Fastened in a house when the government have got it all wrong. Mps vote against Free School Meals being extended through the holidays in england but footballer Marcus Rashford vows to carry on campaigning. Inside europes largest cancer unit how patients at manchesters christie hospital continue to receive lifesaving care during the pandemic. We had an unexpected early phone call and i have no more cancerous cells in my body. Its the trophy that keeps getting away but Manchester City, get off to a flyer, in their 10th attempt to win the champions league, with victory, in a fiery fightback. Good morning. Some heavy rain across parts of northern and eastern scotland. That will clear. For most of us it will be a drier day than yesterday with some sunshine. All the details in about ten minutes. Its thursday, the 22nd of october. Our top story. The chancellor rishi sunak is expected to unveil new support for workers in parts of england that are under tier 2 restrictions thats the high alert level. It follows criticism that his winter economic plan was based on a model of falling Coronavirus Infections and a recovering economy not extra rules which have seriously hampered the hospitality sector, in particular. Our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake has more. Forced to close by law. Businesses in parts of england under the highest tier of restrictions know they will get some support. The government pays 67 of workers wages up to a maximum of £2,100 per month. But firms in areas under tier 2, where pubs and bars can stay open until 10pm, are facing what some call the worst of all worlds a fall in takings without enough support to stay afloat. Greater manchester moves into tier 3, the very high covid alert level, from tomorrow, South Yorkshire on saturday. 0pinions there are divided. I think its a good thing. I think we need a short, sharp shock, and hopefully, if everybody gets on board, thats what it will be and well go into it and we will come out of it the better off. Good. Why . Well, were not getting better. Weve got to get better sometime. I mean, im 84, weve been through world war ii and everything. This is worse, really. Im 83. I dont give a sod. I look at it this way. Ive not got all that many years left in me, and im not going to be fastened in a house when the government have got it all wrong. By the end of this year theres going to be millions of people unemployed. And do you know whos going to pay for it . All the young ones. Not me, because im going to be dead. In west yorkshire, parts of the north east of england, nottinghamshire and other areas in tier 2 which are in discussions about tighter restrictions, the chancellor has been under pressure from unions and business groups, to plug what they see as a gap in the governments approach. Just weeks ago, rishi sunak announced his winter economic plan, including wage support for workers in what are deemed viable jobs, whose hours have been cut. But there are warnings it may need a rethink as the virus has continued to spread and the economy faces further strain. Jonathan blake, bbc news. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent helen catt. So we had the furlough and then need job support scheme. Today a different announcement. That is what we are expecting. When rishi sunak announced the winter plan last month, it was for the economy to start recovering. What we are expecting to hear some sort of further support, particularly for businesses in tier 2. They are in this worst of all world situation where they have not been told to shut that some of the other restrictions brought in on peoples lives are having a huge impact. In particular the ban on mixing households indoors. It is obvious that france cannot go for a pint in a pub or that france cannot go for a pint in apubora that france cannot go for a pint in a pub or a local cafe, it will have an impact on those businesses. There we re an impact on those businesses. There were talks yesterday with the government. Unions and Business Leaders have been pushing on this. The government did recognise businesses operating in tier 2 would have difficulties. The sort of ideas we understand had been discussed, the sort of options, where more taxpayer funded support for wages for people working in tier 2 and gra nts for people working in tier 2 and grants offered through local councils. Thank you. The officer leading the policing response to the coronavirus pandemic has urged the government to make the three tier rules easier to follow. Assistant chief constable 0wen weatherill told mps people are struggling to comply with restrictions because theyre too confusing. Hes previously asked the Prime Minister to simplify the message around the new tiered system. I made strong representations that we should look for simplified, consistent tiers. I thought that was going to happen ten days ago. The reality is starting to drift and nuanceis reality is starting to drift and nuance is creeping in. What we have seen is a reintroduction of things you cannot do under regulation and guidance. The tiering relates to both. What that has done is confuse the messaging again. The footballer Marcus Rashford has vowed to continue his campaign for children from low income families in england to get Free School Meals outside term time, after a labour motion in support of the idea was defeated in the commons. As long as they dont have a voice, they will have mine, he wrote after mps voted by a majority of 61 against an extension of the scheme until the end of the easter holidays. Five conservatives rebelled. Lisa hampele has more. Breakfast club is the guarantee of a meal some children might not get at home. Throughout the Summer School holiday, many families relied on Free School Meal vouchers instead. With half time approaching, holiday hunger is again on the minds of many. Now we have parents who dont have jobs any more, so then we have to think about the parents who dont have jobs, how are they to survive . But labour lost their motion. It had accused the government of walking away from its obligations to hungry children. Only a handful of conservative mps voted with labour. If we acknowledge that children risk going hungry in term time by providing them with Free School Meals, despite the provision of universal credit and the other things that have been mentioned by the government, we know they risk going hungry in the holidays, too. Among the conservatives voting with the government was an mp with strong words aimed at parents and Marcus Rashfords campaign. Where is the slick pr campaign, encouraging absent parents to take some responsibility for their children . I do not believe in nationalising children. Instead, we need to get back to the idea of taking responsibility. Commentator rashford. In a Statement Last night, the footballer said. Our views are being clouded by political affiliation. This is not politics, this is humanity. And he went on. The Prime Minister borisjohnson said the government will continue to use a benefit and income support system to help children through the holidays. In scotland and wales, families will be given food vouchers until next years easter holiday. Like in england, Northern Ireland has said Free School Meals will only be provided term time. Lisa hampele, bbc news. The uk and European Union will resume talks today to try to agree on a post brexit trade deal. Discussions stalled last week, with downing street saying the negotiations were over. Yesterday the eus chief negotiator Michel Barnier told the European Parliament that a deal was within reach if both sides compromised. The government says talks will intensify but that its possible they wont result in an agreement. The former us president barack 0bama has accused donald trump of treating the presidency like a Reality Television show during an election rally in philadelphia. It was mr 0bamas First Campaign speech in support of his former Vice President , joe biden. 0ur north america correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports. It was a strange way to attend a political event. They came in their cars to see their former president s first drive in rally forjoe biden. I think what barack 0bama brings is the sense when america was great. When we were happy to go out, when we could go out and have a good time, when we were respecting and loving each other. When barack 0bama got on stage in philadelphia he didnt hold back in his criticism of the man who replaced him in the white house, saying Donald Trumps behaviour had been unacceptable and a poor example to american children. There are consequences to these actions. They embolden other people to be cruel and divisive and racist. Part of the reason he came to this city was to encourage African Americans to vote. Many remain disillusioned. There no point in really voting. Thats how i look at it. I dont see no point in voting, bro. Its like a lost cause. A decrease in black voter turnout here in 2016 is seen as a big reason Hillary Clinton lost this key state to donald trump. Down the road, barack 0bama dropped by a community centre. Youll get some folks who say, well, im not going to vote. His input could be crucial to reversing that fall in black voting forjoe biden. Notjust in this city. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, philadelphia. National Security Officials in the us say that both iran and russia have attempted to interfere in the upcoming president ial election. The director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe accused iran of targeting registered voters with e mails designed to look like they were sent by a far right group in support of mr trump. An iranian spokesman said they had no intention of meddling in the election. The foreign secretary dominic raab says hes deeply concerned by reports that a number of people were shot dead at a protest against Police Brutality in nigeria. Amnesty International Says at least 12 people were killed when troops opened fire in the countrys biggest city lagos. Demonstrations in nigeria over an allegedly corrupt police unit which has been disbanded have been taking place for the last two weeks. Royal mail has boldly gone and released a new set of stamps to celebrate the long running tv series star trek. Captain james t kirk, spock and Captainjean Luc Picard are among the characters featured on the stamps, which go on sale next month. Star trek was first broadcast in the uk in 1969. I like those. I think you could have given the phrase a little more, to be honest with you. The royal mail has boldly gone. You tell me how it is done. It is all yours. I am just suggesting. I am just suggesting next time you could have given it more intergalactic welly. How about that . Marvellous, brilliant. We have got some heavy rain at the moment across the north east of scotland which will clear. For most of us today and it will be much drier than yesterday with some sunny spells. Still a few showers knocking around here and there. The low pressure is moving away. This ridge of High Pressure is moving in, settling things down. It is not going to last. It will change again tomorrow and into the weekend. This is what the met office has a yellow weather warning out for at the moment. Spots of rain behind it across eastern parts of scotland. You can see across eastern parts of scotland. You can see showers across eastern parts of scotland. You can see showers dotted around northern parts of england and one or two getting into the south of england. That aside we are looking ata england. That aside we are looking at a largely dry day. The winds beginning to ease and slowly easing as we go into the afternoon. In the south still pretty mild. Further north we are looking at ten, 11 in aberdeen. This evening and overnight there will be clear skies around. We are looking at this line of showers from the south west and drifting towards the south east. At the same timea towards the south east. At the same time a new atlantic front is coming in from the west introducing some rain. Tomorrow we still have some residual showers. Some dry weather before this rain moves from the west, towards the east, weakening for a time. Behind west, towards the east, weakening fora time. Behind it west, towards the east, weakening for a time. Behind it we are into the dizzy cocktail of sunshine and showers by potentially inventory with some hail and feeling cooler across the board. How is your flavanoid intake . I have not started it yet. I think i will imbibe it. Well done. I am going to explain later. I will leave carol hanging. Lets take a look at todays front pages. The guardian reports that chancellor rishi sunak will announce extra Financial Support for pubs and restaurants hit by tier 2 restrictions on households mixing. It says hes expected to tell the commons the prospects for the economy are getting bleaker. The daily mail has that story weve been telling you about this morning the Police Officer in charge of enforcing the uks lockdown rules has made the shocking confession that even he does not understand the three tier system. The daily mirrors headline is made from the names of more than 300 conservative mps who voted against footballer Marcus Rashfords Free School Meals campaign. The paper quotes labour, saying more than a million children were badly let down by the opposition to extending free meals over the holidays. And the bbc news website reports that the bbcjournalist Martin Bashir is seriously unwell with complications from coronavirus. Mr bashir made headlines across the world with his 1995 interview with princess diana. He is currently bbc news religion editor. Are you going to explain the flavonoid . Flavour are you going to explain the flavonoid . Flavour no, are you going to explain the flavonoid . Flavour no, apparently. There is a new study that shows diets rich in tea, berries and apples could lower blood pressure. Food and drinks contain these naturally occurring compounds. Its been published in scientific reports. Funded by the Confectionery Firm mars as well. I dont know why thatis firm mars as well. I dont know why that is interesting but it is. It looked at the evidence and if you ta ke looked at the evidence and if you take more of these income its good for you. I understood one of the things they we re i understood one of the things they were looking at was how strong you had your tea as a bearing on what was better for you. The had your tea as a bearing on what was betterfor you. The stronger the tea, there is some merit in what it does for you . There is. There are lots of things you can eat that help. Four to five cups of tea a day, people tend to have good blood pressure. 0n have good blood pressure. On that note i should pretend to drinka cup on that note i should pretend to drink a cup of tea as there is nothing in there. Delicious. He gets made a cup of tea every morning by someone lovely on the floor. Dont feel sorry for him. Whats not to like about the name of this animal . Maybe you have heard about it before but i havent. The unapproachable ironclad beetle. That is not a movie, it is the name of a beetle. The un crushable ironclad beetle. The un crushable ironclad beetle. It can survive by being run over a car, for example. Scientists have been looking at how it is built, to see if they can learn anything about the construction of things more generally. It has these extraordinary wing covers hardened, but they are fused together, which gives them this extraordinary protection. If you have the same on crush ability factor in a human being, it would be the equivalent of being, it would be the equivalent of being able to survive having a ship put on top of you. Are you with me . If we were as strong as a beetle is, you could literally put a shape on top of you, for example, and it would have no effect. Extraordinary. Lets not try it, shall we . When it came to flavour novels, red wine and chocolate. This is when i become interested. The levels vary between brands. So soon enough you could see, you know you have calorie intake, fat, sugar, whatever you could have flavonoids. The annual poppy appeal is being launched today. But, ike so many other things this year, it wont be business as usual. The british legion has devised a plan to help us honour the fallen, while also tackling the spread of a new enemy coronavirus. Tim muffett has the details. We will remember them. But this year it will be different. With so many remembrance events cancelled, the Royal British legion wants us to remember in our homes and gardens, in our windows and on our doorsteps. Bill is a 95 year old royal navy veteran of d day in the Burma Campaign in world war ii. Most days he would be out collecting for the poppy appeal. Yeah, we cant go anywhere, i cant go out. Youre just locked up. It is a bit annoying. So this year many Remembrance Services wont be taking place. What about the idea of remembering in our own homes instead, or on our doorsteps . Yeah, that would be ok. Its just to remember. I mean, both of the world wars, i think, is something that we should not forget. To mark todays launch of the poppy appeal, the Royal British legion has released these images of volunteers, veterans and serving members of the armed forces. Nicole is a nurse and reservist in the royal navy. I was honoured to take part in the photo, because its remembering not only our past, but also our present. We have heroes in our past and i think we do have heroes of today. We went through a lot back then, and were still going through a lot now. Homes and front doorsteps have played such a key part this year, havent they . We were clapping for carers, we were locked in. Hows it been for you this year . Just like everyone, i believe it was quite scary at first, the unknown. As a paramedic i was able to support people in the community, whether that was physically or mentally. A lot of people who would typically collect for the poppy appeal wont be able to this year. But given the hardships being faced by so many, the Royal British legions support for members of the armed forces past and present, as well as their families, has never been more important. With so many older fundraisers are unable to leave their