To a £35 million shortfall. A magnificent seven from liverpools youngsters as teenager curtisjones scores twice in their thrashing of lincoln city as the manager describes him as an Exceptional Talent. Good morning. An autumnal day to day, risk northerly wind and heavy rain around the east coast of england, more details on about ten minutes. Its friday the 25th of september. Our top story. A new plan to safeguard what the chancellor calls viable jobs has been criticised by some of the Industries Hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Some retail, hospitality and performing arts businesses say rishi sunaks new emergencyjobs scheme doesnt go far enough. Jon donnison reports. In these tough economic times, drowning their sorrows last night but across england, it was early doors as the new nationwide 10pm cu rfew for doors as the new nationwide 10pm curfew for pubs and bars kick in. The last hour. Make the most of it. Early night, watch a movie. As a student, it is a bit annoying, freshers and everything, but i do think, id ratherjust be safer than like going out and risking. To be honest, people have started going ten oclock anyway, with the university, quite a bit. It comes as the chancellor rishi sunak announced a new package of Financial Support. How are you going to pay for all this, chancellor . But businesses are going to have to take more of the strain themselves. In october, the final month of the current furlough scheme, the government will be paying 60 of workers salaries, with Companies Paying 20 . But from november, under the chancellors new scheme, its companies that will pay a minimum of 55 with the government paying a maximum of 22 . And employees will have to work at least third of the normal hours. The chief executive of next has welcomed the move but is warning thousands of traditional retailjobs may become unviable because of the ship to on line sales. I think its important that employers begin to pay a little bit more for these schemes and employs have a little bit less because there is a risk that we will not do it right. But others say the government is cutting supported a vital time. We are facing a badge at the end of october and a scheme in front of his now doesnt seem to stack up and go far enough stop what we cant do is have somebody come and work for 33 of their time and we have to pay for 55 of their time, itjust doesnt make economic sense. So as people prepare for what the many will be a difficult winter, the many will be a difficult winter, the health and the wealth of the nation remain intrinsically linked. Our Political Correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. Leila, the chancellor must have expected this type of criticism. How will he respond to it . There was always going to be criticism. I think a few things were Crystal Clear from what the chancellor said yesterday. Firstly, explicitly that he couldnt save everyjob, he explicitly that he couldnt save every job, he couldnt explicitly that he couldnt save everyjob, he couldnt save every business. He talked about a new context so if you cast your mind back to the beginning of the pandemic, ministers then were preparing for what they thought was going to be a temporary disruption that huge intervention. Now the economy is undergoing a permanent adjustment to coronavirus. He said it would be wrong to sustain jobs that otherwise wouldnt be viable in this new climate. Now we got this targeted scheme and it businesses that are able to operate but perhaps are struggling. There are sectors that cannot open, there will be questions about how much of an Incentive Companies really have, if they are still having to pay workers for hours that are not worked, will this be enough to actually give them the incentive to keep people on rather than that people go but i think it is clear from what the chancellor is saying that he wants to put the Government Support package on a more sustainable footing to be able to carry on into the future as restrictions continue. Thank you very much. We will be talking to stephen barclay, the chief secretary to the treasury at 730 later this morning. University students in scotland are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend following covid i9 outbreaks in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. Hundreds of students have tested positive, and many more are self isolating. Theyve been told they will be breaking the law if they leave their Student Accommodation and return home to visit their families. I think its obviously the right advice, we should be maintaining social distance, but i dont think its very realistic. I think if there is a limit the people to go out to ten oclock, i dont see why it should exclude students. After 7 00 well talk to two Glasgow University students who are self isolating after one of them tested positive for coronavirus. We will find that the impact as they try to get used to University Life. Its tough. The income of the royal family has been hit by coronavirus with a drop in the number of visitors to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The royal accounts published today show a potential £35 million shortfall. Our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell reports. The most expensive royal tour of the Accounting Period was the duke and duchess of sussexs to southern africa. Along with baby archie, they visited south africa and harry travelled on to botswana, angola and malawi. It would prove to be the last tour is working royals and cost almost £250,000. In january, last tour is working royals and cost almost £250,000. Injanuary, unable to secure a last minute scheduled flight, to secure a last minute scheduled flight, the prince of wales travelled by charter to amount to his consult condolences after the death of the sultan at a cost of more than £200,000 and supporting patriot unions proved expensive for both the incest royal and andrew. Incest and flew to rome to watch a Six Nations Rugby mac match, cost £16,000, and the duke backed up a similar amount, watching the open in portrush Northern Ireland. In total the sovereign grant for the year 201920 totalled 82 the sovereign grant for the year 2019 20 totalled 82 point £4 million, but the amount of taxpayer money used to fund the monarchy minus things like security. The ongoing refurbishment of Buckingham Palace which over the same. Cost £33 million. The coronavirus is expected to impact future accounts, with an expected £20 million shortfall to pa perless expected £20 million shortfall to paperless improvements and a £15 million drop in income with reduced openings and palaces. Addressing the shortfall, the keeper of the privy purse said there was no intention of asking for extra funding and they would look to manage the impact of the pandemic through their own effo rts the pandemic through their own efforts and efficiencies. The duke and duchess of sussex now live in los angeles but as for their uk home, the palace confirmed they paid a lump sum to the sovereign grant to cover the £2. 4 million with the abridgement and rent at a commercial rate for Frogmore Cottage. Exactly how much rent they are being charged may not be revealed in next years accounts. Rio dejaneiros carnival parade for next year has been postponed indefinitely because of the pandemic. The carnival, which attracts millions of visitors, was scheduled for the middle of february, but organisers say it cant be staged without a vaccine. More than 138,000 people in brazil have died with covid 19. Thats one of the worlds highest death tolls. Marine biologists working alongside fishermen and volunteers have now rescued 94 of the pilot whales which have been stranded off the west coast of tasmania. They are hoping to escort twelve more out to sea. The team says its hard to know exactly how many whales have died in the mass beaching, but its estimated to be around 350. This Years Mercury prize has been won by the singer songwriter, Michael Kiwanuka. His self titled album saw off competition from artists including stormzy and dua lipa to win the £25,000 pound prize. He first came to attention after supporting adele on her tour in 2011, and winning the bbcs sound of 2012. It was a case of third time lucky for the london born musician, winning a prestigious award for his third album. It was a happy ending toa third album. It was a happy ending to a prolonged period of self doubt for the singer songwriter. Ive a lwa ys for the singer songwriter. Ive always been kind of worried about my place in the musical landscape, where i fit in, all those kind of questions and with this one, ijust kind of made the decision that i wa nted kind of made the decision that i wanted to not really worry about those things, and create my own lane, you know . Kiwanuka is upbeat at times, and other times so for. There are hints of rob dillon. There might bea there are hints of rob dillon. There might be a song that feels just a little bit subpar compared to all the rest but there were no dud moments on the southern. It is a musically adventurous and meticulously produced album by Royal Academy of using about turned Mercury Prize winning artist. Think of an heroic animal and you might go for a loyal police dog or perhaps a brave army horse. But how about a landmine clearing rat . An african pouched rat called magawa has been awarded a gold medalfor bravery and devotion to duty after sniffing out 39 landmines and 28 other pieces of explosive material in cambodia. He was trained by a belgian charity and has now been given the gallantry award, said to be the animal equivalent of the george cross, by the veterinary charity, the pdsa. Ita it a smart rat. Thats a very, smart apparently. Good morning, sarah. That was by no means an odd segue. Good morning to you. The weather todayis good morning to you. The weather today is certainly feeling a brisk northerly wind. Got low pressure close to the east coast heavy rain across parts of in east anglia. Quite a bit of sunshine and weather. Perhaps if you are into wales and south west england, east anglia into lincolnshire, gus about 50, 60 Miles Per Hour around the coast, combined with that heavy rainfall, which could well cause a bit of localised flooding, potentially some disruption today. Damages around the east coast, about 11 degrees but the most of us, typically about 13 to 16 degrees. We got the rain lingering, particularly into northcote norfolk and lincolnshire. It will be quite a chilly night. Template is well down into low single figures, even in our towns and cities, a touch cooler than that in the countryside. Still rather cool through the saturday and sunday. Most places seeing a great deal of dry weather but we will keep fairly heavy rainfall in brisk winds both on saturday and into monday. A bit of a mixed bag. Do watch up those brisk northerly winds in the east. I wore a woolly hat for the first time in ages. Did you . I know friends were playing golf. The term has come. You know when the bubble haveis has come. You know when the bubble have is out, you are done for. Dig in the back of the covers and get your woolies out. A rat and a hat on brea kfast. Your woolies out. A rat and a hat on breakfast. You said it. John said that. Lets take a look at todays papers. The times says britain is facing a wave of redundancies following the end of the furlough scheme. Mr sunak has warned there will need to be a more permanent adjustment to the economy, and suggested that in the long term tax rises will be needed to balance the books, says the paper. The Daily Telegraph reports the chancellor gave employers a harsh reality check while announcing the new scheme. According to the paper the office for budget responsibility has estimated unemployment could peak at more than 13 per cent next year meaning four Million People would be out of work. The daily mail highlights the chancellors call to the nation to learn to live with coronavirus without fear saying our lives can no longer be put on hold. The mail praises mr sunak for saying what so many have been thinking. And the