good morning. the health secretary matt hancock has said the ban on gatherings of more than six people will be in place for the "foreseeable future" — possibly even until christmas. if you live in england, you won't be able to socialise with more than six people from monday — both indoors and out — it will be illegal. the government is introducing the move following a sharp rise in the number of cases, which the prime minister has described as concerning . the new legal limit of six is for people of all ages, and comes in on the 14th of september. it will not apply to schools, workplaces or covid—secure weddings, funerals and organised team sports. households and support bubbles bigger than six people are also unaffected. if you break the new laaw you cld be fined £100 — doubling with each offence
to a maximum of £3,200. it's all becuase of a steep rise in coronavirus cases in recent days. the measures apply to england only, with the devolved administrations in scotland, wales and northern ireland setting their own rules. the prime minister will give more details at a news conference at four o'clock this afternoon. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley reports. voiceover: wash your hands, cover your face, make space. a new campaign by the government to remind us all of the basics to stop the spread of coronavirus. ministers and experts have become increasingly worried about the number of new cases and today, new measures are being announced to try to limit social contact. you could pick up or pass on the virus. from monday, in england, gatherings of more than six people are being banned by law. the new measures apply indoors and outdoors. police will be given the power to break up groups, and, if people don't comply, they could be fined £100. this will double on each further repeat offence, up to £3,200.
until now, people from two households could meet in larger groups, but that's been limited to six, meaning two families of four can't all meet at the same time. the new restrictions will apply to hospitality venues like pubs and restaurants, but there will be some exemptions for work and education, and funerals and weddings and organised team sports. borisjohnson will be back at the podium in downing street later where he will tell people: we've seen tighter rules in a number of areas in recent weeks, large parts of the north of england, a number of councils in the west of scotland, caerphilly in wales.
in bolton, significant new restrictions have just come into force. pubs and restaurants have been told they can only serve takeaways. opening hours have been restricted at night, and people have been banned from socialising with those from outside our household. —— their household. the rise in cases in bolton is largely due to socialising by people in their 20s and 30s, we know this from contact tracing, and through our contact tracing system, we've identified a number of pubs at which the virus has spread significantly. but from monday, there will also be new national restrictions for the whole of england — limiting how many people can meet at a time, as the government tries to avoid the virus running out of control. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. 0ur political correspondent helen cattjoins us. this law could be in place potentially until christmas? yes, matt hancock has said it is for the foreseeable future. it comes in on
monday and as he put it, christmas is three months away, three months is three months away, three months isa is three months away, three months is a long time in a pandemic but he hopes by bringing in this sort of measure, along with the measures that already exist, like local lock dans, they hope they will be able to turn that around before christmas but it is a long way off. the immediate aim of the government is to make sure there is not a repeat or doesn't follow the pattern in france and spain, where there has been a rising infections, as we've seen here in the uk. in france and spain that has gone on to be a rise in hospitalisations and in spain, a rise in the number of deaths. the government is saying it is trying to act now to make sure that pattern isn't followed here in the uk. the overriding thing they say they want to do with this by making these restrictions so much simpler is to make it super simple. there has been some criticism it's become difficult for people to understand the rules in different situations. matt hancock said the police, in fact,
have been giving the government feedback to say they need to simplify the rule so they can enforce and this is an effort to do that. the reason it is on social restrictions, matt hancock suggested, is because they have looked at the results of their contact tracing and suggest that is where the spread is coming from. of course, they test entry system itself has come in for some criticism recently for study yesterday, the director of testing sarah marsh apologised to people saying there was a critical pinch point at labs after people were told they had to drive hundreds of miles to go and get a coronavirus test. matt hancock today saying this wasn't a problem with capacity, that capacity in the labs had in fact increased since last week. he said that it was a surge in the number of people coming forward who were not actually eligible, as many as a quarter, he said. we want getting a test to be as easy as possible. we haven't put in place on the website to go through, you know, strong requirements
