mister baker was speaking outside downing street following a briefing with scientists. opportunity to take a team into downing street, there were three scientists, myself, a data a nalyst. three scientists, myself, a data analyst. we have had an amazing opportunity to robustly scrutinise the arguments, the data, the forecasts of where we are going and what i would say to people is the prime minister has got very, very difficult choices to make and i would encourage all members of the public and all members of parliament to listen extremely carefully to what the prime minister says today and over the coming days. i think my colleagues, like me, need to cast their minds forwards several weeks and think what might happen to the nhs, but that won't make any sense to them until they have heard from the prime minister, until they have had some briefings. i'm expecting them to see some of the data i've been looking at today, i'm expecting that to be shown to members of parliament and i hope they reflect very carefully on what it will mean for their constituents as we go forwar

but eyes and ears here were also very focused today on downing street.and that the uk must give way first if a trade deal is to be agreed? the answer — not positively. it is clear from the summit that, after 45 years of membership, they are not willing, unless there is some fundamental change of approach, to offer this country the same terms as canada. and so, with high hearts and with complete confidence, we will prepare to embrace the alternative and we will prosper mightily. downing street's clear message — trade talks are over unless the eu changes its tune. no chance, retorted france's emmanuel macron. translation: we are always aware that it is the united kingdom that wanted to leave the european union, that is leaving the european union and that needs an agreement even more than we do. after months and months of eu and uk negotiators shuttling backwards and forwards between london and brussels, both sides are fed up. the key sticking points still in talks — the rights of eu fishermen to fish in uk waters after brexit, competition regulations — kno

we are waiting for a briefing from downing street. let's recap on what we know so far.nce a month—long national lockdown in england. non—essential retail and hospitality will be forced to close. schools and universities will be allowed to stay open. dr chris smith is a virologist at the university of cambridge, hejoins me now. good afternoon to you. good afternoon. do you think this was inevitable, given the data we've had? i've been watching what has been happening with other countries across europe because if you cast your mind back to march and april, they were ahead of the curve on terms of numbers then just as now. we have been watching what has been happening in france, germany, we saw belgium become embarrassingly, somewhat for the eu where the headquarters are, the country with the highest per capita rates of coronavirus across the world. so really it was only a matter of time before we saw ourselves going down a similar path again. it is a symptom of the season. the weather has got colder, we have had this return to work, return of schools, universities, the co

that is something quite tricky for downing street.ind of evidence that depression is notjust coming from labour politicians. in the region, but from some conservatives to. well, we have finally got to 8.8 months into this crisis where there isa months into this crisis where there is a some semblance of an opposition to government by diktats, which is what we have had, essentially, since february with the government deciding what it is going to do, bypassing parliament, bypassing its own party, not really collaborating much with the nations or with local mayors and finally we are getting a little bit of resistance to that, that national unity mode that we saw in the spring is fraying so obviously you have local mayors and particularly labour mayors are saying we have not been consulted on this and it is going to be hugely detrimental to our local economies. you're also increasingly getting conservative backbenchers saying, we need to have an honest conversation about what the trade—off of lockdown measures are going to be. what hit to

downing street told us around lunchtime they had "reached out" to the mayor's office this morning andall had been agreed between the two sides for tomorrow morning. but a short time after that, a spokesperson for the mayor said nothing had been agreed at this point. so, that leaves people wondering, i think it's safe to suggest on the basis of those two statements, there is no agreement to talk tomorrow morning or before then, and certainly, andy burnham's side in this had made it clear that they're not going to make any further comment today, essentially. so, on one level, that might seem like the tedious running commentary on the logistics of a negotiation, and it is, to a point. but also, if these two sides cannot agree on the timing of a phone call between them when there are such important issues at stake here which could have huge consequences, not least for the people of greater manchester and what restrictions they might find themselves under, but also the continued spread of coronavirus. i think it does demonstrate at the very least a bit of a breakdown in communication, mayb

we will have to see what their responses to this further from downing street, at every stage in this iations have nearly always gone down to the wire. let speak now to the person who can tell us how this is going down in brussels, our european correspondent, nick pete. downing street is saying the talks are over. is that how brussels sees them?“ thatis is that how brussels sees them?“ that is the case, that is news to the european union officials here who just a the european union officials here whojust a short the european union officials here who just a short time ago listen to what boris johnson who just a short time ago listen to what borisjohnson was prepared to say publicly. they noted his sentiment that the uk should prepare for the possibility of no brexit trade deal being reached, but they took from that the fact that he dodged the question are the trade talks going to end? but if what jonathan reports, what the number ten spokesperson has said, this does change things. emmanuel macron, the president of france said 20 minutes ago ina president of france said 20 minutes ago in