homes, younger people are being encouraged to help. My name is poppy. Encouraged to help. Why i think im called that is because our family, we had great great great uncles in world war i. Pppy, youre just 11 years old. Why is it important that young people like you still get involved in the Poppy Campaign . Its really important not to forget about them, because it. Its history. Its. Part of life. Almost inevitably this year, less money will be raised from cash donations, so online giving is being encouraged. Poppies can also be sent in the post or print it out and are displayed in a window. Applause during the pandemic. From now until november the 11th, they will also shape the way we remember. Tim muffett, bbc news. Its a great image, that. And its really interesting, as with all things, how charities as well are adapting to the circumstances we are in. Absolutely. Captain sir tom moore has been an army officer, a successful businessman, a chart topping singer and, of course, a champion nhs fundraiser during his 100 years on earth. Now he can add another occupation to that impressive cv artists muse. Hundreds of people have felt inspired to paint pictures of sir tom. Before theyre auctioned off for charity, hes been casting his eye over them with the help of our arts correspondent david sillito. Music i was absolutely overwhelmed. So many of them and such good quality. People have so put such great effort into producing them. Captain tom, his famous walk in his back garden during lockdown, didntjust raise tens of millions for nhs charities. It was, for many of us, a moment of inspiration. This is my portrait of captain tom that i did during lockdown. The last time i painted a portrait was back in 2014, and that was of my grandpa, my grandpa sid. And he passed away last year, aged 100. And he wasjust the most kind, docile, loving man, and i didnt think i would paint again after he passed away. But seeing captain tom, he just reminded me so much of my grandpa, everything from the glint in his eye to his cheeky sense of humour. And itjust compelled me to pick up a paintbrush again. Justines painting isjust one of more than 100 artworks now going up for auction. There are paintings, cartoons and this, etched in a 100 year old door. What inspired you to do it . I think everybody was kind of taken aback with the story. I think it had such genuine and sort of humble beginnings, and then just sort of, because of that, people responded to it and it became this kind ofjuggernaut that kept going. So yeah, i think i wasjust get kind of taken away with that as well. Jamie is a professional artist. But some are at a slightly earlier stage in their artistic careers. Arana is ten. I was inspired by what captain tom moore was doing for the nhs, so i thought it would be nice to make him a card from scratch for his 100th. And now its up for sale, ou realise oure a professional artist now . Eh. Like, ijust like cant believe it. I think this is the beginning of your artistic career, isnt it . Arranas work is now here on display at in london. Of course, one person hasnt had a chance to see the exhibition, captain tom. Would you like to have a little tour of the gallery . Would you like to have a tour of the gallery . Yes, please. And so i took him on a little virtual tour. Amazing. 0h, theyre all amazing, look . I love this one. This one is made of coffee, isnt it . That is coffee. I have to be really honest, i nearly kept it and put money in the foundation myself, but i have to let it go. Amazing. The auction will help raise some little more money for the captain tom foundation, but its also been a chance for a little group of artists to share their lockdown creativity. Hopefully, we can raise some money for it, but the fact that im here sitting in a gallery, this is everything i could ever have wanted. David sillito, bbc news. There are some very talented people out there. And there just . My favourite one, when you saw the camera go along the line, the traditional image of, lest we forget, and tom more in his stroller at the end. Really lovely. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im Victoria Hollins. Drivers in lewisham have been issued with more than £3 million of fines for not following new low traffic neighbourhood rules. The set of road barriers, which aim to reduce through traffic, was brought in under covid 19 emergency transport measures measures injune, and has received mixed feedback. Camera enforced barriers which photograph licence plates are used instead of physical barriers, to allow buses through. Despite the cameras being in place, thousands of drivers drove through. The london fire brigade has spent the night sifting through debris, after a suspected gas esplosion killed two people in southall. It happened atjust after 6. 30 yesterday morning, in a hair salon and mobile phone shop on king street. Four adults and a child were rescued. Its not being treated as suspicious. As furlough draws to an end this month, London Councils are calling on the government to provide more support to the thousands of people who could soon be made homeless. The government says it will fund longer Term Accommodation and tailored support to end rough sleeping for good. But charities are also warning that Homeless People will not get the usual winter support and councils also face challenging conditions. We now have to be saying it. Who can we truly afford to help . It should be everyone. The fact is we should be getting the money that there is no one who resides in london being homeless on our streets coming into this winter. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning minor delays on circle and hammersmith. In southall king street remains closed between the green and adelaide road following yesterdays gas explosion. Usual queues building on the aa06, westbound from a10 to bowes road now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is a mild start this morning. Compared to yesterday, with all the rain and cloud, it is going to be much drier and much brighter. We will start the day with some sunny spells. A nice bright start. Patchy cloud, the risk of one or two showers today but it should stay largely dry in most places. Temperatures somewhere between 1a and 17 celsius as a maximum. 0vernight tonight, again still the risk of one or two showers but some clearer spells. Minimum temperature is going to be another mild night with some showers blowing through into tomorrow morning. Those showers through the early hours into friday could actually be quite heavy. Minimum between 9 and 11 celsius. For friday, still the risk of one or two of those showers first thing. Some bright spells first thing but we will slowly start to see the cloud increasing and thickening through the afternoon. Into the weekend, a breezy day on saturday. Dry through daylight hours, rain overnight and lets not forget the clocks go back on saturday night. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now though, its back to charlie and naga. Bye for now. Hello. This is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Its 6 30am. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. But also on breakfast this morning, well give you another look behind the scenes at one of europes leading Cancer Treatment centres the christie to hear how it felt to be a patient during such a challenging period. The mini metro turns a0 this year. It wasnt universally loved in its heyday but well speak to the super fan who cant get enough of his retro metro. And we didnt get an Olympic Games or euro 2020 this year but there are some sporting contests, which neither the pandemic nor the british weather can stop. Well be chatting to one of the organisers of the world puddle jumping championships. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Weve heard a lot in recent days about high rates of covid 19 in merseyside, lancashire, Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire but nottingham has also been badly hit. The city has the second highest rate of the virus in england, according to the latest government figures. Lets get more on this from one of our regular breakfast gps, drjamie parker, who is based in nottingham. Morning to you. So there is real concern in places like nottingham. I wonder if you can focus your attention on the figures we are seeing about concern over the older people, we are talking about those over 60 who are getting infected or hospitalised. What are you seeing . Before we were seeing a rise in the younger age group, the student age group. Now we are seeing a rise in those over 60 and a more elderly age group. We know they are more likely to become more seriously affected by covid. You are a gp in general practice. What sort of contact are you having with people who are concerned originally all those who are in that category, who are falling ill . We are seeing an increasing number of calls, an increasing number of calls, an increasing number of people testing positive and it seems to be more than the initial stages in march and april. Looking back then, things are very different this time around. There seemed to be relatively few cases at that time and now there are more positive places. People are testing positive with symptoms. A change from march and april. There has been concern about doctors surgeries as well, how you cope. 0n the one hand you want more people coming forward but at the same time there is concern about whether people in the nhs will get overwhelmed. What is the situation for you . Every day is a struggle. It really is. To make it clear that gps have been open throughout the pandemic, are still open. It might be very different that we do want people calling if they are concerned about medical problems. It is not just covid. If people have concerns about symptoms, for example unexplained weight loss, blood in there we, a pain that will not go away for example. We dont want people to be ignoring that. At the same time people can help. If they are simply concerned about covid related symptoms but you dont feel unwell, do you necessarily need to contact your gp about that . Could you find information from other sources . Hundred and 11 online, government sources. There is good information out there. 111. Nottingham, where you are, is one place that people say should be in the third tier, according to the figures. From a medical point of view, how do you look at it . It has been a very odd situation. We knew we would be in a higher tier group or tier 2. We had local Council Leaders telling us to behave as if we we re leaders telling us to behave as if we were in group. Now we are expecting to going to be very high, tier 3 level. The uncertainty of all of this is really difficult to understand and it must be really difficult for people whose livelihoods are on the line, waiting for that decision. I think the problem with it is it can distract from the most basic message of coronavirus switches hands, face the myspace message was that that is really key. Which is, hands, face, space. Thank you. We will see how things unfold in the next few months. Now the sport. A great night for the british clubs in the champions league. It has been a long time since this chap last scored. Sergio aguero back on the scoresheet. Yes, the perfect start for liverpool and Manchester City in the champions league, and relief for both for city, that Sergio Ageuro is scoring again, and for liverpool, that they can cope, just about, the champions of england bidding once again to be champions of europe. Liverpool have become a byword for goal scoring brilliance but their opener against ajax was less sublime, more ridiculous. Commentator oh, its a crazy own goal spare a thought for Nicolas Tagliafico, poking sadio manes shot into his own net. Liverpool though werent complaining. Without the injured virgil van dijk, their defending was at times desperate. Fabinho rescuing them before the break but boy it was close. And so was this. Moments into the second half, davy klaasen rattling the post. Liverpool were living dangerously. In the final seconds, a final chance for ajax but they couldnt take it. A tricky night for liverpool but theyre off to a winning start. Meanwhile, Manchester Citys latest quest for that Elusive Champions League title began against porto and it didnt begin well. Luis diazjust kept running and running with impressive results. But portos lead didnt last. A clattering challenge on Raheem Sterling and, from the penalty spot, Sergio Aguero just fired them level. And aguero scores. Porto they were still posing plenty of problems and it took some serious scrambling from kyle walker to keep city level at the break. After it though they set about turning on the style. Commentator gundogan. Its outstanding. As free kicks go, gundogans was pretty special, and so was this. Substitute Ferran Torres coolly completing a 3 1win. A great start for city and one their manager, its fair to say, rather enjoyed. Andy swiss, bbc news. It was a dreadful night for the 13 time winners of the european cup, real madrid. They lost 3 2 to shaktar donetsk, who arrived in the spanish capital without Ten First Team players as well, thanks to injuries and coronavirus. Chris froome really is having a terrible time, on his bike, in spain, at the vuelta a espana. He lost another 18 minutes to the leaders and hes now almost half an hour behind primoz roglich, who was in a group that got a big surprise with wild ponies in the road. If they thought the danger had passed. No. A mare and foal had to be carefully avoided on the climb there. Fortunately, they all managed to avoid each other. Its not the first time horses havejoined a stage. When you are on open roads, wildlife will play a part. It is that red really at the end of the day. I was very nervous of animals whenever i have cycled. I had an incident with a bat in greece. The bat wedged itself between it and i could not see them i ended up into a bush. So there was a bat. It got wedged and a few seconds of flapping, i was in a few seconds of flapping, i was in a bush. The bat thankfully got away. I never saw it again. Daytime or night time . It was dusk. How big was the bat . It seems like an enormous fruit back. That fall back to being stuck on yourface fruit back. That fall back to being stuck on your face that poor bat. How long ago was it . It was in the 90s, the early 90s. Going on for quite a while. I was going to be so rude. Talking of bats. You are on fire this morning. Todays where is a lot quieter than yesterday. Dry foremost with sunny spells sums up nicely. Weather. This ridge builds in and things will settle down for most of us. Gusty winds in the north and west. It later across the east. Showers dotted around the northern half of Northern England and a few sinking south across southern england. They are the exception rather than the rule. A lot of dry weather and sunshine. Still mild in the south east but temperatures falling away. Yesterday, edinburgh was the warmest part of the country. Today we are looking at 10 degrees. This evening and overnight there will be clear skies. Still if you showers around. Then this next weather front coming in from the atlantic which will introduce more rain. Under the clear skies, temperatures will fall away once again. Friday, the weather fronts will continue to move slowly from the west to the east, weakening as they do so. Blustery winds coming in behind them and a fairfew showers. We start with one or two showers. We start with one or two showers which will have come in overnight across the south of the uk. They were pushed into the north sea. Weakening of the time, bringing cloud and patchy rain. Getting into the far south east later in the day. Behind it will be sunny skies, bright spells and showers. Some of the showers at towards the west will be heavy and possibly have hail, thunder and lightning in them as well. On friday and saturday, look at what is coming our way. This area of low pressure again from the atlantic. The isoba rs of low pressure again from the atlantic. The isobars alone tell you it will be a windy day wherever you are and the front would bring in some rain. Widely we are looking at gusts of wind, a0 to 50 miles an hour. We could have gusts of 60 miles an hour across the north sea. All of this rain moving across as getting into the south is during the course of the day. Temperatures will still be mild. 11, 12 and 13 behind it. Sunday we are looking at blustery showers but hopefully some sunshine as well. Thank you. 0n yesterdays breakfast, we took you inside europes largest dedicated cancer centre, the christie in manchester to give you an insight into how doctors there have been providing care throughout the pandemic. Today, were focusing on the patients. Jayne mccubbin has been to meet two of them and hear their stories. The start of your cancer journey was the very start of covid, wasnt it . Thats correct, yeah. That was definitely the lowest point. It was bad hearing it, and dealing with it, but coming home and telling the children. I asked the doctor, will i be in 12 months time . He said, well, maybe five, six months. And to be told news that you werent expecting, bad news, and i had all of that information out of the blue and. On your own. It was hideous, actually. Gabriel and kathryn are both facing the double whammy of cancer in the time of covid. But for catherine, covid is far too close for comfort. With an eldest daughter who has the virus, and a younger daughter self isolating upstairs because of the virus, shes about to hear news. Ive just had a phone call from the hospital to say the results have been brought forward to today. Crazy situation theyre in. This is a roller coaster for the whole family. Libbs . Libbs, its jayne from the bbc come to your bedroom window and chat so i will be hearing from them. Any minute now. Hello hello, you how are you feeling . Weird. Itsjust kind of a precautionary measure. Ive had seven months of thinking, maybe im going to be the one that passes it on to her. Your nerves must be shredded . Its horrible, it awful. Yeah. For gabriel, a terminal diagnosis during lockdown, farfrom family, has been almost entirely solitary. When i informed my children, their first