let's switch from the uk to italy. it was the first country in the world to impose a national lockdown. now it's infection rate is considerably lower than many other countries in europe. 230 in france and 330 in spain. our rome correspondent mark lowen looks at what italy is doing right. too young to grasp how their world has changed and how they too are part of the battle. a new initiative by italy to ease the pain of generation covid with drive—through testing for children. rapid negative results allow them back to school, a tool by the once global epicentre now a pioneer of covid recovery. we suffered a lot. for lockdown, we had many problems for the kids, so if the family are happy and the children can have a normal life, iam happy. italy was the first western country crushed by the virus. almost 36,000 have died. but now, la dolce vita is returning. cases are among europe's lowest. italy taking safety as seriously as its food, with screens, disposable menus and contact tracing. now i have to go in england, i hav

about post brexit uk that a re reflected in government about post brexit uk that are reflected in its internal market bill. so, we have had trade negotiations going on here in brussels all week with some positive noises coming out of the uk that there could be some solutions being found to the tricky sticking points, not confirmed here. russell still hopes the deal will be done but at this late stage, george, it is all about finding compromises. thank you. new figures reveal more than 1,900 migrants reached the uk by boat in september alone — that's more than in the whole of last year. now ministers are understood to be considering plans to house asylum seekers on disused ferries moored off the british coast, while their claims are assessed. our home editor mark easton has more. a combination of the pandemic and the arrival of thousands of migrants in dinghies this summer has put so much pressure on the home office asylum system that civil servants and ministers have been considering housing some offshore. a recent government brainstorming session included discussion on whether it w

temperatures in the northern half of the uk around ten to 12 celsius, for the uk around ten to 12 celsius, for the south 1a perhaps 16 for the warmest spots. but yesterday we were up warmest spots. but yesterday we were up to 19 celsius, such as turning a bit cooler now. losing the rain from the south—east tonight, so tonight some clear spells for southern and eastern parts, but more heavy showers rattling in across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england as well. so shower here from the word go to start saturday morning. it's fairly similar to what we have out there today tomorrow in that we have high pressure to the west, low pressure to the east. again the breeze coming in from quite a cool north—westerly direction, quite a lot of isobars on the map as you can see as well. after a choice that in the south, some sunshine for the morning, there will be more showers working in through the day. some of these showers, if you do catch one, could be heavy and thundery once again. some hill mixed in, but some sunshine in between the showers as well. temperatures and weigh around 1

it's about uk history. launched back in the 1980s, over seven days, it was a chance to educate and inform people about black history, which wasn't being taught in our schools. the black cultural archives in brixton, south london, holds a treasure trove of research and information, stemming back some 2000 years. there's a lot more that needs to be done to understand that black history is not confined to a month, it's not confined to particular periods, especially of recent history in britain, but there's this influence and contribution, you know, stretching back thousands of years. the month of october isn't about creating a separate history, it's simply about remembering a history that already exists. i drown it out with music, screaming at how often i scrape its breath into my palm and will it to beat slower. tolu is a poet, and today, a collection of her works will be published as part of the 20 in 2020 campaign. i mean, if we look at the history of the uk, black people in particular have played a particu

after months and months of eu and uk negotiations shuffling back and uk negotiations shuffling back and forwards. many are fed up. the key sticking points still in talks, the rights of eu fishermen to fish waters after brexit, competition regulations, the level playing field and how disputes should be resolved if the trade deal is agreed. they have said today that the uk chief negotiator would head to london to launch its last ditch talks. but this evening, the government said no, as things stand, there is no point. both sides are now probably get each other in gnash their teeth. so, is this the end of the road or political posturing before difficult compromises are reached ? political posturing before difficult compromises are reached? concessions are needed for but the government and the eu if a deal is to be found and the eu if a deal is to be found and for those who believe this deal is the right way forward, tonight feels like a case of so near and yet so far. u nless unless they're willing to change the position. instead, the pair agreed to speak early next week. philippe lamberts

