won't face lockdown as well. if the data is clear, then we will again have to impose restrictions on other areas. but at this point in time, i think it is appropriate that bangor is the right place to have some restrictions so that the high incidence rate there is controlled. bangor had seen a significant cluster of cases, with the welsh government saying that they appeared to be closely associated with young people and the student population. if you go to the pubs, you see a range of ages socialising where they really probably shouldn't be. so i don't think it is fair they're pointing the fingers at students. we're not allowed to form a bubble with any of our other friends any more, which we made a lot of friends in first year, so knowing we're living in the same building and we can't go and see them just to have a coffee or something, is quite sad. discussions on the situation in other parts of gwynedd will continue over the next few days. but for now, the first minister has confirmed that no immediate action will be taken to introduce local restrictions beyond the ones in bangor tonight. now on bbc news lebo diseko meets christian voters in the swing state of north carolina and explores how important faith will be in a contest which biden has billed as a battle for america's soul. this is the most important election in the history of our country. america is gearing up for a monumental decision. we are in a battle for the soul of the nation and it is not hyperbole. we really believe that... at the heart of it is the battle for god. in america, we don't turn to government to restore our souls, we put ourfaith in almighty god. when the president held up the bible at stjohn's church yesterday — ijust wish he opened it once in awhile instead of brandishing it. both candidates have put faith front and centre, and are showing off their christian credentials. now we have got somebody — he's the one. i am lebo diseko and i'm going to discover how faith is shaping the election battle in one crucial state. this is, in my opinion, spiritual warfare. this is good against evil. god is still moving... there is a lot that hinges on this election. i don't think this american democracy will be able to survive four more years. donald trump is a long way from a christian man. conservative christians like myself look and go, how can you possibly? how can you get your head around supporting this man? i brought my bible. north carolina is part of america's bible belt. and the more i realisejust how much god loves me, just how much he cares about me... it's a state where faith matters. but you are my god! it's also a key swing state — the last time a republican won the presidency without winning here was 1956. are you ready? i would describe myself politically as a christian conservative patriot. rhonda allen is a firearms instructor and an evangelical. let's just give it a try and see what happens. in 2016, white evangelicals made up the republican party's largest voting bloc, with around 80% of them voting for trump. give me a smooth, easy trigger press. alright, nicely done. so rhonda, tell me how important is your faith to you and how you lead your life? my faith and my relationship withjesus christ is paramount. it rules my decisions, and politics are very important with that because our leadership dictates the society that we live in and i would prefer that it continue to stay the god—centred country that it was originally created to be. that's it. we've noticed a great increase in demand for training and for firearms and ammunition. ammunition is selling out. guns are flying off the shelf. people are not feeling safe because they are seeing the liberal left coming unhinged, and so our people are starting to fight back. rhonda sees this election as the battle for america's soul, and she is on donald trump's side. 0ur christian values are under attack. we have very divided battle lines. we would like to be able to express our faith without condemnation from the left. when you speak up boldly and you speak biblical truth, you can expect an attack. this is a small town. we live in the country and we have seen a huge influx in recent years of those who don't believe the way we do, and they are making an impact in our elections and in our daily life. we are starting to see a lot more public displays of homosexuality, blatantly on the streets. none of us are perfect or without sin. we all have it but most of us don't display our sin on the street with banners. this is, in my opinion, spiritual warfare. this is good against evil. being christian is god's army on earth. it's getting more important that christians stand up and speak their truth. we have got to start doing that or we're going to lose this country. in 2016, donald trump relentlessly targeted voters like rhonda. i'm a true believer and you are many true believers. i hope all, is everybody a true believer in this room? applause good stuff. but, christianity is under tremendous siege and yet we don't exert the power that we should have. christianity will have power because if i'm there, you're gonna have plenty of power. you don't need anybody else, you're going to have somebody representing you, very, very well. remember that. in the us, faith is one of the most important factors in how people vote. and if you're willing to repent... trump has the support of usually influential evangelical preachers like franklin graham. god will forgive your sins tonight. and jesus deliberately picked out those two stories. his father billy was known as america's pastor. and i believe more than that, i believe jonah could have swallowed the whale if god wanted him to. between them, they have preached to millions. this is the