The premier leagues most prolific duo strike again. Son heung min and harry kane link up for the only goal of the game as tottenham claim victory at burnley. Shes got it. Yeah, baby, shes got it. Well hear from the ultimate 80s girl group about their career and why theyve been in a bananarama bubble since lockdown. Good morning from Hampton Court palace, which is hosting a ghost trail this week as halloween approaches. We have got some rain moving from the west towards the north east through the day, and behind that some blustery showers, and especially windy in the west and south. All the details in a few minutes. Its tuesday the 27th of october. Our top story. More than 50 conservative mps have written to the Prime Minister, calling for a clear road map out of tough coronavirus restrictions in the north of england. They say the pandemic is threatening the governments efforts to level up the country. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt has this report. The north of england has been particularly hard hit by coronavirus warrington, the latest Northern City to be put into the highest tier of restrictions. Nottingham will follow later this week. More than 50 conservative mps have now written to the Prime Minister calling for a clear road map for how to get out again. In their letter, they warn that coronavirus threatens to continue to increase the disparity between north and south. They say that their constituents have been some of the worst affected by covid, with many losing jobs and businesses. And they ask borisjohnson to reflect carefully on the conservatives promise to People Living in the north during the last election, with the levelling up agenda and to make the region central to the countrys economic recovery. They suggest one way of doing that would be to prioritise and speed up big projects like a major rail upgrade to connect northern cities. Many of the mps who signed the letter represent constituencies that were traditionally held by labour until last years election. A downing street spokesman said the government had stood then on a solemn promise that it would improve peoples lives and that, although the pandemic had meant 2020 was not the year we all hoped it would be, the governments ambitions for the country were unchanged. One of the mps who signed the letter said it wasnt about giving the government a tough time, but a row with leaders in Greater Manchester over restrictions did put Government Strategy for the north of england back in the spotlight. This letter is likely to put more scrutiny on how it plans to deliver on those ambitions in such changed circumstances. Helen catt, bbc news. 0ur Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake is in westminsterfor us. Good morning. This is being portrayed on some of the front pages this morning as a northern revolt. Is it worrying for the Prime Minister, do you think . It might well cause him a bit of concern. I think whatever the intention was behind this letter it is certainly being seen as something of a warning shot to the government, effectively. Putting the Prime Minister on notice. Almost a year since the last election, that he needs to start delivering on some of the promises that he and the conservative party made back then, because the Prime Minister knows, as these 50 or so mps know very well, that if the tories are to hang onto their hefty majority come the next election, four years away, which may seem a long time away, they need to ensure that they do not lose these seats in the north of england, Scottish Borders, north wales and elsewhere and those are the mps who have written to the Prime Minister here. So downing street saying it is absolutely committed to its levelling up agenda, but i think this reflects a nervousness and frustration amongst those mps that the government needs to start delivering on its promises. Good to talk to you, thank you very much at. We will be talking about it throughout the programme. 0vernight, warrington became the latest area of england to be put under the tightest coronavirus restrictions, affecting a further 200,000 people. 0ur reporter Mairead Smyth is there for us this morning, good morning. How are people there reacting to this . Well, its very important to say that this wasnt a shock, but what has happened is it has come two days earlier and that was at the request of leaders here, who could see that the rate of infection was increasing here in warrington. Its moved into tier 3. It is sandwiched between Liverpool City Region to the west, Greater Manchester to the east. Both of those areas in tier 3 restrictions, as well. This changes the way people can live their lives. For more than 200,000 people here in the warrington area, it means they cannot mix with anyone that is not in their support bubble or family indoors. That rule of six outdoors, in public parks, and thats a big impact on pubs. If you dont serve a substantial meal then you are not able to have people in your business, so it will have a massive impact here but really here this has been welcomed, i suppose, by the Council Leader who described this as necessa ry Council Leader who described this as necessary and proportionate. Thank you very much. Immunity to the coronavirus could only last a few months, according to new research. The team at Imperial College london found that levels of protective antibodies drop quite rapidly which could suggest an increased risk of re infection. More than 350,000 people in england have taken an Antibody Test as part of the study. With just one week to go until the us president ial election, judge Amy Coney Barrett has been sworn into the Supreme Court, after being nominated for the role by President Trump. Democrats have criticised the timing of the vote and argued that it should have been postponed until after the election. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, reports. Question occurs on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett. The vote was along party lines in a deeply divided senate. The ayes are 52. The nays are 48. The nomination of Amy Coney Barrett of indiana to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is confirmed. Confirming that conservative christian Amy Coney Barrett to a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the land. The process then moved swiftly to a prime time event at the white house. Described by President Trump as a towering intellect, Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in by the longest serving Supreme Courtjustice, clarence thomas. And i will well and faithfully discharge. Herfirstjob could be to decide the outcome of the president ial election, should the matter end up in the Supreme Court and with the president alongside her, the former appeals courtjudge pledged her independence from the political process. The oath that i have solemnly taken tonight means, at its core, that i will do myjob without any fear or favour, and that i will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences. Ruth bader ginsburg. But in taking the place of the liberaljustice ruth bader ginsburg, who died last month, she will change the political complexion of the nine member court possibly for decades to come. Amy Coney Barrett refused to be drawn on issues such as abortion, climate change, and gun control during her confirmation hearing, but few doubt her appointment could herald a new era of rulings on some of the key issues of American Life. But the confirmation of a Christian Conservative to the us Supreme Court is undoubtedly a huge victory for donald trump. And regardless of its impact on the election, experts agree it could change the shape of American Life long after he has left office. David willis, bbc news, los angeles.

The review, commissioned by the labour party in april, was led by baroness doreen lawrence. It found that minority ethnic groups were over exposed to the virus, stigmatised and faced barriers to health care. Last week, a government adviser said that Structural Racism was not a reasonable explanation for rates of the virus differing between ethnic groups. The metropolitan police are investigating a traffic collision involving labour leader sir keir starmer and a cyclist in north london on sunday. The cyclist, who reportedly has minor injuries following a collision with a car, was taken to hospital as a precaution. Sir keir is not thought to have been injured, and reported the incident to the police later that day. Mobile phone companies have been ordered to stop selling phones locked to one network. The regulator 0fcom says the move should result in better deals and less inconvenience for consumers. The firms have said theyll work with 0fcom to comply with its guidelines. It is 6 10am. Very good morning. We will find out what the weather has in store today and carol is at another amazing place this morning. She is at Hampton Court palace, which is looking glorious. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, both, good morning to you. It certainly is. Inside Hampton Court palace there is a ghost trail taking place this week as halloween approaches and it is half term, as well. I was talking earlier to one of the chaps that works here he was telling me that a couple of years ago the fire alarm went off, so the security guys went up to have a look to see what was afoot and there was nothing there, but the doors were open. And then a couple of weeks later, same thing happened again, the fire alarm went off, they went running up at this time the doors we re running up at this time the doors were closed. And this ghost has been called skeletal. Lots of history in the palace and lots of gusts. We have some rain in the forecast. Todays forecast is one of rain coming in from the past, pushing eastwards and behind it we will see some blustery showers. Gusty winds today, especially in the west and also in the south. Gusting 40 mph plus with exposure. Temperature wise, looking at a range of ten to 14 degrees. As we head into the evening and overnight the rain continues to push up into the far north east of scotland and clears, and then behind it it is a return to blustery showers. Still windy with exposure across the west and also the south and a chilly night, not particularly cold, but chilly. Tomorrow the low pressure dominating out tomorrow the low pressure dominating our weather today will still be with us. Our weather today will still be with us. Tomorrow will be another day of blustery showers, some heavy and thundery. Driest in the east but we cant rule out a shower or two here. And because this is the area of low pressure dominating our weather is scented to the south of iceland, it contains an ex hurricane. Land speed of about 100 mph, contains an ex hurricane. Land speed ofabout100 mph, meaning it is picking up all these waves so Western Areas with exposure, waves five to ten metres high. Certainly something to bear in mind if you are planning a walk along the coastline. We shall look forward to seeing the ghost trail later, carol. Thank you. Enjoying those cozy gloves of yours, keeping the mitts warm. Its chili it looks cold, take care of yourself. Earlier this month liverpool became the first major city in england to be put into tier 3 restrictions as the number of cases of coronavirus