reaction was, were on our way, but they couldnt because we were on lockdown then. The thing is about the cancer, at least i was able to go out, whereas, with this virus, i was in lockdown 24 hours a day. But there is one person who saved him from the solitude of the virus. My nurse, hilary, she is in constant touch with me. Its not just to discuss treatment. She rings up, what are you up to . How are you getting on . She doesnt have to ring, but she does. Thats it as we film, the call comes through. Hi. Sorry, say it again. How do you ride a roller coaster of cancer and covid like this . How do you cope . You dont have a choice. You have no choice, you just have to get on with it. Yes. You take each thing as it comes. Have you really worried about your mum . Yeah. Its really, really worrying. She said youre good at hugs. Yeah. She smiles a lot. Just because you couldnt write it. You just couldnt write a year like this. Oh, yes it sounds good. All good. No more cancer. There you go. Illjust check whether weve got any fizz in the fridge for later. So far, gabriel has outlived that first prognosis by two months. Powered by the hope he has been gifted. Hiya, hilary. Hello. Look, ive got you these. Its for all the phone calls, for the reassurance, for being there for me from the start of this. Its just a little appreciation. Thats lovely, thank you. Thank you. Thats absolutely incredible. Incredible. You always want to be able to give him something. To give him some hope. I fully appreciate what it feels like getting the phone calls, what it means to me that you have concern, you do. Youre an inspiration to me as well. Its not just a job to you. And it makes such a difference. I want to be able to Say Something thats going to help him, you know, go to the next day and the next day and take every day as it comes. After each one of our phone calls im straight on to them because im on a high, because youve lifted me. Ijust wanted to know i appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Its really good, isnt it . Yeah. No more cancer in mummy send you a big virtual hug. Love you lots. Thats such good news. It is so great. So many people have been derived human touch during this pandemic, and to be deprived it during a cancerjourney is brutal. But compassion can be conveyed in other ways. Hope too. What do you believe your outlook is . You know, what are you thinking lies ahead now . Im very positive. And do you know, i did almost cry once talking to hilary, because she asked me a similar question and i thought, you know what im looking forward to . Her ringing me and saying,. Excuse me. Youre all right. Youre all clear. It takes a lot to share your story like that. Thanks to gabriel for sharing his story with us. We know he wanted to take this opportunity to tell his four sons thomas, kevin, liam and james that he loves them and hopes to see them again soon, once its safe to do so. Lovely hearing him talk about his nurse. That relationship was clearly so nurse. That relationship was clearly so important. Thanks also to kathryn, who had Reconstructive Surgery yesterday. And were pleased to say it all went well. So best wishes to all of those families. And if you are wanting, i hope you are nestled in bed with a cup of tea and recovering co mforta bly. We can speak now to professor david cunningham, from the association of cancer physicians. Good morning to you. Thank you very much for being with us this morning. Its wonderful to be able to get an insight into peoples stories, as we did there with catherine and with a positive result. But you have been talking about the necessity of treatment for months since the virus hit . Good morning, naga. Those are two great stories, illustrating different aspects of cancer care. But one of the key things moving forward , but one of the key things moving forward, and we are all trying to encourage people, is to seek attention and seek medical advice if they have symptoms or concerns they might have cancer. Its important that we reassure people that hospitals are a safe place now. We have made a lot of progress since the beginning of the pandemic. And we have systems in place that ensure people can come to hospital, get a diagnosis and, of course, get, as you heard, very effective treatment. What needs to be back in place in hospitals at this moment in time in order to further encourage people that the treatment is available . think everything is in place. I think everything is in place. I think its about getting the message out there that we can investigate patients. We do have the tools to make the diagnosis. And we certainly have the treatments to deliver effective therapies. You know, for example, when the pandemic first began we werent quite sure how safe it would be to get a patient a systemic enter anti Cancer Treatments. Although there are risks of immunosuppressant treatments. Although there are risks of immunosuppressa nt patients, treatments. Although there are risks of immunosuppressant patients, it would appear these risks are less than we initially anticipated. But immunotherapy, one of the new treatments were used to treat cancer, for example, the end week the nhs is a business. To see patients who have concerns. As we move into the second wave, which we move into the second wave, which we think will be much longer, a flatter curve, we have to make sure that we maintain all these other services for patients with cancer etc. Its very difficult to predict anything, isnt it . One thing that was always very clear when we spoke to various oncologist was the concern that people would be relu cta nt to concern that people would be reluctant to visit their gp, or relu cta nt to reluctant to visit their gp, or reluctant to getting to hospital as you have spoken about. What do you think the impact is in terms of cancer diagnosis in later stages now . Some of the patients turning up to our clinics. When you take the history often they may have had symptoms that just history often they may have had symptoms thatjust emerged around the time of the first lockdown. They decided to put things on the back burner. And then, you know, there are other priorities and eventually some medical attention. So we are seeing patients with more advanced disease. We know for virtually all cancers one of the key elements for success is actually making an early diagnosis. Dr david cunningham, a lwa ys diagnosis. Dr david cunningham, always good to talk to you. Thank you very much. Thank you. The message there is very clear. The nhs is open if you are concerned. Talk to your doctor. The nhs is ready and willing and keen to treat people if you have any concerns. The very same message you heard earlierfrom our gp this morning. All the way along we have been encouraging people to come in, be in touch with your gp. So those things can get diagnosed and recognised early, whether it be cancer or other conditions. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im Victoria Hollins drivers in lewisham have been issued with more than £3 million of fines for not following new low traffic neighbourhood rules. The set of road barriers, which aim to reduce through traffic, was brought in under covid 19 emergency transport measures injune, and has received mixed feedback. Camera enforced barriers which photograph licence plates are used instead of physical barriers, to allow buses through. Despite the cameras being in place, thousands of drivers drove through. The london fire brigade has spent the night sifting through debris, after a suspected gas esplosion killed two people in southall. It happened atjust after 6. 30 yesterday morning, in a hair salon and mobile phone shop on king street. Four adults and a child were rescued. Its not being treated as suspicious. As furlough draws to an end this month, London Councils are calling on the government to provide more support to the thousands of people who could soon be made homeless. The government says it will fund longer Term Accommodation and tailored support to end rough sleeping for good. But charities are also warning that Homeless People will not get the usual winter support, and councils also face challenging conditions. We now have to be saying it. Who can we truly afford to help . It should be everyone. The fact is we should be getting the money that there is no one who resides in london being homeless on our streets coming into this winter. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning. In southall, king street remains closed between the green and adelaide road following yesterdays gas explosion. At the blackwall tunnel, there are queues northbound from the Woolwich Road flyover. 0n the m25, its heavy clockwise through the roadworks. Thats from junction 5 sevenoaks to clacket lane services. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is a mild start this morning. Compared to yesterday, with all the rain and cloud, it is going to be much drier and much brighter. We will start the day with some sunny spells. A nice bright start. Patchy cloud, the risk of one or two showers today but it should stay largely dry in most places. Temperatures somewhere between 1a and 17 celsius as a maximum. 0vernight tonight, again still the risk of one or two showers but some clearer spells. Minimum temperatures, another mild night with some showers blowing through into tomorrow morning. Those showers through the early hours into friday could actually be quite heavy. Minimum between 9 and 11 celsius. For friday, still the risk of one or two of those showers first thing. Some bright spells first thing but we will slowly start to see the cloud increasing and thickening through the afternoon. Into the weekend, a breezy day on saturday. Dry through daylight hours, rain overnight and lets not forget the clocks go back on saturday night. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Bye for now. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. More supports due to be announced today for businesses hit by new coronavirus restrictions pubs and restaurants in tier 2 areas say theyve been caught in the worst of all worlds. From midnight tonight, almost 3 million more people in england will be living under the toughest measures to drive down infection rates, as Greater Manchester moves into tier 3. South yorkshire follows on saturday. Im 83. I dont give a sod. I look at it this way, ive not got all that many years left of me and im not going to be fastened in a house. They help make sure we are fed but feel we are being ignored. What do they want to hear from the chancellor today . Mps vote against Free School Meals being extended through the holidays in england but footballer Marcus Rashford vows to carry on campaigning. Liverpool get lucky in the champions league. A calamitous own goal, is enough for them to snatch a win against ajax in amsterdam. Good morning. Today some heavy rain across the north and east of scotland. For most of us it will be drier than yesterday with sunshine and a few showers. All the details in ten minutes. Its thursday, the 22nd of october. Our top story. The chancellor rishi sunak is expected to unveil new support for workers in parts of england that are under tier 2 restrictions thats the high alert level. It follows criticism that his winter economic plan was based on a model of falling Coronavirus Infections and a recovering economy. The new measures would apply to a number of cities including london and birmingham. 0ur Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake has more. Forced to close by law. Businesses in parts of england under the highest tier of restrictions know they will get some support. The government pays 67 of workers wages up to a maximum of £2,100 per month. But firms in areas under tier 2, where pubs and bars can stay open until 10pm, are facing what some call the worst of all worlds a fall in takings without enough support to stay afloat. Greater manchester moves into tier 3, the very high covid alert level, from tomorrow, South Yorkshire on saturday. 0pinions there are divided. I think its a good thing. I think we need a short, sharp shock, and hopefully, if everybody gets on board, thats what it will be and well go into it and we will come out of it the better off. Good. Why . Well, were not getting better. Weve got to get better sometime. I mean, im 84, weve been through world war ii and everything. This is worse, really. Im 83. I dont give a sod. I look at it this way. Ive not got all that many years left in me, and im not going to be fastened in a house when the government have got it all wrong. By the end of this year theres going to be millions of people unemployed. And do you know whos going to pay for it . All the young ones. Not me, because im going to be dead. In west yorkshire, parts of the north east of england, nottinghamshire and other areas in tier 2 which are in discussions about tighter restrictions, the chancellor has been under pressure from unions and business groups, to plug what they see as a gap in the governments approach. Just weeks ago, rishi sunak announced his winter economic plan, including wage support for workers in what are deemed viable jobs, whose hours have been cut. But there are warnings it may need a rethink as the virus has continued to spread and the economy faces further strain. Jonathan blake, bbc news. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent helen catt. Helen, its only a matter of weeks since rishi sunak announced hisjob support scheme and now hes having to change it. Well, yes. What we are expecting is to hear about potentially some more support for those businesses in the tier 2 areas, like birmingham, london and york. Some of the restrictions which have been brought in are hampering businesses but because they had not been told to shut they do not have a higher level of support like businesses in tier 3. What is having a real effect is a ban on mixing households indoors. Friends cannot meet for a pint in a pub ora friends cannot meet for a pint in a pub or a cafe and that is having an impact on businesses and their ability to continue. 0ptions that have been looked at include perhaps more taxpayer funded support for wages in tier 2 and grants are offered three local authorities. Thank you. A six week lockdown has begun in the republic of ireland. People are banned from socialising, while pubs, restaurants and bars have closed. Schools and childcare facilities remain open. The uk and European Union will resume talks today to try to agree on a post brexit trade deal. Discussions stalled last week, with downing street saying the negotiations were over. Yesterday the eus chief negotiator Michel Barnier told the European Parliament that a deal was within reach if both sides compromised. The government says talks will intensify but that its possible they wont result in an agreement. The former us president barack 0bama has accused donald trump of treating the presidency like a Reality Television show during an election rally in philadelphia. He made the comments as part of his First Campaign speech in support of his former Vice President , joe biden. Mr trump said the choice at next months election was between a trump boom or a biden lockdown. The foreign secretary dominic raab says hes deeply concerned by reports that a number of people were shot dead at a protest against Police Brutality in nigeria. Amnesty International Says at least 12 people were killed when troops opened fire in the countrys biggest city lagos. Demonstrations in nigeria over an allegedly corrupt police unit which has been disbanded have been taking place for the last two weeks. Too many hospitals supporting people with learning disabilities and autism are providing poor care which is at times undignified and inhumane. Thats according to the care regulatorfor england. The government, which commissioned the report, says its findings are deeply concerning. 0ur social Affairs Correspondent alison holt has the details. Through a hatch in the door of a bare seclusion room, bethany is reaching out to hold herfathers hand. Shes a teenager with autism and learning disabilities. For two years, bethany was living in long stay hospitals segregated from others, because her behaviour was said to be so challenging. This is bethany now. The 19 year old is thriving, living in a flat in the community with services built around her. It was her case which led to todays report. Her dad, who had to fight to get her moved, says hospital was always the wrong place for her. The environments beth was in in the hospitals, they were incredibly bright, they were full of fluorescent lighting. That fact in itself hurts beths sensory requirements. The noise in those places, with alarms going off, people screaming, the doors constantly slamming, theyre not therapeutic at all. Somebody like beth, with her sensory needs, is never going to get better in an environment like that. Despite promises for change following abuse scandals, the regulator says there is still too much poor care in long stay hospital wards. In some places patients were restrained on a daily basis. And the time people were secluded or segregated for, ranged from two days to 13 years. We found that people, the staff were looking after people in hospitals, often didnt have the and knowledge to understand how properly to use restraint, segregation, seclusion. And i think that often it was a case of not knowing how to meet peoples needs, not understanding autism, not really being clear about what are the triggers and the reasons behind peoples behaviour. So if you change the focus of training for staff, you get the right specialist staff in place, then it should both reduce the need to use any form of restrictive practices, and make sure that people have their needs properly met. The report says there needs to be more investment in the sort of Community Services that bethany now gets. And a minister to ensure a change happens. Alison holt, bbc news. A banksy painting inspired by a monet masterpiece has sold at auction for £7. 6 million. The work appropriately called show me the monet is based on the french impressionists famous water lily pond but with the idyllic scene ruined by fly tipping. It was expected to sell for between £3 million and £5 million. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Did morning. This morning, you may have some rain where you are, you may have some showers but through the course of the day, it will dry up the course of the day, it will dry up where it is wet stop some of us starting up on a drying out anyway. I will be sunshine. Currently there will be some heavy rain. There will be some heavy rain. There will be. This line here is the re m na nts of will be. This line here is the remnants of the weather front yesterday. What it is doing is thinking southwards that is a fairly wea k feature. Thinking southwards that is a fairly weak feature. As the rain pulls away from scotland, the winds are also easing. Drier in the Channel Islands, drier across southern england than yesterday. As we made that the north through the midlands, east anglia and into wales, a largely dry a picture with hazy sunshine. 0ne largely dry a picture with hazy sunshine. One or two showers across the far north in Northern England and the odd shower in Northern Ireland and the odd shower left with afair bit ireland and the odd shower left with a fair bit of cloud in eastern scotland. Western scotland will be brighter. Temperatures peaking at 17. Mild in the south east. Temperatures lower than yesterday. The highest temperature was in edinburgh yesterday, 17. 3. Today just over a 7 degrees drop. This evening and overnight there will be clear skies was that there will also be showers knocking around. Then we have got the next weather front coming in from the atlantic, introducing further spells of rain. It will be cooler than we have seen of late, except in the far south east. Tomorrow the band of rain will move from the west to the east, weakening all the time. By the time it eventually gets into the south east, there will be a band are clad with the odd spot of rain in it. For wales, Northern England and eastern scotland, the sun will come out that any scotland, the sun will come out that a ny west scotland, the sun will come out that any west there will still be showers and some of those have the potential to be heavy and thundery, possibly with some hail as well. Temperatures eight in the north and 15 in the south. Wet and windy on saturday. Do not forget the clocks go back this weekend as well. You know all about the weather, the rain. We had today a little later on, the World Championships for jumping in puddles. If he were to say the ideal depth for a paddle for a puddle splashing moment about what would you say . I cannot but help to think of the vicar of dibley. Do remember that scene . I would say, probably about that. That is a huge paddle, really deep. Then you get lots of splash, lots of water. I do not have wellies but i do not think i would ca re wellies but i do not think i would care about jumping into wellies but i do not think i would care aboutjumping into paddles with no wellies. It is a technique of the jump no wellies. It is a technique of the jump we will see more of later on. Just go for it, get in there, leaping and have fun. That is carols philosophy on life. Did you notice her eyes when we asked her a question like that. She doesnt quite know where it is going. As weve been hearing, the chancellor rishi sunak is expected to announce extra support later for businesses hit by the covid restrictions across england. Before we speak to nina about that, lets remind ourselves of the various measures across the uk. Pubs and restaurants are currently closed in Central Scotland and in Northern Ireland where schools are also shut for an extended half term. And wales will start a two week lockdown the so called firebreak tomorrow evening. In england, Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire will move into the toughest tier 3 restrictions later this week, joining the Liverpool City Region and lancashire. Other parts of the uk, marked here in orange, including london, essex and the north east, are in tier 2 which means a high alert area. Ninas at a wholesale market in manchester with more on this. Manchester is one of those places which is about to change many changes are about to kick in. Everyone, businesses and individuals, they are wondering how things will work out. Yeah. Let me talk to you about apples and wide tier system is matter. Have a look at these apples from cambridge are and of these lovely ones all the way from kent. They come here ready to go out to other suppliers but also to caterers. It could well be that a Bramley Apple from here could have ended up on a plate in an apple crumble ina ended up on a plate in an apple crumble in a liverpool restaurant. The ebb and flow that is dependent on the tier system affects the supply chain up and down the country. Lets talk to richard. Good morning. When restrictions come in in different parts of the country, how much of an impact does it have on your business . It has a big impact because we are buying produce every day. If the caterers are shut we are not supplying them. Every day. If the caterers are shut we are not supplying themm every day. If the caterers are shut we are not supplying them. It is not only about Greater Manchester, is it . No, it is about the legs, north wales, liverpool, yorkshire. The tentacles stretch all over. People like richard are waiting to hear what the chancellor has to say. Some businesses have said to us if i was in tier3 it businesses have said to us if i was in tier 3 it would be easier if i was forced to close. That way i would get a two thirds of my wages paid. I would get a grant of up to £3000. But in tier 3 year support at the moment means you have to pay 55 of your staffs salary. The government will top it up slightly but only if your staff work half the hours. The criticism is it is dependent on the economy picking up again. That is not happening as predicted. What might have the chance an ounce lighter . Speculation that in tier 2 there will be more than that of 22 support . Is it enough for all businesses . Karl represents wholesalers up and down the country. Good morning. You said earlier you very much feel invisible. Customerfacing outlets and hospitality have had a lot of support. What about you . Absolutely. We have had no acknowledgements from the government and the vital role we play, pubs, restaurants, care homes, schools, prisons, hospitals. So its essential that the wholesalers survive this and do well. We have seen survive this and do well. We have seen vat relief and hospitality. What you want to hear from the chancellor . We have had absolutely no support at all. In april, retailers were at 12 , 13 , wholesalers were down 80 . They received Business Rates relief. We received Business Rates relief. We receive nothing. We supply care homes. Can i give an example of how hour business works . Say, for example, we have a vehicle that goes out, it might have a 100 mile round trip. There may be 15 deliveries on that vehicle, of which we might have a care home, a school and the rest may be pubs and restaurants. If you ta ke may be pubs and restaurants. If you take away the pubs and restaurants, we have still got to have the driver, the fuel, all that vehicle for one or two deliveries, does make commercial sense. Explain how tiny your margins are . If there is a small consolation for some of these fruits, for example, in a restaurant in manchester, what happens to you guys . Well, we are stuck with the product. We cant sell it on. That is our profit for that delivery. It is our profit for that delivery. It is not viable. The tentacles stretch from these wholesalers up and down the country for things coming in and going out. When orders go up, when they go down, every business is affected on that supply route multiple. They want extra support in wholesale. Lots of businesses in Greater Manchester this morning talking about how interesting the timing is, that the chancellor is introducing measures for tier 2 a few days after they were introduced in london. In Greater Manchester they have had similar restrictions sincejuly. They have had similar restrictions since july. Really interesting to see how it is working in practice. We now the chancellor is making a statement today, late morning, i think. We dont know the detail of what he is saying but it is expected to be linked to some more help for businesses and individuals in tier 2 particularly. We will find out more later. 0bviously particularly. We will find out more later. Obviously we are trying to figure out what is happening wherever we are and we are trying to keep you informed. For information on the restrictions in your area, you can visit the bbc news website and use the postcode checker. You put your postcode in and it tells you what tier you are in and what restrictions apply. 19 minutes past seven. Mps have voted against plans to provide Free School Meals in england during holiday times. They did so by a majority of 61, although five conservative mps sided with labour to extend the scheme. It follows a high Profile Campaign by the england footballer Marcus Rashford. Lisa hampele reports. Breakfast club is the guarantee of a meal some children might not get at home. Throughout the Summer School holiday, many families relied on Free School Meal vouchers instead. With half time approaching, holiday hunger is again on the minds of many. Now we have parents who dont have jobs any more, so then we have to think about the parents who dont have jobs, how are they to survive . But labour lost their motion. It had accused the government of walking away from its obligations to hungry children. Only a handful of conservative mps voted with labour. If we acknowledge that children risk going hungry in term time by providing them with Free School Meals, despite the provision of universal credit and the other things that have been mentioned by the government, we know they risk going hungry in the holidays, too. Among the conservatives voting with the government was an mp with strong words aimed at parents and Marcus Rashfords campaign. Where is the slick pr campaign, encouraging absent parents to take some responsibility for their children . I do not believe in nationalising children. Instead, we need to get back to the idea of taking responsibility. In a Statement Last night, the footballer said. Our views are being clouded by political affiliation. This is not politics, this is humanity. And he went on. Were here to help but we require guidance and insight from those in number 10. The Prime Minister borisjohnson said the government will continue to use a benefit and income support system to help children through the holidays. In scotland and wales, families will be given food vouchers until next years easter holiday. Like in england, Northern Ireland has said Free School Meals will only be provided term time. Lisa hampele, bbc news. Werejoined now by louisa mcgeehan, from the Child Poverty action group. Good morning. What did you make of the vote last night . Good morning. We have reached a whole new level in the Pandemic Response and its such a shame. Marcus rashford and all those who have been inspired by his campaign will be so disappointed. And children will be left going without and parents getting even more anxious in the run up to christmas. Can you give us a sense of what it will mean in practice, in terms of some families and their lives . Well, the cost of a school meal per child, £2 30. Over the summer, meal per child, £2 30. Over the summer, one meal per child, £2 30. Over the summer, one of the things that pa rents were summer, one of the things that parents were telling us in their research was how much they appreciated it. Ithink research was how much they appreciated it. I think they had a voucher for £15. But for some of those families it made a massive difference. I think the real question weve got here is, why are we looking to this measure in the first place . As the government was saying, we dont normally provide Free School Meals in the holidays. There are two reasons. One, the pandemic. We are not in normal times. And the other reason is family incomes are not high enough for some families to be able to get by without this extra support. Can i put to you the government response . They have said, we have been giving substantial support to families and children by providing Free School Meals when schools are partially closed, increasing welfare support, giving councils a £63 million for families facing financial difficulty. The picture theyre painting is that there is sufficient provision already existing . painting is that there is sufficient provision already existing . I mean, the answer is that a lot has been done. And that is really appreciated. The extra money into universal credit has made a big difference to many families. But what was missing right from the beginning of this Pandemic Response was any Financial Support targeted directly at families and children. Without that extra support, families have been struggling. We have been recommending that actually you solve this problem completely by increasing child benefit. That is traditionally what families have, a sum of money to meet the needs of children. Im sure youve followed the debate with interest last night. There were times when it became very heated. And we know how the vote ended up. They were comments by the mp Brendan Clark smith who said that pa rents mp Brendan Clark smith who said that parents should take some responsibility for their children. He said he did not believe in nationalising children. And there will be people who have that thought process in relation to this issue, notwithstanding the campaign by Marcus Rashford, that there is a danger that responsibility here, there is some part of it missing in this equation . Yeah, i heard some of the debate. Such a shame to see it politicised in this way, really, when we are looking at helping some of the poorest kids in the country. For context, to be eligible for a Free School Meal a child has to be inafamily Free School Meal a child has to be in a family that is earning less than around £7,000. So youre earning less than 17 hours a week at minimum wage. So we are looking at really the poorest of the poor here. When they talk about parents taking responsibility, of course it is for pa rents to responsibility, of course it is for parents to provide food for their children. And thats one of the most important part of parenting, choosing, shopping for, making family meals, but when family incomes are too low, what the secretary of state did not say was that over the last ten years we have lost almost £a0 billion from the Social Security budget. So putting a bit back is appreciated, but when you see an elected families have been, while there has been money found for all sorts of schemes to support business, then you think, well actually, something is going wrong here when you cant look after the most Vulnerable Children and fulfil our moral responsibility. Louise, people often talk about disconnect between politics and people because mcgree lives. When you look at the numbers. 322 votes to 261. Is that what you think as well . There is a disconnect between what the politicians now and see and wa nt to what the politicians now and see and want to act on, and the reality of some peoples situation . Its really ha rd to some peoples situation . Its really hard to tell. What we saw was the result of a really kind of basic common sense measure being politicised. This was common sense, eve ryo ne politicised. This was common sense, everyone agreed it, there was no issue at all over the summer and the easter holidays. And the pretence i suppose that we are beyond the pandemic now and we dont need it any more. We absolutely do. It is really ha rd in any more. We absolutely do. It is really hard in different parts of the country arent likely to get worse. They need is there. I think one of the things that Marcus Rashford has done, which has been so great, is putting an ordinary everyday perspective to this, and people think, well, thats really sensible, we are not in ordinary times, what a sensible thing to do, to have some of the poorest kids in the country. Its really hard to understand, why not now . Why not continue that all the way through . What goodwill there would have been if that could be something that was maintained. Thank you very much for your time with this morning. Doctor of policy at the Child Poverty action group. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im Victoria Hollins. Drivers in south london have been issued with more than three Million Pounds of fines for not following new low traffic neighbourhood rules. The set of road barriers in lewisham, which aim to reduce through traffic, was brought in under covid 19 emergency transport measures in june. Camera enforced barriers which photograph licence plates are used instead of physical barriers, to allow buses through. But thousands of other vehicles have driven through too. The london fire brigade has spent the night sifting through debris, after a suspected gas esplosion killed two people in southall. It happened atjust after 6. 30 yesterday morning, in a hair salon and mobile phone shop on king street. Four adults and a child were rescued. Its not being treated as suspicious. If a 150 year old plane tree in hackney has been crowned englands tree of the year. The happy man tree just off Seven Sisters road won the award after the public voted overwhelmingly in its favour. But theres a campaign to save it after it was decided that the tree will be felled before the end of the year to make way for redevelopment. People who have played around this tree, people when it was maybe a bit smaller, climbed the tree. Its got such roots in this community and lots of people talk about it with a lot of love in their hearts. So i would definitely say its got a character of being a happy tree, bringing lots of happiness. A new film all shot at battersea power station just before the country went into lockdown is set to be released this week. Cognition stars flea bag actor andrew scott and londonerjeremy irvine. It was directed by Ravi Ajit Chopra for whom the film is fulfilling a childhood dream which started at the age of six when he began working at his familys video shop. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning in southall, king street remains closed between the green and adelaide road following yesterdays gas explosion. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is a mild start this morning. Compared to yesterday, with all the rain and cloud, it is going to be much drier and much brighter. We will start the day with some sunny spells. A nice bright start. Patchy cloud, the risk of one or two showers today but it should stay largely dry in most places. Temperatures somewhere between 1a and 17 celsius as a maximum. 0vernight tonight, again still the risk of one or two showers but some clearer spells. Minimum temperature is going to be another mild night with some showers blowing through into tomorrow morning. Those showers through the early hours into friday could actually be quite heavy. Minimum between 9 and 11 celsius. For friday, still the risk of one or two of those showers first thing. Some bright spells first thing but we will slowly start to see the cloud increasing and thickening through the afternoon. Into the weekend, a breezy day on saturday. Dry through daylight hours, rain overnight and lets not forget the clocks go back on saturday night. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. The Police Officer leading the response to the covid 19 pandemic has urged the government to make the three tier system rules clearer. Assistant chief constable 0wen weatherill says people are struggling to comply with restrictions because theyre too confusing, which could cause problems as millions of people in both Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire are about to have the highest level of measures imposed. Were joined now by the minister for crime and policing, Kit Malthouse. Good morning. Iwonder, should we runa clip good morning. Iwonder, should we run a clip of the assistant chief co nsta ble run a clip of the assistant chief constable and get your response to what he is saying . I made strong representations that we should look for simplified, consistent tears which would be the same wherever they were applied. That is what i thought was going to happen ten days ago. The reality is already starting to drift and as we have seen with tier 3, there are nuances coming in. There are a mixture of things you cannot imagine a and the tiering relates to both. That has confused the messaging plan. The one thing we are learning about this pandemic as it is challenging on all sorts of levels. What the Prime Minister tried to do in introducing the three tiers was to bring an element of clarity so people knew the situation in theirarea but clarity so people knew the situation in their area but then recognised in particular areas there are likely to be subtle differences that need to be subtle differences that need to be addressed, not least because the infection is growing in different areas in different ways and try to address that as well through a different set of measures, agreed with local leaders. That does create some complexity. There is plenty of information on the internet where people can go and inform themselves of the regulations in their areas. That is what we recommend Everyone Needs to do. We all recognise we have an individual duty towards our collective health and that means informing ourselves about the regulations in our area and complying with the rules. I do understand that between two particular areas that might be in tier3, there might be different variations and that makes it even more important for people to go and inform themselves. Interesting that he said he felt more consistent simplified tiers would have been implemented. Where do you think you got that from . We have been discussing the regulatory landscape with the police. The idea of three clear tiers that people could understand would have been discussed with them. The other thing to bear in mind, in particular areas in particular cities, the virus is spreading in different ways. Having a nuanced approach agreed with local leaders and then the local Resilience Forum on which the police it, involving local authorities, local services can embrace is key. We need to make sure local areas are communicating out to people. Well have a duty to go and inform ourselves and make sure we know clearly what the rules are in our area. clearly what the rules are in our area. we clearly what the rules are in our area. We all have. Clearly what the rules are in our area. We all have. Do you think people will comply now . Are they just fed up with the confusion regardless of you saying go to the internet and look at restrictions in areas . We are all fed up. No one is enjoying this experience. This is the moment as we see mounting that well have to grit our teeth and do our best to get through it. What we are seeing our best to get through it. What we are seeing across our best to get through it. What we are seeing across the country, polling is telling us there is strong support for measures being put in place and we are seeing high levels of compliance. The number of fixed penalty notices that are being handed out are in the low tens of thousands. Against a population of 65 million, that is tiny really and the majority people complying. Interesting you are saying that. As numbers rise, it is important to stick to our guns. We saw pictures in liverpool are people gathering in large crowds. We are showing them now. You are the policing minister, what is in place . What have you been told is likely to happen tonight in manchester, Greater Manchester, for example . Each force has its own plan around the next phase of the pandemic. We had distributed £60 million across the country, 32 local authorities and 32 Police Forces to help them with the effort to enforce the regulations. In the vast majority of cases, the police will be doing exactly what they did in the first wave of the pandemic, which is to encourage people and educate them about the regulations and hope they comply. In the vast majority of cases, that is exactly what is happening. We are seeing some people taking the mickey, frankly, and not complying. In those circumstances the police are enforcing. Particularly with unlicensed music events. Most people recognise the very dangerous moment for us in the pandemic and are complying and lets hope that continues. Have you been told of the plan tonight in manchester by the police . There have been ongoing conversations with the home office and Greater Manchester police and with the manchester generally about what the framer looks like. As you as you know, you have seen on the news, no doubt it has been on your programme, it has been contentious. We have reached a settlement. Everyone on the local resilience for forum will be working together. We need to come through this in the best shape as we possibly can. Rishi sunak will be announcing changes for business support. What is driving. I know you will not be able to tell us what he will announce but what has been thought of in terms of what support is being offered . You are right. I do not know what is coming this afternoon. What we have seen from the chancellor throughout the whole pandemic is a willingness to be agile as new impacts of the virus are felt. While the treasury are staying in close touch with the economy and the department of business is talking to business sectors, it is our ability to trim the sails of the ship as we go and thatis the sails of the ship as we go and that is what we will see this afternoon. There are lots of areas where people are filling mps inboxes with details of distress and concern which is all being fed in. Hopefully we will see the chancellor attack a little bit trim the sails to make sure we are getting the right balance across the economy. Yesterday we saw the mansion on Free School Meals rejected. What they do say to children perhaps watching this morning who are hungry. They may feel they have been let down and the government does not care. Hopefully these children will be going to school today and get Free School Meals provided as part of that situation. The decision last night, it is a really tough one and has been a Great Campaign by Marcus Rashford. We decided the best way to channel money to these families is through the welfare system. That is why there is an extra £9 billion gone into that system, an uplift of universal credit to £1000 a year. We have helped people with rents and given money to local authorities to help with hardship funding where families have particular difficulties. While we recognise the concern and the places concern is coming from, we think there is a different route by which we can assist those families and that is what we are trying to do. We dont decry the motivations and we hope our motivations wont be decried either in return. These are really tough decisions that are having to be made across the whole economy and across the whole population and we think this is the best route to get money to the low paid. Thank you for your time with us this morning. Now the sport. You have got some action, which is a lwa ys you have got some action, which is always good. Both liverpool and Manchester City coming to a potentially difficult nights in the champions league. And liverpool can thank their lucky stars, as they won in amsterdam, despite their injury problems. They beat ajax 1 0, thanks to this crazy own goal from Nicolas Tagliafico. Ball in from sadio mane but no one is exactly hassling the defender as hes completely wrong footed. A good finish. Just the wrong end. Manchester city had a more convincing night, although they had to come back from a goal down to beat porto 3 1. And what pleased Pep Guardiola the most was the team work between two young subsitutes, phil foden and Ferran Torres, with the spaniard finishing off the scoring. It was a great combination from phil and then ferran. Ferran has an incredible sense of goal. Incredible controlled dribbling from pepe. Hes a guy who moves really well. Hes a young player, really young. The most satisfaction is the way both of them they start they came in. Chris froome is really struggling at the vuelta a espana. After stage 2, hes a whopping, half an hour behind primoz roglich. Froome has said he had no expectations for this event, but its still a surprise to see a four time Tour De France winner losing touch so early on in the race. Hell now focus on supporting his team mate richard carapaz, whos in third place, Something Team ineos say was always part of their plans. The decision to allow fans back, for the American Golf event in houston this week is dividing opinion. Around 2,000 people will be there but three time masters champion Phil Mickelson has questioned the move, because the following week players are due to arrive, at augusta. He may skip this event and play a seniors event instead. But rory mcilory has missed the fans, and hes happy the correct protocols are in place. We need to still be careful and protect the communities that we play in as well but, if local officials there are comfortable with having fans on site and the pga tour are comfortable and working with local health experts, then im all for it. Its a gradual reintroduction back to having fans again but im certainly more comfortable with it now than i was maybe two or three weeks ago. Mcavoy is happy. Rory mcilroy is happy. World champion puddle jumping. Can we get a shot of mike for the technique . I never avoid it. Step aside from the podium. Towards the camera. That way. A six inch paddle, i reckon. Six inches. That actually splashed all over me. paddle, i reckon. Six inches. That actually splashed all over me. I now would be covered. A good landing. Were talking about one of lifes simplest pleasures today jumping in puddles. Well chat to an organiser of the annual world puddlejumping championships later. Lets see the sort of action theyre encouraging. Aaggghh he laughs ooh. Youre mad. There was just internetjoy to be had. Really simple pleasures. Infinite will stop you cannot do anything but smile when you jump into a paddle. We are asking you where you go today in the uk to find a good puddle. I would go to the north and east of scotla nd i would go to the north and east of scotland because we have got torrential rain there. We had a lot of rain yesterday. For some of us we still do have some showers. But essentially today, its going to be a drier day for most of us and it was yesterday. Some sunny spells, albeit hazy at times. What is happening is low pressure is pulling away towards scandinavia and its dragging the rain currently in scotla nd dragging the rain currently in scotland with it. We have this transient ridge of High Pressure before the next atlantic front comes our way later. This morning we still have the heavy rain but it will move away. We have also got some showers in Northern England, north wales. You can just make out this line of showers here from the wash towards the isles of scilly. That is a weather front sinking southwards. The showers fairly sporadic. A mostly dry day. Variable cloud. Some sunshine through the day. Temperature wise we are down on yesterday. The highest temperature in the land yesterday was in edinburgh at 17. 3. Today we are looking at 10 degrees today. London should squeeze out a 17 somewhere. As we head through the evening and overnight, there will be some clear skies, also watching this line of showers developing in the south west, pushing across southern areas in the direction of east anglia. At the same time our next atla ntic anglia. At the same time our next atlantic front comes our way introducing this rain. Temperature wise it will be colder than it has been for the past few nights. In london hanging on to milder conditions. During the course of tomorrow our weather fronts continue tomorrow our weather fronts continue to journey steadily towards the east, weakening all the time. This array of isobars behind them tell you we are looking at blustery conditions and also some blustery showers. We say goodbye to the dregs of the showers from overnight in the south east. Then we see this rain advance bringing in cloud. The rain turning patchy as it pushes towards the south east. Behind it, some sunshine and blustery showers. Thundery with some hail. Cooler on friday across the board. On saturday look what is coming our way. Friday night this low pressure advances on saturday it crosses us. The rain courtesy of the weather fronts. Wherever you are on saturday it is going to be a windy day. Inland we are looking widely at gusts of a0 to 55 mph. Across the irish sea 60 mph plus. Then we have got all this rain. It could be quite disruptive. Behind it we are looking at brighter skies and some showers. But once again temperatures climbing a little bit. As for sunday, it is a mixture of bright spells, some sunshine, some showers, some of them are emerging, breezy as well, and feeling cool. Dont forget the clocks go back this weekend. Naga and charlie. Thank you. 13 minutes to eight. People from black and minority ethnic backgrounds will get workplace risk assessments to offer extra protection from coronavirus thats one of the measures in a government report intended to address the higher prevalence of the virus among bame communities. But some medical experts say focusing on ethnicity isnt the right approach. Our community Affairs Correspondent Adina Campbell reports. This is my late brother and myself in rangoon at one of the restaurants. Its a very nice restaurant. Remembering his brother, six months on since he died of coronavirus. As a family we were all devastated for many months. And as a family we think a hospital or government could do a bit more after my brother passed away. This doctor was a specialist in neurological rehabilitation at the Royal Berkshire hospital in reading. His family says he had concerns about the lack of ppe while at work. He died in april after catching the virus. An investigation into his death is ongoing, and Royal Berkshire Nhs Foundation trust says it is waiting for the results of the report. Today the government has published new findings on covid disparities and is giving more details about how it is going to improve Health Outcomes for people from ethnic minority backgrounds. They include recording ethnicity on death certificates in england as a way of tracking which groups are more at risk. Its also going to spend more than £25 million on a new Community Champion scheme to help protect the most vulnerable. And workplace risk assessments for everyone to improve Health Conditions and reduce the number of deaths. So why are people from ethnic minorities more at risk of dying from coronavirus . They are more likely to live in poorer areas, with limited access to the health care they need, and because of this they may be in shared housing, meaning there is a greater chance of catching the virus. And we know people from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to have underlying Health Conditions linked to higher coronavirus death rates. But one government adviser who has just been appointed to look at this issue more closely says we shouldnt solely concentrate on ethnicity. So my suggestion Going Forward is that instead of using ethnicity as the criteria by which you see whether someone needs extra testing or extra attention, is look at the actual risk factor thats causing it. Look at overcrowded housing, their deprivation, their occupation etc. And then you will capture everybody. Those behind the report though say it will lead to a clearer understanding of how much people from ethnic minorities are affected by coronavirus, and help protect those most at risk. Deprivation is one of the risk factors we have taken into account. We are doing this across the population for those people that we believe are vulnerable. I think that we have a responsibility to show that they are not being left behind. And as a black woman, thats something that i have personally taken an interest in. But for some Health Workers who are seeing first hand the impact of this virus in local communities, todays report doesnt go far enough. Chris is a gp and also caught coronavirus earlier this year. This seems to