to prove the eligibility. i don't want to have to do that because i don't want to put a barrier for symptomatic people to get a test. but, unfortunately, we have seen this quite sharp couple of weeks of people without symptoms who don't have a good reason coming forward to get a test. there have been stories of whole schools or parts of schools being all sent to get a test. that is not — not acceptable. it is not an appropriate use of our testing resources. so we have record amount of testing and we need to use it on people who are symptomatic. right, can ijust put to you... just before we finish on this, i also want to address this point to everybody who does come forward for testing. if you have symptoms, please keep coming forward and trying to get a test. we make tests available regularly so that you can get a test local to you. the vast majority of people do get a test local to them and we are trying to stop the problem of people having to travel. matt hancock did suggest when we
hear from the matt hancock did suggest when we hearfrom the prime minister matt hancock did suggest when we hear from the prime minister later there will be some broader changes around enforcing rules in hospitality, like collecting contact details. we should hear more about these restrictions. he has already clarified this morning some of the things people have been asking around, what do these new restrictions mean, intensive if there is any flexibility? if you make it super simple, you make it inflexible. particularly among people with larger families. if you areafamily people with larger families. if you are a family of five, can you only see one grandparent if you will go together? matt hancock said this morning yes, there is the case. he realises there will be restrictions that the government needs to act now on this. thank you very much, helen. your reaction to these new measures from monday to stop steve says they will work. any reductions in person—to—person contact work. 66 million people doing their thing led to the first bike but we are nowhere near that. —— first spike. another says they are so concerned they had
sanctioned horse racing with spectators in doncaster today. 6000 spectators in doncaster today. 6000 spectators every day. i imagine that the virus has agreed to behave until monday! we are going to talk more about what's going on at doncaster at10:30. i have the about what's going on at doncaster at 10:30. i have the rules of what will happen if you are one of the spectators. we will have to cheer silently and you will have to clap silently and you will have to clap silently to avoid spreading covid—19. you will have to wear a mask on arrival, when you leave, when a queue, when visiting the bar, the bookies or the toilet and you have to stand two metres from people at all times. interesting to hear from you if you're going to that horse race meeting. let me know how you are feeling about it. the director of public health at doncaster says the situation will be monitored on a daily basis but we will talk more about that at 10:30. let's talk now to saaed atcha, he s the ceo of a youth charity in bolton — bolton town had even tighter
restrictions imposed yesterday. cathy frost, a shopkeeper in suffolk who says she's noticing fewer people wearing their masks. and finally, sue morter, a retired nurse who has a number of underlying health conditions and is still shielding on the advice of her gp. she s on the phone because where she lives in snowdonia, there is no access to the internet. thank you all. saaed let me start with you, bolton has the highest rate of coronavirus right now. those aged 18—49 account for the majority of cases. much tighter restrictions imposed there, do you back those? absolutely, i think it is the right thing to do because nobody wants to be top of the table. i think it is right we have these restrictions in to try and curb the spread of the virus and try and get it under control. do you think these new measures, which... let me go through them, pubs and restaurants won't serve sit down food, it will be
taken away only. venues will have to close their doors at ten p m at night. schools and businesses will remain open and people are free to come and go as they please. is that going to be enough? we think it is going to be enough? we think it is going to be enough, certainly at my organisation and the young people we work with. what worries us is the large numbers of young people who work in the hospitality sector, who are on zero—hours contracts and are probably being put out of work by this at the moment. it is no surprise that so many young people are testing positive because, as i say, a large number of young people work in the hospitality sector in bolton. we just had the eat 0ut work in the hospitality sector in bolton. we just had the eat out to help 0ut which finished two weeks ago. we are always told there is a two week lag in the data. we expect having reopened society in such a way that restaurants had queues outside them, that there would be a spread of this virus. 0k, outside them, that there would be a spread of this virus. ok, that is interesting, i will come back to that. i want to get reaction from