glasgow times reports on the situation with students in lockdown in the city, with some residents describing a party hell, that got worse as restrictions there became tighter. As weve been hearing, it was early doors in england last night as pubs had to close by 10 oclock. Its all part of the new rules to curb the spread of coronavirus. Breakfasts tim muffett was out in brighton to see what drinkers there thought of the change. Maggie maples bar in brighton, where a packed dance floor and rows of punters at the barber once common site. But now a distant memory. For deflated, frustrated, we are guiding to having to learn again. We kind of. We found a new way of operating and we kind of, we mastered it, and now we are having to put in more restrictions, which means people have to think about coming out differently one. 10 1 is oui coming out differently one. 10 1 is our main three hours on a friday night and saturday. This wasnt the University Experience these first year students expected. University experience these first year students expectedm University Experience these firstyear students expected. It is just a shame it has happened at this time in our lives. This summer was getting back to normal, we were all being encouraged to come out, so i think it gave people a loss of hope that, 0k, think it gave people a loss of hope that, ok, we would get a good younie experience, but that has, obviously, completely changed and got out the window. Taxi driver Andrew Peters has had a brutal summer. Now his industry faces even more challenges. The drivers are absolute despair at the moment. It is going to have a massive impact. It has been hard anyway, the weekends, and with people suddenly now having to put down their paints at a quarter to ten and go home means there will be no nightlife at all in the city later on for the night drivers. Drivers are you still working up until about 3am, getting people home, and the business will not be there at all. It is just finished. At the line macro and lobster things had been picking up. It is stuffed. It is stuffed. We put a lot of effort to open. We are Still Closing at 12. But we are doing well. Now, again, we start again from zero and we have to wait and see how the customers will react. I think everyone isjust going to customers will react. I think everyone is just going to start earlier and then get home earlier. Last orders it hasjust gone ten oclock, then you enforce closing time for pubs, bars, and response. For most people decide to go home. Ten oclock has just happened. For most people decide to go home. Ten oclock hasjust happened. What you make of it . It is pretty brutal, to be honest. Itjust makes us think less or drink earlier. As it ruined your evening . No, were still a lovely time. For some the pavement is the new pub. Yes, so, we got a takeaway. Now we are staying here. For the foreseeable future, nights out will be finishing earlier. Covid continues to upend our way of life. Tim muffett, bbc news, brighton. I guess the question is how does that, cani control v virus, does it make a difference, but what is the knock on forjobs for the staff if places are closing earlier, will they need as many people working there . That leads into the chancellors latest plan to replace the dolo scheme, subsidising only viable jobs, plan to replace the dolo scheme, subsidising only viablejobs, as he is describing them. Were trying unravel that this morning. We will speak to the treasury secretary later on. Ben is in Central London for us. Good morning. Good morning to you. We are in a place called swingers, right in Central London. It is a crazy golf venue, it has a bar and restau ra nt crazy golf venue, it has a bar and restaurant and that sort of thing. We will use it to try to explain who are the winners and losers in the announcements from the chancellor yesterday. There are the tighter restrictions but also extra support from the government as far as jobs is concerned. But the chancellor making it clear that only viable jobs would be saved. He said he cannot save every business nor every job. So what we know about the job support scheme . The one that replaces the furlough scheme . It will get people back to work. Those who are working but working fewer hours. Employees happy working at least one third of the normal hours. What happens if your employer will top up some and the government will top up some and the government will top up some and the government will top up some. But it isnt as generous as the old fellow scheme. You will get about three quarters of your salary. It expects employers to pay a lot more of it so the taxpayer plays a smaller proportion. Even so it doesnt come cheap. It will cost taxpayers about £1. 2 million every month. We think about 4 Million People will take advantage of it. Just to give you a sense that is about 3 billion or four bow just to give you a sense that is about 3 billion orfour bow £4 billion cheaper than the old furlough scheme. It gives an idea of how much it will cost us to keep those jobs that are viable, in the words of the chancellors. We spoke toa words of the chancellors. We spoke to a Business Owner in liverpool who told us it probably wont benefit him. I think any help is welcome. I think this will make almost a zero difference to my businesss ability to keep staff. Staff costs are a large element, the biggest element of my costa space. They have insurance, utilities, staff. So i cannot see most businesses managing their way through that through to their way through that through to the end of march and, potentially, beyond. What is going to pay those bills is going to be customers coming through al dour. Bills is going to be customers coming through al dour. A lot of hospitality businesses either dont make any money or lose money for nine months of the year and they make it for three months of the year, october december, this is pretty calamitous for businesses like that. Our door. So it is going to be tough, really tough. Good businesses with good people will fail. It is up to the governments, with landlords, to ensure this is a correction and not a calamity. And my real, genuine concern is for most of hospitality it is looking like a calamity, really. Real concerns, particularly for those Industries Like hospitality but also things like conferences, they will take place because of that rule of six. And concerns with things like theatre and entertainment. This place is normally full of donors, there is a food and a bar. They also rely on big roots coming after work to socialise and teambuilding activities. Mac is with us. You opened last night for the First Time Since march. How has it been . What have you had to do . It has been a really interesting six months. We closed for 101 days now. So it has been challenging. We could have openedin been challenging. We could have opened injuly been challenging. We could have opened in july but been challenging. We could have opened injuly but we been challenging. We could have opened in july but we wanted to with Central London to start to repopulate. We had people in the offices, in order to make a business offices, in order to make a business of the size work. We have been planning to reopen, it has been going well, but the last two weeks have thrown curve balls going well, but the last two weeks have thrown curveballs at us with the new rule of six comedy curfew, having to wear masks, those sorts of things are making life more difficult. You thought Central London would be a bit quieter. Took me through the rules. Closing at ten, the rule of six, so a place where you want to group together like this it cannot happen. The rule of six is a massive blow for us. We relocated to massive groups. We habitually do groups of 20 30, up to 200 people. That is kind of our bread and butter that is what we do over the christmas period. This will coming in effectively meant that christmas isnt really going to happen for us. Last week was a bit ofa happen for us. Last week was a bit of a scramble to cope with that and to cancel bookings, which is quite difficult to do. We found out that everyone has to wear masks in the venue, which is fine, but it is difficult in a venue like this where we difficult in a venue like this where we have a lot of communicating with the staff and the desire to do with a mask. Any curfew, closing at 10pm, we a mask. Any curfew, closing at 10pm, we have lost about one third of our evening business. When you are only opening a few days a week at the moment, it a chunk of revenue, which isa moment, it a chunk of revenue, which is a real challenge. Good luck for now. Thank you very much. There you have it. A view from hospitality in terms of what those rules mean. Some benefits as far as a vat cut, that proved to be really difficult for businesses that make all of their money now in that run up to christmas. And in an interesting twist of the tail, this place used to be the flag shea flagship bhs on oxford street. It shows the move from retail to experiences and things like this, but nonetheless what the past few weeks have proven is it is not easy for anyone to make money right now. More from me a little later. Ill see you soon. This is an experience no one expected. We will see you later. Interesting to see how businesses adapt. That is what we were seeing later on. 6 24am is the time. One trade which has sadly continued to thrive despite the pandemic is illegal drug dealing often using the so called county lines system. Thats when organised criminals in the big cities expand their market by forcing Vulnerable Children to sell drugs for them in smaller towns. The police have just completed a week of action against the gangs, which saw a thousand arrests and drugs worth over a Million Pounds seized. Sian lloyd reports. Police they will be told its just a day. But that could turn into two weeks. So have a missing person enquiry. So we need to keep the kids say. Doug gill is going to steal class a, they will deal with they can make money out of. Race to seize drugs and find the gun gains who deal them. Isi would drugs and find the gun gains who dealthem. Isi would probably say heroin. A slightly brownish colour. They will be nice to you for a bit, buying and nice stuff, giving you money and that, and they will tell you because you have done all of this i need you to do this for me. So they will tell you to go on a 20 different cities and go to the south and sell drugs. Young people look for father figures that they never had and that is what these people become. They become the people who offer them what they want, whether that be monetary value or clothes or evenjust that be monetary value or clothes or even just attention. Its something which these people are fully aware of and use to their advantage. Here police are targeting criminal networks that exploit the vulnerable to traffic drugs from the West Midlands into smaller cities and towns. It is known as county lines. Would it surprise you if i said young people, children as young as seven, are being exploited and groomed . Historically, children in ca re have groomed . Historically, children in care have been targeted. Helen is a Police Officer who has seen young people end up in prison and even lose their lives after getting involved in Current County lines scams. This was a toy childrens heart home is to help these young people understand the risks. They blackmail you, they use you for certain things. Its a bit scary. How is it scary . Because of the end of the day you could end up getting stabbed or losing your life to it. The 43 Police Forces came together to target those who run and control cou nty to target those who run and control county lines. Here officers from the West Midlands police work with collea g u es West Midlands police work with colleagues in south wales. They are checking out a train, trying to identify people who traffic drugs along a suspected line operating out of the midlands into swansea. This was a week long crackdown, building on efforts that continued during the lockdown. Coronavirus didnt stop the gains who run county lines stop but police say the number of arrests that may have increased since march. Cou nty that may have increased since march. County lines continue to operate. I think the criminals have evolved what they have done, maybe they are not travelling so far, more on your doorstep, they are probably using more local people to become involved in that. But we are aware of that and that is what we are trying to target. During the week, more than £1 million of drugs were seized under a Record Number of lines disrupted. The aim is to make a long term impact and prevent new drugs roots springing up in their place. Sian lloyd, bbc news. Something we will keep a cross over the coming weeks. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Im tarah welsh. The impact of coronavirus is having an effect on many young peoples Mental Health, according to a survey in one borough. In barnard, more than two fifths of young people questioned felt their well being had been affected by the lockdown, with education and exams a key concern. Extra measures have been put in place by counselling services to support them. Next, the loud revving of engines has become such a problem in one borough that their installing high tech acoustic cameras. Kensington and chelsea sees many supercar drivers showing off their vehicles. Anyone caught behaving anti socially, could be fined or have their car seized. The English National opera has opened a drive in event at alexandra palace. It opened on saturday and has been showing la boheme. Its the first of its kind in europe and allows audiences to experience the opera from the safety of their cars. The acting head of the england and wales Court Service, has apologised, after a black barrister from essex was mistaken for a defendant and challenged three times in a court building, in one day. Alexandra wilson tweeted that she was absolutely exhausted, after staff at a Magistrates Court repeatedly failed to realise she was a lawyer. Iam, quite i am, quite often ive been mistaken for the defendant and what, you know, yesterday actually made me realise that, you know, it kind of made me appreciate that, actually, its not particularly nice being a defendant in court either because, actually, everyone should be treated with respect.

This is a summary of the main news stories. A new plan to safeguard what the chancellor calls viable jobs has been criticised by some of the Industries Hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Some retail, hospitality and performing arts businesses say rishi sunaks new emergencyjobs scheme doesnt go far enough. He said he hopes the plan will benefit large numbers. University students in scotland are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend following covid 19 outbreaks in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. Hundreds of students have tested positive, and many more are self isolating. Theyve been told they will be breaking the law if they leave their Student Accommodation and return home to visit their families. Doctor Rosemary Leonard is here, time to talk to our gp. Good morning. How are you . Im fine, thank you. Excellent. One of the things were talking about at the moment is students in scotland now being told that if they dont isolate, if there is a case of coronavirus in amongst the bubble or where they are living, they could lose their place at university. Do you think these quite harsh but clear measures now do need to be put in place . Because of the whole bubble system, particularly around stu d e nts bubble system, particularly around students and the young. The virus does seem to be spreading fast among young people and the only way to stop that is for people to self isolate, for those who test positive, to make sure they stay indoors and those around them stay isolated away from other people. The only way to stop the spread. Lets just a fact. But it is inevitable, isnt it, do you think with children going back to school, students in halls of residence and bubbles, almost every week, you could get a case renewal bubble, there is a case stop our productive is that . The virus is spreading among young people but the good news it is very rarely serious among young people. Its important to stop it spreading to the vulnerable, the elderly, those with Underlying Health conditions, unlikely to suffer much more serious diseases from the virus. Thats the idea of trying to isolate and keep away from the Vulnerable People. In terms of the shift of how we should be responding, that the hour number has risen. The so called second wave is upon us. As christmas approaches, when he will be thinking, can i bring my children back Home University . And we have a family christmas . Can you think where we are at right now, reacting to these restrictions and taking them even more seriously austin mark i think the most important thing we need to be doing is protecting Vulnerable People. If youve got a student coming back from university, and there are going to be far more cases amongst students at university. Be very careful, if youve got granny. The person you need to be really protecting is the elderly and the older members of your family. Thats what i think we need to be looking it. My personal view is the Vulnerable People, the government havent said. The most Vulnerable People need to start thinking about shielding themselves again and i know a lot of other doctors feel the same way. In terms of Mental Health, weve seen the impact that has, particularly around celebrating the periods, for seasons, thats going to have a knock on impact. Absolutely. We are seeing the Mental Health issues. There is no easy a nswer to health issues. There is no easy answer to any of this but now particularly, as the nights are drawing in, people are endorsed more. We know the virus spreads more while people are indoors so if you are inside with your family, keep your distance, particularly the olden Vulnerable People, from the youngsters that might be spreading the virus. Rosemary, weve been talking about the flu vaccine. There were concerns about who would be able to get them, and whether that would be possible ina timely and whether that would be possible in a timely fashion. Other vaccines m, in a timely fashion. Other vaccines in, are they in the fridge is, will they start to be administered. We got our delivery two weeks ago. Its very different. A year in advance, a set amount, we have divide. We only buy what we think going to need. We have to be delivered in batches. I cant bring the overflow and hopefully in my fridge and house. We get them coming in batches, and what we cant do now is have a walk in clinic, have a saturday morning clinic. What were doing is inviting in the most Vulnerable People. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, those are our priority at the moment. Onto the elderly. Then we will be doing those aged 50 64. We dont think will have enough. The government says we are having to have more vaccine, but i havent heard where. There is huge demand for the vaccine this year, far greater than in previous years. Very sensibly, people are saying, i wa nted sensibly, people are saying, i wanted because of coronavirus going around. Weve only ordered in. We are anticipating that were going to run out in surgery. Doctor rosemary, we talk to most weeks. I was going to talk to mike about this football in the rapidly. Dont underestimate how well people know there are. I was put into a certain category of my size. That was literally rather apt. Of before kickoff, the goalkeeper noticed something was wrong with the goalposts. The goalposts were too small. They were measured, and indeed were found lacking in the size department, so they had to be changed tottenham have made it through to the final round of Europa League qualifying but it felt like an up hill struggle for them at times. It was 1 all until mid way through the second half, when son heung min, and then harry kane came to the rescue. Theyjust need to get past, Maccabi Haifa now, and theyll have a place in the Europa League main Competition Group stage. The goals were fine in latvia but it took celtic until the last minute of their game against riga to find one. Mohamed elyounoussi the scorer. Rangers are also through but aberdeen and motherwell are out. All the details are on the bbc sport website. Liverpool will face arsenal in the next round of the league cup, after a 7 2 thrashing of lincoln city. Youngster curtis jones, scored twice, to earn the man of the match award manaerjurgen klopp hailed him as an Exceptional Talent and said theyd be having a lot of fun with him in the future. Manchester city and aston villa are also through. Yesterday on breakfast we looked at the uncertain future facing some Non League Football clubs, after the news that fans wouldnt be returning in october. Without supporters, clubs at this level, cant afford to put matches on. But the National League season could still start, on october 3rd if they get Financial Support from the government, which is the only way some will survive. Its important to recognise the importance to these towns and cities, not just the financial contribution, the social community, isa contribution, the social community, is a huge part of each of these locations identity. I think to allow a lot of these clubs to disappear, some of them have been around for 100, 150 some of them have been around for 100,150 years, it some of them have been around for 100, 150 years, it would just be a travesty. It was only last month that Ronnie Osullivan was bemoaning the lack of up and coming talent in snooker. Well, last night he discovered, one out there. Aaron hill is 18, hes from cork in ireland and he wasnt even born when osullivan won the first of his six World Championships back in 2001 but he beat him, at the european masters last night. Hill only turned professional in march. Andy murray has been drawn against another three time grand slam champion, Stan Wawrinka in the first round of the french open the man he played in his last match in paris, three years ago. It was a really tough five set defeat in the semi finals and murray said this week, it was that brutal match that turned out to be the end of his hip. It was also pretty much the end of wawrinkas knee, so theyre both on their way back from major surgery. The french open is starting. Im excited about that. It will be good to watch. It feels like things are happening. Wejust to watch. It feels like things are happening. We just need tvs to watch. It feels like things are happening. Wejust need tvs now, dont we . We will get back out there. Thanks very much. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. A rainbow, thats what we need this morning. Indeed, good morning. Many of us will see some rainbows around the neck few days because we will see that some sunshine around in blustery showers but a real case of mixed fortunes, an east west split over the next couple of days as some of us, quite heavy persistent spells of us, quite heavy persistent spells of rain and other areas, quite a bit of rain and other areas, quite a bit of sunshine but what were going notice is the strength of that cold northerly wind. We had some really heavy downpours, thunderstorms and large hail over the past 24 hours for some of us, all thanks to this cloud in the satellite image circulating around a deep area of low pressure. This area of low pressure is going to be there, its slow moving, sitting out to the east. , the wind coming in from the northerly direction, particularly parts of Eastern England, east anglia and the south east. Not only windy but also very wet here as well persistent rain but away from those eastern of england, also seem quite a lot of dry weather. One or two rogue showers, especially towards the west. We concentrate towards those wind gusts, east anglia, 45 55 Miles Per Hour, around the coast. Maybe and ensures show, could cause Flooding Issues as well as those strong winds as well. Temperatures 11 or so around that east coast but the most of us, typically around 13 16 celsius. There may well be some sunshine, cool with that northerly wind. Into this evening and tonight, things dont change too much in a hurry. Weve still got that rain persisting around some of those eastern counties of england but elsewhere, a lot of dry weather, clear skies and temperatures falling well down into the mid single figures so it chilly start to your saturday, a touch of frost across parts of Scotland First thing. After that start, saturday looks good, rain angling across some eastern counties. Down towards kent as well, it does tend to ease a little bit later on in the day. Away from those eastern counties of england, some sunshine. A bit warmer than today but only by one degree or so. A similar day on sunday. Showers lingering to east anglia, quite cloudy, the central and Eastern England with the best of the sunshine on sunday, further north and west across the uk. Temperatures about 11 for 10 degrees, not quite as easy as when we get to sunday stop monday and tuesday, mostly dry and settled, it continues to be autumnal, rather showery and cool through the second half of next week. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Lets get some more reaction now to the chancellor rishi sunaks measures to protect what he calls viablejobs during the pandemic, which he laid out yesterday. The lib dems treasury spokesperson is Christine Jardine and she joins us ahead of her partys conference which is taking place online and starts today. Thanks forjoining us. The chancellor said i cant save every job and every business, but i will say those that are viable. He seems to have the support of union and Business Leaders. Do you support him . We welcome some of what the chancellor has said because we have the liberal democrats have been calling for an extension to the furlough scheme for some time and for him to do exactly what he appears to have done, to look at the scheme in germany. But what we would like to see is a more flexible scheme, setting the bar at 30 makes it quite difficult for companies to qualify that. There was no mention of training, there was no mention of the excluded, the millions of people who have no support at all for six months or more. That means we looked at. Also we need some incentives for investment for companies who might be looking at germany, france, we wa nt be looking at germany, france, we want them to come here and that is something we should be looking at as well. We are going to transition out of this into a stronger, green economy. Training is an interesting one, because it may not be the time to be doing training programmes where people cant gather in classrooms, necessarily, and to training. Maybe that is something for the future not to deal with right now. What were looking at is how we transition this economy into whatever our economy is going to look like after covid 19. And what we should be looking at now is how we should be looking at now is how we ensure that we up skill, that we have the jobs we ensure that we up skill, that we have thejobs in place, that we create jobs. That we train people so that we are ready to move into this next phase. You dont have to set up the training scheme right now, but you need to have a plan. The other big thing that is missing is the plan for the future. The chancellor has talked about the ferla scheme being a bridge for the economy, but he hasnt told us yet where that ridge is going to take us and what it is going to look like on the other side. That is why i dont believe he should have abandoned the budget. People need to know that the government has a plan, that the government has a plan, that the government has a strategy for the future to ensure that industries dont die. You are talking about the autumn statement, which isnt going to happen. He said there was no point doing that at the moment. I suppose his argument is, look, we are basically firefighting a pandemic at the moment, we can only deal almost week to week. He dealt with his statement yesterday on the job situation and, maybe, accents, possibly, to wait a bit longer before you give a more comprehensive financial outlook. The other problem is that it shows, again, a disrespect from this government, a misunderstanding, somehow, of the devolution settlement and the fact that the administrations in scotland, wales, Northern Ireland, they need to know what their finances are going to be like but the settlement from the government, the settlement from the government, the uk government is going to be. But i do think this is the time when we need to know what the governments Long Term Strategy is. There are gaping holes in this plan in the same way there have been gaping holes that have allowed 3 Million People in this country to be without any support and those are the things we need the chancellor to address. It is difficult for you to cut through right now, there is only one issue that everyone is talking with about you are four years away from an election, you have an a p pa re ntly from an election, you have an apparently resurgent labour party. How do you, as the liberal democrats, under your new leader two, get heard . Up figures at the moment, like everybody else, is finding a way, coming up with plans to get us into the aftermath of covid 19, a new economy, to try and shape what it looks like, rather than just firefight and try to get through it as best we can. Have a strategy, have a plan. We will be talking about various things this weekend to do that. One of them will be looking at the principal of a universal basic income to reform the welfare state, to re envisage the 21st century, to make sure that in a situation like this we do not have people who fall through the cracks. Universal credit has shown itself not to be up to this. We have seen where the holes in the safety net hour, now we need to be repairing them. We need to be taking action just now. We need to be investing in greenjobs and just now. We need to be investing in green jobs and sustainability. Talking to the oil industry about how we transfer the skills which they have into Sustainable Energy and the oil and gas industry in this country is keen to do that. I was talking to them a couple of weeks ago about stop they want to be moving forward and ensuring that they can keep energy in this country sustainable. Crosstalk. Ill be happy here you are and edinburgh mp. You have lots of stu d e nts edinburgh mp. You have lots of students in your consistency stop the situation at universities with covid campuses is clearly very worrying for the authorities there. Our students being told not to party this weekend, stay inside, how worried are you and how much you think they will stick to the new rules . Think they will stick to the new rules . The first thing that went through my mind when i heard it was that it was not so very long since my daughter went off to university as an 18 year old. And before they are living home for the first time and they are going through the pandemic, they are going through the thought of being in isolation, ill, and that they cant be in contact with the families is distressing for all of us. It is distressing for them, their parents, the rest of the family and friends. I was talking to my daughter about it last night and we we re my daughter about it last night and we were talking about how you can make households within the halls of residence at the university and it is going to be a very, very difficult thing. But we also had last night on question time from one of the governments advises that they knew this was coming, that everybody involved in the universities knew that there would be an upsurge in infections when the stu d e nts be an upsurge in infections when the students came back. And i think this stu d e nts students came back. And i think this students themselves should have been better prepared for it. They should have been warned. If the teaching is going to be done online, mostly, as some universities, why couldnt they have stayed at home . Again, think it is an example of perhaps we should have played better for is an example of perhaps we should have played betterfor this. Christine, we are going to have to leave it there. But thank you for joining us. Now the fundraising hero captain sir tom moore is fighting for the growing number of people in the uk who feel isolated and lonely. Thats one of the missions of his Charity Foundation and this time hes got some high profile helpers, including a former england cricket captain and another walking fundraiser who like captain tom has to take every step slowly but surely. John maguire reports. He may have already raised nearly £40 million for nhs charities, but thatis £40 million for nhs charities, but that is not enough for the irrepressible captain sir tom moore. With his new foundation he is aiming to help so many more people. Today, he is talking with the man in the diving suit, lloyd scott, and the former england cricket captain, david gallop. They have come together to discuss a shared goal, tackling loneliness, one of the priorities for the captain tom foundation. To all the people in their own house who are shut away, day after day, and nobody ever comes to see them and it must be rather terrible when nobody ever comes to speak to you and, sometimes, if you ever think that you were in a supermarket, which you probably wont be doing that, but sometimes you see a person talking to the checkout girl and goes on talking and talking and talking and you get rather impatient, but then you realise thats probably the first person that person has spoken to four days. And shejust person that person has spoken to four days. And she just cant stop talking and that really is one of the loneliness is they have. Lloyd is about to don the diving suit once again to claim the three highest mountains in scotland, england, and wales to claim money for the lords stubbornness charity. Its going to be about loneliness, disadvantaged children, and really what i want to do is, obviously, encourage that and promote that. And i can tell you that at times inside that deep sea diving helmet it does get pretty lonely, once you put that on you are kind of cut off from the outside world. So 100 lengths of your garden was a fantastic achievement. The amount of money you raised was just mind boggling, magnificent. But, really, my thing to you is that i felt you brought out the very best in humanitya felt you brought out the very best in humanity a new brought not only a nation together but pretty much a planet. And when things get tough and they get lonely, as they undoubtedly will come up the mountains, i will be thinking of you and it will undoubtedly help to spur me on and to help all those lonely, disadvantaged children. The pandemic has seen all ages affected by isolation. Everyone assumes that it isolation. Everyone assumes that it is mainly the elderly who might be lonely because they have lost friends, they have lost relatives. But actually there are a lot of our children, the disabled, disadvantaged children, who are equally lonely because they are stuck at home, they cant get out. The same sort of thing. They isolated for the same reasons. People who need a little bit of help, a pat on the back and say, come on, things arent quite as bad. Imean, come on, things arent quite as bad. I mean, some people get very depressed. At the moment, there are an awful lot of people depressed. And all of them say, things are going to get better, because some people are not quite sure that things are going to get better. But they are. Tomorrow could be a good day, today is already a good day. And, we have a race. We have a race involving a man of 100, a and, we have a race. We have a race involving a man of100, a man wearing £100 of diving equipment, and a man with 100 caps is going to sit in the back and watch. While there is still a need, there are Extraordinary People like these who are prepared to make a difference, raising millions for good causes with every step they take. John maguire, bbc news.

