month's national restrictions. and for these will benefit 600,000 economies and for individuals who have spent nine months with no hope business premises. whatsoever bounce in and out of lockdown with no real timeframe, any and i can confirm today that we will be distributing £2.2 billion to local authorities kind of breakthrough, at least tomorrow to allow them provide some sort of certainty. to make these vital grant there is a way out, it's going to payments to the businesses ta ke which have been affected. there is a way out, it's going to take some time, but at least we know all of these measures are designed that direction is available to us how that direction is available to us now which we just haven't had for to preservejobs and help businesses stay afloat. the last couple of month. rachel, i think given every thing that's today, we have also announced that happened, it's fair enough to be a little bit anxious, and when we hear more than 19,000 jobs about this mink situation from its 0k to be anxious. i think it's all have been created so far through our kick—start scheme. right. staying with the financial thesejobs are spread across the country and in times though, situation that, well, a variety of sectors. it's still ongoing in terms of the us election. we still haven't had i know how hard this job market is, particularly for young job—seekers joe biden the president—elect, well, donald trump is still not budging. hoping to enter the workplace for the first time. he's not conceding, james, and it the kick—start scheme is a ray feels like the republicans are of hope for young people, and i want to thank all beginning to feel frustration, the businesses which have stepped up according to the financial times.|j to participate in this scheme. i speak to businesses every day, thinkjoe biden's presidency, joe and i can see that, biden's victory, there is a sense of despite the tough times,

they are determined to soldier momentum there. he is speaking to through this through sheer world leaders, he spoke to the pope, hard work, innovation, i think world leaders, he spoke to the pope, ithink i'm world leaders, he spoke to the pope, i think i'm as you covered earlier. resilience and invoking a real community spirit they are speaking to him, he is not across the united kingdom. for example, in aberdeenshire, on daily briefings, republicans get brewdog has made hand sanitiser very worried about certain sort of to protect our front—line nhs staff. republicans get very worried about security, and traditionally, an in belfast, axial 3d has helped develop thousands incoming president—elect gets the daily security briefings, and biden of new ventilators. in surrey, carousel lights have is not getting that. and that is adapted their manufacturing disturbing for america. sol processes to produce sneeze screens is not getting that. and that is disturbing for america. so i think for gp surgeries, with a sense of momentum, this sense pharmacies and care homes. of biden has one, no evidence of in caerphilly, transcend packaging voter fraud has of biden has one, no evidence of voterfraud has come in from of the has converted production lines to create ppe, law seats are, they have to move on almost doubling their workforce in four months. and sooner or later, they are going because, despite the government's to have to start putting into support, and when it comes down process the apparatus so america can to it, it is you who are keeping be run. we will come back to this in the next edition of the papers, the country going. because we will want to focus on this a little bit longer, but ijust wa nt to this a little bit longer, but ijust want to move on before we run out of time, rachel, the daily telegraph, hello there.

let's go back to that, rishi sunak‘s the weather is going to stay unsettled for the next few days, multi—billion giveaway. talk us often wet and often windy as well, through what he is doing to try to so make the best of any sunshine boost consumer spending stop that we when it does come along. satellite picture then shows an area don't have details yet, and that's of low pressure to the northwest very important, because trending on of the uk with a squally band twitter today was that he had of rain pushing its way eastwards. well, that rain will endorsed a second eat out to help still be hanging around across parts of eastern england out scheme which obviously got a lot of people very worried because there into friday morning. is evidence that suggests that the first eat out to help out scheme was so, rain for a time across east anglia and southeast england partly to blame for rising infection with the rain clearing. what follows is a spell in the autumn. we all went out to of sunshine, so the weather restau ra nts a nd brightening up and improving. in the autumn. we all went out to restaurants and spread the virus. he it will stay blustery didn't say that's come what he did across the northwest with plenty of showers — these could be quite heavy, say is once there's a vaccine and maybe with the odd rebel of thunder. once it's been rolled out, we are but towards the southeast, the winds should become a little bit lighter. able to go back to some degree of temperatures, quite a range from 10 normality, it's going to need to be degrees in aberdeen, iii in london. iii in london is mild a big push to get people spending for the time of year, again, he didn't necessarily talk it should be about 11 degrees about restaurants, but if you think at the stage of november. the weekend's forecast, about restaurants, but if you think about it, people are scared, and welcome a low pressure dominates. they have become used to staying at you can see a whole tangle home and leading lives that are much of weather fronts crossing the uk. they'll be bringing rain at times. more home—based commander probably the rain will often be quite heavy. is going to take government there were also be some strong winds initiatives, possibly even both saturday and sunday. now, on saturday, it looks like the strongest winds will be government incentives as we saw with working through the irish sea, the restaurant scheme to get people so wales, western areas of england,