cathy and sue about the new restrictions on monday. 0nly socialising groups of no more than six. what do you think, cathy? yeah, i welcome the clarity of this and to have a simpler set of rules. there has been a lot of mixed messaging. the last caller said we had eat 0ut messaging. the last caller said we had eat out to help 0ut where we have been encouraging people to go out more. maybe now we are getting the backlash from that. i welcome a bit more clarity around this. the backlash from that. i welcome a bit more clarity around thism the backlash from that. i welcome a bit more clarity around this. it can only help. what about you, sue?|j think the problem is it is... people like myself have been shielding, there is very little to protect us at the moment. anything they do has to be good but i think the main problem is the government has lost at the hearts and minds of the public. do you really think that is true? yes, i do. how long have you
been shielding? we started early, so the beginning of march. really? my goodness, how are you coping with that? i'm more terrified of getting covid than shielding. the thought of getting covid terrifies me. but if you are shielding and doing it effectively, which clearly well, that shouldn't be a risk?|j effectively, which clearly well, that shouldn't be a risk? i agree. but i have an issue, like yesterday, my son's partner went to see her family for the first time. and she will be coming back but there is no guidance on what i am supposed to do because obviously she has been in a household with her family. so potentially she could bring back the virus. but that is not you shielding, she has to stay in a different room or you have to stay ina different room or you have to stay in a different room, not share a toilet, all the things we know about from the early days? yes, it is back to square one. 0k. it is interesting what you said about a lot of young
people work in hospitality and perhaps that's behind the rise of a number of cases in bolton, saaed, but those in hospitality are wearing masks, which protects diners from them. are you suggesting that those customers should also be wearing masks? no. i welcome customers should also be wearing masks? no. iwelcome the customers should also be wearing masks? no. i welcome the health secretary's announcement this morning about them enforcing rules such as mask wearing by members of staff because a number of restau ra nts staff because a number of restaurants even that i went into, there was no level of social distancing. there was none of the staff wearing masks and i think there was a massive lack of enforcement or even engagement in bolton. that is really interesting, those restaurants or pubs are not supposed to be open if they are not following covid secure measures. who is there to police it? i think now it's enforceable from this morning...? wright
it's enforceable from this morning... ? wright from it's enforceable from this morning...? wright from monday. sorry, the groups of six is in law from monday but what is happening in bolton is in law from yesterday afternoon. yes. ithink bolton is in law from yesterday afternoon. yes. i think the businesses need to do more to get their staff the right level of ppe. the majority of young people that we work with have said that they felt u nsafe at work with have said that they felt unsafe at work but they had no other option but to work. that is where we have had a lot of the problems and thatis have had a lot of the problems and that is where i think this bike has come from. of course, there have been young people socialising, of course we have had that. when we have asked why are you doing that, the response was, forever i was told it doesn't affect me. so there has been some mixed messaging but i think hopefully now it is very clear, you can't do anything! you can do some things, you can still go in and out of bolton if you want to. essentially, it is a curfew from ten o'clock at night but it ends at 5am.
cathy, tell us about the fact that you run a shop and you say you are seeing fewer people wearing masks, is that right? yes, it's been a bit patchy. i think when we first had the face masks, pretty much... 98% compliance, everyone following the rules. 0ver compliance, everyone following the rules. over the summer, compliance, everyone following the rules. 0verthe summer, it compliance, everyone following the rules. over the summer, it has kind of lapse sometimes. i think people are getting a bit confused as to when they should wear a mask. people have asked me, do they need to wear a mask because i am a small shop? i think people think because we are not a supermarket, they don't have to. there has been a little bit of mixed messaging. people are not necessarily understanding fully all the rules and regulations out there. so that has been an issue. sue, you are in wales, devolved nations have different rules from each other, do you think it adds to confusion or do you think it adds to confusion or do you think it adds to confusion or do you think people in wales are clear about what is going on there?
initially i thought it was good we had separate rules but i think now there needs to be one set of rules for everybody. then i think everyone will know where we are. it's very bt at the moment and it is not clear. thank you very much all of you, sue, cathy, saaed. take care. by the way, you can watch the coronavirus briefing from the prime minister at apm. you can watch from 3:16. that on bbc one and bbc channel. a major trial of a coronavirus vaccine has been put on hold across the world, after a volunteer in the uk fell ill. the vaccine, being developed by oxford university and drugs company astrazeneca, is being tested in thousands of people in britain and the us, and in smaller groups in brazil and south america. astrazeneca described it as a "routine" pause in the case of "an unexplained illness". a safety review will be carried out before the trial can restart.
