good morning to you. thank you very i'm here live at league two much for being with us this morning. club tranmere rovers, who face an uncertain future due to the pause let's talk first of all about the death toll, one of our lead stories on fans returning to stadiums. and the lake district could become this morning, passing the1 million home to the world's first paramedic inajet suit. mark. when our view is here that look at this. good morning. from ham this morning, what you think the reaction should be —— our viewers. house, we are going to be talking because without saying it's an absolutely horrendous figure. but i about edible flowers and heritage vegeta bles about edible flowers and heritage vegetables this morning. it is think there is a huge concern now raining here in london, the rain will clear away slowly through the amongst gps and amongst the wider course of the day and most of us then we'll have a dry and sunny day. medical community that the only harms that we are focusing on, both when the fog lifts. i'll have all of the details in about ten minutes. in terms of people in the media, and doctors, and sage, and the government, are really that's from it's tuesday, september 29. our top story. the number of people covid. —— deaths from covid. we have across the world who have died with coronavirus has passed 1 million, according to the tally kept byjohns hopkins university in the united states. had 10,000 extra deaths from people america, brazil and india account for nearly half of the total. at home, possibly from people who more than 33 million people have didn't go to hospital, and not been infected by covid since it emerged in china at the end of last year, asjohn mcmanus reports. covid. patients have been very it's been less than a year since the isolated and deconditioned due to first cases of what became known as lock down and have declined and covid—19 were first identified in passed away. it's horrendous. i wuhan, in china. the entire city was didn't say anything else about a 1 put into lockdown, and the pictures million death toll, but the harms from covid and the restrictions are of the measures adopted by the authorities to help the virus‘s in fact much greater than that. spread flew around the world. now yeah, in terms of those restrictions, which we will talk to the number of deaths globally has the government about in about an hour, there are over 16 million hiti the number of deaths globally has hit1 million, the number of confirmed infections is more than 33 people now under some sort of local million. the worst hit country, the lockdown. how do you think that is affecting, in terms of the patients you are speaking to, how is that united states, followed by brazil and india. with more than 42,000 having an impact on people physically and mentally? well, there deaths, the uk is the fifth most affected country, though each government calculates its figures have huge effects. —— there are huge effects. i have spoken to people who differently. this is a sombre moment, when we realise notjust the are completely deconditioned by isolation and lockdown. for elderly scale of the tragedy, but the number people it is really important for muscle mass and mobility to be going of personal tragedies that are accompanying that number. it's for out each day, as they may be, just eve ryo ne accompanying that number. it's for everyone who have died, they have left theirfamily to the shops or to see somebody, and everyone who have died, they have left their family and loved one, for their emotional health. if we they have possibly destroyed look at the case of the students in people's livelihoods as a result. the scale of the tragedy is even manchester, for example, first year university is actually known as one bigger than that staggering number. of the peak times for mental health and as transmission rates continue to rise in some parts of the uk, there has been a further tightening problems, including depression and of restrictions in parts of the self—harm, so, to lock students away north—east of england. in durham, for two weeks is incredibly damaging. i have patients who are gateshead, newcastle, north and south tyneside, northumberland and tremendously anxious, who are now sunderland. households in those healed because they have lost their areas had already been advised not job or because they cannot be a to mix, but from midnight tonight relative in a care home. i mean, i any meeting between households in think the harms from what i see on any meeting between households in any different indoor setting such as pubs and restaurants will be against the ground are so wide—ranging, while it is important of guys that the law. the band will be enforced we understand and we know mortality by fines, £200 for a first offence, the amount doubled for a second rates, ——it is important that we offence and then rising for each understand and know mortality rates, subsequent infringement. the it has shifted our focus. in the government says the measures are government has focused so far into needed as there are now over 100 covid restrictions we have almost forgotten all of these other harms covid—i9 cases needed as there are now over 100 covid—19 cases per 100,000 people in the region. it says many of the but are starting to outweigh covid. 0ne but are starting to outweigh covid. one of those is the sort of seasonal public are being infected in indoor flu. there is a question that came settings outside the home. but the inforyou, i know flu. there is a question that came announcement appears to have come as in for you, i know you posted on social media this morning you are going to come on here. and it has a announcement appears to have come as a surprise to local council leaders. what has concerned me as this question. hopefully you are announcement is being made without watching. you mentioned yesterday any notice whatsoever to either of with our gp yesterday about us as any notice whatsoever to either of us as local authorities ordered to shortages of flu vaccines. is that oui’ us as local authorities ordered to our local police. and that is deeply something you are finding in your worrying when it comes to making own practice as well? so, we have sure that we're all working together not found that so far, but possibly here. with the infection rates because we are vaccinating our high risk ribs at the moment. we are rising in other regions, including merseyside and london, whitehall will be watching closely to see if vaccinating the over 65 and anyone with a background health condition, i know early on in the pandemic, a these new restrictions succeed in dampening transmission rates. john couple of months ago the women mcmanus, bbc news. announced they were going to be vaccinating 30 million people, including all of the over 50 people, and we have not started doing that. around 2 million people living in the north—east of england are facing tighter restrictions to curb a rise in coronavirus cases. we have had saturday mornings to get from tomorrow, it will be illegal for households to mix in any indoor people into flu vaccinations. i am setting such as pubs pleased to say people are really and restaurants. anyone found to be breaking keen to have it. at the moment we the rules could face a fine. the health secretary, matt hancock, arejust keen to have it. at the moment we are just vaccinating the high said the rate of infections keen to have it. at the moment we arejust vaccinating the high risk in the region was now more groups. and it is great to speak to agp groups. and it is great to speak to a gp every day. you are meeting than 100 cases per 100,000. people who have genuine concerns about either coronavirus or other complaints as well. i wonder what adults in england without an a—level the feedback has been about the or equivalent qualification will be offered a free college course to boost theirjob prospects various applications people are now amid the pandemic. the prime minister being encouraged to download on will outline the scheme their phones. i think the health in a speech later today. secretary has talked about it being let's speak now with our political the most recent one. the nhs app is correspondent helen catt. during a slap from westminster. the most recent one. the nhs app is the most recent one. the nhs app is the most downloaded app in the history of the uk. but how's it however this work? some of the going down with patients? detail is to be set out but the history of the uk. but how's it going down with patient57m history of the uk. but how's it going down with patients? it is courses will be available from next interesting because again we have to look at not just the obvious april, and, if don't already have an interesting because again we have to look at notjust the obvious benefit from those things, but also the a—level or equivalent qualification, these will be free. there will be unintended harms stop for example, fully funded and the government is missing there will be a time and a there is another covid app which is bringing usa location that suits you. ——is there is another covid app which is bringing us a lot of data which is promising. also flexible loans for called the covid symptoms study. i people so they are able to study at had more than one patient tell me any stage in life. why do this? of course last week we saw the they have had to take their temperature every day, they have not chancellor announcing a job support scheme in response to the gone out when they could have done coronavirus pandemic, but he said because they felt they had symptoms. the economy was going to change and not everyjob there are some unintended the economy was going to change and not every job was the economy was going to change and not everyjob was going to continue consequences. it is fantastically to exist. and that is something we nhs app has been downloaded more expect the prime minister to push home later in a speech when he will than, as you say, 10 million times. it is yet to be shown whether it say we cannot, alas, save everyjob. actually protects us and helps us, but the fact that people are onboard what we can do is give people the skills to find and create new and with it, given the issues we have had with some restrictions over the betterjobs. labour questioning last few months in its valve, is whether this scheme has the scale and the ambition to do that. they very positive. ellie cannon, very wa nt and the ambition to do that. they want a national retraining strategy and say what the government is good to talk to you. that is doctor proposing here is simply a mix of ellie cannon. i am sure we will have reheated old policies and funding that will not be available until a look at those numbers on the nhs later. thank you, helen catt, we app, hopefully by the end of this week, hopefully. will speak to you later on. with the uk government postponing the health service in england the return of crowds to sporting is dealing with a surge events, the future of many of coronavirus cases, football clubs is in doubt — while tackling a "huge backlog" particularly the lower leagues. of people needing care, sally's at tranmere rovers for us with exhausted staff. this morning to find out how that's according to the nhs confederation, which represents they are coping. trusts and other take us through the rest of the healthcare providers. they're warning it could be day's spot as well. good morning, difficult to deliver safe and effective services sally. good morning dan, good with the current level of funding. here's our health morning louise, good morning everybody. i have to confess, at correspondent dominic hughes. this point i am a bit sentimental the response of the healthcare service to the first wave weekly here. i grew upjust this point i am a bit sentimental here. i grew up just around the corner from here. i grew up just around the cornerfrom here, here. i grew up just around the corner from here, and reshaping services to cope with a here. i grew up just around the cornerfrom here, and this is one of the first place as they came to do huge number of patients has been watch a football match. it is really widely praised. but health service lovely to be here this morning but leaders nowa nowa warning heading clu bs lovely to be here this morning but clubs like tranmere rovers, up and into winter —— are now warning down the country, are in crisis at the moment. they are under threat of heading into winter, the nhs is going under completely if they do being challenged on all sides. the not get some kind of financial nhs is preparing to deal with rescue package either from the outbreaks and a second serve of the government orfrom the rescue package either from the government or from the premier league, that is what they are asking virus. it is straining everything for. the lifeblood of clubs like new to deal with the backlog of this is of course their fans. i am delighted to say here at brendan activity that amounted during the parker we arejoined by first phase of the pandemic as well as responding to pressures on services. 0nly, restrictions they delighted to say here at brendan parker we are joined by two tranmere are working within because of rovers fans. good morning. good infection control measures and other morning. it must be strange to be things to make sure the teams and patients are as safe as possible. sitting here, because at the moment the nhs confederation surveyed more you are not allowed in. it is a bit disappointing. we were hoping this than 250 senior health service leaders in england on the challenges saturday would be the first game ahead. you are than one in ten felt back for fans, so a lot was going on their current level of funding allowed them to deliver safe and about that. that has had to stop for effective services, nearly three now and it's a problem for clubs gorges said they may miss targets on such as ourselves because people think football is awash with money, restoring routine operation levels but it's not the premier league down —— nearly three quarters by october. here, and as a —— you go further and nine intends that they were concerned about the long—term impact the pandemic was having on front—line staff was that the down the legs, the money dries up. department of health and social care in england as it has announced more not having fancier at this stage is than £48 billion in additional funding to help tackle the pandemic. a real crisis for us —— having fans but this report calls for a more fundamental reassessment of what the here. and they won't be back for the nhs cannot realistically be expected foreseeable future. a really to deliver, as well as understanding for the public, as work begins on reducing that long backlog of difficult situation, isn't it? and patients needing care. dominic you two are on the board here. how hughes, bbc news. much influence can you have and how frightening is that when you hear donald trump and joe biden go head—to—head later in the first us directly from the club how close presidential debate. things are getting? it is worrying. it's taking place in cleveland, ohio and comes with the president on the back foot after revelations in the new york times i have spoken and tranmere rovers is about his business losses and tax ahead of other clubs, we have fans avoidance. onboard, but we are not immune to 0ur washington correspondent, what has happened in football. mark has said we have had to rely gary 0'donoghue, looks ahead. the stage is almost set, the actors soon to be in place heavily. tranmere is a massive and america about to get its first head—to—head show in this battle community club. what the community for the white house. the president has reportedly done little has done on their own, they have put formal preparation, instead questioning his opponent's 35,000 meals up to the community, mental capacity, repeatedly better than 5000 people, and calling him ‘sleepyjoe', and going further. foot ball better than 5000 people, and football clubs are a huge part of the community, this one especially. and how much longer can clubs like ijoke that he is no winston churchill in debating tranmere keep going in this current but he was fine. situation without help?