Transcripts For BBCNEWS Breakfast 20200921

I am in the north east and venues like this one could be facing a 10pm lock up. What does it mean for businesses already on the brink . Theres a new major champion in the world of golf. The american Bryson Dechambeau powers his way through a stunning final round to win the us open in new york. Theyve gone from talent show contestants to global super stardom, now little mix are on the look out for the next big thing. Some big weather and wardrobe changes this week as we go from some warmth to the reps of autumn later as wind and rain arrived. All the details on breakfast. Its monday the 21st of september. Our top story the governments plans to curb spiralling coronavirus cases will be laid out in a live address to the nation later this morning. Professor chris whitty, the uks chief health advisor, will warn that we are at a critical point in the pandemic and face a very challenging winter. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. Ifi if i could ask professor whitty. Chris whitty and patrick balance with an mainstays of the press conferences when the virus was at its peak. So you would assume that their briefing this morning the latest data wont convey good news. Professor whitty is likely to say uk is going the wrong direction and a very challenging winter lies ahead. Yesterday afternoon, was spent behind downing streets black door. Poring over information with the Prime Minister himself. What has been concerning those behind number ten is there could be as it did that significant rise in deaths from covid i9 by next month and unless further action is taken. Ministers agreed this should not be a full National Lockdown but there are tensions around the cabinet table over precisely which more limited measures to take, and not very far from downing street, people say they are simply looking for clarity. From downing street, people say they are simply looking for claritylj think something has to be done because you do hear a lot of people actually disobeying the rules and it is affecting everyone and a wake up call is good. Anything that can be taken to stop people doing silly things when they need to be at home, being smart and protecting people, so being smart and protecting people, so be it. You could say look, the rule of six is as simple as you can get but there are so many anomalies, you can understand why people dont quite know what is going on and then finding somebody £1000 when it should be could be a very legitimate reason they dont understand. The only way this is ever going to work is if you get the public on your side. Keeping people on site could be a challenge for the government because it does seem likely that restrictions in areas of local lockdowns, particularly on the leisure industry, could be extended temporarily across england. But the governments options havent yet come firm decisions. Iain watson, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent Jessica Parker is in westminster. Jess, what is the government hoping to achieve with this briefing . I think they have been issuing these are stern warnings over the last few days to try and get people to stick to the rules and the choice now is stick to those stern warnings and hope that does the trick or actually carry them out. I think in terms of what the government is going to do Going Forward, schools, keeping them open, remains a priority. And the economy as well to but as iain was just reporting, it doesnt seem like they could be some nationwide restrictions across england Going Forward , restrictions across england Going Forward, perhaps in the leisure industry, temporary though they may be. I think today what we will hear isa be. I think today what we will hear is a reinforcement of the warnings we have heard from politicians from these lead scientist, chris whitty, chief medical officer, sir Patrick Vallance, the cheaper scientific advisor, these worrying predictions that we could see a number of deaths by the end of october unless something changes will stop i think ministers may know that some people are fed up with this way of living. They find it very difficult and hugely frustrated as well about whats been going on over testing so i think today, a way of saying for politicians, look, you dontjust need to listen to us, listen to the science guides, look at the data, look at the graphs, look at what we are seeing, see for yourself. Thank you very much indeed for that. We will be talking about that throughout the programme, trying to get more information and we will be joined by the transport secretary as well, grant shapps. Around one in every 20 children in england is currently out of school because of the coronavirus pandemic. Thats according to new research by the childrens commissioner for england, anne longfield. Shes warning that all the hard work of re opening schools in september will slip away unless teachers are given priority for testing. The government is right to reopen schools but actually, the schools need the backup they need to be able to test, get those testings place. Those tests need to be local and they need to be quick. Two things that arent available at the moment. So when government is looking at its priorities, children, schools and teachers need to be high on that list to enable them to have them because children need to be in school and parents need to get to work. Failure is not an option. A leak of confidential documents involving two trillion dollars of transactions has revealed how the husband of one of the conservative partys biggest donors was secretly funded by a Russian Oligarch with close ties to president putin. The revelation comes from thousands of leaked suspicious activity reports, which were sent by banks around the world to the us treasury. Andy verity reports. In this unprecedented leak, thousands of reports of suspicious act beauty filed by banks to alert us authorities suspicious activity. Were passed to the International Consortium of infected investigative journalist and International Consortium of infected investigativejournalist and bbc panorama. They reveal the banks closely guarded secrets. Payment of 8 million flagged as suspicious was sent to a russian businessman former minister living in britain, in 2016. It initially came from this man. A billionaire ally of president putin. In 2018 he was a change and by the us who were targeting those they said played a key role in advancing russias malign activities. The mans wife had become famous for donating large sums to the conservative party in exchange for tennis matches with David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Tennis matches with David Cameron and borisjohnson. And paying £135,000 for a night out with theresa may. In total, she has donated £1. 7 million. Most of it since her husband received the 8 million. These people, pleasant though they may be, are not fit and proper people to make donations to a British Political Party and it looks and feels and is really troubling. If you see that people are paying money into the conservative Party Coffers and getting this level of access and therefore presumably influence as a result. The conservative party said british russians have a democratic right to donate to a political party. The lawyer for the family says the wife never received money from mr karimov and mr karimov says he has had no dealings with mrs chu nuking but neither denied the 8 million payment to the husband. The satirical drama succession which was created by the british writerjesse armstrong was among the big winners at the emmys overnight. The ceremony hosted byjimmy kimmel was held behind closed doors meaning all the winners delivered their speeches via zoom. Canadian comedy Schitts Creek had a big night with 6 wins while hbo saga succession, about a media mogul and his family, won best drama and best actorforjeremy strong. It is interesting seeing all of these awards ceremonies done in very different ways and we are used to. Quite a few people had potential emmy awards take into their house with people in full protective gear and then didnt win. Ok, bye awkward. How is the weather going to be from matt today . I heard you talking about autumnal temperatures on the way . You certainly did little but has been a lovely weekend across the country and not a bad day today as well put up a bit of summer warmth but there are signs of change ahead. The main feel of autumn today isa ahead. The main feel of autumn today is a bit of mist and fog around the sunshine quickly building once the mist and fog disappears. Mainly across a central england. A few patches through Central Scotland as well but as you can see, it dissipates. Not much cloud. The cloud will increase in Northern Ireland and north and west scotland later in the day. A bit pushing through on towards the coast of north west england but with the sickest rain across the hebrides, far north into orkney and shetland, we will see out rexs afternoon, stiffening breeze, temperatures into the mid teens. Could get into 20 celsius in the sunshine around aberdeenshire and not far behind that in parts of Northern Ireland. Cloudy across the isle of man and a bit more clad in western parts of wales but sunny, highs of around 2a or 25 degrees towards east anglia and the south east. Through this evening and overnight, rain gets heavier across the far north west of scotla nd heavier across the far north west of scotland with a bit more cloud around, a few mist and fog patches and temperatures dropping down into single figures in one or two spots but not too chilly into tomorrow where we could see highs of 26 but after seeing that to start the week, dan and louise, it is the autumn wardrobe on the way for the end, wind, rain and a high of only 1a at the very best. We will have more just before quarter to seven. Thanks to you both. Universities are welcoming new and old students onto campuses this week for the First Time Since the lockdown. Social distancing measures are in place but, naturally, the movement of so many people around the uk is causing concern. Jayne mccubbin is at Hull University this morning. Yes, we are at the university of hull whether bunting is out to welcome back 111,000 students to this university but as you say, tens of thousands of students have spent the whole weekend living around the country, ready to start their courses in some shape or form today and some have questioned the wisdom of that. The union that represents University Lectures has put out a statement and a survey this weekend that found that they went to University Towns and question people and 57 patent 57 of people found they could be an upsurge in infections because of this. Yesterday we spent the day in the leeds, leeds university, which has not one but five universities in that city. To find out how the stu d e nts that city. To find out how the students and parents feel, how the community feel, about what is about to begin, just as this stark warning comes from the chief medical officer. Forjodie. And forjosh and nathan. Today is independence day. Theirfirst day and forjosh and nathan. Today is independence day. Their first day of a new life in leeds. Bell oh, i cant wait. Still counting down for it for three months, ive been counting down fruit for six ever since our exams were cancelled. Ive been waiting for years for this what, to get rid of him . That does make it no, we will miss him. What, to get rid of him . That does make it no, we will miss himlj hope she does well. How many people will you be living with . Three others. The problem is, they will be your bubble now. What if you dont get on . I think it will be ok. I am eternally optimistic. There are nearly 40,000 students moving in to leeds this week, a city which has just recorded its best ever increase in covert infections. For families like these, they are more than the usual worries as they prepare to see their kids. A bit of concern but they seem to have a lot of things in place around here which, safety oriented. I think it is pretty reassuring. Could do with having a bit more teaching time but i dont know whether that is going to happen for. It is a bit annoying because it is harder to meet people if you are trying to move around a course, you cant go to lectures and sit next to new people. Sebastians mum says she has packed all the essentials. Hand gel, lots of masks everywhere we go, as you can tell, he is not wearing a mask laughs. So much of this will depend on students following all the rules and regulations. Mohammed tells me the council is working with bars and venues to make sure people are policing their venues. If somebody isnt obviously doing their bit, isnt playing their part, then we could actually take further action which could actually lead to. Worry is notjust action which could actually lead to. Worry is not just what happened in bars and pubs but in homes and halls. Most students are complying. Obviously impacted by the new rule, six people, so you cant really plan to do big things, you have to keep it quite low key. Really plan to do big things, you have to keep it quite lowkey. More than 19,000 fines have been issued for non covert compliance so far. David says bars like his wont be the problem non covid. David says bars like his wont be the problem non covid. Id like to think everybody will be really on it. Normally at this time of year, you would have it on every house, every street with probably a mile radius. There has certainly been a few. Getting infection rates back down requires everyone to act. Matt hancock yesterday warned, follow the covid rules or they will get tougher. We spent quite a few hours in leeds yesterday and a couple of young men we re yesterday and a couple of young men were breaking the rules of six and the pubs and beer gardens were busy ona the pubs and beer gardens were busy on a nice day but people did seem to be sticking to the rules but there is concerned. Lets meet the vice chancellor, susan. Hello. What is your priority today because this mustve been a logistical nightmare for you. Our absolute priority is the health and safety of our community. The whole community . Yes, students, staff and the community in which we find ourselves in at the same time of course focusing on our stu d e nts same time of course focusing on our students and delivering high quality education and the wider student experience, working across with government guidance and Public Health to make sure that we can deliver those things and effectively. It will be very, very different for students, wont it, and many will feel they are invincible and this will not harm them but it is who they come into contact the community. Them but it is who they come into contact the communitylj them but it is who they come into contact the community. I think it is going to be different but it does not necessarily need to be a lesser experience for them. But it is, they are not teaching face to face. Experience for them. But it is, they are not teaching facetoface. We are not teaching facetoface. We are doing blended unit landed learning is a most universities so the lectures are online and then small group face to face teaching but specifically around specialist teaching and things that cannot be taught online effectively and we believe that is the right approach for the students and will deliver the best education for them. Let me introduce tom now, he is in charge of the pastoral care. There is a fine line isnt there between keeping students on the people they come into contact with safe but also not creating isolation that could be harmful to Mental Health. How are you going to tread that line . Harmful to Mental Health. How are you going to tread that line7m harmful to Mental Health. How are you going to tread that line . It is critical, one of the key parts of university experiences the social connections they make it we have been hard also to ensure that the way that the teachers engage with students is fit for purpose and that the tutors are more active in reaching out to students and the students have more channels to communicate with us and both face to face, socially distanced if they want but also online. Really what we have been seeing in the first week is students taking up that, been asking more questions, andl that, been asking more questions, and i think some of the power distance that has been there between staff and students have kind of disappeared so it has been an upshot on the way we can communicate with the students. Lets bring you together because i want to ask, when we we re together because i want to ask, when we were in leeds, there was talk about fines already being imposed in the halls of residence because stu d e nts the halls of residence because students were not adhering to the rule of six. How heavily are you going to police your Student Community . The first thing i want to say is in the main, our students remain act responsibly and understand the situations we will ta ke understand the situations we will take it on a case by case basis and we think it is the best approach where students, perhaps a small minority of them, may not understand the rules or follow the rules and we will do that on a case by case basis, depending on how that conversation goes really. See how it goes. Thank you both for meeting with us at this very early hour, lots of concerns but i have to say lots of concerns but i have to say lots of concerns but i have to say lots of excitement too because this is such a big day for so many young people. And the hope is this unusual class of 2020 can go ahead in some shape orform class of 2020 can go ahead in some shape or form and class of 2020 can go ahead in some shape orform and be memorable, not perhaps for the normal reasons but for different reasons. Back to you. We will be with her through the morning and if you have questions, concerns, observation about the university return, let us know. Normal numbers, normal social media accounts. What is the . Dont ask me. I will have it to you in one second. I will give it to you in one second. Lets take a look at todays papers. Many of the front pages feature the government warning that the uk is facing heavier coronavirus restrictions unless we follow coronavirus rules. Last chance saloon before new lockdown is the headline in the daily telegraph. A claim that the cabinet is split is on the front of the i newspaper. It says the chancellor fears a second lockdown would have a devastating impact on jobs, while the Health Secretary is urging tough action now. It suggests the pm will address the nation on tuesday evening. According to the daily mail, care homes are having to wait up to 15 days for coronavirus test results. In what the paper calls a testing disgrace, it also claims some swabs have had to be thrown away after couriers failed to collect them. And most watched on the bbc news website is the story of a one off aston martin called the bulldog, which is being restored after nearly 40 years in storage. That looks like a glory, doesnt it . Absolutely amazing. Looking at the inside pages, i love this sporting gesture over the weekend. Diego meant reader sacrificed, they were going for the final, the last two, third and fourth, one person goes the wrong way, james, and the person behind him in fourth stops, waits for him, let him go over the finishing line, which is not make a great video, isnt it . A lovely video. They then shook hands before crossing the finishing line. Diego said he deserved it. Then later on they were able, they gave him the same prize money as well and we will speak to james, who came third. Lovely. Imagine the moment. There would be like oh, no i have gone the wrong way sally will talk about that. Bbc breakfast is that addressed by the way. Dont send them all, send them all to five live. Thats right, send them to five live, our radio colleagues. Have you seen mars attacks . There is a new thing called the covid iter which apparently can be worn likely helmet in mars attacks and it has been modelled here by the fashion blogger Michelle Madonna charles, new york fashion week. Can you see this . And it costs . £190, it provides more protective more protective protection than surgical masks and it is using negative air pressure to filter oxygen. What . And can be worn comfortably, one for hours on end. £190. This is a lovely story, obviously a lot of restrictions on all sorts of things, including for example weddings and this is a newlywed alex pearce who went 200 miles, there she is, to her grandfathers care home to surprise him in herwedding grandfathers care home to surprise him in her Wedding Dress because he could not make the big day because of the pandemic. Oh my goodness i did not swap this. There he is, able to see her, and he has a little glass of something and some cake. Im sure there were a few tears and the bundesliga returned in germany over the weekend, their top division, and this is some of the 6500 division, and this is some of the 650 0 fa ns division, and this is some of the 6500 fans watching frankfurt. this. The future. The future of live sport being watched by spectacles, they are all socially distanced, still enjoying themselves but many, many seats unused. There we re but many, many seats unused. There were a few test events as well in ligue1 were a few test events as well in ligue 1 and leg two over the weekend, letting 1000 fans in. It remains to be seen what happens in the coming days. Heres some much needed good news for you. Its about a little boy called ethan who is living with a range of severe disabilities after he was born at just 24 weeks. Ethan was unable to properly communicate with his family for the first nine years of his life but now, thanks to technology and the support of his friends and family, thats beginning to change. Simon spark has the story. Can you say hi . Hi this is ethan. He is nine years old and needs round the clock care. He is nine years old and needs roundtheclock care. Happy birthday to you he has got Cerebral Palsy, dystonia, chronic lung disease, he is on oxygen 24 7, he has spasms, Global Mobility delays so he cannot walk, talk, but he is a happy little boy, that is the thing, he is very happy. What may not be so obvious is that despite a body that completely restricts him, evens brain is perfectly ok. The doctors have said he will have a high iq so he definitely understands, he can definitely understands, he can definitely hear, c. You all right . You want the news on . He loves bbc news, all of the time, you change the channel from bbc news to itv or any other news and you have got a waron, any other news and you have got a war on, you know what i mean . Give me two kisses for the news. But it is only now that he will be able to prove what he can do using just his eyes and a computer screen. This is just to find the odd one out. Good boy using Eye Tracking Technology for the first time in his life, evens playing his own games and making his own decisions. Evens playing his own games and making his own decisionsm evens playing his own games and making his own decisions. It is mind blowing at the minute, we have only had it for what three weeks at the minute so it is a lot to take in but there is stuff he can do, well, it is mind blowing, it really is mind blowing. It has only been possible after the Community Rallied around to raise the money needed doing lockdown. Held by his carer, susan. Come on, which one is the odd one out . It is likely to think that everybody was going through this ha rd everybody was going through this hard time and a kind of gave us something to focus on, getting this money together. This is given a family hope for evens future after a time when his mum sarah faced the possibility of ethan having no future at all. He came up to 24 weeks and five days, went into hospital and gave birth about nine hours later. He was a £1 eight baby. This is evens dummy. And then we have evens first nappy. And then evens first baby grow which i have kept. When he was six months old, he had run colitis, put on the oscillator for about five weeks, and then they said they were going to switch the machine off because his lungs were collapsed. And then they gave him steroids and they said if they give him steroids, you may be disabled. It was awful, i mean, i stayed by his bedside every single day. Yeah, it was devastating, really, but they said they would try, i said just try one last thing. And that is what they did, they tried the steroids and they wont. Where is granddad . Hi, granddad. You do it. Hi, gran. Oh he says dad a lot and sister and spider, which he should really say more because. You know, when hes going to see a spider . These are still early days but in the future, and with more advanced software, it is hoped that this will be his gateway to full communication. Simon spark, bbc news.