let's speak to our health corresondent pallab ghosh about this. —— science correspondent. do you know who this volunteer is, what illness they had? the volunteer has an inflammation in his spine. the doctors say that he should recover but the main thing on this story is that this is a normal procedure to halt the vaccine if someone taking pa rt halt the vaccine if someone taking part in the trial falls ill and there is no readily available explanation. they are going to spend the next few days finding out whether it is a side effect from the vaccine or not and hopefully it will get the all clear and this will happen again. this has happened once before. it didn't receive the same amount of publicity but it is a precaution because clearly it has to be safe for everyone to use. of course. do you know how many people are taking part in this vaccine so
we can put in perspective the fact its been stopped twice and this is a man with an inflammation of the spine and he should recover? so, 10,000 people in the uk have taken pa rt 10,000 people in the uk have taken part and thousands more in other countries. apart from that one case that you mentioned, there have been no other safety issues. so there is a huge amount of evidence to suggest that the vaccine is safe. but even the slightest worry has to be checked out because once a vaccine is rolled out, it will be the entire population that is going to receive it. of course, thank you, pallab ghosh. a man is due to appear in court this morning following a series of stabbings in birmingham city centre during the early hours of sunday. 27—year—old zephaniah mcleod from selly oak, is charged with one count of murder and seven counts of attempted murder. jacob billington, who was 23, died from a stab wound
to the neck; a man and a woman are still critically ill in hospital. a teenager will appear in court today charged with attempted murder and firearms offences, after a 15—year—old boy was shot near kesgrave high school. suffolk police were called to reports of a shooting on a housing estate on monday morning. the injured boy was airlifted to addenbrooke's hospital, where he remains in a critical condition. greece's largest migrant camp on the island of lesbos has been destroyed by a huge fire leaving up to 13,000 people homeless. the camp is notoriously overcrowded and there had been anger over strict quarantine procedures after dozens of people there tested positive for covid—19. the cause of the fire is still not immediately clear. 0ur correspondent mark lobel has the latest. hopeless as they homes burn. many...
all finished. thousands of migrants in this crime refugee camp of makeshift tents and shipping containers are being told to evacuate. strong winds are hindering fire crews battling to contain the blaze. local residents are now witnessing homeless asylum seekers with nowhere to turn, with reports many are being held on a highway. don't have a place to stay tonight. it's about 1000 people that have everything, their belongings and everything, their belongings and everything on the street. you see people walking with luggage. tensions have been rising in recent days as residents objected to their proximity to dozens who have tested positive with coronavirus. the whole campus under a strict quarantine.
authorities promised to improve segregation conditions after a medical charity had warned of disastrous consequences after the forced closure of their relief centre there injuly. it is not the first fire that has broken out of the camp. aid agencies have repeatedly warned about the fragile situation. today's fire will once again put the spotlight on this gateway to europe for many of the world's migrants. the worst ever wildfires to hit the west coast of the united states are continuing to burn out of control in california and washington state. small towns have been left in ruins and officials say the town of malden has been almost completely destroyed. the governor of california says the state is dealing with one of the most challenging periods in its history, with over 900 fires since the middle of august. this country is making plans to break international law. it's not every day that a government minister says that in the house of commons.
here he is — the northern ireland secretary brandon lewis speaking yesterday. this does break international law in a very specific and limited way. we are taking the powers to do supply the eu law concept or direct effect required by article four, in certain, very tightly defined circumstances. as a result, the government's top legal adviser resigned in protest and former pm theresa may asked whether the uk will ever be trusted again when it makes agreements in future. but the head of the european council advised everyone to keep cool. it's all to do with something called the internal market bill. here to talk you through in a really clear and straightforward way is maddy thimont jack, who is senior researcher on brexit at the institute for government which describes itself as a think tank working to make government more effective. thank you for talking to us. people really do want to understand what all this is about. i'm not sure we've been amazing at explaining it in the last few days. what is being
proposed? i will do my best. the uk internal market bill is a bill being introduced to regulate trade within the uk, so between scotland, northern ireland, wales and england. the bit that everyone has been talking about and they bit brandon lewis mentioned in parliament yesterday is what the government is planning to do around northern ireland. the government committed earlier this year that actually it would guarantee unfettered access for businesses trading from northern ireland into great britain, even though they have signed up to the northern ireland protocol with the eu earlier this year. that is the international treaty bit brandon lewis was talking about. it seems they are going to enforce certain powers was that we have not seen the bill yet, i have two ad, to be able to unilaterally make decisions to guarantee that access. the region is controversial because how the northern ireland protocol will be implemented is still up for discussion. within the joint
