people are desperate for connection, are grappling with reality people want to be out meeting each other. and we have to find a balance, i guess, between covid brought on by the pandemic that were unimaginable just a few restrictions and the well—being months ago. and mental health of our nations. it's very easy to focus on christmas as the big family thing and it is, but one christmas i haven't seen these in years. might not have as big a deal for less christmases in the future for some members of our families. this map shows the areas this one's pretty. with the highest rates look at that. of covid—19 infections. i like that. in england, parts of the northwest and northeast, east and west yorkshire, north lincolnshire and the east i still have it, i kept it. midlands could well find themselves back in tier 3. salvatore is trying meanwhile, parts of west to hold onto the good memories. and central scotland are already in the so we have my parent's country's highest level wedding pictures. of restrictions when the coronavirus hit new york in until december 11th. march, he closed his business and moved in with his parents and northern ireland is facing another two weeks to help them get of lockdown from friday, having through the pandemic. this is one of my just reopened some services. it's the pressure that hospitals favourite pictures. like this one are under that is it's hard. the real source of concern. i'm told they're now busier than they were back in the spring during i thought i was protecting them. the first surge of covid,

i was doing everything and there are also concerns over what the advice will be i needed to do. for people over christmas. i would like to see the right decisions being made, what i was supposed to do, based on the science. what i was told to do, i think it's more likely but itjust didn't help. that we will be able to get together at christmas if people stick rigidly to what is recommended he lost his father arthur at this stage. to covid—i9 on april the 2nd. i worry that he woke up shivering. with people breaching i've never seen him like that. the recommendations, we'll be i called 911 and that was the last time i saw him. in this for the long haul. two days later, the virus claimed his mother. the uk's four nations have agreed on a mark to make more my mother was beautiful. she really was. it breaks my heart. it really does. my dad died on april 2nd and my mum died in april the 4th. and my aunt terri died in april the 6th. so that week was terrible. memories, at this point, is all you have left.

i don't know where my father is buried. i don't think i'll ever have closure. he is still sleeping on the couch of his parents‘ four—story home. i haven't gone to the bedrooms. tomorrow will be four weeks since they've been gone. i haven't gone into the bedrooms. i can't. i just cant. his parents are some of more than the 7000 coronavirus victims in brooklyn. bay ridge is like a small town in a big city. for decades it has had a large italian and irish community. today though it's more diverse, with growing arab, chinese and latino populations.

it still retains that small town feeling. neighbours know each other, families have lived here for generations. but the coronavirus pandemic is making the future a lot more uncertain. with many in the neighbourhood in desperate need, charities have stepped up. he is picking up one more box for his friend. mohammad runs a volunteer group, muslims giving back. he turned his mosque into a food bank.

times are very rough and a lot of these families are undocumented, so don't get the stimulus payments many of us enjoy. they don't get unemployment that many of us take for granted. even before the crisis he saw the need to help working—class immigrant families in his community. have a good day. but he wasn't prepared for what happened when things closed overnight to combat the virus. once the lockdown was announced, there was a surge, a spike with numerous families coming out saying hey, we are going to need your help few weeks because it's going to get bad for us. families across the neighbourhood are struggling and his food pantry is feeding 125 families a week, that's nearly triple the number before the pandemic. clearly this coronavirus has caused a lot of pain. you've heard a lot of stories. what is the most heartbreaking thing you've heard.

the worst ones, the numerous widows that all of a sudden exist in our communities. the breadwinner of the family has passed away because of coronavirus, leaving behind children. these families were not financially secure to begin with. it's may, and the virus is still raging in the city. nearly 20,000 new yorkers have died due to covid—19. lockdown measures still remain in place. it's also the holy month of ramadan, but social distancing has made it different from past years. this is the month where you are supposed to feed your spirituality, regain that strength and increase your faith, so it's a very important month.

