Parts of england are facing tougher new covid restrictions. The city of nottingham, and some other parts of nottinghamshire, are moving into tier 3, the highest level of covid measures in england. The decision follows discussions between local leaders and the government. The measure will come into force on thursday, and well have full details of that in a moment. But as cases rise, hospitals are facing more pressure throughout the uk and nhs staff are having to juggle competing demands. As for hospital admissions, theyre nowhere near the peak in april, but they have been rising with 1,015 admitted to hospital on average every day in the week up to last monday. Our medical editor fergus walsh, cameraman adam walker and producer Nicki Stiastny were given extensive access to the royal victoria infirmary in newcastle, and this is what they found. The royal victoria infirmary is part of the fabric of life in newcastle. 15,000 staff work at the trust. Theyre always busier as winter approaches, but this will be the first with coronavirus. Weve got a very tired workforce. We know the beast that is covid pneumonia. Its devastating if you get a setback. For a couple of months in summer, there were no Covid Patients in intensive care now staff are back in full ppe. Covid continues to make people critically ill. It continues to make peoples organs fail. It continues to cause death. That is still a frightening prospect for many people out there. But patient numbers are half that compared to the first wave, and very few are on ventilators. To me, this feels very different from the peak in april. Doctors now know so much more about covid and how best to treat the disease. That means many more patients are surviving intensive care. We feel we can offer every patient the best possible opportunity to get through it based on some much firmer science that we can draw on now compared with april. Half the patients, like brian, are on clinical trials. The 62 year old is usually behind the bar at a local social club, then he got covid. Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. Ive had a traumatic few days. Welljust build our strength up, get better. They will get us better, i know that. Covid patients in intensive care are given remdesivir, an antiviral drug, plus medications to stop potentially fatal blood clots. They also get dexamethasone, a steroid. Trials in the uk showed it reduces the risk of dying by up to a third. Mohammed came to england from pakistan in the 505. A former bus driver, hes 87 and suffers confusion, so his daughter, who has also had covid, is allowed to stay with him. Very close to dying, he was, honestly. It was very, very scary. He lives with his son and grandchildren, his daughter is on the next street. Covid has swept through the extended family. Thank god. Hes going to thank god. Hes going to thank everybody thats helped him get home as well. The hospital is confident it can cope with coronavirus this winter and could expand its intensive care fivefold if needed. But the more covid there is, the greater the impact on other nonemergency care the hip replacements, eye operations and myriad of other conditions, and like everywhere else, patients are waiting longer. Weve got a really significant backlog. Cataracts and eye operations are a good example small, relatively simple procedures, but if you are an elderly, frail person isolating, fearful in covid times, then, you know, were pushing those patients into deeper anxiety. Weve got seven free covid itu beds. I think they are a bit tight on non covid itu beds. For now, they have some spare capacity, but its finely balanced, and social distancing means the hospital cant admit as many patients as before. A handful of theatres have had to be closed to free up nurses for intensive care. But surgery that was suspended in the first wave is taking place. Waiting around, wondering if you are going to get the operation. Kathleen shouldve had her thyroid operation in march. She feels fortunate its now happened. Its been a little bit tense waiting around, you know, thinking, am i going to get the operation, am i not . But now its happened. Im absolutely elated, its great. Around one million women in the uk missed out on breast screening in the first wave of coronavirus. The trust is determined to keep it going this time. And relax, well done. The hospital is very much open for business, and staff want to continue all services this winter. But so much depends on whether coronavirus can be kept under control. We will talk to fergus walsh in a moment. The latest government figures show there were 20,890 new Coronavirus Infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period. The average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is now 21,926. 102 deaths were reported, thats people who died within 28 days of a positive covid 19 test. That means on average in the past week 182 deaths were announced every day. It takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to 411,998. 0ur medical editor fergus walsh is here. You were telling us about the way they are having to juggle these competing demands and all the while, we are also looking at reports there is progress being made in the search for a vaccine. What is your overall picture tonight . I am struck at how much better prepared and equipped medical teams are now to deal with coronavirus than they were back in april. That is positive, and hospitals have plans in place to deal with a surge in covid cases and there are the nightingale hospitals. But there is only one set of staff and once they are dealing with covid cases, they cannot deal with non covert patience. If cases begin to rise they could cancel nonurgent surgery. To rise they could cancel nonurgent surgery. The astrazeneca team said there vaccine introduces a good, strong immune response in all adult age groups, including the over 70s come most at risk group. They say it isa come most at risk group. They say it is a key milestone but the evidence hasnt been published yet. Some parts of the nhs are working out the how and when they will immunise people with the vaccine, maybe before christmas. Front line Health Workers will be first in line, but thatis workers will be first in line, but that is speculative, the timing. 