and this idea of divisions within the uk, is proving to bea divisions within the uk, is proving to be a very divisive fire is the way it's attacking different parts of society in different ways. and we are really seeing that this week with regional leaders like andy burnham and national leaders at loggerheads with west minister again and again. it's interesting that it didn't feel this way in march and april, did it was my daisy, let's look at the guardian obviously it hasn't had time on this addition to update the government with high noon ultimatum. it talks about england going it alone. as jack said there, we are going it alone. as jack said there, we a re really going it alone. as jack said there, we are really looking at a fascinating contest from in power in the uk between the central government and mayors as you mention andy burnham. just wondering, if borisjohnson doesn't pose these tier 3 lockdowns on manchester who would enforce it? that's the problem. who would enforce it, who would care, what with the penalties be? i really agree with what jack was saying about the regions

who donate and support us, people in the uk care andi support us, people in the uk care and i know the people in the uk don't care less than people in front so why do we take so many fewer refugees? why can't we take some? we do take huge numbers, we do give homes and safe passage to some people in need but the point is that people in need but the point is that people don't arrive in the uk in the first place. unless there is some kind of uk white agreement, they should not be coming here at all. know, we don't actually take huge numbers of refugees, no matter what table you look at, the uk is pretty far down. at the ones that do try to come to the uk normally have a strong reason because they wouldn't, these are ordinary people, normal families. white honour -- why are they not staying in france and claiming asylum there? the reasons tend to be either because they have family ties to the uk, because they are such a strong bond, especially when you have been through something as traumatic as war or persecution, sometimes it is due to language or other factors but there is always a real

something the uk government almost never does. it does a quarter of the amount of state aid compared to germany. it wants to be able to pour money into high—tech. hopefully we'll talk about this story later. 0n environmental stuff. get a global and competitive advantage in some industries that suit uk priorities. they will point out that you signed up to this in the political declaration of human skull, so you have already signed a document saying you're going to do it, so that is the biggest sticking points, i think. now the part of the programme where we talk about the stories that may not have had a lot of coverage but you think we should know more about. analisa, do you want to talk about the opportunities to report during the pandemic. i think we have lost analisa's sound. stefanie, you also want to talk about this but in a different context? i picked up a story from the netherlands where the public broadcaster this week has announced they will actually take off all the letters or the writing on their vehicles. so if report

the uk is playing its part. the principle is that people should claim asylum in the first safe country they arrive at, and thatis safe country they arrive at, and that is generally not the uk. there is not a reason for people to make this highly dangerous crossing, where they are putting their lives at risk. usa this morning it is not at risk. usa this morning it is not a failure of policy that if people are dying in the channel, it is a failure of policy. —— you say. are dying in the channel, it is a failure of policy. -- you say. it is about criminal gangs extorting money. i understand the priority is to stop people but surely it should be to stop deaths as well. it is about stopping them coming on the crossing. if they do set sail, it is about making sure they are intercepted and put to safety. that is what the uk and france has been working on. there have been 3000 such journeys intercepted this year and we have been increasing our activity with france, in particular, since the summer because we need to

the uk is well positioned. when, realistically, can people expect to be offered vaccinations in the uk? well, if the first two vaccines or either of them showed they are both safe and effective, i think there is a possibility vaccine roll—out will start this side of christmas. but otherwise, i think it is more realistic to expect it to be early next year. and who would be given them first as a priority? that isa given them first as a priority? that is a matter for the given them first as a priority? that is a matterfor the department given them first as a priority? that is a matter for the department of health, who works with an expert committee which are thejoint committee on vaccination immunisations and they advise the government and priorities. who should get it first. and they have put on their website their initial advice for prioritisation, in the absence of the final clinical data so that advice may change, but they had prioritised care home residents in care home workers, front line health care worke

