Hes done glastonbury, he supported black students now stormzy is starring in a video game. And coming up on bbc news. Wasps will be without 11 players for the premiership final due to coronavirus and isolation rules. Four of them would have been in their matchday squad. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Less than a month after he announced the job support scheme, the chancellor, rishi sunak, has had to announce a substantial revision. It follows intense pressure from businesses, especially those in tier two, who complained that though their income was hit hard they were not getting anything like enough help. Mr sunak said the updated scheme was now one of the most generous in the world. Labour said it was rushed out at the last minute. Under the revised version, employers will pay less and staff can work fewer hours and still be eligible for Government Support when it starts on november 1st. So what are the main changes . To qualify, employees will have to workjust a fifth or 20 of their normal hours but they will still take home about three quarters of their pay. And what about the employers . Now they will only have to top up 5 for those hours not worked. There are also cash grants for those in tier 2. If you are a business, you can claim up to £2,100 a month, if you are self employed then you could claim up to £3,750 for three months. The chancellor also confirmed that these business grants can be backdated to august, helping those that have been living under restrictions for weeks now. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. Limbo, not fully open, not com pletely limbo, not fully open, not completely closed. Thousands of firms, millions of us living under limited restrictions. Its no way to make ends meet so the government again stepping in with more cash to try to keep people in work. From the beginning, this government has provided unprecedented support to eve ryo ne provided unprecedented support to everyone in this country, support worth £200 billion. By making our job support scheme more generous for employers who can open safely but whom are struggling with the impact of restrictions on their business. Instead of employees working at least one third of their hours to qualify for support, they will now have to workjust one day per week. The dole queue in slough has already grown faster than in most parts of the country. There along with coventry and stoke on trent, friends and family wont be able to meet indoors or stay with each other u nless indoors or stay with each other unless they lived together from saturday. This fishmonger says his customers are spending less. A lot of people dont have a job and thats why my customers used to spend lots of money but now they spend lots of money but now they spend less every time they come, just for surviving. Rizwan has even had to shut some of his businesses down. We used to have ten different shops like in a different part of london and outer london and now we only have two. Its easy to see why the chancellor had to go back to parliament not even one month since the last big announcement of cash to top it up. For his critics though, ha rd to top it up. For his critics though, hard to see why he didnt see the scale of the problem to begin with. For months we have urged the chancellor to get ahead of the looming Unemployment Crisis and act to savejobs. Looming Unemployment Crisis and act to save jobs. Instead we have had a patchwork of poor ideas rushed out at the last minute. Especially surprising given only on tuesday the government was locked in a furious battle with leaders in the north west of england over £5 million. Now on thursday much more cash than that has appeared with some of it backdated too. I honestly was open mouthed when i read the headlines last night that there was going to be a support package because it was billed as for london and birmingham. It was a case of hello, we have been under restrictions for three months. Hello, we have been under restrictions for three monthsm hello, we have been under restrictions for three months. It is the third time since the chancellor has had to revise his plans. Why do you keep underestimating the hell people need 7 why do you keep underestimating the hell people need . As these restrictions have been put in place, the impact on the ground has been highly significant. We will adapt and evolve our response is the situation changes. Prime minister, you have been to war with leaders in the north of england, you are still leaving some workers on two thirds of their wages are telling them to claim benefits and cases of coronavirus keep rising. Is this really the kind of leadership you think the country deserves . Laura, i must strongly reject what you say about me being at war. We have had great conversations with local leaders, mayors and others, and everybody has come to the table, shown leadership, stepped up to the plate. Whatever he says, this has been a very bumpy week for the government, and even among tories the start of some doubts about the chancellor whose star had shone, and fears that ministers are not prepared yet to do enough for those facing hardship this winter. And with yet more of the country heading to tighter limits, a tough season for the government and the economy approaches with no certain way out. We will talk to laura in a moment. But first, how big an impact will todays announcement have . Both on the businesses that have been having such a tough time but also on the economy . 