downing street said a phone call between the two sides had been arranged for tomorrow morning, but mr burnham's aides said that was not the case. it comes as more than 28 million people in england have spent their first day under tighter measures. lancashire hasjoined liverpool in tier 3 — the very high alert level — while a four—week "circuit breaker" has begun in northern ireland, meaning all hospitality venues are now closed, except to provide take—aways. and london and essex are among eight parts of england to be banned from mixing indoors with other households. prosecutors in france say a history teacher who was murdered in an apparent islamist terror attack was identified to his killer by school pupils. samuel paty, who was a7, was targeted on the outskirts of paris yesterday. he'd received threats after recently showing his students caricatures of the prophet muhammad. nine people have been arrested, including the father of a child at the school where he worked. new zealand's prime minister, jacinda ardern, has won a landslide victory in the country's general election, after a

one huge difference between that and what happened with borisjohnson is that downing street is minute. downing street does not have a medical unit with fully equipped teams of doctors and nurses in the way that the white house does. the white house has a surgery, house does. the white house has a surgery, it has a sick pay, it has the facilities to deal with quite serious situations, and that hasn't been deemed good enough for this occasion. so we got donald trump going off to hospital. with boris johnson, there was a longer lead in, but it was all that stuff about precaution, precaution, percussion. then next thing we know, intensive care. that was an absolute shock when you heard that particular news. the white house is doing what is expected, seeking to reassure the american people, and there are trying to do their best but i think still, there is an awful lot we don't know. i know exactly where you're standing. the pract secretary office is ten guards from where you're standing. —— press secretary. is there a sense of... 7 you're standing. —— press secretary. is there a sense of..

what labour‘s proposing is not as strict as the lockdown from earlier this year, but downing street wantso. i know that, for someone who has been an opportunist all his life, this is difficult, this is difficult to understand... but, having read and considered the sage advice, i have genuinely concluded that a circuit break is in the national interest. the whole point, mr speaker, is to seize this moment now to avoid the misery of another national lockdown, into which he wants to go headlong, by delivering a regional solution. politicians don‘t like admitting it but there can be opportunity in crisis, and there have been conversations in government about bringing in a limited lockdown, to close pubs and bars everywhere, to slow the disease down. number ten is loath to press the button on a limited lockdown for england, notjust because of the harm that could do to the way the country makes its living, but also, why treat everywhere the same when the pattern of the disease varies from place to place? but avoiding a limited lockdown is a strong hope, not a guarantee. more parts of the countr

downing street is holding talks with local leaders on restrictions.hief aide seen by the bbc has gone to mps downing street is holding talks with local leaders on restrictions. a letter from a chief aide seen by the bbc has gone to mps in the north west of england. it says, it is very likely that certain local areas will face further restrictions. local leaders should be able to help shape the package of measures certain areas. but will what they think should happen here accord with the areas where those rules may apply? this council leader doesn't agree with what may be planned for his county. what we think we have now is about right, we think it's working. i think to bring anything more in some areas of the county would be wrong. and it wouldn't be adhered to. ministers want to simplify the different levels of restrictions. we will hear from the mp elected in seats in the north of england, coming up on bbc news. doctors have called forface masks to be made mandatory both indoors — including in offices — and outdoors where two metre social distancing

at the moment does not seem to be much will in downing street to do that because they have only justdowning street to do that because they have onlyjust started having this tiered system commit to want to see how that plays out but they are very worried that the rates in areas which, even under the harshest tier 3 restrictions, just not falling. and we have heard warnings in the past few days that may be the whole of england could be under tier 3 by christmas, and there's even some i’uitioui's may christmas, and there's even some rumours may be that there could have to be some circuit breaker over the christmas holiday and it would be really devastating to businesses. might be the only way to avoid over the massive surge over those weeks. and the pm is facing opposition from that on all fronts. he has battled local leaders about it and business chiefs want to be happy about it either, but his own mps have started to be agitating for a more clear road map out of restrictions. well, people in downing street say we can't stop talking about ways out of restrictions were we might need to

there has been a stand—off between downing street and the elected mayor of manchester over the last 48 the two sides over what restrictions are appropriate and what restrictions the two sides could agree or needed in greater manchester and possibly unaccompanied package of financial support. since thursday morning there have been taught at official level at whitehall and those in greater manchester it seemed like there had been some progress, downing street told us at lunchtime today that they had quote reached out to the mare's office this morning and a telephone call had been agreed between the two sides for tomorrow morning. but a short time after that a spokesperson for the mayor said that nothing had been agreed. that leaves people wondering, i think you are saved to suggest on the basis of those two suggestions that there is no agreement to talk tomorrow morning oi’ agreement to talk tomorrow morning or before then and certainly andy burnham's syed has said that they are not going to make any further comment today. on one level that might sound like the tedious running commentary

downing street is saying there will be additional funds to support businesses closed down in greatering talked about earlier was another from the government of 60 million, an improved offer an initial 55 million they were offering greater manchester and it appeared that 60 million has disappeared. the prime minister was asked three times about it and he did not come up with a specific figure. he did offer to support businesses and he did offer to do something proportionate with other areas. 30 million had gone to liverpool, about half the size of population of greater manchester. so it may be in the end that 60 million is available, but the government say they have to continue talking to greater manchester leaders and it is unlikely we will arrive at a final figure tonight. but as you say, the political risk for the government is that it looks as though potentially, it may punish areas being less cooperative. the government would say that unless they were doing something which was proportionate with liverpool lancashire, it would look like they were punishing those areas that were co

