i was out a couple of evenings ago in leeds.but if you actually look at what is happening, it is clear that they do not really care, they are more interested in getting money in the till. i would like to see the government take action against these businesses because people like myself running this coffee house that we are doing everything we can, breaking our backs to keep everyone safe and it is hard work. where having to work really ha rd to is hard work. where having to work really hard to do it and if businesses are floating it, what are we going to say to businesses who are not actually going to follow the real question make the answer is thatis real question make the answer is that is not anything being done. that is the main concern that i have and responsible business owners. there is a fitting and i do not blame people for wanting to go out and have a drink. a lot of people do, but this commits support is coming to an end and another could be some really difficult decisions for businesses if we had another lockdown, an

but leeds held on for all three points. full time at elland road — leeds 4, fulham 3. underway — their first game is at home to crystal palace, who took an early lead thanks to andros townsend. it is currently i—0 it is currently 1—0 to crystal palace. and still to come, the late kick off sees west ham travel to arsenal. in the scottish premiership, celtic have moved top after beating livingston, sending them to the bottom of the table in the process. they won 3—2 after a frenetic second half. elsewhere, dundee united ended a run of three defeats to beat st mirren 2—i. ross county picked up their first win in six premiership games, and kilmarnock beat hamilton 2—i. fans returned to a competitive league match in england for the first time in six months, with eight efl clubs allowing spectators to enter their stadiums as part of a government pilot scheme. perhaps a very different experience to what we're used to, as our reporter, joe lynskey, found out. football just like the footballjust like the country, is trying to strike the right balance right now stop blackpool ag

i was out a couple of evenings ago in leeds.th no social distancing, many of the bars don't really care, care, they say they, do but if you actually look at what's happening, it's clear that they don't really care, they are more interested in getting money in the till. i'd like to see the government take action against these businesses because for people like myself at flamingos coffee house, we are doing everything we can, we are breaking our backs to try and keep everyone safe, but it's hard work. then you have other businesses flouting it. what is being done against those businesses that aren't actually following the rules? the answer is, there isn't anything being done. that's the main concern that i hear from other responsible business owners that i speak to, but there is obviously fatigue and i don't blame people for wanting to go out and have a drink. we all do. a lot of us do, but we've got to just remember that all this government support is coming to an end and now there could be some really difficult decisions for bus

so, everything here in leeds, in my halls and around me, seems fine right now.al lockdown on friday, and looking at the news, looking at reports from manchester, from glasgow and around the country, it's frightening to think that at any moment we could be next. our building could be next, we could be told we're not allowed to go anywhere, we're not allowed to go home. that could extend to christmas, as people have been saying. that is a possibility the government say they can't rule out, that you wouldn't be able to go home for christmas. what do you think of that? i think it is hyperbolic and not the kind of message that we need to be hearing at the moment. i mean, did you think aboutjust not going to university this year? it's a very, very different experience, a pretty miserable experience in many ways? i actually took a year out, last year. and so i didn't see it really as an option, to take another year out. i've been excited for university and excited to start at leeds beckett, everything they have been saying about blended learning sounds really awesome.
