in argentina, mexico '86, was something unbelievable. in naples, in barcelona, they grieved. but it's here in argentina where the pain is felt the deepest. world football has lost a legend. but this country has lost one of its favourite sons. natalio cosoy, bbc news, buenos aires. time for a look at the weather. here's daren bett. hello, some places have been lucky enough to have some sunshine today. the next few days could be quite cloudy and for a while there will be fog around too. the fog tends to form where we have like winds and clear skies under an area of high pressure but there are two micro—week weather fronts nibbling away at the edges of the uk and the one in the south—east has been

thickening the cloud in south—eastern parts of england. we have more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. this cloud in northern england very slow to sing and break up but we've got sunshine through the midlands, wales and the south—west and temperatures i 6—9 degrees typically. this evening and overnight the cloud continues to push down into scotland and northern ireland bringing a little rain and drizzle. mainly rain affecting the far south—east of england but in between with the clear skies and like winds we will find fog forming more widely probably the last night but before the fog forms and where we keep clear skies there will be some pockets of frost around as well. tomorrow, looks a little different, not least across england and wales where we have more fog around that will slowly lift but pointing to a colder day than today. scotla nd pointing to a colder day than today. scotland and northern ireland seeing cloudy skies, a bit of rain and drizzle here and there and maybe some of these showers pushing on to the south coast of england. some sunshine breaking through across northern england, wales and for a time in the south—west but through the midlands towards east anglia,

the midlands towards east anglia, the home counties and the west country, that fog lifting into low cloud so it could stay quite grey and cold as well, temperatures only for — and cold as well, temperatures only for—5 and cold as well, temperatures only for — 5 degrees. as we head into the weekend on the whole there will be cloudy skies for much of the uk but it shouldn't be quite as cold, probably not as much fog around as well. the centre of the high pressure is drifting across towards scandinavia and that means we get more of a breeze this weekend particularly on saturday and that breeze coming in from continental europe will push the cold air northwards and lift the temperatures up northwards and lift the temperatures up from the south. we start off quite cloudy in many places on saturday, could be dampness in there as well. hanging on to some sunshine in scotland after a cold and frosty start. temperatures here perhaps only 5—6 . we may get some sunshine across southern parts of england but temperatures here hitting 11—12 c. the second half of the weekend probably starting off a little greyer with a bit more mist and fog around and many places will stay cloudy. more cloud coming into western scotland. we may get

sunshine in the western coasts of england and wales and later in the south—east of england. for many, sunday will be cloudy and those temperatures typically around 8—9 c. a lot of dry weather, a lot of cold weather around as well and for a while some mist and fog. a reminder of our top story. more than 23 million people in england will be living under the most severe coronavirus restrictions when the national lockdown ends next week. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a good afternoon. good afternoon, it'sjust after 1:30, and here's your latest sports news. premier league champions liverpool are among the sides able to welcome back fans into stadiums next week, following the government's announcement on new tiers after lockdown.

liverpool, along with london, is in tier 2. london, is in tier 2, meaning clubs can allow 2,000 supporters back under strict covid guidelines. arsenal are expected to become the first premier league side to see fans back, in their europa league match in north london a week today. sides in tieri areas will be alllowed up to 4,000 supporters. but for clubs in tier 3, they have to wait till local restrictions are eased — which means no crowds for manchester united, manchester city, leeds, aston villa, and leicester. their manager, speaking before the new guidelines, says many will feel upset at missing out. it probably won't be fair. there is going to be part of the country where some supporters won't get in, but i think it's very hard to deny people, you know, whose lives depend and love so much, to not get into a ground. so clubs in the lower level that can get 4000 supporters in, you may be looking at up to 50% of the

crowd is actually in the grounds, so i think that's going to be hugely beneficial. a team like ourselves, we wa nt beneficial. a team like ourselves, we want to have our supporters, both home and away, and hopefully that will be in the not—too—distant future. the tributes continue to pour in for diego maradona, one of the most iconic football players ever, who died of a heart attack yesterday at the age of 60. we're expecting more later from one of his former clubs napoli, who play later in the europa league. these are pictures of tributes in buenos aires. maradona saw football as an escape, a salvation from a difficult childhood, growing up in on one of the poorest parts of argentina's capital — but it was said by those closest to him, that he paid a heavy price for his fame — with well documented addiction and health problems over the years. england have named their side to take on wales this weekend in the autumn nations cup. george ford returns to the side. ford made his comeback from injury off the bench in the win against ireland, but is back, alongside captain owen farrell and henry slade.