I am, quite often ive been mistaken for the defendant and what, you know, yesterday actually made me realise that, you know, it kind of made me appreciate that, actually, its not particularly nice being a defendant in court either because, actually, everyone should be treated with respect. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. On the tubes the central line which is part suspended. Theres northbound traffic towards the blackwall tunnel, on the southern approach.

Temperatures still struggle tomorrow, 13 14 celsius at best. Sunday, more cloud, and, again, the temperature is chilly. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Bye for now. Good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. Our headlines today early doors for pubs and restaurants across england, as some businesses warn the chancellors plan to protect jobs doesnt go far enough. A warning to students in scotland no parties, no pubs and no visiting your family. Royal revenues are hit by coronavirus lower visitor numbers could lead to a £35 million shortfall. What will the impact have on public fitness with park runs feeling restrictions . Anna northerly wind will make you feel quite chilly, especially across parts of Eastern England. Ill bring you more in about ten minutes. Its friday the 25th of september. Our top story. A new plan to safeguard what the chancellor calls viable jobs has been criticised by some of the Industries Hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Some retail, hospitality and performing arts businesses say rishi sunaks new emergencyjobs scheme doesnt go far enough. Jon donnison reports. In these tough economic times, drowning their sorrows last night but across england, it was early doors as the new nationwide 10pm curfew for pubs and bars kicked in. Still got 45 minutes, the last hour. Make the most of it. Early night, watch a movie. As a student, it is a bit annoying, freshers and everything, but i do think, id ratherjust be safer than like going out and risking. To be honest, i tend to go to sleep at about ten oclock anyway, but i imagine it affects a lot of pepole quite a bit. It comes as the chancellor rishi sunak announced a new package of Financial Support. How are you going to pay for all this, chancellor . But businesses are going to have to take more of the strain themselves. In october, the final month of the current furlough scheme, the government will be paying 60 of workers salaries, with Companies Paying 20 . But from november, under the chancellors new scheme, its companies that will pay a minimum of 55 with the government paying a maximum of 22 . And employees will have to work at least third of the normal hours. The chief executive of next has welcomed the move but is warning thousands of traditional retailjobs may become unviable because of the ship to online sales. I think its important that employers begin to pay a little bit more for these schemes and employees get a little bit less because there is a risk that our economy willjust hooked on it. But others say the government is cutting supported a vital time. We are facing a badge at the end of october and a scheme in front of his now doesnt seem to stack up and go far enough. What we cant do is have somebody come and work for 33 of their time and we have to pay for 55 of their time, itjust doesnt make make economic sense. So as people prepare for what the many will be a difficult winter, the health and the wealth of the nation remain intrinsically linked. Jon donnison, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. Leila, the chancellor must have expected this type of criticism. How will he respond to it . Its interesting, the papers i kind ofa its interesting, the papers i kind of a mixed review of the chancellors announcement yesterday. I guess he knew he was going to get some criticism. And perhaps pre empting it by being quite upfront, saying he cannot protect everyjob, cannot upfront, saying he cannot protect every job, cannot protect upfront, saying he cannot protect everyjob, cannot protect every business and it was interesting to hear his justification for ending the furlough scheme because you referred back to the start of the pandemic, when the government was preparing at the time what it thought was going to be a temporary disruption to the economy. Now he said the economy had shifted, there had been a permanent adjustment to coronavirus and he said that it was wrong for the government to protect jobs that would otherwise now not exist. That is why he was saying he was going to target Government Support at what he called viable jobs, jobs where people can work at least third off their hours and its clear he wants to pull back from that initial Emergency Response but questions remain, will this really incentivise companies to keep workers on. Remember its supposed to try and stop dublin sees, how much of an incentive will companies have not let people go if theyre still having to pay workers for hours not work. What about all those sectors that remain shut because of the government restrictions. There will be a bit of a row moment moment of truth at the end of the furlough scheme next month when that big support the government put in is withdrawn and replaced by this new jobs package, how manyjobs will be left but the chancellor was very clear he needed to put the Government Support package on a more sustainable and affordable fitting. Thank you very much indeed. We have some more numbers this morning. The government borrowing figures werejust morning. The government borrowing figures were just released. Growing level of the uks debt even before the chancellors spending promises yesterday. Bens in Central London digesting the figures for us. What does this data show ben . The government is trying to save as many peoples livelihoods as it can. Its thought this number would creep higher but the scale of the amount of money that the government is borrowing, racking up debt on its credit card to pay for all of this, is increasing. The latest figures tell us you borrowed 36 billion 30 £6 tell us you borrowed 36 billion 30 £6 billion in august, its 30 billion, more than the same time last year. How much all of this is costing. This all comes before the latest announcement yesterday, that extension, a new version of the job support scheme, to replace the furlough scheme and we are told that will cost £1. 2 billion every month. To give you an idea how much we were racking up on the credit card, the government says between april and august, it borrowed £173 billion, £140 billion more than the previous year. It gives you a sense of someone paying for this, and the government is trying to work out how we paid back. Normally it will be paying for things like income tax. All of river revenues than those income sources have fallen pretty sharply because we are working less, they have cut vat in business is on producing as much. Whereby spending is rising, the amount of money is falling and that we have to borrow is increasing pretty substantially. Well be talking to stephen barclay, the chief secretary to the treasury later. The pandemic is likely to leave a £35 million hole in the royal finances, according to the latest accounts released by the palace. That includes a shortfall of £15 million caused by the smaller number of visitors to royal palaces and galleries. It will also knock £20 million off the ongoing renovations to Buckingham Palace. This Years Mercury prize has been won by the singer songwriter, Michael Kiwanuka. How does it feel when its how does it feel when its quiet and calm .