20,000 volunteers that is speculative, the timing. 20 , 000 volunteers have that is speculative, the timing. 20,000 volunteers have received the 0xford vaccine and because coronavirus levels are rising in the community, we should know sooner rather than later whether it works and is safe. But we have got to wait for the data. 0k, fergus, many thanks. Fergus walsh, a medical editor. As we heard, the city of nottingham and three other local Authority Areas in nottinghamshire are being moving into tier 3 the highest covid alert level in england, from thursday. The higher restrictions will affect up to 700,000 people. Its not yet been revealed how much government Financial Support the areas will get as part of the arrangement, as our correspondent sian lloyd reports. The latest english city to hear that the toughest level of restrictions are on their way. The number of cases, and particularly the rise in the over 65 age group, were key concerns in nottingham. Agreement was reached by leaders here and in the three local boroughs also affected late this afternoon. I dont think there was very much to argue about in terms of the money. The government made it very clear that we were going to get the amount per head of population that other areas got. 0ur discussions were very much about which things should close and which should remain open. The surge of covid cases in nottingham is affecting this family. Tilly doesnt have the virus, but a planned operation to remove her tonsils has been cancelled because the local nhs is under so much strain. I completely understand that the hospitals at the moment are at this capacity, but for my situation and for tilly, who is seven years old, you know, its really important for her to have her tonsils and adenoids taken out. Tilly was due to have surgery at the queens medical centre. The trust said today that the number of patients being treated for covid 19 across its two main hospital sites is now higher than in april, when cases were at their peak. Its why theyve had to postpone some surgery and is another key reason why nottingham has been moved into the tier 3 very high risk group. Two weeks ago, this city had the highest coronavirus rate in england. It has now dropped out of the list of top 20 hot spots, but that hasnt been enough to prevent further restrictions being imposed. If you drive by any pub here, theres loads of people not social distancing, so its their fault. Its our own fault. We need to just do it, buckle down, and lets get into a decent position for christmas so we can actually spend it with our family. Tier 3 isjust worse, its. It doesnt really give us anything. It feels like youre being locked up. There are Unanswered Questions tonight People Living here wont find out tomorrow exactly how theyll be affected by the new restrictions, which will last at least 28 days. Sian lloyd, bbc news, nottingham. And warrington is moving into tier 3 from tomorrow. The local authority will receive a financial package of almost £6 million to support businesses that have to close. These will include pubs without a food offering, betting shops and soft play centres. The Welsh Government says it will ensure retailers understand what can and cannot be sold during the 17 day temporary firebreak, following an apology from tesco in cardiff, where a customer was mistakenly prevented from buying sanitary products. Under the latest guidance for the duration of the new restrictions, all shops in wales which are allowed to remain open are not able to sell goods classed as nonessential. Borisjohnson has defended his refusal to extend Free School Meals vouchers for children in england over the half term holiday. But hes promised his government will do everything in its power to make sure no child goes hungry. Many councils are already providing meal vouchers, while hundreds of businesses are offering parcels to those in need. The latest available data indicates more than 1. 4 million children in england are eligible for Free School Meals, although campaigners say the current need means that figure is much higher. The estimated cost per week is more than £21 million. 0ur Political Correspondent alex forsyth reports. Im just collecting some apples for stewed apples in the morning for breakfast. This familys been finding alternative ways to stay fed. It might seem like a rural idyll, but it can be a real struggle. Their mum cant find work in the pandemic. She relies on universal credit and says Free School Meals are a lifeline that shes missing this half term. Its embarrassing to not be able to do the most basic cooking and things and provide your children and then have to go and ask for that help, and have that help debated, have that help discussed and have my decisions on my choices as a mother discussed. If it happened to me, it can happen to anybody. 0key cokey. The Prime Minister, despite growing pressure to offer food vouchers during the holidays, is holding firm on that front. But in berkshire today, promoting better hospital food, he didnt rule out more support. The way to deal with it, we think, is by increasing the Funds Available for universal credit. We put up by about a thousand a year. But also to put more into local councils. So we dont want to see children going hungry this winter, this christmas, certainly not as a result of any inattention by this government. Youre not going to see that. But without extra help this half term, some councils and businesses are stepping in. Wolverhamptons labour leader was delivering food parcels today. The government points to £63 million it gave englands local authorities this summer to help families facing hardship, but many say thats already been spent orfalls far short. Theres been no promise of further funding or any detail, just a suggestion there might be more support down the line, perhaps to avoid another damaging row before christmas. Of course, not everyone thinks the government should fund food during the holidays, but this campaign