We start in france where president Emmanuel Macron has denounced a knife attack that killed three people in a church in nice as islamist terrorism. Speaking from the scene he warned that france was under attack for its values. Have a listen. Translation once again our country has been struck by an islamist terrorist attack. Three of our fellow citizens we re attack. Three of our fellow citizens were killed at the notre dame facility here in clearly, the whole of france is attacked. The attack happened here at the notre dame basilica atjust after 9 in the morning. The details are grim. Police say one of the victims a woman was virtually beheaded and another man suffered deep wounds to the throat. Heres what happened next. Police stormed the basilica and shot the suspect. Were told he had also stabbed a third victim, a woman. She fled to a nearby bar, but died of her injuries. Chloe mathey and her partner live about 50 metres from the church. This was her account. We heard many people shouting and we knew that there were many, many policemen coming and we heard many shots and more and more policemen and we did not see the attack. Tom vannier is a journalism student who was filming at the scene shortly after the attack. This is what he told the bbc. The church, at the bank this morning, and in front of this church, it was a very big symbol that stands today. We saw a woman who knows the members of the church and she was crying and lots of people came here and cried because of the attack. In paris, parliament was sitting to discuss covid 19 measures as news came through of the attack. Proceedings were put on hold as politicians observed a minutes silence to honour the lives of those lost in the attack. Within hours Emmanuel Macron arrived at the scene raising the National Security alert to its highest level. Heres what else he said. Translation we decided to raise the degree of vigilance to adapt to the terrorist threat. I decided in the coming hours, our troops to be increasingly mobilised and we will go from 3000 to 7000 soldiers deployed across the country. That means we will be in a position to protect our places of worship, particularly churches so that all saints day can be celebrated in the right conditions. In 2016, the city was rocked by a terrorist attack when a truck ploughed through crowds of people celebrating bastille day and the notre dame basilica was a place where many would pray for the dozens that were killed there. Our correspondent Lucy Williamson is there. Well, here, notre dame is full of security. Teams are still working inside and passersby here when they passed the church, they stop, they stand for a minute and silence. The city already bruised by a major terrorist attack four years ago. World leaders have been condemning the attack in nice. The European Union president ursula von der leyen has said the whole of europe stands in solidarity with france and remains united and determined in the face of barbarism and fanaticism. British Prime Minister Borish Johnson tweeted this message in both english and french i am appalled to hear the news from nice this morning of a barbaric attack at the notre dame basilica. While pope francis tweeted i am close to the Catholic Community of nice, mourning the attack that sowed death in a place of prayer and consolation. There have been other incidents in france today. One of them happened in nearby avignon, in the district of monfavet. Police shot dead a man who allegedly threatened passers by and police in the street with a handgun. And in lyon a young afghan man allegeldy armed with a long 30 centimetre knife was arrested as he attempted to board a tram. Police say he was already known to them. The incidents come at a sensitive time. France is still reeling from the beheading of french teacher samuel paty earlier this month in a suburb of paris. Mr paty had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a class on freedom of expression. Muslims believe that any depiction of the prophet is blasphemous. In wake of the attack france vowed to crackdown on what it calls radical islam. French police launched a series of raids targeting islamist networks. They also shut down a major mosque and some muslim aid groups. And interior minister Gerald Darmanin vowed there would be not a minutes respite for enemies of the republic. Europe regional editor mike sandersjoins me now. What do we know about the suspect, what path will the investigation take previous attacks in nice. The document at the scene, he is a 21 year old tune ms. En. Checking the identity please believe he entered italy on september the 20th with some people smugglers and he was detained on the island for m days, held because the coronavirus restrictions. He was then transferred and he seems to have entered france in early october. Investigated both in france into an easier, theyre looking at this and trying to find out where he was between entering france and allegedly making this attack. That is the kind of mind of inquiry theyre looking at. What we expect theyre looking at. What we expect the pappas investigation to take . We know that if that name is correct, he was already under investigation in italy for illegally entering. That means she wouldnt have chance of political asylum. He is not claimed asylum and the worry is that actually coming in as a migrant, or did he come expressly to carry out an attack and that is the kind of line will be looking at. It will be the first time and because the lc tunisian, who entered italy in 2011 and he went on five years later to commit the attack on the Christmas Market in berlin in 2016 when he drove a lorry into a market and killed 12 people. Turkey has condemned the attack in a statement, its Foreign Ministry said there can be no reason to excuse the killing of a human being and justify violence. It comes as the french governments attempt to crack down on radical islam has angered turkey and other muslim countries. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a boycott of french goods. The situation worsened after a cartoon on mr erdogan appeared in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo this week. Heres Cagil Kasapoglu from the bbcs Turkish Service on the response from ankara. Will make the Foreign Ministers from quick to react because france and the policy over separatism, islamic separatism has been on top of the agenda in turkey because we see that he is representing himself as the defender of islamist values over the world and even yesterday, we heard him say that the western leaders, countries criticising mohammed and making caricatures or launching a crusade. So he sees himself as the main defender of islamist values. There have been protests against president macrons defence of the cartoon in several muslim majority countries. These pictures are from southwest pakistan. Large crowds gathered and set pictures of president macron alight. This is mali. Thousands gathered in the grand mosque in the capital bamako. And this is iran. A protest was held outside the French Embassy in tehran. Our middle east correspondent martin patience has tweeted and hes included a tweet referencing the lebanese president s response. Lets hearfrom martin now. What is interesting about the middle eastis what is interesting about the middle east is that in some ways, we are seeing a muted response. Yes, we have seen some french goods taken off this supermarket shelves and yes, we have seen some small scale protests a nd yes, we have seen some small scale protests and we saw the incident earlier today in saudi arabia when a french guard outside of the consulate in the coastal city was attacked, his injuries are not believed to be life threatening and it still isnt clear what the motivation for that attack is. But there is anger in the middle east because they feel that the president has not respected islam by defending the french cartoon, defending the right to publish pictures of the Prophet Muhammad and many muslims, including moderate muslims find that insulting and his position as untenable. Next lets hear from Nabila Ramdani a french Islamic Affairs journalist in london. Mocking islam into domestic policies, we have seen images portraying the Prophet Muhammad is a pathetic figure who is there to be marked along with all the followers of islam. In the establishment. But macron has changed all that, he would not renounce the caricature and were defended as part of french culture and is part of france global image and by doing so, macron had effectively made the caricature mainstream and indeed, normalised and some and this is what president macron said today. Translation mac. If we have been attacked again, its because of our values and taste for freedom. To believe freely and not to give in any terror. Let me say this very clearly again, we never give in. Jeremy bowen is our middle east editor. Why is france being targeted like this . Well, the main nexus of this seems to be president erdogan of turkey versus president macron of france. It is not the first time words have been exchanged. I think you can say that president erdogan, for us to target a european leader, on these kinds of issues, islamist issues, his support, his own desire i think to present himself as a leader of muslims. Then, he might choose president macron because that there have been disputes about other things, france support for armenia in the current battles because the turks have been very much supporting the other side as well as that, the dispute over mineral rights in the eastern mediterranean, decrease,. Something much more fundamental going on and that she had been hearing, people, muslims are very insulted by cartoons that defame their profit. But, at the same time, for the french and for the french state, the principle of secularism, the principal of the separation of religion and state and particularly as well, the principle that if they wa nt to as well, the principle that if they want to mark religion, any religion, they are allowed to do it. That is something that is just as fundamentalfor them. Something that is just as fundamental for them. So, it something that is just as fundamentalforthem. So, it is something that is just as fundamentalfor them. So, it is hard to see where they come together until maybe the dies down a bit. Looking at the war where is going on, to seem like much indication of the moment of this calming down. No. There is not. I think it is a little ways to run and heaven forbid there will be more attacks but i think that the french have gone through a lot of this kind of thing in the past few years and it is something that clearly Emmanuel Macron is sick of and the french are as well and in turkey there is speculation that parts of his own agenda is to try to present himself as the perhaps, more right of centre supporter of french nationalism while at the same time, erdogan is seeing himself for being seen as someone who is playing his own brand of games. But at the end of it, there are strong currents going on in the world which result in these kinds of things happening. A tiny minority of people carrying them out, but an enormous, apart from spreading human misery, they have enormous political residences as well. Big news in the uk the man who was labour leader until april this year, Jeremy Corbyn, has been suspended from his own party. Its after a report found that labour was responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination againstjewish members while he was in charge. Mr corbyn said he did everything he could to tackle the issue, but added today that the scale of the problem had been overstated by opponents. That didnt go down well. Our deputy