He first came to attention after supporting adele on her tour in 2011, and winning the bbcs sound of 2012. Well done. Rats have long been given a bad press often unfairly but we can start to put that right today. This african pouched rat, called magawa, has been awarded a gold medalfor bravery and devotion to duty after sniffing out 39 landmines and 28 other pieces of explosive material in cambodia. He was trained by a belgian charity and has now been given the gallantry award, said to be the animal equivalent of the george cross, by the veterinary charity, the pdsa. Said to be the animal equivalent of the george cross by the veterinary charity. Well done, congratulations. I wonder how a rat wears a middle. Dangerous business. Cant you hand to sarah . No rattling. How do i follow that . Good morning to you. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. Some of us, sunshine to start the day before other areas, heavy and persistent rain. Really through the course of the day, we will notice that we are going to see a brisk, gold northerly wind. Longer spells of rain likely. Heavy rain here combined with gales. We have warnings for the wind and rain. A lot of dry weather. Particularly the parts of Northern Ireland. Further east, combined with that heavy rain, gusts of wind are likely to be 45 55 Miles Per Hour, even in land. Thats enough to cause some disruption, flooding and potentially trees down as well. The most of us, 13 16 celsius, with some sunshine. We keep that rainfall agenda across parts of east anglia into lincolnshire. Quite a cool start to saturday. They could even be a touch of frost across parts of scotland. Through the weekend, still looking rather mixed. A lot of dry weather on the cards. Still rainfall to the east but we will notice that chilly northerly wind, making it feel pretty autumnal. Its there, a bit of a bite. The first week of university is traditionally a whirlwind of making new friends, getting to grips with a new way of working and, for many freshers, exploring a new city. This year, coronavirus is ruining the party, with hundreds of positive cases across the uk and many students in scotland already confined to their accommodation blocks. Shamaan Freeman Powell reports. Do you remember it . We always knew this year was going to be different and difficult. We will be surprised by the numbers of cases, hundreds of positive cases across the uk. Hundreds of tested positive campuses scotla nd hundreds of tested positive campuses scotland in recent days. Glasgow, dundee, edinburgh and aberdeen have all seen substantial numbers of stu d e nts all seen substantial numbers of students forced into self isolation. Testing centres have been set up to combat the spread, now students have been told not to socialise. Pubs and parties are off limits. But life for the time being at least is very different across the border. Wednesday night in sheffield. Social distancing and the rule of six are difficult to enforce. This is despite licensed venues doing all they can to follow the governments advice. Freshers week is a right of passage. The many student, its their first taste of freedom. Its a chance to socialise, many new people and have fun but this year, one could come at a cost. As students across the country are being fined or breaking the rules and more and more of them are testing positive for coronavirus. As well as the numbers seen in glasgow and aberdeen, there have been 87 reported cases in liverpool, 30 at oxford brooks, and 12 in swansea. To combat the spread, universities are setting up a dedicated testing centres. But as cases rise, more rules are introduced, meaning less freedom for students. Do you feel like you had the best sort of year, did you . Yeah, definitely. I feel like weve come here and its totally gone. Its really hard because, like, say in our halls, its really lonely. We are working in restaurants, working in pubs. I work in care so im on the front line working for that but its our age Group Getting blamed when actually people are blaming it on social habits rather than appreciating what doing for the country. One of those working is kendra. It really doesnt exist. She has asthma and a weakened immune system but decided to start her masters in International Event and Conference Management while working part time in a bar. Conference management while working parttime in a bar. You have to learn to live with it. It is scary. Ijust learn to live with it. It is scary. I just learn to be learn to live with it. It is scary. Ijust learn to be careful with my masks and keep my hand sanitiser with me at all times and keeping my distance but also i have to live my life, i do go out and see my friends. My experience of going back to university i would say has been pretty unique. Its been a lot worse people than i would have expected. We are not really allowed to have block parties but we are allowed to go out in small groups. Im really worried about the on line component of how my degree is going to be taught this year. For an average of £9,000 a year, many are wondering what they are paying for. |j £9,000 a year, many are wondering what they are paying for. I fully appreciate its going to be very different for students starting this term but will also got to remember that havent had a further break to their academic journey, that havent had a further break to their academicjourney, theyve been able to embark on that University Life and meet people and begin studying, which is something that wasnt clear a number of months ago when we were in the midst of the lockdown. Last night, bars and clubs shut it ten, calling an overnight early night on freshers week. As cases swell in scotland, students across the uk feel that more restrictions are all they have to look forward to. Shamaan Freeman Powell, bbc news. A major outbreak of covid 19 at the university of glasgow has led to 172 students testing positive. Hundreds more are self isolating, including nell manson and lucy owens. We can speak to them now. Good morning to both of you. Lucy, i think you have tested positive, right, so how are you doing . To be honest, have not got any bad symptoms. They only lost my sense of smell a couple of days ago. Other than that i feel fine. Its really strange. That is good news. We are glad to hear you are doing all right. I guess, glad to hear you are doing all right. Iguess, nell, glad to hear you are doing all right. I guess, nell, you are stuck in your halls and you cannot go out. Yeah, were lucky because we are in a big flat so we have a of people to talk to. But we have been stuck for nearly five days now. So it is kind of, really kind of hitting us that we are of, really kind of hitting us that we are in here for two weeks with no way of going outside. You have both got big smiles. Im quite surprised to see that. Because you are away from home, it is the beginning of the year, i thought you would be absolutely gutted to be stuck. |j dont think it has actually properly hit us yet. It is what it is. To be honest, we dont know any different. We dont know what University Life is supposed to be like because we have not variance that. We know it is not supposed to be like this. And we is not supposed to be like this. And we pretty muchjust had to is not supposed to be like this. And we pretty much just had to socialise with our flat because we could not go out and meet other people or two clubs or anything. So it is kind of just similar to what happened before we just similar to what happened before we just cant go to the shops. Just similar to what happened before we just cant go to the shopsm just similar to what happened before we just cant go to the shops. It is good you have found one another and made friends. Is it frightening. You are away from home, you hear the cases in your block and other parts of the university. It must be quite a scary time. Yes. They feel like it all happened so quickly, we heard of all happened so quickly, we heard of a couple of cases and then me and a few others in our flat, now i dont know of any flats that dont have positive cases. We are all isolating now. It is kind of scary. Especially as some people have worse symptoms than others. And no one has exactly the same symptoms, even in our flat stop so it is very worrying that you might end up developing the worse ones rather than the more mild ones. I suppose, you know, ones rather than the more mild ones. Isuppose, you know, you ones rather than the more mild ones. I suppose, you know, you havejust been thrown together, you have just met one another, and they were having to look after one another. Yes. Im glad we all get along quite well as a flat. I dont know how long that will last. We are quite lucky, think, in that sense. Especially being in a big flat. I think if you are in a flood of four you are around each other more. There are 12 of us. The suggestion isa there are 12 of us. The suggestion is a loss of students have picked it up is a loss of students have picked it up during the mangling and socialising of freshers week. Mingling. When you look back, im not suggesting you did anything wrong, but you wish you hadnt gone that or done that or we had all behave differently do you wish . |j think it was inevitable bringing this many students. Because this Studio Village is not big at all. It is quite small for the amount of students. Obviously we have to go and do laundry in the same place. We are all kind of like close to each other anyway stop as much as we try to maintain social distance and stuff. Ok, good luck. Im trying to work out if it is more big brother or love island there. More big brother your parents might be watching. Let us leave it there. I hope youre feeling better soon. Awkward they were talking about four days gone, ten days ago, just got reality tv flashbacks. Four days gone, ten days ago, just got reality tv flashbackslj four days gone, ten days ago, just got reality tv flashbacks. I am sure they are busy studying. And grab we can speak now to professor debra humphris, vice chancellor of university of brighton. Good morning to you. Thank you for joining us. It is interesting hearing from and lucy there. Students. We want them to have a good time. Of course they are there to study. It is expensive for them to study. It is expensive for them to be at university but this is a com pletely to be at university but this is a completely different change. How difficult was it to make the decision to say to them, this weekend you are not going out . For all our students, and we have got returning students in senior years as well as new students, i think to whom this is most difficult. In all our halls of residence, as in every university, there will be able Residential Life Team to support them. It is really different. We are in the grip of a pandemic. My stu d e nts in the grip of a pandemic. My Students Union is doing a greatjob as we can to make this as a special moment as it possibly can be. And so many of them, as lucy and nell illustrated, just want to get on with their lives. The decision hasnt been brought into england yet. How close you think you are to be following the scotland model . Well, we follow all the Public Health advice and of Public Health england. This virus are no boundaries. So we wait all the time and response to advice as it changes. I wouldnt be surprised if the advice changes, but that is up to Public Health england. You dont feel it is your responsibility, perhaps, to not keep a close eye, but bring in those restrictions as preventative measures . We have a whole approach to supporting stu d e nts whole approach to supporting students and staff in terms of a covid safe environment. I cant emphasise enough the need for basic hand hygiene, face coverings, and keeping distance. And we absolutely all have to do that, because we are all have to do that, because we are all each others safety. All have to do that, because we are all each others safety. So jacqui has been in touch and says her son is going to university tomorrow and she is extremely concerned about the spread of covid 19 among young people. And asks if someone can advise if there are is a great thing to do in terms of sending him to university. Whichever university is going to will have been in touch and set out their precautions are measures and expectations. As brighton we have very prolonged, have prolonged extensively the time over which students are coming into holes so we can take every individual student through the process of moving into holes or the safety procedures through our expectations of them as well, so we are doing everything we can to help people follow the basic rules of hand hygiene, face coverings, and distance. Good to talk to you. Thanks very much your time this morning. Professor debra humphris, vice chancellor of the university of brighton. 