if england goes, as it appears, if england goes into this four week lockdown, what does the government need to do within that time? well, i think they clearly have to build up the test and trace system to be functional, i don't understand what i don't have that. they need to pay people to isolate so they have enough money to stay home, yourjob is to stay home. they need to look at better guidance, we have had a lot of confusing mixed messages and get away from the debates like is this like the flu? these are distractions, tell people simple things, get outside, have ventilation inside, wash your hands, keep your distance, use face coverings and we need to have real testing at airports and quarantine procedures because there is no point getting the numbers low again if you are going to reseed it. it will be in an ad, you will import it, you have people move, it is receded, go into lockdown, you will be stuck in the cycle and we have to break it and personally, ithink locking the cycle and we have to break it and personally, i think locking down over and over again is incredibly destruct

england are looking increasingly isolated. the government had always said when we push government ministers, will there be a national lockdown? they said, well, we don't rule out any particular course of action, but they clearly hope that the regional approach, despite the pain it caused politically, with the tussle between the mayor of manchester and the government a couple of weeks ago, that that was the better option, the argument being there are still significant parts of the country where the case rate is relatively low. but in recent days, even in those areas where it is low it has been increasing at quite a wait. and judging by the figures, even in those areas the suggestion is that the capacity in those hospitals and i was talking to one of our correspondence earlier about the south—west, where there is are less hospital capacity because of rural areas, they would hit crisis areas and points much earlier bourbon in more populous areas. exactly, this is the second document that has been circulating based on nhs englan

and up to 17 in the southeast of england, cloudless, the northern parts of northern england will be a cool day the chance to in this other parts of southeast england and some quite heavy showers moving through and the next weather system over night into friday morning to northern ireland pushing onto scotland and another speu pushing onto scotland and another spell of rain is heading our way. moving on to fred in the system continues to push us with southeast words, it is going to weekend. patchy rain and saw the morning on friday for western scotland too. sunny spells and a few showers following behind here and notice of that area of rain really is just disappearing into the afternoon with some cloud in a few spots with all thatis some cloud in a few spots with all that is left is the east and southeast of england. here, it will bea southeast of england. here, it will be a bit cooler on friday. that ta kes be a bit cooler on friday. that takes us into the weekend but the main thing about saturday is how windy it's going to be but this area of low pressure passing us to the northwest,

there is the band of rain leaving england and wales heading into the midlands, and across southern england rain could be heavier. showers following, with hailand be heavier. showers following, with hail and thunder possibly in those, particularly where we have stronger winds. in the heavier rain we could briefly make 15 degrees. that colder air is coming all the way from iceland on this north to north westerly airflow as we continue into the weekend. we have higher pressure to the west of the uk, lower pressure to the east. with that sort of wind flow we will get a mixture of wind flow we will get a mixture of sunshine and showers, most of the shower is probably on saturday, mainly affecting northern and western areas of the uk. eastern england may well be dry with sunshine at times. a chill in the wind mind you, and temperatures a disappointing i2 wind mind you, and temperatures a disappointing 12 to 13 degrees for much of the country. a cold start to the second half of the weekend. the strongest winds by this stage over eastern scotland, down the north sea coast of england and it's these

england, ireland and france all still in the hunt for glory. england are second in the table and play italy in rome in the next half hour. knowing a bonus point win will give them the best chance of another six nations crown. following that — it's top of the table ireland against france. by that point, both sides will know what's required to win the title. england captain 0wen farrell says all they can do is concentrate on themselves. we need to go out there and put ourselves in the best place possible. come kick—off, first, and then we obviously need to be disciplined in the way that we play. 0bviously all of the... normally, all of the good stuff that everybody wants to see comes off the back of the hard work that goes on early doors, so we have got to make sure that we do the basics really well. manchester city are back into the top half of the premier league table after a 1—0 win over sheffield united in the lunchtime kick off. kyle walker's goal proving the difference, scoring with this long range effort on his 100th league appearanc

