the national trust estimates that a third of all its properties have some links with britain's colonial past and slavery. and there's a strong views on both sides aboutjust what to do with this history. curators at the international slavery museum agree that addressing this history is vital. i think, for black people, it's a very strong injustice, when you are visiting a mansion, or a castle, based on the money of the slavery trade and there is no mention of your ancestor. it's brutal. forjean—francois, removing old objects isn't the solution. he wants stereotypes challenged, placing contemporary art next to colonial artefacts. the way we look at our history is changing quickly. but coming to terms with our past may take longer. celestina olulode, bbc news. let's return now to the main story, the stricter lockdown measures to try to limit the spread of coronavirus. plans include pubs and restaurants closing early, limits on indoor sports, and employees told to work from home if they can. but do people support the plans? and do they go far enough? our home editor mark easton has been to southend in essex to find out. the last hours of summer, before the weather turns and winter tightens its grip. southend's virus infections are below average, but the impact from today's restrictions will be above average in this hospitality town. at the falcon, landladyjo was not the only trader i met today telling me they've lost faith in politicians. the reaction is going to be worse than if you allowed the virus to just take its course. really? yeah. i do, i think there's going to be people depressed, possible suicides. i think the government having to bail out of the country. i mean, how can you expect people to keep shutting businesses? it don't matter to the mp5, they're still getting paid. on the seafront, though, i encountered more forgiveness for the prime minister's approach. ijust think he's got a very difficultjob. because he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. so, you know, we all thought it was going to be a lot shorter than this. and now it's spiked again, so we've got to do something. a snap survey by pollsters yougov, conducted after the prime minister's announcement, asked almost 3,500 people above the new restrictions, including closing pubs at 10pm. 78% said they supported the measures, while just i7% opposed them. to be honest with you, i think, really, the best thing to do would be to shut down and lockdown again for two weeks. yeah. i think people's health is probably more important. so whatever they need to do, they should just get on and do it, really. i think it will make it worse, but it is going to become worse if we don't have a lockdown, spreading the virus. tonight's snap survey from across britain finds that 13% think the restrictions go too far. 32%, that they are about right. but 45% think they don't go far enough. too little, too late, i would say. you want more? well, i think it should have been a full lockdown in the first place. a complete lockdown. and then maybe now we wouldn't be coming back up again. i get a sense of people just watching the tide go out, anxious what the next six months will bring. fear, resignation, anger. what aggravates a lot of people, if you've got family and grandchildren, my daughter comes down from cheshire, by my daughter comes from kent. there's a seven. so you can't see them. but, equally, they say they're trying to protect people like you from the virus. yeah, but we can all meet in the pub. we're not going to lockdown, the prime minister insists. but there is a feeling that britain is battening down the hatches, steeling itself for what people fear will be a long and difficult winter. mark easton, bbc news, southend. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello to viewers in the uk and around the world. it's now time to ta ke around the world. it's now time to take a look at the national and international front pages and the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are the former pensions minister, ros altman and the writer and broadcaster, mihir bose. tomorrow's front pages, let's look at those. let's start with the telegraph. it carries a warning from the uk prime minister that there are tough times ahead, as he introduces new restrictions to fight the virus. borisjohnson has refused to rule out a second lockdown if people don't follow the new rules. that's in the guardian. according to the i, scientists say the uk's new restrictions will not be enough to stop the resurgent virus. the international version of the financial times leads on a warning from jay powell, the chairs of the federal reserve over the economy, as coronavirus deaths in the us pass 200,000. the new york times leads on the public outrage sparked by the police killing of a teenager in south africa. and, the mirror reports that business leaders in the uk fear hugejob losses, as the prime minister says the new covid curbs could last six months. let's get started, good to see you both. no surprise what story is dominating all the front pages in the uk newspapers. let's start with the front page of the times. ros, you kick us off. i struggle humanity will win, says boris johnson. kick us off. i struggle humanity will win, says boris johnson. this is clearly a defining moment, and the prime minister is trying to echo perhaps winston churchill and rally the country. he's broadening it out beyond britain to all of humanity. i personally wonder that's a little bit over the top, but effectively, he is explaining to the country why these new draconian, restrictive measures are necessary. he's suggesting this a threat to humanity and without the kind of restrictions that he wants us all to follow, that we can't possibly get back to any kind of normal life. now, let's see what the public make of it as we go through, but i think a lot of people area through, but i think a lot of people are a little bit uncomfortable at the moment with the idea that we've just come out of lockdown and that now, we're going back into another lockdown. so, it is a really difficult message, i think, for the prime minister to get across. of course. mihir, what do you think of boris johnson's