library. come on. the billy graham library in the south of the state is a museum to their work. people come here from all over the world. it is the largest attraction here in this part of north carolina. good morning. good morning, how are you folks today? good to see you sir. thank you, thank you, thank you. there was bush, his father, the clintons. these politicians sought my father out. he didn't seek them out. what do you think it is about donald trump as a person that christians connect with so much on such a deep level? first of all, he is not ashamed of jesus christ's name. he is very happy to be associated with christians. he's happy to have you come into the oval office and pray for him. when i prayed at his inauguration, i prayed injesus's name and he was very happy for that. in the bible, rain is a sign of god's blessing, and it started to rain mr president when you came to the platform. evangelical preachers like franklin have been some of trump's biggest cheerleaders. i believe it was god. applause god showed up. i thank you tonight for our president, donald j trump. there has been a lot of talk about his lifestyle and i think for quite a few people, it's hard to understand how christians, particularly evangelical christians can overlook that or look past that? i'm not interested in the donald trump of 20 years ago or 30 years ago — i'm interested in the donald trump of today. his lifestyle over the years has certainly, is certainly a lifestyle that most christians would not approve of, and i think there has been a big change in his life in the last five years. and a spiritual change. this has been said by some people to be the most important us election ever. how important is it for christians? i think this is the most important election as far as christians go. we have a very clear choice in this country during the election. we have a president who is very supportive of religious freedom and we certainly appreciate that. and we've got the other side who show very little regard for christian values. the left will do everything i think in their power to undermine the people of faith. i came here to ask for your support, your help and your prayers, and wow, did you deliver. since winning in 2016, trump has made it clear that he won't forget his loyal evangelical backers. you didn't let me down and i will never ever let you down. you know that. he's consistently championed their agenda on key issues like abortion and religious freedom. we're proudly announcing historic steps to protect the first amendment right to pray in public schools. so you have the right to pray and that is a very important and powerful right. and there's a reason to keep them onside. their concentration in swing states and high voter turnout means they wield a disproportionate level of influence on elections. injesus's name, we bless you. amen. for the rank and file white evangelicals like rhonda, trump's commitment to their causes is what really matters. judge amy coney barrett. his recent nomination of conservative christian judge amy coney barrett for the us supreme court has gone down well. i will continue to support him in his bid for election as long as he continues to bring forward conservative judges. we need christian conservative judges to keep this a christian country. go trump. most importantly, i appreciate his support for israel and moving the embassy tojerusalem. the bible again very clearly states that if you are a friend with israel and a friend god's people, then you are a friend of his. if you are an enemy of israel, then you will be an enemy of his. is there anything you don't like about him? no, there's not a whole lot i don't like about donald trump. if he does nothing else but maintain our way of life and our freedom, then he's done plenty. but afterfour years in power, donald trump can't bank on all christian conservative voters backing him again. when i talked to reverend knox up the street... just across the state from rhonda is shawn lemond, a former republican politician. it would be difficult i think for any christian to see donald trump and not acknowledge that he is a long way from a christian man. that his value system is extremely flawed. as a christian, as a republican, what are your specific objections to him? how can a christian like myself with two daughters possibly support a man that says he can grab them? grab my daughter's by their genitalia because he is rich and famous. it saddens me greatly to see the republican christian right accepting this man in any shade. shawn has been so appalled by the president's actions that he now actively campaigns against him. i served two terms in the north carolina state legislature. the republican party i knew and loved was an honourable party, what has taken over our party is wrong and as a republican, as a christian, we simply cannot allow this man to be re—elected. the rhetoric‘s become hate filled. anybody that disagrees with us is your enemy. that's absolutely new. i mean, there was always an element of that in our politics but now it's become the overall consistent drumbeat within the republican rhetoric. and it's despicable, it's disturbing and it is dangerous. when the republican party goes with donald trump, it's not so much me leaving the republican party at the republican party leaving me. you're a lifelong republican, you're conservative and yet it sounds like you are leaning towards wanting a democrat to win. in this instance, yes. i will definitely be voting forjoe biden. i am going to encourage everybody i know to vote forjoe biden. we set up, in the justice department, the ability for the civil rights division... joe biden is another thing that's different this time around. four