committee, the body that oversees their withdrawal agreement. the fact their withdrawal agreement. the fact the uk is pre—emptively taking these powers to save we do not reach a decision with the eu, we are going to do this anyway is pretty controversial because of those discussions still being up for negotiation. it is not quite clear what the government is going to do exactly what the government is going to do exa ctly a nd what the government is going to do exactly and what exact powers it will take at this stage but i think there is a real concern that it will lead to a point where the government does break its obligations under international law. one of the key bits is if a free trade deal is not agreed between the uk and the eu then this legislation, the government say, would potentially be very useful to them. in simple terms, it's about agreeing something, voting on it, bringing it in and several months later changing your mind on it. exactly. i think what we should remember is the reason that the question of how northern ireland would trade both with the eu and with great britain
was resolved earlier this year. it was resolved earlier this year. it was because of the history of northern ireland within the uk. there was a real effort from the eu and uk to avoid bringing back a hard border on the island of ireland. the uk committed to that so if the deal was not agreed with the eu, that question would still be resolved. so the fact the government now is willing to potentially go back on that commitment is a concern. i think it is also worth saying that the government's position is this is offering more certainty to northern ireland businesses that we haven't actually had any business group is asking for this at this point. the health secretary on the radio this morning said this was about protecting the northern ireland peace process was that he didn't mention this was about northern ireland businesses. i would also say the northern ireland protocol itself is about protecting the northern ireland peace process, so it is not exactly clear that the decisions that the uk may take in the event of no deal to sort of address that question of trade between great britain and northern ireland, it's
not entirely clear how that will protect the peace process because of the uk doesn't uphold its obligations under the northern ireland protocol, ithink obligations under the northern ireland protocol, i think there might be decisions that need to be taken, that the eu might feel it needs to take about how to honour goods crossing from the eu to northern ireland. there are two different borders at question here. if anyone is watching who runs a business in northern ireland or who works in a company in northern ireland, really interested to hear from you this morning on your views on this and whether you think what is being proposed would actually help your business. let me know, send me an e—mail. can i ask you to ta ke send me an e—mail. can i ask you to take a step back and react to the fa ct a take a step back and react to the fact a government minister has said that this proposed legislation does break international law in a very specific and limited way. what do you make of that? i think all i can say it is pretty extraordinary. i think it is quite incredible to see. normally, if a state wants to
challenge the implementation of an international agreement, they will claim what they are doing is legal. it's very rare for the government minister to say actually, we know that what we are doing what we might wa nt to that what we are doing what we might want to do is illegal but we are going to do it anyway. there are questions about what this might mean for the other negotiations that are going on with the eu. again, the government hasn't said it will break international law just yet government hasn't said it will break international lawjust yet or government hasn't said it will break international law just yet or we government hasn't said it will break international lawjust yet or we are not clear how they will break international law but i don't quite see how the eu, what that means that those negotiations. how will the eu trust the uk to sign up to any of the obligations that it might want to place on it in the next treaty if they don't trust them to uphold the treaty they have already signed? or any other independent nation around world when it comes to the uk trying to do free trade deals once we get to do free trade deals once we get to the end of the transition period. thank you for talking to us. good morning, now time for the weather with matt. good morning, thank you,

find, more than 120 cases, per 100,000. that is what has caused the change in the restrictions. primarily, the difference it will make is to the hospitality industry, so no longer will pubs, cafe is a restau ra nt so no longer will pubs, cafe is a restaurant to be able to serve sit down meals. it will be taken away early. they will also have to close at 10pm early. they will also have to close at10pm and early. they will also have to close at 10pm and only then be able to open at 5am. i want to introduce you to sanjiv. open at 5am. i want to introduce you to sa njiv. good open at 5am. i want to introduce you to sanjiv. good morning. when we talk about these fixed —— these figures, does it sound like your hometown? i was not expecting the figures to be that high. i knew that the numbers were rising but didn't think it would be this bad. bolton seems pretty safe. people are keeping their distance in the supermarkets and shopping centres and stuff like that. it seems safe but the numbers say otherwise. we know from the test and trace data it is people perhaps in their 20s and 30s that are driving the spike. you
are 18. what has been the attitude among your friends? do you feel people have been acting responsibly? most of my friends and i, we try to be safe, keep masks on and things like that but you can only distance toa certain like that but you can only distance to a certain extent when you are together. you do see other groups without their masks on, that sort of thing. there is that element to it. we just kind of need to be more safe and keep ourdistance. we just kind of need to be more safe and keep our distance. with this new lockdown, people may be a little bit more scared so they will be a little bit more careful. we are in the town centre surrounded by lots of pubs that will start to feel the pinch. what is the night—time economy like? this will be quite important for the town. i have not really be not much at night but with the pubs closing i can guess people will not be too happy about that. but it needs to be done if the numbers are rising. you yourself are off to university next week. what are your thoughts about