england are unbeaten in the autumn nations cup so far, with the win over ireland following a 40—0 defeat of georgia. victory against wales would mean they finish top of group a — and would compete for the title against the winner of group b next week. meanwhile, cardiff blues scrum—half lloyd williams will make his first wales start for four years. the back row will be missing justin tipuric and josh navidi — both are out through injury. wing josh adams will be part of the backline replacing johnny mcnicholl, who's out with a rib injury. sydney thunder will play the melbourne stars in the final of the women's big bash after sydney pulled off a thrilling 12 run victory over the brisbane heat. england's tammi beaumont and heather knight were playing for sydney. both got a start in their innings, but both got out once well set. knight went for 17 and beaumont for 27. sydney's total of i43 looked vulnerable, and brisbane looked on course for victory, but they collapsed to 131 all out with nine balls still remaining. beaumont played her part with this

run out as brisbane fell apart. before we go, don't forget, you can catch up with all the latest from snooker‘s uk championship. this morning, mark allen made it through to round 2 with a 6—1 win overjamie wilson. you can find more that and all of our stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport thanks, gavin. see you later. a very good afternoon. this is bbc news. i'mjane hill, to ta ke this is bbc news. i'mjane hill, to take you through the next few hours of coverage, particularly around coronaviruses afternoon, as you would expect, and we will have lots of reaction to the afternoon about the new tiers that are coming into place throughout england next week once the new national lockdown ends. we will talk a little more about that right now. we have heard from the government in the last few hours. more news about this restrictions will apply to different

parts of england. most places will be in the two toughest levels of measures, and that means millions of people will face a ban on household mixing indoors, and pubs will have to shut unless they serve meals. pubs and restaurants can you ta keaway pubs and restaurants can you takeaway only. in the house of commons, the health secretary matt hancock gave mps more details. the lowest rates are in cornwall, the isles of scilly and the isle of wight, which will go into tier i. i wa nt to wight, which will go into tier i. i want to thank residents are out for being vigilant through the whole pandemic. i know that many other areas will want to be in tier i. i understand that. my own constituency of west suffolk has the lowest rate in the whole country, they want to

thank the leaders of suffolk and west suffolk councils for this achievement. but despite this, despite the fact that suffolk overall has the lowest case rate outside of cornwall in the isle of wight, our judgment, looking outside of cornwall in the isle of wight, ourjudgment, looking at all of the indicators, and based on the public health advice, is that suffolk needs to be in tier 2 to get the virus further under control. i hope that suffolk and other parts of the country can get to tieri soon, the country can get to tieri soon, the more people stick to rules, the sooner the more people stick to rules, the sooner that can happen. we must make the right judgments, guided sooner that can happen. we must make the rightjudgments, guided by the science. the of england will be in tier 2, but science. the of england will be in tier2, but in science. the of england will be in tier 2, but in a significant number of areas, tier 2, but in a significant number ofareas, i'm tier 2, but in a significant number of areas, i'm afraid, they need to be in tier3 of areas, i'm afraid, they need to be in tier 3 to bring case rates down. i know how tough this is, both for areas that have been in restrictions for a long time like leicester and greater manchester, and also for areas where cases have risen sharply recently, like

bristol, the west midlands, and kent. the full allocations have been published this morning and laid as a written ministerial statementjust before this statement began. i understand the impact that these measures will have. they are necessary , measures will have. they are necessary, given the scale of the threat that we face. we will review the measures in a fortnight and keep them regularly under review after that. i want to thank everybody at the tier 3 areas for the sacrifices they are making, notjust to protect themselves and their families put their whole community. regardless of your tier, i ask everyone, we must all think of our own responsibility is to keep the virus under control. we should see these restrictions not asa we should see these restrictions not as a boundary to push, but as a limit on what the public health advice says we can safely do in any area. but frankly, the less any one person passes on the disease, the faster we can get this disease under control together, and that is on all