if we could be would start packing, every day. we make about 300 meals every day. to help, muhammad and his crew are handing out free food. the meal used to break the fast during ramadan. yellow is one for the memories. i am going to remember this ramadan for the rest of my life. this neighbourhood is the most populous arab area in new york city. if the community cannot come to us we will go to them. do you want to see a plate of the food? we have giro, chicken and a beautiful salad with chickpeas and cucumbers. many muslim families rely on the free meals they receive at the mosque, but with mosques closed due to the virus, that help has gone. it became very difficult in our community. 0ur mosque is closed,

and for a lot of the recent immigrants and refugees in our community, the undocumented, the mosque is the refuge. for sal, who is grieving the loss of both his parents, to covid—19, his refuges work. he owns hom with his partner and it's been a staple on the bay ridge high street for 19 years. but when the pandemic hit the pair were forced to close up shop. in may they decided it was time to reopen. me being here, it's keeping me busy, so it's keeping me

focused, which helps me with my pain with my family. i try to keep it together, when inside i'm really hurting. sometimes you've gotta let it out. it's tough. but the decision was bittersweet. hom reopened on mother's day in america. somebody told me that particular day that my parents want me to do what i'm doing, and it brought a smile to my face because they do. i have to push through. the support of the community has been a real help. we will be here till six. neighbours even set out to go fund me page to assist with the mounting bills. bay ridge is a very tight—knit community. we will support each other. the reopening isn't

the only change for him. the couple have decided to move out of their bay ridge apartment back into sal's parents house. welcome. come in. how are you? it's been ages. it's been a while. i just started cleaning out my parents‘ bedroom, and it's only clothes and material things but if i would pick up a shirt i knew my mum would weigh or a jacket my dad would wear it was just, it really affected me. it's hard. i try to keep it together at work.

muslims meet up to pray before heading into manhattan. the volunteers have been feeding the homeless since the charity started six years ago. they recently scaled up their operation. we have found a replacement for that spirituality that we lost. now it's going out all night and feeding the homeless. this is what praying looks like. this is praying through action. he realised during this crisis the city's homeless were being forgotten. get some fruit punch.

churches and places of worship that had soup kitchens, they're closed.. just look at the amount of people, even though it's raining. i made that kool—aid! that hurts! my wife was like you are going to kill us and you are going to bring the virus you but am i going to risk my family to help others? what are my responsibilities? day 100 of the coronavirus crisis and it's the day that we started to liberate ourselves from this disease, the day we move forward. a lifeline for people out of work and businesses that have been closed for months. after three months of lockdown

new york hs finally entered phase one of reopening and it's a huge landmark for the city as it continues to recover from the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. it means that retailers can finally open their doors, even if it is just for kerb—side and in—store pick—up. sal and damien are trying to adjust to the new realities of running their business. you know, it's scary about... normally on a saturday and sunday, we are crazy busy. and as you can see, this is the new norm. and i'm not sure how we're going to survive an 80% drop in sales when we're paying 100% on everything else. hi, how are you? how's it going? be safe. i have two mortgages and the rent, i have three electric bills, three phone bills, three cable bills. i have three of everything.

christine can take care of it, absolutely. we can't survive on masks, it's impossible. i have always paid my bills. i pay everybody before i pay myself. but when there is no money coming in, there is nothing you can do. i don't think they are understanding that and there is not much help. sal is worried his business may be the next thing to be taken away from him because of the coronavirus. according to the partnership for new york city, one—third of all small businesses in new york could go bust because of the pandemic. i am about to pass kimchi, a korean restaurant

in the neighbourhood and it has been here for well over a decade but it is one of the casualties. the company has announced it is going out of business. it's august and the infection rate in new york city has dropped below 1%. i hope you guys like painting. i hate painting. we've got a professional painter here! for mohammed and muslims giving back the demand for help is slowing. the less she sees the better of a surprise. but there are still plenty need. today he's doing

a home makeover. look at the mattress, see what i told you. look, it's horrible. redoing the apartment of a single pregnant mother with two young girls who was abandoned by her husband. people like her are always praying to help. and for us to be the people chosen to answer the prayers, that's a priceless feeling. this is the disinfectant spray. get that corona out of here. it's one of the best safety nets you can give to families. it gives them that hope that we are here and we will do as much as we can do. now for the hardestjob. putting up all these decorations. catch your breath?

