this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 7.00. the government says that england's four—week lockdown could be extended for longer, if coronavirus infection rates don't come down enough. 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 this time to fix test, trace and isolate then i think 2nd december will be a review date, not an end date. with the furlough scheme also extended for lockdown, we hear from businesses on what it might mean for the economy.

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 search for survivors continues, in the turkish city worst hit by the earthquake which killed more than 60 people. the england world cup winner and manchester united legend sir bobby charlton has been diagnosed with dementia. good evening. come to bbc news. —— welcome. the four—week lockdown in england,

which will start on thursday — and is scheduled to end on december 2nd — could last longer. 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 1. the strict measures are set to come into effect on thursday. they'll see pubs, restaurants, gyms and non—essential 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—breaker", where a tight set of restrictions would have been implemented for a fixed period of time. this report from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, contains flash photography. a round of golf while it's still allowed.

here in hertfordshire, only the minimum restrictions are currently in place, but like the rest of england, people are now preparing for a new national lockdown. i think it's frustrating here, because the cases aren't that bad, and we've all been, you know, following the rules that we were given. golf's just been so fantastic for so many people. while people may not agree with it, we've got to stick with it. so it's a bit frustrating, yes, but rules are rules. well, i wasn't surprised, i think it was inevitable. i'm glad that they're keeping the schools open. but i think it was needed, really. the lockdown is due to last until 2nd december, but a senior government minister said that was a hope, not a guarantee, and left open the option of restrictions staying in place for longer. if we ensure that all the steps that we're taking now are taken appropriately, we'll have an opportunity — in advance of december 2nd — to review the progress that we are making, and in advance of december 2nd, we can then communicate to those

areas where some restrictions may be required what they will be and also other areas where we've managed to beat back the virus, we can explain where liberties can be restored. labour say they'll support the plan, but their leader is adamant it should have happened sooner. if what they announced yesterday had been announced when i said it should have been, two or three weeks ago, we could have had the lockdown and schools shut because of the natural break of half term. and, you know, people will be waking up this morning and thinking, how on earth did it get to this? the government has to keep its side of the bargain here, because if they don't use this time to fix test, trace and isolate, then i think 2nd december will be a review date, not an end date. some conservative mps remain unconvinced that a lockdown is needed now and may yet vote against it in the house of commons this week. with labour's backing, the plan is likely to pass, but that won't end the debate about whether this month—long lockdown is the right thing to do and where england will be at the end of it. 0ne scientist advising the government said a return to regional restrictions

may be unrealistic. what mustn't happen is, whenever that data comes, 2nd 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, or tier 3 plus, across the country. i don't think it makes sense to go back into regional variation in the restrictions that are in place immediately after this set of more draconian measures are lifted. schools are staying open, unlike during the national lockdown early in the year. some argue that means it may take longer to bring the virus back under control. although some areas have been living under tighter restrictions for some time, this week will bring new limitations for everyone in england. what was the government's last resort has become a reality. jonathan blake, bbc news.

this latest lockdown has been prompted by the recent rises in infection rates. but what are the other key indicators which would allow restrictions to be eased? here's our health correspondent, lauren moss. from thursday, the message in england will once again be stay home to save lives. non—essential shops and hospitality will close. schools and universities will stay open. the prime minister has said the measures are to prevent a medical disaster of the nhs being overwhelmed. i think the prime minister had no choice but to act on very clear evidence that the trajectory of hospital admissions demanded the health service was such admissions demand of the health service was such that we would have been overwhelmed in the coming weeks, to the point that it wouldn'tjust 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. there are more than 9,000 patients with covid currently

in english hospitals. some including those in liverpool, lancashire and nottinghamshire are treating more coronavirus patients now than during the first peak during the first wave. getting the reproduction number of the virus below one is crucial. anything above that means it is spreading. in september, scientists looked at the effect different interventions could have on the r number, which is thought to be around 1.2 at the minute. a full lockdown like we had in march, that included schools closing, would have the biggest impact. it's thought the measures introduced in spring reduced the r by around 75%. they estimated closing pubs, restaurants, bars and cafes would have a moderate impact on transmission, bringing r down by 0.i—0.2. and they also considered the closure of non—essential retail and found that on its own it would have a minimal impact. there is a level of uncertainty around these figures, and they're based on data before cases reached the severity they are at now. but it's hoped the measures being introduced will bring that r number down.