Political Editor vicki young has more. A year ago he was trying to be Prime Minister. Today, Jeremy Corbyn is suspended from the party he joined more than 50 years ago. Shame on you this time in charge was turbulent and divisive. Jewish mps said it was his fault they were bullied out of the party. Today, the organisation set up to legally protect equality concluded there had been serious failings in the way labour dealt with anti semitism. In response, mr corbyn seems to suggest the problem had been exaggerated, prompting the dramatic step by his successor. I made it clear we will not tolerate anti semitism or the denial of anti semitism through the suggestion that it is exaggerated or factional and that is why i was disappointed withJeremy Corbyns response and that is why appropriate action has been taken, which i fully support. When mr corbyn was leader he repeatedly said that anti jewish hate would not be tolerated. But last year bbc panorama interviewed several former staffers who said the problem was being ignored. I do not think the labour party is a safe space forjewish people any more. Labour is not an anti racist party. The report finds the party was responsible for three breaches of the equality act, including harassment and failure to provide training to handle complaints. And most significantly, blame was put at mr corbyns office door, his staff had interfered in decisions about whether to investigate claims. I find this report hard to read. And it is a day of shame for the labour party. That was sir Keir Starmers response but mr corbyn struck a different tone, suggesting he improved things and made it easier to cut out anti semites but he added that the scale of the problem was dramatically overstated for political reasons by opponents and the media. And it is that statement that has punted his suspension. Very shocked and very disappointed. I have been in the labour party all my life. I want to make it absolutely clear. Anti semitism has no place whatsoever in our party or our movement. I have opposed it and racism in all its forms all my life and that is what i have made clear during my leadership of the party and i will make clear today as a member of parliament and proud to be won. To be one. For this jewish former mp who resigned from the party, mr corbyns words are not enough. I can point to a catalogue of things he himself said and platforms he shared that were anti semitic and he has shown no contrition in the response he has issued today, denying many victims experience, jewish party members, who have suffered great pain and distress over the last couple of years. When he took over as leader, sir keir starmer promised to bring together the warring factions of the labour party. Todays move is unlikely to do that. There are now only five days left until the us election. Todays focus is florida where both candidates have been out on the campaign trail. Donald trump won the state in 2016 by over 110 thousand votes. This is crucial ground. Heres a bit of what both candidates have been saying. This is historic prosperity. Another major tax cut to go along the biggest tax cut in the history of oui biggest tax cut in the history of our country. In record job growth and joe bidens plan is to deliver a punishing locked on. Hes gonna lock you down. Donald trump is given up oii you down. Donald trump is given up on the weekend, his white house chief of staff said, and i quote, we are not going to control this pandemic. The debate last week, donald trump, he said we are rounding the corner, it is going away. We are learning how to live with it. No, he expects us to learn how to die with that. That is what i told him. He is doing nothing. We are learning how to die with that in donald trump is wave the white flag, abandoned our families and surrendered to the virus. Donald trump is still behind in national polls. This is the bbc poll tracker, showing joe biden is leading nationally by 9 . However in florida, its a much tighter race with mr biden leading by a narrow margin. Florida matters because it has 29 Electoral College votes the third highest, behind california and texas. Remember, whoever become president needs 270 votes in the Electoral College to get the seat in the white house. Is 7. 3 million have voted so far it that figure was just over 9. 1 million. This time next week, we should know this time next week we should know who won florida, but exactly 20 years ago it was a very different scenario. 2000 was the year that it took more than a month to confirm George W Bush as the winner after his race against al gore. Its a story re told in the fiasco podcast by its host leon neyfakh he joins us live now. What is it about florida that makes it such a battleground in every election . Sure. Florida is a special state, eve ryo ne sure. Florida is a special state, everyone knows where it is what it looks like it everyone knows disney world. But politically, what matters is it is a really diverse population and politics tend to manifest themselves down there. Donald trump needs to turn out noncollege educated white voters and joe biden needs to flip suburban voters and thats how it is run the country. Of florida also some demographic groups that are pretty unique. Like, a large cuban American Population in miami that means republican. In florida is really important because it is 29 votes in the Electoral College, so even though through the camp taking a complicated campaign there, it is still worth the effort. Could we see another 2000 when legal and political battle went on for 36 days as you document in your podcast . U nfortu nately, unfortunately, i think we should be prepared for. Both campaigns are absolutely gearing up for a prolonged legal fight over which ballots will be counted and which would be thrown out. These issues pppin9 would be thrown out. These issues