that? i am kind of excited to move out to liverpool, which should be excited, a new experience for me, but i'm not sure what distance it will be like and what lectures will be like. they said they would do lots of online classes but i'm not sure how much of that there will be. it will be exciting and a good experience. we wish you well, and thank you for talking us this morning. interesting, difficult times, for many of the people in this town, to hear it mentioned as having the highest infection rate in the country, according to the health secretary. obviously, very unwelcome news yesterday afternoon. talking to someone news yesterday afternoon. talking to someone who news yesterday afternoon. talking to someone who runs a news yesterday afternoon. talking to someone who runs a pub earlier this morning. they have said they have only just started to feel that they are getting back on their feet, and having been initially closed and then from july four, being given the opportunity to reopen once again, a slap in the face for them, but talking to many people in the town over the past 24 hours, many people have been saying that they feel that
these type of restrictions have to come into place, to try and dry those infection numbers down. back to you. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian mum, has now been detained in iran since april 2016 — overfour years. the 42—year—old was on holiday with her daughter gabriella in tehran when she was arrested and accused of spying on the iranian regime. she is almost at the end of her five year sentence. she now faces a new trial. she was told this at a court hearing in tehran yesterday after a period when she was allowed to be under house arrest in her parents‘ home — because of the covid risk in prison. let‘s talk to her husband richard ratcliffe who has campaigned tirelessly for her release. good morning to you, mr radcliffe. how do you respond to this? obviously yesterday was bad news. as we have been saying, nazanin has been coming to the end of her
sentence and we have been battling to get her home insisting that it has been unfair all along and a political use of her situation but we we re political use of her situation but we were near to the end and certainly, she was counting down the weeks until it was going to be over. so, to be dragged in to court yesterday in front of the judge who tried her first yesterday in front of the judge who tried herfirst time round, to be told there was a new court case, she would be in on sunday to be heard, and to be told it is the same evidence as last time round, it is a very political charge, it was a tough day yesterday. what is the charge or charges she is now facing? it might change between yesterday and sunday but yesterday the charge was spreading propaganda against the regime which was the charge in the second court regime which was the charge in the second court case regime which was the charge in the second court case that was invented backin second court case that was invented back in autumn 2017, and at the time was being blamed on the then foreign secretary, now prime minister. this is the second court case that has been around. it was originally done
to block nazanin been taken to pa role to block nazanin been taken to parole and having early release and has been brought forward to the end of her sentence. we worried this would be a risk and behind closed doors we have said to the government, you have to protect her and we have to make it clear to iran thatis and we have to make it clear to iran that is not clear to take people to use as leverage other you get something like this, there seems to be what is happening. the truth is that the british government cannot do anything, can it? of course it can. she is going to be held as a bargaining chip. that is difficult, in policy terms, but then the uk knows that iran wants the uk to pay back some money, for the release of mezzanine, and it knows that if it waits there will be suffering to mezzanine and two other people so the uk has to take a firmer line in protecting its citizens. right now,
just needs to go to her trial. we have this court case on sunday. the most important thing they can do is into that courtroom and make it clear that she needs to have a fair trial. that is going to happen. we have the latest from the foreign and commonwealth office, that british officials will seek to attend. they will seek to attend any new hearings in iran against your wife. going back to, on the bigger picture, what else can the british government now do? they need to look seriously, nazanin is not the only one, they have to look at how many british citizens are being held as collateral by iran, and look at the underlying issues causing this tension and also make clear that this is not an acceptable way to use innocent people. they have been doing that. what are these underlying issues refer to? there is the wider tension between the uk and
iran, the specific issue of the uk owing around some money, and has done for a long time and nazanin was picked up in relation to that and at various points it has been made clear to her behind closed doors, we are holding her until we get our money back. how much is the money? it is not a small amount. it is money that iran paid the uk foreign arms deal and that arms deal was then ended. there was a big, long trade dispute about how much we would be paid back and at the end of the court case, 400 million was the ruling. you are calling on the british government to pay that money? i'm calling on them to protect people. it is clearly that their policy is not working, and they have to look at ways to protect mezzanine and the other is currently being held and to make sure that others are not taken. —— to protect nazanin. the authority seem to be getting more evolved and threatening
