And coming up on bbc news scrum half natasha hunt is withdrawn from englands squad to face italy in their six nations finale on sunday after a positive coronavirus test. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Nottinghamshire has become the latest region to move into the highest tier of coronavirus restrictions. Before the tier 3 measures took effect at midnight, large groups of drinkers gathered in Nottingham City Centre. Police have said those involved will be punished, and warned that anyone caught breaking the new rules will be fined.

We wanted to go out, to travel the country, see the things we wa nt travel the country, see the things we want to be able to do. Let her enjoy life. We cant. All she can do is sit in the flat. We dont seem to have any hope at the minute, its all doom and gloom. And those who look out for people here, fear for them, too. The old people will feel it more because a lot of them are towards the end of life as well. A lot of them have said they dont wa nt lot of them have said they dont want to spend the last years of their life being confined to their flats and not seeing family. And look what was happening in Nottingham City Centre last night. Like many people, i think im disappointed to see those scenes, and what we really need to do is for everybody to play their part in bringing this virus down, and that extends to everybody in our communities, whether they are young oi communities, whether they are young or old, and thats the only way that we are actually going to see some very significant reductions in the virus. Back in st anns, stonebridge city farm is one of many surprises. Its a refuge for families, especially in the half term holiday. Its hard to find things to do. Youre locked in the house and youve done every activity inside that you can possibly think of. Weve been to every park. I think months more of this and its just not going to be very nice. Many volu nteers not going to be very nice. Many volunteers here, like karen, have disabilities. First time round, the lockdown was really hard. Disabilities. First time round, the lockdown was really hardlj disabilities. First time round, the lockdown was really hard. I was a bit fed up because i was in the house and i missed the farm that much. This is how much it means to be back in the kitchen. Im learning to be independent, and coming here is really good because im meeting new people and new staff, and everyones great. Christmas is in question, but there are other celebrations to come first, and at the hindu centre they are making sure everyone gets fed. People are very frightened. Some of the regular devotees at the temple we havent seen devotees at the temple we havent seen for months and months. Some of them have started to come out, but thats it, theyve stopped again.

And if life has to carry on like this, what will it do for people in the city and here in this community . How do you get it through to people . You know, its a killer disease. Isolate, follow the rules, they are there for a reason. As hospital beds keep filling up, the view gets more grim, and every day now, the alert levels rise, more communities, families, more people, find life is restricted again. Dan johnson, bbc more people, find life is restricted again. Danjohnson, bbc news, st anns in nottingham. Another area which could soon face tier 3 restrictions is tees valley in the north east. Fiona trott is in middlesbrough. Thats right, discussions have been taking place between Central Government and the mayors and Council Leaders of the five local authorities here, middlesbrough, stockton, darlington, hartlepool, redcar and cleveland. We understand discussions yesterday were around what a tier 3 would look like. There was fear from what a tier 3 would look like. There was fearfrom some what a tier 3 would look like. There was fear from some Council Leaders they didnt want restrictions to go as far as what we have seen in nottinghamshire, for example. We understand the discussions today will be focused around the Financial Support available from Central Government. I think Council Leaders here will be very clear in their explanation to Central Government that very high restrictions would have a severe impact on the local economy. Take middlesbrough for example, it has the highest rate of people claiming out of work benefits in the north east of england, the highest rate of Child Poverty too. Dont forget, a month ago, tougher restrictions were introduced here, this was before tier 2 was introduced, and i can tell you that one month on the Economic Impact of thatis one month on the Economic Impact of that is that the hospitality trade has seen a drop in business of around 70 . Council leaders are also very concerned about peoples mental health, long term unemployment is also an issue here. And long term Underlying Health issues, which make them vulnerable to catching coronavirus. Tier 3 is not what they wa nt coronavirus. Tier 3 is not what they want here. Council leaders understand it is necessary, though, and discussions are continuing. Fiona trott, thank you. Around one in a hundred people had coronavirus in england last week, according to new figures from the office for National Statistics. The trend across the uk is similar, with a slightly worse picture in Northern Ireland and a slightly better one in wales and scotland. The rise in infections is likely to put the government under pressure to introduce further measures. Our Health Correspondent katherine da costa reports. Royal liverpool hospitals among those which have had to cancel some routine treatments to cope with the number of Covid Patients becoming seriously ill. There is a glimmer of hope. New daily infections in the city have fallen slightly, though they are still at a high level. As West Yorkshire prepares to enter englands highest level of alert from monday, local leaders are keen to know how long they will have to stay there. Were watching obviously Liverpool City Region with a very keen interest. Theyve been in the longest, just over two