has got real traction and plenty here, including some tory mps, think that the government has just handled it badly. There is huge passion, desire, to actually see this system continue. Lets recognise that if the National Picture is such that they want to support this, that it would be churlish not to recognise that this is an avenue worth pursuing. In scotland, the government has introduced a scheme to fund meals during the holidays. Its the same in wales and northern ireland. In england, the campaigning continues, with coldplay the latest to weigh in. And with marcus rashford, the premier League Player who kick started this issue, determined to keep it prominent, the political pressure doesnt seem to be easing. Alex forsyth, bbc news. With just over a week to go before the us president ial election, more than 60 million americans have already taken advantage of early voting, breaking all records. This week, in a series of special reports from the key state of arizona, my colleague clive myrie will be looking at some of the issues preoccupying the voters as they make their choices. He starts this evening with illegal immigration and president trumps signature promise to build a wall along the border with mexico. The heavens were no barrier to american idealism. But, on earth, how best to protect what it means to be american . Is an impregnable barrier a good option . I think it says you can tear down the statue of liberty. I think it says we should close shop. A nation of settlers that, for some, is turning on outsiders. As america votes, immigration is high on the ballot. We talked to those who see Donald Trumps border wall as a betrayal of american ideals. Ijust see this on a daily basis. It sometimes just hits you. And those for whom there is no price too high to pay to protect all they hold dear. Are you prepared to use that . Oh, yeah, if it comes down to it, im coming home. Build the wall the biggest beneficiary maybe happens to be arizona. That wall, how good is the wall . It is the iconic idea of trumps america. And this. Cowboys and big skies, part of the iconography of america. All right, all right, guys, 0k. Bill mcdonalds ranch in arizona is just a few miles from the border with mexico. Illegal immigration and Drug Trafficking are live issues here, yet for him, a republican, billions spent on a border wall is a waste of money. People think, well, you build a wall, youve solved a problem. Theyve already got saws that cut through that wall. You can do it with technology and do it just as well. Its political, he made a promise, he was determined to keep it. He thought, if he kept it, hed get re elected. Its the only reason he does anything. Im not crazy about everybody that crosses the border, but im not crazy about everybody that already lives here either. I mean, there are good people and bad people in all stripes. It takes a few hours to sort the calves for sale, headed for oklahoma. Theyll never see their mothers again, but thats business. Activists say over 500 children remain separated from theirfamilies. Building a big wall was only part of the plan. Critics in congress and human Rights Groups claim migrants were being treated like cattle under Donald Trumps zero tolerance child separation policy to deter illegal migration. Eventually, his administration was forced to change course. But secure borders are a necessity. We saw drug cartel spotters across the wall in mexico, checking if the coast is clear to send over human mules. These ones went that way, so yesterday i followed these guys. Tim foley often spots them too, videoing the mules camouflaged with their backpacks of drugs. From his remote base in southern arizona, he leads a group of armed volunteers that patrols the border. Is the wall making America Great again . Its making it safer. Tim represents a strain of american patriotism donald trump tapped into, giving up everything he knew in San Francisco to come to arizona. Why are you involved . What is it about this situation that gets you angry . I didnt trust the government or the media to tell the actual truth of what was going on. Some apple sauce. But what is the truth . Theres another group of volunteers on the border. They are from a charity that leaves water and Food Supplies for people crossing overfrom mexico, Asylum Seekers fleeing persecution and migrant families with children reaching for a better life. It must be difficult. They also help families find relatives who have gone missing crossing the border. So what are the kinds of things that you come across on the trails . Many times we find remains, skeletal remains of border crossers. You know, evidence of a persons life. So you see wedding rings, love letters, a lot of rosaries, a lot of bibles. In this one area, the remains of 181 people have been found this year. You see young. Young people, old people, you see everybody. And you see their families. Their familiesjust reach out to us, desperately looking for their loved ones. Its an unimaginable pain and anguish. 0ften, gia and tims worlds collide, and there is one thing they both agree on. Whats the tattoo . One of the horsemen of the apocalypse. Its what i see is coming. Its. Its my view of the border. There is death all around. Donald trumps wall speaks to us all. We project on the barrier our own values. This election sees millions of americans casting their votes, in line with who they believe they really are. Clive myrie, bbc news, in southern arizona. 