London is said to be catching up with covid 19 hotspots in northern england. Its according to the Mayors Office, which is why sadiq khan has said hell meet Council Leaders today. It comes as data from just a few days ago suggested london was two weeks behind those areas, but now its believed the gap has closed to two or three days. Well, the Health Secretary matt hancock says he wont rule out new restrictions in london to slow the viruss spread. Thousands of private renters across london are bracing themselves for court action, now that a temporary ban on evictions has ended. The government introduced the measure to prevent people losing their homes during the pandemic. Its thought tens of thousands of people have been served eviction notices in recent months. The National Residential Landlord Association says its encouraged landlords to work with their tenants to sustain tenancies wherever possible. For most of this year, many people have felt isolated, which has seen a return of pen pals writing to each other. Its United People across the generations, like a 93 year old care home resident from luton who began receiving letters during lockdown from a six year old who lives 200 miles away. Madge and ella are now good friends. I started writing because it is kind and it is fun. I think it is wonderful. Its wonderful.

Well meet the woolly pitch invader who gate crashed a football match in West Yorkshire over the weekend. I think he is called oscar and we are going to see him this morning a great story. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. The uks chief medical adviser has warned that the country is at a critical point in the coronavirus pandemic. Professor chris whitty will outline the governments plan to curb spiralling cases in a live address to the nation later this morning. Ministers have spent the weekend considering further measures in response to rising infection rates. Around one in every 20 children in england is currently out of school because of the coronavirus pandemic. Thats according to new research by the childrens commissioner for england, anne longfield. Shes warning that all the hard work of re opening schools in september will slip away unless teachers are given priority for testing. Unwanted furlough payments totalling more than 215 million have been returned to the government. Around 80,000 firms, including the retail giant ikea and the Housebuilders Taylor Wimpey and redrow, have re paid the cash they were given to help cover workers salaries. The hmrc welcomed the windfall, which is a small fraction of the 35 billion paid out so far. Lets return to our top story now and the growing concern about the rapidly rising number of covid 19 cases. Doctor ellie cannon is one of our regular breakfast gps shes in london. What are you saying in your surgery . We are seeing a lot of what i call back to school itis so lots of family where kids have started back to school as they always do in september and they have a bit of a runny nose, a bit of a cold, the pa rents runny nose, a bit of a cold, the parents have been told to take their kids home because obviously, understandably, teachers are worried about covid. Families are at home trying to get test, stuck at home, people are. We are speaking to a lot of people like that to reassure people that they dont need a test if they are just having the features ofa if they are just having the features of a common cold but actually they should still be at home if they normally should be. Not too much covid yet. Are you concerned and we know that we will get this announcement or discussion for the from the governments chief medical adviser is but you do want today we are at a critical point. What is your response to that . My response is really one of fear but it is not particularly in relation to covid per se. I think we are quite clearly following france and spain very clearly on the trajectory in terms of cases and then hopefully in terms of cases and then hopefully in terms of cases and then hopefully in terms of fewer hospitalisations and fewer deaths. Im terribly concerned about the rest of our health. What i see in general practice are delayed cancer treatments, delayed Mental Health treatments, delayed Mental Health treatments, as you havejust highlighted, we still have one in 20 children not in school. I am worried that we are becoming so focused on the risks of covid that we are forgetting or neglect thing the other risks to our health that we have seen through the summer are really starting to become significant with that excess mortality and im concerned we are becoming almost too focused on covid and neglecting these other areas of our health. On that neglect, there is two things going on. There is what is going on in the Health Service but also what patients are doing the top are you concerned that patients arent coming to the doctors with something that they might have done beforehand . Yes, we still have that issue because of the talk of pandemic, because of the talk of pandemic, because of the talk of pandemic, because of the talk of rising case numbers and of course, it is important that we all know this information that creates a huge amount of fear and anxiety amongst patients and it means that people are afraid to Access Healthcare and being told again by patients they dont want to go to the hospital for patients they dont want to go to the hospitalfor an patients they dont want to go to the hospital for an x ray or blood test, they dont want to come into a gp surgery, and that is very worrying. It is understandable if it is appropriate because the hospitals are overcrowded or because they have become hubs of covid but at this stage where we are, it is actually just worrying and actually unwarranted. Can we talk about people who had been shielding . We know that some people are more vulnerable than others. What would you say to them now when we know that cases are increasing . It is interesting because i have many shielding patients, as you can imagine, and they seem to fall into two camps. Some people really, of the although they have stopped shielding, they havent actually stopped being careful so they wear a mask everywhere, they wear gloves everywhere, they keep their social contact everywhere, they keep their social co nta ct very everywhere, they keep their social contact very very limited and very strict, just with close family and friends for example, rather than going out to a restaurant, as they are going out to a restaurant, as they a re really going out to a restaurant, as they are really still being very careful and havent actually stopped. But then i have a group of patients who are shielding who actually dont wa nt to are shielding who actually dont want to do that again, who found that their Mental Health and the isolation or the lack of treatment that they had for their Health Problem really was detrimental to them and they are very worried and very unhappy about the prospect of another lot down. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Bring you up to date with a very big weekend of sport. Sally has it all for us. A bumper sport rundown, isnt it . Bryson dechambeau, look at him apparently he has been eating 3. 5 thousand calories to bulk out . Havent we all . Brilliant performance overnight from the american Bryson Dechambeau who can now call himself a major champion after winning the us open at winged foot in new york. The course is notoriously difficult but dechambeau made it look easy, finishing a full six shots ahead of the rest of the field. Hes a fascinating character, widely known as the scientist, because he studied physics at university and uses that knowledge to tinker with his game. Hes also massively bulked up over the last six months so he can hit the ball further, and its really paid off. Idid it. I did it. I did it. As difficult as this golf course was presented, i played it beautifully. Even when i got in the rough, i was still able to manage my game and hit it to correct sides of the greens except for on 14 today, 13. No, 14. I kept logging away. There was a goal fest in the premier league this weekend. 39 of them in total, and theres still two more games this evening. Liverpool won the big game yesterday. They beat chelsea 2 0 at stamford bridge. Chelsea had a man sent off just before half time, then sadio mane took over for the champions he got both goals, the second came courtesy of an absolute howler by the chelsea keeper kepa arrizabalaga. Really big win for spurs too. No gareth bale for them just yet but who needs him when youve got son hyung min. He scored four as they beat southampton 5 2. There were wins elsewhere yesterday for leicester and brighton. Rangers meanwhile conceded their first goals of the season as they drew 2 2 with hibernian in the scottish premiership. Rangers are still top, but boss Steven Gerrard said it was two points dropped. Slovenias tadej poga ar is celebrating his 22nd birthday this morning as the second youngest Tour De France champion in history. Sam bennett won the final stage in paris along with the sprinters green jersey becoming the first irishman to do so for 31 years. Poga ar had overhauled long term race leader Primoz Roglic on saturday to claim the Yellow Jersey on his tour debut. And now for a bit of Old Fashioned sportsmanship. This is british racerjames teagle who was on course for third place at a triathlon in spain when he made this mistake near the finish line. A spaniard called Diego Mentrida overtook him, but noticed the mistake and stopped to allow teagle to cross first saying he deserved it. The organisers awarded him honorary third place and the same 300 euros prize money as teagle. Iam well, i am pleased to say we can speak to james now, who is in bilbao this morning. First of all, congratulations. What on earth did you do . What was the mistake and how did it happen . Good morning. It was a race in spain and i was going down what i thought was the finish shoot, it was a big red banner. But i was running onto another lap and the crowd shouted, turn around diego was 50 metres down the road the other way so he, we both started sprinting and that is when he saw the video, i was going a bit too fast and crashes the barriers. Diego is going to win this. Fair enough. I made a silly mistake and i am surprised he stopped on the finish line and allows me to pass. I was a bit confused at that point because a big red banner, istill thought confused at that point because a big red banner, i still thought it was the finish line but i suppose it just shows massive integrity and great sportsmanship and you know, people have really taken it to heart, it has gone all over the world and it is incredible just to see that, people valuing that sportsmanship. What did you say to diego after the race . Will it was a really fu n ny diego after the race . Will it was a really funny situation because obviously with covid,. Lj really funny situation because obviously with covid,. I dont know, coming from behind, i shook his hand straight afterwards and once i realised that that was the finish line and we had gone over it, ijust thanked him, thank you very much, it was an incredible thing to do and we we re was an incredible thing to do and we were whisked away because of the covid security measures. Ijust said thank you on instagram, that was incredible. Once the world had got hold of the video, it has gone viral. James, will you make that mistake again . Absolutely not. Well done, it is a fantastic story. Isnt that great to see . Really and sportsmanship. That has really cheered me up. At that point in a triathlon, mentally exhausted as well as physically . Louise, iam exhausted as well as physically . Louise, i am going to put you in this situation. If someone in front of you finished first, what would you do . To be fair, i genuinely think i would let them go. In my view. If we werent neck and neck, i am not saying i wouldnt try. He was obviously ahead of him anyway. I would like to think, i cant100 guarantee and i have gone the wrong way, i have gone too far as well. So much going on in your head, to think that clearly and to think do you know what . He was ahead of me. He stopped just literally on the line. You can see why it has inspired so many people. Heres matt with a look at the weather. Good morning, dan and louise. A lovely weekend across parts of the country with the sunshine and warmth and we will have some of that over the next couple of days to get ready. Autumn equinox tomorrow and on cue, our weather switches from summer to autumn. Wind, rain and a big drop in temperatures on the way as well. Let me show you what i mean because over the next couple of days when the sun is out, temperatures up to 20 degrees in the north east scotland, 26 towards the south east of england, south westerly winds, but if we go through the week, notice the blue colours of cold air pushing on northerly winds to us through the end of the week and by which stage averages in single figures for some in scotland, a high of around 14 and maybe 15 degrees towards the south of england. They are the temperature is we end with after overnight. Little bit cool in spots, mist and fog, eastern parts of wales, southern england. It should lift and shift on the first half of the morning and into the afternoon we will see some long spells of sunshine developed for most of you. A bit more cloud this afternoon for Northern Ireland. Sunny spells and a bit more cloud in the far mainland, outbreaks of rain. 20 degrees for the north east of scotla nd 20 degrees for the north east of scotland possible. Up to around 2425 towards the south east of england. A fine evening in store for many. 2425. The fine evening in store for many. 24 25. The rain starts to get heavier across the highlands and ireland. The far north of the highlands, much of the uk will stay dry. Temperatures down into single figures and a few spots as we go down into tomorrow morning. A bit more cloud around with mist and fog patches and most will have a dry day, particularly across england and wales. More cloud in western scotla nd wales. More cloud in western scotland and Northern Ireland and through the day it will turn more wet and windy. Winds around 40 mph across the hebrides later on. Light winds further south and where you have the sunshine, it will feel even warmer than potentially today, up to around 25 or 26. Still into the upper teens across the North West North East of scotland but through the night we see the changes. Outbreaks of rain through scotland and down into england and wales and the dividing line into wednesday morning, still the residual warmth across the south east corner so 16 degrees whereas we could see a touch of frost for some parts of scotla nd touch of frost for some parts of scotland and Northern Ireland and that cool air will start to push in, initially behind that weather front. Another batch will bring even colder airas we go another batch will bring even colder air as we go towards the end of the week so giving you a little flavour of what is to come this week. Some of what is to come this week. Some of the city forecast from each of the four nations. The main thing is we will see wind and rain as well. Gusty winds through thursday but just notice the temperatures, aberdeen, armagh, brecon and luton. All of them sing drops of ten or 11 and overnight frosts will become a little bit more common as well. Big jumpers out as we head towards the end of the week. Thank you for the Early Morning, matt thank you for the early warning, matt it was a quieter weekend than normal for some people in north east england as pubs, bars and restaurants had to close early as part of the new coronavirus measures. Nina is in whitley bay to tell us more. It looks nice good morning. Nice is in under estimate, isnt it . Com pletely nice is in under estimate, isnt it . Completely beautiful. Some brave swimmers out there and you can see the lighthouse in the distance but this, the piece to resistance, this is the spanish city, built originally in 1910 as a hospitality venue originally in 1910 as a hospitality venue and you originally in 1910 as a hospitality venue and you can originally in 1910 as a hospitality venue and you can just picture the ballroom and the tearoom and the rooftop gardens. Renovated two years ago but then this came, a massive blow, covid safe, and from the weekend these extra measures and extra restrictions were put in place and just to remind ourselves why we are up to with them. For 800 restau ra nts are up to with them. For 800 restaurants in 1500 bars and pubs of the north east, new curfews so between 10pm and five am they have to close. Table service only. A similar pick in bolton at the moment. Picture. A similar curfew is in place in bolton and will come into force from tomorrow in parts of lancashire, merseyside, warrington and halton. The council in leeds has been calling for a bar curfew there, and there are reports london mayor sadiq khan wants something similar in the capital. That means that currently, 10 of all the countrys pubs are operating under some form of tighter restriction or curfew. Thats roughly 37,000. A massive blow to hospitality. It is already seen months and months of no income whatsoever. In fact, theyre warning without more support another 900,000 jobs are at risk. What does that mean to bars and restau ra nts what does that mean to bars and restaurants in city centres . We went into Newcastle City Centre at closing time on saturday night to find out. Been very quiet, not like usual saturday night so i think you have the one crowd and the whole of the city here and it is a case of seeing the city very different to how it normally is. Just feels a bit strange on a saturday night. We have been through recessions and lots of different sort of stages and in 22 years we have seen it also really, were just kind of basically playing it by ear, rolling with the punches, but not majorly worried. It is different compared to usual but definitely been a good atmosphere and everyone is sticking to the rules and it has been decent, a good night. Everybody has been applying to it, doing what they should do, and you have to keep the businesses in business, dont you . Our anxiety comes and goes, should we go here or not, should i wear a mask, comes and goes, should we go here or not, should i weara mask, but comes and goes, should we go here or not, should i wear a mask, but it has been good, then relaxing but i am thankful because you will not get the hang after ten p. M. am thankful because you will not get the hang after ten pm that is the only benefit, really depends what time you Start Talking to chris, general manager of the spanish city. These extra restrictions over the weekend, how did they affect trade . Quite a lot. The main reason, the whole household cannot come out and that restricts the things people can ta ke that restricts the things people can take on because people normally gathered together at spanish city and we are finding now that one household comes instead of groups of people. Is it immediate cancellation, as soon as the restrictions were announced . Cancellation, as soon as the restrictions were announced . What a lot of cancellations and we are obviously getting families coming in which is great but a lot larger bookings, special occasions, birthday parties where people gather together, we have lost a lot of that. Next weeks left of the furlough scheme. What does it mean to you and to your staff . We are actually not using it at the moment. Obviously if there is not a lockdown, it is therefore is to use, there is no money coming in through there is no money coming in through the door though then it does make it difficult because staff and the employer have to contribute 20 was cost and it is a difficult thing and we cost and it is a difficult thing and we have had further support from the government you know the Hospitality Industry is struggling. Lets speak to jonathan who works for the industry is struggling. Lets speak tojonathan who works for the local chambers of commerce. We heard their from a pub owner who says roll with the punches and dig deep but how long can pubs and restaurants in this area do that . It has been a long year. It has, these are firms that have been through a very, very tough few months. Many of them were just starting to sort of get their heads above water i think, seeing a return to normality. With the wider restrictions in place, the case numbers and the rise in those have been obvious to many people but this will be a tough few weeks and i think what firms want to certainty, support and some idea that there is light at the end of the tunnel. On thursday night, did you see people, because there are concerns that people, when the curfews come in, they squashed down their enjoyment to earlier in the days i was there a rise in the number of people out on thursday night . I think some people saw it as a chance to get out, to have one last hurrah, before the restrictions came in. I think it is worth remembering that businesses like here and elsewhere have been doing their absolute upmost to get their staff and customers safe and their staff and customers safe and the overwhelming majority are abiding by the rules and these businesses are inherently still safe. Both he are saying earlier it is inherited imperative that the track and trace works more effectively. And places like this, it isnt about the jobs that are created here and about the revenue that comes through the door, the wider economy here is heavily reliant on it and we will show you inside a little bit later. Yeah, matt was speaking earlier about the weather turning shortly, and announcement a little bit later on this morning and it feels this morning in more ways than one like the calm before the storm. Thank you, it does look lovely there, before the storm. We will speak to nina a little bit later. But announcement by professor chris whitty and the chief scientific advisor is at 11 oclock and you will find on the bbc news channel. And plenty of interviews around, we are speaking to the shadow chancellor at 720 this morning. Grant shapps the transport secretary is here at 730 and the first minister of wells Mark Drakeford at 830 on the programme. Little mix got their big break on the x factor nine years ago.