|j tranmere keep going in this current situation without help? i mean, i and people say he was think tranmere is not immune, we're on performance enhancing drugs. not going to say we are well sorted, and the former vice president's reaction to that. laughs we are not budgeted to have no fans from december, but a lot of clubs we he's almost — no, i have no know, we are friends with lots of other football clubs and fans, it is comment. just around the corner now. you saw the letter from the grips of a so some people might think the stakes are higher for trump government, they need to act now —— because he's behind from the group to the government. otherwise we will lose a lot. that in the polls, but i think letter has gone to 0liver dowden, the way he makes up ground, however, is by biden looking bad. appealing for help. the football in that sense, biden‘s industry needs help a bit like performance is more important than trump's performance. theatres, they eventually got some help. and how important has this unlike previous debates, the two contenders will not clu b help. and how important has this club being in your life in terms of have a big audience to feed off — friends and community? it is a big as few as 60 people are expected to be community club. there are a lot of in the hall itself. gary 0'donoghue, bbc people here who have it as much of news, cleveland, ohio. billions of litres of water their day—to—day life. a lot of

the east under the clear skies. tomorrow we start off with rain in the west and that will move through the course of the day through towards eastern areas, some of it will be heavy. 0ut towards the west we will see a return to sunshine and showers. as the winds in the west to start with, those winds will transfer into the english channel throughout the day and temperatures once again are in the mid—to—high teens stop louise and dan. yesterday i had garden envy. i had been cutting my lavender, but there was nothing like that, carol, so i am very disappointed in myself. was nothing like that, carol, so i am very disappointed in myselfm is beautiful. it is so well manicured here, louise. look at it. it is amazing. they have a team of gardeners. you are doing very well. it is 7:13am. the nhs in england is facing a "triple whammy" of issues as it deals with an increase in coronavirus cases and a "huge backlog" of people needing care. this is according to the nhs confederation, which represents trusts and healthcare providers, who say the service will struggle to cope with the current level of funding. we can speak now to danny mortimer, the chief executive of the nhs confederation and ami jones, a frontline medic. good morning to you both. danny, first of all, give us an assessment of these figures and how concerned we should be this morning? good morning, dan. we are in a place where amijones morning, dan. we are in a place where ami jones and her colleagues over the last six months have worked exceptionally hard, and right now they are working really hard to try and make good some of the delays to treatment that were experienced by patients without covid—19. as we look forward, we have three challenges: the first is, the impact of the virus, we are seeing a resurgence of the virus in various parts of the country, and that will impact on our services and teams. the second is we have that experience now of delayed treatment for patients without covid, and we also seeing demands for treatment rehabilitation for people who have had the virus and an impact on people's mental health because of current circumstances that people are experiencing. and thirdly, restrictions in terms of how we can work because of the infection control and other measures that our teams are having to put in place. what we have seen over the last six months of course is a lot of innovation. a huge amount of thoughtful, different ways of working that are being implement by teams across the nhs. but we need some support from the government now to address both the challenge in the shorter term, but also that longer term need to address those delays to treatment. and while the government have been very supportive of the nhs in recent years, no—one anticipated the impact of the pandemic on us and also colleagues in social care. let's talk about some of those impacts with ami jones. how many people are in intensive care at the moment with covid, and what sort of people are they? the numbers are small. we know intensive care beds is kind of the canary down the pit. if you are looking at the numbers of intensive care patients as a marker of how bad it is going to get, it is probably too late by the time the icus probably too late by the time the icus start to fill up. nationally, in wales, about ten to 25% of the patients in icu at the moment are covid patients, and that will be very different in different areas. my area is locked down, up the road from us is the highest rate in the uk at the moment, about 300 per 100,000. 50 it is uk at the moment, about 300 per 100,000. so it is making its way back in. but as has been said, we're trying to keep normal business going. my house —— hospitalwas quick to try to get elective surgery going. we want to keep that going and we're just kind of looking at the numberof and we're just kind of looking at the number of patients getting into hospital and thinking, how are we going to cope with this, with carrying on cancer operations and with the usual winter pressure we have every year? one of those points daniel was talking about, the impact on staff. all of you have had a really tough six or seven months. what is the impact on that as well? of that, as well? obviously, at the time, the first wave was very tricky to go through. very emotionally challenging for a lot of us. it has just been ongoing. we have not been able to let our guard down. everything we do, we have to wear ppe for certain types of patients. even our normal day job ppe for certain types of patients. even our normal dayjob is not enjoyable, wearing ppe all the time. and i think when i talk to my colleagues, and we start to see the patients coming in again, they were pretty despondent, they were like, wow, have we got to go through this ain? wow, have we got to go through this again? we are up for it. we have polished off all our plans and we are ready to go. but it is with a heavy heart that we find ourselves ina heavy heart that we find ourselves in a position, and i think people are going to struggle even more this time. i don't know if the public support is going to be there as it was in the first wave. i've had lots of people contacting me on social media saying, we think this is all a conspiracy, what you are saying is a lie. you think, how can you say that? we are in hospital looking after these patients. and it is the same demographic as last time. they are pretty young and fit, people in their305, are pretty young and fit, people in their 305, 405 are pretty young and fit, people in their305, 405 and are pretty young and fit, people in their 305, 405 and 505, nothing wrong with them on paper. they are the ones ending up in icu. and for yourselves, you think, that could be me. we have to go through that whole rolle rcoa ster of me. we have to go through that whole rollercoaster of emotion again. let's put some of those thoughts back to daniel. i wanted to talk to you about funding, because many people write remember that back in july, the chancellor announced, i think the figure was £39.1 billion of health services plus an additional £16.4 billion last week to tackle coronavirus. i never part of this, you are asking for funding, but how much more will you need, do you think? i think in truth we need to see how this next few months plays out, in terms of some of the scenarios that amy just plays out, in terms of some of the scenarios that amyjust described. i think what we do know is that in order to address those delays to treatment, we are going to have to create extra capacity and work over the next couple of years to kind of makes good those waiting times, those delays, to our patients. we still know, and we had this before the pandemic, of course, but we've got some really challenging underlying problems around vacancies and we need to see investment there. and for a long time now, as a country, we have failed to invest properly and social care. and again, as well as the impact on amy and her collea g u es as well as the impact on amy and her colleagues in the nhs, we have also seen an colleagues in the nhs, we have also seen an astonishing impact on our colleagues, caring project will be for the elderly in social care settings. —— particularly for the elderly. that speaks to the urgent need for a long—term plan for social care. those are all things that the government needs to consider as it looks at its plans in years to come. but it could also do some things to back some of the changes we are making to the ways in which we work. some lighter and leaner regulation, some greater support for some of the different things that we want to do, would also be really welcome. amy, one last thought for you. presumably you are going into work today. what is your message, because we know there are local lockdowns, do you think those will make a difference to you? i think they will make a difference. we have seen that they have made a difference. one of our areas, carefully, got locked down earlier than the others, and we have seen earlier than the others, and we have seen the rates drop. —— caerphilly. please do what you can to obey the rules because the nhs cannot cope with another big wave of covid and the usual winter pressures. it is very simple things, just not going into people's houses without wearing face masks, washing your hands, getting a flu jab. some people's bad behaviour could ruin the nhs this year, please don't be one of those people. a clear message from you, amy. and daniel mortimer, good to hear from you as well. thank you both. and on that issue of local lockdowns, that is what we're going to talk about malcolm isn't it? yes. so, as we've been hearing, from tomorrow it'll be illegal for two or more households in the north—east to mix in any indoor setting such as pubs and restaurants. but the government has been criticised for not informing local authorities of the new measures first. let's talk about this with the leader of newcastle city council, nick forbes. so just sojust for so just for anybody who is switching on their tv, from midnight tonight, your region will see tougher measures added to what you have been experiencing for the past few weeks, which will affect about 2.5 million people. give us an idea of the consultations that you are having with the government, and how you came to learn of these new measures? well, last week we saw the introduction of some new restrictions across our region. we we re restrictions across our region. we were waiting to see whether they we re were waiting to see whether they were starting to take effect, but we we re were starting to take effect, but we were also having discussions with government around the potential need for additional regulations, but alongside those, the requirement for additional support for businesses, additional support for businesses, additional capacity around test and trace, and support to ensure that there was appropriate enforcement in place for these new regulations, which, let's be fair, have not been tried or tested before. there is still confusion about whether it is local authorities or councils you will have the responsibility for enforcement. so there is a whole series of questions we were starting to us government about over the weekend and yesterday. it was a bit ofa weekend and yesterday. it was a bit of a bolt from the blue, when the secretary of state stood up and made his announcement, and through everything, really, into the air again. —— threw everything. the problem is not just again. —— threw everything. the problem is notjust that the secretary of state has made an announcement without any kind of understanding on the impact on affected businesses and the potential for affected businesses and the potentialforjob affected businesses and the potential for job losses, affected businesses and the potentialforjob losses, but affected businesses and the potential forjob losses, but also, by doing so, and doing it in a very knee—jerk way, it means that we have not got the right communications m essa g es not got the right communications messages in place locally, and as a result, confusion and chaos spreads, which actually undermines the very m essa g es we which actually undermines the very messages we are trying to get across to the public. do you think that those, i mean, we havejust heard from amy, an icu nurse in wales, talking about the importance of local lockdowns. do you think these measures, we can hearfrom local lockdowns. do you think these measures, we can hear from you that you are peeved about how they were announced, do you think are necessary? i am not arguing with the measures themselves. i don't mean we would welcome them, but we certainly think they are necessary, if we are to get on top of the spread of the virus. we have seen the numbers go up virus. we have seen the numbers go up from two weeks ago, one in 200 people in our area testing positive for covid, now it is one in nine. and that rate is getting even smaller. the challenge that we have got is the exponential spread of the virus, and all the evidence we have got from the contact tracing that we are doing is that the points of transmission are predominantly pubs and bars and in people's homes. those are the areas where we know that we need tightening of restrictions. but my plea to the government is, please don'tjust announce these, firstly about local and —— involvement, but secondly without making sure that we have got the right support in place for the many thousands of people affected. 