nottinghamshire stands alone, so far, in banning alcohol sales after 9pm in shops.which businesses are hit. what's the difference coming into a pub and having a pint and going into a pub having a meal and a pub and having a pint and going into a pub having a mealand a pint? there is no logic to it. i do understand why they are doing it but at the same time, it's, you know, it's upsetting. it isn'tjust pubs shut in, nottinghamshire has its own closure list, branded tier 3 plus by some. nottingham itself saw the highest case numbers in the country. now, the whole county will feel the force of the tightest restrictions. and what we saw there last night might explain to some degree why the extra restrictions are needed because even the landlord at that pub was saying he was struggling to enforce the rules to keep people socially distant and to work out which households were together and we re which households were together and were allowed to sit close to each other. and there were people in a pub who admitted they had come over the borderfrom pub who admitted they had

just a quick thought on the restrictions, we are talking about nottinghamshire.e heard from the leader of one of the councils within that patch who says they will be closing beauty salons and l bars as recommended by public health england. what is the rationale there. my point being that people get pretty confused about the rules -- nail get pretty confused about the rules —— nail bars. there are other parts of the country and tier 3 where those establishments are not shut. what is the rationale around that? so the highest tier alert level location is the level three, where the restrictions are most stringent. but that still leaves room for local decision—makers, depending on what the data is telling them, to go further and restrict further access to places where they feel that is important. and this may be one example of that. public health england has provided guidance as to what should happen in various locations and workplaces, businesses, schools and so on, and that guidance gives people the confidence that they can be doing things consistently across the co

across nottinghamshire, to the north of the county, places like mansfield and worksop will remain inr people here around nottingham, the tight restrictions will be in place from thursday morning. thank you. it's a common belief that if you catch coronavirus once — you can't catch it again. but new research casts doubt on that. scientists say the proportion of people with coronavirus antibodies has been falling — suggesting immunity may only last a few months. researchers at imperial college london found the number of people testing positive for antibodies dropped by around a quarter betweenjune and september. naomi grimley reports. antibodies are a key part of our immune defences and stop the virus from getting inside the body's cells. but a study of 350,000 people who have had antibody tests shows they do not last forever. at the end ofjune, 6% had antibodies, but by september it was only 4%. immunity is likely to wane over time after you have been infected, even if you have, you know that you have had, coronavirus, you have had covid, then you cannot be sure you will not get it aga

but rising cases in north nottinghamshire districts, which were originally excluded from tier 3, means category together. a report has revealed that at least 78 hospital patients who had tested positive for covid—19 were transferred to care homes in scotland early on in the pandemic. the study, by health protection scotland, found that more than five thousand people were moved between march and may and many were not tested at all. deaths in care homes account for around half of coronavirus related deaths in scotland. here's our scotland editor sarah smith. helen mcmillan enjoyed life in her care home just outside glasgow. she died there, days before her 85th birthday, showing symptoms of coronavirus, her family unable to visit in her last days. helen's daughter is convinced another resident, who had been discharged from hospital, unwittingly brought the virus into the home. the way i see it is there wasn't enough tests at the time, so the elderly were not being tested, and to make space in hospitals they were sent back, and really, the most vulnerable were, you know, presented into the

as a result of rising infection rates, nottinghamshire, east and west cheshire and a small area of highl. the very high alert level will apply where transmission rates are rising most rapidly, and where the nhs could soon be under unbearable pressure without further restrictions. in these areas, the government will set a baseline of prohibiting social mixing indoors and in private gardens and, i'm sorry to say, closing pubs and bars. we wa nt sorry to say, closing pubs and bars. we want to create the maximum possible local consensus behind this more severe local action, so in each area, we will will work with local government leaders on the additional measures which should be taken. this could lead to further restrictions on the hospitality, leisure, entertainment or personal care sectors. but retail, schools and universities will remain open. as my right honourable friend the chancellor has set out, the government will expand its unprecedented economic support to assist those affected by these decisions, extending ourjob support scheme to cover two thirds of the wages of those in any b

this the sunshine coming through in nottinghamshire earlier this afternoon. through in nottinghamshirehes and that will take centre stage as we go through the rest of this evening and overnight. still showers come in the far north but north and personal scotland it is likely to stay dry. however we will see a spell of wetter weather for much of northern ireland, much of england and wales as much as 30—40 mm over the hills of wales and that could lead to some local flooding. certainly some tricky travelling conditions and a strong wind to boot. so it is going to be mild under that hill fog as well. further north under the starry skies it will be on the chilly side and it could be a bit misty as well. as we go through the morning that rain is still with us, a damp start to the day, which at times with heavy rain for the morning rush across southern and eastern areas. behind still a bit of quiet and shy respecting it but for parts of scotla nd respecting it but for parts of scotland it will be a bright start, chilli with some fog in the glens but the showers will get their act together be

