But i do think its incumbent says any plans of another lockdown on the major clubs to do their bit can not go to support the pyramid. Too far, according to the daily mail, as he warns the Prime Minister that stricter measures could cause not massively expensive for them necessarily, further damage to the economy. But we do need to look at the whole and the virus is impacting employment elsewhere, too, balance between top and bottom. As the japan times reports that graduates fear they are missing out having lit up the old white hart on Employment Opportunities lane, one of the biggest stars as Companies Cut back on hiring in 2021. In World Football will now play in one of the games finest grounds, more reports of the second wave the challenge to help his old club deliver the success it craves. Coming to the uk by the guardian. It says one in five people dan roan, bbc news. Across the uk are in local lockdowns as plans for a national move are under way. Thats it. And in other news, now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. 00 01 35,812 4294966103 13 29,430 have a very good night. The Financial Times leads with news that people in the us will shortly no longer be able to downlaod the app tiktok as washington impements executive orders from president donald trump. 0nly only one place to start. Good to see you both. A real historic change in tone and language from the Prime Minister today. Lets start with the front page of the times. Pm warns britain to prepare for second wave. After being told this week that there were no possibilities going into a second lockdown, today across the front pages in the uk you see a splash speculating that they are trying to get some kind of insight information as to what a second lockdown could look that like, because according to the front page of the times Boris Johnson because according to the front page of the times borisjohnson is widening that there is no reliable alternative to another National Lockdown, and of course they are focused on the increase in coronavirus tests coming back positive. This week, the office of National Statistics to their at home surveys where they send out samples of the coronavirus tested to be sent back to random households in the public and they have found, along with the governments data, that infection rates are going up. We know that this government is looking to france and to spain, we have four or six weeks behind these countries where they have also seen a increase in infections. Notjust looking at infections, but no doubt infections are going up, have gone up in france and spain. They are going up in the uk as well. It is notable that it is a slower pace than it was at the height of lockdown back in march and april. A much slower pace. It is a much slower pace, but it is similar. Its tracking is a bit behind france and spain, as you say, but the trajectory is similar. Its across the country is, though, which i think is key. Its not doubling at the same rate. Absolutely right to emphasise that. No where near the same rate. Jason, the numbers there are same rate. Jason, the numbers there a re pretty same rate. Jason, the numbers there are pretty scary, obviously. What about the politics of this, and the messaging from the Prime Minister and the government . Well, i mean, im old enough to remember thatjust a few weeks ago, injuly, the Prime Minister was trying to cheer up the nation and say that, hopefully, this could all be over by christmas. That looks even more unlikely now than it did then. This is the difficulty for borisjohnson, is that he likes to see himself as the nations cheerleader. He likes to deliver good news. Its noticeable when he did doa good news. Its noticeable when he did do a press conference last week, and that is a point which to why we havent had one today, when we are in sucha havent had one today, when we are in such a difficult position, looking over this precipice, he added to this moonshot scheme, which he then hastily rowed back on, that we would have this mass vaccination programme. And this is why it is getting difficult for him. Its why the right wing papers, including kates own magazine, have been quite critical of the Prime Minister in the last week. Its because he has maybe given us too much hope. And its because it seems like is not particularly well paid for this well prepared for this. Thats where the politics becomes difficult for him. Kate, just briefly, just in a couple of sentences, do you think thatis couple of sentences, do you think that is right . Has the Prime Minister given too much hope . Ijust wa nted minister given too much hope . Ijust wanted to give you a chance to flesh that out. It does appear that theres been a lot of overpromising. 0peration moonshot, he is talking about 10 million tests a day. The government is struggling to process the tests that they are carrying out iiow. The tests that they are carrying out now. They say they have the capacity for 250,000, but we are not processing any where near that. And the public was promised after the first lockdown that they would get this in order over the summer, to avoid a second lockdown, and todays papers, everyone is speculating about what a second lockdown could look like. Lets get a slightly possibly a clearer picture on that. Lets go to the daily mirror. The headline, 56 million set for a two week lockdown, pm warns title restrictions needed to combat inevitable second way. At the moment, by my rough calculations, i think about 15 Million People in the uk are already under some sort of lockdown restrictions. Again, we are coming back to the bit of politics here. The premise is desperate not to talk about a second lockdown full stop he wants to avoid it. For some quite understandable reasons that we will come back to later. Its almost like we are getting this lockdown via the back door, so it is being imposed anyway. And the difficulty here is, you know, what measures are in place to help and support those people who are under a National Lockdown in all but name. We will come to the economics a little later. Kate, what you make of this idea that this is a National Lockdown, but