0therwise many thousands of people affected. otherwise all we do is undermine confidence in the measures overall and create a bigger backlash against them than is necessary. do you think, neck, bearing in mind what you have just said to us now, think, neck, bearing in mind what you havejust said to us now, do think, neck, bearing in mind what you have just said to us now, do you think people are going to listen? well, my worry is that we have had so many messages, it is so confusing, people are now kind of scratching their heads and saying, what does it mean for me? can i meet ina beer what does it mean for me? can i meet in a beer garden, all those kinds of things. the problem is that by getting into that kind of level of discussion, it is detracting from the big picture message, which is that maintaining social distancing in every setting and making sure that we don't come into contact with people unnecessarily is the biggest single thing that we can all do to try to present —— prevent the spread of this disease, and my worry is that the way the government is doing this, ina that the way the government is doing this, in a really shambolic way, i'm sorry to say, and i take no pride in taking a shot at the government on this, it is not something i want to do, we've got to be working together, because by not doing so, we are undermining the very thing we are trying to achieve, which is keeping people safe. nick forbes, thank you for your time. that was the leader of newcastle city council, quite critical of how the government have put those new restrictions in the north—east. and we will be speaking to a government minister ina we will be speaking to a government minister in a few minutes on this programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. a woman in her eighties has suffered "potentially life—threatening" injuriesis during a collision involving a bus at oxford circus. police were called around 3:30pm yesterday afternoon and london air ambulance was also at the scene. both sides of regent street were closed. the scheme which allowed soho streets to be temporarily pedestrianised because of the coronavirus pandemic is to be extended until the end of october. it means restaurants, bars and cafes can keep tables outside, allowing them to serve more customers. there are calls for ealing council bosses to resign over the introduction of a controversial traffic calming scheme. the temporary road blocks and diversions have been criticised for creating chaos and delaying emergency services. the leader of the opposition accused the council of "incompetence," after it didn't consult the london ambulance service on its plans. the council has apologised. during the pandemic 320 rough sleepers were housed in hotels in newham, effectively ending homelessness in the borough. but there's growing concern over what will happen when the government funds come to an end. i'm worried that once this pandemic finance runs out, where are all these people in hotels going to go? there's going to be a new influx of homeless, drug addiction, crime, violence, if we don't put something in place now. chiswick flower market, which saw thousands of people attend its first ever event last month, has been cancelled because of coronavirus fears. organisers, who had ambitions to rival columbia road flower market, took the decision after london was put on the government's national covid—19 watchlist. but the royal opera house will be re—opening its doors to live audiences from next month. the covent garden venue has announced its autumn programme, which will also be available to watch online. let's take a look at the travel situation now. all looking good on the tubes at the moment. but the a13 is slow in both directions this morning as you can see here. out of town there's a lane closed just after the beckton roundabout following a crash. right, time for your weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a really mild start out there this morning. we do have quite a bit of cloud, one or two spots of light rain and drizzle, and it's quite misty in one or two spots as well. this is a cold front which will gradually start to move away east through the course of the morning. we'll get some brighter spells, some sunnier spells, as we head into the afternoon. the wind is light today and temperatures are likely to reach between 16 and 19 celsius, at least towards the west of london. so feeling quite warm in the sunshine later. 0vernight tonight, a bit of patchy cloud, some clear spells as well. it looks like it'll stay dry again. might get one or two mist patches, but the wind will start to lift as we head into the early hours. temperatures between 9 and 11. tomorrow, that wind will start to strengthen and we'll get some sunshine in the morning, but then rain as we head through wednesday afternoon. it turns progressively more unsettled as we head towards the end of the week. that's all from me. there's plenty more on our instagram and facebook, though, including some interesting tales of different people's pandemic experiences, all from a bench on clapham common. moment with covid, and what sort of people are they? hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. the number of coronavirus deaths around the world has passed 1 million, according to the tally kept byjohns hopkins university. america, brazil and india account for nearly half of the total. the uk has recorded more than 42,000 deaths, making it the fifth worst affected country in the world. gillian keegan is the minister for apprenticeships and skills — she joins us now from westminster. good morning to you. thank you much indeed forjoining us. let's talk about what is really a grim milestone, but is really striking is that the uk has the fifth highest rate of coronavirus deaths. as the government failed to keep this under control? well, no. i mean, obviously, we have said often that, you know, doing comparisons between countries, doing comparisons between where we are life is not really the point. i think what is worrying right now and what is a serious situation is the moment in the uk, the number of cases is doubling every ten days. and that is actually a serious situation that we are worried about, which is why we have introduced new measures, new restrictions, et cetera, to try and see if we can get that r number back under one, which is the most important focus we have right now. let's talk exactly about those restrictions. there are so many different restrictions in different places, there are rules that are different in wales, scotland, northern ireland and england. currently over 16 million people under local lockdown in the uk, 65% of northern england. with all those different rules, is this not a confusing picture for people? well, actually, we try to simplify the rules as much as possible, but you are quite right, i mean, you know, if you had said was a year ago we would be living under some of the restrictions that we were living under now, know nobody would have believed us. this global pandemic has had a massive impact on every pa rt has had a massive impact on every part of our lives, but while we're in this situation where we are learning to live with the virus until we get a vaccine, and so we some different methods to combat it, then at the moment it really is hands, face, space and those areas that have higher case arises and we really do have to reduce the amount of socialising, which seems to be where, and i guess it makes an, where, and i guess it makes an, where a lot of the transmission is taking place. we have been speaking to the leader of newcastle city council. he said there are so many messages, it is so confusing, and that detracts from the big picture of social distancing. well, we have tried to simplify it. hands, face, space, the only thing that actually kills coronavirus at the moment is soap and hand sanitiser. that is why it is so important that people use that. and then obviously the face and space for airborne, you know, coronavirus, to make sure that you wear a face mask, take yourself and others and keep far away. now we have the rule of six. obviously in local areas there are some curfews that have been brought into place, which has now been extended across the country. we have some additional restrictions known not mixing. you know, there are some different rules for different areas. but by and large the main rules are really simple. hands, face, space, rule of sex, you know, be finished with your socialising before ten p.m.. —— rule of six. is this a creeping national lockdown? no! it is responding to a very serious situation. as i said, the rate of infection is doubling every ten days. we have to change that trajectory. that is why we are asking everybody to take this seriously, and, you know, protect yourself but mostly make sure you are protecting others. living with the virus, we can only do two things, we can either learn to live with it, use the only weapons we have, hands, face and space, minimising the amount of socialising we do, and in doing that in a sensible way, all we end up with further restrictions. you know, really, we' re further restrictions. you know, really, we're living with the there really, we're living with the there really isn't — we can't pretend that isn't the case. and we do have, as they have across many parts of europe in the world, the infections are rising again. so, we do need to ta ke are rising again. so, we do need to take this extremely seriously. are you protecting people by closing, you protecting people by closing, you know pubs and restaurants at 10pm, then we have seen those scenes in cities across the uk, of many, many people out on the streets, trying to get out on public transport at the same time. we are looking at pictures now from your. are you going to look at that? 10pm, that curfew and the impact it is having? i think the thing to really remember, you will see some photographs and clearly in some of the city centre is were, you know, people who were having a party and so on, but the vast majority of people in this country did not do that. the vast majority of people will obey the rules, will make sure that they leave before 10pm if they wa nt to that they leave before 10pm if they want to avoid a crush on public transport. obviously we have said we will make sure there is a lot more public transport available around that time as well. but i think, you know, people would get used to this, i think, and know, people would get used to this, ithink, and people know, people would get used to this, i think, and people will hopefully start to take it seriously. because for all of us, this is something that everything we do impact the health of everybody else. so, we do need to make sure that we take it seriously. and i hope that won't be repeated, week after week. can i just ask you about students? you are pa rt just ask you about students? you are part of the department of education, aren't you? i think it is for the universities have cases of coronavirus, thousands of students are having to self—isolate. was it right to encourage them to go back? well, of course we want... this group of young people who have missed out from quite a lot due to coronavirus, they missed out on their last part of school, they missed out on their exams, their lever is' parties, festivals and things they would have done over the summer, there are fresh as' weeks, they have been impacted a lot by this coronavirus pandemic. and, you know, obviously the universities are responsible for this decision, but i do think that offering that blended learning, some of that university experience, is important. you know, people don't want to... we have to live with this virus. they do not wa nt to live with this virus. they do not want to put their life on hold for a long time. universities have gone through a massive effort to make sure they are safe, that they are covid — friendly, and obviously we need to make sure that students learn to live within these rules and particularly ta ke learn to live within these rules and particularly take the socialising aspects of it, hands, face, space, seriously. and just try to make sure they keep the infection down. but stu d e nts they keep the infection down. but students are treated no differently than anyone else. anyone of us. if you get run a virus, you have to self—isolate for 14 days. and if you have been in contact with somebody who has it, you have to self—isolate for 14 days. that is what many people across the country will have to do. and if the infection rates continue to rise, more of us will have to do it, which is so important important to follow the rules to try and get those infection rates down so we don't have to self—isolate. gillian keegan, minister for apprenticeships and skills. thank you very much for your time this morning. thank you. with the uk government postponing the return of crowds to sporting events, the future of many football clubs is in doubt — particularly the lower leagues. sally's at tranmere rovers football club for us this morning to find out how they are coping. good morning, sally. good morning, it isa good morning, sally. good morning, it is a tricky old time. i tell you what, we are inside renton park in wirrulla, right now. ifeel like that bloke on football focus, i don't know if you have seen him. we have privileged access into the ground this morning was that we are in the changing rooms of prenton park. here is the chairman of the club. thank you very much for letting us then. difficult times for clu bs letting us then. difficult times for clubs in the lower leagues, what is it like for you here? it is like how it like for you here? it is like how it is for everyone else. we have lost 25% of income, some clubs have lost 25% of income, some clubs have lost a 30%. we have put costs back on, we had to bring our players back in. and new players we brought in. we have the full wages cost from six weeks before that, and everybody is in the same boat in regards to that. difficult times. a letter has gone to the government from leading figures in football, appealing for help. where do you want to help to come from? should it come from the premier league, the government or a combination of both of them?