lockdown isn't a long—term solution, though. you have to use it as an opportunity to improve the test, trace and isolation, and that is an exit strategy, and until we get mass testing up and running, fast turnarounds, and it is the fast turnaround, no use having a system that waits five days for a test result, because you can't get ahead of the virus. the prime minister has promised that a roll—out of rapid testing, which will give results within 15 minutes, is imminent. care has also advanced since march. the sickest patients can now be treated with the steroid dexamethasone, and some nightingale hospitals are on standby. many hopes are pinned on a vaccine, with scientists predicting positive results by the end of the year. until then, reducing the spread of the virus and limiting its effect are the only ways of indicating how long this latest lockdown will last. lauren moss, bbc news.

let's ta ke let's take you through the latest government figures. they show there were 23,254 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. that means that the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is now 23,016. 162 deaths were reported, that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. it means on average in the past week 260 deaths were announced every day. it takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to 46,717. even a one—month lockdown will cost the government billions of pounds in extra support for businesses and employees. our business correspondent, katy austin, has been analysing where the money will be spent and what impact it will have. when pubs and restaurants have

to shut, there is an impact the diners don't see — for firms in the supply chain. like this hampshire food wholesaler. we depend on hospitality for about 80% of our trade and the other 20% is care homes, hospitals, schools, so this is a big body blow. takeaways will still be allowed, to the relief of the owner of this restaurant in essex. we will simply revert our business back to a takeaway and deliveries and hopefully we will be doing a lot better than we did early part of the year. and what about jobs? furlough continuing will undoubtedly save many of them, but it comes too late for others. airport workerjake got his redundancy notice this week. it was gut—wrenching when i got it and obviously at the moment, with the fact that we are entering the second lockdown, finding anotherjob is ultimately going to be quite difficult. people being told not to travel abroad is another blow to aviation,

while the shutdown comes just when retailers hoped to benefit from pre—christmas shopping. the original furlough scheme cost at least £40 billion. and the extended version looks set to add further billions to that price tag. there will also be grants available to businesses in england which are forced to close, up to £3,000 a month. and there is an extension to mortgage holidays for struggling homeowners. again, the government is spending to try and minimise the damage of its restrictions. before yesterday's announcement, the government had committed something in the order of £200 billion to support the economy over this year. now, that is a staggeringly big number. additional amounts over the next, if it's just another month, will be a relatively small fraction of that, but again if it is two or three or four months, that is going to push that number from 200 billion up into 210, 220, 230 billion. in april, under the first lockdown, the uk economy shrank by a fifth. that sort of figure isn't expected again this time,

but some industries fear a bleak winter. katy austin, bbc news. and tomorrow morning 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 9.30 tomorrow morning. so send your questions to #bbcyourquestions, or email them to yourquestions@bbc. co. uk. rescue teams are continuing to search for around 100 people — missing since friday's earthquake which struck turkey's aegean coast and several greek islands. at least 60 people were killed — and thousands have been made homeless. in the turkish city of izmir survivors have been pulled out of the rubble of collapsed buildings — including a 70—year—old. 0ur international correspondent

0rla guerin reports from the scene. they have been praying here for miracle rescues. 0vernight, they got one — a 70—year—old man called ahmet citim who had been buried for 33 hours, carried out alive. he was reclaimed from this — the wreckage of an eight—storey apartment block, now all but erased from the landscape. a local official told us residents were worried and asked for an inspection over a year ago. it concluded the building wouldn't survive an earthquake. well, the search is continuing here, hour after hour. the rubble is several storeys high, and standing here, seeing all of this crushed concrete, it's hard to imagine that anyone else could be brought out alive. but the teams are still searching by hand, with heavy equipment, and with dogs.

nearby, relatives are keeping an anguished vigil. many haven't left the site since the moment of the earthquake at 2:51pm on friday afternoon. erdil is one of them — waiting for news of his beloved sister. she worked in a dental office on the ground floor of the building. my sister's university friend and other friend, every time called me, every time calling me, writing, on instagram, on the phone, every time, writing, calling, every people call me. we arejust waiting. some here are still clinging to hope, but the death toll is rising, and across this ea rthquake—prone country, many are now asking, could we be next? 0rla guerin, bbc news, izmir.

the headlines on bbc news — it is just approaching 7:15pm. a senior government minister warns the second national lockdown in england could last more than a month — amid fears that the rise in coronavirus cases could overwhelm hospitals. with the furlough scheme also extended for lockdown, we hearfrom businesses — and what it might mean for the economy. 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 aegean on friday, killing more than 60 people. with the us election just two days away, president trump is campaigning in the five states he needs to win if he's to stay in the white house. he's trailing the democrat candidate, joe biden, in opinion polls, but hopes promises of massive tax cuts will sway undecided voters.

