for professor van tam, human contact does notjust homes?ton, itjust has not worked. how about the measures of transmission going on in educational settings? how worried are you about that when there are no restrictions on that currently? thank you, richard. i am very confident and jonathan has shown you the data that infection rates are increasing in the community, particularly in the areas you have mentioned around the north west and merseyside so the data is clear and the difference from the first wave in april is we have that data, this time round we can see it very local level how infection rates are increasing and those heat maps that jonathan showed earlier showed new community transmission and increased rates of infection in the community. it is obviously important we also control infection in hospitals, we are doing that with some of the measures i have described and announced today we will introduce regular testing of asymptomatic staff in those high prevalence areas. this is a problem of community infection rates increasing and in

i will askjonathan van—tam to comment on that in a second, but i just van—tam to comment on that in ais a situation that tragically is being replicated up and down the country. we do have to prevent the spread of the virus in care homes can make you remember what happened in the early pa rt remember what happened in the early part of the year, so we have had to ta ke part of the year, so we have had to take some steps to protect elderly residents from the possibility of infection by visitors. but we are certainly looking at what we can do to review the circumstances that might allow people to visit their elderly relatives in extreme circumstances, and on compassionate grounds. i can see how absolutely wretched it is and i think many, many people across the country have now had experience of this problem. jvt, do you want to add anything? thank you, prime minister. this is really extremely distressing and i know it is extremely distressing for relatives and for people who live in ca re relatives and for people who live in care homes. but the unfortunate and horrible truth about this vi

jonathan van—tam is well known for his use of colourful analogy.k to the times of the downing street press when he admonished the british public not to rip the pants out of the guidelines. this time he is using analogies like, the seasons are against us, we are sailing into a headwind. there is morejust the are sailing into a headwind. there is more just the seasons against us here, though. back at the beginning of all of this, we were very much united against a virus, we were going to try to suppress it, the end point was suppression of the virus and getting back to normality. now i think that we have actually got the morale of the nation against us as well as the winter coming, so i think he is taking all of that into account, because he realises that people are going to really struggle not just with the people are going to really struggle notjust with the oncoming winter and the challenges that that brings, but the challenges of six months of having done this already and no obvious end in sight this time. so i do agree with him, and i do think h

yes, jonathan van—tam, a well—known figure now, is sharing that statement last night, and one of thec health officials are keen to remind people about this is that yes, this is partly about restrictions and rules in place, but it is also about public compliance and people sticking to the rules, and clearly there has been a lot of discussion about the amount of time the rules have changed causing confusion, and has therefore led to some public weariness with it all. but i think an effort there from jonathan van—tam to really try to encourage people to follow the rules as much as possible. jessica parker, our political correspond that, thank you very much. we can speak now to martin greenhow, who is managing director of mojo — a chain of cocktail bars in the north of england. thank you very much indeed for being with us. just tell us, what are your worries about the current situation, and in particular these latest round of restrictions that we are expecting to be announced tomorrow. i think it is important to say that the curfew already represents a systematic execution of the hospita

england's deputy chief medical officer professor jonathan van—tam said that more deaths would follow,ight follows day", as he urged people to limit social contact in order to safeguard the nhs. talks on tough new restrictions for the worst hit parts of england are continuing, ahead of tomorrow's statement by boris johnson. in the us, donald trump's doctor has said the president is no longer contagious for the virus, ten days after he first showed symptoms. more on that shortly, but firstjohn mcmanus has this report on the situation in england. it's been a tough year so far, and it's understandable that people are keen to unwind. with further restrictions on socialisaing looming, last night in liverpool, many were making the most of what may be a final weekend of partying — for now, at least. it seems that for some parts of the country, a difficult winter may be on the way, and the government needs the public to co—operate. i think it could be managed a lot better. i don't think all this lockdown thing works, everybody going home at ten o'clock. i think it could be managed better. they

jonathan van tam did say that below the age of16, it van tam did say that below the age of 16, it doesg into young adult age groups of 20-29, that is into young adult age groups of 20—29, that is the age group really worried about at the moment. they said, please don't hold back from contacting the nhs. 0f said, please don't hold back from contacting the nhs. of course, when there was the lockdown before, nonurgent surgeries were cancelled, waiting lists built up. across the board there was restricted access to medical services. what have they said about preparedness at this time around because obviously people will be concerned about the knock—on impact again? they are vowing that they do not want to have the kind of blunt lockdown that disrupted so many treatments, things like hip and knee replacements that have people ina lot knee replacements that have people in a lot of pain. they do not want to see all of that derailed like last time. so they are putting on stand by the nightingale hospitals in areas such as manchester, sunderland and harrogate that will help the nhs cope if they