Actually take it in turns off, like, who makes the final decisionm actually take it in turns off, like, who makes the final decision. It is basically majority rule. You have to get three yes but if you have to make the deciding one it is like pressure does the pressure take you back to sort of the pressure that you felt . Look at your faces, about going into the. . It is you felt . Look at your faces, about going into the. . It is difficult, yeah, been hard seeing people because we know how that feels when we got turned away quite a few times. I think we are not are a lot nicer though. We are, we genuinely care about them and want to make sure they are looked after and supported. Let them know where they are getting themselves into. We we re they are getting themselves into. We were obviously not going to be on a pedestal for people to have an opinion about you so i think it is important for us to warn them and sort of prepare them for that. All four of you live your lives fully in the glare of social media. Have any of you thought i do not want to be a pa rt of you thought i do not want to be a part of this anymore . of you thought i do not want to be a part of this anymore . I want out . The time. I think we are a bit a lot better with social media than we used to be and we are not on it as much as we used to be, not as obsessed with it. Do you have to be strict about that . For me, i do. I cannot be on it all the time because for me mentally it is not good. |j feel like if you dont want to be on social media, you shouldnt. You dont have to have it. Of course not. I feel guilty when dont have to have it. Of course not. Ifeel guilty when i dont post enough because i placed a lot on instagram andi enough because i placed a lot on instagram and i feel bad for our fa ns instagram and i feel bad for our fans who want to see us post and it is about finding a balance. You dont want to neglect your fans. Thats what i mean and then i find i feel guilty. But your Mental Health is the most important thing. You have to do it for you. The cons outweigh the pros by a mile. It is not actually, there isnt that much to it more than that. I dont know, it is uncomfortable, isnt it . I wish it never existed. Really . If you knew what it was now you wouldnt have joined it . You knew what it was now you wouldnt havejoined it . Crosstalk. I literally admire people who dont have social media. I think it is so refreshing and i meet people who literally dont have it. Trying to contact them is almost impossible. I love that. I wish i could be like that. How do you get hold of them . E mail. That. How do you get hold of them . Email. I that. How do you get hold of them . E mail. I love that that. How do you get hold of them . Email. I love that youre sort of proteges, the band who comes through, what will you tell them about social media . Through, what will you tell them about social media . Stay off it .

Crosstalk. Have fun with it, ta ke it. Crosstalk. Have fun with it, take all the positives from it and use it and engage with your fan base and try your best not to feed into this sort of negative aspect. Thank you, that has been great. All the best with it and i hope to see you again soon little mix the search, begins this saturday on bbc one at 7pm. In case you tuned in halfway through, we felt that in february. Backin through, we felt that in february. Back in those days. Before lockdown, before the things that changed our lives for ever. When you could sit next to each other time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. London is said to be catching up with covid 19 hotspots in northern england. Its according to the Mayors Office, which is why sadiq khan has said hell meet Council Leaders today. It comes as data from just a few days ago suggested london was two weeks behind those areas but now its believed the gap has closed to two or three days. This is the opinion of some londoners about the possibility of another lockdown. I think we need to go in a bit sooner because by the time all of the damage could have been done and everybody is out like this and it may be too late by then. It has to be done, doesnt it, if that is the way to get out of it. I think it is quite a good idea because i would rather have a lot done now than at christmas time. Well, the Health Secretary, matt hancock says he wont rule out new restrictions in london to slow the viruss spread. Thousands of private renters across london are bracing themselves for court action, now that a temporary ban on evictions has ended. The government introduced the measure to prevent people losing their homes during the pandemic. Its thought tens of thousands of people have been served eviction notices. The National Residential Landlord Association says its encouraged landlords to work with their tenants. For most of this year, many people have felt isolated, which has seen a return of penpals writing to each other. Its United People across the generations, like a 93 year old care home resident from luton, who began receiving letters during lockdown from a six year old who lives 200 miles away. Madge and ella are now good friends. I started writing because its kind and its obviously fun. I think its wonderful. Its wonderful. I look forward to her letters and i look forward to writing to her. It is wonderful lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow due to a signal failure at west drayton and paddington. And the waterloo city line is currently closed as well. On the roads, Victoria Street and the western side of Parliament Square have been closed by the police. In watford, the a41 is completely closed from sandy lane to hartspring lane because of a spillage. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. Some changes in the weather this week but for today, it is warm, dry, theres a lot more blue sky and sunshine to come. But we are starting off this morning with some mist and some low cloud. Its a mild start to the day. The sunshine will readily emerge through this morning. We will be keeping it this afternoon. The winds are lighter than they were at the weekend. Highs today of 24, maybe 25 celsius out towards the west. And then overnight tonight, we will keep the clear skies, the light winds, temperatures dropping perhaps as low as nine celsius out towards rural eastern spots, so it is a locally chilly start to the day tomorrow but temperatures could be even higher 25, maybe 26 celsius. As we head through the week, though, it will start to feel a lot more autumnal. From wednesday onwards, we are expecting some wet weather. The wind is going to pick up and the temperatures will really drop off. So feeling a lot cooler from midweek onwards. Thats it. Ill be back in half an hour. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Our headlines today were at a critical point in the pandemic. Thats the warning from englands chief medical officer who says coronavirus numbers are going in the wrong direction calls for more testing in schools as around one in 20 pupils misses class for covid related reasons. Good morning. The sun rises on a week under curfew for the north east. Hospitality venues face new actions which will mean making moneyjust got even harder. Theres a new major champion in the world of golf. The american Bryson Dechambeau powers his way through a stunning final round to win the us open in new york. Starting with warmth and finishing with cooler weather. Going from summer to autumn this week. Whether coming up. Good morning. Its monday the 21st of september. Our top story the governments plans to curb spiralliing coronavirus cases will be laid out in a live address to the nation later this morning. Professor chris whitty, the uks chief health adviser, will warn that we are at a critical point in the pandemic and face a very challenging winter. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. If i could ask professor whitty and sir Patrick Vallance. Chris whitty and sir Patrick Vallance were the mainstays of the downing street press conferences when the virus was at its peak. So you can assume that their briefing this morning on the latest data wont convey good news. Professor whittys likely to say that the uk is going in the wrong direction and that a very challenging winter lies ahead. The two men spent much of yesterday afternoon behind downing streets black door, poring over the data with the Health Secretary, the chancellor and the Prime Minister himself. Whats been concerning some of those inside number ten are predictions that there could be a significant rise in deaths from covid by the end of next month unless further action is taken. Ministers agreed there should not be a full National Lockdown but there are tensions around the cabinet table over precisely which more limited measures to take, and not very far from downing street, people say theyre simply looking for clarity. I think something has got to be done because you do hear a lot of people actually disobeying the rules and its affecting everyone and a wake up call is good. If theres some measures that can be taken to stop people doing silly things when they need to be at home, being smart and protecting people, then so be it. You could say, look, the rule of six is about as simple as you can get but there are so many anomalies, you can understand why people dont quite know whats going on and then fining somebody £1000 when there could be a very legitimate reason why they didnt understand. All thats going to do is alienate people and the only way this is ever going to work is if you get the public on your side. Keeping people on side could be a challenge for the government because it does seem likely that some restrictions in areas of local lockdowns, particularly on the leisure industry, could be extended temporarily across england. But the governments options havent yet become firm decisions. Iain watson, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent Jessica Parker is in westminster. Good morning. Quite a bold step to have this life reefing today at 11 oclock with Patrick Vallance alongside professor chris whitty . Yes, it is unprecedented in that when we have seen two men before the live press conferences, they have a lwa ys live press conferences, they have always been with a minister so there, they will be setting up the data on their own and it follows the stern warnings we have been hearing from ministers, urging people to follow the rules, saying that if they dont, if things dont change, they dont, if things dont change, they could have to introduce further restrictions, possibly on a nationwide basis. We understand is number tens priority is keeping schools open and keeping the economy going as much as is possible. We know of course . We know of course a question mark has been hanging over what will be happening in some areas but you know there is curbs on the leisure industry being talked about. Ministers also know that people are fed up, some of them, with living under these coronavirus restrictions, they find it very tough and there is huge restriction over the situation with testing. Huge frustration. People are coming out to show the data, ministers able to say, look, you dont need to listen to us, listen to the guys who know the science was up here is the data and the graph, see the situation for yourself. Well be joined by the transport secretary, grant shapps, in around 25 minutes. Taxpayers will continue to cover rail compa nys financial losses for another 18 months after the government struck a new emergency deal to keep trains moving during the pandemic. It follows a similar deal at the start of the lockdown, which has so far cost around three and a half billion pounds. Our transport correspondent tom burridge is at waterloo station. Tom, what can you tell us about this new agreement . Passenger numbers are still down. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the countrys busiest train station but the relatively quiet scene behind me is why these emergency deals between the governments and Train Companies are needed. The government has agreed to continue to cover the losses on the railways for another 18 months. Since march, the low passenger numbers have created a shortfall of 3. 5 billion pounds, a huge bill which is being paid by us, the taxpayers will stop during the 18 month period, the government was to bring in broader reforms on the railways, the f word, franchising, is out. They want to bring in or are looking at bringing in contracts called concessions. They are already running on mersey rail and on the london overground. Under a franchise, a Train Company could win big or lose big passenger numbers went up or down. In a concession, any profit or loss falls to the government body behind the railway. Remember pre covid, that debate about whether the railway should be nationalised or not. Well this morning, we are moving towards a model that is similar to a nationalised model but like everything in the immediate term, the main concern is the pandemic, the main concern is the pandemic, the effect on passenger numbers and the effect on passenger numbers and the huge financial cost to the government. Thank you so much. A leak of confidential documents involving two trillion dollars of transactions has revealed how the husband of one of the conservative partys biggest donors was secretly funded by a Russian Oligarch with close ties to president putin. The revelation comes from thousands of leaked suspicious activity reports, which were sent by banks around the world to the us treasury. Andy verity reports. In this unprecedented leak, thousands of reports of suspicious activity filed by banks to alert us authorities were leaked to Buzzfeed News and passed to the International Consortium of investigativejournalists and bbc panorama. They reveal some of the International Banking systems most closely guarded secrets. In one example, a payment of 8 million flagged as suspicious was sent to a russian businessman and former minister living in britain, vladimir chernukhin, in 2016. It initially came from this man, suleiman kerimov, a billionaire ally of president putin. In 2018 he was sanctioned by the us who were targeting those they said played a key role in advancing russias malign activities. Mr chernukhins wife, lubov chernukhin, has become famous for donating large sums to the conservative party in exchange for tennis matches with David Cameron and Boris Johnson. And paying £135,000 for a night out with theresa may. In total, shes donated £1. 7 million. Most of it since her husband received the 8 million from kerimov. The chernukhins, pleasant people that they may be, are not fit and proper people to make donations to a British Political Party and it looks and feels and is really troubling, if you see that people are paying money into the conservative Party Coffers and getting this level of access and therefore presumably influence as a result. The conservative party said british russians have a democratic right to donate to a political party. The chernukhins lawyers say mrs chernukhin never received money deriving from mr kerimov and mr kerimov says hes had no dealings with mrs chernukhin but neither disputed the 8 million payment to her husband. Andy verity, bbc news. If you want more on that, panorama is on later tonight. Prince charles has warned that the Climate Crisis will dwarf the impact of coronavirus. In a recorded message, released to mark the start of climate week, the prince of wales said the pandemic gave a window of opportunity to reset the economy for a more sustainable future. Billions of people around the world are waiting and longing for concerted action to write the balance of this planet that we have so rashly disrupted. Millions of younger employees of countless companies and corporations desperate for action, not more words.