nottinghamshire went into tier 3 at midnight, and west yorkshire will follow on monday.nd specialists are concerned? joining me now is mark harris, professor of virology at the university of leeds. good afternoon. so many millions of people now interfere three or perhaps heading into it next week. from your perspective is that the right thing to do? i think it is the right thing to do? i think it is the right thing to do? i think it is the right thing to do but i think we need to go further and i think there is overwhelming support now and the scientific community and hopefully a bit more political consensus on this that we need to go into a national lockdown. i don‘t forget needs to be as dramatic and draconian as the last one but we certainly need to do more in the tier1 and tier 2 restrictions. i think they are slowing down the spread of the coronavirus but we‘re not preventing it and still seeing large increases in the number of people infected so that clearly is not a sustainable situation for the health service, for everybody, for the economy in the long run, so i

no change for most of england although there are additional restrictions in nottinghamshire, east and west cheshire and a small part of the peak district. a levels and gsces in england will go ahead next year but most will be delayed by 3 weeks. the prime minister has set out a new 3 tiered system of restrictions across england. government scientists warned earlier today that more people are in hospital now with covid than at the time of national lockdown in march. but only liverpool city region has been placed under the new most severe restrictions. for other areas with high infection rates, the prime minister says only that discussions with local leaders are continuing. the new restrictions will start from wednesday and will be broken down like this: the lowest is the medium level of restrictions where the current national rules continue like only being able to meet six other people and the 10pm curfew for pubs, bars and restaurants. most of england remains in this tier. next is the high level which means that there can be no household mixing indoors anywhere, with the rule of 6 sti

and nottinghamshire, including nottinghamshire, including nottingham itself, east and west cheshire,all area of high peak, will also move to this level. over the weekend, we have been working with local leaders in areas where the data are most worrying, and from wednesday local authorities in the liverpool city region will move to the very high alert level. in addition to pubs and bars, we have agreed with liverpool city mayor steve rotherham that gymnasiums, adult betting centres and casinos will close. we are still working with other local leaders to determine how best to target the resurgence of the virus in their areas, but tackle it we will. no—one wa nts to areas, but tackle it we will. no—one wants to impose, least of all me, these kinds of restrictions, erosions of our personal liberty, but i am as convinced as i have ever been that the british people have the resolve to beat this virus and that, together, we will dojust that. with that, i'm going to hand over to the chancellor, who has some more details on how we will be supporting these businesses, employees and areas affec

across nottinghamshire, to the north of the county, places like mansfield and worksop will remain ininghamshire, for people here around nottingham, the tighter restrictions will be in place from thursday morning. members of the scottish parliament are debating and will later vote on scotland's new five—level system of local covid—19 restrictions. the first minister announced which areas of scotland would be under which tiers in the new system. the central belt areas currently under the toughest restrictions are likely to be in level three initially and most of the rest of the country it is likely to start in at level two. there are however some exceptions under consideration. firstly, it is hope that the highlands, orkney, shetland, the western isles and more to a level one. less positively, we believe that the escalating situation in dundee city makes it possible that it will go to a level three. as has been reported, we are considering whether the very high rate of transmission and hospital admissions in north and south lanarkshire may necessitate a move may necessitate a move for

the city of nottingham and some other parts of nottinghamshire are moving into tier 3, the highest level more pressure and nhs staff are having to juggle competing demands. 0ur medical editor fergus walsh and his team were given extensive access to the royal victoria infirmary in newcastle and this is what they found. the royal victoria infirmary is part of the fabric of life in newcastle. 15,000 staff work at the trust. they're always busier as winter approaches, but this will be the first with coronavirus. we've got a very tired workforce. we know the beast that is covid pneumonia. it's devastating if you get a setback. for a couple of months in summer, there were no covid patients in intensive care — now staff are back in full ppe. covid continues to make people critically ill. it continues to make people's organs fail. it continues to cause death. that is still a frightening prospect for many people out there. but patient numbers are half that compared to the first wave, and very few are on ventilators. to me, this feels very different from the peak in april. doctors now know so much

greater manchester and nottinghamshire it is suggested will be in tier two, so that is the middle levelool area will be placed under tier three. just before we hear from the placed under tier three. just before we hearfrom the prime minister i wa nt to ta ke we hearfrom the prime minister i want to take you back to westminster and vicki young who is there for us now. a big moment for the prime minister. and for lots of people some despair we are back here where we are after those few weeks of freedom and even then, not for everybody over the summer. it has all come to a halt rather quickly. the prime minister back to the house of commons to explain why there are going to have to be tighter restrictions. the whole idea of having these three different tiers was to simplify things but central government has got in a dialogue and argument about what is supposed to happen and particularly ram the financial support there should be for those places that are forced to close which looks if you are in tier three, places like liverpool, that the pubs there will be. you closed. what kind of support