in a briefing this morning, deputy chief medical officer jonathan van—tam produced this graph, whichheating up" across all of england, notjust in the north. the dark brown areas show those parts of the country most affected. professor van tam said infections, which started among younger people, have spread to the 60—plus age group in the north west and north east — and that other regions are following suit. the rise in cases means nightingale hospitals have been put on standby in manchester, sunderland and harrogate. those new tiered restrictions will be a chance for the prime minister to halt the spread of coronavirus — he'll be addressing mps at 3:30pm this afternoon to give more details on the measures. we'll be bringing that to you live here on the bbc news channel. our political correpsondent nick eardley has our first report. enjoying a drink in liverpool at the weekend, but for the next few weeks, at least, this won't be possible. 1.5 million people in the liverpool city region are facing significant new curbs. pubs, gyms and some other venues closed to try and stop the spread

jonathan van tam has been very straight, talking to the pandemic.company with the politicians on things, so one would actually perhaps take more solace from what he is saying and being positive than perhaps a cabinet minister. the government this week changed the rules to allow a different level of health professional to give the vaccine should it become available so that nurses and paramedics and other health professionals could do it. obviously it's a question of whether it will be available, how effective it will be and then how do you use it. obviously front line staff are the most vulnerable and at risk but i think it's a glimmer of hope. another covid story but i want you to get to the front page of the sunday telegraph and we are talking about the search on for a covert exit strategy. yes, boris johnson has a lot of trouble in his own party at the moment especially with what is going on up north where his red wall mps are pretty upset with him at what he has been doing there. now these are sort of the other rebels and they include sir graeme

there isa jonathan van tam last night.eting this morning, so is a further meeting this morning, so andy burnham is meeting with downing street at 10am, in about one hour's time. greater manchester's mps are meeting on a video call at about 10:45. a mps are meeting on a video call at about10:a5. asimilar mps are meeting on a video call at about 10:45. a similar meeting involving lancashire's mps taking place at 10:15. i suppose there will be meetings with other leaders in lancashire and the government as well today was that the focus is on those areas where the risk is seen to be greatest and those that need to be greatest and those that need to be, in the view of the scientists, shifted into tier three as soon as possible. but there is political knock—about and push back on arguments was that we have heard from mr burnham repeatedly over the last few days that he doesn't think the support package for those regions put into tier three is adequate enough. similar noises have been made in lancashire about a lack of support, a

on the evidence for hospitality, to go back to the first bit of your question, jonathan van tam put itontribute to people mixing. and the ones that are most likely to lead to transmission events are indoors with households that are not your household, in relatively crowded environments, without masks and so on. this is true for hospitality and other sectors as well. but it is one of the areas where, around the world, there is a view that this is one of the contributors. not the only one, but one of the contributors to this. that is why the hospitality sector has been involved in restrictions, in some places very significant restrictions, in multiple countries across europe and the world. this is across europe and the world. this is a professional judgment. we across europe and the world. this is a professionaljudgment. we will not have randomised evidence for some time for any intervention. currently, we have two poles we are confident of. a full lockdown works, and letting it go will lead to very substantial numbers. between those, what every country is trying to do is to find, for an

professor van tam said infections, which started among younger people, have spread to the 60—plus agen the north—west and north—east, and that other regions are following suit. the rise in cases means nightingale hospitals have been put on standby in manchester, sunderland and harrogate. those new tiered restrictions will be a chance for the prime minister to halt the spread of coronavirus — he'll be addressing mps in half an hour to give more details on the measures. we'll be bringing that to you live here on bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardley has our first report. enjoying a drink in liverpool at the weekend, but for the next few weeks, at least, this won't be possible. 1.5 million people in the liverpool city region are facing significant new curbs. pubs, gyms and some other venues closed to try and stop the spread of coronavirus. the point of doing this now is to ensure that we get the disease under control. we've seen it rapidly rising, certainly in those areas. we need to take action, because if we don't take this reasonable, measured and proportionate action now

we saw the fairly sober data jonathan van tam unveiled this morning in a public health briefing, showingfrom as you mentioned, from that teenage, young student cohort up to go to people who are more susceptible to getting the worst side effects and symptoms of coronavirus. also pretty grim news today that the government and it's it's a patient perhaps of nhs hospitals becoming potentially overwhelmed as foot three of the nightingale facilities on standby in manchester, harrogate, and sunderland. i think it is adding to this gravity of the situation that we are expecting to see a good deal more hospitalizations and deaths. it is worth marking that the government has said that the number of people in hospitals with covid—19 today is i'iow in hospitals with covid—19 today is now the same as it was on march the 23rd when we initially wanted to lockdown, so we are back at that point that we initially were earlier this spring in the cases are going up. yes. the telegraph running the same picture, the same frame actually a boris johnson same picture, the same frame actually a borisjohnson in th