people and if this comment shows that they may take others. what could the british government do to protect your and others? there are various legal mechanisms, various things they can do at the un and behind closed doors, we have spoken with the foreign office what the options are. generally, they are very cautious, and a lot more assertive that more needs to be done, and we have been having conversations about, in simple terms, you cannot just conversations about, in simple terms, you cannotjust take people and there‘ll be no accountability for it, so there are different ways in which that can be done and we will be talking that through with the government. how is your wife? have you managed to speak to her suggested a? yes, we spoke to her before she was taken to court, afterwards and again this morning. she was terrified before. in reality after the court hearing she was in relief because she feared she would be put back in prison, sojust been back at her mother‘s rossi is with
an ankle tag, is better than being backin an ankle tag, is better than being back in prison. today, a bit more circumspect and in the cold light of day reflecting on what has happened and what it means. she has been counting down the days until the end of her sentence. how is your daughter? both nazanin and i were very stressed yesterday and the poor girl felt that she had been neglected and had snappy parents, but she is only six, so she lives in the moment, doesn‘t really understand why mum is not home, and in some ways i‘m glad she is young enough not to really appreciate things. how do you deal with these awful twists and turns over the past few years, going from despair to optimism to coping with blows like this? the past days have certainly been hard. and we were hopeful back in the spring when nazanin came out of prison and was granted clemency but what finally signed off and she
was coming home, so there are lots of ups and downs and just keep it going and keep the world watching and caring. thank you for talking to us again. thank you very much, richard ratcliffe. the headlines on bbc news... social gatherings of more than six people — both indoors and outside — will become illegal in england on monday, as coronavirus cases continue to rise. a major coronavirus vaccine trial — developed by oxford university and astrazeneca — has been temporarily halted worldwide after a uk volunteer fell ill. new legislation which would override elements of boris johnson‘s brexit withdrawal deal is published today. ministers admit it will breach international law. all senior police leaders in the us city of rochester in new york state have resigned in the aftermath of the death of a black man in police custody. officers came under scrutiny after details of the death
of daniel prude became public. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, has this report — and a warning that you may find some of the images distressing. ijust grabbed him with my hand. this is body cam footage of the arrest of daniel prude. naked in the street, the 41—year—old man, who had mental health issues, was restrained by several officers. he was not armed. he became increasingly agitated after being handcuffed and the officers used what‘s known as a spit hood on him — a device that‘s designed to protect officers from the saliva of a detainee. moments later mr prude lost consciousness as he was held on the ground. he was taken to hospital but died a week later. his death was ruled a homicide caused by complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint. seven police officers involved in the arrest were suspended, but only after lawyers
for mr prude‘s family obtained the body cam footage and made his death public last week. it led to several days of protests in rochester. now the city‘s senior police leaders have all resigned. in a statement, the police chief, la‘ron singletary, said claims of a cover—up in the case were a mischaracterisation. "as a man of integrity, i will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character." this the police chief was supported by the city‘s mayor, although she said changes in the department were needed. well, this has been very challenging times for the city of rochester and the chief was not asked to give his resignation, because i do believe that he‘s giving his very best, but, you know, he didn‘t in any way try to cover this up. a lawyer for one of daniel prude‘s family members said that police resignations were "a step in the right direction".
peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. researchers have discovered deep channels under the ice at the front of the biggest glacier in west antarctica. they believe these channels, some of which are more than 800 metres deep, provide a pathway for warm ocean water to get to the front of the ice, helping explain why it is melting so rapidly. our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, is one of a handful of people to have visited the glacier. have a look. we are whiskey, three, five. next co—ord will be at one, seven, four, zero... this one antarctic glacier is the size of the uk and is already responsible for 5% of world sea level rise. and the rate the thwaites glacier is melting has accelerated fivefold in the last 30 years. last year, a team of british and american scientists set up camp on the glacier. it is one of the most
remote places on earth. by measuring the gravitational pull of the sea bed under the ice, they discovered a network of deep channels, a key step in understanding why the glacier is changing so rapidly. so, these channels are really, really important because they are the pathway that links the deep ocean to the grounded ice sheet and although the surface waters around antarctica are really cold, the deep ocean waters are actually somewhat warmer and it is these warmer ocean waters that get into the ice that you can actually start to see quite rapid changes in the ice sheet behaviour. this is what they think is happening. a series of huge channels, some almost a kilometre below the ice, allowing the warmer, deep ocean water to flow up to the front of the glacier, melting it increasingly rapidly. another team of scientists work from an icebreaker ship at the front of the glacier.