weeks, which means that their review will be coming up within the next week, ten days or so. Im not clear whether theyll be in a position to come out and what that will actually mean. This is an area that everyone is very concerned about. Its now estimated one in 100 people in private homes in england had covid in the week to last friday, with around 52,000 new infections every day, up about a half on last weeks figure. In Northern Ireland, the office for National Statistics estimates one in 80 had the virus. It was one in 120 in wales and one in 140 in scotland. Cases are still highest in the north and are growing across england. But todays figures support the trend that theyve levelled off in the north east. Yet labour is continuing to put pressure on the government to go further. My concern is that the tier system is not Strong Enough to stop the infection rate going up and the alternative now is weeks or months of agony, frankly, in the tier system. So i do call on the Prime Minister to look again. If we have learned one thing from phase one, wave one of the virus, its that you need to act quickly and decisively. But ministers want to stick with a targeted approach. Even at the very high level, schools are being kept open, businesses are being kept open, we leave in reserve the option of taking further measures. But actually, what we really need now, and what i think the domestic but also the International Experience shows, is when youve got this focused approach we really need full compliance, full cooperation. The epidemic is still growing. While there is hope restrictions in some areas may be starting to slow the rise in infections, experts say the next four months will be tough. Katharine da costa, bbc news. The leader of the unite trade Union Len Mccluskey has described the decision to suspend former Leaderjeremy Corbyn from the labour party yesterday as wrong and unjust but appealed to members of his union to stay in the party. This morning sir keir starmer has again been defending the decision. Heres our Political Correspondent leila nathoo. Out in the cold, for now unwelcome in the party he led just seven months ago. Jeremy corbyns response to a report into how anti semitism was handled while he was in charge of labour saw him dramatically suspended. But his allies say the move threatens party unity and have called for him to be reinstated. I think it was unjust and hopefully, with discussions that can take place, we can resolve it and we can all move on. My message, really, to, literally, hundreds of thousands of our members, who are already expressing their anger, is to stay in the party. Shame on you yesterdays report by the equalities regulatorfound labour had broken the law in relation to how it dealt with anti semitism and said there had been a failure of leadership on the issue. It was this statement byjeremy corbyn, that anti semitism had been dramatically overstated by his opponents, that led to his membership being temporarily revoked. His successor says there will be an independent investigation but insisted there was no need to revisit old quarrels. Its not for me to say what process should be followed. Thats for the general secretary, or what sanction is in order. I dont want a civil war in the labour party. I dont think there is any need for one. I want to unite the party but im not going to renege on my commitment to root out anti semitism. Jeremy corbyns suspension allows keir starmer to show that labour is serious about zero tolerance towards anti semitism and that he is determined to make a clean break from the past. Hes already showed his willingness to take on the labour left, its figurehead and former leader now no exception, but the full consequences of the decision will not become clearfor some time. The partys investigation into Jeremy Corbyns comments will run its course. There is the possibility he could be expelled. That would be an explosive outcome. But for now, though, labour wants to avoid returning to the days of factional fighting. Leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. Thousands of soldiers and police are being deployed in france to protect places of worship and schools, following yesterdays knife attack in nice. Three people were killed at the notre dame basilica. The 21 year old suspect, whod only recently entered the country, is in hospital in a Critical Condition after being shot by police. Hugh schofield reports from paris. At the basilica of notre dame the people of nice have been coming to pay homage to the victims, to contemplate, and maybe to grieve a little. Translation the hate, so much hate. Please stop killing us. I cant take it any more. Excuse me, i cant take this any more, i have to go work. Sorry. Gunfire three people were brutally knifed to death after the attacker entered the church early yesterday morning. Police, who were quickly on the scene, shot and overpowered him and he is now in hospital. Among the victims was a brazilian woman in her 405. She struggled to a nearby cafe where, before dying, she said, please tell my children i love them. The attacker is a 21 year old tunisian man, brahim aouissaoui, who only came to france the day before. A month earlier he had arrived from north africa on the italian island of lampedusa and been given red cross papers. In the tunisian city of sfax his mother and brother said he was an Observant Muslim and went to europe to work. Translation he has been praying for about two and a half years now. He went to work and came home. He did not go out and socialise. He just used to bring coffee from work and drink it at home. Translation when we talked that night he said he just arrived in the area and its getting very late here. He went into the city by train at 6 30am the next morning just hours before the attack. In france, the language has toughened. The interior minister Gerald Darmanin said the country was now at war, not with a religion, he said, but with islamist ideology. The mayor of nice said france could not expect to win this war with the laws of