ppping up would be thrown out. These issues popping up of the country now, Supreme Court cases by pennsylvania and wisconsin and elsewhere, covid 19 means that there will be a lot more mail in ballots coming in and we know that donald trump is ellis have been trying systematically to convince the supporters of these pellets are legitimate. I do not know for would be in florida multiple states, but we should be prepared for a big long mess. Do you think you could go on that long . Will be solved with the fiasco, it could happen in a larger scale and notjust one state too, but i dont know. One county in one state and thousand of the hold of the election for over a month. One thing i will learn about this podcast, theres notjust one big collection, the 51 elections, and each of those states has so many counties that have their own rules and he can get really complicated at the two campaigns go to war in courtrooms and which votes can be counted, which ones can be thrown out and it can just get really, really complicated, really fast. Out and it can just get really, really complicated, really fastm seen an enormous amount of early voting and what about the way that it is counted. It is different state by state, how will this emerge. Them in counting votes as they come in. They have a long history of large scale mail in voting better love states, executive order to start counting mail in ballots weeks before election day and so, this is a statement thats already been prepared to handle a huge influx of votes in those states, and more prepared, but that means is the results from the mail in ballot could be nice to soon as polls close on election day. I believe the vibe in millions of votes cast in florida which could give a pretty decent indication as to where the state is leading. You called this 50 elections rather than just one. Hs, the law, it is such that you have standards of how ballots are filled up which is state tend to make different in each area. Different in each area. Some are involved in litigation and so, the downside of a federalist system or power is concentrated at the lower levels, turns out that, yeah, its absurd to be really complicated. Hello there. Strong winds whipping up the seas across the coast this afternoon, and there has been some pretty persistent rain. You can see cloudy skies and a fairly dismal afternoon for many across the far north west. This was cumbria earlier on and, if we take a look at the rain radar, you can see that rain continues to drift its way north and east across the whole of scotland. There was a clearance behind across central and southern parts of england and wales. Still windy with it, though, still plenty of isobars behind that weather front. Thats driving in much milder air. So as we go through the night, those temperatures wont fall away very far at all for this time of year. It does mean that rain still yet to clear away. It will do so through the next few hours, leaving a trail of showers in the north west for a time, and some more persistent rain lingering across wales and south west england. But look at these temperatures. Overnight minimums of just around 8 11; celsius. For many, were looking at low to mid teens first thing on friday morning. That cloud and rain across wales will sink its way steadily south and linger across the south coast for much of the day. Brightening up though to the north of that, and that will allow for some sunny spells, top temperatures through the afternoon of 9 17 celsius as a high. As we move out of friday, we really do change gear yet again, as we see these weather fronts pushing their way in from the atlantic. And we could on saturday see quite a significant area of low pressure, which will bring some Stormy Weather for a time. A spell of very heavy rain the brighter colours denoting this as it tends to push its way steadily eastwards, and then a trail of sharper showers wrapping around that low, where the strongest of the winds are likely to sit. Widespread gales, severe gales for some, with gusts in excess or close to 60 70 mph. It does look as though those temperatures will still register on the mild side on your thermometer. We are looking at highs of 11 17 celsius thats 63 fahrenheit. More wet weather to come as we move into sunday. A level of uncertainty as to just where this weather front is sitting and how far north that area of low pressure will be. So keep watching the forecast for finer details on sunday. But generally through the weekend, it looks like the gales will cause an issue, coupled with some heavy rain. Hello, im karin gianonne, this is outside source. France raises its terror alert level after another horrific attack this time, three people are stabbed to death in nice. Translation once again, our country has been struck by an islamist terrorist attack. This is the Moment Police stormed a church and shot the suspect reportedly a 21 year old tunisian who arrived in europe a few weeks ago. Several European Countries are heading back into lockdown before winter hits. And theres pressure on england where Scientists Say almost 100,000 people are catching coronavirus every day. Well be live in wisconsin, which donald trump won by the thinnest of margins in 2016. But can he hold on to americas dairy land this time around . Five days until the us election. Were going to focus for a moment on the state of wisconsin, which donald trump won in a surprise victory in 2016. He was the first republican candidate to win the seat since 1984 taking with him ten Electoral College votes. That crucially took him over the 270 seats he needed to secure his place in the white house. But it was a very narrow victory. Donald trump won with a7. 2 of the vote, compared to hillary clinton, who took 46. 