message? course. mihir, what do you think of boris johnson's message? well, boris boris johnson's message? well, boris johnson has been trying to play down the middle, all the johnson has been trying to play down the middle, allthe noises johnson has been trying to play down the middle, all the noises that were coming through the weekend. we might have a two week circuit breaker which would have been really, the lockdown in a new form. as ros said, he's trying to connect with humanity but also, in the spirit of winston churchill, in his speech, what is interesting is that part of the speech is open to criticism. he says we depend on our own individual behaviour. people already on twitter have been reminding us of that in a way, the measures he hopes will work, certainly the scientists will have been putting him under pressure to be more severe. some ministers we re to be more severe. some ministers were putting him under pressure to be more severe. ijust want to interrupt, that's exactly what's on the front page of the times. on the right—hand side, there's an article saying house visits might need to be banned, says top medic. that's exactly what you are saying. ros, that's what happens in scotland. that is what happened. i must admit that i am deeply uncomfortable with this idea of interfering micro—meddling in family life. this idea of interfering micro—meddling infamily life. i know this is a very serious illness and we have to be careful, but there are many people whose family is there life, and who have already struggled through months of not being able to see family. and the idea that somehow, the government will come along once again and clamp down on the ability to see your children, your grandchildren, your loved ones in this way, especially in the run—up to christmas, i think is something that a lot of people very frightened of and i hope that this won't go on for too much longer and that we will recognise that we are much better at treating this illness and that hopefully, with testing up and running, we can get away from these extraordinary draconian measures of. doesn't look like we will get away from them anytime soon. the mirror's headline focuses on the pub early closing time. he gambled on closing pubs early to slow the virus. of course. interesting headline. it's very interesting, the restriction that pubs have to close by ten p:m., not the last orders by ten p:m.. when i was a student, pubs would close by 10:30 p:m.. you would arrange several pints at the bar and drink that at about 11:30 p:m., which i did occasionally, not always. the point is that how long ago! it was quite some time ago. by closing at ten, it will really affect the pubs, because that mean the last orders will have to be at 9:15pm or so, and that will have a big impact. it's very interesting, the hospitality sector was badly affected by the lockdown, will again be affected. what it is doing is changing the... last week, i was in albro and went to a very nice restaurant. paid money by the government to be open, and opposite him wasa government to be open, and opposite him was a cafe which had also been paid the same money, but that would la st paid the same money, but that would last the cafe a year, where's the money that this restaurant has got would only last a few months, and now these new restrictions, you probably have to look at closing down the place. i think we will hear some very, very sad stories. in the next few weeks. undoubtedly true u nfortu nately. let's next few weeks. undoubtedly true unfortunately. let's cross over to the united states. the huffington post website talks about the perfect storm, which is this coming together of the flu and covid at the same time going into winter. what it's talking about is the deaths in america do to covid have reached 200,000, and what might now happen with winter coming along as america might have a flu epidemic and this coming together is what's been described as the perfect storm. it's been talking about americans saying there should be, the elderly people and the very young children should be taking the flu vaccine. that has probably not been taken as much measure as it should be, and there's a great fear that given an election is going on, the election about who will be the next supreme court justice, about who will be the next supreme courtjustice, and about who will be the next supreme court justice, and we about who will be the next supreme courtjustice, and we know president trump, how he has handled this crisis. he just sees it as a disease from china, and a great fear is that because it hasn't been handled very well, this november in america could see very well, this november in america could see very many well, this november in america could see very many more well, this november in america could see very many more deaths and really be quite horrific. horrific is the word. staying in america. the financial times talks about the economic worries of the coronavirus. powell warns a blow to an economy of congress fails to agree stimulus. basically asking lawmakers there to pass a fiscal stimulus, otherwise the damage could be huge. pass a fiscal stimulus, otherwise the damage could be hugelj pass a fiscal stimulus, otherwise the damage could be huge. i think that applies across the western world, to be honest. if we don't get some kind of continual government support for our economies, then we are facing serious, serious economic meltdown. unless we get rid of the kind of draconian lockdown measures and help people live with the virus, rather than be scared witless. about going to work or going out are going to see her family. going to work or going out are going to see herfamily. in going to work or going out are going to see her family. in the central banks have been doing the support so far. they have been printing as much money as they can get away with, supporting the government schemes that are trying to underpin workers wages so that we don't have the same situation that we had in the 1930s. and i do think that there is a defining moment coming in congress ahead of the election, where the president, and i think in this case, would rightly be said, we have got to support the economy. we've got