drier and sunnier for many eastern parts of england until later in the day. they typically 12 or 13 degrees and feeling colder in the wind. the second half of the weekend, the strongest winds will be down the north sea coasts of england and scotland and this is where we will see most of any showers. elsewhere it will be generally dry and they will be sunshine at times. winds later as you head further west, but after a chilly start, temperatures are still 12 or 13. another big surge in coronavirus infections as hospitals gear up for the next wave. the impact of the pandemic means that more than 4 million people are now on hospital waiting lists for routine treatments. some hospitals like bournemouth are only treating a few coronavirus patients, but they have difficult decisions to make. if we see a flu season, if we see covid rising, how we balance that with keeping all the other patients who need to be treated in hospital coming through. next week, the government will announce new measures for parts of england targeting hotspots where the virus is rife. in le

the government opted for the tiered regional approach in england. but even the toughest restrictions in level three, tier 3, have not been enough to stop infections and bring numbers down quickly enough. the new data, the r number, how many people and infected person passes the virus to, that is still one across the uk, which means the epidemic are still growing. it is estimated there are between 50-100,000 new estimated there are between 50—100,000 new infections every day in england. experts are saying that feeds into hospital admissions and deaths, that is baked into the system and we will continue to see the rise. the new data that has been shown to the prime minister projected daily deaths in the second wave could double the 1000 per day figure we saw in april. we can see a graph, the black line is the reasonable worst—case scenario. graph, the black line is the reasonable worst-case scenario. that is the one nearer the bottom. you can see the new models exceed that. several of the lines suggest 2000 deaths per day, with one model suggestin

showers clearing through the south—west of england and rain close to the east coast of england. but for northern ireland and scotland it should be largely dry in the afternoon with sunny spells. quite windy here, and with the wind coming down from the north—east it won't feel warm by any stretch. 11 to 13 degrees, that is your lot. on tuesday further showers at times, but they become increasingly few and far between as we head through wednesday. the further north you are it should be dry with spells of sunshine. the strongest winds in the south at this stage, not feeling particularly warm though. it stays fairly chilly for the end of the

so all parts of england would be put into one of three tiers. most is in tier one with the rule of six applying indoors and out and pubs and restaurants closing at ten. in the higher level tier two, households are not allow to mix indoors. the toughest restrictions tier three mean no household mixing inside or out, the shutting of pubs and bars that don't serve meals and guidance against travelling in or out of the area. in the commons, there was a mixed reaction from mps. the government has asked a lot from people during this pandemic, stay at home, close your business, don't be there at the death of a loved one. british people have borne such sacrifice with grace and resilience, all they ask in return from government is clear communication and basic competence. yet, it seems, mr speaker, that their sacrifices have been squandered by the government's failure to build a robust test trace and isolation system or even communicate competently. people from conway, with 122 cases per 100,000, are not permitted by welsh law to make non—essential jou

but how well is testing and contact tracing an england function? tracing in england functioning? there are fewer people getting results back in 24 hours and fewer of their close contacts being reached. there are reports the system isn't working efficiently. these kent university students are isolating after three tested positive. that's what they told the test and trace system but they are frustrated to get repeated and unnecessary calls. six, seven times a day i get a phone call, saying you know someone who has tested positive, make sure you are isolating and then it's just the same call, the same kind of phone call every day, like multiple times a day. none of them seem to be in contact with one another. telling each other... there doesn't seem a system in place to tell them they have avoided got in contact with us. —— that they averted got in contact with us. sometimes they call and they don't know we have tested positive already. there is mounting concern over rising infections in the north west and some of these resulting in people getting seriously ill, with hospitals c

some of the younger one haven't done that yet with england. they don't have that credit in the bank. they've got to prove themselves, and they need to remember that it is an honour to play for england and all of these things as we're selecting squads moving forward do play a part in yourthinking. and as we know, many sports being affected at the moment. sale sharks missing out on a spot in the playoffs, and with it a shot at the premiership title, after they were forced to forfeit their final match of the season against worcester warriors. it was postponed on sunday and due to be played tonight after several players and staff tested positive for the virus. the club say they're devastated. it means worcester have been awarded the win, with bath the beneficiaries as they take the final playoff spot in that four—team berth. the england netball coach jess thirlby has not travelled to new zealand for the three—test series after testing positive for coronavirus, as well. thirlby is asymptomatic and currently self—isolating. the england team fl