7 23am. The queens finances have taken a hit from coronavirus. We have been talking about everyones jobs. The queens finances have ta ken everyones jobs. The queens finances have taken a hit from coronavirus. Shes facing a 35 million shortfall next year, caused partly by delays to re opening palaces and galleries. Thats according to the latest set of royal accounts which have just been released. They show the royal family cost the taxpayer £82 million in the last financial year, a third of which was spent on the ongoing refurbishment of Buckingham Palace. Were joined now by royal commentator and author, david mcclure. Good morning. As that what stands out you when you look at the figures, the potential shortfall because of covid . Yes. I think covid is hitting the palace like it is hitting everyone else. There is a £35 million shortfall. The bulk of thatis £35 million shortfall. The bulk of that is for doing up Buckingham Palace. We are going to lose potentially £20 million to fill in. There is another £50 million that goes from lasting come, you know, they open up Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle to visitors, which is very lucrative. They are losing £50 million of that money. There is a black hole in the palaces accounts. Who feels that whole, will it be the taxpayer . There are two ways when you have a problem, you either cut expenditure or you raise money. Now, the palace have said that they do not want extra funding. But you know, there is a problem and what is most interesting is that next year is the five yearly review of the sovereign grant. And maybe. think wejust lost your sovereign grant. And maybe. think we just lost your sound there. Sorry, david. Just repeat the last sentence. Yes, the problem is that the most likely thing that is going to happen is there it there is a five yearly review of the sovereign grant coming up next year. And they can raise the level of it. So if they do have a shortfall, particularly for doing up Buckingham Palace, they might possibly say and we have a higher percentage of the profits of the crown estates, which sought to find the alice expenditure. When you look through the detail of this, some of the most striking numbers related to travel and transport, dont they, the duke and transport, dont they, the duke and duchess of sussex took a trip to south africa before they left uk, that chip costly taxpayer £246,000 in travel costs. People will look at that, a lot of people, and think that, a lot of people, and think thatis that, a lot of people, and think that is a huge amount of money for basically flights. They agree. Travel is the achilles heel of the royalfamily, travel is the achilles heel of the royal family, because it travel is the achilles heel of the royalfamily, because it takes travel is the achilles heel of the royal family, because it takes up such a big slice of the budget, about 10 of the budget, £5 million about 10 of the budget, £5 million a yearfor on these about 10 of the budget, £5 million a year for on these trips are very expensive and they go with a large entourage, even friends charles, for two days a cost £200,000. Yes, it is very expensive and there might be pressure in the future either to have fewer trips or maybe travel with a smaller entourage. But, yes, it isa with a smaller entourage. But, yes, it is a big ticket item. with a smaller entourage. But, yes, it is a big ticket item. I guess one thing at the moment is there are fewer trips because of covid. David, thank you very much indeed. You are welcome. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Im tarah welsh. Michael keewa nooka has won this Years Mercury prize award. The singer song writer from muswell hill, saw off competition from stormzy and dua lipa to win the £25,000 prize. He had been nominated for the award two times before. I have always been kind of worried about my place in the musical landscape, where a fit in, all those kind of questions. And with this one ijust kind of made a decision that i wanted do not really worry about these things. The loud revving of car engines has become such a problem in one borough that their installing high tech acoustic cameras. Kensington and chelsea sees many supercar drivers showing off their vehicles. Anyone caught behaving anti socially, could be fined or have their car seized. The acting head of the Court Service has apologised after a black barrister from essex was mistaken for a defendant. Alexandra wilson said she was absolutely exhausted, after staff at a Magistrates Court repeatedly failed to realise she was a lawyer. I am quite often ive been mistaken for the defendant and what, you know, yesterday actually made me realise that, you know, it kind of made me appreciate that, actually, its not particularly nice being a defendant in court either because, actually, everyone should be treated with respect. The English National opera has opened a drive in event at alexandra palace. People have been watching la boheme from the saftey of their own cars. The English National opera opened the first eno drive live europes first live drive in opera production that audiences can safely experience from their cars. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. On the tubes it is looking ok this morning. The m25 is closed anti clockwise from junction 5 tojunction 4 orpington. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. We are in for an unsettled and blustery day today. Its a chilly start this morning with a strengthening northerly wind, which isjust pegging back those temperatures. First thing this morning we do have quite a bit of cloud around. Some showers working their way south. Some of those could be quite heavy before they clear. They look likely to stay or parts of essex for much of the day. Further west, some drier weather, maybe even some sunshine. Temperatures are struggling in that strong northerly, widely gusts of 40 45 mph, temperatures between 13 15 celsius. Overnight for most of us should be mostly clear. Temperatures dropping. It stays windy overnight. Cloud again outwards the parts of essex. Minimum temperature 5 7 celsius. For saturday, we should get a bright start, especially further west you are with some sunny spells. Further east though, that cloud still there, the possibility of some outbreaks of rain. Temperatures still struggle tomorrow, 13 14 celsius at best. Sunday, more cloud, and, again, the temperature is chilly. That is it from me. I will be back in an hour. Goodbye for now. Hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. Were getting a lot of reaction this morning to what the said yesterday. Rishi sunak talked about protecting viable jobs but industries are set to hit hard. He said he hopes the plan benefits large numbers. University students in scotland are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend following our rakes in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. Hundreds of students have tested positive, and many more are self isolating. Theyve been told they will be breaking the law if they leave their Student Accommodation and return home to visit their families. I think its obviously the right advice, we should be maintaining social distance, but i dont think its very realistic. I think if there is a limit the people to go out to ten oclock, i dont see why it should exclude students. The income of the royal family has been hit by coronavirus with a drop in the number of visitors to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. It includes a shortfall of £15 million caused by the smaller number of visitors to royal palaces and galleries and will also not £20 million of the ongoing renovations to Buckingham Palace. Marine biologists working alongside fishermen and volunteers have now rescued 94 of the pilot whales which have been stranded off the west coast of tasmania. Theyre hoping to escort 12 more out to sea. The team says its hard to know exactly how many whales have died in the mass beaching, but its estimated to be around 350. The singer songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has won this Years Mercury prize for his self titled third album. How does it feel when its quiet and calm . His self titled album saw off competition from artists including stormzy and dua lipa to win the £25,000 pound prize. He first came to attention after supporting adele on her tour in 2011, and winning the bbcs sound of 2012. I could just listen to that all day. Its really lovely. Well done to michael. We will speak a bit later in the programme toJools Holland and it will be good to get his reaction as well. If you think of an animal that is brave, you think of what, a police dog . A horse. An army or military force. What about a rat . Why not . This african pouched rat, called magawa, has been awarded a gold medalfor bravery and devotion to duty after sniffing out 39 landmines and 28 other pieces of explosive material in cambodia. He was trained by a belgian charity and has now been given the gallantry award, said to be the animal equivalent of the george cross, by the veterinary charity, the pdsa. Normally i hate to see a rat. Do you . I like rack s. Normally i hate to see a rat. Do you . I like rack s. Magawa is a whole new rebounding for the right business. Thats great. Thanks for joining us. The Coronavirus Support plan announced by the chancellor rishi sunak yesterday to protect what he called viablejobs has raised questions over which sectors of the economy will be left behind. The government will supplement the wages of people working at least a third of their normal hours. But those in industries currently closed such as nightclubs may lose out. Lets speak now to stephen barclay, the chief secretary to the treasury. Thank you very much for your time this morning, good morning. What is a viable job . One where the employer is able to bring someone back to work on what weve said as we are working in partnership where the gap thatis working in partnership where the gap that is remaining from what three ways between the government, the employer and the employee, and that really reflects a change in focus from that initial first phase where through the furlough, we put into the peak of 8 million or 9 million jobs, people staying at home, once we build capacity and protected our nhs to the next phase where we recognise we will be living with this virus for a longer period of time than initially thought and therefore we need to take more targeted measures, rather than the people being at home for a very long period of time, to start to bring people back into the Labour Market where we can and where that is not possible, then focus very much on the skills combat training on how we get them into otherjobs. Tell me, i was looking at some statistics, the office for budget responsibility estimates unemployment will pick it 13 next year, that is just the latest forecast, meaning 4 million out of work. Institute for fiscal studies says more than 2 Million People could lose theirjobs by the end of this year. Frightening numbers. When you speak about what jobs are viable, how many fewer viable jobs jobs are viable, how many fewer viablejobs are jobs are viable, how many fewer viable jobs are there now, say, compared to the start lockdown . There are 700,000 more people out of work and at the start and there is a range. Imagine the bank of england forecasting august was 7. 