of us. health secretary matt hancock, speaking in the commons. as i say, much more reaction all afternoon, and in the next hour in particular, ican and in the next hour in particular, i can tell you we will certainly be talking to the mayor of greater manchester and the mayor of london, and much more besides. so we will have political and business reaction to those statements. they will vary, of course, depending on which tier you are in. that is coming back to two o'clock. across the uk, christmas bubbles can be formed between the 23rd on 24th of september. the scottish government has announced their specific rules for meeting family and friends this morning. across the five—day period, people in scotland will be able to form christmas bubbles of three households. however, the bubble should contain no more than eight people. children under the age of 12 will not count towards the total number. in england, there's no limit

to the number of people in a christmas bubble. and the government advises the number is kept "as small as possible". no separate guidance has been published for wales and northern ireland yet. here's what the scottish first minister nicola sturgeon had to say earlier. we have, however, confirmed with other governments across the uk that there will be a temporary and very limited easing of restrictions for the five day period over christmas from the 23rd to the 27th of december inclusive, and that is the one development i want to give a brief update on now. the scottish government published initial guidance about this period this morning. it is available for view and the scottish government website. the presiding officer reiterates that the safest way for any of us to spend christmas with our own household in our own home and our own local area. just because we are allowing people to meet up in a limited way does not, of course,

mean that people have to do so, and people should not feel under pressure to do so. this virus spreads when people come together, so we are asking everybody to think carefully before using these, and with the possibility of vaccines close, no one will want to take a necessary risk particularly with elderly are more vulnerable relatives. so we should consider whether there are alternative ways to have christmas contact with those that we love this year, for example, meeting outside on a family work or using technology. however, we recognise the reality that at christmas, some people will feel the need to meet up with others, so this guidance sets out advice on how to do that as safely as possible, though it's important for me to stress at —— that the advice, even if fully intimated, were not com pletely if fully intimated, were not completely eliminate risk. restrictions will be limited between 23-27 restrictions will be limited between 23—27 december, but only to join a bubble. there should be no more than

three hassles in a bubble. we are asking this includes no more than one extended household. generally, the advice is to keep any bubble or small as possible and to have no more than eight people over the age of 12 within it. people other than stu d e nts of 12 within it. people other than students who share flat should try to stay in the same bubble as each other over christmas, but if they do join different bubbles our advice is to isolate from flatmates for around a week both before and after christmas. members of a bubble should not change. you can't meet with two households one day and then a different household the next. as well as meeting each other‘s homes, these bubbles can meet outside the get to a place of worship together but must not use hospitality or go shopping together. finally, we are advising that if you want to visit someone over advising that if you want to visit someone over christmas in a care home or hospital, you should not form a bubble. meeting other people indoors in the visiting someone in one of those settings increases the chances of transmitting the virus within a care home or hospital.

nicola sturgeon, scotland's first minister. much more on all of that from 2pm. the chancellor has been defending his decision to freeze the pay of some public sector workers, saying that "tough choices" had to be made over which workers would get a pay rise because of the economic emergency the country faces. in yesterday's spending review, the chancellor announced a pay freeze that will affect 1.3 million public sector workers. staff on less than £24,000 and some nhs workers will get a wage rise. rishi sunak also warned that unemployment could rise to 2.6m by the middle of next year. and he said the economy is set to contract by ii.3% this year, the largest fall for more than 300 years. here's the chancellor a little earlier outlining why some public

sector workers in england won't get a pay rise this year. i've had to make some tough choices, and what i couldn't do is justify an across—the—boa rd rise in public sector pay. when we came into this crisis, there was already a disparity between public and private sector pay, with a premium in the public sector. that disparity has widened during this crisis. what we have seen in the private sector is that wages have fallen over the last six months by about i%, and the public sector, wages have gone up by 4%. and people in the private sector are losing theirjobs, hours being cut, they are being furloughed, and that hasn't happened in the public sector. so given that, i think we need to take a more targeted approach to what we do. also, rishi sunak said that government borrowing is at record levels. the director of the institute for fiscal studies, pauljohnson,