|j premier league, the government or a combination of both of them? i think the latter, to be honest. everybody looks at the game. we understand the message, it is difficult to bring cards back and keep social distancing and students can come over from university at all about. we understand that. i am not a fan personally of help for an industry and a straight handout. i have to say that. but i think the circumstances are different here. we have a unique set of circumstances. there really is a financial armageddon coming to hit a lot of the clubs, certainly lower down the leagues. i think it is worth looking out. for me, there are a variety of measures they could do. —— looking out. the premier league have looked at some but they have their own problems. maybe match funding, a concept that is not unknown to the government and local government, for example, whereby if the psa put cash m, example, whereby if the psa put cash in, if the government put cash in as well. —— the pfa. the changes developers to apply because our magical spaces have to be worked, but the reality is there a number of the government can do, which have to do with the paye and custom is not chasing for debts which have been built up, et cetera, making loans available. i think the reality is while the holders being built in the short term, putting revenues forward and delaying paying creditors, that can only go for so long. i think there has to be some tangible money that comes in permanently, and as i say, match funding may be one of the ways that is done. and there is the thorny issue of player wages in the premier league. what can be done about the huge differences, the gap in wealth? i think there are a couple of questions on that. one is the gap in wealth. for me, there are very few times when you look at a problem and it seems to be 1—dimensional. for me, i think the problems in football i pretty much 1—dimensional. wages is the issue right the way through. they are linked in the pyramid, it's one of the attractions of the pyramid, and wages is part of that. if you're talking about money from the government, i think it is sensible to ask for conditionality is to be attached to it. and maybe a medium karen fix on wages could get that sorted out —— the term, but the reality in the short term is clubs do need the money now. someone at rovers is unusual because the of the bands —— tranmere rovers is unusual because of the involvement of the fa ns because of the involvement of the fans and community. i don't want to preach to other clubs about what they should do. a lot of other clubs do have fans and put fans. nikki and i have worked on trying to get them in. and! i have worked on trying to get them in. and i believe that fans are clu bs in. and i believe that fans are clubs at the end of the day. fans are the club. it's not difficult to turn that into a major positive. we have worked closely with our trust and official supporters club over the years, and that is one of the things we did build. so, for example, the tremendous support we have had in terms of season tickets has been largely led and developed by those guys. i can't tell fans how to be fans, it's for them to tell me what is required and... they were on the programme earlier. they said if you're so connected with this club, it is almost becoming a little bit like the german model, where there is an ownership, an element of ownership the fans have for the club. yeah, i think, i ownership the fans have for the club. yeah, ithink, i mean, those quys club. yeah, ithink, i mean, those guys really deserve the credit for a lot of what has happened at the club in terms of what does it want. for me, when i was at the fa, i was astounded. use of the trusts fighting with the club et cetera, and fans fighting with the club does make use of the trusts fighting. and that framework in which you can work together, you know, owners have said we bring fans in, you get a lack of confidentiality, we have had no problems like that. so we have been very lucky with the people we have had. mark palios, thank you very much indeed. thank you for your time and for letting us into prenton park this morning. we will have former fa chairman greg dyke on the programme later, he is one of the football people who signed a letter to the government that has gone in day appealing for help. thank you for that, sally, that is a huge issue for many clubs at the moment. it is 7:41am. carol is out and about in a beautiful garden again for us to morning —— this morning. a beautiful 17th—century house on the banks of the river thames. good morning to you, too. i am in ham house this morning! you can see it behind me here. it does look spooky, doesn't it? allegedly it is one of the most haunted houses in the uk. we are actually in the cherry gardens at the moment, home to in excess of 1200 lavender plants. we are back in the mid 16005, where they would have been used in recipes and in remedies. if you couldn't sleep, some still use lavender today. interestingly, the leaves were used way back then for making biscuits. now, we still use that recipe here today, but the difference is, in the mid 16005, they would have used lard, today we use butter instead. talking of food, we will be in the kitchen garden later on this morning, having a look at that. and that is amazing. the weather is not so amazing here in richmond, you can see it is cloudy, it is also wet. this will clear and the forecast for us all more or less is going to be dry with sunny spells. but there will be one or two showers in the west, and we still have some fog to lift around this grand band in the south—eastern quadrant of the uk and also north—west england, wales and southern scotland. when it lifts we will see the sunshine as this band of rain edges off towards the north sea comically in east anglia last. we could catch the chow today across north—west holland and northern ireland, that is really going be at. and a temperature range, 12 in the north to a high of 19 in the south. later this afternoon the cloud will build across northern ireland, the reasonable depression, heralding the arrival of a weather fronted evening and overnight that weather front is going to drift in from the west, bring rain to northern ireland, and parts of mainland britain in the west with gusty winds across the irish sea, up to 40 miles an hour. as we go further east, clear and cooler, than the west. tomorrow, the band of rain continues its journey moving from the west to the east, heavy rain in it. on the other side of it for northern ireland, western scotla nd of it for northern ireland, western scotland and wales in the south—west, they will see sunshine and showers. winds are still a feature in the irish sea but through the day strongest winds transferring into the english channel. temperatures in the mid—to—high teens. dan and louise, i have an umbrella ready but i didn't want to put it up and swell the view for you. where has that doggone from an hour ago? she has done a bunk. i will find her again. -- where has that dog gone? it is all about the trees. i have got some at the ready. bribery! it's 25 years today since the sony playstation launched in europe. teenagers across the nation fell in love with it, making it britain's best—selling games console. but some parents and children's charities think it's played too big a part in teenagers' lives. i remember when we got one in our house, it was a very exciting day. nina is taking a look. yes! can you remember 1995? what were you doing? i was at school. yes, a gcse year, for me, a big year. louise?” can't remember! not specifically? let mejog your can't remember! not specifically? let me jog your memory, can't remember! not specifically? let mejog your memory, shall i? not everybody can think back in detail. it's hard to, but think back to 1995. the year of that big television interview with princess diana. blur was taking on 0asis in the charts and a new games console hit europe from japan. playstation was launced by sony after a collaboration with nintendo collapsed. it was the first console to sell more than 100 million units — and now, whether you like it or not it's a firm part of british cultural life. games consoles, pumping extra adrenaline three uk households since the 19705. but one brand has come to dominate that sacred space under the telly. launched in 1995, the original sony playstation and its three successes have sold almost half a billion units worldwide. the playstation 4 is the uk's most popular ever, part of life in a quarter of homes. i'd like to talk to you about a minister threatening humanity. it's happening right here in ourvery humanity. it's happening right here in our very homes, and crop in the lives of our loved ones. yes, friends, i'm talking about this. this audacious ad gave a wry and knowing nods to the moral panic it brought with it. some critics suggested its games promote violence. 0thers suggested its games promote violence. others say it doesn't do enough to protect against so—called loot boxes, where players spend real money for digital goodies. but it has also been a key part of digital learning for millions, and for some kids, a much—needed conduit of communication over lockdown. and gaming's economic impact is as big as its cultural one. the industry employs more than 40,000 people and the market was mirth —— was worth more than £5 billion last year alone. strap yourselves in for the next console war. this autumn sees the release of the ps5, versus microsoft's the release of the ps5, versus m icrosoft‘s latest the release of the ps5, versus microsoft's latest xbox. also look out for nintendo, google and amazon. they arejoining the out for nintendo, google and amazon. they are joining the game. out for nintendo, google and amazon. they arejoining the game. happy birthday, playstation, the console which changed entertainment for millions. now gaming is here to stay. it sure is. some people salivating at that image of the ps5. talk to louise b;lin, a gaming and technology journalist. talk to louise b;lin, a gaming and technologyjournalist. —— talk to louise b;lin, a gaming and technology journalist. —— blain. talk to louise b;lin, a gaming and technologyjournalist. —— blain. i remember the days of the snes versus the master system, sonic vs mario. what was it about the playstation things forward? well, we had been so used to sonic vs mario, we had been watching the side scholars and jumping boxes forever. the playstation brought in 3d graphics, so suddenly the worlds we were entering were huge, expansive, and we have never seen entering were huge, expansive, and we have never seen anything like it before. so suddenly we were on new adventures, plane crash bandicoot and tomb raider and metal gear solid, or we were racing in wipeout, we we re solid, or we were racing in wipeout, we were seeing worlds we had never seen we were seeing worlds we had never seen before. i never thought about that, it was the first time you could go forward and backwards rather than side to side. when you think about the games it is not without controversy, things like vice system, the name says it all, grand theft auto, that was about stealing cars. —— vice city. you can understand the parental concern about the behaviour it encourages. it is really important, the fact that gamers are of all ages. there are certifications for a reason. i think as long as young people are not playing the games that are not meant for them, that is a really important thing. games are for all ages. they are for adults, their aduu ages. they are for adults, their adult experiences, lots of is for everybody to play. i think it is really important that people play what they are meant to play. ok, quite difficult to keep an eye on that, though, and to keep kids off it for the length of time you would like to. and also the pricetag, we are looking ahead to the ps5, about £320, is that what it for a family budget? the interesting thing with the p55 budget? the interesting thing with the ps5 especially, you have got a digital edition, that is looking at £359, i think, digital edition, that is looking at £359, ithink, and digital edition, that is looking at £359, i think, and then you have got the full addition, £459. this is the first time we have had a new console in six or seven years. the ps4 pro was an iterative upgrade, this is a huge upgrade, it has a ssd, so loading will be faster, you don't need to go and make a cup of tea when you had a loading button. it will load instantly. so while it is expensive, this is the first time in a long time that people will be buying a new console, and honestly there is the choice of whether you wa nt to there is the choice of whether you want to go xbox as well, xbox different pricing model. the market is open for different budgets, really. thank you very much, louise. iam sure really. thank you very much, louise. i am sure it will be tricky turning that off on christmas day across millions of households in the country. interestingly, we talked about how much it is worth to the uk economy, gaming, there is a real skill shortage there. i've spoken to loads of businesses who work in gaming development and they say they have these jobs which are paid a lot of money but have nobody to fill them, so it is almost like education, the authorities need to catch up and recognise how big this market is. 80—year—old paul harvey who lives with dementia became an internet sensation for his amazing piano skills when he composed a piece of music spontaneously after his son gave him just four notes. now the bbc philharmonic 0rchestra will record a version of his composition. let's take a look at the performance that went viral. be natural. there are your four notes. hums to self. be natural. there are your four notes. hums t0 self. plays piano. plays piano. that is quite a talent, isn't it? let's speak to paulfrom his home in sussex and his son nick. we're also joined by simon webb who's the director of the bbc philharmonic orchestra. simon, lovely to have you with us on the programme. great to speak to you all. next, ican the programme. great to speak to you all. next, i can see you are alongside your dad there. it is an amazing talent to have. has he a lwa ys amazing talent to have. has he always done this is a party to, four notes and then he comes up the composition? the first time i remember it i was probably about eight or nine years old and dad was teaching at a summer school, and he said to the assembled students, the only four random notes. you, a flat, u, c, et cetera. and then on the spot, he composed this remarkable piece of music. and