notjust within each of the four uk nations, but also necessary between the four uk nations needs to be considered here too and is being considered here too. meanwhile at stormont, first minister, arlene foster announced the tightening of coronavirus restrictions in northern ireland including extending the school half term break to a fortnight. talks ran into the early hours of wednesday as ministers tried to reach a compromise on a range of measures, finally agreeing to a package that will apply for four weeks. as well as the extended school closure the new rules include the closure of the hospitality sector, apart from deliveries and takeaways no alcohol sales after 8pm, an end to most indoor sport and the closure of hairdressers and beauty parlours. we fully appreciate that this will be a difficult and worrying news for a lot of people. the executive has taken this decision because it is necessary and we discuss the impact in great detail and we do not take this step lightly. we want these measures to have two impacts. firstly, on the covid—19 transmission rate which must be turned

and now some news from the uk. there have been almost 800 excess deaths in those dying below the age of 65 from heart and circulatory diseases since the covid—19 pandemic began according to an analysis by the british heart foundation. the charity says that delays in people seeking care, coupled with a reduced access to routine tests and treatment during the pandemic, have likely contributed to the rise in excess deaths. covid-19 has covid—19 has created a perfect storm for heart and circulatory patients. we know that having heart and circulatory disease, all its risk factors, obesity, diabetes, hypertension is itself a risk of the more severe covid—19 illness and death. but this new data and analysis show that patients are dying in excess of expected with heart and signatory disease itself unrelated to covid-19. for that story and more, breakfast is coming up at six. this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: europe is clamping down on coronavirus, with a night—time curfew in paris and early closing for

low pressure again up to the northwest of the uk. pretty brisk winds on sunday, not quite as windy and it would have been on saturday. some swells of sunshine and showers as well and the most frequent and plentiful across the western areas. i think we will also see quite a few run again across the english channel coast. as i mentioned it will be windy, strongest winds across the west of scotland. these are the average wind speeds. quite a cool feel as well, with temperatures between 11 and 14 degrees. we head into the new working week, low pressure still with us. it will lose some of its intensity as we go into the monday. the winds will ease a little but still some showers and rain around. and it is looking like a very unsettled week ahead. that is it from me for now. enjoy your weekend. this is bbc news — i'm samantha simmonds — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. sudan is to normalise diplomatic relations with israel — the third arab state to do so in two months. as coronavirus infections su

so, i do hope the uk will not choose to go this way. you make it sound as if it is a very strange aberration. but it was considered by the eu in 2018 and i think, i believe, proposed in 2003 by tony blair for discussion at the european council. so, are there any other countries or states who actually have considered that model? i do not know of any that have been able to implement it. which also speaks to the fact that aside from what we want to say in terms of its impact on the people who eventually are put to the system, it is clearly not an easy one to manage and so, i think it is indicative by itself. what the european union had in mind, i understand was somewhat different from the entire off shoring. to the lords now, where opposition peers are trying to change brexit legislation to require the government to assess the impact of its immigration policies on the social care sector. social care workers have been excluded from the fast track visa scheme for nhs and care workers. the government wants care homes to look to the uk workfor

borisjohnson, battle going on in the uk, in government. boris johnson, as battle going on in the uk, in government. borisjohnson, as we all know, is wanting to cling on firmly to his tiered regional approach which we have seen in other european countries too. the idea being why would you lock down in cornwall in the south—west of england which has far fewer cases than the north—east of england, and the same with east anglia. it's to blunt an instrument he said, too brutal, and get little in the last sort of day or so we have seen the sort of battles between probably the health secretary and the prime minister, the health secretary looking at the figures that have come out in the la st figures that have come out in the last dose of 36 hours, and modelling that shows the rate of increase in infection rates in parts of england are going at a faster rate than even the worst—case scenario. the caveat that, that is without any further government action. now, ironically, there was over the discussion of a potential national lockdown. boris