be a proposaljust to gather more data and give the impression of doing something rather than actually doing something. For those who have lost loved ones, todays report has come too late. But the hope is it could help other families avoid similar tragedies. Adina campbell, bbc news. The time now is nine minutes to eight. When it comes to classic british cars, there are plenty of models which can make petrol heads go weak at the knee the aston martin db5, the jaguar e type, the rolls royce silver ghost. But what about the humble mini metro . That is the car we can see behind us. The rust prone runabout turns a0 this year. And while it wasnt universally popular at the time, the metro still has plenty of fans. Before we meet a couple of them, lets get a bit of hatchback history. Music well, i dont believe it. What stupid. Nigel nice to see you. Gentlemen, i see youre admiring the new colour key bumpers. Very smooth, very chic. Weve got these brochures for the new metro. Its a lovely car. Im not driving a mini metro. But you do have to make some substantial savings. Im not driving a mini metro. Taking a few people back seeing those images. Lets speak now to metro superfan gerrard shaw, and stephen laing, from the british motor museum. Gerard, lets talk about you and your motor, first of all. Share the love of the metro with us right now. What is so special about it . Yes, the metro you see behind me has been my first car since 200a. For me it was a birthday present. There is an emotional connection. My family as well. But for me by my parents and my grandparents. When you got it for your 18th birthday had you asked for a metro . Yeah. I did say to my pa rents a metro . Yeah. I did say to my parents i wanted a metro. Growing up my dad had lots of them. All my memories growing up were always in a metro. All the bits and pieces you would buy for it. Yeah, it was a lwa ys would buy for it. Yeah, it was always in my head i wanted to get a metro and follow in his footsteps. Not everyone necessarily shares your love of the car. I think its fantastic. You clearly have a bond. If you drive it around, what kind of reaction do you get . Yeah, this one lives a spoiled life these days. It comes out for shows and events. But when i do to take it out its amazing really. You get a thumbs up at traffic lights. You get out of the petrol station. If i had £1 for every time someone says, i have one of those, i would probably be driving around in an aston myself now, to be fair it brings out good memories and people. Lots of people had them as a first car or a family runabout. But he seems to have a memory. They always tell you about a member of their family who had one. Or they learned to drive and of themselves. Its an emotional attachment. Steven langton, you have held this online exhibition to pay tribute to the metro. We have heard from gerard there, the passion about it. Why do you think it resonates with so many people . We have more than 300 cars in the museum. People dream of owning a vintage car, whatever they might aspire to. They spent all their time trying to find the car they went to school in or let learned to drive in. There were 2 million metros. It was a bestseller. It is part of peoples everyday lives when they were going to school. Some people used to call ita to school. Some people used to call it a rust bucket. That was a problem with metro. Gerard alludes to it, that lives a spoiled life. It was not the most durable of cars . You have to put it a little bit in contact with the other things around at the time. When it came out, actually, it was a great scar, spacious, economicaland actually, it was a great scar, spacious, economical and up with the best that the europeans could provide on the market. But of course anybody who knows anything, it got a bit ofan anybody who knows anything, it got a bit of an unfair reputation probably given the number that actually made it onto the road. It is great now that people see it a little bit more fondly as 40 years have passed. Gerard, tell us a little bit more about you and your motor . Do you have a name for your car . Mine is really original. Messy. Do you consider the card to be male or female . Does it have an identity, a character . Not really, but female . Does it have an identity, a character . Not really, but i do give ita character . Not really, but i do give it a little pat on the back of the roof when i close up for the night or it passes the mot. roof when i close up for the night or it passes the mot. I talked to my car too. I think its a good thing to do. When it does well, when it is taking you on a long journey or passes the mot, well done. It is a long established relationship. You say you take it out for a ride. Are yourfamily as say you take it out for a ride. Are your family as keen say you take it out for a ride. Are yourfamily as keen being in it as yourfamily as keen being in it as you are . My dad has driven it once. I was kind of glad to get back on the drivers said afterwards. There isa the drivers said afterwards. There is a bit of care and pride when you come back with a prize from a shell. Its a real family thing. My grandad did some work in the car as well. Sadly he is no longer with us. Again it is like a little memory. Thats the thing. Cars do mean things. Stephen, you remember cars in terms of life and what was happening at certain times. The metro, it actually represented something in terms of the economy, the political situation at the time when it first came out a0 years ago due yeah, it was sort of the great white hope at the end of british leyland, really. They were a little bit late to the party when it came to a new small car. There was plenty of competition from france, germany and italy. It turned into a real initial success story. It sort of saved the company at the time. And it got people driving british. Gerard, i absolutely embrace the idea that you love your car that much and its still knocking around. Funny enough, i saw still knocking around. Funny enough, isawa still knocking around. Funny enough, i saw a three wheeler only yesterday. There is something about seeing an older car, just makes you smile a little bit. Its great. Lovely to see you this morning. Thank you. Good luck. Stephen as well, thank you. We had loads of comments coming through. Nick had a bright orange metro he bought from his grandad. £750. He said, great times in a tangerine dream machine. I love the detail as well. David got in touch. Mum had two of them, one broke down travelling in dorset. The pet hamster was in the car as well. These are the kind of things you remember. Thank you. I was wanted a ford capri. Do you remember those . They were flash. They were selfless. Very professionals. Very professional. As in bodi endowed . Stay with us, headlines coming up. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. More supports due to be announced today for businesses hit by new coronavirus restrictions. Pubs and restaurants in tier 2 areas say theyve been caught in the worst of all worlds. From midnight tonight, almost three million more people in england will be living under the toughest measures to drive down infection rates, as Greater Manchester moves into tier 3. South yorkshire follows on saturday. Good morning, but what about the vegetable growers, the lorry drivers, the market traders who say they have been invisible . What do they have been invisible . What do the supply chain want to hear from the supply chain want to hear from the chancellor later today . Inside europes largest cancer unit how patients at manchesters christie hospital continue to receive life saving care during the pandemic. We had an unexpected early phone call and i have no more cancerous cells in my body. Its the one trophy that keeps getting away from Manchester City, but theyre off to a flier in their tenth attempt to win the champions league, with victory in a fiery fightback. Good morning, weve got some heavy rain at the moment across the north and east of scotland. That will clear away and for most of us, its going to be a dry day with some sunshine, just a few showers. I will have all the details in ten minutes. Its thursday the 22nd of october. Our top story. The chancellor rishi sunak is expected to unveil new support for workers in parts of england that are under tier 2 restrictions thats the high alert level. It follows criticism that his winter economic plan was based on a model of falling Coronavirus Infections and a recovering economy. The new measures would apply to a number of cities, including london and birmingham. Our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake has more. Forced to close by law. Businesses in parts of england under the highest tier of restrictions know they will get some support. The government pays 67 of workers wages up to a maximum of £2,100 per month. But firms in areas under tier 2, where pubs and bars can stay open until 10pm, are facing what some call the worst of all worlds a fall in takings without enough support to stay afloat. Greater manchester moves into tier 3, the very high covid alert level, from tomorrow, South Yorkshire on saturday. Opinions there are divided. I think its a good thing. I think we need a short, sharp shock, and, hopefully, if everybody gets on board, thats what it will be and well go into it and we will come out of it the better off. Good. Why . Well, were not getting better. Weve got to get better sometime. I mean, im 84, weve been through world war ii and everything. This is worse, really. Im 83. I dont give a sod. I look at it this way. Ive not got all that many years left in me, and im not going to be fastened in a house when the government have got it all wrong. By the end of this year theres going to be millions of people unemployed. And do you know whos going to pay for it . All the young ones. Not me, because im going to be dead. In west yorkshire, parts of the north east of england, nottinghamshire and other areas in tier 2 which are in discussions about tighter restrictions, the chancellor has been under pressure from unions and business groups, to plug what they see as a gap in the governments approach. Just weeks ago, rishi sunak announced his winter economic plan, including wage support for workers in what are deemed viable jobs, whose hours have been cut. But there are warnings it may need a rethink as the virus has continued to spread and the economy faces further strain. Jonathan blake, bbc news. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent helen catt. There will be a lot of individuals and businesses as well listening very carefully to what rishi sunak is saying and, from what we know, i know we dont know the detail, there is going to be something put forward. Yes, what we are expecting is that there will be some more support for those businesses you heard about in the peace there in tier 2, who are being particularly hit by rules like the ban on household mixing indoors, but havent yet been told to shut by the government. So we are expecting that is where the support is going to be tailored, in areas currently under those sort of restrictions in places like york, birmingham and essex. The treasury is always really tight lipped about the sort of statements, so we dont know exactly what the chancellor is going to announce but options we understand that have been discussed are grants issued through local councils and also perhaps the government paying more of workers wages in tier 2. At the moment, they pay 22 of workers who have been asked to go part time, the government pays 22 of their wages so one the government pays 22 of their wages so one option discussed is a thing about. Here is what the policing minister Kit Malthouse had to say. There are lots of areas where, you know, people are filling the inbox of their mps with distress and concern, that is all being fed in and hopefully this afternoon we will see the chancellor trimmed the sails to make sure we are getting the right balance in terms of the support we are offering across the economy. So i think one of the important things we are looking out for is what is the scale of the support that is offered and im so sure labour will be looking for quite a large uplift bear, and, also, weve heard a lot about the chancellor being agile in his approach to this and downing street has said as circumstances change, they have to be able to adapt but they have to be able to adapt but the chancellor has been in the common several times tweaking his plans that were only announced last month, so it is a tricky balance between being agile and adapting that looking like it has a strategy. Helen, thank you very much. A six week lockdown has begun in the republic of ireland. People are banned from socialising in each others homes and pubs, restaurants and bars have closed. Schools and childcare facilities remain open. The uk and European Union will resume talks today to try to agree on a post brexit trade deal. Discussions stalled last week, with downing street saying the negotiations were over. Yesterday, the eus chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, told the European Parliament that a deal was within reach if both sides compromised. The government says talks will intensify, but that its possible they wont result in an agreement. The former us president barack obama has accused donald trump of treating the presidency like a Reality Television show during an election rally in philadelphia. It was mr obamas First Campaign speech in support of his former Vice President , joe biden. Our north america correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports. It was a strange way to attend a political event. They came in their cars to see their former president s first drive in rally forjoe biden. I think what barack obama brings is the sense when america was great. When we were happy to go out, when we could go out and have a good time, when we were respecting and loving each other. When barack obama got on stage in philadelphia, he didnt hold back in his criticism of the man who replaced him in the white house, saying Donald Trumps behaviour had been unacceptable and a poor example to american children. There are consequences to these actions. They embolden other people to be cruel and divisive and racist. Part of the reason he came to this city was to encourage African Americans to vote. Many remain disillusioned. There no point in really voting. Thats how i look at it. I dont see no point in voting, bro. Its like a lost cause. A decrease in black voter turnout here in 2016 is seen as a big reason Hillary Clinton lost this key state to donald trump. Down the road, barack obama dropped by a community centre. Youll get some folks who say, well, im not going to vote. His input could be crucial to reversing that fall in black voting forjoe biden. Notjust in this city. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, philadelphia. Sir Paul Mccartney has unexpectedly announced a brand new album, which he recorded during lockdown. Mccartney iii is the third part of a trilogy he started 50 years ago he released mccartney i in the 1970s and mccartney ii in the 1980s. The former beatle said he had no plans to create an album this year, but changed his mind after experimenting with some old tracks in his home studio. Well, that was the great thing about the album, i didnt know i was making an album. And that really makes a difference. Ijust went in and was thinking, ah, it be goood to finish this one up. I could do this one, thatd be ok. I never suspected for one second that this was going to be an album. Theres one called seize the day. That had echoes of the pandemic. You know, when the cold days come, we always think we would seize the day, so thatjust reminded myself and anyone listening that, you know, youve got to grab the good stuff. But it certainly helped me. There you go. Theyll be a lot of people very excited about that. You know we were talking about the mini metro and its a0th anniversary and lots of people have been getting in touch, wanted a ford capri and you said it was in the professionals. A little bit of trivia, bodhi and doyle started off with a triumph dolomite and sweet mac delete switched to the ford capri because the dolomite wasnt fast enough. And i think in between that was an forward escort, but whatever bodi and doyle were driving, it was fast bodie. Iam very bodie. I am very impressed, and i very rarely say this, with you and your professionals knowledge. I think carol would look great in a ford capri, did you have one . Ididnt capri, did you have one . I didnt but i used to love starsky and hutch, remember when they used to whack on top of the car. But imagine if that image had been spoiled if theyd have been driving a mini metro, it wouldnt have been the same, would it . No, icant the same, would it . No, i cant argue with that one. What have you got for us . I have a bit of everything this morning because for some, it is cloudy, the son it is wet, there are a few showers, as well as some heavy rain but some of us are also looking at some blue skies, as this beautiful weather watcher from the isle of wight shows us. As i mentioned, some sunshine in the forecast today, albeit hazy. Starting off with some heavy rain across the north and east of scotland, that will eventually pull away and we have showers across Northern England, Northern Ireland and this line of showers you can make out in the chart, this is a wea k make out in the chart, this is a weak weather front which is slowly slipping southwards and weakening all the time so showers across southern areas will become more sporadic and, in between all of these areas of rain and showers, we are looking at brighter skies or hazy sunshine. So a fine afternoon across the Channel Islands and much of southern england, watch out for one or two rogue showers in the same for wales, the midlands and into east anglia. Southern parts of england should be mostly dry but a few more showers across the northern half of northern ingrid. Northern ireland, drying out view, western scotla nd ireland, drying out view, western scotland seeing some sunshine but as the heavy rain falls away from eastern scotland, you will be left with a fair