with a different name and by the back door . |j lockdown, but with a different name and by the back door . I think its a very good point. Im not even sure that it will be by a different name. The government is talking by a Circuit Breaker to try and cut off the virus, but of course that was the virus, but of course that was the original proposition when we we nt the original proposition when we went into such a harsh lockdown the first time, so it is the same kind of reasoning. Public opinion would suggest that the Prime Minister does still have people on his side. The vast majority of the public do support stricter measures, but the premise is going to come into trouble when he has to face its own parliament and those backbenchers in the tory party who are increasingly concerned about the draconian measures that keep coming into force, and that they are not having much of a say on. And, no doubt come at some point, the public is going to start asking questions as this becomes more financially unstable for them. And you buy over the summer for them. And you buy over the summerthe uk did for them. And you buy over the summer the uk did not get into itself into a position where i could try to avoid these kind of second lockdown is. We are still in september. We are not in december, january time at the height of the season, when the nhs is usually strained. We are in Early September and we are already discussing it. Yeah, lots of people in the uk in glorious sunshine today, which is slightly worrying. Thats got onto the front page of the daily mail. The front page, the headline. Dont go to that dream occur far. This is pretty much the opposite sentiment from the other front pages, a pretty stark warning about an economic impact. What you make of it, kate . Well, its very concerning. And very nervous about the idea of a very bulimic second lockdown and the impact that is going to have on the economy and mental health, for non covert cases economy and mental health, for non cove rt cases have economy and mental health, for non covert cases have already struggled to access treatment. There is an acumen is that if you are going to do it, do it for the end of 0ctober. There is talk about bringing it in around half term. That almost directly overlaps ready the scheme is to come to come to an end. And there are major question marks. If businesses in their place are not going to be supported, if sectors are forced to shut down again, what is going to happen to them . Especially hospitality sector, but across the board, business are just starting to manage to open up again, if you put them back into lockdown without support. Of course, lockdown without support. Of course , we lockdown without support. Of course, we have already spent well over £2 billion on the measures alone. The furlough scheme is the most expensive part of that so far. The bank of england continues to finance the treasury, but i think the chancellor will be thinking that eventually that magic money tree was start having its branches cut down. Jason, what you make of it . I can understand the anxiety of rishi sunak, andi understand the anxiety of rishi sunak, and i think kate makes a very fair point. There are consequences that go beyond those people who are u nfortu nate that go beyond those people who are unfortunate enough to suffer from the disease, and it is a question of peoples mental health, a question of the backlog of non disease macro nhs cases, it is a question of peoples education. It is a question of the state of the economy. The bit iam of the state of the economy. The bit i am still perplexed about is why they are unilaterally deciding they have to do and furlough for all sectors at the end of october. I think that if we are looking at a second National Lockdown, there has to be support, particularly for the hospitality industry, particularly for those people who are self employed. I dont see why that shouldnt continue beyond the end of october. I think, shouldnt continue beyond the end of october. Ithink, if shouldnt continue beyond the end of october. I think, if they dont do this, the backlash could be quite significant. Interesting. 0k, well, lets move on to the issue of testing. Its not just lets move on to the issue of testing. Its notjust the uk that is having problems, sadly. It is affecting other countries. Lets look at the front page of le figaro. It goes into details about cues and lines going out the front of laboratories, and very similar problems that we are facing here in the uk. Kate . This is an important reminder that the the uk. Kate . This is an important reminderthat the uk the uk. Kate . This is an important reminder that the uk is not the only country to get its Testing Capacity up. The government likes to tote that it has the highest Testing Capacity in europe, and of course you have to go to the question of how many are being processed. As mentioned, in france, they are very much struggling to meet the demand for tests as well. As you say, they cues are for tests as well. As you say, they cues are getting longer. Theres also the fact that the lavatories there. The uk isnt alone in this, but i think it goes back to that point about overpromising. The idea, around the first lockdown, was asking people to do this once and then we would get the house in order. There is a question in the uk and across europe about how many countries are actually prepared to live with the virus. They keep falling back on the vaccine, but we dont have one yet. We should probably be preparing for the worst. It seems some countries have stepped up it seems some countries have stepped up to the plate a bit better. Jason, one of the phrases that is haunting the government is this promise of a world beating test and trace system that isnt in pay bulimic replace at all. It is notjust the uk struggling. I was reading the story andi struggling. I was reading the story and i was struck, actually, at the height of the lockdown earlier this year, i had a zoom conversation with some spanish friends of mine, and they spent most of the time complaining about how badly the spanish had handled the whole