This was the first major hollywood award show of the covid era and one of the oddest ever. Hello and welcome to the pandemic is the Host Jimmy Kimmel broadcasting from an empty theatre. Just like prom night. The show dependent on more than 100 different wi fi feeds from the living rooms, bedrooms or back bins of the nominees. Hello, everybody congratulations back gardens. It was also the part of many of the jokes. Jennifer aniston hoping to sanitise the winners envelope before setting fire to the germs. As if the whole thing wasnt surreal enough, the trophies were presented by people in hazmat suits designed to look like tuxedos. The first emmy of the night for the canadian sitcom Schitts Creek which swept the board in the comedy awards. Fittingly perhaps wallowing awards.

Unthankyou for the virus for keeping us all apart, unthankyou for mr trump for his crummy response. The medium these awards have really been more apparent. The emmys mark the start of the hollywood awards season, one that promises to be the most unconventional ever. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. That was getting a bit crazy, wasnt it . I quite like the awards ceremony like that pand emmys is how it started off. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. Shades of autumn with mist and fog around, a little on the cool side but bigger changes later this week.

The new term is only a few weeks old but around one in 20 pupils are already back on home schooling because of the pandemic. For england, anne longfield, who says the government must do more to keep schools open. Anne longfield joins us now from leeds. Thank you for being with us and lets talk about testing and the need to put teachers on the priority list so why do they need to be on it . We have kids coming back in school over the last three weeks, something that one month ago no one would assume was going to happen with the numbers that they had because they wanted to be in school and are excited and eager to learn and are excited and eager to learn and that is good well to this happen from them and their parents and nine out of ten children came into school but what we know from schools is that they are not able to get hold of the number of quick local testing tests that they need to keep going. If you remember that children actually have symptoms, those that are actually have symptoms, those that a re close actually have symptoms, those that are close to them need to be able to isolate, just close to them, not the whole school, but it means they have to get the local testing in quick. What could be a couple of days turns into a couple of weeks and that is something that does no children any good so when government looks at its prioritisation list for test, of course hospitals and Health Workers but i want schools to be on the list too. You are worried that if it doesnt happen there will be a much wider impact for millions of children and families right across the country . Well it has been the biggest disruption over the last six months to education for the last, since world war ii for children, confidence levels have fallen, they have got out of the habit of learning and lets remember as well that 2 million children have not learned much at all so this is a massive boost to go back in the classroom, parents have told me that confidence levels are soaring and they just want to stay there. To have that disrupted now by going back home in large numbers because of the lack of local testing would really see the government throwing this away and shooting themselves in the foot for something which is huge progress for everyone to have children back in schools so i want to hear that yes, schools are high on that prioritisation list. And the government, we speak to them every day on this programme and they often say about keeping schools open and been a priority but what were your concern from some of the people you have spoken to, those in the industry, parents, if schools were to be at some stage closed again as pa rt to be at some stage closed again as part of a wider lockdown . What do you think would be the consequences of that . Well we know that there has been a huge divide over what kids experienced during lockdown. Some have been at home in kind of you know very comfortable surroundings with parents working at home and been on full time zoom lessons and others have been in cramped accommodation, often very fragile home environments without wi fi. So there is a group of children who already have missed out terribly during this period. And simply not to be able to go back into school and catch up and get ahead really now i think risk losing a generation of children who could be in school because they dont have the virus, they just are because they dont have the virus, theyjust are in a class where others may have some symptoms. So really being able to crack this testing is all part of that ecosystem to not only keep schools open but help children catch up and get ahead. You can understand that, cant you . Get ahead. You can understand that, cant you . Some parents and teachers and schools generally are feeling a bit nervous. Do you feel some overreacting in sending pupils, individuals and classes home when it is simply coughs and colds . The great thing is of course that pa rents great thing is of course that parents have ta ken great thing is of course that parents have taken their children to school so that is very good, there isa school so that is very good, there is a 10 group in school but nine out of ten are and this is a huge responsibility for teachers. They have worked absolutely extraordinary to get the schools opened and now are supporting kids to settle back in and get ahead. But they need the backup, they need advice from local Public Health, from government about working those risk assessments, so they are not having to do it by themselves and they need to be able to fall back on those test which need to get to the much quicker and i hear now schools who take one week trying to find a test and a week waiting for it to arrive and the results to arrive so this is something which in any kind of situation would just not be sustainable. That part needs to be fixed. Schools are open, kids are learning and wanting to be there, teachers are supporting them but they need the testing backup to keep it open and keep it working. Can i ask you about the suggestion of a sort of two week half term to act as a sort of a Circuit Breaker . What do you think about that . For parents i have spoken to, they think it makes sense. They know half term is coming up sense. They know half term is coming up and to be able to extend that makes sense. It will not feel as though it is a disruption to the same scale. It will be starting the children will be able to know it is temporary but what i think is dangerous here is if we let children lose confidence in schools being open and their ability to learn, with their teachers and friends, because i think that will knock their confidence, their learning, and their own ability itself, self ability to be able to progress in school will really be knocked sideways because of that. Good to talk to you, thank you for your time. Im sure lots of you will have your thoughts on that and feel free to send those thoughts in. 20 minutes past seven. Its Party Conference season and labours annual meeting should have been taking place in liverpool this week. Instead, for obvious reasons, its all happening online. Todays keynote speaker is the shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds, who will use her speech to accuse the government of recklessly spending billions of pounds of public money during the pandemic. Anneliese joins us now. Very good morning to you and thank you forjoining us. We know were going to have this a little bit later from Patrick Vallance as well as, this morning, and they are likely to say in this briefing that we are at a critical point in the pandemic. What is your response to that . Well, we absolutely are at a critical point and we are very concerned that we have seen problems building up with testing in particular over the summer and we we re particular over the summer and we were really pushing government to get a were really pushing government to geta grip were really pushing government to get a grip on those issues. It seems like we still have problems with the testing regime now and of course we are at this concerning position where it looks like infections are rising so we need to above all for government to get a grip on the testing system, make sure it is working and all that we can to prevent the need for additional localised restrictions because of course, they do have a very significant cost. You talk about getting a grip. Do you think it is time for a National Lock down again . Well, we think it is very important that communications are Crystal Clear and so, if it is necessary for government to recommend those kinds of additional restrictions, of course we would support them. We have done that consistently, whenever government has said that they need to be additional restrictions, we have supported them. Look, we really want to try to prevent that eventuality happening. That means government being open about where the problems are, with testing, and setting them right. We have known for example for a long time that there are also issues with self isolation. I have been calling for six months for government sort those out. We havejust for six months for government sort those out. We have just in the last couple of days at some Additional Support being announced for people who otherwise would not be able to afford to self isolate so really, government has to face up to those issues now, do so quickly, openly, and hope that we can avoid that potential additional lockdown. With regard to self isolation, taking those rules, the fine can be £10,000. Is that where it should be set . It is my understanding that that £10,000 would be very much for repeat offenders, as it were, for employers who may have tried to force people into work, who were wanting to self isolate. Lets be clear, the vast majority of the British Public have been following the rules. I want to express my gratitude to them for doing that. Where there are a minority of people who are not following those rules and of course we must take action. Can we talk about furlough as well because labour has of course called for the extension of the furlough scheme to be extended in various different sectors. How would you pay for that . So we do believe it is necessary to have targeted wage support continuing in critical sectors. We think it is very important indeed. Actually, the big question for government is how it will afford the cost of long term unemployment that will occur if we do not have that kind of wage support. Other countries have introduced it. In fact, we are seeing in sectors Like Aerospace for example Companies Looking at the lack of wage support in the uk, comparing it to other countries and deciding they will cutjobs here. We really need government to change course on this. I will ask you again, we know the furlough scheme has cost more than £35 billion. So by extending it, how do you pay for it and what would your proposals be . We dont want a continuation of furlough as it is precisely now. As isaid we furlough as it is precisely now. As i said we are talking about a targeted system, one that is focused on those sectors that are critical to our future, on those sectors that are critical to ourfuture, which on those sectors that are critical to our future, which actually enables to go into work, part time, and then to have the rest of the week backfilled to government. Of course that will cost money and we are not making any bones about that and we want government to sit down with businesses and with trade unions, both of which are calling for this, incidentally, unions, both of which are calling forthis, incidentally, notjust labour. We want them to sit down and work out a programme to deliver the wage support because ultimately, the cost of the wage support could be outweighed by the negative impact on our economy and the negative impact of the cost of. Crosstalk. Would you plan to eventually pay that back . M course, the costs that have been brought to bear during this crisis are adding to the national debt. As and when Interest Rates rise, that will become a major issue for government that will have to be dealt with but you know, the critical issue right now is preserving economic capacity. It is trying to stop our tax base for example getting any smaller. That is what is most important right now. Other countries are focused on retaining that economic capacity, you know, our conservative government really needs to be focused on that also. Thank you indeed for speaking to us and as ever we will be speaking to a representative from the government grant shapps today, at 730. Still to come on breakfast save our seals. Conservationists say dogs, drones and selfie seekers on british beaches are putting the wild creatures under threat. Well bring you more on that from this seal sanctuary in skegness we will find out exactly how they plan to get the seals back into the wild. That is very important for those particular seals. Look at them it looks like they are having fun. Were talking about why are there as well. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. London is said to be catching up with covid 19 hotspots in northern england. Its according to the Mayors Office, which is why sadiq khan has said hell meet Council Leaders today. It comes as data from just a few days ago suggested london was two weeks behind those areas but now its believed the gap has closed further. Heres the opinion of some londoners about the possibility of another lockdown. I think we need to go in a bit sooner because by that time, all of the damage could have been done. Everybodys out like this. It may be too late by then. It has to be done, doesnt it, if that is the way to get out of it. I think it is quite a good idea because i would rather have a lockdown now than at christmastime. Well, the Health Secretary matt hancock says he wont rule out new restrictions in london to slow the viruss spread. Thousands of private renters across london are bracing themselves for court action, now that a temporary ban on evictions has ended. The government introduced the measure to prevent people losing their homes during the pandemic. Its thought tens of thousands of people have been served eviction notices. The National Residential Landlord Association says its encouraged landlords to work with their tenants. For most of this year, many people have felt isolated, which has seen a return of penpals writing to each other. Its United People across the generations, like a 93 year old care home resident from luton who began receiving letters during lockdown from a six year old who lives 200 miles away. Madge and ella are now good friends. I started writing because its kind and its obviously fun. I think its wonderful. Its wonderful. I look forward to her letters and i look forward to writing to her. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Some real problems on the tube board. A broken down train at houston square which is causing problems on the metropolitan line. And various other lines as well. Euston. There are severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow due to a signal failure at west drayton and paddington. A planned closure on the waterloo city line. On the roads, Victoria Street and the western side of Parliament Square have been closed by the police. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. Some changes in the weather this week but for today, it is warm, dry, theres a lot more blue sky and sunshine to come. But we are starting off this morning with some mist and some low cloud. Its a mild start to the day. The sunshine will readily emerge through this morning. We will be keeping it this afternoon. The winds are lighter than they were at the weekend. Highs today of 24, maybe 25 celsius out towards the west. And then overnight tonight, we will keep the clear skies, the light winds, temperatures dropping perhaps as low as nine celsius out towards rural eastern spots, so it is a locally chilly start to the day tomorrow but temperatures could be even higher 25, maybe 26 celsius. As we head through the week, though, it will start to feel a lot more autumnal. From wednesday onwards, we are expecting some wet weather. The wind is going to pick up and the temperatures will really drop off. So feeling a lot cooler from midweek onwards. Thats it. Ill be back in an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Lets return to our top story this morning and the warning that were at a Tipping Point in the coronavirus pandemic, as the governments top medical and scientific advisers prepare to outline the situation facing the uk. We can speak now to the transport secretary grant shapps. Are we in the last chance to learn before another National Lockdown . We will hear from the chief medical officer and chief scientific advisor later this morning because i had a break in briefing with them later earlier. I have a briefing with them later. We are at this Tipping Point where we may need to go further and that is something we would like to avoid. It will be very interesting to hear what the chief medical officer chris whitty and the chief scientific officer patrick valla nce chief scientific officer Patrick Vallance say today and we will all wa nt to vallance say today and we will all want to listen in on that. The likes of michael gove, liz truss and rishi sunak we hearare of michael gove, liz truss and rishi sunak we hear are worried about the impact of coronavirus. The long set of restrictions on the economy was not do you think tighter restrictions are inevitable. not do you think tighter restrictions are inevitable. I read about rows in cabinet, often meetings i attended and i am amazed because actually, a debate is quite proper. It is something you expect. Virus and the measures we need to ta ke virus and the measures we need to take into the economy, enjoying peoples lives are protected and quite simply we want to protect lives and livelihoods. I am not on one side or the other on this debate. It is perfectly right and proper that that takes place and in the end we come to a collective position and there is no, no dramatic secret, you have got to follow the advice of the scientist and that is why they will be setting it out. And oftentimes there is a very difficultjudgement to take which require questions of balance of the most important thing is we need to keep bearing down on this disease. Doing very well that as has happened elsewhere to a greater extent in other parts of europe, have seen that lift up again. We need to keep bearing the pressure down. You said you read about these cabinet arguments all the time but you didnt deny there is one going on this specific issue . Let me nail that for you. A discussion and debate is not as described as arousal. It means that we are quite rightly debating through the points and as you can imagine, everyone is capable of looking at this from every single angle which is quite right. I mean, you should, this is exactly what you should be doing waste on the data being presented. I am all in favour of both to answer that question, we need to bear down on the virus, we are at this Tipping Point as it has been described but we also need to make sure that our kids can go to school. My kids are going to school themselves was not we need to make sure that schools are remaining open and businesses are remaining open and businesses are remaining open otherwise we wont be able to pay for the nhs and all of that. They need to be a balance was not you say it is critical. It seemed to be an important day with the chief medical officer and the chief scientific advisor both addressing the nation at 11 oclock the top if it isnt so important, where is the Prime Ministers today . He will be coming out after that to set out, based on that scientific advice, what should happen next. We have a made this a very scientific lead response is one of the reasons why this country has been successful in finding the very first drug which actually helped in preventing deaths in coronavirus. That scientific approaches the right one to take was not my question was where the Prime Minister was today, . What he wants to do, quite rightly is allow without the proper without the politicians there, the scientists set up the pitch to the country and he will come out after that and speak