this is bbc news with the latest headlines. a senior government minister warns the second coronavirus lockdown in england could last more than a month and says any decision would depend on how much the restrictions brought down levels of infection. we need to recognise that we do need to get the infection rate, the r rate below one. we believe on the basis of the evidence that we have that we will be able to do so. the labour leader welcomes the new measures but calls on the government to use the time to ramp up test and trace. the government has to keep its side of the bargain here. if they don't use the time to fix test, trace and isolate then i think the 2nd of december will be a review date, not an end date. the most powerful storm of the year, typhoon goni, strikes the philippines, bringing wind speeds of up to two hundred

and twenty five kilometres an hour. a major search and rescue effort is now into its third day in the turkish coastal town of izmir following a major earthquake that hit the agean on friday, killing 51 people. and donald trump and joe biden each make a last bid for votes in swing states that could be key to winning the white house. the england world cup winner and manchester united legend sir bobby charlton has been diagnosed with dementia. good afternoon. the four—week lockdown in england, which will start on thursday and is scheduled to end on december the 2nd could be extended. the cabinet minister michael gove said ministers will be "guided by the facts". he said the government wanted to get

the coronavirus reproduction rate below the critical level of one. borisjohnson announced the latest round of restrictions at a news conference last night. the strict measures are set to come into effect on thursday. they will see pubs, restaurants, gyms and nonessential shops and places of worship close. however, schools, colleges and universities can stay open. travel and overnight stays in the uk and abroad will be restricted and meeting others indoors or in private gardens is banned. today labour criticised the government for rejecting its call last month for a so—called "circuit—brea ker" — that's a tight set of restrictions for a fixed period of time. for the latest, here's our political correspondent helen catt. they are the headlines the prime minister never wanted to see, arriving at his own door this morning. england will go into a second national lockdown from thursday. it should end on second december.

one of the government's most senior ministers indicated that was the hope but not a guarantee. if we ensure all the steps we're taking now are taken appropriately, we will have an opportunity to review the progress we are making and in advance of december the 2nd we can communicate to those areas where some restrictions may be required, what they will be, and other areas where we have beaten back that the virus, explained whether liberties can be restored. labour will back the new lockdown in a vote in parliament with a degree of frustration. if what they announced yesterday had been announced when i said it should have been three weeks ago, we could have had the lockdown and schools shut because of half—term. people will be waking up this morning and thinking, how on earth did it get to this? he warned the government needs to use the time wisely. the government has to keep its side of the bargain.

because if they don't use this time to fix test, trace and isolate, then i think second december will be a review date, not an end date, because for months and months and months that they have promised a world beating test, trace and isolate system, which is vital. if you don't test you can't trace, if you don't trace you can't isolate. it's been busted for months. use the time to fix it because otherwise we are going to be back in this cycle for months and months and months. particularly, he said, to keep schools open, agovernment commitment with which he agrees. and with which is the big difference between the new lockdown in england and what happened in the spring. that may not be possible, one of the government's scientific advisers has warned, and he cast doubt on their plans to return to regional restrictions after lockdown. what mustn't happen is whenever that day comes, second december, or a little bit later, that suddenly the world goes back to normal. it's not going to go back to normal immediately. i think it will be at least what is currently called tier 3, tier 3 plus across the country. i don't think it makes sense to go back to regional variation in the restrictions that are in place immediately after this

set of more draconian measures are lifted. in leeds they had been due to move into tier 3 restrictions anyway, but these people seem 0k with tougher national measures. obviously i'd rather it not happen. but if it means the virus reduces i'm all for it. it feels sudden but at the same time we kind of expected it. if it's necessary, it's necessary. long term, it has got to be done, hasn't it? the new lockdown will be debated in parliament this week. expect more questions over how and when it will end, even before it has begun. this second lockdown has been prompted by rapidly rising infection rates in many areas. our health correspondent, lauren moss, has been looking at the data. preparing for a second national lockdown. from thursday, the message in england will, once again, be stay home to save lives. nonessential shops and hospitality will close. schools and universities will stay open. but some scientists think further

