i don't need to tell you how important that is for edinburgh. this could potentially be the end of so many businesses. we are so aware of the importance of the hospitality sector. i agree with the point about the water supply chain and the impact that has, that it's a very interwoven and interconnected ecosystem and it's notjust hospitality. it includes hotels and bars and restaurants, but also creative sectors, live music, theatre, comedy and beyond, so i think we are very aware that there will be a significant impact and we have to do everything as an authority to do we can to support those businesses. i think we understand, i think it's hugely welcome but the first things is to recognise it will have an impact on hospitality. and we are in conversation and how we can make sure how those businesses can be properly supported, and a whole range of measures we put into place to try and support businesses as well. it's a very difficult part of this pandemic and what we're going through, and something we are very mindful of. on that package that wa

they talk about a study by edinburgh university in the mail. restriction measures are actually very dangerous. before you get to that, you have to explain the picture because obviously, this is the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. are these real pictures? they may have had some photoshop involved because they so clearly illustrate the editorial message the mail is trying to get across here, because we should remember the daily mail is the paper of biddle england. it represents the middle classes of this country. —— middle england. the fa ct this country. —— middle england. the fact they are turning against the government strategy on this should bea government strategy on this should be a big concern for borisjohnson's government, and the same on the front page of the daily telegraph. keir starmer's skepticism to the 10pm curfew. i think on the mail's front page, what they're really saying is are these measures necessary. they are talking about eight to ten people not showing any symptoms. the huge cost of shutting down business

let's get more now on the news that pubs and restaurants that serve alcohol in glasgow, edinburgh and the central belt half in order to close for 16 days from friday evening as part of efforts to limit the spread of covid—19. elsewhere in scotland, licenced premises can only open for restricted hours and they will not be allowed to serve alcohol indoors. meanwhile because of the virus the national five exams which are set by 15—16 —year—olds in scotla nd are set by 15—16 —year—olds in scotland are to be cancelled for 2021 and will be replaced with teacher assessments and coursework. let's cross to holyrood now and speak about both of these issues with scott when‘s education secretaryjohn sweeney who is also deputy first minister and we are grateful you have been able to join us grateful you have been able to join us here in bbc news. let's talk about the restrictions that nicola sturgeon announced in the scottish parliament first of all if we may. she had announced a set of measures a couple of weeks ago. what has gone wrong that has made you think you need to impose a

edinburgh, which you should welcome. now coronavirus rules may have been the focus for mps concerned at the way the government is bringing in significant new laws with limited parliamentary scrutiny but there's also concern that the method is being used in other areas, such as relaxing the planning rules in england. there's growing concern among conservative mps about new rules that will allow developers to add two storeys to some houses and blocks of flats. a conservative former minister was worried about the way the government was designating areas for new houses. harriett baldwin said there was a lot to welcome in the government's proposals. but.... the formula that's been used to allocate the homes seems be doing the opposite. it is overshooting numbers and investment is concreting down rather than levelling up. so, could my right honourable friend commit that when the consultation closes tomorrow, that he will pledge to change some of the elements of this, dare i say it, algorithm? well, i am grateful to my right ho

the new rules apply across the central belt — which includes glasgow and edinburgh. in other areas, venues will only be able to sell alcohol outdoors until 10pm. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says she wants to avoid a full winter lockdown we hope to slow down its spread and that will help us keep schools and businesses including hospitality businesses open over the winter. meanwhile the national five exams are to be cancelled in scotland in 2021 and replaced with teacher assessments and coursework. latest figures show a further 1a thousand 100 and 62 coronavirus infections have been recorded across the uk. another 70 people have died within 28 days of testing positive two ex—british alleged islamic state militants are charged in the united states over the killing of four american hostages. a major supplier of coronavirus swabs and cancer tests to the nhs warns it's experiencing significant distribution problems. could tonight be the most important us vice presidential debate in history? mike pence and kamala harris prepare to go head to head on live tv.

from glasgow to edinburgh, all licensed premsies in scotland's central belt will close on friday for 16 days. in the rest of scotland there's a 6pm curfew and no alcohol served indoors. without action, and this is perhaps the starkest warning in today's evidence paper, we are likely to return to the peak level of infections we had in the spring by the end of this month. no unnecessaryjourneys on public transport and face coverings will soon be mandatory when moving around workplaces. meanwhile, there are warnings that some hospitals in northern england are already seeing admissions levels similar to those back in april. as infections soar in some cities — the mayor of greater manchetser warns of a dangerous winter of discontent. four men have gone on trial over the deaths of 39 vietnamese migrants found dead in a lorry in essex. and all aboard for one of the last surviving d—day veterans — harry billinge is honoured with a high—speed train in his name. and coming up in sport on bbc news: sale sharks say they're devastated as they miss out on the play—offs after six more pla