to the country because of a think it is actually a Welcome Development actually to allow the medical experts, the scientists, to speak on their own in their own language, set the picture out and you will get the leadership which is absolutely, i think, a good way to do things. Also, i think we have seen elsewhere, perhaps more than here, sometimes politicians coming out and doing this, that and the other and you wonder what the scientific races is for that. He will probably get it laid out and thatis will probably get it laid out and that is a good thing. will probably get it laid out and that is a good thing. I want to come back to you on the virus at the moment but on the whereabouts of the Prime Minister and the other thing is where he was on september the 11th. I am sure you are aware of reports in newspapers saying he and his fiancee were in italy for a number of days was up is that true . Not as far as i am aware but i dont track his movements by the hour. Not as far as track his movements by the hour. Not as farasi track his movements by the hour. Not as far as i know. So he wasnt there, then . As i say, i dont know. Not as far as im aware. Butjust to be clear, that would be in a travel corridor in any case. Not as far as im aware. I am sure we will get a bit more detail on that in the coming days was not over the weekend as well, Health Secretary was about the minority of people who were not following the rules when asked about responsibility for where we are at at the moment was not do you think asa at the moment was not do you think as a government that you should take an element of responsibility as well . Some of your own mps are talking about confusing and convoluted rules and fines and talking about mixed messaging. Do you think there is an element of response ability that you as a government should take for not being clear when you have needed to be and thatis clear when you have needed to be and that is why we are, as you say, at a critical junction now . That is why we are, as you say, at a criticaljunction now . that is why we are, as you say, at a criticaljunction now . I think first thing to say is lets be honest about this was not this is not an easy virus to deal with. There is no manualfor dealing easy virus to deal with. There is no manual for dealing with coronavirus and no one has had to experience this. And i think everyone would accept that but asking about the clarity of your messaging on occasions . When we brought in the rule of six, i said at the time, there being various different rules which have overlaid each other and they have become a bit complicated, for example, you could have six people at home but you couldnt have six different families in a restau ra nt. Six different families in a restaurant. We just clarified six different families in a restaurant. Wejust clarified it with the rule of six and i think that does make it more straightforward because of the original rules of complete total lockdown were pretty straightforward to follow. As soon as you try to va ry to follow. As soon as you try to vary from that to get the economy restarted and allow people to go and restarted and allow people to go and restart their lives, it does tend to be more complicated. So yes, of course much making it as straightforward as possible is important but lets not pretend there is some simple thing, if only we did x or y, it would be simple and straightforward, no, this is complicated issue to tackle and we do it using the Scientific Evidence is the best way we possibly can but it is never going to be completely straightforward and clear cut and i get that. It is, im afraid, the reality of the threat that we face but we are all trying our best. The whole country is trying their best to tackle this. So graham brady, the chairman of the 1922 committee has spoken this morning to stop one of the quotes he said was there was a habit of this government to rule by decree when it comes to particular measures to try and restrict the spread of coronavirus was a piece said talk thing about changes to regulations to go back through parliament and be regularly reviewed ona parliament and be regularly reviewed on a monthly basis. Will that happen . Look, living in extra ordinary times, as this interview kind of indicates and the government sometimes has to act extraordinarily quickly. All of that is reported back to parliament, all of that comes under scrutiny in parliament. I have been at the dispatch box myself when i have made changes to, for example, policies to do with the international quarantines. That for example, policies to do with the international quara ntines. That is absolutely the right thing to do. But were not in normal times where we have the sort of luxury of perhaps more time to pass different rules and change things and so there are these powers which enable those rules to change body quickly but i think it is done by and large with the consensus of the british people and most people understand that the pressing nature of this is the reason we have to be acting pretty quickly. You talked about the majority of the british people reacting, as you said, in the right way. Do you think that will happen after this address today . As you say, if it doesnt, are we going back to where we are a few months ago . Im afraid that is the implicit concern. That if people dont respond that we do end up in a situation in which we dont want to be in. We want to make sure that we are able to Keep Services open and keep the economy functioning. Children can still go to school, universities. But that we are still bearing down on the virus and that isa bearing down on the virus and that is a difficult combination of things to achieve. What we have seen is that rise in the number of daily cases reported and a small uplift in the number of people going to hospital. We havent yet seen mortalities and debts are following what we do know that is exactly what has happened in countries like france and particularly in spain where they thought that perhaps initially this was only rising within young people, 17 24 year olds, then saw that has come through to the rest of the population and they have seen the death start to rise. We want to do Everything Possible to prevent that from happening. Yes, this is a Tipping Point. This is a very, very important moment and that is why the chief medical officer chris whitty and sir Patrick Vallance will be out there today explaining the science. I have heard their briefing and is very stark. Ok, in the past half hour or very stark. Ok, in the past half hourorso, it very stark. Ok, in the past half hour or so, it has been announced that uk railways wont be nationalised. The emergency deal set up nationalised. The emergency deal set up during the coronavirus pandemic will continue for the next 18 months. It will cost an awful lot of money, billions of pounds, how will we pay for it . Yes, it is fact that people obviously were not using the trains as much as they were particularly in the height of the coronavirus. It was down to single digit centage of passengers on the railway. It has recovered somewhat, it is about 46 i think with the figures i saw last week. What i put in place today our emergency recovery m easu res in place today our emergency recovery measures for the railways. They can run up to 18 months but actually at the first stage of a long, much needed reform to our ra i lwa ys long, much needed reform to our railways anyway where we are ending the old franchising system but in these contact, putting these Service Contracts in place instead which should mean a Better Service for passengers and a more Reliable Service for passengers as well and better Co Ordination between eve ryo ne better Co Ordination between everyone so this has come about because of coronavirus but in fact, it fulfils one of our manifesto commitments which is to streamline a rather complex system that has become too complex and fragmented on our railways so that has what thatis our railways so that has what that is what has happened today and i think will be welcomed by passengers was not ok but the question is how will we pay for it . As you rightly say, as with anything else with coronavirus, we are having to put the money into it and we are anxious to get a recovery in our ra i lwa ys anxious to get a recovery in our railways but i cant have a situation where the railways are not running and not allowing our key workers to get to work, nhs staff and people indeed having to travel safely with enough capacity to get to theirjobs so i think it is very important that we do put these measures in place and we will see how long they need to run for it in the meantime, the important thing is that people have a reliable, clean, safe service for their trains and thatis safe service for their trains and that is what we are delivering. And on that reliability issue, is there a problem if companies are given a flat fee, where is the incentive for them to do those things you talked about . Improve services . That is why, they are given a flat fee but a very large chunk of that is based on delivering passengers to the locations on time so if they dont deliver, if they dont get people there on time, if they dont run a clea n there on time, if they dont run a Clean Service that people can be confident in, then they wont get that Management Fee so there is a huge incentive, one of the big changes in these management contracts that are put in place today, it was surprising with the old system, you could actually refile to run china trains on timea refile to run china trains on time a huge amount of the time and return profits for doing so. That is what has ended today. Contracts will pay only when they do theirjob and do it really well. Thank you very much for your time today. You are watching bbc breakfast. It isa you are watching bbc breakfast. It is a 742. Sally is here with a bumper look at the sport this morning. Yes, were talking about the golf. We have talked about him before because he likes a big brea kfast, before because he likes a big breakfast, apparently. Protein shakes and all of that. He has altered up to make himself stronger. Bulked up. Brilliant performance overnight from the american Bryson Dechambeau, who can now call himself a major champion after winning the us open at winged foot in new york. The course is notoriously difficult but dechambeau made it look easy, finishing a full six shots ahead of the rest of the field. Hes a fascinating character, widely known as the scientist because he studied physics at university and uses that knowledge to tinker with his game. Hes also massively bulked up recently so that he can hit the ball further, and its really paid off. I think ithink im i think im definitely changing the way people think about the game now. Whether you can do it, that is a whole different situation. There are going to be a lot of people hitting it far. A lot of young guns who are unbelievable players and i think this generation, the next generation is coming up in the gulf, hopefully will see this and say hey, i can do that too. Golf. There was a really good win too for britains georgia hall. She won the portland classic on the lpga tour. She needed a couple of play off holes to get over the line, but its a significant victory for hall as its herfirst in the united states. There was a goalfest in the premier league this weekend. 39 of them in total, and theres still two more games this evening. Liverpool won the big game yesterday. They beat chelsea 2 0 at stamford bridge. Chelsea had a man sent off just before half time, then sadio mane took over for the champions. He got both goals. The second came courtesy of an absolute howler by the chelsea goalkeeper kepa arriza balaga. Elsewhere yesterday, leicester came from behind to beat burnley 4 2. Dennis praet with the pick of the goals. There were wins elsewhere for tottenham and brighton. Rangers, meanwhile, conceded their first goals of the season as they drew 2 2 with hibernian in the scottish premiership. Rangers are still top but boss Steven Gerrard said it was two points dropped. Slovenias Tadej Pogacar is celebrating his 22nd birthday this morning as the youngest winner of the Tour De France in over a century. But as andy swiss reports, there was a different ending to this classic race. An extraordinary champion for these extraordinary times. Behind the mask, Tadej Pogacar. Few had backed him before the race, but after snatching the lead yesterday, today was his victory procession. The leader is never challenged on the final stage. There was even time to pose with a congratulations message. Commentator felicitaciones, tadej. But other Tour De France traditions were missing. Covid meant no sipping champagne for the riders and no hordes of spectators. Some cheered from the roadside but as the riders whizzed past the parisian landmarks, the usual crowds were conspicuously absent. They missed a thrilling finish. The final stage going to irelands sam bennett. Bennetts going to win but in the pack behind him was pogacar, safely across the line to become the youngest champion since 1904. Tomorrow, he turns 22 not a bad birthday present. And after a race which many thought might never happen, for the organisers, simply having a winner will be the biggest victory of all. Andy swiss, bbc news. And exeter chiefs are through to the semi finals of rugby unions champions cup for the first time in their history. The premiership leaders scored five tries to comfortably beat northampton saints 38 15 at sandy park. Theyll face four time champions toulouse in last four next weekend. I told you there was plenty of sport to get through a busy one and that report on the Tour De France as well straight from the sport to the weather because if you are enjoying sort of balmy temperatures at the moment, matt can tell us it will change this week and the big code may be coming out . It will indeed good morning. The autumn equinox is tomorrow and the weather will be certainly taking its cue as we switch from some summer warmth. Temperatures over the next couple of days above where they should be for this time of year, shown on this chart. The orange shows where temperatures are higher than they normally would be, what is around average and blue is where we see temperatures below. Look at what happens through the week. Things build up tomorrow but then by the end of the week the blue is widely on the chart, an indicator not only will be c temperatures dropped markedly, ten or 11 degrees for some, it will be cooler than we would expect at this stage in september. A few days ago we start onafine september. A few days ago we start on a fine day, lovely seeing you here field a lovely scene a short time ago in leeds, misty in places and dense fog around across parts of central southern england, into parts of scotland. That will clear by mid to late morning. Most places things long sunny spells to take you through the day. Clouded times over Northern Ireland spreading to the isle of man, west cumbria, more clout on the north and western scotland. Sunny spells for many. Orkney, shetland, the hebrides, a few splashes of rain through the afternoon. Temperatures above where they should be, maybe 20 degrees across moray firth. 2425 in the south east corner of england. A fine evening for the most part but the patchy rain in the northern scotland replaced by something heavier and more persistent through tonight, rain hammering against the windows as the breeze picks up across the hebrides was not mostly a dry night and mistand hebrides was not mostly a dry night and mist and fog returning. Bridges into single figures for one or two soa into single figures for one or two so a little bit on the fresh side for some to start tomorrow morning. More cloud around tomorrow and dense fog for parts of england and wales. They will gradually clear. More cloud for scotland, Northern Ireland, later in the day across western scotland in the western Northern Ireland, sunburst heavy rain and the breeze freshening up and maybe a few showers through the west of the afternoon across west wales but the further east you are, a dry and sunny day and temperatures picking 25 or 26 across parts of eastern scotland. Feeling warm across the east certainly compared with what we saw through the weekend and last week. Through the night, tuesday into wednesday, the weather front with outbreaks of rain pushing southwards and that brings a contrast into wednesday morning. Some light warmth holding on into the south east corner. It could even get to frost levels across parts of scotland, Northern Ireland as we start wednesday morning. For most places, dry. Rain spreading east across england and wales as we go through wednesday. Another western system is set to push in, bringing cold airand we system is set to push in, bringing cold air and we will see wet and windy weather at times, from a selection of the forecast for the nation, we will see those temperatures drop quite markedly. Inverness from 15 nine. Maidstone, 2513 inverness from 15 nine. Maidstone, 25 13 on inverness from 15 nine. Maidstone, 25 13 on friday. It is out with the summer shorts and in with the autumn jumpers. Back to you both. The summer shorts and in with the autumnjumpers. Back to you both. It had to end sometime, didnt it . See you later. The emmys took place overnight in a virtual ceremony that was dubbed the pandemmys by its host, jimmy kimmel. Among the winners was the hbo drama succession, which was created by the british writer jesse armstrong. Lets have a look at some of the highlights. As you can see, we have taken every safety precaution and these are tonights nominees. Hello, everybody and the enemy goes to. Catherine ohara eugene levy daniel levy daniel levy schiitts creek now we need to sanitise the envelope. The enemy goes to. Regina king, watchmen. This is so freaking weird the emmy for Outstanding Drama Series goes to. Succession. Such a very nice moment and it is very sad not to be with the cast and some of the crew to share it. Really different, isnt it . Lets get more on this from the entertainmentjournalist caroline feraday, who is in los angeles. Hello to you. I was fascinated and i kind of liked the new approach. Did you think . And how do they do it . Kind of liked the new approach. Did you think . And how do they do mm was a bit of an experiment because this is the first awards ceremony, the first of awards season which kicks off as you get into the new year so the first time they have tried it out and they did it in a virtual way. They had 130 cameras in ten countries, cameras in all of these starss homes and it mustve been quite surrealfor these starss homes and it mustve been quite surreal for them to be broadcasting live and again, you know, you were always watching your face, arent you, or theirfaces when they have that moment of disappointment and the camera would have been right in theirface. Normally these things are a complete scrum and busy and there is a red carpet and everybody is in there and a ton of people inside the microsoft andjimmy kimmel as you said called it the pandemmys. He was doing a monologue to an empty theatre, no feedback. But they had a bit of canned laughter and try to keep the atmosphere there and to be honest, they did a really good job of making it run smoothly. And getting all of the winners in every different scenario. Absolutely. And the logistics are quite something tell us about what you make of the main winners . Well, i mean, it is an interesting year because over the last few years at the emmys, the two big winners have been game of thrones and veep and neither of those shows a new right now, they both finished. It really opened the doorfor some other shows both finished. It really opened the door for some other shows to come through and be nominated and stand a chance of winning. It was interesting because the canadian comedy show that one the comedy award is on its sixth season, it has been around for a long time and in some ways it has been a sort of slow burner hit because of lot down, people have found it on netflix and they have sort of scrolled through and it has become a sort of word of mouth hit and suddenly in its sixth season it is winning awards, same as succession, not on its first season by any means and one of those shows that it really does make those were really the sort of two clear winners of the night and very deserving winners they were as well. Do you think this is the future of the awards ceremonies . It will have to be for a while, isnt it . I cannot see that the forthcoming awards season is going to be any different to