paying his workerslj he took drastic action to keep paying his workers. i sold my property, all the property. even the house where you are sitting now, that house was sold. this one, this is my only house. last month... she sold all her jewelries house. last month... she sold all herjewelries and gold. and keep on paying to the people. so, we are poor actually. it is

how he overcomes this. he did not sleep. after 3—4 days, he asked me, he asked about payment... at times things were very difficult for some. if this straight, this is where i used to say to everybody. i would stand here and thought about justjump stand here and thought about just jump from here. stand here and thought about justjump from here. that‘s what i used to think. people will think i am a coward.

mostafiz‘s factory reopened after one month. six months on, some buyers have now agreed to pay for orders they‘d cancelled. many are still insisting on a discounted rate. mostafiz has taken on deep debts. i am suffering, i am a pa rt debts. i am suffering, i am a part of the suffering but it is not i am the only person suffering. we are suffering, the group of manufacturers are suffering because it is not happen all in bangladesh. the situation what has happened with me, maybe i am one person 01’ with me, maybe i am one person oriam with me, maybe i am one person or i am one single country, but it is the same in all the production companies. if you go to india, pakistan or other countries, they also have the same situation as an industry and asa same situation as an industry

and as a community, we should make some kind of safety net where our workers are safe and they should not have suffered they should not have suffered the way how they suffered... for decades the fast fashion industry has relied on cheap labour from countries like bangladesh. and for the millions of people like hosna, working garment factories has provided a better standard of living. imports of clothing to america we re imports of clothing to america were down 49% from april to june and in the eu, they were down by 45%.

recent studies showed for every ten workers laid off and bang addition the pandemic, only one has returned to work. —— in bangladesh during the pandemic.

hello. by midweek next week, our weather will finally have turned drier and calmer, but for the weekend, it is far from it. and for saturday, storm aiden — as named by the irish weather service for impacts there, but even across the uk — will be very windy and, at times, very wet. here‘s that area of low pressure passing to the north west of scotland.

another will come along on sunday, as it stays windy and there will be more rain. now, saturday begins already with some outbreaks of heavy rain towards the west in particular and, for a time, clearing north across scotland, but then further heavy, even torrential bursts of rain sweep east across the uk with very gusty, squally winds, although for many of us, that will clear to some sunshine. it is in the west where we‘ll see the strongest gusts of wind — 50, 60 miles an hour — but closer to 70 on exposed coasts and hills. but even elsewhere, as this torrential rain moves on through, could well see some gusts of 50—60 mph. it‘s going to be a mild start to the weekend. many of us see the rain clear to sunshine, but there will be further rain or northern ireland into western scotland in the afternoon. and still very strong winds. parts of western scotland could for a time gust in excess of 70 mph. the winds ease a touch overnight and into sunday morning, as more rain comes on through from the west. now, sunday will be a very windy day. this area of low pressure

contains the remnants of what was once hurricane zeta. so, yes, closer to that, we‘ll see the strongest winds, but all parts will have another windy day. and after some early rain clears through, some will brighten up in scotland and northern ireland. further outbreaks of rain in england and wales. some of that mayjust push for the north as we go on through the day. those winds still very gusty, particularly in northwest scotland. the chance of seeing some gusts above 70 mph for a time, and sunday is still looking mild. now, it does turn colder next week, but that‘s part and parcel of a significant change in the weather. still some rain or showers around to start the week, still quite windy. but from midweek, it‘s drier, it‘s calmer, yes, it‘s colder, and there could be frost and fog overnight. but for the weekend, a focus on very wet and windy weather. if there are some problems because of the weather, bbc local radio can keep you updated, and do check out the latest met office weather warnings online.