peacetime. But in parts of the islamic world, its france thats seen as the aggressor. Governments, including turkeys, have condemned the attack. But there have been more demonstrations, like here in bangladesh, against president macrons defence of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and his crackdown on what he calls islamist separatism. Its an anti french climate thats extended to clear and explicit threats against france on jihadist websites and blogs. Yesterday in nice those threats became real. Hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. Bell tolls a major earthquake has hit the aegean with buildings damaged in the turkish resort city of izmir, home to about around 3 million people. The quake was felt from athens to istanbul from where orla guerinjoins us. Reports are still coming through. How much do we know . Certainly it was a powerful quake, Strong Enough for me to feel it here in istanbul, there was a distinct sense of the ground shifting beneath my feet. The Us Geological survey has put the strength at 7. 0 magnitude, local Earthquake Monitoring Services are saying it was 6. 6. Either way, sadly, it has been Strong Enough to bring down the several buildings in the city of izmir. Local officials are saying that about 20 buildings have collapsed. We dont yet know what kind of buildings they were. But there been video has appearing ina very but there been video has appearing in a very distressing video on social media, which is so far unverified, but in one case it shows what appears to be a story Apartment Building coming down, people running away in fear, running into the streets screaming in terror. We do know that a search is ongoing now in several of those buildings for survivors. We also know there has been a sea level rise. There is video, again on social media, showing flooding in parts of izmir, and there are reports coming in of fisher men who may be missing at sea. This is a risk people in turkey live with every day, it is one of the most seismically active countries. It sits on several active fault lines. But people here will be remembering that back in 1999 another powerful quake in izmir killed 17,000 people. So a lot of concern today. No indication yet that there will be casualties on that there will be casualties on that scale. But certainly there are concerns about loss of life. O rla concerns about loss of life.

As nottinghamshire becomes the latest region to enter the highest tier of coronavirus restrictions drinkers gathered in the city centre before the measures came into force. And still to come on the programme in the run up to the womens fa cup final this weekend, we talk to the player whos helped both teams get to wembley. Coming up on bbc news england netballers stay positive, despite losing their series against the world champions new zealand, with defeat in the second match of their three test series in hamilton. Across europe, stricter measures are coming into force to deal with the second wave of coronavirus. In paris there were huge traffic jams as people tried to leave the city before the latest lockdown began. And politicians in some other countries are calling for even tighter restrictions including in one of the worst hit, belgium from where our europe correspondent gavin lee reports. The exodus from paris last night. Those who could afford to, leaving to spend a second lockdown elsewhere. In the city small groups of protesters gathered, angry at the stay at home ruling as some prepared to disobey the measures. Translation we dont want to be locked down. We are sick of the cu rfew locked down. We are sick of the curfew and everything. We understand that its for the disease but we shouldnt get carried away. From midnight tonight we all have to stay at home. Its too much. Im not going to, im going to stay here. For the next month across france, only essential businesses will be open and people will have to fill out forms to leave home for basic needs. Here in belgium a second lockdown is also expected to be announced in the coming hours. Injusta announced in the coming hours. Injust a few announced in the coming hours. In just a few hours the high streets of brussels and elsewhere across the country are due to close. The government is meeting now to decide on the severity of the new lockdown. For the size of its population, belgium has the worst infection rate in europe. A quarter of people being tested a re in europe. A quarter of people being tested are positive for covid 19, and there are more people in hospital now than at any point during the first wave. In germany, europes biggest economy has been the best equipped to cope during the pandemic, with a much larger health care system. But now a partial lockdown will begin there on monday. The bars, restaurants, Sports Centres close in. The chancellor Angela Merkel saying it was the only way to prevent a health emergency. Translation for the coming times i wish for one thing that we all show solidarity and empathy towards one another and with one another. This is the only way we will get through this historical crisis. This will be hard, it will be four long, difficult months, but it will end. It has now come to light that a new strain of the virus, first linked to farm workers in spain, accounts for the majority of new cases around europe. Scientists tracking the pathogen suggest people returning from Summer Holidays in spain played a key role in its spread. It then seems that the virus was able to move into the local population and spread around spain, as people were eager to visit friends and family after the long lockdown. When travel then picked up over the summer it was able to jump into other countries. Leaders across the eu met online last night to work out how to handle the second wave. The Eu Commission president ursula von der leyen urged europeans not to travel around the continent, a far cry from the summer when travel was encouraged to help the struggling tourism sector. After the decrease of the first wave, during summer, we obviously have relaxed some