now an nhs trust has been charged over his death. just over a week after being diagnosed with coronavirus, president trump says he might hold an election rally in florida tomorrow. and coming up on bbc news, fog and damp weather prevent a first practice session at the eifel grand prix in germany. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the uk economy recovered more slowly than expected in august, growing by 2.1%. although this represents the fourth consecutive month of growth, it was considerably smaller than that seen injune and july, despite the introduction in august of the government's eat out to help out scheme, which boosted restaurants. the economy remains 9.2% smaller than before the pandemic struck. it comes as the chancellor rishi sunak is set to announce this afternoon more financial support for businesses forced to close when virus rules are tightened. an announcement of these new restrictions, which could see pubs and restaurants shut in the worst—affected parts of england, is expected on monday. here's our ec

the story isjust saying that an e—mail was sent by an nhs trust chief to his staff, saying that the nhsistmas. all i have been reading about the oxford vaccine and others suggest that is not possible, but who knows? may be is a vanguard ofa but who knows? may be is a vanguard of a kind of vaccine that can be used. it's hopeful, it's interesting but i feel with every target that we read, including vaccines before christmas, it is a bit like the difference between telling a chihuahua that it can run a marathon and a horse. we seem to be led by chihuahuas at the moment. i do not believe this but i'm sure a lot of people well. i hope it may be true. we have just had anthony fauci, the us‘s guru on coronavirus, the infectious disease expert, he has been assisting the white house throughout the crisis, has said on andrew marr a few minutes ago we will know if a vaccine is safe and effective by the end of november or even early december. that is what they are saying in the united states. this is absolutely crucial for the government, isn't it, dave, as it tries to steer us out of this horrific

a lot has gone into it and i have to say that the nhs trust has done a fantasticjob coordinating thisf in the nhs. it is intense at times but we are here to help patients and we are up for that challenge. chris, what sort of difference do you think it will make to the speed with which, for example, make to the speed with which, for exa m ple, tests ca n make to the speed with which, for example, tests can be got from the person who is taking the swab to the lab? i think for us really speed is one part of the equation. but more importantly is the reliability of getting items to and from labs. being able to say when you will deliver it and having more regular services means that you are able to help patients and ultimately help the clinicians do theirjobs by improving diagnosis and also getting the results faster and more reliably. as a result of that, we can reliably. as a result of that, we ca n start reliably. as a result of that, we can start treating patients better and improve their health outcomes. hammad, a lot of people might worry and say it is a fantastic idea in itself but t

earlier, nhs providers representing trusts in england sounded a seasoned ruler warning, with the chiefs are well below what they were in the pic that conceals regional variations, and that health leaders in the north of england were saying that admissions were rising so saying that admissions were rising so rapidly they feared current restrictions were not working and more was needed. as we have been hearing, there is a big debate going on across government in england about precisely what restrictions might be introduced next week. the interests of the economy being considered, to get the balance right there, but whitehall sources are indicating tonight these warnings from the north of england about hospital numbers are a cause for concern. thank you, hugh pym. next year's national 5 exams in scotland, broadly equivalent to gcses, are to be cancelled. they'll be replaced with teacher assessments and coursework. scotland's education secretary, john swinney, said sitting the exams during the pandemic was "too big a risk". higher and advanced higher exams will go ahead, but slightly later

it is just a week ago that nhs providers representing hospital trusts in england said it is vital thehas confidence in the system because big decisions run local lockdowns and restrictions are made on the data and also the issue of where the positive tests are. we know that the north—west and yorkshire are most affected by the reporting lags, and considering the case rates in the likes of liverpool and manchester being ten times the national average, that isn't surprising, you carry out more test in an area, you will find out more cases. but it is the south—west and east midlands also seeing their testing figures last week more than double so whichever way you look at, there are going to be questions to answer, here. nick eardley is in westminster. embarrassing for the government, and with potentially serious practical consequences too? it doesn't do much more confidence in the system. track and trace is a central part of the government strategy to suppress the virus in england. it is supposed to, if the ministers‘ plans were working, give everybody an idea of where the virus is sprea