5 a difference ofjust over 20,000 votes, out of nearly three million ballots cast. Yalda hakim is in kenosha in wisconsin for us. And yalda, a city that hit International Headlines earlier this year . Indeed, very much so. As you say, we arejust indeed, very much so. As you say, we are just five days away from the election. And already, 75 million americans have voted across the country either by mail in or early voting. Thats an unprecedented number. As you say, the city of kenosha was really thrust onto the International Stage when the African American man jacob blake International Stage when the African American manjacob blake was shot by police seven times. This city became the scene of race riots, and donald trump arrived here, describing himself as the law and order president. Cities like kenosha in the state of wisconsin have now become crucial in this election. Ive got with me andy berg, the Kenosha County supervisor for district ten. Lets speak to him about whats going on here in kenosha. Thanks so much forjoining us. As we said, weve had a race riots here, the situation was really quite bad. How are things now . Things have calmed down quite a bit, but there is still a lot of behind the scenes, groups that are still working to bring stuff to the community, whether it be food, services, diapers there is still work behind the scenes, people arent quiet, but in terms of being out on the streets and marching, that subsided quite a bit. This cou nty that subsided quite a bit. This county was won by donald trump in 2016 by just 255 votes. County was won by donald trump in 2016 byjust 255 votes. Do you think you will be at this type this time around . No, i dont. And asi you will be at this type this time around . No, i dont. And as i said earlier, the last time this county we nt earlier, the last time this county went red was when Richard Nixon was elected. With the turmoil weve had in the last 3 4 years, and the fact that weve already surpassed voter turnout as of yesterday in kenosha to what it was in 2016 people are getting out to vote this year. Donald trump presented himself as the law and order president ial candidate. Is that something people here bought into . I dont think people bought into of the law in order president. Maybe those that we re order president. Maybe those that were already following him and were already going to support him, but i just dont think theres a lot of people that, based on the situation that happened in with him coming out here, and the division that happened, and not greeting those in our community that were hurt i think those that may have voted for him last time that were moderate wont vote for him this time. Wisconsin was one of the worst affected states in terms of coronavirus, and it is the minority groups who are some of the badly impacted. Just tell us briefly about the view from kenosha. In terms of covid 19,theres not a large discussion. Life still has to happen so discussion. Life still has to happen so when we can make things happen in terms of food and Getting Services to those in our communities, we still do it. Itjust happens to be that we wear masks and theres lots more hand sanitiser around, and wipes. Andy berg, thanks so much, great talking to you. The most important thing for a candidate during this time so close to the election, donald trump will begin visiting wisconsin on friday thatll be his third visit in a week. His fourth visit this month. Joe biden will also be arriving here on friday, so really we are in the final stages of this campaign. And we will learn more and be covering it here on bbc world news. Thank you so much. Lets bring you up to date with all the latest coronavirus developments in europe, where several countries are heading back into lockdown before winter hits. Well have updates on france, spain, sweden, and the uk. But first germany, where chancellor Angela Merkel has been defending her decision for a Second National lockdown. But not everyone supports that. Take a look at parliament earlier. Overlapping shouting bell rings that was chancellor Angela Merkel being heckled by the far right opposition. Germanys Second National lockdown will begin on monday. So bars, restaurants, theatres, swimming pools, and Fitness Studios will close until the end of november. And public gatherings will be limited. Lets hearfrom two berlin based bar owners on what that means for them. Translation first of all, closing down with no outlook. Whens the next wave to be expected, whens the next time we will have to close . A company can do this once a year, but not 3 4 times. Translation in the last few months, we have tried to develop a sustainable existence with hygiene strategies for guests and workers in order to maintain a life with the coronavirus pandemic. Its a shock that this is now being put on hold. Next france. Last night, Emmanuel Macron before the tragic events of today in nice announced a new National Lockdown, warning that a second wave of the virus is likely to be more deadly than the first. And today, weve been hearing more details about what the restrictions mean. Heres the Prime Minister earlier. Translation you will only be able to leave home on certain conditions, and together with a certificate. Just as during the lockdown, you will be able to go out to do yourfood shopping or go to your place of work, or to return from it, or to do yourjob if youre not able to work remotely for Health Reasons to go to hospital, to meet health professionals, to go to a chemist. Spain has extended its state of emergency another six months. Its parliament voted to extend the powers it gives Regional Government to contain the spread of the virus. Catalonia has already enforced a night curfew and sealed itself off from the rest of the country for two weeks with restrictions on movement in or out of the region. To poland now, where new virus cases has tripled in less than a month. The country is now under