years ago, hillary clinton struggled to make any significant inroads into the christian vote. biden: personally for me, faith, it's all about hope and purpose. but in biden, trump faces an opponent who's a lifelong catholic and not afraid to use the language of faith. i go to mass and i say the rosary, i find it to be incredibly comforting. in the west of the state is the small rural town of newton. i'm a big star trek fan, star wars fan, but i think my most prized possession is the taylor swift autograph. robert wright lee runs a liberal church where 85% of the congregation lgbtq plus. and my wife actually had that made for a birthday of mine. i wear bow—ties when i'm no in a collar, so it has a little bit of a resemblance to me. robert can vouch for the strength ofjoe biden's faith and has provided him with spiritual guidance. i guarantee you, joe biden knows more about his bible than donald trump ever will, becausejoe biden is a deeply committed person faith and i think that he has energised so many of us in the faith realm to be energized for him. something that robert believes will challenge the dominance of the evangelical bloc which was so influential in 2016. people assume that the christian vote is a monolith, thinking that every single christian in the united states is going to vote for donald trump — that couldn't be further from the truth. it seems to me that for the longest time, the evangelical church has been a loud voice, but there are plenty of progressive christians, like me, who say "not so fast". donald trump was able to mobilise a base in 2016 that included the evangelical vote. they really propelled him to victory and he's hoping to do the same this time. well, but, the unfortunate thing for him is we've had four years of president trump. many christians are not happy with the way that he is portraying not only our faith but how he is treating others in the name of our faith. but stronger competition for christian votes isn't the only thing that's different about this election. coronavirus may well shape the way many african—americans decide to vote. that no matter what we go through, no matter what the situation may look like, god is with us. this is what a church service in north carolina looks like these days, thanks to a pandemic. some of us, lord, tonight, have lost loved ones. some of us have dealt with unemployment and furlough, so lord, we thank you. mycal brickhouse is a pastor in cary. like other african—american communities, his congregation has been affected disproportionately by coronavirus. god is still moving! god is still working, is still delivering! horns blare. god is still good! we're loading up15 pound produce boxes... his church has organised a foodbank to help those in need. this week you'll find some collared greens, some squash. the loss of life, the loss of employment, is being felt in our community. in my own family, i've lost my grandmother to the virus. this moment should pull at our hearts. we've been able to serve 150,000 meals since march 15 and we're going to continue to go while covid is still making its way through our community. president trump has said that nobody has done more to help african—america ns than himself. i wonder what you make of that statement. how can he make that claim when we are witnessing more devastation happening to the african—american community and i believe that this president has been absent from the pain and the suffering that is felt in these communities. when she says "are you registered to vote?" and she says "yes", then you click yes. in 2016, black voter turnout fell sharply. mycal is out to do something about it. so you will be voting in person, 0k, great, wonderful. the black christian vote is more energised this election cycle because what we have seen is that lives really do depend on it. you're going to do it in person, ok, that's what i wanted to know. many of our members are resolute that they are going to vote in this election, in that their family members vote. in person, alrighty. since president trump came to power, there's been a surge in political activism in black and progressive churches. north carolina has more african—american voters than any other swing state. talk to you soon, bye—bye. we gotta hold them accountable and the best way for me as a pastor to hold them accountable is to let them know that i have a congregation that is willing to vote them out when they are not doing what is right for our community. gun shots fire. injune, black lives matter protesters were cleared from near the white house. donald trump was heading to church, not for a service but for a photo opportunity. the president held up the bible at stjohn's church yesterday. ijust wish he opened it once in a while, instead of brandishing it. he's following the radical left agenda. hurt the bible, hurt god... american politics has rarely been as divided and angry as it is today. and it's even reached the quiet suburbs where shawn lives with his family. what we've got here is a man who is intentionally scaring people and making you afraid of your neighbour. this is the stuff that will cause a nation to melt down. this is the kind of stuff that will destroy the fabric of a community. the polarisation of the christian voting element in the united states is extreme. it's a level of hate and discord i could not have every envisaged in north carolina. families that won't talk to each other, families that are completely split. even shawn's15—year—old daughter has experienced this animosity. my friend since second or third grade, and she's a trump supporter, her family's a trump supporter, just this year she decided, without an argument oranything, to just stop talking to me. and i'm