0ur north america editor, jon sopel, is at the white house. There, all happen in a week tomorrow, what is your reading of where this campaign is heading now . Well, there has been a certain tightening of the pills if you look at the sunshine where clive was reporting, florida, north carolina. I have seen another set of polls which suggestjoe biden is increasing his lead. If you look at the aggregate, which is a more reliable guide, they show that, for all the turbulence, for all the drama,joe all the turbulence, for all the drama, joe biden enjoys a lead nationally and a smaller lead in all the key swing states. That is to the immense frustration of donald trump, he was desperate to get off the subject of coronavirus and talk about other things. But there has been another outbreak in the white house, five members of the Vice President s staff have tested positive, and there are spikes of cases in some of the key swing states, making campaigning difficult for donald trump. Joe biden has done zero events today, almost as if the democrats are saying, lets do no last night he confused donald trump and called him george, so it seems that the democratic strategy is to play it safe until next week, and i hope that will take them across the finish line. Jon, many thanks again, jon sopel with the latest thoughts on the campaign in washington. A security worker has told the inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing that he did not fob off a member of the public who raised concerns about the attacker. Mohammed agha was warned about Salman Abedis conduct, minutes before he detonated a suicide bomb, killing 22 people. 0ur correspondent Judith Moritz reports. Terrorists, like all criminals, look at the world a little differently from you and me. This video is designed to teach security staff to spot possible terrorists. Where we see an iconic building or part of our history, they see a target to attack. It was part of the training for stewards at Manchester Arena. I do solemnly, sincerely. Mohammed agha was one of those stewards, but he doesnt remember watching the video. He does remember noticing salman abedi on the night of the bombing and admiring his trainers, but he wasnt suspicious of his rucksack. A member of the public who saw abedi was worried, though. This cctv shows the moment christopher wild went to raise the alarm by speaking to the 19 year old steward. Hes since said he doesnt want Mohammed Agha to be blamed but feels that was fobbed off. What do you recall he said to you . He said, theres a suspicious person sat behind you, hes got a backpack. What did you say to christopher wild when he drew his concern to your attention . I said to mr wild that ill have a look into it, you know, ill see what. Ill see what the situation is, basically. Did you fob christopher wild off . No. Mohammed agha said that he had to man the fire doors and thought his job would be in jeopardy if he left his post. He said he waved at his supervisor three times, but when he couldnt get his attention, he spoke to a colleague with a radio, thinking hed contact the control room. A few moments later, though, he said he saw salman abedi smiling as he walked into the crowd to detonate his bomb. The stewards at Manchester Arena are required to complete a training programme, but Mohammed Agha is said to have spent an average ofjust one minute and 20 seconds on each online module. Many people looking at what we have just explored together, may form the view that what you did was just cheat on your training, and im going to ask you a straight question did you cheat . No. 22 people were murdered in the explosion. Theirfamilies have been watching the inquiry unfold and have been visibly upset at some of the detail they are hearing. Judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. Nasa Scientists Say there could be even more water on the surface of the moon than previously thought. Hidden pockets of ice might cover the surface coin sized patches that may have gone without any sunlight for billions of years. The discovery could be a boost for plans to build a Permanent Base on the moon, as our science correspondent victoria gill explains. Were right where we wanted to be for station two. It looks like a great place. Half a century since humans set foot on its surface, weve mapped every boulder and crater. But a series of discoveries that nasa revealed today have shown that the moons surface has been hiding an abundant supply of water. One of the discoveries comes from a telescope onboard a modified boeing 747. By flying above much of the earths atmosphere, it has a clearer view of the solar system. This infrared telescope was able to detect the signature of water molecules on the lunar surface. In another simultaneously published discovery, researchers mapped shadowed areas called cold traps, where frozen water might be stored permanently. What these papers are telling us is that, actually, that the water could be trapped in slightly more easier to access areas that arent so hazardous. And this is really important, especially if we want to send crewed missions to the moon. And it gives us slightly more options in terms of where we can go and making sure that its safe for all those involved. To go farther, we must be able to sustain missions of greater distance and duration. These discoveries will be a boost for nasas plan to send the first woman and the next man to the moon by 202a. Because while the Apollo Missions already took humans there and back, future missions will aim to establish a base there as a gateway to explore the rest of the solar system. The next generation of crewed missions to the moon are going to have to be far more sustainable, so that means finding and learning to use natural resources, particularly water, thats already there. Plans to return to the moon are already in progress. But these discoveries raise the tantalising possibility that our natural satellite isntjust somewhere to visit but a place to stay. Victoria gill, bbc news. The Fashion Designer sir paul smith is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his clothing label. From opening his first small shop in nottingham in 1970 to trading in 70 countries, hes a stalwart of the fashion scene. But like the rest of the industry, his business has been hit hard by the pandemic. He met our arts editor, will gompertz, at a paul smith store that was closed at the time and talked about the challenges ahead. You can wear it, but theres always something, a little secret. I love that. Were sitting in the size of the original shop, which was three metres by three metres, only open fridays and saturdays, and the idea was just to earn a living. There was almost no fashion, really, in nottingham. Slowly, people from leicester and sheffield and derby,