this is from cheryl, who is an american living in the uk. donald trump as being irresponsible but to blast it is totally disgusting. the uk government in its irresponsibility over covid—19 is no different, the most appalling decision by this government is how care homes were dealt with in sending covid—19 patients back to care homes when we all knew and were told its patients back to care homes when we all knew and were told it's mostly the elderly who are affected by covid—19. emma in west sussex says hello, trump has access to all and any treatments. he is lucky, if he's only suffered a short, mild illness but this is not the case for everyone. my husband and i have suffered with long covid and we would not wish it on anyone. we still had the teak —— chest tightness, we were fed, no underlying conditions, in our 40s but we are very afraid of getting it again. rob says i agree with trump, simple washing and distance advice as he did we need to get out and get on with life. as a 70—year—old i have never missed a day outdoors an

downing street says trade talks between the eu and uk are over. borisjohnson says the uk must prepare for a no—deal trade relationship at the end of the year. the coronavirus pandemic has pushed the care system for older and disabled people even closer to the edge, according to regulators. the care quality commission says some care homes may go out of business, and the need for investment and reform is now urgent. our social affairs correspondent, alison holt has been explaning the struggles in the sector. this is part of the cqc's annual look at how the health and care system is going. it praises the professionalism of staff during a pandemic, but says existing inequality has been magnified by these pressures. on adult social care, it says it was fragile before covid, but the underlying problems of the need for long—term reform, better investment and the difficulties of recruiting and keeping staff, have just been exacerbated in recent months. the government has put extra money into the care system, but the report says those providing service

in 2019, the uk exported £300 billion of goods and services to the eu — about 43% of all uk exports — and it imported £372 billion from the eu, about 51% of all imports. that share of overall uk trade taken up by the eu has fallen over the last 20 years, but it's still by far the uk's largest, and of course closest, trading partner. by september, it was more than clear what the main sticking points were, preventing the emergence of even a basic trade deal — state aid or government subsidies for business, fisheries and governance, how to police any deal in the future. and then the stakes were raised. on september seventh, borisjohnson set a deadline of october 15th for reaching a deal orfocusing on no deal. on september eighth, the government published its internal market bill, which it admitted would break international law by overriding agreements about northern ireland in the brexit divorce deal. and on september 23rd, the government announced lorry drivers would need a permit to enter kent after the transition period ends, and warned of a worst—case scenario of queues of 7000

but outside of a customs union, which the uk government doesn't wa nt to which the uk government doesn't want to be in, you have to prove that you can justify having continued tariff treatment. but it's a com pletely treatment. but it's a completely different situation for a lot of manufacturers in the auto industry, a lot of their cars are actually built with parts from the rest of the world and that makes it much more difficult to actually get the tariff free trade they want. the eu, as expected, is taking legal action against the uk over the breaking of the brexit deal, or at least one or two likely elements of it stop does that bother you at all? if not an academic exercise, it is clearly one which is going to go on way beyond a deal being done or not? yes, it is bringing us into more of the litigation phase, so to speak. i think it depends on what happens with a trade deal. it is important to know that the infringement proceedings that the european commission started against the uk, that happens fairly regularly, even against eu states, which is —— and still bound by eu law. the

much of the uk fares poorly on that measure. a new study looks at the numbers between february and may and finds there was no overall covid impact in this list of european countries. in others, the virus only had a low impact. there was a medium impact in france, the netherlands and sweden, and a high impact in belgium, italy, spain, england with wales and scotland. the health system pivoting to focus almost entirely on covid—19 in that first wave will have had impacts on mortality for patients with other chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease and dementia. but what is also true is that the full effects of that will not be felt until six, 12 months and even years down the line. british hospitals are far from alone in considering cuts in routine medical work. in the czech republic, some general hospital wards are being converted by builders into covid—19 departments. hugh pym, bbc news. in france, president macron has announced a state of emergency to try control the rapid spread of coronavirus. people have been tol

this is where the uk. this is all uk deaths over five yea rs, uk. this is all uk deaths over five years, the average for each month, you see it start the quite high and then falls away. let us look at what has been happening so far this year. you see it tracks the average but then this very sharp spike in april and may. the red area there is covid—19 deaths and the blue area or their excess deaths, possibly linked to covid because people were not seeking hospital treatment were not getting it and then it falls back towards the five year average and has now picked up a bit in the last few weeks going up to october the 16th, that red area, the access all covid deaths, 6% above the five year average but still way short of that pic back in april or may. thank you. you pin there. secondary school attendance in england has fallen further due to covid—19, down from 87% to 83%. and there is growing evidence the picture is far worse in many areas in the north of the country. a coalition of business and council leaders in the north of england says the gov