and i have been on dozens of england and i have been on dozens of calls myself. what i do think is right about what the northern leaders had to say including joe anderson, the government has to continue to back business until the end of this pandemic, however that may look. because if we don't do that, frankly, all the money we have spent already has been wasted. these northern mayors and northern mps, they are saying to the government, look, if you are not going through until the end there was no point starting us on the journey in the beginning. i support a lot of what rishi sunak has come out with and i think he has reacted well to these demands in the north of england where businesses have closed, the government will stand by them, but i have sympathy with the view of the mayors that this can't be the end of the story and this has to be part of an ongoing conversation looking at which businesses need supporting and when because frankly, across the northern powerhouse we need to make sure that the day after covid, we have an economy that can bounce back and th

people. 0ther in england, with around 490 cases per 100,000 people. other parts of west yorkshire have a different picture. in leeds, it has gone down slightly and, in kirklees and calderdale, it's not as high but it is rising, and the whole region, with 2.3 million people, is being moved into tier 3 on monday, which means, although gyms can stay open, casinos, betting shops, soft play centres will have to close, along with pubs and bars that don't serve substantial meals. some businesses i have spoken to say they have been hanging by a thread after previous restrictions and the 10pm curfew, and some fear that this move to tier 3 could be the final nail in the coffin. the region is getting just over £59 million of funding from the government, but many fear that, with all that the area has gone through in recent months, that simply won't go far enough. let's have a reminder of what restrictions are in place in the other nations. scotland's first minister has urged people not to "twist" the new coronavirus regulations when they come into force on monda

he was also asked about restricting travel from england to wales and he spoke of his angen england to wales and he spoke of his anger, actually, and deep disappointment he said that in the cobra meeting this morning, the prime minister only mentioned issuing guidance on travelling out of areas with high infection rates. wheels's first minister mark dra keford has wheels's first minister mark drakeford has also said the same. he said he is deeply disappointed at the inadequate proposals to travel restrictions in high infection areas in england. —— wales's first minister mark drakeford. in england. —— wales's first minister mark dra keford. that in england. —— wales's first minister mark drakeford. that is something they're going be looking at. well, a three tier system that is going to be announced by the prime minister later is expected to see liverpool become the first area to go into those highest level of new restrictions. we were hearing in the briefing earlier from new restrictions. we were hearing in the briefing earlierfrom the scientific advisers that the bits are

the best of the dry weather across north—east england and scotland. temperatures peaking this afternoon perhaps 12 and 16 degrees. as we move through the evening, some of the showers across england and wales will start to ease away. winds swing round to a north—westerly and driving in some showers here to the north—west of the great glen. elsewhere, we get some clear skies, we could see temperatures getting down to into single figures. so we start off tomorrow, still with that brisk north—westerly wind, feeding showers into the north—west of scotland. elsewhere, largely dry, relatively sunny. but we will see cloud enhancing and some rain towards the end of the afternoon into the far south—west. but, again, temperatures perhaps peaking widely into the mid—teens. a pleasant day. as we move through the latter stages of wednesday into thursday, however, there is another spell of heavy rain expected to move its way across england and wales. the position of that rain still subject to change and particularly as we go from thursday into friday, yo

the ons did say that in the north—east of england there was evidence of england there was evidence ofa of england there was evidence of a slowdown and slight reduction in case numbers and a bigger gap with the north west and yorkshire and humber regions. but officials say overall things are going in the wrong direction and minutes of meetings of the governments sage advisory committee revealed a pessimistic mood. a paper in october to 1a from a gi’oup paper in october to 1a from a group tracking the spread of the virus said that in england the virus said that in england the number of daily deaths is 110w the number of daily deaths is now in line with the levels in the reasonable worst case and is almost certain to accede to this within the next few weeks. that worst—case scenarios 85,000 covid deaths over the winter. officials say government interventions can reduce that. policy makers around the uk are under increasing pressure to come up with a plan to allow families to meet at christmas the first minister in wales had a message for downing street. we need to share that informati