that one has passed, this is jonathan van tam, the plain speaking deputy chief medical officer, has becomemuch on television and in this case he was not speaking publicly, he was speaking i guess in a semi private capacity to mps and this was on monday. i do wonder why this wasn't being relayed to them and not to the general public. —— was being relayed to them. sorry... the observer, let's go on to that, because they are talking about the economic impact of all of this once again for top a million young british people facing eightjobs top a million young british people facing eight jobs crisis top a million young british people facing eightjobs crisis and again, this is a familiar story. predictions of dire unemployment figures to come. yes, and particularly hitting young people who really are, they are being called to the covid generation, and they are being affected so badly by they are being affected so badly by the pandemic in the uk. this is a report that is coming out to tomorrow. it has been written by bath university's paul greg, who is a leading labour market expert and he is say

got an increase in capacity in the nhs, but there is some whirring noise is coming out and jonathan van tams who says we are a critical point, he clearly is one if you sharpen up people about this and they want people to follow the rules. this is what part of these last few days to spin around. they don't want to do a full knock—down from it doesn't look like there will be a full lockdown but they want people to start taking it very seriously again, get back to the basics, washing hands, keeping social distancing, hopefully that will help because there has been talked in some areas where things, these numbers are plateauing a little bit, so hopefully the role of six message is getting too but i think at the moment, they are when if you sharpen up our minds about this thing and we have been told there will be a long hard winter and it does look like it from the reports that are coming out tonight. speaking of a long hard winter, the front page of the yorkshire post. it is talking about the north looking set to face a winter hardship. that is the other factor. not every region is equally affe

and john van tam put it in very stark terms and showed some very alarming graphical representation of what's going on too he showed for example a map which had a purple blotch over the over the northwest of england showing that this is where corona virus is particularly prevalent at the moment but a 2nd map of england wales which showed a brief use the brown color to show where the rate of infection was it was escalating in accelerating at a very rapid rate and it wasn't just concentrated in the north west it was much further south indeed jonathan van dam went on to say for example it was wishful thinking that elderly people could somehow be fenced off he said it was a national phenomenon and that further deaths are inevitable because of the rise in cases already recorded so the lag in the system in the data meant that the deaths are inevitably going to go up because that's the way that the figures work and finally he said that the rise in hospital admissions was a concern because it's doubled in england in the past 2 weeks there's been a lot of wrangling as to exactly what the respon

professor donovan van tams has the country is now at a similar point to where it was in march.ions were rising and they were fears the nhs would be overwhelmed. but with better testing and treatment, he says history doesn't have to repeat itself. also key of course is controlling the rate of transmission. the prime minister's statement on monday is expected to point to how that might be achieved. john mcmanus, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent jessica parker. jessica, what are they likely to be discussing? the papers filled with speculation about what is likely to have —— happen tomorrow. we don't know for certain. what will happen today? conversations will continue going on between downing street and local leaders. we know number ten pretty keen to be seen engaging with regional leaders after they were accused of basically doing the opposite previously so those conversations will carry on and is reported tomorrow, we are expecting to hear from the reported tomorrow, we are expecting to hearfrom the prime minister in the house of commons, likely laying ou

, but before you say 0k, jonathan van tam, but before you say ok, that is fine, we know the virusrestrictions, i greater manchester in this way, so there is that push for more generous financial packages, which was not forthcoming in the meeting this morning at downing street, but there‘s also some concern again it‘s the conservative mps and the restrictions on and if i would further damage the economy. we‘re talking to sir graham brady who was one of the advisers, but crucially he also chairs a meeting of 22 backbench committee of conservative mps, so very influential, it was remarkable —— remarkable just mps, so very influential, it was remarkable —— remarkablejust how mps, so very influential, it was remarkable —— remarkable just how he was able to with what i do but i was saying that he did not want to see any effectual measures imposed that would cause to close down hospitality and have a disproportionate sex on that sector this mightjust disproportionate sex on that sector this might just put disproportionate sex on that sector this mightjust put in effect, and would did not

both in england wales and in scotland and northern ireland and john van tam put it in very stark terms and showed some very alarming graphical representation of what's going on too he showed for example a map which had a purple blotch over the over the northwest of england showing that this is where corona virus is particularly prevalent at the moment but a 2nd map of england wales which showed a brit use the brown color to show where the rate of infection was it was escalating in accelerating at a very rapid rate and it wasn't just concentrated in the north west it was much further south indeed jonathan van dam went on to say for example it was wishful thinking that elderly people could somehow be fenced off he said it was a national phenomenon and that further deaths are inevitable because of the rise in cases already recorded so the lag in the system in the data meant that the deaths are inevitably going to go up because that's the way the figures work and finally he said that the rise in hospital admissions was a concern because it's doubled in england in the past 2 weeks and this

