a lot of itjust comes down to which essex, if you think peoplejust comes down to which essex, if youpeople getting time for such —— they will not be up to stop their lives. is there evidence that the return to schools and universities saw a surgeon cases present and if there was that might account for the big rise in infections. the picture for coronavirus has really been growing slowly since july and at the end of august was when it started to increase more sharply which is obviously one schools and universities did start to go back. if we take one university, newcastle university, more than 1,000 students have tested positive there in the last week, out of a student body of 28,000. the interesting thing with stu d e nts 28,000. the interesting thing with students is because many of them are so young, many of them are asymptomatic and not feeling ill at all at the moment. and the final question and i suppose universities might feed into this question from ken, it seems rates are higher in the north and the south of england. why is that? there is not a simple a nswer to why is that?

the thing to remember is london and essex and some parts of the country have just come into tier 2, butof the north have had some level of the restriction along the lines for months now. so, this is seen as something that desperately needed, particularly with unfurlough wind down at the end of the 31st of 0ctober. down at the end of the 31st of october. and that's one of the issues that the greater manchester mayor andy murray can tell mac had —— andy burnham. rishi sunak had made previous announcements in different scenarios. we were kind of seeing a glimmer of hope, whereas now we are seeing cases seeing a glimmer of hope, whereas now we are seeing cases rising in these restrictions coming forward. expecting a slightly bleaker outcome. things it certainly don't look good across the country, and i think that one of the things here is that whilst it will certainly be wellton if they were extra then measures “— wellton if they were extra then measures —— certainly be welcome. which really does matter, there's also people who as you say, as the furlough scheme widens down, looking out wha

from midnight tonight, london, essex, york and other areas are being placed under tier two or high alertid—19. that means a ban on households mixing indoors, including in pubs and restaurants. the changes come as the government's furlough scheme comes to an end to be replaced by a less generous job support scheme that will only help firms who are actually forced to close under the highest tier three restrictions. and that can only mean widespread job losses — a quarter of a million in london's hospitality sector alone, according to its industry lobby group. it seems it's a small change but it will be absolutely catastrophic particularly for hospitality in central london, the city, the west end, those businesses have seen very low trade as people work from home, dropping domestic terrorism and also the result of curfew being kicked back to the curb and the best hospitality is doing in the city is 40% of normal trading that goes down to 15% of normal trade when you get into central london. this shift to then restrict households mixing in bars, restaurants and hotels, we know that takes off

right across london, essex, york, parts of derbyshire and cumbria, meeting friends indoors is off.e home alone. i haven't seen anybody inside my flat since march. it's lonely. so, that's why i come out, chat to friends, outside, in the fresh air. what else can you do? martin says his dry cleaning business is already on its knees. we are in tier one and business is completely dead. look at it. if we go to tier two, i don't think it will make much difference anyway. and this woman worries about more time indoors with the kids. i had her at home with me for six months, which was so hard to keep herentertained. unlike his counterparts in the north of england, the london mayor had been pushing for tighter rules. the virus is spreading rapidly in every corner of our city. nobody wants to see more restrictions, but this is deemed to be necessary in order to protect londoners. i must warn londoners that we've got a difficult winter ahead. downing street wants to push and pull different parts of the country in and out of limited lockdowns to match the spread of the disease. but those differ

by the end of the westminster week, things were moving fast, with millions of people in london, essexreas moved up into tougher tier two restrictions. the health secrertary came to the commons to update mps. i did not come into politics to put restrictions on people's lives and i want people to have as much freedom as possible, subject to not harming others. but the nature of this virus means that any one of us can inadvertently pass it on without even knowing. that is the liberal case for action and i believe that the british people get that. but he said he wanted that action to be as targeted as possible. we make these decisions with a heavy heart, with the sole aim of steering our nation through troubled waters. things will get worse before they get better. but i know that there are brighter skies and calmer seas ahead. that the ingenuity of science will find a way through and until then, we must come together, because we all have a part to play in defeating this dreadful disease. while i don't quibble or object to the public health interventions he is making, i am afraid they're s

pm curfew that governs how bars and restaurants operate we believe also the neighboring county of essex it's subject to this change as well but of course you know there are still big questions about whether this goes far enough you can still go from a high risk area to a moderate risk area so if i wanted to travel from london to oxford sure there'd be no problem at all that does beg the question well look you know how is that really going to stop the the transmission of this infection in its tracks now italy's record its highest single day tally of new infections since the start of the pandemic it's reported nearly 9000 new cases on thursday infections there are surging again particularly in northern italy where the pandemic 1st took hold in march. france is deploying police across paris and 8 other cities to enforce night curfews that will begin later saturday you measures were announced after hospital admissions reached their highest level since june hospital admissions are at their highest levels. poland has also seen a recording crease in confirmed cases more than a 1000 new infecti