last time we saw you, you were flat out. the infection rate has gone down and people are less sick but theirjobs are still closed, their bank accounts are still dry so the problem really didn't go away. it brings peace. mohammed is bracing himself for a second wave of the virus. still, it's the ongoing economic crisis not the health crisis he fears most. the evictions are going to start to roll back in. for me, that's the true second wave that's coming in. i'm not really worried about the covid—19 second wave, i think the evictions will be the deadliest second wave we will have in our communities. ijust miss my mom,

i miss my mommy. waves of grief continue to wash over salfour months after his parents arthur and helen died of covid—19. i still cry myself to sleep at night, i do. i cry myself to sleep at night. it's hard. he now feels a strong enough to move into his parents‘ bedroom. and so this is your room now? yeah, yeah. that must have been tough. yeah. i lived downstairs, i slept downstairs. i just moved up here a month ago. so four, five months, i slept on the couch. i needed a bed. i needed some sense of normalcy. i love you. sal now has four dogs, the two he owned and and the two he inherited from his parents. four as little much

but it's ok. i'm getting to it, kind of. heavy. this is the dress she wore to my brother's wedding. if i probably had the opportunity, i might have buried her in it. i might have done that. my mommy. that's my mommy. the start of the outbreak feels like a lifetime ago and yet bay ridge, like much of america, and indeed much of the globe, is still lost in this pandemic. from the immeasurable heartache to the goodbyes that were never said, to the economic devastation, the coronavirus

has taken memories we thought we would make and left us all struggling to adapt. for mohammed, the work of helping his community is only getting started. shepherd's pie, yes... has your faith changed throughout this pandemic? i think it definitely strengthened my faith but as as well as my humanity because it kind of forced me to translate my faith to action. doesn't matter what class you are in, it doesn't matter if you are poor or rich, you live in the west side or the east side, the north of the south, you are vulnerable like anybody else. i think a lot of people kind of bonded and came together and i saw that, especially the support for social workers. you just see strangers putting signs outside their window, "thank

you for saving lives." honest, that one of the most diverse cities in the world really unite and came together during this time of need. that's humanity.

hello there. high pressure means a largely dry but rather a chilly start to the new working week with a touch of frost in place. however, a frontal system up to the northwest will eventually change things for some as we head on up through monday. but the morning starts off rather on a chilly note. temperatures down around freezing even a touch below first on. not as cold in the far south with some extra cloud, not as cold in the far west either. in the cloud in the west

will roll its way eastwards through the day introducing rain into northern england, wales, the southwest. especially around the coast and over the hills the sunshine through the afternoon across eastern counties of england and perhaps some parts of northeast scotland. windy, particularly towards the northwest. those are the average speeds. the gusts could touch 60 mph for the western isles. turning milder from the west. it will be a bit of a struggle with those temperatures in eastern areas after such a chilly start. but as we go through monday night into tuesday, that milder air will waft its way right across the british isles. temperatures by tuesday morning, double digits for most of us. still some rain across northern ireland and scotland with quite a lot of cloud elsewhere. as you go through tuesday with this wriggling frontal system, we will see further pulses of rain across northern ireland and scotland. quite a wet day in prospect actually, on tuesday across northern ireland, some heavy rain across western parts of scotland. for england and wales, drier conditions, some spells of sunshine, best of that towards the south and the east. and tuesday will be the mildest day of the week. highs of 11, 12 or 13 degrees.

that is set to change because as we move out of tuesday and into wednesday, this wriggling frontal system will finally start to push eastwards. the rain along it will tend to weaken but behind that weather front, a cold front. we open the door to some much colder air which will start to push in from the north—west. test of the remnants of this front are likely to linger across south england. perhaps southern coastal counties more generally through the day on wednesday with some patching rain. some showers in north—west scotland, sunshine in between but temperatures for many stuck in the single digits by this stage. and it stays rather cool by day and chilly by night as we head towards the end of the week. largely dry with some frost and fog in places.