the audience erupted and i felt so proud to be his son at that moment in time, as i do now, after the improvisation that he created two weeks ago. i can't believe what has happened. he created two weeks ago. i can't believe what has happenedm he created two weeks ago. i can't believe what has happened. it is quite phenomenal. can you believe a video of your dad playing the piano as brilliantly as he does, has got such a huge audience? well, to be honest, i have always known that dad deserves a huge audience. he is the most talented musician i know. the fa ct most talented musician i know. the fact that his music is resonating with so many people around the world, it is much deserved. he has become something of a phenomenon, and not before time. paul, hopefully you can hear us as well. what is it that you love about composing on the spot, something, as your son says, that you have done for so many yea rs ? that you have done for so many years? oh, it throws back, it gives me some ideas, you know, on the spur of the moment. i find me some ideas, you know, on the spur of the moment. ifind musical despair of the moment to be exciting. —— music on the spur of the moment. and that is all i can say, really. i want the moment. and that is all i can say, really. iwant to the moment. and that is all i can say, really. i want to speak to simon webb as well, the director of the bbc philemon orchestra. tell us what you are going to do with this music, you're going to do something special, aren't you? good morning. yes, well, throughout the last few months of lockdown, and to now, we have been creating content across different networks on the bbc would hold musicians recording remotely, and although we are now back in the studio, some of the time, we carry on doing that work and what we are going to do is one of our bass players, downwardly, is a really talented orchestrator, and he is creating an orchestral track around paul's improvisation. and actually, we're going to include paul's playing it up. so he will become pa rt of playing it up. so he will become part of the bbc philharmonic, and we will create a full orchestral version of paul's music, which will be paid out on patty o'connell's broadcasting house. —— played out. obviously nick and paul are very impressive, and nick is very proud of his dad for disability. how rare is it, to be able to do that, to hear a few notes and come up with a composition? —— ‘s dad for this ability. i have to say i think paul's talent is remarkable. music isa paul's talent is remarkable. music is a creative art form and every musician has some form of creativity in them, but a lot of the time, especially in western classical music, we are really devoted to playing the dots on the page, and something we really try to encourage, particularly in our education programmes and working in the community, is that creativity of music. it is something we all have in us and it is something that maybe we don't celebrate enough. and it is something which, more than anything else, stays with us. if you can play music at all, or seen, of course you canjust do music at all, or seen, of course you can just do your own thing, i music at all, or seen, of course you canjust do your own thing, i think what paul does is remarkable, and really rather wonderful. it is something we should encourage all musicians to do, especially young people, learning an instrument, just to play and to free your own sense of musical creativity, but i have to say, paul's talent is particularly remarkable. and he is getting that message out lots of other people. paul, can i ask you, have you always been able to do this, compose on the spot? yes, i have. i have been able to do it. and, yeah, i enjoy doing that because it is musicmaking on the hoof, as you might say, you know? and that is how it is. and paul, from your perspective, it is likely to see you and nick listening into what simon was saying about how they were putting this together. —— are they were putting this together. —— a re lovely. they were putting this together. —— are lovely. what will it be like to hear a full orchestra playing your tune? awesome! awesome. unbelievable. you must be really proud. i am so proud of him. we are hoping that after it has been broadcast on patty o'connell's show, to release it as a charity record, raising money for dementia charities. so, if that comes to pass,it charities. so, if that comes to pass, it would be amazing. every proceed from streaming, downloading, buying, broadcast, that will go to dementia charities, and i think it could do quite well, purely because it isa could do quite well, purely because it is a beautiful, beautiful piece of music. and i'm sure with the orchestral backing it will rock. that is awesome, it is going to rock. just explain to us, nick, why thatis rock. just explain to us, nick, why that is particularly close to all of your hearts, that you want to raise this money? well, dad was diagnosed with dementia at the beginning of last year, and he has good days and bad days, but the power of music in his life is a force to be reckoned with. when i filmed the clip, he was having a particularly bad day, and what i tend to do, he has helpers and carers coming in a few times a day as well, what they would like to do if that is having a bad day is to sit at the piano and to play. he was struggling a bit two weeks ago when ifilmed it, his foot struggling a bit two weeks ago when i filmed it, his foot was slipping all over the pedal and he was trying to play classical music and it wasn't quite happening for him, but then i remembered that party trick and he created a beautiful piece of music. not only musically, is it stunning, but it also seems to have some resonance with his situation, there was a sadness but also hope. this beautiful on resolving cord, a questioning chord, i urge you to listen to the whole thing, it is beautiful. i am sure many of our viewers will do that. but actually, we will ask your dad, hopefully todayis we will ask your dad, hopefully today is a good day, so we're going today is a good day, so we're going to say thank you to simon and all the best with putting it together, and to nick and paul as well. next, paul, can you tell us, what is paul going to play for us, and we will try to give you a bit of time to play it to our viewers this morning? what are you playing, dad? i'm going to play one of my own compositions, i've been working hard at it for the la st two i've been working hard at it for the last two or three weeks, and yeah, i'm quite pleased with it. i will be very pleased to hear what you think of it. i will play it now. plays piano. he plays a tender melody. studio: thank you so much. that is wonderful. i don't know if you can see it but i will give you a round of applause. that was brilliant. paul harvey and his son nick, and thank you to the bbc philharmonic. people in the studio are in tears, and people at home. stay with us, the headlines coming up in 80 minutes. —— a few minutes. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. i hope you have recovered from that! 0ur headlines today: the number of people who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic around the world reaches one million. a free college course for all adults in england without an a—level qualification — the prime minister announces plans in a bid to boostjob prospects. i'm at league two club tranmere rovers, who face an uncertain future due to the pause on fans returning to stadiums. just like many lower league clubs. now leading figures in football have written to the government, asking for help. and sir david attenborough takes questions from the children he says "hold the hope for the future in their hands". good morning, iamjoined by good morning, iam joined byjealous andi good morning, iam joined byjealous and i am leading you into the kitchen garden in all its magnificence. the rain has brought out the spell of some of those hurts, we will be taking a closer look in about 12 minutes. the rain had cleared london, it will slowly push eastwards and it will be dry and sunny for many others. —— of us. it's tuesday, 29th september. our top story. more than one million people have now died from covid—19, marking a grim milestone in the spread of the virus. that's according to the tally kept byjohns hopkins university in the united states. america, brazil and india account for nearly half of the total. the uk has recorded more than 42,000 deaths making it the fifth most affected in the world. john mcmanus reports. it's been less than a year since the first cases of what became known as covid—19 were first identified in wuhan in china. the entire city was put into lockdown, and the pictures of the measures adopted by the authorities to halt the virus's spread flew around the world. now the number of deaths globally has hit! million, the number of confirmed infections is more than 33 million. the worst—hit country, the united states, followed by brazil and india. with more than 42,000 deaths, the uk is the fifth—most affected country, though each government calculates its figures differently. this is a sombre moment, when we realise notjust the scale of the tragedy, but the number of personal tragedies that are accompanying that number. it's — for everyone who's died, they've left a family, they've left a loved one, they've possibly destroyed people's... i mean, people have lost their livelihoods as a result. so, the scale of the tragedy is even bigger than that staggering number. and as transmission rates continue to rise in some parts of the uk, there's been a further tightening of restrictions in parts of the north—east of england: in durham, gateshead, newcastle, north and south tyneside, northumberland and sunderland. households in those areas had already been advised not to mix, but from midnight tonight any meeting between different households in any indoor setting, such as pubs and restaurants, will be against the law. the ban will be enforced by fines, £200 for a first offence, the amount doubled for a second offence, and then rising for each subsequent infringement. the government says the measures are needed as there are now over 100 covid—19 cases per 100,000 people in the region. and it says many of the public are being infected in indoor settings outside the home. but the announcement appears to have come as a surprise to local council leaders. the problem we have got is notjust that the secretary of state has made an announcement without any understanding of the impact on affected businesses and the potential for affected businesses and the potentialforjob affected businesses and the potential for job losses, affected businesses and the potentialforjob losses, but affected businesses and the potential forjob losses, but by doing so and during it in a very knee jerk way it means we do not have the right communication m essa g es have the right communication messages in place locally, and confusion and chaos spreads as a result. with the infection rates rising in other regions, including merseyside and london, whitehall will be watching closely to see if these new restrictions succeed in dampening down transmission rates. john mcmanus, bbc news. conservative mps demanding a vote in parliament over coronavirus lockdown restrictions before they come into force say they're hopeful an agreement can be reached with the government. some mps were invited to meet the health secretary and the chief whip yesterday. from tomorrow large parts of north—east england face a legal ban on people mixing with other households anywhere indoors, such as pubs and restaurants. adults in england without an a—level or equivalent qualification will be offered a free college course to boost theirjob prospects amid the pandemic. the prime minister will outline the scheme in a speech later. let's speak now with our political correspondent helen catt. helen, how will this work? we will get the detail of which courses will be available next month, and it will be up to colleges themselves as to when they start, but it does not has pledged funding in place by next april to allow any aduu in place by next april to allow any adult whojust not in place by next april to allow any adult who just not already have an a level equivalent qualification to ta ke level equivalent qualification to take one of these free college courses, the idea being to try to change the skills system if you like away from looking at things as being in one block to moreover in your lifetime, so they will be building more flexibility into apprenticeships and loans for higher education too. the government had a lwa ys education too. the government had always been looking at doing this, the skill system, but the coronavirus pandemic has made it so much more urgent, those very bleak unemployment projections, so in his speech the prime minister is expected to say they cannot save everyjob expected to say they cannot save every job that they expected to say they cannot save everyjob that they can give people the skills to find and create new and betterjobs. the skills to find and create new and better jobs. labour the skills to find and create new and betterjobs. labour has questioned whether this kynard enough to do that, it said it had called for a national retraining strategy and what the government proposes is simply a mix of reheated old policies and funding that will not be available until april. you, helen. the nhs in england is dealing with a surge of coronavirus cases, while tackling a "huge backlog" of people needing care, according to a report. the nhs confederation, which represents trusts and other health care providers are warning that it could be difficult to deliver safe and effective services with the current level of funding and exhausted staff. the department of health says it has already announced extra funding for the nhs and will continue to provide the support it needs. donald trump and joe biden go head to head later in the first us presidential debate. it's taking place in cleveland, ohio, and comes with the president on the back foot after revelations in the new york times about his business losses and tax avoidance. 0ur washington correspondent, gary o'donoghe reports. the stage is almost set, the actors soon to be in place and america about to get its first head—to—head show in this battle for the white house. the president has reportedly done little formal preparation, instead questioning his opponent's mental capacity, repeatedly calling him ‘sleepyjoe', and going further. ijoke that he is no winston churchill in debating but he was fine. and people say he was on performance enhancing drugs. and the former vice president's reaction to that. laughs. he's almost — no, i have no comment. so some people might think the stakes are higher for trump because he's behind in the polls. i think that the way he makes up ground, however, is by biden looking bad. so, in that sense, biden's performance is more important than trump's performance. unlike previous debates, the two contenders will not have a big audience to feed off — as few as 60 people are expected to be in the hall itself. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, cleveland, ohio. we'll have reaction to that on brea kfast we'll have reaction to that on breakfast tomorrow. three people have died in wildfires in northern california, where firefighters are battling flames that have quadrupled in size in a day. thousands have fled their homes and these shocking images showing firefighters on the front line and the dramatic landscape as it burns were taken by photographer kent porter, who is with us now. thank you so much for being with us on bbc breakfast this morning. tell usa on bbc breakfast this morning. tell us a little about the things you had seen, us a little about the things you had seen, you are us a little about the things you had seen, you are based in sonoma county, so what has been happening? thank you for having me on, i appreciate it. today was kind of quiet, it was nice, the smoke came in and calmed the wind down a little bit so we did not have as much destruction as earlier in the morning, earlier in the day and on sunday, it comes down quite a bit but it is still out there. listening to people who had seen and witnessed many fires over the years, they are talking about these series of fires being slightly different, does it feel worse than what you had seen in the past? earlierl feel worse than what you had seen in the past? earlier i talk to a programme on bbc and said these fires since 2015 have progressively got worse, this year, they have been really bad. it just got worse, this year, they have been really bad. itjust seems like they get worse every year. i grew up every furlough in the area and i see the changes, they are definitely more intense than they used to be —— i grew more intense than they used to be —— igrew up more intense than they used to be —— i grew up in the area and i see the changes. we are seeing quite 80 pictures you have taken of front line workers trying to tackle these fires —— quite a few pictures. what do you see on the front line? i imagine the heat is unbearable? last night, as the fire impacted a place in santa rosa, they set on top of a ridge so lots of heat up and its courts very quickly but the fire came down so quickly, there was not a whole but the firefighters could have to to say that many structures. dated a really good job in sating the structures. one side of the black ferns, a very intense fire, there are times when three or four homes were on fire at the same time, it was so dark you could not see the structures burning, it was so low to the ground. give us an idea of how the ground. give us an idea of how the community is coming together? we're so used to this now, since 2017 in sonoma we have had some really difficult fires, every year we have a big fire, sometimes two, we have a big fire, sometimes two, we have a big fire, sometimes two, we have lots of resilience, i am very proud to belong to this community because we pull together, even during covid, we make it work, it is amazing. it is lovely to see... lovely is not the right word, it is great that you can talk us through some of your dramatic photography, kent porter, speaking to us live from california. carol has the weather for us this morning from the gardens of a 17th century home on the banks of the river thames. more garden envy! good morning, everybody. this is the kitchen garden of this national trust property, han house and gardens. if you wanted to impress your dinner gusts he would present them with a grand salad full of the flowers you have grown in your garden which are edible, there are 30 varieties here. this is a nasturtium, you can petal, the leeds and the seeds. when it started diageo that the bulbous seed, you can pickle that, and when it is pickled it is called the poor man's caper. if you are planning on eating any filers, check first, some varieties are poisonous. they have had a drink, we have had rain in richmond, it will take its time to completely left but when it does most aboutwell have a dry and sunny day. we have felt to lift under the south—east quarter with the cloud and the rain, it is quite murky, fog across north—west england, wales and southern scotland will slowly lift to the morning, most of us enjoying a fine day, one of two showers peppering north—west scotla nd of two showers peppering north—west scotland and northern ireland, cloud and patchy drizzle service to clear east anglia. temperatures ranging from 12 in the north to 19 in the south. this evening and overnight there will be clear skies further east, rain coming in across northern ireland by the end of the night, affecting western parts of mainland britain and gusty winds to the irish sea. temperatures will be a little bit higher in the west overnight than in the east. tomorrow, that rain in the west advances eastwards and some of the rain will be happy. behind it, a return to sunshine and showers, wind gusting 40 mph or so to the irish sea, transferring into the english channel to the cause of the english channel to the cause of the afternoon with temperatures into the afternoon with temperatures into the mid to high teens once again. after that, temperatures start tumbling and it becomes more u nsettled, tumbling and it becomes more unsettled, more in about half an hour. thank you for the flowers, carol. they are gorgeous as well. we will be back with you in about half an hour. for most young people, heading to university is a chance to experience living independently and explore a new city for the first time. but, the reality for the class of 2020, is rather different. with more institutions teaching exclusively online, and thousands of students self—isolating after coronavirus outbreaks, there have been questions over whether refunds should be offered on some tuition and accommodation costs. let's take a look at what freshers life looks like for one student at manchester metropolitan university, where 1,700 young people are currently in isolation. this is our flat. that's all eight of the rooms. hi, my name's natasha, i'm a business fashion student at manchester met university. and this is my life during these two weeks in isolation. this is my room. this is where i'm going to be spending the next two weeks. this is where i do all my online lectures and everything. and i've got some pictures here which is making me feel a lot better about being kind of locked—in, i've got my rabbit and then i've got my best friend as well. 0k, ijust wanted to show you ourfridge. it's kind of empty now, we didn't know we was going to go under lockdown. this is my last meal, chicken and rice, until i get some food. got some water... missing you, baby. missing you too. i can't see you for two weeks. are you eating well? yeah. vegetables? well... i ran out of food yesterday, but obviously we'lljust give each other food if it comes down to it. love you. bye. bye, miss you. miss you too. we're joined now by two university students. keron day is a first year at the university of exeter, and art doherty is in his second year at the university of goldsmiths. thank you to both of you. is this right, you have made the difficult decision of returning home after a few weeks of university, so tell us why you made that choice? due to my disability, i have to be extra cautious around covid. so i took the decision on saturday night to remove myself from university, to come somewhere safe outside the university campus. it is the safest thing for myself. you have cerebral palsy, that has to be so disappointing, how do you feel having to go home? initially, i was quite like... i thought i had let myself down and taken an easy decision out. but afterwards, i am pleased i did what i did, because it means i am safe and coronavirus can, kind of, and avoid me, hopefully. thank you for talking to us, keron. art, you are studying music, give us an idea of what you expected the course to be like and what it has been like? it is quite a unique problem with the vocational course, because obviously you are expecting it to be getting experience, i was hoping i was able to go to a studio because i am a music producer and i spent a lot of my first year doing that. but now it is not practical at all. despite that, i am still paying full fees and i have had to come to the city because we, it seems as though we were going to be doing our teaching at one point and the university wanted us to come back and now it is delivered as a bare—bones and now it is delivered as a bare— bones type of and now it is delivered as a bare—bones type of course, which it is almost entirely online with maybe a couple of hours in the term in person. that is quite difficult. it isa very person. that is quite difficult. it is a very strange time to be a student, especially a musician which isa student, especially a musician which is a sector which has been hit very ha rd by is a sector which has been hit very hard by this in the creative industries. i feel very much for both of you. arts, this has financial implications for you, how difficult are things? it is not easy. it is quite hard. i'm lucky in the sense i'm able to get a higher student loan because i am in london. i cannot find a job anywhere, because obviously there is the unique double bind a situation of both the pandemic and the recession at the same time. that being said, it is difficult for me but i am not in the worst position, i have got friends who are living hand to mouth and cannot find jobs. thinking they might have to go home. i really see that as being a difficult situation. it is not so much that, it is in terms of money, the stress it is causing in terms of what is affecting mental health. that is one of the things that is really up there. keron, the first time you have moved out of home to go to university a few weeks ago, i manage and it was a big dealfor you and yourfamily. are and it was a big dealfor you and your family. are you and it was a big dealfor you and yourfamily. are you going to get the chance to go back for some tutorials, or will you stay at home now? i hope so. the university have been very good and have helped me a lot. they have been very proactive in their communications with me. i hope to get back as soon as possible, i didn't want to leave and i want to come back as soon as possible. hopefully, once it blows overi possible. hopefully, once it blows over i can get back when i can. best of luck to you both and thank you for joining of luck to you both and thank you forjoining us. both are very different perspectives. thank you. i wa nted different perspectives. thank you. i wanted to find out about your rights. there have been calls for universities to reimberse students, but what rights to do they have? we can talk now to consumer affairs expert kate hardcastle. good morning. we talked about the financials and students pay a lot of money to go to university. if courses go online, for example, rather than face—to—face, do they have rights? they do, it is a case that universities are asking many stu d e nts to that universities are asking many students to do the right thing and it isa students to do the right thing and it is a case universities need to do the right thing by their students. we know the pandemic has caused com plete we know the pandemic has caused complete change to the way we live our lives and of course, that is going to affect universities and the way they teach. what we are hearing, some courses have been moved online but that means students have moved, willingly, ready to start their university year expecting some face—to—face interaction and if all the courses are online, did they need to face of the costs in terms of their accommodation. when you are looking into your rights as a consumer, because when you pay fees you are a consumer of those university courses, there is some leeway for universities to evolve how they deliver the cause. it is down to whether the quality of the product is the same. if you are a student and you are unhappy, go to the university, talk to them and understand what might be coming down the line, how they might be engaging with you going forward in the course to see if you are happy and to see if you can negotiate and work together on something that feels better, past the initial stages of the significant lockdown period we are in. briefly, do you have rights, for example, you have gone to a flat and you want to move out, do you have rights there, very briefly? you are under the same rights as anyone who is in an accommodation situation, it is down to the some of the accommodation is owned by the university so there might be some flexibility. but do not stop paying, speak to your landlord and see if there is any flexibility if you want to move home or change the contract you have got. kate hardcastle, thank you have got. kate hardcastle, thank you very much. if you were watching yesterday you will have seen our exclusive interview with sir david attenborough when he told us that his hopes for the future lie in the hands of children. so we thought we would find out what burning questions little attenborough fans would put to the man himself? let's take a look. i could hi, david. i would like to know what's your favourite places, and how they've changed? my favourite place was a woodland in the middle of england, in lincolnshire. and it had rocks around it which were full of fossils. wonderfulthings, shells, some of them big ones. and sometimes you could hit a rock — sometimes they were sitting out there and you just turned over the rock and there it was. and it was — you were the first person ever to see that. and it hadn't seen the sun for maybe 150 million years. think about that! hi, my name's elliott and i am six years old and i have a question. what is your favourite dinosaur? well, elliott, there was a huge animal that flew over the dinosaurs, as big as a small aeroplane, called quetzalcoatlus. and it had huge wings, just as big as an aeroplane. and it was the biggest animal that ever flew, and none of us could work out how it got off the ground, because how do you beat the wings? it's a mystery. hello, david. my name is anais and i'm three years old. what's your favourite animal? i don't really have a favourite animal, to be truthful. but there is a fish i am very fond of called — um, what's it called now? it's called the weedy sea dragon, and it lives in the seas off south australia and its fins look exactly like bits