like, iwas just very disappointed to see a friend that i've told my deepest secrets to, and told everything to, just go away. however, it's the unprecedented level of this conflict which shawn believes could ultimately be trump's undoing. we're a peaceful country until the last six months. and now we've had protests and rioting going on, and do most christians say that's gotta end? and do most christians say that's donald trump's fault? yeah. donald trump famously has had huge support from white evangelical christians. how important is it to him that he maintains that support and even expands it? there's absolutely no doubt, he will not get re—elected without that entire group being behind him. now, within the christian group, polls clearly show that he's lost about 8% and 8% of that voting bloc is pretty significant, frankly. but for diehard evangelicals like rhonda, god is on trump's side. i believe he was put here for this day and time for a reason. and she's hopeful for november's outcome. "he saved them from the hand of the foe, from the hand of the enemy, he redeemed them". chuckles. that means we'll prevail. god's on our side, we already know the end of the story. trump: this can only happen in north carolina! donald trump has visited five times since august and joe biden has campaigned here, too. this state matters and how its christians vote may well help determine who wins the keys to the white house in three weeks' time. hello there and welcome to look at the weather for the week ahead. whilst last week we had temperatures a little bit above where they should be for october, it turned much chillier through friday and that continued on saturday, well into sunday and temperatures will generally stay a little bit below par for much of the coming week as well. now there will be a chilly start perhaps with a touch of frost in the glens of scotland first thing on sunday, but far fewer showers, the winds will be easing away from the east coast where they are still going to bring showers into eastern scotland, eastern england. yes, the odd one elsewhere in the morning but they do tend to dampen down in the afternoon with high—pressure building and the temperatures will respond to a little bit more sunshine and slightly lighter winds. so i think it will feel less cold. however, it will turn chilly in southern and eastern areas on sunday night with a touch of mist and fog here and there, but already we've got the next area of rain coming in. so that brief respite from the stronger winds and the showers only for 2h hours, because we've got the next atlantic low moving in for monday to bring all parts some rain. probably about ten to 15 millimetres of rain for most and then the high pressure is building behind it once again. but nevertheless, as you can see quite a wet start to the day. that rain clearing from northern ireland, western fringes with showers following in and quite a wet end to the day further east and therefore, not especially warm. temperatures around about average, perhaps a tad below for the time of year given that rain as well. now that rain develops into an area of low pressure, sits in the north sea and hangs around during the course of tuesday. you can see behind it, you've got high—pressure starting to build in. but i think for many we've got those weather systems or those weather fronts meandering around the area of low pressure so particularly england and wales, it looks unsettled with some heavier bursts of rain and there will be some showery bursts further north, a lot of cloud. but a little bit drierfor the north of scotland and northern ireland and still temperatures to stay between ten and 12 degrees. that's still with us as we go into wednesday, because we've got that keen easterly coming in, circulating around the area of low pressure which is just starting to pull away. the high—pressure starting to build in from the north, so some chilly start across scotland and northern ireland, some patchy mist and fog but a lot of the dry unsettled weather on wednesday. whilst with the north—easterly we will still pull showers in too many central and eastern areas during the day. but where we have seen sunshine, there will be lighter winds further north and it will feel pleasant enough. that trend continues on thursday, that weather system starting to pull out of the way, the high—pressure to the north starting to build southwards, starting to influence the weather in more areas to be dry. however, we've got that north—easterly, we still got that chance with the low pressure weather front close by to southern and eastern areas to still have some rain here and some showers, as you can see on a weaker weather front towards the north. and temperatures very similar, in the range of ten to 13 celsius. those are fairly static through the week, of course we will have some chilly nights. and the reason for that static sort of weather picture is the jet stream is quite weak and it's to the west and to the south of us. that means we've got high—pressure. however, the high pressure doesn't establish itself at a time but then we are watching an area of low pressure so the jets stream starts to wind itself up and influence southern and western parts of the uk. there is still a lot of dry weather in the forecast for the second half of the week in particular and for the north for much of the week but then there is a question over the latter pa rt then there is a question over the latter part of the week into the following weekend about the deepening area of low pressure. so please stay tuned, goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at ten... mayors in the north of england say the chancellor's coronavirus financial help package doesn't