measures may be needed to stop the spread of the virus. we know that transmission, particularly in secondary schools, is high. personally, i think this is definitely the lockdown to put in place now. but if that transmission, particularly in secondary schools, continues to rise, then, that may have to be revisited in the next four weeks. according to the office for national statistics‘ latest household survey, infection rates vary across the uk. in northern ireland one in 80 people is estimated to have covid—i9. in scotland, it's one “1140. in wales, it's one in 120. and in england, the average is one in 100. but in the north—west it's one in 43, and the south—east, it's one in 220 people. the prime minister says the measures are to prevent the nhs being overwhelmed, which would be a medical and moral disaster. currently, there are more than 9,000 people with covid—i9 in english hospitals. almost 500 are on ventilators. i think the prime minister had no

choice but to act on very clear evidence that the trajectory of hospital admissions, demand on the health service, was such that we just would have been overwhelmed in the coming weeks, to the point that it wouldn't just be a case of not managing the surge in patients with covid, but actually the nhs would not have been able to provide services to large numbers of non—covid patients. rapid testing has been pointed to as one of the ways out of the shutdown, and is being trialled at the minute. there are different rules across the uk. wales‘s firebreak is still due to end on ninth november. schools will reopen in northern ireland tomorrow. and other measures are set to be relaxed in two weeks. while scotland will follow a five—tier system. the uk r number is thought to be around 1.2. bringing that down will be just one of the ways of measuring how long this latest lockdown will last. lauren moss, bbc news. let's hear now from

conservative mp and former education secretary, damian hinds. ijust wondered to i just wondered to what extent can the government expect the country to be united behind these fairly tough measures when there is even division within the conservative party itself over the merits of this lockdown? within the conservative party itself over the merits of this lockdown7m is incredibly difficult times for so long now. it is devastating news, of course, that we have to go into this second national lockdown. of course, people feel very strongly about it. the effect on people's businesses, seeing theirfamilies, the effect on people's businesses, seeing their families, going the effect on people's businesses, seeing theirfamilies, going to church and all those things that are essential to people's lives. it is a terrible disruption but people know that it terrible disruption but people know thatitis terrible disruption but people know that it is necessary. these aren't decisions that the prime minister or any prime minister would ever want to have to make. i think people will

pull together and of course there will be huge concerns and huge disappointment and of course mps will scrutinise what government is doing and told it to account but ultimately, like other countries in europe, by the way, going through this exact same process or very close to it, we are going to have to pull together to make sure we bear down on this terrible virus. is the point i have in mind is that if someone point i have in mind is that if someone is a senior is the former conservative leader, sir iain duncan smith saying that sage, the scientific advisory group, has pressurised the government with members publicly lecturing the government of giving in to scientific advisers. does that not significantly undermined that them the message that the prime minister and the government is trying to get out and undermine public trust in what is trying to be done?” out and undermine public trust in what is trying to be done? i think it isa what is trying to be done? i think it is a good thing that we have a robust infrastructure of scientific

advice. it is never only one scientific advice. there are elements of that advice that they come together in this group to advise the government. it is right that the government acts on that advice. the government also has to keepin advice. the government also has to keep in mind other things, of course. year the scientists and the medics acknowledging this, that when you are the government you also have to think about the economy. this has an effect on the line on peoples health. you have to think about the education of our children. you have to think of mental health and physical health in the short term. these are all important considerations but of course it is right that government listens to and a cts right that government listens to and acts upon the advice of the experts. i'm glad you mentioned the education point because as former education secretary, i'm sure you know more than most the importance of education and keeping schools, colleges and universities open at a time like this. however, professor

ferguson, whose modelling was crucial to the first lockdown, said that keeping schools and education institutes open will mean that the rate decreases more slowly. had you strike balance? there is balance year. it is really important to remind ourselves the health effects of school go far beyond this question of coronavirus. kids are out of school for extended periods. that is bad for their mental health and for physical health. you are out of the routine, you act out of even the exercise from going to and from school. the mixing with other children from your school, your friends, growing up is incredibly important. when you do a lockdown, you have to make some very difficult judgments about what you are going