more depressing news for the high street, i'm afraid, edinburgh woollen mill, who in many high street chains as jaeger and peacocks, all our viewers will have heard of them, they have 11,000 stores, so a lot, and today, and we have only had this in the last few minutes also, it says in response to what it calls harsh trading conditions during the pandemic, it has filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators with the high court. to clarify, that does not mean they are in administration but the process is under way. it says by doing this, it gives the company room to breathe and to work out what it can do next. it also says it has received a number of expressions of interest for particular brands of its stores. the group employs 2a,000 people, so those jobs could be the group employs 2a,000 people, so thosejobs could be potentially the group employs 2a,000 people, so those jobs could be potentially at risk. we know the high street has suffered tremendously. it was in distress before the pandemic and post—pandemic, it got even worse. the centre for retail research says as of t

would notice it tends to edinburgh would notice it tends to be an older person who tends to be not out and about as much of the high street during the pandemic. and that the other thing about this group is they have a particular focus on the high street so unlike other chains of shops, they don't have a particularly strong online presence. they've got 1100 traps around the uk and that sort of real estate is a sort nearly expensive. how does this process of administration work? what it means if someone goes around looks at the viability of the business over the next ten or so day and sees whether there is any of the business that can be salvaged but reading the statement i'm afraid there will be many thousands of cuts as a result of this. there might be a possibility we have seen for example and other retailers recently that some of the big online retailers step and to buy some of these shops. they are really strong brands like austin reed and peacock. katie, from the moment, thank you. katie prescott. let's return to the plans announced by the chancellor this afternoon to support busin

rules will apply to all licensed premises across the central belt of scotland, including glasgow and edinburgh — they'll have to close indoors and outdoors, but takeaways will be permitted. without action, and this is perhaps the starkest warning in today's evidence paper, we are likely to return to the peak level of infections we had in the spring by the end of this month. scotland is to ban unnecessary journeys on public transport, and face coverings will soon be mandatory when moving around the workplace. we'll also have the latest on rising infection rates in parts of england, where new restrictions are set to be announced next monday. also tonight... the perils of long covid — we report on the long—term effects of the illness, suffered by hundreds of thousands of people. life in a warzone — we report on the families trapped by fighting between azerbaijan and armenia. people here tell us this is the way it's been for the last few days. it's become the normal routine to have indiscriminate shelling. and the new film about a group of black campaigners and their struggle against polic

review point we will be able to consider moving some areas, east lothian in particular and possibly edinburgh, from level three to level two reasonably soon. i cannot make that commitment now but i hope we will be able to confirm it in the coming weeks. our approach to managing covid will work best when there is a real partnership between neighbouring authorities and health boards on how to drive down levels of infection, share resources and communicate with and support communities. i indicated earlier this week that we had cause for concern in relation to dundee and that we expected to move into level three. the da seeing around 185 per 100,000 cases per week —— dundee is seeing. that is higher than several areas in level three, therefore we have decided a level three assessment for dundee is correct and so from monday at 6am, dundee will move into level three. support is available for businesses which will be required to close and all businesses will have access to the replacementjob support scheme from the uk government which begins on monday. i would encourage all businesses in dundee

it is in fact the smallest in edinburgh, you may well know it. it has been shut since the start of lockdown as a result. steve, thanks so much for waiting to talk to us. goodness, your reaction to everything nicola sturgeon has been talking about. i believe these latest measures were inevitable. they have been flagged up with the increasing numbers of infections that this type of measures were going to be introduced, and so i really wasn't surprised an hour or so ago when i had these measures that will result in all pubs in the central belt being closed down two weeks from friday tea—time i believe. and you will know a lot of people i would assume who are directly affected by this, you must know an awful lot of business owners in yourline of know an awful lot of business owners in your line of work? absolutely. it has been an incredibly difficult time for the hospitality sector. first of all, we had the social distancing, then we had the curfew, now there is going to be a two—week shutdown. any number of problems with the staffing situation,

writing on twitter, she said the government in edinburgh would contine to consider data on the spread of the virus in the coming days — and take account of any developments in england. 0ur scotland correspondent, alexandra mackenzie, has been giving me more details. nicola sturgeon sent out quite a lengthy message on twitter this morning in reaction to the discussions ongoing in london today. one of the things she did say on twitter is people should not be travelling to and from england at this stage, except for essential purposes. by essential purposes, the scottish government usually means things like dental appointments, if you are caring for someone, if you are having to travel for work. so apart from these things, nicola sturgeon has said, "don't travel between scotland and england." the first minister also on twitter said, in her words, in regards to speculation about lockdown in england, "the "scottish government will also always take account "of any developments." now, as you know, boris is due to speak later today. if england does go into lockdown, the big question is what

i'm joined now by devi sridhar, who's chair of global public health at the university of edinburgh. good afternoon to you, thank you so much forjoining us. so, it seems that we have to prepare ourselves for a lockdown of around a month. do you think this is the right way forward ? you think this is the right way forward? unfortunately, there is no choice at this point, giving the horizon —— given the rising hospitalisations and that is what we see with this virus, we continually underestimate this and are caught in a reactive position when we let it spread or we let case numbers rise and think that is harmless. so, u nfortu nately, and think that is harmless. so, unfortunately, in the position england is in, it seems inevitable they have to slow it down. nobody wa nts a they have to slow it down. nobody wants a lockdown but it seems like there is no other choice right now because uncontrolled spread would be even worse. is this action that you think the government should have taken earlier? i actually go back to the summer and say we had a lockdown and we had some kind of restri
