industry body uk hospitality says a third of bars and restaurants have yet to reopen. of this african restaurant nearby says the scheme has helped him recoup some of his lockdown losses but he says it needs to return. give september that breathing space, let the schools open, and then bring it back in october and november were predominately it is going to be the quietest part of the year and that is where the biggest worry is. the boom in visitors and people on staycations that bournemouth has seen this summer helps to explain why restaurants and pubs in the town have seen such a big boost from the government discount scheme. that is not the case everywhere, though. location is key in determining how successful the past month has been for businesses. pub giant greene king has 3,000 pubs and restaurants. it says while it has seen a benefit overall, city centre venues lacking the usual office workers and tourists are struggling. a lot of our businesses were 50, 70, 90% up year on year. london, our central london, was about 30% down year on year, so it is pretty stark. i

joining me now is david sheen, public affairs director, uk hospitality. cessful for the hospitality industry. an update last week showed that over 64 million meals had been purchased through the scheme and we expect that to increase as we come into the bank holiday weekend. the latest data shows that over half of the population has taken part in the scheme and we are really, really pleased with the success of the initiative and it has kept many businesses going through what could be a difficult august. kept them going but it does and today. are many businesses do you think will try and carry it on on their own to canteen you to boost their business? we are seeing positive signs that businesses are showing initiative to generate more consumer demand as the scheme and finesse. i think it will clearly be a difficult autumn and winterfor the clearly be a difficult autumn and winter for the sector but we are confident that with the right level of support the sector will see through the colder months ahead. what do you mean by the right level of support? what do

hospital treatment is extremely small. i think the most important message from this paper is that children make up a tiny proportion of severe covid in the ukvanishingly rare, and i would like to say that these findings are really reassuring. the study by the british medicaljournal looked at 70,000 patients admitted to hospital in the uk. just 651 were children. six of those died and all had serious underlying health problems. children of black ethnicity, those who are obese and very young babies have a slightly higher risk. but the vast majority of children have mild or no symptoms at all. tracy mcguire's daughter peyton was born maturely. she was diagnosed with covid—19 when she was just three weeks old. khalifa us she didn't show any symptoms, and therefore she actually seemed to get through it fine, and it went from a positive test, to, the next one was negative, and at that point in time we were just so grateful that we managed to get through the next hurdle, as we saw it recalled the most recent daily government figures show there we re daily government figures show there were more than 1500 covid cases in the uk, the highest since mi

uk." it's a study of more than 79,000 admissions to hospital in britain, effectively says that no healthy e a staggering piece of research and actually it might help as a country sta rts actually it might help as a country starts to open up. indeed, yeah. the timing has been usefulfor the government, given its very keen to get children back to school that something the government's scientific advisers did see for their most recent statement on this. it is encouraging and it does show that children are not very susceptible to the virus. what they say is they don't know of any child who've died for the virus, they do say a severe form of the virus in some of those longer—lasting symptoms that were still slightly unclear how they work, but that's rare in children. but it still happens and there is still a risk of that. but it is dramatically less than in adults and older people. one thing i pulled out that i thought was interesting in looking at different groups who have been affected in different ways by the virus, the end of this article says the findings as children of black ethnicity were

our business correspondent, ben thompson has been explaining this is yet another blow to the uk hospitality may be choosing not to eat out in the way that they did before. pizza express telling us it has concluded what is known as a cva, that is basically an agreement with landlords who own those outlets to pay less rent. we have seen it particularly for high street retailers, also now in the restaurant sector. they are saying, look, we are earning less money, we need to pay you less money in rent. as far as those negotiations are concerned, pizza express saying 67 restaurants will close, deals on rents have been agreed with the others, but nonetheless 1,100 jobs could be affected by this. a further blow to an industry which is already struggling and already having to lay off thousands of thousands ofjobs. and the electrical retailer, dixons carphone is to cut 800 jobs as part of an overhaul of the way its stores are managed. the jobs will affect the group's curry pc world stores as they look to adapt following an increase in online sales during lockdown. the energy giant bp says it will cu

the sector was hit badly over lockdown, and we employ over 3 million people in the uk hospitality industryd about the wine, pretty good, because with the hours that we work, everybody else's brea kfast that we work, everybody else's breakfast time is our dinner time, so my glass of wine is waiting! seems reasonable, thanks, ben. let's get a view from another restaurateur. nisha katona is the founder and owner of mowgli street food, which has 11 outlets in england and wales. good morning, are you taking part in this scheme? yes, we are, we signed up this scheme? yes, we are, we signed up as soon as we knew it was available. it was reassuring that the government came up with something to re—inspire consumer confidence because that has been hit more than anything during this pandemic. we were anxious about what would happen when we opened again. historically one of the worst times for the hospitality industry, august is always one of the quietest times, so it comes at exactly the right time on exactly the right date, the right hours, so there is not a question in my mind about signing up. lot

one of them is the fact that the uk economy is incredibly focused on services, and services, face—to—face stuff whether it is hairdressing, restaurant, hospitalityt has been very hard—hit. the pandemic has not allowed that part of the economy to operate at anywhere near its full capacity. services 80%, manufacturing 10% of the economy but in germany manufacturing makes up 30% of theirgdp. others say that the lockdown came a bit late in the uk even though they had knowledge of it. what happened now is that the chancellor is playing, i don't know if you remember the game kerplunk — do you remember that? when you have all the marbles there at the top and all the little struts here. what he is trying to do now with a very generous, very big programme of government spending and protection forjobs, he has now got to try to carefully remove the supports without all the marbles crashing down. for some people, his plan is not nearly delicate enough. he plans to remove the furlough scheme which has supported 9.5 million jobs uniformly across the economy by the end of october, and there are some businesses and some industries which are not going to be anyw

the study looked at 70,000 patients who were admitted to hospital in the uk.died and all of them had serious underlying health problems. i think the most important message from this paper is that children make up a tiny proportion of severe covid in the uk and that death with covid in children is vanishingly rare. what i would like to say is that these findings are really reassuring. and, for myself as a parent, as a children's doctor and also as a scientist, i find these numbers are extremely reassuring for parents who are about to send their children back to school. the researchers also found that young people with black ethnicity and those medical staff classed as obese are more likely to need extra treatment, such as intensive care. the findings were seen in advance by england's chief medical officer, professor chris whitty. they were part of the evidence he looked at when he told parents on sunday that it is safe for children to return to school in september. pallab ghosh, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... donald trump accepts the republican party's

in the uk where the government runs the hospitals for the most part. they do have some private health insurance. in the government runs the benefits program. others actually use a mix up private and public sector. in all of those cases there was a core offering of health that was a super health model. that is one of the reasons why i think many of us in the u.s. feel like we have a lot to learn. while it's nice to be unique in this particular case we are spending on average two and half times as much for healthcare in the u.s. as others in canada and the uk our health outcomes are far worse. this is one of the reasons why we are very optimistic. fee-for-service versus be for health. let's see. will the supply to the wide variety of healthcare providers they have recently discovered that many in my practice are moving to the cash only system. i would really like to work in a different setting than that. i know that part of this is because of lobbying and tape shoe insurers. it means a physical therapist and if i have that wrong right another question in