having been marched up a hill one way and the government has changed direction again although downing street this move? two different documents they are talking about, one has been circulated around the members of the sage committee which was seen by rishi sunak and borisjohnson, modelling the predictions for the spread of the disease and what it saysis spread of the disease and what it says is that all of their projections are worse than the reasonable worst case scenario that the government had been working on. it suggests deaths could reach more than a000 people a day. if no policies are brought in, which would be much higher than the first wave backin be much higher than the first wave back in the spring. the other document looks at the capacity in hospitals, aced on nhs england modelling. it wants the health service would not be able to accept any more patients by christmas, even if the nightingale hospitals, those ones held for emergency covid use, the document wants that in the south—west, the midlands, hospitals could run out of capacity potentially within a fortnight. —— warns that.

but ice and cheers here were very focused today on downing street.ould boris johnson react to their demand that the uk must give way first if a trade deal is to be agreed? the a nswer trade deal is to be agreed? the answer was mike not positively. trade deal is to be agreed? the answer was mike not positivelym is clear from the site that after 45 yea rs of is clear from the site that after 45 years of membership, they are not willing, unless there is some fundamental change in the approach, to offer this country the same terms as canada. and so with high hearts and complete confidence, we will prepare to them embrace. trade talks are over they say, unless the eu changes its tune. no chance says the french president. we are always conscious that it is the united kingdom they want to leave the european union and is leaving the european union and that needs an agreement even more than we do. after months and months of eu and uk negotiations shuffling back and uk negotiations shuffling back and forwards. many are fed up. the key sticking points still in

there's further confusion in greater manchester tonight as local leaders deny downing street's claimt talks have been arranged to resolve a row over covid restrictions. it comes as more than 28 million people in england have spent their first day under tighter measures. and in northern ireland, it's been 2a hours since a 4—week so called "circuit—breaker" lockdown was introduced, meaning all hospitality venues are now closed, except to provide take—aways. we'll have more on the developing story in greater manchester, but first, daniela relph on the impact felt by everyone facing tightened restrictions across the uk. london now under tier 2 restrictions. meeting outside is ok with distancing and no more than six of you. socialising indoors is banned, except with your own support bubble. the changes came into force at midnight and there was a reluctance to head home from the bars and restaurants. freedom! and today, a demonstration by a few hundred people in central london. protesting at the covid rules and not abiding by them either. the police said protests can be exempt from the res

on friday, downing street said the talks were over and borisjohnson said the uk should prepare to leavet transition period at the end of the year without a formal deal. the cabinet office minister told mps that the eu needed the government has faced an avalanche of criticism over its controversial internal market bill, which allows ministers to break international law. the legislation sets out rules for the operation of trade between england, scotland, wales, and northern ireland after the end of the brexit transition period in january. but controversially, it allows the government to roll back on parts of the brexit divorce deal agreed with the eu. during a debate in the lords, the measure was condemned by speaker after speaker. the business minister began by setting out the government's position. this bill is crucial to ensuring that we continue to work together as one united kingdom, support jobs and livelihoods across our entire country. as we rebuild and recover from covid—19 and look ahead to the opportunities following the end of the transition period, this bill would provide the

downing street by things as part of torturing.turing. analisa, to give us some project being context —— as pa rt us some project being context —— as part of posturing. spain, italy, for the british, this persistent stand—off, it is not a new problem, ido stand—off, it is not a new problem, i do seem to focus distilled into the trade dispute between the uk?|j agree the trade dispute between the uk?” agree with stefanie that it is posturing. fishing is not that important at all, as you have reminded us. it is about even less than 1% of the gdp of britain. it is minimal in comparison with the real estate care, which is 50% of the trait of this country. —— the real sta ke trait of this country. —— the real stake here. less is about identity politics, nationalism, britain is an island nation. this idea of our waters and take control back of our flesh has really been a catalyst —— back of our fish. a catalyst of many of the emotions behind the brexit bout. i believe that is why boris johnson is kind of touching so much, because it is a

you might be thinking hang on, didn't downing street say the trade talks were over. get ready forjanuary without a big overarching trade deal but crucially the door was left open. downing street had suggested it was good to get back round the table if the eu moved on certain things, clearly believes that movement has happened. the sticking points of the negotiations haven't gone away though. there are still things to be squared on things like fishing rights and on competition law in particular. michel barnier that a deal is possible if they both worked constructively in a spirit of compromise. there isn't a huge amount of time left though, so if there is going to be a deal somebody is going to have to compromise and it will need to come soon. all right, helen catt, thank you. undignified and inhumane care — that's the damning conclusion of a report by the care regulator in england into provisions in hospitals for people with learning disabilities and autism. the government, which commissioned the report, says its findings are "deeply concerning". our social affairs c