exceptional sea ice break up last year meant they could survey over 2000 square kilometres of the sea floor in front of the thwaites ice shelf. it‘s so important to understand what‘s going on in antarctica today, particularly these big glaciers, like thwaites, because they are changing really quickly as the climate warms and, as they melt, they are feeding more and more water to our global oceans, which is increasing the rate of sea level rise. there is up to 3.5 metres of sea level rise locked up in the ice here, in west antarctica. that‘s enough to reshape the map of the earth, flooding many of the world‘s greatest cities. understanding why this remote area is changing and how quickly it will do so is essential if the world is to prepare for the rising waters to come. justin rowlatt, bbc news.
kim kardashian has announced the end of the reality tv show which helped to make her a celebrity and a billionaire. keeping up with the kardashians was panned by the critics when it began 14 years ago — but it won huge ratings for the e! channel, and a legion of devoted fans for the kardashian family. the final series — the 21st — will be broadcast next year. kim tweeted... she went on thank the ‘thousands of individuals and businesses‘ involved in the programme and added: "i am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years‘. caroline frost. joining me now is the entertainmentjournalist, caroline frost. what do you think of the programme? it is the end of an era. whatever entertainment journalist it is the end of an era. whatever entertainmentjournalist may think of it we have never been able to
ignore it because it has become so significant in terms of tv ratings, popularity, fan bases and socially significant and dare i say it politically. tell us about some memorable moments from over the yea rs. memorable moments from over the years. goodness me, we have 14 yea rs, years. goodness me, we have 14 years, several marriages and divorces, multiple children arriving, probably most notably, kim kardashian‘s two marriages, one of which lasted only eight days but also her power union with kanye west and then the transition from bruce jenner to caitlinjenner, and then the transition from bruce jenner to caitlin jenner, which change the way people feel about many lg bt issues. change the way people feel about many lgbt issues. that was very interesting. what is it about kim kardashian and other members of the family who have captured the imagination of so many women of so many ages all around the world? the
statement came from kim herself, which is a tip to the fact that it is she who has made this decision. she is certainly first among equals of this pack. i would say that it is their transparent pride and aspiration. some people might call that very shameless greed in this day and age but as we have seen there is a market, an audience, and aspiration for that, when so many people aspire to be intellectually bright and achieving, they basically sort of flaunted their wares, if you will, and i say this admiringly. they have looked at the what they have got and packaged it and branded it, and we have to mention chris jenner, without whom none of this would have been possible but they have gone in a different direction from in years gone by a woman wanting to achieve something, and through what is possible. they only have to walk to the atm and look at
their bank balance to have the last laugh. to go into a pub and be surrounded by groups of six people but not for it to be ok to visit our grandchildren because our daughter and husband have just grandchildren because our daughter and husband havejust smack children, so the answer is to meet ourfamily in the pub says one viewer. richard says the ban on gatherings of over six should apply only to under 30s, it should be targeted. restaurants should be open to over 30s. as usual we have a one size fits all reaction. i think that will not go down too well with most of the population. nicky says, good morning, can we have clarification on universities? we live in carefully a nd on universities? we live in carefully and we need to take our daughter to university in bangor. i have just been on the website and if you are in carefully, you cannot enter or leave caerphilly county borough. everyone must wear a mask
and friends and families are not allowed to meet indoors or stay overnight. extended households cannot stay either. so, sorry about that. michelle says, if we have new restrictions, why is the doncaster st leger race meeting still being allowed to go ahead because mcrobbie will ask that question in the next half an hour. now the weather, with matt. we have a weather front edging its way south across parts of england and wales at the moment. patchy rain and wales at the moment. patchy rain and drizzle on it, lying across southern counties by the end of the afternoon. to the north, lots more ina way afternoon. to the north, lots more in a way of sunshine, with sunshine breaking in the cloud in the channel islands and across the south, but a cloudy afternoon with temperatures around 23 celsius. a sunny day for scotla nd around 23 celsius. a sunny day for scotland and northern ireland compared with yesterday, especially in the west. some showers in the north—west of scotland pushing through on a keen breeze, and
temperatures around 12—15, and at 22-24 temperatures around 12—15, and at 22—24 and south—east england. overnight, that humid air will be limited to the channel islands. elsewhere, clearer skies and much fresher with temperatures starting tomorrow in single figures, but it should be a sunny start, too. goodbye for now.