and what the uk government wants to do is... what's weird is, the uk is seemingly prepared to sacrifice a free trade deal on the altar of state aid, something the uk government almost never does. it does a quarter of the amount of state aid that germany does. but the uk wants to be able to pour money into high—tech. hopefully, we'll talk about this story later. on environmental stuff. get a global and competitive advantage in some industries. something that suits uk skills and priorities. that is something the eu is worried about. they will point out that you signed up to this in the political declaration of human rights, so you have already signed a document saying you're going to do it, so that is the biggest sticking point, ithink. now the part of the programme where we talk on the stories that may not have had a lot of coverage but they think we should know more about. analisa, do you want because of? talking about the opportunities to report during the pandemic. i think we have lost analisa's sound. stefanie, you also wan

much was made of the us uk trade deal. boris and president trump seem to have relations but ifjoe biden comes and that could also change the whole dynamic between the us and uk governments. that is right. i think that the us uk trade deal is actually on hold at the moment. it is not at the forefront of their minds of leaders and government at the moment, obviously. it is the election and it will depend on who emerges victorious from that election. trump has promised a uk deal but there had been some reservations on behalf of his administration and he will also be looking still to see the kind of economic deals that he can cut in other parts of the world. sol economic deals that he can cut in other parts of the world. so i would not imagine that the trade deal with the british is going to be top of the british is going to be top of the priority list of either the biden administration or trump mark two. can ijust quickly coming on this because this applies to all governments. all departments, civil serva nts governments. all

the uk targeted putin allies. what has he been saying? saying that the uk government has indeed been targeting putin allies, and as we know it re ce ntly left putin allies, and as we know it recently left his cabinet secretary and much freer now to pick about certain things like this. we know that there have been serious tensions between the uk and russian governments particularly in light of the poisoning of alexi recently on an internal flight from siberia. recovering for a period of time in a german hospital in berlin, and has vowed to go back to russia to continue his fight against the regime. but also we had the attempted poisoning of sergey in salisbury that led to the innocent death of a british lady, and we had the murder of alexander litvinenko. the government is going to try to clamp down on russia can we have the mh 17 debacle when sobhi people lost their lives when a rocket was, a plane was shot out of the sky and it was alleged to have been russian involvement in that. let's move onto a very british story in the daily telegra

we'll come to the uk and how that might happen in a minute. but i just want to drill down now further into what you were saying earlier about how you see china and asian economies in particular weathering this storm much better than anglo—saxon economies. you said something very controversial at the beginning of this crisis back in march when you were commenting on what you thought was a very fast, aggressive and effective chinese response — and of course, they were hit first by corona... yeah. you said, "thank god this didn't start somewhere "like india, because there's absolutely no way the quality "of indian governance could move and react "in the same way the chinese have done." you appeared to be saying that authoritarians do it better. deeply sort of centralised, authoritarian systems, according to that quote, would appear to be your solution. he laughs it's rather unfortunate how those comments came over and, to some degree, i should have expressed it a little bit more carefully. i don't think it's quite as black and white as how yo

the uk the uk prime minister and the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen will hold a video call later to try and break the deadlock over a brexit trade deal. borisjohnson said the chances of getting a deal are ‘very good' if both sides ‘exercise some common sense'. the eighth and final round of trade talks broke up yesterday without agreement with disagreements remaining overfishing rights and state aid. our correspondent nick beake is following developments from brussels. we keep hearing willingness on both sides to get a deal and time are getting tighter but this week, the eu has effectively sued the uk over internal markets bill. there is a lot of tension and there is no doubt the european side are extremely frustrated with that legislation which would break the withdrawal agreement signed just last year but at the same time, there has some progress in the past week or so particularly on the issue of state aid and whether the uk can give substantial subsidies to british companies after the transition period ends at the end of this year. there are signifi