bit of cloud and the odd spot. Temperatures generally down on yesterday, the top temperature was in edinburgh yesterday, today we are looking at ten or 11 but 17 is likely to be the highest we are going to see in london. Through this evening and overnight, there will be clear skies, some showers and a line developing from South West England through the midlands heading towards the south east and then we have this next area of rain coming in from the west. A cooler night for most than the previous couple and as we pick the previous couple and as we pick the forecast up for tomorrow, there goes the rain pushing steadily southwards and eastwards and weakening all the time. Behind it, some dry weather, some brightness and sunshine but some blustery showers and some of those could be heavy and thundering and cooler across the board. It is looking pretty windy for most of us on saturday. Carol, thanks very much. On yesterdays breakfast, we took you inside europes largest dedicated cancer centre, the christie in manchester, to give you an insight into how doctors there have been providing care throughout the pandemic. Today, were focusing on its patients. Jayne mccubbin has been to meet two of them and hear their stories. The start of your cancer journey was the very start of covid, wasnt it . Thats correct, yeah. That was definitely the lowest point. It was bad hearing it, and dealing with it, but coming home and telling the children. I asked the doctor, will i be here in 12 months time . He said, well, maybe five, six months. And to be told news that you werent expecting, bad news, and i had all of that information out of the blue and. On your own. It was hideous, actually. Gabriel and kathryn are both facing the double whammy of cancer in the time of covid. But, for catherine, covid is far too close for comfort. With an eldest daughter who has the virus, and a younger daughter self isolating upstairs because of the virus, shes about to hear news. Ive just had a phone call from the hospital to say the results have been brought forward to today. Crazy situation theyre in. This is a roller coaster for the whole family. Libbs . Libbs, its jayne from the bbc come to your bedroom window and chat so i will be hearing from them. Any minute now. Hello hello, you how are you feeling . Weird. Itsjust kind of a precautionary measure. Ive had seven months of thinking, maybe im going to be the one that passes it on to her. Your nerves must be shredded. Its horrible, its awful yeah. For gabriel, a terminal diagnosis during lockdown, farfrom family, has been almost entirely solitary. When i informed my children, their first reaction was, were on our way, but they couldnt, because we were on lockdown then. The thing is about the cancer, at least i was able to go out, whereas, with this virus, i was in lockdown 24 hours a day. But there is one person who saved him from the solitude of the virus. My nurse, hilary, she is in constant touch with me. Its not just to discuss treatment. She rings up, what are you up to . How are you getting on . She doesnt have to ring, but she does. Thats it as we film, the call comes through. Hi. Sorry, say it again. How do you ride a roller coaster of cancer and covid like this . How do you cope . You dont have a choice. You have no choice, you just have to get on with it. Yes. You take each thing as it comes. Have you really worried about your mum . Yeah. Its really, really worrying. She said youre good at hugs. Yeah. She smiles a lot. Just because you couldnt write it. You just couldnt write a year like this. Oh, yes it sounds good. All good. No more cancer. There you go. Illjust check whether weve got any fizz in the fridge for later. So far, gabriel has outlived that first prognosis by two months. Powered by the hope he has been gifted. Hiya, hilary. Hello. Look, ive got you these. Its for all the phone calls, for the reassurance, for being there for me from the start of this. Its just a little appreciation. Thats lovely, thank you. Thank you. Thats absolutely incredible. Incredible. You always want to be able to give them something. To give them some hope. I fully appreciate what it feels like getting the phone calls, what it means to me that you have concern, you do. Youre an inspiration to me as well. Its not just a job to you. And it makes such a difference. I want to be able to Say Something thats going to help him, you know, go to the next day and the next day and take every day as it comes. After each one of our phone calls im straight on to them because im on a high, because youve lifted me. Ijust wanted to know i appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much. I wish i could give you a hug. Thank you. How are you . Im good, thank you. How are you . Good. Are you feeling better . I feel fine in myself. When im sat down. Its when i get up and move so, we have news. You have news . Yeah. We have news. We had an unexpected early phone call. And i have no more cancerous cells in my body. Whoo how good is that . Well done. So no more operations . No, theyre doing the reconstruction operation. Yeah. In one to two weeks. Oh, new boobs in two weeks . thats amazing. Thats brilliant news. Its really good, isnt it . Yeah. No more cancer in mummy send you a big virtual hug. Love you lots. Thats such good news. It is so great. So many people have been deprived human touch during this pandemic, and to be deprived it during a cancerjourney is brutal. But compassion can be conveyed in other ways. Hope too. What do you believe your outlook is . You know, what are you thinking lies ahead now . Im very positive. And do you know, i did almost cry once talking to hilary, because she asked me a similar question, and i thought, you know what im looking forward to . Her ringing me and saying. Excuse me. Youre all right. Youre all clear. Term has been watching this morning, because jane got in touch, sharing his story, and he was really pleased, because he wanted to tell his four sons that he loves them and hopes to see them again soon once it is safe to do so. It is so lovely seeing his relationship with the nurse, which is clearly so important for him. And thank you to kathryn as well. We should update you about her situation, because that phone call that she wasnt expecting, the wonderful news, sharing it with us as well. To update you on her circumstances, she had her Reconstructive Surgery only yesterday, and we are pleased to say, this has come directly from her, it has all gone well. Were joined now by professor pat price, who is a clinical oncologist. Shes in cheshire. Good morning to you. We have heard two stories there that are very, very moving, one in a very different place to another at the moment, but highlighting a real problem right now, real concern that people are not necessarily bringing themselves forward and as a result not getting the treatment. Yes. They were very heartening stories, though, werent they . Showing how amazing people can be and the front line staff, and yes, it is worrying, and as the doctor said this morning, and professor cunningham, we do need people to come forward. And i know it is frightening, there are lots of things to be frightened about at the moment, but really dont, you can act. If you have got a lump or pain or you are passing blood, anything thatis or you are passing blood, anything that is not right, breathing, phone yourgp. That is not right, breathing, phone your gp. Remember, even if it is a telephone call, they can help you, and remember, most patients it will be nothing and you can be reassured. And if you do need an urgent cancer referral, that will be made, and just remembered that nine out of ten people with those urgent referrals are reassured and they are fine. So remember, there is very positive here. A lot of the time you will be com pletely here. A lot of the time you will be completely reassured, and if you are not, you have caught it early and usually we will be able to do a lot about it. Please, dont be frightened, you can come forward, you can do your bit. Professor price, such an Important Message and you put it across very well. You have first hand experience, and we know there are practical problems in relation to health care, and it is affecting Cancer Treatments sometimes. What do you see in terms of the units you work in . Yes, i think we see whatjeremy hunt alluded to in your piece yesterday, is we see that the services have been very much disrupted, completely disrupted in march and april time, and they have unfortunately been very slow to get back. As jeremy hunt said, Cancer Services are getting back up, but they are not 100 . But as he so clearly said, to deal with the backlog, they are going to have to be increased by 20 over the 100 for two years, so that means we have got to do so much more. And the problem is, the front line staff are doing herculean tasks, we have seen in your programme. We cant just tasks, we have seen in your programme. We cantjust say to them, worked 20 more, we have got to find solutions, which is why we set up the catch up to cancer campaign. On that note, we know that eve ryo ne campaign. On that note, we know that everyone is looking at these figures, and as the infection rate grows, there is this pause, isnt it . We have a two or three week period, and then we see hospital admissions. How concerned are you about the time period coming up now, going into november and december, about the impact of how the infection rate is now, what we know is coming . We are concerned, obviously, but i think everybody knows, if they play their cards and follow the guidelines and keep their distance in, we can keep the numbers going into hospital at a level that we can manage. As going into hospital at a level that we can manage. As you going into hospital at a level that we can manage. As you have heard today, the hospitals, although they are working so hard, they are going to try to keep up the cancer operations as well. We learned a lot from the first time, we can treat Cancer Patients better now, and we know that we must continue, and we have to continue with the services, and we can do. One of the other issues that certainly cropped up early on, in april and may, was nhs staff themselves, and those people who either contracted covid or maybe had a family member, so they were self isolating there are real issues for. I dont know your own personal circumstances or people you work with, if there is a problem in the community, there is a knock on effect about staffing levels. Absolutely. Although may i say, everybody has done so well on the front line, and i think that this is true, remember, we went into this covid crisis on the back of austerity, the nhs had a lack of funding, we had some International Studies out just before funding, we had some International Studies outjust before we went into lockdown. The uk yet again were at the bottom of the league for cancer survival. We were hoping to put this right and then covid has come. There is an absolute workforce crisis, and that cant be solved overnight. But our message is there are Smart Solutions to solve this problem. Just in one example, radiology for diagnosis, i know there is a plan for professor richards with digital technology, from our end in the treatment site, we have set forward a six point plan to boost radiotherapy. The great Technical Solutions that you can solve a lot of these problems, we need Smart Solutions, we can do this, but we have to be given the tools to do it, and that means investment. Professor price, really good to talk to today, thank you so much. An oncologist, some practical experience there, a subject we have talked about before and we will no doubt revisit again, so and we will no doubt revisit again, so important, that first point she made about coming forward in the first place. And it is scary, it is scary. Many of the diagnoses, you know, they are nothing. But keep talking if you are worried. Time to find out what is happening wherever you are this morning. Good morning from bbc london, im Victoria Hollins. Drivers in south london have been issued with more than £3 million of fines for not following new low traffic neighbourhood rules. The set of road barriers in lewisham, which aim to reduce through traffic, was brought in under covid 19 emergency transport measures in june. Camera enforced barriers, which photograph licence plates, are used instead of physical barriers to allow buses through. But thousands of other vehicles have driven through too. The london fire brigade has spent the night sifting through debris after a suspected gas esplosion killed two people in southall. It happened atjust after 6 30 yesterday morning in a hair salon and mobile phone shop on king street. Four adults and a child were rescued. Its not being treated as suspicious. As furlough draws to an end this month, London Councils are calling on the government to provide more support to the thousands of people who could soon be made homeless. The government says it will fund longer Term Accommodation and tailored support to end rough sleeping for good. But charities are also warning that Homeless People will not get the usual winter support and councils also face challenging conditions. We now have to be saying it. Who can we truly afford to help . It should be everyone. The fact is we should be getting the money that there is no one who resides in london being homeless on our streets coming into this winter. A new film, all shot at battersea power station just before the country went into lockdown, is set to be released this week. Cognition stars fleabag actor andrew scott and londonerjeremy irvine. It was directed by Ravi Ajit Chopra, for whom the film is fulfilling a childhood dream. Find out more on our 6 30pm programme. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning. In southall, king street remains closed between the green and adelaide road following yesterdays gas explosion. A13, usual delays westbound from goresbrook to beckton. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Its a mild start this morning. Compared to yesterday, with all the rain and cloud, its going to be much drier and much brighter. Well start the day with some sunny spells, a nice bright start. Patchy cloud, the risk of one or two showers today, but it should stay largely dry in most places. Temperatures somewhere between 1a and 17 celsius as a maximum. Overnight tonight, again, still the risk of one or two showers but some clearer spells. Its going to be another mild night with some showers blowing through into tomorrow morning. Those showers through the early hours into friday could actually be quite heavy. Minimum between nine and 11 celsius. For friday, still the risk of one or two of those showers first thing. Some bright spells first thing, but we will slowly start to see the cloud increasing and thickening through the afternoon. Into the weekend, a breezy day on saturday. Dry through daylight hours, rain overnight and lets not forget the clocks go back on saturday night. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Still to come on todays programme. Well be hearing captain sir tom moores verdict on some of the paintings of him which are about to be auctioned off for charity there are more than 100 for sale. He is absolutely delighted by them, we see them react with his daughter, absolutely lovely. The rip off britain team have a special week of live programmes theyll be on bbc one immediately after breakfast. Gloria, angela and julia are here to tell us whats coming up today. Yes, we are ready, willing and able, thank you very much indeed.