this. You have the Golden Globes coming up, the saga was coming up and of course the saga was coming up and of course the oscars, the big one, but i think they will have looked at this is a bit ofan they will have looked at this is a bit of an experiment to see if they could do it. Jimmy kimmel has hosted the oscars before so they would maybe be looking at him and saying 0k, maybe be looking at him and saying ok, this is somebody who could handle this very bizarre experience. There were a few stars who turned up ina there were a few stars who turned up in a socially distance way and they we re in a socially distance way and they were miles apart on the stage and they sort of had a few people there in person but mostly, it was in peoples homes which i guess we are a bit used to seeing you. We love it. Q. So much for your time, caroline. Thank you. Its normally fans of premier League Football clubs who get to see south american imports bamboozling defenders with their speed, strength and impressive hairstyles. But over the weekend, you could have witnessed something very similar in the West Yorkshire League Premier division. This is oscar the alpaca, who invaded the pitch during a match between carlton athletic and ilkley town. Look at him so fast hed escaped from a nearby farm and play had to be stopped for 15 minutes while he was tempted back into his field. We said earlier they think it is alpaca, it is now. It is Getting Better. Were joined now by oscar and his ownerjill howell, along with the Carlton Athletic Club chairman john flynn. Morning. Lovely to have you on the programme and it looks like a fantastic morning there. John, lets get you to describe the situation. We have seen the video of oscar arriving so talk us through from your perspective. Yet, the game was in progress and suddenly there was a large brown alpaca in the centre circle. Everyone was really pleased about it and laughing. After about ten minutes, that sort of wore a little bit thin. Referee asked me what i was going do about it. So i asked him if he had a lasso and he obviously didnt. It came up and down the pitch and then he got bored and he went on to the cricket pitch. All of the kids loved it. It was fun. And then eventually, we rang the people from the farm shop and they, after a kick or two from him, they, after a kick or two from him, they eventually managed to shepherd him back into the enclosure. Where he is quite happy now this morning, iam glad he is quite happy now this morning, i am glad to see. Jill, tell us about oscar. He clearly likes playing football. He absolutely adores football any kind of activity, any ball activity, he is always at the top fence and he watches from start to finish. He absolutely does enjoy his football. Has he played it before . Pardon . Has he played football before . Yes, he has played football, we have had several footballs in the field which have been left by the footballers themselves and he does like to have a little bit of a kick about. He does. Like i said, he is such a friendly, friendly animals and he loves people and he loves ball games. Jill, how did you hear about your now very famous escapade . Right. Someone had rung the fast farm shop from the cricket club and one of the assistants julie farm shop from the cricket club and one of the assistantsjulie came around and knocked on my door and said oh oscar has gone into the enclosure of the foot of field so obviously, had to sort of like gather up obviously, had to sort of like gatherupa obviously, had to sort of like gather up a few of our farmhands and entice him in with alpaca food football. And eventually, he got back into his own enclosure. John, so many questions will he be your mascot . Will he play for you . He has a good turn of pace well, that is exactly what i thought, actually we we re very exactly what i thought, actually we were very impressed he had a lot of good movement, loads of pace, a little bit of aggression, and very elusive, yeah. We have training tomorrow night and he has been invited already. So he could be a very good addition to the squad laughter. Hopefully you have a kit that will fit him. I understand you gave oscar the alpaca of the match award. Thats right. What happens in the game afterwards . Unfortunately, he did not do as a lot of favours, actually. I think the lads were distracted. When he came on it was 00 distracted. When he came on it was 0 0 and we ended up losing 2 0 in the last ten minutes unfortunately. But yeah, he is a very welcome attraction so far. We have never had such fame, actually you know what, it is lovely and i love you have taken it in such good humour. Jill, he is in his field now and he has a few friends but he is happy to leave them behind when people goes to play football, is he . Oh, yes. As you can see at the moment, he is with his friend, that is henny, and obviously, he spends most of his time up here at the top fence and thatis time up here at the top fence and that is all he ever does. Day in, day out, looking for people and he just loves his home phone he loves having his photo taken and he isa loves having his photo taken and he is a crowdpleaser. If he is a crowdpleaser, can you go over and have a word with him and see if we can get him close up on camera . Can you feed him or give him water or. . Oh, yes. I have got some food. Oh now then. Do you want me to feed him . Go for it. Who is his mate . Now then oh he is a very beautiful alpaca. And a very hungry one jill, thank you. Its breakfast time thank you very much good to see time thank you very much good to see you you are quite literally cani can i do my alpaca joke one more time . No. They think its alpaca. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Our headlines today. Were at a critical point in the pandemic. Thats the warning from englands chief medical officer who says coronavirus numbers are going in the wrong direction and just as that advice drops we are life in the university of hull where 14,000 students have come from all over the country to start education again today. What will it look like for them and crucially how will they stop that leading to a surge in infections . Good morning. Under curfew and under pressure. I am in whitley bay where hospitality venues like this and thousands of those up and down the coast and beyond are facing tighter restrictions. What will it mean for businesses already on the brink . Theyve gone from talent show contestants to global superstardom now little mix are on the look out for the next big thing. And get ready for a big weather turnaround. Starting the week with summer warmth and finishing with wind, rain and an autumn chill. Its monday the 21st of september. Our top story. The spiralling numbers of coronavirus cases in the uk will be laid out in a live address to the nation later this morning. Professor chris whitty and sir Patrick Vallance the uks chief health and science advisers will warn that we are at a critical point in the pandemic and face a very challenging winter. Our Political Correspondent Jessica Parker is in westminster. Jess, what is the government hoping to achieve with this briefing . It takes place at 11 oclock this morning. I think it would be a reiteration and reinforcement of some of the stern warnings ministers have been making about the concerns about the rising number of coronavirus cases and also concerns that it could lead to a significant rise in the number of deaths by the end of october. It is very unusual to see chris whitty and sir patrick valla nce to see chris whitty and sir Patrick Vallance on their own doing a downing street press briefing without a minister present but thats what they will do today. As i say, i think its to reinforce that message, and its a message that has been put forward again this morning by transport secretary grant shapps. We havent yet seen mortalities and deaths following but we do know thats exactly whats happened in countries like france and particularly in spain where they thought that perhaps initially this was only rising within young people, 17 24 year olds. They then saw that come through to the rest of the population and they have seen deaths start to rise. We want to do Everything Possible to prevent that from happening, so, yes, this is the Tipping Point, this is a very important moment, and that is why the chief medical officer, chris whitty, and sir Patrick Vallance, will be out there today explaining the science. I have heard their briefing and its very stark. And i think the warnings are being from ministers that if the situation doesnt improve then further restrictions, possibly nationwide restrictions, possibly nationwide restrictions, although not a full lockdown, could be introduced. I think one of the reasons they are getting the scientists to come out today, is if there is frustration in some quarters with the government, for example in its handling over testing, its a way of saying, you dontjust testing, its a way of saying, you dont just need to testing, its a way of saying, you dontjust need to listen to us, listen to the scientists and look at the data. Labour has been responding this morning as well. Labour has picked up on the issue of testing, it was well documented last week, major frustrations with people trying to get hold of tests. The head of the test and trace saying they hadnt forecast a surge in demand there would be in the early autumn and labour shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds said they must sort it out as a priority. We are absolutely at a critical point and we are very absolutely at a critical point and we are very concerned we absolutely at a critical point and we are very concerned we have absolutely at a critical point and we are very concerned we have seen problems build up with testing in particular over the summer and we we re particular over the summer and we we re really particular over the summer and we were really pushing government to get a were really pushing government to geta grip were really pushing government to get a grip on those issues. It seems like we still have problems with the testing regime now and of course we are at this concerning position where it looks like infections are rising, so we need above all government to get a grip on the testing system, make sure its working and do all we can to prevent the need for additional localised restrictions because of course they do have a very significant cost. L question you asked of the transport secretary grant shapps in the last hour once, secretary grant shapps in the last houronce, ok, the secretary grant shapps in the last hour once, ok, the two chief scientists are coming out to present their findings but where scientists are coming out to present theirfindings but where is scientists are coming out to present their findings but where is the Prime Minister. Transport secretary grant shapps said the Prime Minister would come out very soon to set out what will happen next. Ministers will be weighing up, as they have been all along, what to do in terms of the balance of risk, in trying to get the economy going while also trying to get a lid on the virus. It seems like Boris Johnson trying to get a lid on the virus. It seems like borisjohnson will come out with his conclusions before too long. Jessica parker, thank you. The childrens comissioner for england has told bbc breakfast that theres growing support among parents for a two week half term this october. Anne longfield says one in every 20 children in england is currently staying at home because of the coronavirus pandemic and that action must be taken to ensure that schools can stay open for as long as possible. I think the parents i have talked to about this, that makes sense. They know half term is coming up and to extend that makes sense. It wont feel there is a disruption on the same scale and it will allow children to know its very temporary. I think what is dangerous, if we let children lose confidence in the schools being open and their ability to learn. Taxpayers will continue to cover rail compa nys financial losses for another 18 months after the government struck a new emergency deal to keep trains moving during the pandemic. It follows a similar deal at the start of the lockdown, which has so far cost around £3. 5 billion. Our transport correspondent tom burridge is at waterloo station. Im sure you are listening to the transport secretary talk about this and how it will be paid for. Good morning. Welcome to the countrys busiest train station, but that relatively quiet scene, a very quiet scene, really, is why these emergency deals between the Train Companies and government are needed. The government has agreed to continue to cover the losses on the ra i lwa ys continue to cover the losses on the railways for another 18 months, a significant period of time, since march when the pandemic began. Small passenger numbers on the railways created a shortfall of around £3. 5 billion. That massive bill has fallen to us, the taxpayer. During that 18 month period to the government also wants to bring in broader reforms on the railways. And franchising is out. The government is looking at bringing in concession type contracts. Thats already in place on the london overground in the capital. Under a franchise a Train Company could win big or lose big if passenger numbers went up or down. In a concession, any profit or loss falls to the government body backing the railway. Remember the debate we had pre covered mic, about whether the railways should be nationalised or not . Well, we are moving towards a more nationalised type model this morning but of course, the pandemic is everything right now and it affects passenger numbers and of course that massive financial bill for the government. The debate we had pre covid. Financial bill for the government. The debate we had precovid. Tom burridge, thank you. Prince charles has warned that the Climate Crisis will dwarf the impact of coronavirus. In a recorded message, released to mark the start of climate week, the prince of wales said the pandemic gave a window of opportunity to reset the economy for a more sustainable future. Billions of people around the world are waiting and longing for concerted action to right the balance of this planet that we have so rashly disrupted. Millions of younger employees of cou ntless com pa nies and corporations desperate for action, not more words. You are watching bbc breakfast. What are you laughing at . you are watching bbc breakfast. What are you laughing at . I was looking round there to check matt was at the screen but it looked like i wasnt paying attention laughter i was just checking he was there. You can bring us that foggy news. Ican indeed. I can indeed. Autumn weather on the way. Mist and fog across parts of east wales, central and southern england and Central Scotland, clearing through the morning. Lots of sunshine around for many this afternoon. But more developing across northern scotland later. Cloud thick enough through the hebrides, north of caithness and sutherland, into orkney and shetland to bring stiffening rain. Temperatures of 12 14. Could get to 20 in the sunshine. Still pleasant across much of scotland, even with a bit more clout this afternoon. Some cloud spreading through the isle of man to west lancashire and cumbria. And also a bit towards the west of wales will stop but much of england and wales has blue skies this afternoon, like wind and temperatures of 24 or 25 across the south east. Could get warmer there tomorrow but a pleasant enough evening and overnight to come for most. However, patchy rain in the north of scotland replaced by something heavier and more persistent in the morning. Temperatures down to single figures in some rural parts. The rain shifting through tuesday and wednesday and that will bring a big change. Going from summer at the start of the week with highs of 26 tomorrow and by the end of the week we will be lucky to get 14 in many parts with a big change on the way. More in half an hour. Universities are welcoming new and old students onto campuses this week for the First Time Since the lockdown. Social distancing measures are in place but naturally the movement of so many people around the uk is causing concern. Jayne mccubbin is at Hull University this morning. Good morning. We are at hull and you know that, not just good morning. We are at hull and you know that, notjust because of this poster over my shoulder, but because of the green telephone boxes, unique to hull. This is one of five marquees dotted all around the campus to make sure everybody can still socialise and be together in the fresh air. They have outdoor concerts ear, an outdoor cinema, the night club is open, the bars are still open. I have lost my microphone come with me to leeds while i find my microphone, to see how people are reacting to students being back there. Forjodie. I was so sure it wasnt going to fit in. And forjosh and nathan. Today is independence day. Their first day of a new life in leeds. Oh, i cant wait. Instead of counting down for it for three months, ive been counting down for it for six ever since our exams got cancelled, so ijust cant wait for it to really get started now. Ive been waiting for years for this you want to get rid of him . Thats it no, we will miss him. | think. Really excited, yeah. Shes going to hopefully do well. How many people will you be living with . I just live with three others. The problem is, theyre your bubble now. Mm. What if you dont get on with them . I have a group chat with them already, im already chatting with them, its going to be ok. Its going to be ok when theyre that age, theyre just eternally optimistic, arent they, so. There are nearly 40,000 students moving in to leeds this week, this a city which hasjust recorded its best ever increase in Covid Infections. For families like these, there are more than the usual worries as they prepare to wave their kids off. Yeah, theres a little bit of concern but they seem to have a lot of things in place around here which are safety oriented. Youre reassured by that . Yeah, i think its pretty reassuring, yeah. Could do with having a bit more teaching time but i dont know whether thats going to happen. Its a bit annoying because its harder to meet people if youre trying to meet people in a course, you cant go to lectures and sit next to new people. Sebastians mum says shes packed all the essentials. Hand gel, lots of masks everywhere we go, as you can tell, hes not wearing a mask. Laughs. So much of what happens now will depend on students following all the rules and regulations. Mohammed tells me the council is working with bars and pubs to make sure they police their venues. People have been given information and if somebody isnt obviously doing their bit, isnt playing their part, then we could actually take further action which could actually lead to closure of the premises. The worry isntjust about what happens in bars and pubs but in homes and halls. Aston tells me most students are complying. Yes, obviously been impacted by the new rule with six people, so you cant really plan to do big things, you have to keep it quite low key. More than 19,000 fines have been issued for non covid compliance so far. David says bars like his wont be the problem. Id like to think everybody will be really on it. Normally at this time of year, you would get house parties on in every house on every street within probably a mile radius of us. Any so far . Theres certainly been a few. Getting infection rates back down requires everyone to act. Matt hancock yesterday warned, follow the covid rules or they will get tougher. This is going to be a freshers week like no freshers week that has gone before. This is the president of the Student Union here. Good morning, phoebe. Be honest, what was your freshers week like when you started way back when, can you remember . can vaguely remember you told our producer that the only thing missing this year is the drinking and the parties, which is a bit of a big deal. It is, but there have still been lots of really exciting things going on in the last few weeks. In terms of the drinking side of it, i guess a lot of that still happens, so normally we would have a massive Welcome Party in our Student Union nightclub. It has now turned into a bar. There were still a party but everybody was sat down and socially distance. Safety first, absolutely. People still had a really good time and it was still really good fun. You are missing out on getting up and dancing but a lot of the fun things that make university what it is are still there. It is still ticking along but the end is important bit is making sure stu d e nts important bit is making sure students dont get really poorly, and it is where they potentially ta ke and it is where they potentially take the infection to in the community that is the problem. Yes and so far we have had a lot of people still being on campus and still spending a lot of their time here. Sol still spending a lot of their time here. So i think thats a good thing. Im encouraged by that. One last thing before we bring a fresh in to chat to, if a student gets poorly, the government wants stu d e nts to poorly, the government wants students to stay here rather than go home. How do you feel about that . Students to stay here rather than go home. How do you feel about that7m makes me a bit worried. I am concerned for students Mental Health more than anything but i know we health more than anything but i know we have put everything we can in place to make sure students are going to be ok. Lets chat to one of the freshers. Good morning, how are you . Good morning, im fine, thank you. Tell us about your first week. My first week has been quite fun, hull have put on quite a lot of activities for you to do so you have never got the chance to be bored, they have had quizzes, little icebreaker sessions. So you have made friends . Yeah. And you have had a party . Yeah. Does it feel safe and our people being responsible . think they are, everybody but has been on campus, and with the sanctuary bar, but had a quiz night, they handled it incredibly well, they handled it incredibly well, they make sure you got to your table, they had the Table Service, so not having to have any contact with the bar staff and i think they have done really well and everyone else has took it quite well. Ok then. Most important, your mum is watching. Shes probably crying. Give her a wave. Hi, mum. Are you eating ok . I am. There is a lot of worry. The union that represents lecturers says they have done a survey and just this weekend they we re survey and just this weekend they were published but said 57 of people that were questioned in the cities and towns where universities are said they believe the students coming back could lead to an increase in infections. Thats absolutely not what anybody wants, so all eyes will be on places like this to make sure that what is going on here is safe. Back to you. We will watch it closely on bbc brea kfast. Will watch it closely on bbc breakfast. Thank you very much. You may have been watching this morning thinking a selfie with a seal sounds like a harmless bit of fun. But conservationists say the animals are becoming increasingly stressed and threatened by their contact with humans. The warning comes after a long hot summer in which the uk coastline attracted record numbers of visitors. Lets speak now to matt yeadon. Hes the director of the natureland seal sanctuary in skegness. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Tell us about those seals in the pool behind you, they are rescue seals, arent they . They are, they are all rescue seals, born this year around july and august time, so theyre in their final stages of rehabilitation and then they will be released back into the wild. What has been going on and why would some of them have had to have been rescued . It is a mixed bag, some of them would have been pups born and abandoned by their mothers for whatever reason. Some of them will have come to us a bit later in their life, after three or four weeks they are weaned from their mothers, so not very long, and may have struggled to get used to live on their own have struggled to get used to live on theirown and have struggled to get used to live on their own and some may have come to us as well because they are poorly. Thats why we are here and why we have our seal hospital so they get better and feel well again. You are looking after them. We mentioned in the introduction about people taking selfies with seals and we mentioned earlier in the programme about the problem with drones. What sort of things have been happening is people have been going to the coast and getting too close to these animals . Well, as you can see they are adorable animals so it is hard not to go close to them but it is very much encouraged to avoid getting anywhere near. They get quite scared easily as inquisitive as they are so if you get too close they are stressing out, panicking, and if they are already unwell and needing our help, dashing back into the sea to exhaust themselves further will not help. Drones flying over colonies as well isa drones flying over colonies as well is a big issue, certainly in the winter, im sure they have many Staff Members policing it where they can but im sure it still happens now where people will take a drone thatis now where people will take a drone that is not licensed and not authorised to fly over the colony, ta ke authorised to fly over the colony, take it too low and you could be stressing out quite literally thousands of seals while they are in the midst of giving birth, giving birth already, or nursing pups as well so its not a good combination. You say they are adorable and you are absolutely right, as we watch them. One of the real concerns is that they are disturbed and then they abandon their babies. Yeah, exactly. They only have three weeks with their babies before the babies are on their own in the wild anyway so those three weeks are crucial for gaining weight and maintaining their health. Those three weeks, if they are interrupted, it can potentially speu are interrupted, it can potentially spell disaster for the pups and sometimes for the mums as well. Seals are quite curious animals, they can often swim up to you in the sea. What is the golden rule. If they notice you you are a bit too close . They notice you you are a bit too close . Well, they will approach you. Keep yourfingers to close . Well, they will approach you. Keep your fingers to yourself, that would be the absolute golden rule because they bite and it is like a rottweiler biting hold of you when they get hold of you so not a pleasa nt they get hold of you so not a pleasant feeling when they get hold, so keep your hands to yourself. If they approach, dont panic, it is not a terrible monster coming for you either. But just not a terrible monster coming for you either. Butjust maintain a distance if you can and appreciate them from a distance, definitely. What is going to happen to the seals behind you . Are you going to try and get them back out into the sea . They will all be released back into the sea, they are doing quite well now, they are getting up there await that we aim to achieve. We try and get them all to about 30 kilos in weight before being released and we are getting quite close to release weight for some of them so in a month or so they might head back into the sea. We have already have a live alpaca on breakfast this morning will stop what will these quys morning will stop what will these guys be eating later this morning . Lots of fish, sardines, mackerel, herring, sprats, we try and give them a good variety of fish. They eat around 2 3 kilos a day each so they will be piling it down and having a lot more to eat today than me. They have to wait until ten oclock, is that right . Ten oclock is when we will feed them first, yes. They are lovely, thank you so much. It was a quieter weekend than normalfor some people in north east england. Pubs, bars and restaurants had to close early as part of the new coronavirus measures. Nina is in whitley bay to tell us more. Beautiful in skegness where we have been. Beautiful outside in whitley bay but beautiful inside equally. Have a look at this, this is called the spanish city, anybody who knows this stretch of coastline will know this stretch of coastline will know this area well, built in 1910, and you can imagine the dances that took place on this beautiful floor and the weddings that should have taken place on this beautiful floor this summer. But a place on this beautiful floor this summer. Buta bit like place on this beautiful floor this summer. But a bit like everywhere else in the country, covid restrictions have meant life its been very different and in the north east things got even more different over the weekend because those extra lockdown measures came into place. Lets go through them just to remind us. For the 800 restau ra nts a nd just to remind us. For the 800 restaurants and 1500 pubs and bars across the north east they had to shut at ten oclock on friday, they we re shut at ten oclock on friday, they were not allowed to reopen until 5am and it was Table Service only. Similar curfews already in place in bolton and more will be brought in in parts of lancashire and the Liverpool City Region from tomorrow. Reports that similar measures are being called for in the cities of leeds and london, and it means that as of tomorrow around 10 , so around 37,000 pubs around england will have these curfew measures in place. That is massive for hospitality. It has been the longest few months for them. And a warning from the industry that 900,000 jobs are now at stake, especially with the furlough scheme coming to an end next month. What does it mean for bars and next month. What does it mean for bars a nd restau ra nts next month. What does it mean for bars and restaurants and pubs in the city centres because that is where they are feeling it most . We went out in newcastle on saturday night to find out. It has been very quiet, not like the usual saturday night, you have the one crowd in the whole city here. Its just a case of seeing the city very different to how it normally is. It feels a bit strange on a saturday night, yeah. We have been three recessions, we have been through lots of different sort of stages. In 22 years we have seen it all. So really now we are just basically playing it by ear, rolling with the punches, but we are not majorly worried. It is different compared to usual but definitely it has been a good atmosphere and everybody is sticking to the rules. It has been decent, good night. Everybody has been applying to it, doing what they should do, and youve got to keep the local businesses in business, havent you . It was like, oh, god, anxiety was can we go it was like, oh, god, anxiety was can we go somewhere . Have we got to have a mask . It has been quite relaxing because you wont get the hang over after 10pm. So thats the only benefit really thats the story for whitley bay where nina has been this morning for us. Still to come on breakfast. What did we say . It is not that much now, it isjust uncomfortable, i just wish it never existed. Little mix have spent nearly ten years in the full glare of social media. You can hear how perrie, jade, leigh anne and jesy are learning to deal with its darker side. Thats injust over 20 minutes. You feel that a while back, didnt you . Backin you . Back in february, which is why we we re back in february, which is why we were much closer than we would be had we done it now. That interview had we done it now. That interview had to be held back for a few months. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. London is said to be catching up with covid 19 hotspots in northern england. Its according to the Mayors Office which is why sadiq khan has said hell meet Council Leaders today. It comes as data from just a few days ago suggested london was two weeks behind those areas but now its believed the gap has closed further. Well the Health Secretary, matt hancock says he wont rule out new restrictions in london to slow the viruss spread. Thousands of private renters across london are bracing themselves for court action, now that a temporary ban on evictions has ended. The government introduced the measure to prevent people losing their homes during the pandemic. Its thought tens of thousand of people have been served eviction notices. The National Residential Landlord Association says its encouraged landlords to work with their tenants. For most of this year, many people have felt isolated which has seen a return of penpals writing to each other. Its United People across the generations like a 93 year old from luton, who began receiving letters during lockdown from a six year old who lives 200 miles away. Madge and ella are now good friends. I started writing because its kind and its obviously fun. I think its wonderful. Its wonderful. I look forward to her letters and i look forward to writing to her. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Because of a broken down train at Euston Square this morning, theres no service clockwise on the circle line, no District Line between High Street Kensington and edgware road, no metropolitan line between baker street and aldgate, and no eastbound hammersmith city line. Seperately, there are minor delays on Tfl Rail Services into paddington following a signal failure. And the waterloo and ciry line is closed. Apart from that its a really good service this morning and on the roads, Victoria Street and the western side of Parliament Square have been closed by the police due to a protest. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. Some changes in the weather this week but for today, it is warm, dry, theres a lot more blue sky and sunshine to come. But we are starting off this morning with some mist and some low cloud. Its a mild start to the day. The sunshine will readily emerge through this morning. We will be keeping it this afternoon. The winds are lighter than they were at the weekend. Highs today of 24, maybe 25 celsius out towards the west. And then overnight tonight, we will keep the clear skies, the light winds, temperatures dropping perhaps as low as nine celsius out towards rural eastern spots, so it is a locally chilly start to the day tomorrow but temperatures could be even higher 25, maybe 26 celsius. As we head through the week, though, it will start to feel a lot more autumnal. From wednesday onwards, we are expecting some wet weather. The wind is going to pick up and the temperatures will really drop off. So feeling a lot cooler from midweek onwards. Vanessa feltz has more on the possibility of a second lockdown in london as Covid Infection rates rise. You can tune in via your smartspeaker, dab Digital Radio or 94. 9fm. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. The Prime Minister has been accused of failing to include the leaders of the welsh, scottish and Northern Irish governments in his discussions about the coronavirus pandemic. The first minister of scotland says she cant remember the last time she spoke to borisjohnson while Mark Drakeford the first ministerfor wales says hes talked to the pm just once in the past four months. Hejoins us now from cardiff. Thank you forjoining us. Lets talk about this briefing we know we will get to later from the chief scientific adviser and chief medical officer talking about being at a critical point with the pandemic. Whats your response . We listen very carefully to what it said today. Our own chief medical officer will have been speaking to chris whitty last week. We will apply whatever advice week. We will apply whatever advice we get to the particular circumstances we face here in wales. There is talk of various ways of dealing with it. Could you see and would you discuss a lockdown across wales for example . At the moment thatis wales for example . At the moment that is not our preferred option. We have some real difficulties in the south east corner of wales, but in lots of wales the virus was still falling last week. What would be right for caerphilly would not be right for caerphilly would not be right at this moment for ceredigion. You have two local lockdowns, so are you looking at perhaps extending that to other areas and are the areas you are particularly concerned about . We will be talking about that today. Other local Authority Areas adjacent to the ones where we have taken local adjacent to the ones where we have ta ken local measures adjacent to the ones where we have taken local measures because neither the virus nor the way people live their lives respective administrative boundaries. If we need to take further action it will again be ni targeted local basis to deal with local targets. It will be on deal with local targets. It will beona deal with local targets. It will be on a targeted. We dont rule out National Measures but at the moment it would not be proportionate for the state of the virus in many parts of wales. So you are looking at it today, is it likely they will be extended to . I dont want to say it is likely because we look at the figures every day and get advice from all our local teams every day we never rule it out, it is actively considered in every single 24 hour period and we will do that again this morning. There are different rules in different parts of the uk and there are local lockdowns as well. Do you think the public are confused by the messages . well. Do you think the public are confused by the messages . I think six months into coronavirus, people in wales have become far more used to getting the news about the decisions in wales from the Welsh Government and from welsh news sources. I dont want to say people dont find it confusing when there are different messages in the air, but on the whole i think six months into it, people find it easier to know where to go to get Accurate Information about what is happening in their nation and in their locality than they did in april and may. Do you think people are becoming complacent and is that why we have seen areas where it is spreading faster . I think the majority of people in wales continue to scrupulously observe the rules and do everything they can to help. I think some people over the summer have let their guard to go down. They took the signs things were Getting Better as a sign this was all over. Its not all over and when we dont do the simple things, reducing the number of people we see, spending as little time us weekend in the company of others, social distancing and hand washing, all those simple things, when people stop doing that, undoubtedly the virus finds it easier to spread again. We know in england there will be introduced a fine of £1000 for breaking rules. Will you do the same . I will think about that. I am in favour of education, conversation and persuasion. If those things dont work, if there are people who deliberately and persistently flout the things everyone else is doing, then measures probably have to be taken but then measures probably have to be ta ken but its then measures probably have to be taken but its my last and not my first one. We mentioned earlier that you have not spoken to the Prime Minister. We know we will be told we are ata minister. We know we will be told we are at a critical point. When do you expect to speak to him . We had a meeting on saturday with michael gove and the chief ministers of Northern Ireland, scotland and myself. That was very useful. I am hopeful there will be opportunities to speak to the Prime Minister earlier this week. What i want to see is not sporadic, ad hoc, hastily arranged arrangements and conversations but a regular and reliable river of contact between the four administrations as we go into the perilous weeks ahead. Mark dra keford, into the perilous weeks ahead. Mark drakeford, the welsh first minister, thank you. Heres some much needed good news for you. Its about a little boy called ethan, who is living with a range of severe disabilities after he was born atjust 24 weeks. Ethan was unable to properly communicate with his family for the first nine years of his life but now thanks to technology and the support of his friends and family thats beginning to change. Before we meet ethan and his parents, lets some more details about his remarkable progress so far. Simon spark reports. Say it. Hiya i. Hello, dad. Aw, hi, dad. This is ethan. Hes nine years old and needs round the clock care. They all sing happy birthday to you. Though he has got Cerebral Palsy dystonia, chronic lung disease, he is on oxygen 24 7, he has spasms, Global Mobility delay so he cant walk, talk but he is a happy little boy. Thats the thing, hes very, very happy. What may not be so obvious is that despite a body that completely restricts him, ethans brain is perfectly ok. The doctors have said hell have a high iq so he definitely understands, he can definitely hear, he can definitely see. Are you all right . Do you want the news on . He loves bbc news all the time. You change the channel from bbc news to itv or any other news and youve got a war on. You know what i mean, it is definitely bbc news. Give me two kisses for the news. He kisses lips twice. But