i wonder, given the localised infection rates in part of nottinghamshire, 370 per hundred thousand ands... i don't know ifi parliamentary recess... i don't know if i can just invite parliamentary recess... i don't know if i canjust invite him to parliamentary recess... i don't know if i can just invite him to see anything now? i know members from those areas will be concerned that with parliament not sitting next week, they may not have an opportunity to put their points to put the points on the record and i think it would be important, perhaps because when sending now, the secretary of state, perhaps to offer some reassurance to people in that pa rt some reassurance to people in that part of the world? as previously announced, discussions are under way. we want to proceed in consultation with and working with the local areas. and of course with the local areas. and of course with the parliamentary recess next week, we will find a way to ensure that collea g u es we will find a way to ensure that colleagues are less known of the situation in advance of any announcement. i'm gratefulfor

nottinghamshire, which is also in tier 2, is in talks about whether it should move to the very highestevel. pulling down the shutters and hanging up the closed sign. wales has begun its first full day of a national lockdown, which the cardiff government hopes will slow the spread of covid—i9. all but essential businesses have closed. that means no more indoor exercise for a while. people can no longer meet others they don't live with, either indoors or outdoors, and they are discouraged from leaving home, except to buy food and medication, provide care or go to work. and, although supermarkets remain open, they have been told not to sell nonessential items. over the border, police in gloucestershire say they are going to check that drivers heading out of wales have a good reason to be travelling. meanwhile, the scottish government has unveiled its own five—tier alert system. restrictions will vary across the country. and all parts of the uk are now watching closely to see if any one nation has discovered the magic formula to stop covid—i9 in its tracks, or, at the very least, find a wa

nottinghamshire and the north east are likely to face this in the days ahead and there's the prospect johnson, bbc news, in manchester. nicola sturgeon has announced a new tiered system of coronavirus restrictions for scotland, which will come into force a week on monday. unlike in england, it will have five levels. 0ur correspondentjames shaw is in glasgow. james, what did she have to say? well, she did talk about these five levels, of course two more than a happening in england. level 0, the first one, essentially, is as close to normality as you can get until there is an effective vaccine, and then the restrictions ramp up through levels i—3, and nicola sturgeon explained that level 3 is similarto sturgeon explained that level 3 is similar to the restrictions that are in place, quite tight restrictions, in the central belt of scotland, so different households not allowed to meet indoors, most licensed premises closed, and then level 4, close to the kind of lockdown that we experienced in march of this year, although some activities will be able to continue, so schools will stay ope

the whole of nottinghamshire will now enter tier 3 restrictions on friday instead of tomorrow affectingnorthern ireland a fall in cases after restrictions were introduced: but a warning. we are all in this together. if all of us are not in together, lives will be lost. i can see as soon as the lockdown happened, the hospital admissions did come down. france and germany are expected to announce new measures as cases

the chancellor represents north yorkshire, i represent north nottinghamshire.f us would want to do anything that hurts the north or the midlands more than any part of the country, but it is right that we take a localised approach. the government has pledged to pay two thirds of people's wages where businesses are forced to close, but it's not just labour politicians who say that is not enough. i have called and made public demands that it has to at the very least leave packages alternate to the furlough march lockdown and anything less is not acceptable. ministers say support for affected businesses is part of an unprecedented package of measures and tomorrow we'll hear more on any changes to travel, new tiers of restrictions. the country, one top scientist says, is at a tipping point. out enjoying themselves last night people know change is on the way. jessica parker, bbc news. earlier i spoke to professor stephen reicher, who advises both the uk and scottish goverments on covid—i9, with a focus on behaviour, he started by telling what proportion of people are

and tens and tens of billions paying the wages of millions of people, including workers at this nottinghamshireunity in this crisis, the production lines are churning out ppe. but for the boss, jim, business feels precarious still. i think the one thing i would say to him is if you are going to make announcements to help us, make it happen now, not many, many months later, because now is the problem, not the middle of next year. mr sunak still has an eye on the future and sticking to tory ideals. we have a sacred responsibility to future generations to leave the public finances strong, and through careful management of our economy this conservative government will always balance the books. balance the books? rishi sunak‘s time in number 11 has been all about getting money out of the door to stop an economic crisis becoming a real catastrophe. and he can promise that huge spending and borrowing will come to an end but there is not a whisper of when, let alone how. ..placed in us. with a pandemic at party conference there is no applause, no normal and months still of trouble for the economy to co