i think that the us—uk trade deal is actually on hold at the moment. it's not what is in the forefront of the minds of the leaders and government at the moment, obviously, it is the election. and then it will depend on who emerges victorious from that election. trump has promised a uk deal, but there have been some reservations on behalf of his administration, and he will also be looking still to see the kind of economic deals he can cut in other parts of the world. so i wouldn't imagine that the trade deal with the british is going to be top of the priority list of either a biden administration or trump mark can ijust quickly bring in hugh on this as well? because this applies to all governments, all government departments, the civil service, the people behind the scenes have been drawn into covid, haven't they, from other departments? so is it likely that time on brexit and other matters would have been squeezed? i think so. this domestic crisis for the uk, covid—i9, is the biggest that's been seen in generations for any government, then you've got

she has him on the daily telegraph and many of the uk paper is in the front page. shaanxi has carried out her first public engagement outside of a royal residence in seven months, that's quite extraordinary actually. many people will block on the side of her out and about and will wonder why she's not wearing a mask but we are assured this was a secure area and all the people there have been tested and all tested negative. she was there with other members of the royal family was there with other members of the royalfamily for the was there with other members of the royal family for the day and good to see her out there. trust you just but she was not wearing a mask of a very well ventilated. but again i'm sure it will add coverage as so many people. she was at she, she was meeting scientists of the defence rides technology laboratories. thank you so much, jon and kate. we will be back with you for the next edition of the papers we will have more time to go through them at a little bit more detail. for the time being as always is lovely to see you and we will see yo

it is a critical part, in my view, of the uk's current creative economy. it includes individuals making significant money, they will be individuals in the uk that people will know from people who have built their brands and personality and business on youtube as a platform but there will be also people who set out as businesses. if i think, in the uk, grm daily began as grime daily. the holy grail a black british music. started by two young guys who have a passion for a particular genre of british music and have build themselves into what is today the heartbeat of british youth culture. or at a completely different audience, global cycling network, another example of a channel begun by two guys around the kitchen table, this time in bath, which isjust around people's obsession with cycling and lycra and everything else that comes with that is. but right across the uk, what youtube does is it means, in real contrast to the traditional media industries where, largely speaking, there are gatekeepers, people you have to know or get past to make a successful ca

so low pressure to the northwest of the uk. this is where we'll see the strongest of the winds, lots of showers rattling in off the atlantic, most of them affecting western scotland, northern ireland, some longer spells of rain here, and plenty of showers across southern and western portions of england and wales, especially across the south of england, with some heavy, maybe thundery ones here. best of the sunshine across eastern areas. these are the mean wind speeds. we could see gusts touching 50 miles an hour, particularly for western scotland. and it's going to feel a bit cooler this afternoon than it did yesterday, 10 to 1a celsius. monday, another showery, fairly breezy day. i think most the showers will become confined to the southern half of the country into the afternoon, perhaps something a little bit dry and less windy across scotland. but those temperatures ranging, again, from 10 to 13 celsius. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... more pressure on the uk government as thousands of doctors back the footballer ma

of course borisjohnson wasn‘t there — the uk left the eu earlier this year. among the 27, ireland and the netherlands — who we heard from just now — are considered fairly sympathetic to the uk‘s position. other leaders are taking a harder line. this deal cannot be made at any price. if the conditions are not met, it is possible that we will not have a deal. we are prepared for that. paris is ready. we‘ll hear more from mr macron in a moment. first let‘s look at how we got here. today‘s summit is just one milestone in a long process. the bbc‘s reality check team has pulled together this timeline.the current phase began almost a year ago — in december 2019 when, after months of parliamentary deadlock, borisjohnson won a huge majority with the electoral slogan ‘get brexit done.‘ little more than a month later — on january 31st this year the uk was out — out of the eu and its political institutions, but straight into a transition period where all the rules and regulations stayed the same. talks on a future trading relationship with the eu