to prioritise. any kind of human interaction carries some risk of the virus spreading but you know that you need to keep essential shops open, you know that you need to keep medicalfacilities open, you know that you need to keep medical facilities open. open, you know that you need to keep medicalfacilities open. we open, you know that you need to keep medical facilities open. we actually have really prioritised this time making sure that children's education can't continue. both for the education but also for other health and child development reasons that i mentioned. i'm sure you will have had many messages and e—mails from businesses in your constituency about the impact this is having on them. one thing i am saying on twitter, people have asked when i spoke to the federation of small businesses about an hour ago, what is going to be done to support those who are self—employed. the furlough scheme has been extended but those who are self—employed are still rather very worried. i have heard from a lot of businesses in the last 24 from a lot of businesses in the last 2a hours. a lot of individuals, a lot of sole traders, a whole range

of people in business. throughout this crisis, which has gone on for so this crisis, which has gone on for so long now, you have seen the chancellor step up and put in place support for our economy and for business. it is one of the biggest most expansive programmes in the world. we'll have to see over the coming days and weeks what's more the treasury has to say. we will see more details on the measures themselves coming out tomorrow. but themselves coming out tomorrow. but the furlough scheme is in place, there is in place the cash support for businesses which are legally required to close as well as the range of other measures. police say they are continuing to deal with an illegal rave at a warehouse near bristol. officers were called to yate at around ten thirty last night and said up to 700 people were in attendance.

police said some of the crowd became violent, with items including lit spray cans and bottles thrown at officers. two people are in custody. the leaders of the catholic church in england and wales have asked the government to provide evidence to justify why places of worship should close in the second lockdown beginning on thursday. cardinal vincent nichols and archbishop malcolm mcmahon have issued a statement calling into question why churches will have to close saying communal acts of worship were a "common good" for all. our correspondentjohn mcmanus is with me. what more do we know about the representations to government? they have been very quick on the mark. during the last lockdown, people of faith were unhappy but criticism was muted. this time round, it's a statement from the most senior

catholic in britain came out pretty early in the morning. i suspect that he and his colleagues have thought very clearly about what they would say if there were another lockdown which affected churches. the criticism is quite strong. he said, we asked the government to produce evidence that justifies this cessation of acts of public worship. he said they are not aware of any information that suggests that this. the spread of cover 19. the archbishop of leeds has written to the prime minister and asked him to change his mind on this measure. the muslim council of britain have also released a statement saying they are disappointed that the pm has not mentioned the impact of these measures. they say there has been inadequate consultation and the distinction of individual worship of does not apply to mosques. it says people can go into churches and pray privately but for many mosques which are run by volunteers, and played

unlike clergy in the catholic church and the church of england, that is simply not possible. people can't ask access them. the muslim council say the government has not thought this through. places of worship are open for communal worship but open for private prayer? that's right. they can pray privately and individually presumably socially distance because they were be many people there. they say that they've worked hard to make their places of worship covered 19 secure. in a mask there was an online service for friday prayers including people having a bar code allowing them in, was in place. many places of worship of thought carefully about this and they feel the government has not kept up with how far they have gone and they want to see the evidence as to why the government thinks

communal acts of worship might help coronavirus to spread. thank you very much. on the bbc news channel we'll be answering your questions on the national lockdown in england and restrictions in other parts of the uk. that's at nine thirty tomorrow morning. so send your questions to hashtag bbc your questions or email them to yourquestions at bbc dot co dot uk and if you would like to know more about the new restrictions and what they mean for you, you can learn more on the bbc‘s website by visting www.bbc.co.uk forward slash news. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. mercedes have broken yet another formula one record. they've clinched a seventh consecutive constructors championship after lewis hamilton won the emilia—romagna grand prix at imola in italy. hamilton had recovered from a poor start and moved up from third place to first with a well—timed pit stop, taking advantage of the virtual

but as ever, it should be remembered winning the popular vote does not win you the presidency. lets get more form nomia iqbal who is at one miami polling station. record numbers of people have voted early, two politicians now that is right. 8 million people have already cast their ballots. 10 million people had voted in 2016. there is still more dope voting to be done, today's the last day in—person voting. there is a deadline here in florida for people to cast their votes at 7pm. it is really tight. i think you can see that from the signs, tramp and pants and biden and harris. it comes down to the electoral real. if donald

