Voting day in the us president ial elections, as millions head to the polls businesses in the major cities take precautions against violence in the aftermath. And its a day of sunshine and showers in the uk but there is something drier on the horizon. I will have the full forecast. Good morning. Its tuesday, november the 3rd. Our top story. Three people are known to have died, and many more are injured, after gunmen opened fire in the centre of the austrian capital vienna. The countrys chancellor has described it as a repulsive terror attack. Police have arrested one suspect and shot dead another, but are still searching for at least one gunman. Mark lobel reports. Austrian police order people to take cover. News of an incident emerged just before eight last night, with reports of several gunmen armed with rifles opening fire in six locations. One witness recalls what he saw. We didnt know what was going on, to be honest. The only thing we heard of was the firecrackers, the sound of firecrackers. And then we only saw what happened sort of afterwards. You know, we saw policemen in the street next to our restaurant. We saw the ambulance lining up next to our restaurant. We saw there were victims who seemed harmed, in a way. It unfolded in a vibrant district of vienna opposite a synagogue, which was closed at the time. Its not clear if that was a target. It comes a night before a new 8pm coronavirus curfew kicks in for cafes and restaurants there. Austrias chancellor has called it a repulsive terror attack. Translation we are living here in austria and particularly in vienna through difficult hours. We are victims of an appalling terrorist attack in our capital, which is still ongoing. I want to thank the emergency services. They are risking their lives to secure our safety. Borisjohnson has tweeted that he is deeply shocked by the terrible attacks, telling the people of austria the uk stands united with them against terror. Police are still searching for at least one suspect still at large. Theyre urging people to stay at home or avoid public transport if theyre out on the streets. Austrias interior minister described this as the hardest day this for the country for several years. As the manhunt continues for at least one heavily armed and dangerous attacker, the special forces are also looking beyond the capital. Mark lobel, bbc news. Lets get the latest from our correspondent, damien mcguiness, whos in berlin for us. This is very much an ongoing situation. What is the latest . Thats right. Schools have been closed and the authorities are still telling people to avoid the city centre. The latest confirmed information from police is that at least three people are now dead. Two two men, one woman. The suspects apartment is being searched. The interior manager the interior minister says that one of the suspect sags links to islamic state. This does appear to have been an islamist attack. That was the big question until now. What we knew is that there had been six places where the attack had been carried out. One of those places was near a synagogue. It was not clear if that played a role. Right now, Going Forward , played a role. Right now, Going Forward, the real question is, at least one other person is on the run, so its still potentially a dangerous situation in vienna. Thank you for the update. We will check in later. Regular coronavirus tests are going to be offered to everyone in liverpool from the end of this week, in the governments first mass testing pilot involving a whole city. Troops will help carry out rapid turnaround tests on about half a Million People who live or work in liverpool, even if they dont have symptoms. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley reports. Many of us have taken tests like this in the last few months. The government thinks they are going to be crucial to controlling the virus in future. Yesterday, they hit a target with half a million daily tests available. And, from friday, a new mass testing scheme is being rolled out here in liverpool, where the number of cases is among the highest in england. Everyone, even those without symptoms, will be offered a regular test. 2000 Armed Forces Personnel have been deployed to help. In what the Prime Minister hopes will be a new weapon against the virus. Borisjohnson was in Parliament Yesterday to explain his plans for a new england white lockdown coming into force for a month from thursday. The modelling presented by our scientists suggests that without action, we could see up to twice as many deaths over the winter as we saw in the first wave. Faced with these latest figures, there is no alternative but to take further action at a national level. He said the measures would end in four weeks, and it would be up to mps what would happen next. Leader of the opposition, keir starmer. But he has faced claims that he waited too long to act. As a result, this lockdown will be longer than it needed to be, at least four weeks. It will be harder. We havejust missed half term. And the human cost will be higher. Labour will, though, back the measures in a vote tomorrow, so they will almost certainly pass. Not that everyone is happy with the strategy. A four week period that must be used wisely. A time too, as has been said, sort out test and trace. But, frankly, i also think those four weeks are for the government to reboot itself, both in its policy and operation, and i dare say for us all to take that attitude, as well. Can the Prime Minister demonstrate to me that the damage that we calls to east sussex by locking down, on our economy, on liberty, on lives, on livelihoods, would be a lot worse were we to do absolutely nothing . So england is heading for another lockdown. But there remain questions over the cost and the longer term exit strategy. Nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. Lets go to downing street now, where borisjohnson is due to hold a Cabinet Meeting later this morning. Our Political Correspondent, Jessica Parker, is there for us. Good morning. There still seems to bea good morning. There still seems to be a little bit of confusion over the detail of this lockdown due yeah, there are a few details yet to be hammered out. One example is we we re be hammered out. One example is we were given to believe by downing street yesterday that golf and tennis wouldnt be allowed under the new lockdown measures for england coming into force on thursday. Then a very senior cabinet minister, michael gove, speaking last night to the Surrey Residents Network said people probably could continue to play singles tennis and allowed people to play golf as well with one person. So details like that, it seems, are still being resolved. Then there is the very significant issue of furlough. Boris johnson face numerous questions yesterday as to whether the furlough scheme, where the government is now stepping in to pay 80 of peoples wages if they cant work, whether if scotland, wales and Northern Ireland went into lockdown in the future, the government would can extend the government would can extend the furlough scheme for those areas. He seemed to confirm last night, speaking to douglas ross, the leader of the scottish conservatives, but we are still waiting for confirmation from the treasury on that. A Cabinet Meeting later