the highest level of restrictions. Authorities have warned that daily covid 19 cases could rise to 20,000 this week. Next, sweden, where tougher covid restrictions have been announced. People living in stockholm and two other regions have been advised against going to gyms and shopping centres, as well as socialising with people other than those they live with, until 19 november. Sweden has stood out for not imposing a National Lockdown like other European Countries, and has so far avoided a spike in deaths in the second wave, but there has been a recent increase in cases. Gavin lee is in brussels. Bring us up to date with things there in brussels why has belgium had it so bad . Does that mean the strategy hasnt been working . Its been interesting, and the swedish government does say that. They say this is something they are continuing to test in terms of actually looking up what worked, whether it was the swedish slightly at the outlier compared to the rest of europe, we wont know for months. They say we will know it maybe a year or twos time with how the cases even out. Most believe it is too early to work out comparisons, but it is worth saying that even these latest restrictions show sweden is doing something slightly different. So you have a situation where all those months ago, sweden didnt force businesses to close, they advised people on what to do. And this is a similar thing. So a week ago, the two regions with half a Million People were told do not go shopping, to cinemas or gyms. This time its the same but to include stockholm and gothenburg, so its about 3. 5 Million People. Now we are told that the swedish equivalent in terminology here is a strong recommendation. So its not a regulation, people cant be fined if they do decide to go to a gym, but theyve also said not to hang around with another family of more than ten people into households. And if youre ina people into households. And if youre in a group and it has to be for a bigger activity, maximum 50 people. Ive spoken to several epidemiologists over the past couple weeks from different countries, and they all say that the advice you give depends on the behaviour of the people. I think this swedish government believes that people generally act responsibly. Meanwhile eu leaders have been meeting remotely. What lessons do they think they can learn from the first time they can learn from the first time they were nationally under lockdown . If you go back a few months to march, there was some infighting particularly with france and germany of hogging facemasks and medical equipment. But now theres this second wave which Emmanuel Macron believes could be Even Deadlier than the first, they want to make sure their systems in place. Track and trace, something coordinated where people goad not just trace, something coordinated where people goad notjust countrywide but europe wide. And secondly, quarantine and isolation. Pedro sanchez wants the idea that wherever you go, you have a test either at an airport you go to, and every country has the same system in place. It is still going on online, this meeting. Gavin, thank you very much. Lets turn to the United Kingdom now, where there are deep divisions over the best way forward to combat the spread of the virus. Infections in england are doubling approximately every nine days. A national firebrea k lockdown is ongoing in wales, while Northern Ireland has tightened restrictions, including closing schools. Our science correspondent Rebecca Morelle has been looking at how effective lockdowns are. This was the picture back in march. Covid cases were increasing incredibly rapidly, then the National Lockdown was introduced and the numbers are slowly came down. The lockdown worked but at a big cost to the economy and other parts of the health service. Now, there is a regional approach, which is making a difference in some areas. Derry city and strabane in Northern Ireland had some of the highest numbers in the uk. But after tough local measures were introduced, the infection rate has fallen. In the south of england, cases are not yet as high but they are surging. Is it time for restrictions in the south to match those in other parts of the country . If cases continue to rise, eventually those places may well end up moving through the tiers, becoming clear to and tier 3, and you end up getting forced to make that decision as health becomes under strain so there can be advantages in arrears where perhaps things are lower to acting earlier give more options for control. Last week, wales began a 17 day firebrick lockdown, in scotland they are bringing in a five tier framework. In manchester, pubs and bars are closed unless they are serving meals. And in the south west, on the lowest of the three alert levels in england, restrictions are a lot less. It is complex and constantly changing, especially compared with the simple nationwide stay at home message from march. And this has knock on effects for people sticking to the rules. Several things are really important to enable people to adhere to what are often challenging restrictions. These are clarity, perceived fairness, and for things to be understood. The rationale to be understood by people. And if those three things are not in place, adherence is more challenging. Choosing any form of lockdown is not easy. It is a delicate balance involving the economy and other health and social costs. But with the pandemic raging, it is a virus that could sooner or later force the governments hand. Lets turn to south asia. India has recorded more than eight million coronavirus cases, and there are fears of a further spike due to a series of upcoming hindu festivals including diwali. But, as our correspondent Yogita Limaye explains, its not all bad news. The number of new daily cases and deaths that were seeing is dramatically lower than