of seaweed. hi, my name is harry and i'm 11 years old and i want to work in zoology, but with the current climate crisis, i would like to know if there will be any animals left in the world to study. there will certainly be enough animals individually. there won't be as many different animals as we have now. i can be pretty sure of that. but we need to study them, we need to know all we can about them in order to protect them and help them, so i hope you do go to university and you do study zoology and you do help in the struggle to care for nature. i am william and i'm four years old. who do you think would win out of a lion, hippopotamus and a rhino? well, it would depend whether they were in the river or not, wouldn't they? if they were in the river it would be the hippopotamus. if they were on land, i think it would be the lion. but i'm not sure, actually, because a hippopotamus is very big, you know, it weighs much more than a lion. so if it rolled over, and it got the wild lion underneath it, the lion wouldn't like that very much. hi, david. my name is called evie, and i'm four years old. what's the biggest spider ever in the whole wide world? and my mummy doesn't like spiders. well, i can see why your mummy doesn't like spiders, though there are none in this country that bite you. there's one, certainly in south america, which is as big as your hand, really. and very hairy legs. and you don't want to mess with that, because that one does have a nasty bite. if you miss that interview on brea kfast yesterday if you miss that interview on breakfast yesterday with david attenborough, you can catch up on that on the bbc iplayer as well. i know lots of you have watched it as well. plenty more to come, including jetpack paramedics. but time for the news, travel and weather where you are watching. good morning, i'm alice salfield. a woman in her 805 has suffered potentially life—threatening injuries during a collision involving a bus at oxford circus. police were called around 3:30 yesterday afternoon and london air ambulance was also at the scene. both sides of regent street were closed. the scheme which allowed soho roads to be temporarily pedestrianised because of the coronavirus pandemic is to be extended until the end of october. it means restaurants, bars and cafes can keep tables outside, allowing them to serve more customers. there are calls for ealing council bosses to resign over the introduction of a controversial traffic calming scheme. the temporary road blocks and diversions have been criticised for creating chaos and delaying emergency services. the leader of the opposition accused the council of "incompetence" after it didn't consult the london ambulance service on its plans. the council has apologised. during the pandemic 320 rough sleepers were housed in hotels in newham, effectively ending homelessness in the borough. but there's growing concern over what will happen when government funds to pay for this come to an end. i'm worried that once this pandemic finance runs out, where are all these people in hotels going to go? there's going to be a new influx of homeless, drug addiction, crime, violence, if we don't put something in place now. chiswick flower market, which saw thousands of people attend its first ever event this month, has been cancelled because of coronavirus fears. organisers — who had ambitions to rival columbia road flower market, took the decision to cancel the october one, after london was put on the government's national covid—19 watchlist. but the royal opera house will be re—opening its doors to live audiences from next month. the covent garden venue has announced its autumn programme, which will also be available to watch online. let's take a look at the travel situation now. right time for your weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a really mild start out there this morning. we do have quite a bit of cloud, one or two spots of light rain and drizzle, and it's quite misty in one or two spots as well. this is a cold front which will gradually start to move away east through the course of the morning. we'll get some brighter spells, some sunnier spells, as we head into the afternoon. the wind is light today and temperatures are likely to reach between 16 and 19 celsius, at least towards the west of london. so feeling quite warm in the sunshine later. 0vernight tonight, a bit of patchy cloud, some clear spells as well. it looks like it'll stay dry again. might get one or two mist patches, but the wind will start to lift as we head into the early hours. temperatures between nine and 11. tomorrow, that wind will start to strengthen and we'll get some sunshine in the morning, but then rain as we head through wednesday afternoon. it turns progressively more unsettled as we head towards the end of the week. i'll be back at 9am. but there's plenty more on our instagram and facebook — including some londoners' experiences of the pandemic — all captured from a bench on clapham common. back to louise and dan. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. we are expecting something really special now, fingers crossed. paramedics are used to travelling by ambulance, motorbike and helicopter to deliver emergency care, but soon they could be taking to the skies in futuristic jet packs. it's hoped the suits will drastically reduce the response time to patients in otherwise hard to reach areas, as sharon barbour reports. it was one man's dream to fly, and an emergency service's desperation to reach critically ill patients much quicker, which has led to this. a test flight for the great north air ambulance service which they hope will lead to them launching the world's first jet suit paramedic. you know, we're not talking about big distances. but we're talking about steep gradients, and that's the difference. you know, personal experience of carrying medical kit up the side of a mountain in the lakes to get to someone having a heart attack is, it's so difficult. you know, we're fairly confident that with a rapid response car and a jet suit, we're going to really reduce response times in the area. this is obviously a real seachange in potentially how we can deliver remote medicine. the jetpack can fly for around five minutes, but this flight in the langdale pikes tookjust 90 seconds to reach the location, a journey that would have taken around 25 minutes on foot. if somebody had a cardiac arrest on the top of helvellyn, and we were able to deploy thejet suit, i'm confident we would have a defib on that patient within eight minutes. and right now, how long would it take? right now, our aircraft would probably be the first on scene, obviously, and that might take maybe 20—25 minutes. richard browning was wearing the jet suit he invented to show the ambulance service how it worked. so, the jet suits, in fact you've got a couple sitting behind here, they work by using microjet engines. so pretty much the same things that you have on a jet aircraft, a jetliner. there's two on each arm, one on the back, and the way that they then blow so much air downwards allows you to lift off the ground. and then all the manoeuvrability is down to you using your own natural human balance and co—ordination. if you point them increasingly downwards, you go up. and as you flare them out, you come down again. nobody in the world would expect that as an air ambulance we could get to someone in a jet suit in a matter of minutes and get them some pain relief or ultimately, in the worst cases, save their life. and that it's safe. but how safe is it? it is very safe. we only go to a height where, if you still fell, you would be able to recover. it wouldn't be a terrible injury. the great north air ambulance service is now in talks to make modifications to the jet suit, with the hope of sending a paramedic up to reach their first patients by next summer. sharon barbour, bbc news. i can't stop looking at those pictures. it is actually fascinating. look at this! 0h, pictures. it is actually fascinating. look at this! oh, there is three of them! we will be speaking to the inventor, richard, enablement, but look at these pictures. they can do about 40 or 50 these pictures. they can do about 40 or50 mph at these pictures. they can do about 40 or 50 mph at top speed, richard was telling us and how hard or easy they are, depending on how good you are marriage controlling them. they can fly for around about six or seven minutes, the amazing thing, as we head in the film, they can do a run that would normally take you 25 minutes on foot in just 90 seconds. it is like something out of a film. like iron man coming to the rescue. i think this is richard browning, the inventor and founder. hello, are you richard? yes, hello! we have been absolutely mesmerised this morning by these packs and what they can potentially do. are they safe? you are clearly good at flying them, but are they safe? it is as safe as a motorbike. if you take it very easy with a motorbike, it is fine, you cannot take it easy and then it is not fine. this is what we do not fly terry hike, terrain hugging, pretty low, just to manage the risk. they can go very high. it is not that dangerous. give us an idea of how long you have been working on this and what is the next step? might we see people like yourself, once they are trained up, flying around and being paramedics in the likes? this journey started 308 years ago with a somewhat crazy idea of kilograms fly as a human being and a really new and unusual way, adding the minimum amount of equipment and fly like we all dream about sometimes when we are asleep. we have 100 events in 51 countries and trained 50 clients to fly these, but we have explored this great idea from the search and rescue community about whether we could float —— plug the gap between the echo and foot first response, and helicopters, and it looks like we have a role to play judging from the footage we shot. this could become gradually more present in different nations. paramedic andy mawson, who was behind the emergencyjet pack idea, joins us now as well. this seems like old technology now, andy. you have high hopes for these jet packs? yes, absolutely, thanks, very high hopes. the technology behind me, as you say, it's really advanced at craft, it still has a huge wealthy play in our area of operation but the use ofjet seats to get to the top of the south quickly, i think could increase our impact asa quickly, i think could increase our impact as a charity massively. —— the use of jet impact as a charity massively. —— the use ofjet suits. impact as a charity massively. —— the use of jet suits. richard, the helicopter behind andrew it's very expensive. how much does your suits cost, can you produce many of them and could it be scalable? we have only sold a couple of them, added like a formula 1 car, that was not the main aina originally, the two we sold were for some clients who would not let up on their desire to own one. we sold those for £340,000 because that represented the disruption to what we were doing otherwise. we can make them a fair bit cheaper than that but a lot cheaper than a helicopter and it is easier to learn to fly one, we train people in the maximum of a couple of days, believe it or not, some people pick it up in a morning. you can't ta ke pick it up in a morning. you can't take an enormous amount of kit with you, but would you have enough to have your life—saving equipment on your body, so to speak? and he expected to comment on this. —— andy it's better to comment on this. go for it? sorry about that. we are looking at potentially carrying around ten to 15 kilos of medical kit, which is quite expert —— michael quite extensive. 0ne kit, which is quite expert —— michael quite extensive. one of our rucksacks is a similar weight. a solar paramedic would respond with disabilities, emergency drugs, ways of gaining intravenous access and patient monitoring equipment. as richard said, it is really akin to the concept of a motorcycle paramedic except arriving by air. richard, at the end of this, if possible, we would like you to fly off for us, but before you do that, how hard is it to learn how to use? you will not believe me if i say this, we have had people learn it inside to ten minutes. usually it is a couple of days but some people pick it up almost effortlessly, like learning to ride a bike, it uses your natural sense of balance you employ to walk around and we had a great new training session at the goodwood estate where we have had lots of clients come, it is surprisingly easy if you come and have a go. that is the indication we needed, we will be down there at some stage! you have 45 second to get ready. it would be amazing to see this as a lecture tool in your armoury in the future, andy? —— and extra tool. you have hit the nail on the head, mountain incidents are very complex responses with a number of agencies and i would love to say a cage to the mountain rescue teams we operate alongside in the lake district, very much the owners of that terrain. this is an addition to the service that they offer and we offer with the aircraft, we see a number of patients we need to send a critical care team to immediately, but there was also a huge number of patients, especially at the school holidays, might have a lower level injuries like broken leg, broken arms, they do not require a helicopter but might wait an our fermented rescue, and we can help those patients. we are going to let richard tait off, i don't think he will be able to hear me. fire the triggers, richard! richard saying it isa triggers, richard! richard saying it is a bit like a motorbike, i assume he has throttle in his right hand left hand, powering up, apparently it takes about 40 seconds, we had given him plenty of time, hopefully we are not too far away from take—off. i don't think we have had a live jetpack and take—off. i don't think we have had a livejetpack and bbc take—off. i don't think we have had a live jetpack and bbc breakfast people! here we go! it is one of those moments where we hope it is successful. 