this morning. Maybe they will be hammering out some of those details. We have an urgent question being put by labour in the house of commons today about the economic support package. Thank you very much for that. We will be speaking to the communities secretary, robertjenrick, 7 30am. We have had lots of questions from you about what you can and cant do in england when lockdown starts on thursday. Yes, and a little bit later we will speak to our panel of experts just after eight. Lots of information. The Wales Football Team have cancelled a News Conference, after what the wales fa described as an alleged incident involving the manager, ryan giggs. Hed been due to announce the squad for three upcoming matches. The wales fa said it wont be commenting further for now. Giggs has been manager of the Welsh National side since january 2018. The polls will open in the us later this morning, as voters choose between President Donald Trump and his democratic challengerjoe biden. Businesses in the nations capital, washington dc, and in new york city, have been seen boarding up their premises due to concerns about unrest after the vote. This our washington correspondent, ben wright, is in washington dc this morning. They have been working hard, havent they, both candidates in the last few hours . Its been a frenetic final day of campaigning here. Last timei final day of campaigning here. Last time i looked donald trump is still speaking at a rally in michigan. It is one oclock in the morning. He is taking this campaign to the wire in a frenetic effort to shore up his vote in some of those key swing states, mainly in the north east of the us. He narrowly won four years ago. He needs to keep it if he wants ago. He needs to keep it if he wants a second term of the white house. He has been extraordinarily busy in the past week, turning up at rallies. Joe biden at a different pace and a different event. We had a drive through event in pittsburgh, at which lady gaga performed. They are offering starkly different m essa 9 es are offering starkly different m essa g es to are offering starkly different messages to the american electorate. Donald trump saying four more years of pretty much the same, joe biden promising america he will try to calm the temperature in these deeply divided country. And joe biden knows he is going into election day, it seems, fairly comfortably ahead in the polls. Everybody knows how wrong the polls. Everybody knows how wrong the polls. Everybody knows how wrong the polls were four years ago. It is an unprecedented election taking place in the middle of a pandemic, there is a lot of unease around the us about what happens in the hours and days after the election because of the number of postal ballots that need to be counted. Its possible we dont get a result as we normally would soon after polls close. It is shrouded in uncertainty. There is clearly huge determination to take pa rt by clearly huge determination to take part by many americans. Thank you very much indeed. Coverage will start on the bbc tonight and go into the early hours of tomorrow and breakfast as well. We might not have the actual result for a couple of days.

But there is something drier on the horizon after today, even if it does stay on the chilly side. Some pretty heavy rain across Central Scotland. Some sleet and snow at the top of the hills. A little curl of quite heavy rain pushing through. A couple of bouts of rain through this morning working through the midlands, southern england and the east. When that clears from late morning onwards, much more sunshine developing. There will be a scattering of showers to take us through the afternoon. Some of those can be any happier than resort. North and west of scotland prone to them. Eastern scotland brightening up them. Eastern scotland brightening up compared to this morning. A cool day. Temperatures sticking in single figures for much of scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of undead. A lot more sunshine further south. If you see the showers they will be on the heavy side. The breeze easing down a little bit compared to recent days. Into this evening and overnight as the breeze continues to ease down, some showers to the north and west. Clear skies elsewhere. It will be a cold night. It could be the first widespread frost for a while. Temperatures close to if not below freezing in england and wales. Things will turn drierfor england and wales. Things will turn drier for the england and wales. Things will turn drierfor the rest of england and wales. Things will turn drier for the rest of this week. There will be some overnight mist, fog and also frost. Thank you. Lets take a look at todays front pages. The guardian reports that liverpool will become the first city to trial mass testing. It also says that those who test positive and their close contacts may have their self isolation periods reduced to seven days.

Johnny depp features on the front of the express, after he lost his libel case against the Sun Newspaper its after the paper published an article that called him a wife beater. Terror in vienna is the headline on austrias der standard website. Its after a multiple shooting in the city last night. Police say they are still searching for at least one more attacker. The latest figures are the death toll is three at the moment. And we will keep covering that story this morning because it is obviously an ongoing situation. We were talking about the american election. I know you will like this. Are you going to stay up all night and watch it, dan . Yes, louise these are key times. This is from the daily mail. Lots of the papers writing about the election. So id midnight uk time, thatis election. So id midnight uk time, that is when the polls close, for example in florida. Last time, 2016, they called at 4 30am uk time. Pollsters promising a quick count. It could be one of the first to declare because it used to handling lots of mail in ballots. Many millions of people in america have already voted by mail. Georgia called it at 4 50am last time. If you are up in the early hours it will be happening there. 4 23am in North Carolina last time. You can set it all out, you can set alarms. You can do whatever you like. There will be a lot of coverage. Florida is interesting because ifjoe biden manages to win in florida that is an early indicator. Lots of talk in the newspapers today about what you can and cant do. Talk about a gulping band. You can go fishing with one other person. Golf is being looked at, as is tennis. Talk about golf being banned. Iwill show at, as is tennis. Talk about golf being banned. I will show you a picture of a queue in a minute. The ban on worship, the archbishop of canterbury has said perhaps the closure of churches has been overly cautious in permitting priests from entering churches during the first lockdown, and saying people must have access to the sacraments. The Muslim Council of britain say worship is fundamentally congregational in nature. It is important to the government considers revising this during lockdown. Hopefully you can see this. Here we go. Have a look. This isa this. Here we go. Have a look. This is a shop in watford. Can you see that . A 397 metre queue to get into this shop, going right around the carpet. Can you see that .