let's just take a quick look at how the polls are shaping up. mr trump has yet to narrow the gap on his democratic challenger — who holds a nine—point lead nationwide. but as ever, it should be remembered that winning the popular vote does not win you the presidency. well, mr trump has been speaking at his rally — so let's get a flavour of what he's been saying. we have the number one economy in the world right now by far. cheering by far. and we're not losing it on my watch, i can tell you that. joe biden, sleepy joe, spent 47 years outsourcing your jobs, opening your borders and sacrificing american blood and treasure in endless foreign wars. michigan lost half of its auto jobs thanks to biden's nafta and china disasters.

that was president trump speaking earlier. our correspondent, gary 0'donoghue, has been at donald trump's rally in michigan. he said it was part of a busy day on the campaign trailfor the president. so michigan is donald trump's first stop of the day on this whirlwind tour of five battle ground key states over the next few hours. these are the key states he has to win if he wants to retain his place in the white house. his message today has been one of economic nationalism. that message that took him to the white house in the first place in 2016, warning people here in michigan that they will lose theirjobs, lose their industries ifjoe biden is elected. he even claimed there were no auto plants here in michigan, really the home of the us car industry, no plants here, he said, four years ago. that is not true. also, donald trump has been talking about his opponentjoe biden,

criticising him for his supposed gaffes and lapses of memory. they have been playing videos of that. and donald trump has been complaining about the weather in michigan as well. it is cold and he was clearly suffering from that during the speech. he even chose to make a joke about refugees from syria, saying they would not want to come to michigan, they would rather go back to syria because it's too cold. so this is the beginning of a multistate push in the last couple of days for donald trump, possibly a dozen, or 13 states in these last couple of days, as he battles to overcome his lagging in the opinion polls. gary 0'donoghue there. donald trump's last rally of the day is in florida, where it is also the last day of pre—election voting in the state. 0ur correspondent nomia iqbal is at a miami polling station. you are at a polling station? yes,

this is the last day of in—person voting in florida is one of those key swing states, 29 electoral votes up key swing states, 29 electoral votes upforgrabs and key swing states, 29 electoral votes up for grabs and donald trump really needs florida and he needs people to vote for him. one person's vote he definitely doesn't have is ellie's. early lives here in miami. tell me why you want joe early lives here in miami. tell me why you wantjoe biden to be present. one of the reasons why i wa nt present. one of the reasons why i wantjoe present. one of the reasons why i want joe biden to present. one of the reasons why i wantjoe biden to be president is that my brother patrick died in march, march the 2nd, very suddenly, unexpectedly at age 41 and it wasn't until much later that we found out that he died of an acute lung injury, likely caused by covid. and so injury, likely caused by covid. and so for me and my family, we have been suffering so much and we realised, my goodness, we need a president and an administration that will take this disease very seriously, that will better unite the country to fight this disease and get the economy back on track and get the economy back on track and protect lives, protect lives like my brother. we are both here in

miami dade, we know that miami dade is such a crucial county, it has a large cuban—american population, you are cuban—american, and one of the m essa 9 es are cuban—american, and one of the messages donald trump is trying to get out there to get that vote is talking about how he claimsjoe biden is a socialist and communist, and that message does work with some cuban—americans but it doesn't work with you, right? no, in fact i'm very scared of his authoritarianism, and my mother, she passed away two years ago, but she got to see donald trump for two years, my mother fled cuba, and when she saw how he started attacking the media relentlessly it really triggered her, she said, oh, my god, this reminds me of fidel castro, that's what he did when he first came into power, he attacked the media relentlessly. and so for me, his message of, you know, i'm scared of him, i'm scared of his authoritarianism. just quickly, ellie, what is it like to live in a state where everybody wants your

vote ? state where everybody wants your vote? politicians come down here wanting you to vote for them. what is it like? you realise that every vote matters, every vote counts, and that this is a state where we are really battling ideas and really trying to have conversations, trying to have honest conversations. it's difficult when people start telling us difficult when people start telling us things that are not true. for me it is sifting through the untruth to really get what is true, what is going on, informing my conscious for me. my faith is very important to me. my faith is very important to me. forming my conscience as a voter and deciding to vote, especially to protect lives around this pandemic, the affordable care act so that people are not losing their insurance during this pandemic, and also climate change. i care very much about god's creation and protecting all of god's creation. really good to talk to you, thank you, ellie. as you heard from early, every vote matters and it definitely matters in florida. nomia iqbal, thank you very much. at least four

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 this city but it is 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. the municipality is believed to be home to more than 70,000 people. howard johnson, bbc news, manila. police officers were attacked