says the government will probably have to borrow even more money than it has forecast and that could lead to tax rises. it's important to say that for next year, the government's spending plans were cut. really quite substantially, actually, other than the amount they are allocating to deal with covid. and that means the numbers they got penciled in after next year involve cuts of more than £10 billion, relative to the plans set out in march. because there is no additional spending for covid after next year. so the government is basically saying, compared with what we thought was needed back in march, we actually think we need to spend quite a lot less going forward than we thought. i'm not at all sure that is remotely plausible, the idea that we will need no more money in the nhs after next year than we thought at the beginning of this year, the idea that we will need no money to deal with covid, the idea that we will want to spend less on public services, and social

care and education and so on. i'm not sure that stacks up. the government is also saying that it is going to get rid of the supposedly temporary increase in universal credit introduced this year. i'm not sure it will do that either, so i reckon that there are some spending increases down the road which are not accounted for. if that's the case, then we won't have just the hundred billion pounds of borrowing by the middle of this decade that the office for budget responsibility was suggesting, but rather more than that. and not the sort of 20 billion or so of tax rises required just to stabilise the public finances, but maybe 40 billion of tax rises. so i think there's still a lot of really tough decisions to be made. a few other stories in brief here this afternoon.

a former porter at great ormond street hospital in london has been charged with dozens of child sexual abuse offences. paul farrell is believed to have worked at the specialist children's hospital from the mid 1980s until his arrest injanuary. in a statement the hospital said they are working with the police and that safeguarding children is fundamental to the care they provide. two of the uk's largest pub operators have announced more than 2,000 job losses this morning. mitchells and butlers, which runs chains including all bar one and harvester, said it had cut 13,00 roles. meanwhile, fuller's, which runs almost 400 pubs, said it was reducing its number of staff by around a thousand. the bbc has learned that a convicted terrorist who's refused to cooperate with the public inquiry

into the manchester arena bombing is to be released from prison this week. lawyers want to ask abdalraouf abdallah about his links to the suicide bomber, salman abedi. 22 people were killed in the attack in may 2017. a british—australian academic has expressed relief and thanks at her release from two years detention in iran for espionage. kylie moore—gilbert, who always denied wrongdoing, was freed in exchange for three unnamed iranians imprisoned abroad. mark lobel reports. the first pictures of kylie moore—gilbert, an australian academic on her way to freedom. releasing her face mask in front of the australian ambassador to iran after two years in prison. she was facing another eight years in an iranian prison, wrongfully imprisoned and convicted. and it is incredibly essential that we did the work that was done to secure her release

and see her coming home. coming the other way, state tv also reveals three arrivals, seemingly in exchange for the british—australian's release, being heralded by iran's deputy foreign minister. the melbourne university lecturer‘s exit comes after she was tried in secret on charges of spying, which she denies. she was held in a notorious prison in the desert and let it be known she had rejected an offerfrom iran to become a spy. in a statement, dr moore—gilbert thanked australian officials and said: the prison conditions would not have been good that kylie had been living through,

especially in the section with the revolutionary guard, where she had been detained, because we know that ill—treatment and torture is quite prolific there. the british government has yet to secure the release of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, a british—iranian charity worker who was jailed on spying charges in 2016 and has always maintained her innocence. her husband richard ratcliffe says this latest release shows deals are being done, but didn't know what it meant for his wife's situation. iranian state media insists they had exchanged a zionist spy, but dr moore—gilbert's supporters say they are over the moon an amazing friend and colleague is on her way home. one in three children who have some form of scarring say they feel sad and depressed because of having a physical difference. that's according to the charity changing faces. now scientists are working to find a way for people to heal without leaving a scar.

our reporterjohn maguire has been to meet delilah, who was severely burnt as a baby. when delilah was just 17 months old, she suffered extensive and severe burns in an accident. she spent two months in intensive care and has had numerous operations ever since. my scars, they don't grow with me, so if my didn't have so if i didn't have skin grafts, then they would just be really tight and extremely painful. her biggest concern is how her injuries and scar tissue restrict her physical activities. i can't play with my friends the way that i would want to, and i can't alwaysjoin in in stuff, and after a while it does really hurt. and there are emotional consequences, although her positivity is extraordinary. when i was younger i used to be seen differently,

because when i was younger they were a lot more visible and also a lot of my friends when i was younger, they didn't really understand because we were so young. but now my classmates understand that i'm just the same as them. so, here at the university of bristol, scientists are working to eradicate scarring. they're studying zebrafish, native to rivers in india, and more like us than you might think. because we share a lot of the same genes, we think around 80% of disease—causing genes in humans, the zebrafish also have an equivalent. but they are not exactly the same, so there are some differences in how that gene functions in a fish compared to how it might function in us. they have an amazing ability to repair and regenerate their own bodies, crucially, without leaving scars. so is there something in the fish's genetics that could be replicated in humans? they are able to regenerate