could get gusts of wind going up just getting used to being out in to about 50 odd miles per hour. public and spending money again. it's really, really important that there will be rain extending we do, because the gdp figures have northwards and eastwards, so we we'll all see rain at times. been out in the economy is down 8% maybe a few brighter spells on where it was this time last year across eastern england, but these are quite unreliable, really. and the recovery that we saw over temperatures as high 16 degrees the summer is disintegrating, so we towards the southeast, do have to kind of chart a course but perhaps not feeling quite that back to normality, and that means mild given the strength of the winds. chart a course back to normal we've got more strong spending and normal spending winds to come on sunday. patterns as well. james, again, we this time, the strongest winds working through the english channel. will come back again to this in the gusts around the south coast could reach around 50—60 mph. next edition of the papers, but the rain clears through, we've got to finish with strictly, the weather breaks, sunshine and showers, because when we talk about coming but those showers will merge back to some kind of normality, together to give some lengthier outbreaks of rain seeing strickler come dancing back across the northern areas. on the screens was a slight back to those temperatures, well, it will start to feel fresher, that's cooler air will begin to edge its way into normality, but we have been hit with sunday afternoon. the news that one of the dancers, now, turning to fresher weather, still with us on into monday, monday looks like a quieter day. claudia jones has tested positive so a little ridge of high pressure building across the uk for a time. she and nicola are now out. most of us will see sunshine. temperatures close to normal i think she and nicola are now out. for the time of year, ithinka she and nicola are now out. i think a meaner, until we have the but rain returns to the northwest vaccine rolled out and we have got through monday afternoon. now, looking at the weather widespread take—up of its, we are charts into tuesday,

going to see a lot of this. because into next week, well, again, perhaps not so bad the problem with covid—i9 is it is a day with some sunshine across england and wales. just so easy to catch. it's far more we will probably see a band of rain, though, extending into western areas easy, i was speaking to an as we go through the day. epidemiologist around when this i say probably because there is some started and he said it's a lot more uncertainty about how quickly this easy than say the flu to catch. so, rain will arrive off the atlantic. and into the middle of next week, i think we are going to see more of the forecast becomes very unsettled. this sort of thing happening at to understand why, we have to look at the jet stream, events. rachel, just very quickly, not here in the uk, but actually were you watching strictly?|j what's happening over the next when he for hours events. rachel, just very quickly, were you watching strictly? i was tuning in and out of its, but she across the pacific northwest, was my favourite because the specifically the size of these first—ever same sex couple on troughs and ridges moving in. strictly, i watched their greased because there are different lightning the other and obviously, computer simulations, and these differences start off katja catching tobit meant they had being quite small, but grow to be to drop out ijust inc. it's really quite large differences by the time sad that that's how it ended for the we get into the middle of next week first same—sex couple on strictly, across our part of the world. andi first same—sex couple on strictly, and i really hope that when there is another season back in normal times, and this plays a significant factor back when they don't have to get in what the weather will be up to. regular covert tests, we will see so, for example, there more about. absolutely, we wish all are two main scenarios, the best, a very big shame, we will one is that we see high—pressure be back with you in the next edition buildi in off the atlantic of the papers. thank you. and this would, of course, settle the weather down.

however, this looks like a less likely scenario. what looks to be more likely is a continuation of the unsettled weather with spells of rain crossing the uk with strong winds at times, the business secretary, alok sharma, brief windows of brighter weather has said the government will distribute £2.2 billion and fresher air moving in before it turns unsettled with more rain, to councils to fund grants for firms again, that looks like being forced to close as a result the most likely scenario. of lockdown measures. i think the computers may well mr sharma said it will benefit 600,000 business premises. become a bit more certain speaking at the downing street news about the forecast tomorrow. conference, he said the government understood how people's jobs and livelihoods were being affected. whilst the economy grew by 15% in the third quarter, it slowed in september, and remains 8.2% below where we were in february. we in government understand acutely the human impact this statistic represents. it's jobs, livelihoods and families affected. so we will continue to support businesses now and as they recover. the government has provided unprecedented levels of support for businesses over

the past eight months. 00:06:01,901 --> 2147483051:39:45,666 to date, that represents over 2147483051:39:45,666 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 £200 billion in support.