i do agree, of course, with what professorjonathan van tam said, and he is a very fine scientist andpolitical differences for politics sense, what people are looking for his people to come together and make the right decisions in the national interest or in the local interest and to take these decisions as locally as possible to make sure that we support people as much as possible, ta ke support people as much as possible, take action where it's necessary, but make sure that we don't take action where it isn't necessary. thank you, mr speaker. the prime minister earlier said he was still talking to the northeast. can i reiterate that in the northeast, we believe that we should remain in tier 2 and believe that we should remain in tier2and are believe that we should remain in tier 2 and are working hard to that end. what we do need is financial support for the test and trace work already being carried out effectively locally, and financial support for our hospitality, leisure and retail sectors who are taking the strain of current restrictions. so will he now fund the test and trace w

to hear about the latest covid—19 data from the deputy chief medical officer, professor jonathan van—tam has not yet been reached. the chief executive of british airways alex cruz has stepped down from the role with "immediate effect". the chinese city of qingdao will have its entire population of nine million people tested for covid after a handful of new infections. and the premier league criticises a radical plan

him with the full update once i taken advice from my clinical advisers and from presidentjonathan van tamthe weekend when my constituents credited me to tell me that her son and three of his flatmates at november university had tested positive for covid—19 and they are also isolating. despite that they have been bombarded with of the ten times a day from nhs test and trace. it is the same story of another constituents and his family who are so mostly because member has tested positive and in his words we are not stupid people, we don't need pointless telephone calls every other day. what a waste of time and money, says mrs perry. can i asked secretary of state when he will admit the national system has failed and wimberly handover test and more importantly tracing to local directors of public health who know their areas directors of public health who know theirareas and directors of public health who know their areas and note their communities and know how to do test and trace properly? the honourable gentleman is completely wrong on two fronts. this is been a very contentious statement s

so i would say we need to listen to the advice which we heard very clearly from jonathan van tam yesterdaynda bauld, how did you react a chris whitty saying last night he was not confident the base level of restrictions on the very high alert areas would be enough to get on top of the virus and encourage local leaders to go further? i was not surprised because as sian knows, those of us working in public health have been focusing on this topic for many months. we speak to our colleagues on sage and it is very clear their view was well backin it is very clear their view was well back in september that more was needed and it is notjust a circuit breaker idea but more restrictions temporarily. so when i heard things, i will give you a specific example, huge sympathy for businesses even tier three restaurants, places serving food, some of those are still permitted to stay open. i really think that more is probably going to be needed. i thought it was very interesting to see the chief medical officer being so clear about that and aligning more in the spirit of what sage said on september 21. ho

during a coronavirus briefing on monday the deputy chief medical officer, jonathan van tam, said it isease course and those are slimmer. but in tier 3 gyms are closing and sporting activities restricted. what is the secretary of state doing to ensure we can encourage activity in people who are in those areas? perhaps a work—out to help out scheme with free online activities targeted to each age group and each physical ability? mr speaker, i love the idea of work—out to help out. it is undoubtedly true from the science i have seen that obesity contributes to worse impact on you if you catch coronavirus. it is something the prime minister has spoken about with great passion and it is something that we want to tackle. i will absolutely look into that idea. i would also say that we have changed the proposals, both for the people who are shielding and evenin the people who are shielding and even in the highest risk, very high tier 3 areas to always be clear that outdoor exercise is a good thing. thank you very much. my constituents are being denied routine blood tests because the swiss comp

he, jonathan van tam and steve powis gave entirely consistent briefings.if you —— for a few weeks, hairdressers at that university should largely teach online because students have returned and those infection rates have been spiking in some parts of the country. robertjenrick, the communities secretary who liaises with local government, said that effectively what the government did was act robustly in some areas, introducing the rule of six and having the hospitality curfew at ten o‘clock across england, but also that the government was taking a balanced coach, weighing up the effects on the economy on any other restrictions. —— balanced approach. he says that they have now gone further in certain areas, including the very tight restrictions on merseyside. i wonder though whether other areas, manchester, newcastle and birmingham, for example, who are just at the tier below, would they move to tier three and like liverpool and the rest of merseyside faith further restrictions once he has finished negotiating with the local government leaders.” has finished

we should say that that was the comment from mr van tam.f the scientists are saying that the tier is not going to lead to national success here, then is it right to follow it? are there any meeting scheduled between local leaders and the national government over the next couple of days? there is nothing in my diary, no. thank you for talking to this morning. let‘s speak to a lancashire mp, the conservative member for rossendale and darwen jake berry. i‘m not sure how much you heard of that interview there, but he was making very clear that he is not clear and mps making very clear that he is not clearand mps and making very clear that he is not clear and mps and councillors around him are not clear about tier 3 restrictions and the impact it is having on the economy. why was it accepted where you are? i'm really pleased that in lancashire we have been able to agree a way forward. the truth is that we know in large parts of the north—west that tier 2 does not work because on wednesday this week when new restrictions were brought in for many