0ur economics editor faisal islam has been finding out. This pizza chain mainly operates in big cities now under tier 2 restrictions so it is not required to close. Things improved over the summer to close. Things improved over the summer but the withdrawal of the furlough scheme alongside new restrictions were stretching things. Here they welcome a full return for help with workers wages. We have seen help with workers wages. We have seen a help with workers wages. We have seen a drop in sales in general. You cannot go out in a way so new measures in place today will ensure jobs are secure and will keep as many people working with us. This is a significant increase in the taxpayers share of support in paying the wages of part time workers, taking it back towards the furlough scheme. It applies to Small Businesses and affected Large Businesses and affected Large Businesses across the uk, originally in the most generous support the taxpayer would fund just over a fifth of the wages and employers just over a half. Now workers will only have to work a fifth of their hours, employers will contribute a bit more than that, have the original plan, and the taxpayer slice doubles to just under half the wage. Workers will take home three quarters of their wage for working effectively one day per week. The chancellor came here to sell his revised multi billion pound plan to the hospitality industry. Who had said tier 2 restrictions were the worst of all worlds. Taken together, all of these measures will make a significant difference in support for peoples jobs and livelihoods through the winter. Does this show you got the judgment slightly wrong . You are trying to force the economy to adjust, to judge whetherjobs were viable, now we face a Similar Health crisis where people just need to be rescued and put food on the table . |j where people just need to be rescued and put food on the table . I have a lwa ys and put food on the table . I have always said we will adapt and evolve oui always said we will adapt and evolve our support as the held situation changes, and that is what we have happened. We have seen areas move into tier 2 restrictions and that is having a particular impact on hospitality businesses. Elsewhere, for example this new pub in birmingham, should get monthly gra nts birmingham, should get monthly grants backdated to the beginning of local restrictions but here they said the chancellor should have acted more quickly. It feels like an afterthought, and i have to say anyone, if they are saying they didnt expect the loss of trade to be so severe, it cant be anyone who understands the nature of hospitality. This isntjust about several extra billion for supporting the economy, it is an acknowledgement that chancellor original winter economic plan had big gaps. The basis of that was to encourage the economy to restructure for a new post covid normal that employers would consider the viability of individual workers jobs, now large swathes of the economy are back in survival mode. This should save thousands ofjobs, but few would rule out the plan having to be reheated again in the near future. Faisal islam, bbc news. Lets talk to laura at westminster. You said it has been a bumpy week for the government, what difference do you think these latest changes will make . This is more than a big chunk of change. The money that is being put out today will make a big difference to a lot of businesses having a hard time around the country and therefore it should make a big difference to the bank balance of workers. We should also say the government has spent an absolutely eye watering amount of money, borrowing billions which at some point, not now, but at some point, some day will have to be paid back. It isnt enough to wipe away the anxiety among the opposition and among some tories to nbn that it still doesnt go quite far enough, isnt quite radical enough really to confront the scale of what is going on here. And that nagging anxiety is starting to be talked about more publicly by some conservatives. We have seen the same over concerns about extending Free School Meals for children over the holiday this week, and you just get the concern around how much people may really struggle in terms of making ends is only going to grow. The way it has come about has also allowed the opposition to say the chancellor had to be pushed into this. It looks like hes acting at the last minute. You might think, well, he listened and changed his mind and that is a good thing, but the Political Risk is it leaves him open to the accusation hes playing catch up and not really understanding how hard things are for people right here, right now. Laura, thank you very much. The health secretary, matt hancock, has announced that stoke on trent, coventry and slough will all move into the high coronavirus alert level from saturday. Tens of millions of people more than half of england and scotlands populations, and all of wales and Northern Ireland are currently living under or set to move into stricter rules with all the knock on effects on their livelihoods. So, is the chancellors new plan enough for employees to keep paying the bills . Our Business Correspondent sarah corker has been speaking to workers in the north west to gauge their reaction.