rocketed. For the mayor joe anderson the crisis became very personal when his brother bill died with the virus. In his First Television interview since that devastating loss, i went to meet him. Im delighted to say im joined byjoe anderson, the mayor of liverpool. Thank you very much for inviting us here during what are really tough times. And i know yourfamily has been directly affected im so sorry about your brother, bill. Last week, we had 61 deaths in liverpool. Bill was one of the 61. This week, its up to 74. So we know the serious issues facing many, many families in the city. And, of course, bill was taken so suddenly that we never got the chance to say goodbye or to be with him. And both bill and his wife had covid. Jenny, im glad to say, is fine now but, of course, the loss of bill is a great blow to us all, because six weeks prior to that, wed lost my brother through cancer. So its been a traumatic time, to say the least. And tell us about bill, because he was notjust your brother, but he provided for you, as well. We had a reasonably tough upbringing. My father was in the merchant navy, but very seldom worked. He was an alcoholic. Bill went away to sea when he was 16, but provided for the family, sending money allotments, as they were called, to my mum. That kept us going. So i always looked up to him. He was somebody that inspired me, somebody that was, you know. Somebody that gave, as i said, more to this world than he ever took out. Hell be sadly missed. Been overwhelmed by the messages of support. Had he had covid for a while . Had he been ill for a little while . He was taken into hospital on the friday afternoon, around about two oclock, immediately put into the icu and within eight hours hed died. His heart had give up because he couldnt cope with the covid pressure. And you were very busy at the time, werent you . Dealing with things. Yeah, the sad thing was is that bill often spoke to me a couple of times a week over Different Things. And sometimes id just press the button saying, call you later sorry, busy. And i did that. And, um, because i was so busy we were dealing with funding issues on the phone to the government, Different Things as liverpool was entered in tier 3 so i was hugely busy that afternoon. And about two hours later, jenny rang on bills phone and i knew something was wrong immediately because when i heard her voice answer the phone. Thats his wife. Yeah, thats bills wife, jen, and and she told me that he was in hospital, yeah. So that was also sad. However, of course, with covid, theres very little you can do. You cant go visit, you cant sit, you cant be with somebody thats got covid. And its happened to thousands and thousands of people notjust here in liverpool, in the city region, but across the country. Its a disease that, you know, takes no prisoners. Its heartless in how it deals with people. This makes things so hard, doesnt it . That you cant go and say goodbye. I think the good thing for me is that, you know, weve already been contacted by people that were on duty, and a friend of the family one of the icu doctors his father sailed with bill. Thats incredible. And so he looked after him and made sure that he was ok. He actually did an extra shift to stay there with billy. So that was good to know that there were people talking to him, people, you know, having a conversation with them, people actually taking the time out to make sure that he was all right. You want a point at this time to be able to celebrate and remember his life, as well. Will you get a chance to do that . Well get the opportunity to laugh at the things that he did and, as a brother, ive got many tales and stories to tell about him but also remember what he did for people, you know why he was, you know, such a remarkable man because of what he did for people and the fights that he fought on behalf of people and the things that he gave and he never took back. At the time that he died, there was a protest or demonstration in liverpool people saying that, you know, this was perhaps a hoax. So what do you say when you see that . Its frustrating and it makes me angry. It makes me angry because i see and feeland hearand i get lots of messages every single day, every single week about the sacrifices that doctors and nurses and front line staff are making. You know, theyre not only sacrificing themselves, but sacrificing our families. We know that liverpools obviously in tier 3 would you back tougher restrictions if it were necessary at any point . I would back tougher measures if its necessary. You know, this is a fight against a virus that we cant see but we know is there, and we know its taking untold damage on peoples well being, health, Mental Health, but also a huge toll in terms of families as members of families are dying as a result. And i think that has to be our priority. That has to be the number one focus in reducing the Covid Infection rate in the city. So if anything was needed and required to actually bring it down faster, or to make things tougher, than i would do that. However, i want to make sure that we are giving tier 3 a chance and an opportunity to see if the measures that are in place now have that impact. Will the city survive . Weve lost around about 220 businesses in the hospitality sector. That has an enormous impact on the funding of liverpool city council. But we will get through it. People in this city are resilient. You know, people in this city are passionate. The values and the principles that we hold, they will see us through and well support one another. You know, everybody in this city knows that the fight that we have is with covid 19, not