measures too rapidly. For the next month large parts of europe will be in hibernation state. If people can stick to it and the covid rate falls, the hope is to allow small gatherings again by christmas. Gavin lee, bbc news, brussels. The Scottish Government has put out new guidance on the wearing of masks in schools. The changes will affect Senior Secondary School pupils aged 15 to 18. From monday, those pupils in areas under tier 3 or 4 should wear face coverings in class. Adults in all in primary and secondary schools are being told to wear face coverings when its not possible to maintain physical distancing. After eight months in operation, furlough known as thejob retention scheme comes to an end tomorrow. At the height of the coronavirus lockdown, nearly a third of the uk workforce was having part of their wages paid by the government. One area which was reliant on the scheme was crawley in sussex, home to many people who work at Gatwick Airport. Our Business Correspondent emma simpson has been to crawley to find out what impact the scheme has had. Gatwick airport dominates the landscape, and the local economy depends on it so when the planes stopped flying, the impact was dramatic. Horrendous, scary. We suddenly became just very unsure of our future. At this hotel, bookings collapsed, weddings postponed. Weve got a plane just going over and we now get quite excited when we hear a plane. The owners kept things going the furlough scheme saved them. I dont think we would have survived without it because. I assume my only other option would have been to make everybody redundant. Some workers he had to let go, and he still has five on furlough. Now that the new employment support scheme has been revised and improved, were hoping that we can keep them going its our intention, simply because were going to be very busy next year, as well. So we dont want to have to make any further redundancies. Down the road in crawley, more than 40 of the workforce was on furlough in august. This town was doing pretty nicely before the pandemic unemployment was low. But there are now more than three times as many people claiming benefits compared to this time last year the furlough scheme couldnt save every job. Chris worked as a security manager at Gatwick Airport and was furloughed, before being made redundant. Started there when i was 18, so almost all of my adult life has been in the airport working, so it was tough. But chris used his time off to grow his new business a comic shop with his former colleague. Theyve now taken on two other ex airport staff. We will come back from it. I think the towns Strong Enough to survive. Yeah, absolutely. Until things get back to normal. This Beauty Clinic used to get lots of cabin crew and holiday makers through its doors. As a limited company director, melissa had to survive off her savings instead of furlough. Shes found new clients now theres just one problem. Im really worried about another lockdown because we were the last to come back last time. So. Well, because were close contact and everything that were doing is so close to the face, you know, it did take so long for us to come back. I just. Yeah, pray pray theres not another lockdown. An airport town trying to weather the storm, and hoping for brighter days ahead. Emma simpson, bbc news, crawley. The Us Election Campaign is entering its final weekend. Though more than 80 million americans have already cast their vote, donald trump and joe biden are still travelling to key states like florida that could swing the result in their favour. Peter bowes has the latest from the campaign trail. Back in his home state again, and another push for votes in florida. Donald trump narrowly won here in 2016, but the democrats have gained ground and the race Withjoe Biden is neck and neck. We are going to win four more years in the white house. Applause and we are going on to win a record share of the hispanic american vote. You see whats happening . The president attracts large crowds, but with little social distancing and few masks. Donald trump is confident he can defy the opinion polls by focusing on the economy rather than the coronavirus. This is historic prosperity. Another major tax cut to go along with the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. And record job growth. And joe bidens plan is to deliver punishing lockdowns. Hes going to lock you down forjoe biden, there is no issue more important than taking control of the virus. Hes also been campaigning in florida, but with smaller drive in audiences and a tone that mocks the president s approach to covid 19. Donald trump has waved the white flag, abandoned our families and surrendered to this virus, but the American People never give up we nevergive in and we surely dont cower. And neither will i. Donald trumpjust had a super spreader event here again, spreading more than just coronavirus. He is spreading more thanjust coronavirus, he is spreading division and discord. In this divided nation, the coronavirus pandemic is not only polarising, but getting much worse. The country has just recorded its highest number of new cases in a single day since the outbreak began, and tensions are running high. With many people nervous about the outcome of the election and the possibility of civil unrest, the retail giant walmart has decided to take guns off its store shelves, although they will still be available to buy. A spokesman said. We have moved ourfirearms and ammunition of the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers.

Its an unusual game for citys chloe kelly, because shes actually helped both teams reach the final. Alex howell has been to meet her. I cant wait to get going now. Im absolutely buzzing. What a day to be at wembley and the fa cup final. Chloe kelly is in the weird position of having helped both teams get to the final on sunday.

But im here at man city now and want to get thejob done im here at man city now and want to get the job done at this club. She will not be holding back because she knows the opposition.