Coming up on sportsday on bbc news a call to step up and take action on racist abuse online Raheem Stirling adds his voice, as a new survey shows almost half the premier league have been targeted. During the peak of the pandemic in the spring, it became clear that black and asian people were disproportionately affected by the coronavirus. Now, a unit set up by the government to look into the issue has found thart race alone does not explain the disparity. Other factors such as jobs and housing have to be ta ken into account. Our Community Affairs correspondent Adina Campbell has more. The Adina Campbell has more. Coronavirus pandemic hi life the coronavirus pandemic has had a life changing personal and professional impact on this man who has been taken off the front line is a Critical Care doctor in barnsley. Because of my age, ethnic minority, made existing medical problems, i am in the high risk so from september i stopped working in intensive care unit because my risk for a covid is extremely high. His big brother peter who was also a doctor died after catching the virus earlier this year. Black and asian people are twice as likely to be infected by coronavirus compared to white people and end up in intensive care. From Previous Research we know there area number of from Previous Research we know there are a number of reasons why people from ethnic minorities are more at risk. They are more likely live in poorer areas in shared housing and be in high risk jobs poorer areas in shared housing and be in high riskjobs but one of the government purse like new Health Advisor says focusing on ethnicity is not the right approach to help save lives and instead everyone should have a risk assessment. He also believes racism is not an issue. What we have found is that south asians and black people have lower overall mortality and have better Life Expectancy so i do not think that is enough evidence to suggest Structural Racism is a factor. The government says it has outlined a number of measures to protect people at a greater risk of death or illness. How do you hope this report will reassure those communities . There is no package thatis communities . There is no package that isjust for communities . There is no package that is just for black or asian people or anything like that. We are doing this across the population for those people we believe are vulnerable, where we see people feel they do not have to study are being left behind we have a responsibility to show they are not being left behind and as a black woman that is something i have personally taken an interest in. This is my late brother and myself in a very nice restau ra nt. And myself in a very nice restaurant. With so many families coping with loss and the risks facing some communities the uncertainty of this pandemic will continue to cast a shadow going into the winter months. Adina campbell, bbc news. A number of holiday destinations have been added to the governments list of travel corridors, meaning people arriving in the uk from those places after 4am sunday morning do not have to isolate for 1h days. Those areas include spains ca nary islands, the greek island of mykonos, denmark and the maldives. Undignified and inhumane thats the damning conclusion of a report by the care regulator in england into provisions in hospitals for people with learning disabilities and autism. The government, which commissioned the report, says its findings are deeply concerning. 0ur social Affairs Correspondent alison holt reports. Through a hatch in the door of a bare seclusion room, bethany is reaching out to hold her fathers hand. Shes a teenager with autism and learning disabilities. For nearly three years she was segregated from others in the long stay hospitals because her behaviour was said to be so challenging. This is bethany now. Shes thriving, living in her own flat with services built around her. Her case led to todays report. Her dad who had to fight to get her moved says hospital was always wrong for her. The noise in those places, with alarms going off, with people screaming, with doors constantly slamming, they are not therapeutic at all. Somebody like beth with her sensory needs is never going to get better in an environment like that. Abuse scandals from winterbourne view in 2011 to wharton hall last year exposed by undercover bbc filming have led to many promises of change, but government deadlines to close all such institutions have been missed. This latest report found staff often lack training, and that too much care was poor. In some places, patients were restrained on a daily basis. And people have been secluded or segregated, some in rooms like this, for times ranging from two days to 13 years. Ryan was seven and a half, eight years old. Sharons son ryan has autism. This one was taken when he was about 20. Hes now 31 and has spent most of the past 1a years in hospitals. These photos are from a family trip out last saturday. The next day, back on the unit, he was put in seclusion again. Its a downright disgrace that in the 21st century we are treating people, locking people away. Ijust couldnt believe it. And the politicians really need to get their act together and sort this problem out. Its horrendous. The government describes the report findings as deeply concerning, but says its taking action and investing in the sort of Community Services that have transformed betha nys life.