covid, and how bad the deaths were in care homes in spain. And i think its quite important that we do realise that although this government has got a lot of things wrong, it is not alone in doing that. But i also think that this shouldnt be a case of showed in drogheda. We shouldnt revel in others discomfort, either. Absolutely right. Let us cross over to the united states. The International Edition of the New York Times. They have analysis. Jason, lets get your thought on this. Whats going on here . Well, i mean, we knew this from the moment he started a run for the predators the micro presidency. He is a divisive figure. In fact, he could have rewrote the rule book for campaigning, because he didnt try to reach out. He did delay mcrae tried to consolidate his face. He has covered in the same way. Its all about trying to energise, keep the anger seething over amongst the people whose support him. As we get closer to election day in the united states, which is less than 50 days now, you get the sense that he is becoming even more desperate to keep the flames of hatred which flow so deeply alive. This is a very unusual way of getting to the macro doing politics. In most countries, once leaders are elected, they do that speech, whether it is on the steps of downing street, where they say now it is time to come together, now iam going now it is time to come together, now i am going to govern for the whole country, whether you are on the left are on the right, red or blue, and trump doesnt do that. Kate, what do you make of the analysis here on the front page of the New York Times . |j front page of the New York Times . think its difficult for the leader of any country to try and pass the buck when it comes to how a pandemic was handled, especially in the case of donald trump, who actively spread misinformation and made the situation much more difficult during press conferences than was necessary. It will be hard for many to believe that it is the fault of these democratic states, when at the end of the day the us than president is responsible for the us death toll. Truck for a while now has been trying to angle his criticism is not atjoe biden, trying to angle his criticism is not at joe biden, the trying to angle his criticism is not atjoe biden, the democratic nominee, but towards those more liberal democratic officials. Donald trump thinks they are less popular, and actually those key swing states, the people he really needs to be appealing there dont like their political representatives. So i think this is actually quite an important election tactic that we need to watch. He is trying to fight against the governors and the senators and the mayors as opposed tojoe biden, senators and the mayors as opposed to joe biden, who senators and the mayors as opposed tojoe biden, who is a little more difficult to get. He is railing against badly run blue states. Jason, im not going to be quite so mean as to ask for a prediction, but. Iam. Mean as to ask for a prediction, but. I am. How do you see it going . I mean, it is joe but. I am. How do you see it going . I mean, it isjoe bidens but. I am. How do you see it going . I mean, it is joe bidens to lose. But i do remember, four years ago, that all the polls suggested hilary was going to win, and we all went back and we were all assured that it was in the bag for hillary. We are in a similar situation now. With trump, you dont write him off. He isa with trump, you dont write him off. He is a much better campaigner than people give him betterfor. But i do think the mood seems to have changed. My hunch at the moment is that the base has shrunk, and although it is still fanatical it is not fanatical enough numbers. Its the swing states that matter, with the swing states that matter, with the possible exception of florida, and beidens lead is looking healthy. That is your hunch. Kate, very quickly, just a couple of lines. You want to follow suit . very quickly, just a couple of lines. You want to follow suit . I do agree that it isjoe bidens to lose, but im very worried, come election day, because i think it is possible that somebody may claim victory on the election day and actually have that overturned because of what is happening with postal ballots in the united states. What happens on election day may well not to be the full result. We may not find out until three, four days later, even up to a week later, who actually won. And i think that is going to cause even more tension. Lets move on to the Financial Times. Tiktok banned from us app stores. Wechat also hit by the order. Is this a good reason for lots of tiktok users in the us to be worried . Donald trump issued an executive order to bind these two apps. Its owner is in conversations with the united states, but of course china is involved in those conversations as well. So we are not sure how long this will be the last in the us. I will not be surprised if there is a challenge to this executive order, but the president s claim is that it is not safe for us Data Protection to have these apps floating around. There will be many teenagers out there who will be distraught at this news. It goes far past teenage circles, it is actually quite a big issue and representative of the fact that trump continues to crack down on china. This will also bea crack down on china. This will also be a huge part of his election in pain. I would say that biden has struggled to comment on. He is trying to work a more balanced line. Im afraid we are out of time. Jason,in im afraid we are out of time. Jason, in one word, are you a tiktok user . Im slightly baffled. There is no time now. Unfortunately, no one can explain tiktok to you. We will be back shortly. Thank you both very much for being with us. As i say, we will be back in just about half past 11. Until then, thank you very much for watching. Goodbye. Good evening. Hello, im holly hamilton with your latest sports news. Its like hes never been away. Gareth bale was all smiles as he mdae his much anticipated return to tottenhams Training Ground this afternoon, seven years on from signing with real madrid. From enfielde, heres our Sports Editor