trump does not win then his path back to the white house is nearly impossible. biden has a lot of pass back to the white house. it isn't very important state to donald trump. he will be returning for one more rally. we have the three at tricks of the final push for votes in the crucial states don't we? we do. where i am in miami, it is a crucial county. that is because of its diverse mix here. more than 70% of people here are a t know and specifically cu ban—america ns. of people here are a t know and specifically cuban—americans. their vote to both men. cuban—americans generally tend to be right leaning, they are republican, they share

similar values with conservative white americans for example, pro—life. another message that resonates is socialism and communism. many of them had families that flagged the fidel castro regime. when donald trump claims thatjoe biden would bring back socialism. that does resonate with them. when it comes to florida, you can never count out the republicans. to mark scotland's deputy first minister said it would be foolish to rule out another lockdown. rule out there were 1, 148 new cases of coronavirus reported in scotland over the past 2a hours. another six people died within 28 days of a positive covid test, and 44 people were admitted to hospital yesterday, taking the total number to 1,193.

more on the lockdown in england, many people are of course extremely worried on the effects on business, small business owners and self employed people among them. let's speak now to tania howe who runs betty loves candles in wakefield. what is the situation for you as you go into the next national lockdown asa go into the next national lockdown as a business? it is absolutely devastating for me. we're coming up to the major of the sales. we sell candles and gift and 60% of my sales is now. i'm absolutely devastated. what would help you and businesses like yours? obviously, we need support. we've got to rent, lights and everything to pay for. it's hard. it's customers we need. we could have some government funding

but we need to be open. we are independent, we need to be open and carry on trading. supermarkets are still open so why not the independent shops?” still open so why not the independent shops? i suppose, it may sound cold to say it but some people may say that supermarkets are selling essentials, food, drinks, items that people cannot live without. items like cards and candles are not essential by definition. that is where the distinction is. they are not essential but they are good for your well being and doing these dark nights, people want them. it's christmas time, people need gifts. people have been saying to me today, we have had a very busy day today because of everything going on, that they feel safer in my shop than the supermarkets. they can still get their food and drinks from

independent grocers, butchers, independent grocers, butchers, independent shops. it is the safety aspect, why we are having a lockdown but it is a knock—on effect. aspect, why we are having a lockdown but it is a knock-on effect. it is much harderfor small but it is a knock-on effect. it is much harder for small businesses like yours to go to the expense of making that shops coronavirus safe, installing plastic screens, making sure there is distancing, allowing customers in. presumably that has a bigger impact on a small business than ona bigger impact on a small business than on a larger chain. yes it does but we can control the customers. we are smaller so we can have one person in at a time. people are not really browsing now, they know what they want. they come in wearing a mask, pick their goods and go. less people in a shop are willing to go in and take the goods. we are now building up our website, which is new, iam having building up our website, which is new, i am having to do it quickly over the weekend. if i can, i will doa over the weekend. if i can, i will do a click and collect. that will help me if i am allowed to do it. i

just need to see if i can at the moment. wish you all the best and as these dark evenings coming, a little bit of light from a candle is very comforting and warm. thank you very much. but first, at least four people are reported to have died as the strongest typhoon so far this year hammers the philippines. typhoon goni made landfall before dawn with what the authorities called "catastrophic" winds of more than 200 and 25 kilometres an hour, and intense rain. our correspondent in manila, howard johnson, sent this report. the most powerful storm on earth this year. it hit the small island of catanduanes just before 5am this morning. hours later, it made its second landfall, tearing through the popular tourist province of albay. famous for its picturesque mayon volcano, today goni turned the region into a watery mess. strong winds whipped and lashed trees and electricity lines. flash floods inundated rivers and roads. people clambered onto roofs

of their homes to stay above the water line. the united nations fear that more than 20 million people are in the path of the typhoon. the philippine authorities have urged them to take refuge. translation: i evacuated because it's better to be safe. since i can't walk, i would have to crawl to get out when the winds get stronger. but if i can walk, i would prefer to stay in our place. translation: i'm afraid, because my mother's house is already weak and about to get crushed. goni is now heading to the philippine capital, metro manila. you can see the bands of thick clouds over here on the outer reaches of the weather system. 13 million people live in the city, but it's unusually quiet today as people begin hunkering down for the night. but the biggest concern remains for the town of virac on catanduanes. it was the first urban area to be hit by the storm, and communications remain down.