It is like living a nightmare and we are banging our heads against brick wall. Well be looking at what rights you have if you end up in a situation like that. Plus the criminals hacking into ebay accounts, to get hold of your money. Stay watching to make sure it doesnt happen to you. And calling all you gardeners were looking at seeds, in particular, how a load of you have been getting them through the post despite the fact, you never ordered them. And our experts will be here to answer your questions today, its tech wizard david mcclelland. So if youve got comments or question for us, you know the address ripoffbritain bbc. Co. Uk. And we look forward to your company once again at 9. 15. See you then. So much going on in rip off britain this morning. The annual poppy appeal is being launched today, but, like so many other things this year, it wont be business as usual. The british legion has devised a plan to help us honour the fallen while also tackling the spread of a new enemy coronavirus. Tim muffett has the details. We will remember them. But, this year, it will be different. With so many remembrance events cancelled, the Royal British legion wants us to remember in our homes and gardens, in our windows and on our doorsteps. Bill is a 95 year old royal navy veteran of d day and the Burma Campaign in world war ii. Most years, he would be out collecting for the poppy appeal. You know, we cant go anywhere, i cant go out. Youre just locked up. It is a bit annoying. So this year many Remembrance Services wont be taking place. What about the idea of remembering in our own homes instead, or on our doorsteps . Yeah, that would be ok, just to remember. I mean, both of the world wars, i think, is something that we should not forget. To mark todays launch of the poppy appeal, the Royal British legion has released these images of volunteers, veterans and serving members of the armed forces. Nicole is a nurse and reservist in the royal navy. I was honoured to take part in the photo, because its remembering not only our past, but also our present. We have heroes in our past and i think we do have heroes of today. We went through a lot back then, and were still going through a lot now. Homes and front doorsteps have played such a key part this year, havent they . We were clapping for carers, weve been locked in. Hows it been for you this year . Just like everyone, i believe it was quite scary at first, the unknown. As a paramedic, i was able to support people in the community, whether that was physically or mentally. A lot of people who would typically collect for the poppy appeal wont be able to this year. Yet given the hardships being faced by so many, the Royal British legions support for members of the armed forces past and present, as well as their families, has never been more important. With so many older fundraisers unable to leave their homes, younger people are being encouraged to help. My name is poppy. Why i think im called that is because our family, we had great great great uncles in world war i. Pppy, youre just 11 years old. Why is it important that young people like you still get involved in the Poppy Campaign . Its really important not to forget about them, because it. Its history. Its. Part of life. Almost inevitably this year, less money will be raised from cash donations, so online giving is being encouraged. Poppies can also be sent in the post or printed out and displayed in a window. Applause homes and streets have developed new meaning during the pandemic. From now until november the 11th, they will also shape the way we remember. Tim muffett, bbc news. Were joined now by simon oleary from the Royal British legion hes in sale lovely to have you with us, it is a very different year, isnt it . Good morning, yes, and thank you, that video compilation was brilliant. Can i first say thank you to barry and tricia and all of our volunteers, it has been a very challenging year already but we do go into this yea rs already but we do go into this years appeal positive that we can make it successful and make every pppy make it successful and make every poppy count and bring the nation together in remembrance. I willjust say, our technical wizards are trying to get barry and tricias lines are settled so we can talk to them as well but in the meantime, we will stick with you, simon. Just give me an idea, you mentioned barry and tricia, how important it is that people are still obviously so passionate about this and commemorating this but actually put the effort in . Yes, we rely on around a0,000 the effort in . Yes, we rely on around a0 , 000 volunteers the effort in . Yes, we rely on around a0,000 volunteers every year to bring the poppy appeal into peoples homes and communities and, this year, many of those volunteers are not this year, many of those volunteers a re not really this year, many of those volunteers are not really able to take part in the way they traditionally would, so as your pee so brilliantly showed, we are asking people still to sort the appeal as your piece so brilliantly showed, we are asking people still to support the appeal but do it virtually at home and after this really terrible, challenging year, well come together and take part in the remembrance and make the appeal is successful as possible. Give us some practical is, in practice, what will people do . Where should they go if they want to help donate money or buy poppies . Yes, we have a range of options for everyone across all the nations. We have poppies physically available in our supermarket partners, particularly sainsburys and morrisons, they are really, really helping us. We have still got a lot of poppies are still being distributed by our volunteers following the relevant precautions and measures relating to covid 19 but, most importantly, if people just go to the Royal British legion website or search for poppy appeal, they will find a range of ideas, physicalfundraising ideas they will find a range of ideas, physical fundraising ideas or downloadable poppies they can put in the window, we have a range of options this year and they are very easy to find and get hold of. Simon, thank you very much and we wish you luck with the fundraising and we should just say, barry and tricia, who we were going to speak to, to give you a sense, 77 and 75 years old, a married couple and they have been collecting, for their poppy appeal, for ten years so i am so sorry we didnt catch up with them but, ina sorry we didnt catch up with them but, in a way, they were the ones who were going to illustrate the lengths people will go to and why it matters. 75 boxes and they normally travel 35 miles around the villages to make sure the boxes are there. So barry and tricia, sorry we didnt get to talk to you but good luck and maybe we will get to speak to you in the future. Mike is here with the sport, you have had some drama on the page you have had some drama on the page you were excited about. Yes, sometimes in football, you have to ride your luck and liverpool admit they have been quite lucky this season and last night the question was how they would cope without their star defender virgil van dijk. But his injury hit side, showed plenty of dutch courage to win in amsterdam. And they got lucky for the only goal. Ajax defender Nicolas Tagliafico scoring it but into his own net. He was completely wrong footed by sadio manes pass and handed liverpool the victory. Manchester city, had a more convincing night, although they had to come back from a goal down to beat porto 3 1. This chap, Ferran Torres isnt a bad youngster to bring on. Wonderful run and finish and hes only 20, the young spaniard. Englands cricketers are heading for another bubble, after next months tour of south africa was given the green light. The limited overs side, led by eoin morgan, will play three t20 matches, and three one dayers, all behind closed doors. The trip had been in doubt, because the south african government regards the uk as high risk for coronavirus, but the players and staff have been granted exemptions to travel. Theyll set off on, november 16th and theyll be based in cape town. One of my favourite images of the day, this, it looks confusing, an electric car on a canal. It is nico rosberg, of course. The intense rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and nico rosberg will be renewed after rosberg announced hed be running his own team in the upcoming extreme e series for electric off road vehicles. Its set to start next february, visiting territories affected by climate change, such as greenland and the Amazon Region in brazil, to raise awareness of the issue. Hamilton has already stated his intention to lead a team. The pair were famous for their battles in their time together as Mercedes Team mates in formula one. The reason there is some water involved as the teams, all of the drivers and the teams, will travel around this new series in february bya around this new series in february by a big ship, they will be isolated together on a big cargo ship to reduce the carbon footprint, rather than flying around to these different places. That is a different way of going about business. Trying to adapt. Imagine what it is like on that ship, i would love to see pictures. Well, we can find out in february. Mike, thanks very much. Captain sir tom moore has been an army officer, a successful businessman, a chart topping singer and of course a champion nhs fundraiser during his 100 years on earth. Now he can add another occupation to that impressive cv artists muse. Hundreds of people have felt inspired to paint pictures of sir tom. Before theyre auctioned off for charity, hes been casting his eye over them with the help of our arts correspondent david sillito. Music i was absolutely overwhelmed. So many of them and such good quality. People have so put such great effort into producing them. Captain tom, his famous walk in his back garden during lockdown, didntjust raise tens of millions for nhs charities. It was, for many of us, a moment of inspiration. This is my painting of captain tom that i did during lockdown. The last time i painted a portrait was back in 2014, and that was of my grandpa, my grandpa sid. And he passed away last year, aged 100. And he wasjust the most kind, docile, loving man, and i didnt think i would paint again after he passed away. But seeing captain tom, he just reminded me so much of my grandpa, everything from the glint in his eye to his cheeky sense of humour. And itjust compelled me to pick up a paintbrush again. Justines painting isjust one of more than 100 artworks now going up for auction. There are paintings, cartoons and this, etched in a 100 year old door. What inspired you to do it . I think everybody was kind of taken back with the story. I think it had such genuine and sort of humble beginnings, and then just sort of, because of that, people responded to it and it became this kind ofjuggernaut that kept going. So, yeah, i think i was just get kind of taken away with that as well. Jamie is a professional artist. But some are at a slightly earlier stage in their artistic careers. Arrana is ten. I was inspired by what captain tom moore was doing for the nhs, so i thought it would be nice to make him a card from scratch for his 100th. And now its up for sale, ou realise oure a professional artist now . Uh. Like, ijust like cant believe it. I think this is the beginning of your artistic career, isnt it . Arranas work is now here on display at in london. Of course, one person hasnt had a chance to see the exhibition, captain tom. Would you like to have a little tour of the gallery . Would you like to have a tour of the gallery . Yes, please. And so i took him on a little virtual tour. Amazing. 0h, theyre all amazing, look . I love this one. This one is made of coffee, isnt it . That is coffee. I have to be really honest, i nearly kept it and put money in the foundation myself, but i had to let it go. Its amazing. The auction will help raise some little more money the auction will help raise a little more money for the captain tom foundation, but its also been a chance for a little group of artists to share their lockdown creativity. Hopefully, we can raise some money for it, but the fact that im from it, but the fact that im here sitting in a gallery, this is everything i could ever have wanted. David sillito, bbc news. It is so delightful saying his reaction to the photos, people just inspired to put something on paper. Lets talk to carol, a full forecast. We had a debate earlier this morning, i said it was very mild this morning in salford, charlie said it was really called who was right . You were, naga yes i think that response was unnecessary, we can all agree on that 0h, that oh, bless you, charlie anyway, good morning, everybody, what a lovely picture from lincolnshire sent in this morning, beautiful blue sky, and dont forget this weekend the clocks are going to go back. For a time at least, it will be lighter in the mornings. And what we have today isa the mornings. And what we have today is a drier day than yesterday, sunny spells but heavy rain across the north east of scotland. That will tend to pull away through the morning, a ridge of High Pressure that settles the weather down before the next area of low pressure and its weather fronts come in from the atlantic. An area of showers will continue to sink southwards, not amounting to too much. We have some showers across Northern England, one or two in Northern Ireland first thing will tend to fade, the rain pulling away from eastern scotland, leaving quite a bit of cloud. Western areas are favoured for more sunshine, with the wind easing down. Temperatures today lower than they were yesterday, so the top temperature was in edinburgh, 17. 3. Much lowerforyou today, but london could still see 17 degrees. Through this evening and overnight, some clear skies, showers, a line developing in the direction of the south east, and at the same time an arctic weather front introducing some rain. A colder night for the bulk of the uk compared to the last view. Tomorrow, here comes this clutch of weather fronts moving steadily eastwards, weakening all the time. But one look at the isobars tells you were looking at blustery conditions following on behind. So the dregs of overnight showers in the south east, some dry weather, then this front moving from west to east, bringing cloud and increasingly patchy rain. Behind it, we have some sunshine, but blustery showers as well. Some of those could be heavy, thundery, maybe even have some hail in them. Across the board, temperatures that bit lower. Friday into saturday, we say goodbye to the weather front, then an area of low pressure comes our way. Look at all those isobars, so on our way. Look at all those isobars, so on saturday it is going to be windy across the board. Inland, gusts of 50 mph. Through the irish sea, up to 60 mph. And then you add in days rain, moving eastwards, so this weather could prove to be disruptive, but at least it will be a little bit milder. Milder, i like that word, carol and we are embracing the rain. And, carol, because you asked for it, we are talking aboutjumping in puddles, you are talking about one of your favourite moments, puddles, you are talking about one of yourfavourite moments, you might enjoy this, have a look. Music plays carol, thank you for reminding us of that little moment, it is a cracker she is absolutely brilliant, look at the grin on herface why are we talking about this . It is the world puddle jumping championships, yes . Talking about this . It is the world puddlejumping championships, yes . I have got that bit right . It has been making a splash for the last eight yea rs, making a splash for the last eight years, and it is going ahead they say, even though lots of things didnt. Aaggghh he laughs ooh. youre mad what we need right now is a judge, racheljames, among the competition judges, hello, rachel, that you are, perfectly poised with a paddle in front of you lets get this out of the way straightaway, in order to prove that you are qualified to judge this competition, you need to step up to the plate and jump in that puddle are you going to do that puddle are you going to do that for us now .

If you have got wellies, it is a little bit easier i absolutely embrace this idea, especially with children, you see the joy they get, but often the pa rents the joy they get, but often the parents have equipped them properly, big boiler suits and wellies. I think they should be a special. I like that one i think they should bea like that one i think they should be a special category for children who are inappropriately closed. Maybe they are dressed normally and then their parents are saying, please dont, genuinely please dont, and then they do it anyway, i like that approach as well.

Rachel james there, such a good competition we should see more of those at some point. Were expecting the chancellor, rishi sunak, to announce extra support later for businesses hit by covid restrictions in england. Nina is at a wholesale market in manchester with more on this. You have been talking to Business Owners about just you have been talking to Business Owners aboutjust how they you have been talking to Business Owners about just how they are you have been talking to Business Owners aboutjust how they are being affected, because it is maybe not being seen immediately, because they may not be closing immediately, but all sorts of things change. That is right, and i beg to differ with you on this occasion, i think i have the most funjob on this occasion, i think i have the most fun job of the day, it has been fantastic going around the market in manchester. I want to grab olivia before she has to dash, lancashire spuds, lincolnshire cabbages, from all over the country, being sent out all over the country, being sent out all over. You were telling me that when the tier systems were introduced, every time they change, you notice a change. You definitely notice a change. At the start of it, when covid first came about, we were that busy, it was horrendous, they was buying that much stuff, and now all of a sudden it has gone down to not that busy, because we have lost restaurants in chinatown, all of them, they have had to close. So it isa them, they have had to close. So it is a bit of both really, sometimes it is busy, sometimes it is dead. Thank you, olivia. Entering tier 3 at midnight, things will change again, just quickly, whereabouts are your herbs coming in from here . These are from the west midlands, the ormskirk area, we deliver up and down the country, all over the place. So a lot of british produce, thank you. They were telling me earlier that they have not been in a position and have not necessarily needed to take advantage of the government support. Just a reminder of the system, the support available in tier3, it of the system, the support available in tier 3, it means that you can get two thirds of your staffs wages paid. You can also get a grant of up to £3000 per month. If you are in tier 2, however, you dont get that level of support. What you do get is an extension of the furlough scheme, an extension of the furlough scheme, a slightly different scheme for the winter where you have to pay 55 of your work wagers when they work a third of their hours. What do we expect to hear from the chancellor later . There is a hope that for tier 2, they will give a bit more to that top up scheme, because the sects of thatis top up scheme, because the sects of that is incumbent on the economy recovering, and that is incumbent on the r number diminishing, and that isnt happening at the moment. The biggest concern therefore for some of the traders like tony, good morning, is this virus going away. You assign your biggest concern is not Financial Support, but if somebody catches a cold and your staff is off. If somebody does catch a cold, they dont know whether they have got the corona or not, the covid 19, they are taking time off, then when covid 19, they are taking time off, then when i come back to work, nobody goes near them. It is a genuine concern about covid 19. Nobody goes near them. It is a genuine concern about covid19. What do you want to hear from the chancellor later . I want to hear from the chancellor that he will help families rather than business. At this time of day, coming to christmas, the most expensive time of day for family, may be something along the lines of a one off payment to help families at christmas. Many thanks. We are expecting to hear from the chancellor later this morning, great expectation, because as we keep talking about, the furlough scheme will come to an end next week, it will be massive for businesses. You are watching brea kfast, businesses. You are watching breakfast, it is 8 59am. This is bbc news with the latest headlines.