its only now that hell be able to prove what he can do using just his eyes and a computer screen. This is just to find the odd one out. Meow. Good boy. Using Eye Tracking Technology, for the first time in his life ethans playing his own games and making his own decisions. Its still mind blowing at the minute. You know, its a lot to take in. Weve only had it for, what, three weeks at the minute, so its still a lot to take in. But the stuff he can do, wow, itsjust mind blowing. It really is mind blowing. Its only been possible after the Community Rallied round to raise the money needed during lockdown, helped by his carer susan. Come on then, which one is the odd one out . It was really, really lovely to think that everyone was going through this hard time and it kind of gave us something to focus on, getting this money together. This has given the family hope for ethans future. After a time when his mum sarah face the possibility of ethan having no future at all. He came at 24 weeks and five days, went into hospital and gave birth about nine hours later. He was a 1lb 8oz baby. This is ethans dummy. We have ethans first nappy. And then ethans first baby gro, which ive kept. Obviously ive kept those as well. When he was six months old he had bronchiolitis, put on the oscillator for about five weeks, and they said they were going to switch the machine off because his lungs were collapsed. And then they gave him steroids. But they said if they give him steroids he may be disabled. It was awful. Obviously i stayed by his bedside every single day. It was devastating really. But they said they would try. I said, just try one last thing and thats what they did, they tried the steroids and they worked. Heres granddad . Say, hi, granddad. You do it. Hi, ethan. Hi, granddad. He says da da a lot, and sister and spider, which, he should really say mum because, you know, when is he going to see a spider . These are still early days but in the future, and with more advanced software, it is hoped that this will be his gateway to full communication. Simon spark, bbc news. Ethanjoins us with his mum sarah and his step dad nigel. Theyre at home in grimsby. Good morning. And its lovely to have you on bbc news, ethan, i know you are a big watcher. Great to have you are a big watcher. Great to have you on this morning. Sarah, its amazing to see the technology and the difference it has made not only to ethan but the whole family. Yeah, its absolutely amazing, it really is so good. Its the best thing weve ever had for ethan so we are really grateful for the community raising all the money. Absolutely amazing. Nigel, we saw you in that film the sayyou had only had it a few weeks. Give us an idea of what ethan is doing with it every day and the improvements you have seen. Like you say, he is kind of had to set it up you say, he is kind of had to set it up for the very first time, but once it is set up, its with his eyes, looking at games, like odd one out, like colours. He will pick a colour. Its really mind blowing. Nigel, its amazing to think, as sarah mentioned, people who know ethan and those who have never met him before have helped to raise this money and change your lives. Yeah, to be honest, we are so humbled for everything anybody has ever done for ethan. In the time we have been in, this past year, for people to come together and raise the money. Through the pandemic as well. Through the pandemic as well. Through this hard time this year, to do this for ethan, its really passionate and thank you so much. How were they raising money during the pandemic . They did bike rides. Im not sure how many miles, but they did a lot of miles of bike ride. Men were also shaving their body laughter nigel is looking a bit sheepish, we re nigel is looking a bit sheepish, were you involved . My hair has already gone they just were you involved . My hair has already gone theyjust did name cards, virtual ones, and you could win prizes, and all the money was donated that way, which was awesome. Absolutely amazing. And can ijust say. Thanks to simon spike and for the bbc for actually putting the story up. We are so humble and thank you. If ethan, you can say hello, you. If ethan, you can say hello, you watch them every morning. Go on. Hello hello, ethan. Its lovely to see you. And hejust hello hello, ethan. Its lovely to see you. And he just makes hello hello, ethan. Its lovely to see you. And hejust makes me smile. So lovely. Its not a gimmick, if the news isnt on in the morning, especially the bbc, there is definitely a war on. You can see, look. This is why. Cant wait to watch it when we get home. look. This is why. Cant wait to watch it when we get home. If you go inside you can watch this again on bbc iplayer so he likes the bbc news, so what else does he love . He likes ballymore a. A la mori. He likes ballymore a. A la mori. He likes mr tumble. He likes movies likes mr tumble. He likes movies like toy story and night at the museum. But its quite hard to get him to watch it because he is always shouting for the news we heard in the film that doctors feel he has a high iq and he has worked out how to use the system really quickly so how do they feel things might develop and where he could get to in the months and years to come . We have just got to carry on with the eye gazing, keep practising with his eyes and hopefully when he starts to understand words we can get the communication part of it and then we can ask him questions and he will be able to select yes or no and hopefully that will be really good for him. I dont think we are far away from ethan sending us questions, and improvements no doubt, if he is watching us that much and i will say one thing, on a saturday, when you know when you have the half hour travel show or Something Like that . He likesjust the news. But the travel show. Hmm. Our editor is the news. But the travel show. Hmm. Our editor is listening the news. But the travel show. Hmm. Our editor is listening right now, that has gone straight to the top. Our editor is actually laughing, so if you watch this saturday and that travel sequence has gone, you know it has been inspired by ethan. That to you, that our editor is asking, who is his favourite presenter . We cant ask that you two have to work 24 hours a day now. Is that ok . You are so diplomatic. Well done to everybody. And if ethan can hear us, its lovely to have you won as well. Thank you for watching and we will see you tomorrow morning. Sorry, can we see you tomorrow morning. Sorry, can we just say a big thank you to all the carers. Sue, rebecca, stacey and lily. St andrews hospice, cromwell house, the two carers in the morning, adrian and johnny. House, the two carers in the morning, adrian andjohnny. Neil lacks the neonatal unit. Thank you to everyone at the hospital and thank you so much. Hopefully they are watching but we are always on the iplayer. Thank you so much. I love that diplomacy. Very good. And it wasnt my question. Aston martin has made some pretty memorable cars over the years but you may be less familiar with the bulldog. Thats because they only made one and its been languishing in storage for the best part of 40 years. Now its back in the workshop for a painstaking restoration. Phil mackie has been to see it. Using a turbo charged v8 engine the bulldog can reach over 170 mph. They say it was the first ever hyper car, the word used to describe only the most desirable High Performance vehicles on the planet. Because you just press the button. And youre released into the outer world. It was launched in a blaze of publicity but only one aston martin bulldog was ever made. The planned production run was cancelled and the car sold to a buyer in the middle east. Now its back in the uk. Theyre six months into a restoration project that could last another year. Its painstaking work. Spare parts arent exactly easy to find so theyre having to make some from scratch. Well, if youre wondering where everything from inside the car is, well, its inside these five cases, all kinds of bits and pieces that have been packed up and put into storage. This is the original promotional license plate for the bulldog. And how about this . 19805 state of the art dashboard displays and controls, all of which is being restored and will end up back in the bulldog. When it is finished it will look like this. The man overseeing it all is the son of the man who ran aston martin back in 1980. Ever since he retired from aston martin in 1992,i have spent some time thinking and pondering this car and i have seen it a few times in my life in sad Storage Units and here i am today overseeing the restoration and looking forward to driving it. Quite simply, it was a quantum leap ahead of what anyone else was doing, and for this spaceship design, with its gull wing doors and its incredible way the bonnet drops down when everyone else was doing pop up headlights, dramatic noise when the doors opened, and real world performance, thats the main thing to understand, is that the real world performance was far above any other car that was available for use on the road at the time. The workshop in shropshire specialises in classic car restorations. Five centrally mounted lights. But they have never seen anything like this, and nor had the motoring public 40 years ago. It was massively ahead of its time. If you think about what was on the road back in1979, 1980, you know . The average joe driving around in an austin allegro, or something, compared to a 700 horsepower mid engined, gull wing doored hyper car, which is exactly what bulldog is, yeah, tremendously advanced. And you will see what i mean when i say it looks as though it is about to take off into space and fly. Once it is fully restored they hope to test it at the speed it was designed for more than 200 mph. It hasnt been driven at all for 30 years. It cost £150,000 in 1980. Now it is worth millions. But as well as money it will take a lot of spirit to put this bulldog back on the road. Phil mackie, bbc news, shropshire. That is quite a wagon. Excellent. Lets catch up with the weather, you are talking about change, arent you . Iam are talking about change, arent you . I am indeed, are talking about change, arent you . Iam indeed, big change are talking about change, arent you . I am indeed, big change for weather, susan and wardrobe for me, i know some of you will enjoy it, we have turned from summer to the depths of autumn from mid week onwards. We start the week with that summer warmth, remaining from the weekend and we could see temperatures as high as 26 in the south, around 20 degrees in the north east of scotland thanks to south and south westerly winds. Low pressure pushes through wednesday and thursday opening the door to northerly winds and these are the temperatures to expect to see the week out, some are struggling to get into double figures, way down on where we should be for the time of year. It is a few days away. At the moment we have had mist and fog this morning, some of it lifting up and clearing across parts of hampshire, and it will do across other parts of central, southern england and where, and also across the central belt of scotland. Long sunny spells developing for most into the afternoon with blue skies overhead. We will see a tiny bit more cloud drift into the west of wales later, through Northern Ireland, bit more cloud at times, some sunny spells through the isle of man, the west of cumbria and west of scotland. The thickest cloud across the hebrides, north and mainland scotland, stiffening breeze, 12 14 the high, 24, 25 in the south east of england. It leads us into a fine evening, many parts of the evening. Tonight the rain gets heavier and more persistent across the far north of scotla nd persistent across the far north of scotland as the wind picks up. A bit more cloud developing into the north west stopping the temperatures dropping too much but eastern areas, fresh start to tomorrow morning with temperatures down into single figures. But whilst we have some mist and fog across england and wales most of it will shift, the Early Morning cloud thinning and breaking, sunny spells, not as much sunshine tomorrow as we see through today, one or two isolated showers in the west but the bulk of the wet weather tomorrow across western scotland, Northern Ireland, the winds touching 14 mph. Towards the north east, sunshine, temperatures up north east, sunshine, temperatures up to 25 or 26 in the south east. From wednesday it turns much cooler. Back to you. See you later on. Little mix got their big break on the x factor nine years ago. Now theyve turned the tables and become the judges on a new tv show in which they get to discover fresh talent. Little mix the search was supposed to be broadcast in the spring but got postponed because of coronavirus. Back in the pre social distancing era, i sat down with jade, leigh anne, perrie and jesy to talk about the show, and plenty more besides. Take a look. We need an incredible band to support us on our next tour. Little mix are game changers. They became the Biggest Girl Group in the world and have now flipped it over and gone, now were going to go find another group. So the search little mix the search. What are you searching for, jade . We are searching for the next big group. It can be a boy band, a girl band, a mixed group, yeah. Were looking for all different types of groups and obviously, there will be one winner who will support us. Who makes the final decision about who gets. . We actually take it in turns. Of, like, who makes the final decision. So its basically three tick rule. Yeah. So when its landing on that last. Well, second person, isnt it, to make that. . Yeah, they have to get three yeses. Yeah, they have to get three yesses, but if youre the one who kind of has to make the deciding one, its like of has to make the deciding one, its like groans. Pressure and does it does that pressure take you back to sort of the pressure that you felt. Yeah . Your faces when you think about about going into. It was horrible. You know what . Your own x factor . Its been really difficult, yeah. Its been hard saying no to people, because we know how that feels. You know, we got turned away quite a few times i think were a lot nicer though we are a lot nicer. We do genuinely care for them, like. We want to make sure that theyre looked after properly, and support them. Yeah, and let them know what they are getting themselves into. Like, obviously, youre now going to be on a pedestal for people to have an opinion about you, so i think it is important for us to kind of warn them and sort of prepare them for that. Yeah. We werent even aware what twitter was. Do you know what i mean, it wasjust kind of coming in and getting popular at that time. And we just didnt have a clue. And now life is very different because youve sort of matured in this age where social media is so dominant. How do you cope with it all now . Because there is so much we could talk about on this issue, because all four of you live your lives fully in the glare of social media. Have any of you actually thought, i just do not want to be a part of this any more . I just want out . Yeah. We talk about it all the time. I think we are a lot better with social media than what we used to be. I think were not on it as much as we used to be, were not as obsessed with it. Do you have to be strict about that, jesy . For me, i do. I cant be on it all the time because i know for me mentally, it is not its not good. But it is scary for the Younger Generation growing up because they know grew up how we did. There is a lot more things for them to get more insecure about now. I feel like if you should have if you dont want to be on social media, you shouldnt do it. Like, you dont have to have it. No, of course not. You have a choice. I feel almost guilty, in a way, when i dont post enough. Because i dont post an awful lot on instagram and i feel bad for, like, our fans that do want to see us post. Its, like, trying to find a balance, because its just weird. You dont want to feel like youre neglecting your fans at the same time. Thats what i mean so then you feel guilty but you have to find the right balance. You do, but what i will say is your own Mental Health is the most important thing. Yeah, of course. You have to do it for you, havent you . You have to i remember, jade, you have said in the past that you dont go on first thing in the morning. Have you managed to keep that as a rule . I mean, i have fell off at a couple of times, im not going to lie but i do put restrictions on, so, like, if i go to bed i dont have my phone near me, and im not sitting and scrolling in bed or when i wake up. Ive got a little ban on my phone so i cant get on it past 10am. Do you know what, its actually really good for you, i think. Because then youre not obsessed over it. I restrict my hours on it so i dont go overkill like insta stalking people and all that stuff. Itsjust silly. It is silly. It is silly behaviour. But social media is a blessing and a curse, isnt it . For us it is such a big platform for us. You have all got millions of followers, havent you . The poisonous side of it is so poisonous and maybe this has been developing for the last few years. There is people who seem to get their kicks out of seeing you react to them being cruel. And i cant understand how that is something that drives somebody on. They want you to cry, they want you to react, they want you to get angry with them. Its an attention thing, though. I find a lot of people that do it are seeking attention themselves and thats why they do it. Dont you think thats the same with the press as well, though . They want to see you in your worst state. They want to see you kick off. It is such a negative world we live in sometimes. And you have to try not to feed it. Yeah. What did we say today . The cons are outweighing the pros by a mile. It is not actually there isnt that much to it that is decent. Just i dont know, it is uncomfortable, isnt it . Ijust wish it never existed. Really . So if it wasnt there you if you knew what it was now, you probably wouldntjoin it now . Crosstalk. I literally admire people that dont have social media. Ido i think it is so refreshing and i meet people who literally dont have it. Like ed sheeran. Trying to contact that boy is impossible because he doesnt have a phone but i love that like, dont you think thats nice . I wish i could be like that. How do you get hold of ed sheeran . E mail. You dont but i love that so your sort of proteges, the band that come through, what will you tell the world of about social media to stay off it . No. I would say it is a choice. If you want to be on it, just be aware. Just warn them. It can be toxic. And try not to make it try not to become obsessed with it. Dont put your whole life on there. Have fun with it, like, yeah, take all the positives from it and use it and engage with your fan base and try your best not to feed into this sort of negative aspect. This might be a daft question but ill ask it anyway. When was the last time you went out in disguise . In disguise . Yeah. You go out in disguise . I dont feel like we can. Even when we do try and go out in disguise. I get the tube all the time and i dont think ive been recognised once on the tube. Last night i had everything done and i was getting noticed and i was like, oh, god, do i really look that different with my make up . it is so weird. You look gorgeous both ways. No disguise needed, just dont wear any slap. And no disguises for you two . I feel like if i dont wear make up or i do wear make up i still get recognised. Jesy has got a very bait look, hasnt she . Shes very recognisable. It is hard, though, isnt it . When you have got make up on and you get recognised. Actually, the first day of auditions, one of the Staff Members when i was walking in thought i was an auditionee for the search. And ive never been so embarrassed in my whole life. Mistaken for a mistaken fora fan mistaken for a fan sometimes what did you say . I said this is my show. Im from little mix, this is my programme once in italy or france or somewhere. Jade had merchandise on and there were paparazzi outside and she thought if i step out with you three we will get photographed, but if i go out with my hoodie up and little mix logo, maybe not. I said you will never get photographed. And she walked out and nobody took a picture. Thank you, that has been great. Thank you all the best with it and i hope to see you again soon that really cheered me up. Little mix the search begins this saturday, bbc one, at 7pm. Youre watching bbc breakfast. It is 8 59am.