After donald trump interrupted his rival 72 times in the first clash, new rules have been put in place. 0ur north america editorjon sopel is in nashville for us now. I wonder who has most to gain from this debate. As you say, this is the last big set piece before polling day in 12 days. Every network is carrying it live. The tv audience will be huge and the stakes are high but arguably highest for donald trump who is behind in the polls and in football terms donald trump needs to score a big win tonight and joe biden will be content to play out a dreary 0 0 draw. I would expect donald trump to go on the attack from the off particularly aboutjoe bidens suns Business ActivitiesWhenjoe Biden was vice president. The first topic for discussion will be covid. 220 plus thousand american deaths, levels of Coronavirus Infections rising steeply in america, so donald trump will be on the defensive there. New rules. They will be a mute button so when donald trump is speaking orjoe biden is speaking they will be able to mute them. Doesnt mean there will be less heat tonight . Not a chance. Thank you. Hes one of the biggest stars in the uks Music Industry and now, after conquering the charts and headlining at glastonbury, stormzy is taking on a new challenge. Hes starring in a video game set in a very different virtual version of london. Marc cieslak, who reports for the bbcs Technology Programme click, sat down with the artist to talk grime and games. Multi awa rd winning rapper stormzys new single rainfall has a video with a bit of a difference. It features the croydon born musician as a video Game Character performing inside an actual game, the soon to be released watch dogs legion. Set in a dystopian near future london, players encounter stormy on one of the games missions. The game revolves around recruiting any of the thousands of characters the player meets and forming a movement which will bring down a fictional authoritarian regime which is still in power. The themes of protest and the power of the individual to start change certainly resonate in todays climate. Its very reflective of the times and we as people need to be coming together, do you know what i mean . I kind of think they capture that perfectly in the sense of, like, your everyday person being more important than they probably realise. The rappers appearance in this title highlights that games will now often act as a reflection of things going on in the real world, encouraging new audiences to think about global events. There is a long history of music being used for protest and to provoke. Do you think that video games have the power to do that as well . Whatever mediums we use as creators and artists it is a platform, yeah, to speak out against injustice, to be pillars of truth and whatnot. Away from his music career, stormzy announced this year hes funding a £10 million anti racism foundation. This as well as establishing a bursary to pay for a full scholarship for two black uk students to attend cambridge university. Its always been an uneven Playing Field in many areas of society. If things were just fair and it was level playing then there would be no need for it. I feel like people just have to open their eyes a bit, you know, to why im doing these things and why there are so many other public figures doing these things to try and lift those who need it a bit more. From south london grime star to glastonbury headliners, stormzy has found in the world of gaming a place to spread his message. Mark cieslak, bbc news. People in a fishing town in ireland have been carrying out an extensive search for a dolphin, whos lived in the area for 37 years. Fungie, as he was known, arrived in Dingle Harbour in the 805, and a Tourism Industry in the town has built up around the Famous Dolphin. But now hes missing. 0ur ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. It was the towns lighthouse keeper who was first to spot a solitary dolphin at the mouth of Dingle Harbour in 1983. No one knows more about that dolphin than i do. For i cant tell you times without i seeing him, hes there, for i know no other. In the years that followed fungie became a major draw for tourists as people flocked to see the friendly dolphin, who seemed to enjoy the interaction. The boats were initially small fishing boats then they developed and bought new vessels and invested heavily and fungie has been a huge boost and a vital part of the tourism. There are whole generations that have grown up and all they ever knew was that he lived in the harbour and so generous and so playful. For that to be gone its like a light hasjust gone out. Since his disappearance a week ago, the town has taken part in a full scale search with boats, divers and sonar, but without success. He was still totally wild, so the only thing he ever got out of this was the company and now hes just off again and the choice was always his. There are various theories as to why he has now vanished as mysteriously as he came but people say they will continue to hope fungie is out there somewhere. Where did you come from . Where were you born . The ocean wild. Emma vardy, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather heres darren bett.