what we had, say, about a month ago. So for example, for many weeks in september, the number of indians dying from covid 19 every single day was more than 1,000. That number has now come down to around 500. The other Silver Lining from india has been that the number of deaths taking place here relative to the size of the countrys population is a lot lower than what weve seen in other countries badly hit. And researchers are still investigating what the reasons for that could be. However, doctors and epidemiologists do say that even though india seems past its peak, they are warning that with the onset of winter and temperatures dropping particularly in northern india, it being pollution season and lots of the country, as well these are factors that could aggravate covid 19. And to add to that, we are also in Festive Season here in india. We had the big hindu festival on sunday, we have diwali in the next few weeks. This is the time where people would go out, go to markets and shop, meet theirfamilies. Stay with us on outside source. Still to come donald trump has been doing his best to woo suburban women voters, whose support could prove crucial. Well hearfrom women in the key state of wisconsin. Bobby ball, one half of the comedy double act cannon and ball, has died at the age of 76. His death comes after the actor and comedian tested positive for covid 19. His long time friend and colleague, tommy cannon said he was devastated. Our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has been looking back at his life. Sorry, im sorry. Rock on. After meeting as welders, cannon and ball began their career playing pubs and clubs. For gods sake rock on rock off spotted by a tv producer, they ended up with their own series and appearances on countless other shows. Rock on, then. Youve done it again bobby ball was the one who fizzed with energy. You could have made me pregnant then bouncing wildly off tommy cannons straight man. Physical comedy. Music. They were masters of them all, and at their height were two of the countrys most famous entertainers. Today, tommy cannon said. Their style of comedy did eventually fall out of fashion. Balls talent didnt go to waste, though, with appearances in comedies like last of the summer wine. And hit sitcom not going out. I see whats going on. Youre trying to fit us up with all your old unsolved crimes. Like the time the off licence in bolton road was broken into in 1974 and all they took was a bottle of Harveys Bristol cream and 20 silk cut. Apparently. Todays stars still recognising and wanting to share todays stars with audiences the comedy gifts of bobby ball. This is outside source, live from the bbc newsroom. Our lead story. The french president Emmanuel Macron has denounced a knife attack that killed three people in a church in nice as islamist terrorism. The suspect is reportedly a 21 year old from tunisia. Lets get more on the us election. Donald trump has been doing his best to woo women specifically suburban women voters whose support could prove to be crucial come election day. His appeals have ranged from openly begging for their support, to promising to get their husbands back to work. Sophie long reports from wisconsin. And somebody said, i dont know if the suburban woman likes you. I say, why . Why . Why, echoed womens voices across the key Battle Ground state of wisconsin. Heres why. Because hes pretty much done everything he can to destroy our rights. He has no clue about what its like to shop, to pay medical bills, to do anything, to work. Hes disrespectful towards women, disrespectful towards underrepresented minorities. And i hope he has a lot of problems this election. I dont think he has any clue what goes on in the real world. I think hes a jack ass and, the sooner hes out of office, the better well all be. Donald trump has his very own style it was one that many educated women in the suburbs embraced. Some feel they got what they paid for, but others had a creeping sense of buyers remorse. And, in an Election Year thats been plagued by protests in a pandemic, that has only increased in intensity. They cant get a refund, of course, but now is their chance to exchange. And in a swing state like wisconsin, that is a worrying prospect for the president. But chaos and violence erupted on the streets of wisconsin this summer. The small city of kenosha still bears the scars. And women like kimberly warner, whose shop was targeted, believes mr trumps Decisive Action has earned him four more years. The governor said, yes, were going to let the president bring in federal troops. It was seconds, and everything had switched. So we felt safe again, you know . And when the president came, that was his message he wanted us to feel safe, he wanted us to know that we were not alone, and he wasnt going to allow this to happen to our small town. Donald trump still has great support here. But some whove previously voted republican say they cant bring themselves to do that now and theyre trying to persuade others to vote democrat just this once. You dont ever have to vote for a democrat again. You can vote forjoe biden as a protest vote against donald trump, and then go back and vote republican again, if thats what you want to do. But this is too important. Go, biden, harris, yay women campaigning against the president believe his support here is falling like the autumn leaves. He won wisconsin by a single percentage point. Every vote will count. Sophie long, bbc news, wisconsin. Turning to vietnam 19 people have been killed in huge landslides after one of the most violent storms in decades. Typhoon molave slammed into the coast near da nang city on wednesday with winds of up to 150 kph. This is Quang Nam Province in Central Vietnam. Were told that in one village 33 people have been pulled from the mud alive. At least a0 people are still