0h, he is off. that is so cool. as he goes into the distance, you will cause quite tasty on the mountains with these, andy? —— cause quite a stir. on the mountains with these, andy? -- cause quite a stir. you will not arrive quietly, that is for sure! 0ne arrive quietly, that is for sure! one of the things that struck us from the footage was how safe and measured richard's flight was at the terrain, we are not sticking a rocket on our back and shooting off into space like a deflating balloon, it is really safe and measured but certainly quite noisy. andy, great to speak to you. richard, if you can hear us, thank you, stay safe! he has gone! saving the world! quite extraordinary, brilliant technology and hopefully put to good use in the future. with the uk government postponing the return of crowds to sporting events, the future of many football clubs is in doubt, particularly the lower leagues. sally's at tranmere rovers football club for us this morning to find out how they are coping. and looking at some of the broader issues, sally. sadly without a jetpack? how and i meant to follow flying human tracks and i going to try? i will try anyway, we have a lot to tell you about the prenton park, the home of tranmere rovers. many clubs like tranmere rovers in the lower leagues are under real pressure because they are not having the fans come through, paying tickets, planning through the turnstiles, it is so important for them to survive. a group of purple people have written to the government asking for help, and the premier league is due to meet today to talk about lots of things. we are not aware that helping lower league clu bs not aware that helping lower league clubs is on the agenda, but it is certainly something coming to the forefront, it is in all the newspapers and i'm joined by former fa chairman greg dyke, who signed the letter that has gone to the government. why did you write this and what is in it? i signed it because i think there is a real danger that smaller clubs in this country will be in really serious financial problems and some of them will go bust, in the not—too—distant of them will go bust, in the not—too—dista nt future if of them will go bust, in the not—too—distant future if there isn't some assistance. what type of assistance do these clubs need? and who should it be coming from? they need cash, there is an argument the premier league could help. but some of the premier league clubs, they will be so far behind on their budgets because they are not getting income either, they might be relu cta nt income either, they might be reluctant to help. in which case, the danger is it somehow falls between the government who say the premier league should play in the premier league should play in the premier league should play in the premier league say the government should pay and the clubs go bust in the meantime. so what exactly do you wa nt the meantime. so what exactly do you want the government to do? because as we talk about on this programme every day, lots of people asking for help from the government, what can they do? the importance of football clubs in many, many towns and cities in this country, is that they are pa rt of in this country, is that they are part of what bind society together. asa kid, part of what bind society together. as a kid, i learned the names of all the towns of this country through foot ball the towns of this country through football clubs. i think it would be a tragedy if a whole raft of them go bust. through no fault of their own. it is the government that has taken these decisions, probably rightly, but they have taken these decisions and it is one of those times when the government has got to help them out. and if the worst were to happen and we saw more clubs going bust, how difficult would it be for those clu bs to how difficult would it be for those clubs to be resurrected? of course, if they go bust they immediately go out of the football league, or whatever league they are in. they normally go right down and have to start all over again, so it would ta ke start all over again, so it would take a long time. we have seen it over the years, when others have had to claw their way back, but it is too difficult at the moment. it is just a very serious time for lower league clubs and it would be a tragedy if we lost them because of, asi tragedy if we lost them because of, as i say, through no fault of their own. i know you have written to all of the for sport, the letter is in the public domain, but have you heard anything back yet? not to my knowledge. but i am one of a number of signatures, so someone else may have done. greg dyke, former fa chairman, thank you very much indeed for your time to this morning. liverpool maintained their 100% start to the season with a 3—1 victory over arsenal. the champions had to come from a goal down at anfield with new signing diogojota sealing the win late on. in the day's other game. aston villa were three nil winners at fulham. jack grealish amongst the scorers. villa move up to fourth with the win. the misery continues for the brits at the french open. cameron norrie the latest to crash out in paris, he looked like he was in for a trouble—free evening as he went two sets to one ahead but his colombian opponent came back to win in five and make it into the second round. liam broady is also out, he was appearing in the main draw at roland garros for the first time, but went down in four sets. heather watson is the only brit remaining, she plays later today. there were also victories for rafael nadal and serena williams. amyjones helped england to another dominant win over the west indies in the fourth t20 as they won by 44 runs to go 4—0 up. jones made 55 from 37 balls, coupled with heather knight's 42, in what was england's most impressive performance with the bat so far, 19 fours and five sixes. the final match takes place on wednesday in derby. that is just about it from me from prenton park, tranmere rovers host scunthorpe on prenton park, tranmere rovers host scu nthorpe on saturday. prenton park, tranmere rovers host scunthorpe on saturday. before we went in the dressing room earlier, they wiped clean all the whiteboards in case we were spying, they did not trust us. just in case you get the formation for the weekend, sally. thank you very much. sally, you are well dressed for the weather, carol is out and about for us this morning and she is in this beautiful garden. it is raining there, carol? this is the kitchen garden, let's find out more about it by someone who knows, the head gardener. tell us about the kitchen garden? who knows, the head gardener. tell us about the kitchen garden7m who knows, the head gardener. tell us about the kitchen garden? it has been producing flowers since 1654. we tried to do it as much as possible, like rudd had been done then. you have edible flowers and cut flowers and edible flowers are supplied to your own cafe, but where else? at the moment we supplied the richmond food bank, which we have been doing for 23 weeks. each monday, a group of volunteers get ready and we take flowers and we send them to the food bank. talk us through some of the edible flowers? i thought we could try some coriander. everybody knows coriander for the leaves, but when it produces flowers, they look very pretty on a plate and they taste really, really strong of coriander. they really do. it tastes quite different from the coriander you might put in with your chicken? you will taste coriander for a while now. what else have you got? this is courgette flower, many people put it in cooking but you can cut up the leaf and eat it in a salad. chive flowers are another one, pick them apart and use the flower, not just the one, pick them apart and use the flower, notjust the green stalk in your cooking. ready, be very careful if you are thinking of eating flowers, some of them are poisonous so please do check is the message. thank you very much, it has been interesting. the weather, the forecast is a dry one and a sunny the weather, the forecast is a dry one and a sunny one. the weather, the forecast is a dry one and a sunny one. what we have is a lot of cloud in the south—eastern quadrant of the uk, murky conditions and light rain and drizzle. that moves away clearing the likes of east anglia and kent last. a lot of sunshine behind that lots of showers across north—west scotland and also northern ireland. temperatures today ranging from 12 in the north to about 19 as we push down towards the south. the fog this morning that we have got across north—west england, wales and southern scotland will ta ke wales and southern scotland will take awhile to live. as we head on through the afternoon, especially the latter part of the afternoon, the latter part of the afternoon, the cloud will thicken across northern ireland and the breeze will start to freshen. we have a weather front coming our way and through this evening and overnight it will bring rain across northern ireland and by the end of the night, across western parts of mainland scotland. gusty winds with this, particularly so through the irish sea and in the western isles with gusts of 40 miles an hour locally in excess of that. in the west, it will not be a particularly cold night but in the east it will be fresh. the rain moves east through the course of tomorrow, some of it will be heavy and behind it is sunshine and showers, gusty winds in the irish sea transferring into the english channel and temperatures again in the mid—to the high teens. and then, the mid—to the high teens. and then, the temperature goes down. it has been fabulous here this morning but i will be picking coriander out of my teeth for the next few days. carol, thank you very much, it has been wonderful. if you were gripped by the bbc drama dr foster you'll be excited to hear that a new spin off, written by the man behind the original series, starts tonight. life, tells the stories of four people living in a house, divided into four flats. we'll speak to two of the show‘s stars in a moment, do you want to set it up for us, it is called life, it sounds like something from david attenborough? it follows the lives of people who live in a large block, a large house divided into flats. he spends the series exploring the lives of people who live in the separate flats, it is to do with life, death, marriage, pregnancy is. it has got everything in there. and mike is mike bartlett, for those who follow dr foster. he is very successful in his writing, saira. let's come to you, you cannot tell us much about what the characters do, and it will basically be sacked from all tv in the future because you cannot give away any spoilers? yes, he has this ability of taking the audience in one direction and they're basically doing a 360 and taking them in a different direction. so many twists and turns, shocks and spoilers that we cannot reveal anything at all. so you have just got to watch it. sorry, your character is also called saira, does it make it easier or more difficult onset?” saira, does it make it easier or more difficult onset? i think it makes it easier for the crew because they only have one name to learn. but for me, i used to get a little bit, a little bit mixed up as to whether i was me or my character. it is one of those things when i got the audition, i thought this is meant to be, she is called saira. ageing, it is a long time coming, it was filmed pre—lockdown. when you watch it back, preparing for it to go out, it must feel like a different world now when you watch it? it does a bit. a couple of scenes take place in a club and you we re scenes take place in a club and you were watching these people dancing very closely together and they don't have masks on. it does seem like a different world. we all want to get back to it. you are right, i watch films now and i go, my goodness, they are very close! it is so strange, isn't it? how has lockdown been for you because we have learned a lot about our communities perhaps we didn't know about before? for me, like a lot of people i have gotten to know the people i live next door to know the people i live next door to really well. we have actually started talking to each other, passing each other in the street and ask how things are going. there is a neighbourhood connection where people are trying to buy groceries for people who cannot get out, and so on. in the last three months, i have talked to people i live next to more than i have in the last four yea rs. more than i have in the last four years. what about for you, saira, has it been the same. we have talked a lot about struggles for so many industries, but the theatre, making drama, has everything being put on hold for the last few months for you? it has, basically. ifound a pilotjust before you? it has, basically. ifound a pilot just before lockdown you? it has, basically. ifound a pilotjust before lockdown and you? it has, basically. ifound a pilot just before lockdown and the lockdown happens and it has been pretty quiet since then. but everything is starting up again now and the industry isjust getting used to filming with covid—19 safety procedures in place. i think that is the way forward for now. adrian, do you worry about the industry? we know some films, as you say, tv getting off the ground but theatre is particularly badly affected? theatre is particularly badly affected and i do worry that the amount of freelances that are struggling for help at the moment. it is the freelances that keep theatre—going and when theatres thrive, the audiences come. at the foot fall in all of those areas up and down the country mean the local shops get work, the taxi firms, restau ra nts. shops get work, the taxi firms, restaurants. it just shops get work, the taxi firms, restaurants. itjust goes on, on and on. without that initial spark to draw people into the town centres and the west end of london, the other industries are going to suffer. so yeah, i do worry. saira, just to come back to you, we can show a scene where the pair of you are in this new drama, life. but for those who watched dr foster, is it one of those plots where things get bunkers and there will be all sorts of twists and surprises? all i can say is about david and saira's characters, saira is like this impulsive energy ball that crashes into david's lie. he doesn't know how to take care. and i think the audience will think that saira and david will have an affair, but there is much, much more to the storyline than that. it is wonderful to speak to you both and i know you cannot give much more away, but the —— it has been wonderful to talk to both. life begins tonight on bbc one at 9pm and is also available on the bbc iplayer. you're watching bbc breakfast. hi, good morning, this is bbc news. the lights are not working properly today that we will get them fixed as soon as today that we will get them fixed as soon as possible. let me bring you the headlines. the number of people who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic around the world passes one million. the north—east of england faces even tougher coronavirus restrictions — households mixing inside will be against the law. if you are in the north—east, what do you think of the new laws? 2 million of you are affected, let me know if you take the measures are necessary or will work? —— if you think the measures. a free college course for all adults in england who don't have a levels — the prime minister announces plans to to try