dan roan. Spurs fans have been hoping for eight years now that one time he might return from his stay at real madrid, and that dream has also become a reality. The 31 year old welshman flew by private jet from the spanish capital earlier on this morning. He landed at luton airport, then, a short time later, he arrived here at Tottenham Hotspurs Training Ground near enfield in north london, where he reacquainted himself with his old surroundings, met some of his old surroundings, met some of his new team mates stop we await confirmation, we await an announcement. That should come later on this evening, i understand, but really the teas are being crossed and the eyes are dotted. Just the final elements of the surprise transfer, being described as the tra nsfer of transfer, being described as the transfer of the summer. No doubt that spurs fans are hugely excited, as you can see. And we spoke to a few of the fans earlier on. He is going to make the team better, and hes going to bring a lot ofjoy. The memories, the goals, i cant wait. Its really exciting. I rememberwhen, seven years wait. Its really exciting. I remember when, seven years ago, he went, iwas remember when, seven years ago, he went, i was gutted. But you cant blame him. But now he is coming back. He will walk in there, everyone will look at him, he is a superstar. You cant deny he is a winner. He returns from his seven year stint at real madrid is arguably english footballs biggest ever arguably english footballs biggest ever export. Injury and a falling out with the managers meant that he became sidelined and his spanish adventure turned sour. And that is why spurs have swooped of course. He will earn around £600,000 a week, we understand, with a railed madrid paying at least half of that. So desperate were they to get them out of the burner. That relationship had broken down, as i say. But it is fascinating. This remarkable deal comes at a time when clubs are desperate to get fans back inside stadium, and they are lobbying government hard to be able to do that because they are losing hundreds of millions of pounds potentially. And, of course, it comes at a time when the lower leagues are desperate help from the premier league to help them survive a unprecedented financial crisis. As exciting a player as he undoubtedly is, ithink exciting a player as he undoubtedly is, i think this deal will raise eyebrows, and it will be fascinating to see whether he can help there is a marine years side get into the Champions League this season. Meanwhile, another Major Premier League signing was confirmed today as spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara joined liverpool from bayern munich. He posted an emotional farewell message to the german club and their supporters on social media, and says leaving was the most difficult decision of his career. Thiago won the Champions League with bayern last season of course, as well as seven consecutive bundesliga titles. Before that he won la liga twice with barcelona. At 29, hes initially costing liverpool 20 million pounds, that could rise to 25, on a four year deal. Its been very hard going for golfers at the us open as they struggle round the notoriously challenging winged foot course in new york. Rory mcilroy started his second round in touch with the lead, but he found it difficult going getting out of this bunker on the fourth hole and that led to a double bogey. That was just the start of a tough round for him. Hes now on three over, seven shots behind the leader, the american, patrick reed. British number one, johanna konta, has been knocked out of the italian open. Ninth seed Garbine Muguruza won in straight sets as both players continue their preparations on clay for the french open which starts later this month. Kontas also announced she wont be working with coach Thomas Hogstedt on a permanent basis. A try from Dan Sarginson in golden point extra time helped salford beat catalans to reach the challenge cup semi finals. The score was tied at 18 18 after 80 minutes and salford sealed the victory a couple of minutes into extra time as sarginson went over for this dramatic winning effort. Just two days remaining of the tour de france. Never too late though for a surprise stage winner. Denmarks soren kraow andersen pulled away from a pretty elite group with ten miles remaining and held on to claim his second stage win at this years tour. Primoz roglic retained the leaders Yellow Jersey while irelands sam bennett moved a huge step closer to winning the points classification. Meanwhile, Elisa Longo Borghini has won the penultimate stage of the giro rosa. The italian held off dutch rider anna van der breggen, who leads the race after her compatriot Annemiek Van Vleuten withdrew due to injury yesterday. Now, australias National Womens team have scfored a bit of an own goal, with news today that the teams away kit would not be available for purchase in womens sizes until 2022. A post from the matildas twitter account revealed the issue in a response to a lot of fans requesting the teams green awayjersey. Among those unhappy with the decision was matildas player elise kellond knight, who tweeted the lack of womens sizes was a fairly significant problem. Thats all the sport for now. Good night. Hello. Well, most of us had a fine day on friday and this weekend isnt looking bad at all. Its going to be a little on the breezy side across southern parts of the uk, there might be one or two showers around but on the whole a fine weekend. This is what it looks like early in the morning on saturday. Clear skies for most of us, temperatures around 10 degrees a few showers lurking across the channel. The thinking is to the course of the morning the afternoon clouds will build across the south and these showers will clip southwest of england. Breeze blowing out northwest you can see. Make the most of this weekend, this warm, sunny weekend for most of us because next week and could be very different. In fact, a gradual cooldown expected through the course 00 27 17,391 2147483051 50 23,410 of next week and turning 2147483051 50 23,410 4294966103 13 29,430 more autumnal