many different tissues, including their tail, so their skin, essentially. also their retina, their heart, any kind of damage that they get that's similar to damage we might get. so we might be able to reduce a certain type of white blood cell or promote the function of another type of white blood cell and the combination of that might be the way to reduce scarring in human patients in the future. the scientists will also consider how various skin colours scar differently. this is the first research project of its kind in the world and the charity funding it has a bold ambition, to achieve scar—free healing within a generation. scarring is common, there's lots of people affected, it's costly, it costs the nhs billions of pounds a year to treat bad wounds and hard to heal scars. but what a lot of people don't appreciate

is the the deep emotional problems caused by scarring, people who are afraid to go out, children who are bullied at school, for example, and of course the ultimate solution, in due course, is to eradicate scarring. these days, we often talk about mental scars and by treating people in a way that leaves no physical markings, that may go a long way to reducing those mental scars also. the run—up to christmas is often a time for surprises — and happy endings — and here's a story from new york with both. when workers erected the rockefeller centre's christmas tree earlier this month, they came across this unexpected extra — an owl hiding among the branches. the bird, which they named rocky, was taken to a wildlife centre to rehabilitate. and this week, she was released back into the wild. the centre later confirmed the operation to get rocky back home had been a success.

not many success stories at the moment. it's nice to have even a small one! now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. the next few days look generally dry, but there's probably going to be more cloudy, grey sort of weather across the uk. today there has certainly been some sunshine, particularly once that early mist and fog are lifted we've had some blue skies through parts of the midlands, the home counties for example. but we have got a few weather fronts on the scene, this one anchored by low pressure near spain is bringing more cloud in the southeast corner and a few showery bursts of rain. this weak weather front is moving into the northwest, bringing more cloud into scotland and northern ireland as we head through the night. there's that rain just clipping the far southeast of england. in between, we'll have those clearer skies, no wind, that's where we are going to find some fog forming across england and wales in particular. and with that fog forming, there is still the risk of some of pockets of frost around as well come the end of the night.

as we look ahead to tomorrow, it looks a little bit different from today. for a start, we've got more that fog around across england and wales. it will tend to lift slowly, but it's going to be a cold day for many parts of the country. we've still got a bit patchy rain coming into the northwest of scotland. a lot of cloud, scotland and northern ireland, still the threat of a bit of rain in the far southeast. but in between there will be some sunshine coming through, northern england, wales around the far southwest perhaps, but through the midlands towards lincolnshire, down towards the west country, the home counties. with that fog lifting to low cloud, it is going to be cold, i suspect. the temperatures only 4 or 5 degrees. as we head into this weekend, we are expecting cloudy skies across many parts of the country. but it's not going to be as cold and there won't be as much fog either. the centre of the high pressure, which is where the fog is sitting under, is drifting out towards scandinavia. and so we've got a bit of a breeze actually coming up from continental europe. that pushes the really colder air away and brings us some milder conditions from the south. but with a lot of cloud and it may

produce a little drizzle in that cloud as well as it works its way northwards. but still, we've got some sunshine after a cold start in scotland. here the temperatures perhaps no better than 5—6 degrees. we may get some sunshine developing across more southern parts of england, where temperatures will be 11 or 12 degrees. now, with light winds overnight, that will tend to fill in with low cloud, maybe some mist and fog. so quite a grey picture for many areas on sunday. best of the sunshine in scotland, this time more towards the northeast of the country. in the southeast of england, we may get some sunshine around some western coasts.

this is bbc news. i'm jane hill. the headlines... more than 23 million people in england will be living under the most severe coronavirus restrictions when lockdown ends next week — with greater manchester, birmingham, leeds and sheffield among places in the highest tier level. to keep people safe and to keep the gains that are being made, more areas gains that are being made, more areas than before will be in the top two tiers. this is necessary to protect our nhs and keep the virus under control. business owners say it's more dreadful news for the hospitality industry: we've all agreed it feels like the government have been playing a game of carrot and stick with us.