missing. This is ha tinh province. Rescue efforts are being hampered by bad weather. Vietnam has been hit by successive storms this month killing scores of people. Nguyen hai yan is vietnams red cross secetary general in hanoi, and had this update. The tragic loss of life for the misery and hardship to 100,000 people in Central Vietnam after the typhoon yesterday. Three landslides have resulted in at least 22 peoples deaths and 73 missing by the molave typhoon. Flooding in new areas, including some areas in Central Vietnam and laos. Along with the flooding, 89,000 homes have had their roofs blown off. Over 700 communities are without electricity, and more damage to crops and infrastructure. But there is some good news in Late Afternoon today, 29 october, we have rescued 33 people from the mud of the landslide. So we are very much looking forward to rescuing more people. The challenge for us is now the hardship to get to the remote area and the isolated areas, because of the mounting evidence that Climate Change is playing a part in this disaster. And during the last month, october this year, the claimant disasters, the relentless storms and torrential rains have been very difficult to handle. Climate disasters. Even for the most prepared and resilient communities. An entire us city has dimmed its street lights for ten days its an experiment to assess the impact artificial light is having on the environment. Heres our science correspondent victoria gill. When the Natural Light fades, our towns and cities begin to glow in the dark. But all this artificial light being shone into space, as these views from the International Space station reveal, competes with the light from the stars. As well as obscuring our view of a naturally dark sky, and of the stars as well, with that all too familiar orange glow, artificial light at night can disrupt our sleep and that affects our health. It also affects wildlife because it disrupts the Natural Light dark cycle that insects, birds and other animals are tuned into. To find out the problem an International Team of scientists asked an entire us city to turn down its streetlights. To find the source of the problem. For ten days, tucson in arizona dimmed its 111,000 streetlights, while researchers used a satellite to measure the effect. These pixelated views from space reveal that the vast majority of city light that was wasted by being beamed upward, wasnt from streetlights, but from other sources. That included billboards, signs, floodlights and shopfronts. We really need to start thinking about, ok, how many signs are we going to have in the city . How big can they be and how bright can they be . Were in the midst of a Climate Crisis and a biodiversity crisis, and light plays a role in both of those issues. So late at night time, if we can find ways to use less electricity for light, it will help us with the Climate Crisis, and also it will help us with our energy transition, if we can instead use that electricity, for example, for charging batteries, doing energy storage. As so many of us think about the ways to reduce our energy use and our carbon footprints, these Scientists Say that part of the problem could be solved while we sleep, just by turning off the lights. Victoria gill, bbc news. Dont forget, you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter. Im karinbbc. Thanks very much for watching outside source. Hello there. Strong winds whipping up the seas across the coast this afternoon, and there has been some pretty persistent rain. You can see cloudy skies and a fairly dismal afternoon for many across the far north west. This was cumbria earlier on and, if we take a look at the rain radar, you can see that rain continues to drift its way north and east across the whole of scotland. There was a clearance behind across central and southern parts of england and wales. Still windy with it, though, still plenty of isobars behind that weather front. Thats driving in much milder air. So as we go through the night, those temperatures wont fall away very far at all for this time of year. It does mean that rain still yet to clear away. It will do so through the next few hours, leaving a trail of showers in the north west for a time, and some more persistent rain lingering across wales and south west england. But look at these temperatures. Overnight minimums of just around 8 111 celsius. For many, were looking at low to mid teens first thing on friday morning. That cloud and rain across wales will sink its way steadily south and linger across the south coast for much of the day. Brightening up though to the north of that, and that will allow for some sunny spells, top temperatures through the afternoon of 9 17 celsius as a high. As we move out of friday, we really do change gear yet again, as we see these weather fronts pushing their way in from the atlantic. And we could on saturday see quite a significant area of low pressure, which will bring some Stormy Weather for a time. A spell of very heavy rain the brighter colours denoting this as it tends to push its way steadily eastwards, and then a trail of sharper showers wrapping around that low, where the strongest of the winds are likely to sit. Widespread gales, severe gales for some, with gusts in excess or close to 60 70 mph. It does look as though those temperatures will still register on the mild side on your thermometer. We are looking at highs of 11 17 celsius thats 63 fahrenheit. More wet weather to come as we move into sunday. A level of uncertainty as to just where this weather front is sitting and how far north that area of low pressure will be. So keep watching the forecast for finer details on sunday. But generally through the weekend, it looks like the gales will cause an issue, coupled with some heavy rain. This is bbc news. Im lukwesa burak. The headlines at eight.