5 . Within that range, the chancellor was very honest. We will not be able to save everyjob but the key issue there is where people are not able to be returned by their employer. In more than half the people who went on furlough, now being back in their jobs. They need to have the skills, training, the plan to get them back into otherjobs. Training, the plan to get them back into other jobs. Thats training, the plan to get them back into otherjobs. Thats why the announcement today sits alongside the £30 billion package that the chancellor set out injuly, its plan forjobs, things such as the £2 billion kickstart steam to focus on training, particularly on the young because the young are often concentrated in many of the set is such as hospitality. But also targeted measures such as the extension to vat, the tax deferral, attenuation of loans, support businesses, particularly side during the winter months. You said quite a bit in that answer, i want to pick up, half of those further roads are now back injobs. How many up, half of those further roads are now back in jobs. How many of those the load on our unemployed or made redundant . There is a peak of 8. 9 Million People on furlough. One in ten of the Labour Market is still on furlough and part of the challenge then. If you said half of those who are on furlough are back in jobs, one in ten are still on furlough, does that mean or in ten are now unemployed . Furlough, does that mean or in ten are now unemployed . No, so one in ten in the Labour Market on furlough so from a peak of eight point 9 million, there is around 4 million still on furlough, it is still running and runs until the end of sober but with a taper where employees start to make a contribution. One of the differences about the scheme the chancellor announced yesterday. Is that we currently employs make a contribution for furlough staff at home and therefore not working, the scheme is today supporting those employers bringing more of the staff backin employers bringing more of the staff back in to the Labour Market. So the employer gets the benefit of 33 or at least 33 of that work but the remainder is split, as i say, in a partnership between government, the employer and business. This responds very much to the representations we had and its why what the chancellor announced yesterday was so warmly work and by the cbi, the federation of Small Businesses, the chief executive s many of those sectors such as aerospace and hospitality that have been hardest hit, the business community, together with the trade unions, consulted and worked with the chancellor on this package and thats why its received a very package and thats why its received a very warm response from so many Business Leaders. Many businesses are saying, its cheaper to give one person employed rather than to part time when they look at the numbers. Ijust dont think time when they look at the numbers. I just dont think that reflects the reality. I saw that story in the Resolution Foundation in particular, making a point yesterday but what that doesnt take on board as a spreadsheet interpretation not reflecting the fact that many employees value the flexibility of being able to tailor how much time employers are working as we go through the uncertainty of the winter months and also businesses. They want to winter months and also businesses. They want to retain their skills and the expertise of our Labour Markets and thats what they wanted the ability to bring people back on a part time basis and thatis people back on a part time basis and that is the supportive approach that the chancellor has set out. Would you like to respond to the food and Drinks Federation which spoke about the extra measures, particularly the hospitality extending the vat cut, thejob support hospitality extending the vat cut, the job support scheme, the food and Drinks Federation has said only by targeted furlough scheme, while current restrictions remain, so your measures dont go far enough and targeting is what Many Industries wanted. When they see targeting, that i say targeted to which the is, that i say targeted to which the is, that was one of the problems with what the labour party said. They didnt how long. Did the food and Drinks Federation talk to you ahead of the department, added this decision . We talk on a regular basis with all of the respective bodies and as with all of the respective bodies and as i say, you reference the hospitality sector. The chief body said their concerns had been listened to, and responded very favourably to the announcement. As they say, the cbi, Business Leaders warmly welcome the package from the chancellor is indeed the institute for directors said. Its about striking a balance between both the protection of jobs striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs and the longer term affordability from the wider Economic Perspective, and thats why the chancellor set out more targeted things, morejobs that the chancellor set out more targeted things, more jobs that are viable but alongside that there is package ofjobs to enable to retrain, get the skill supporting, to boost those sectors of the economy that can grow, particularly through infrastructure investment, in order to protect those jobs we can, they have been honest, it wont be every job, but it is important that people are not talking for extended periods. I want to talk to about students. How many of those who are furloughed are now unemployed or have been made redundant . furloughed are now unemployed or have been made redundant . I dont have been made redundant . I dont have that exact figure. As i say, the number, the increase is the start of the pandemic. Can we talk about students. You will be well aware, its one of our lead stories, the Scottish Government has announced Quarantine University stu d e nts announced quarantine University Students who leave their Student Accommodation go to pubs, who socialise, or return back home, are breaking the law. At the moment, that hasnt been announced here england. Is that going to be the case . Its the Prime Minister to make those decisions based on the advice of the chief medical officer and the chief scientific advisor. What was set up by the planning minister this week was a series of measures which require us all to adhere to in order to control the virus. I think more listeners to your programme, the more of us that ensure we get control of the virus, then the easier it will be, but from an economic point of view to reopen more of our economy but also to ensure that we can do what we all wa nt to ensure that we can do what we all want to do, which is to come together at christmas at a very special time. And you refer to our viewers, jackie has set her son is going to university tomorrow, in england, she is concerned about the spread of covid 19 amongst young people. Is it the correct thing for her to do to send her son to university . What she is considering is if this is happening in scotland, there is a real possibility her trial wont be allowed back home for christmas because of the restrictions and concerns about the spread. That isnt the advice from the chief medical officer, universities are able to return its important, we started this interview quite rightly picking up on the damaging impacts of the virus in the life chances, ha rd hit, damaging impacts of the virus in the life chances, hard hit, many of been hit in sectors that have a lot of Young People Working in them. People able to get their education, the importance of schools reopening, its part of ensuring there is an longer term damage, Mental Health is a key concern, wider health consequences, people arent able to continue with their lives where that is done but they can do it where it is done but they can do it where it is done but they can do it where it is done in a covid safe way. Is done but they can do it where it is done in a covid safe waym is done but they can do it where it is done in a covid safe way. If you have family in liverpool, its under local lockdown restrictions, so residents cant socialise with the outside of their own households, a child goes to university, lets say brighton, where there are no restrictions, sets up a new household with university, is that child was allowed back home . Well, the Health Department has put out guidance and obviously it varies in different parts of the country. This one is quite simple, from an area of lockdown to an area of not done stop there are different situations in different parts of the country with our local towns entitled, thats why im an economic point of view, we have put out specific targeted measures that can very so the Business Report is available, there is additional business support in areas of local town sorry, was asking if a student would be able to return home if it went from an area of lockdown. It is an issue for the guide. They understand people are able to return home. That is the guidance in place. This is an issue that the Health Department, my focus has been on the announcement yesterday and the Spending Review that im working on. Ok. Understood. Stephen barclay, thanks for taking those questions, going through, as you said, the chancellor rishi sunak unveiling yesterday supporting wages during the pandemic. 7 45 friday morning, on a saturday morning tens of thousands of people used to depart runs to get fit. Did you do one . I haves depay near me. They did that. I have never done that. They dont like running with anyone. Im not sociable. That is the point of it. It gets you off the sofa, millions of this ever since it started in 2004 people who have never usually run at all before, apart from going to this. It helps motivate. I guess some people lack the motivation. You like to get in the motivation. You like to get in the zone. They were meant to be coming back. In october, that is what they were talking about. Plans to resume weekly parkrun events next month have been scrapped. The runs are exempt from the governments coronavirus restrictions, because they re an organised, outdoor sporting activity. But organisers decided that it was, insensitive to restart when the countrys facing a surge in cases. Joining me now is chrissie wellington, shes a four time ironman triathlon, world champion, and parkruns global head of health and wellbeing. Good morning. Great to see you again. Good morning. We know parkrun has become such an important part of so many peoples lives, as we have been saying. What are your concerns about the implications of this . We know there is a growing level of inactivity, of isolation, of disconnect, and without opportunities for people to come together without where the chance of transmission is proving to be low, it is going to compound the problem and were going to face, potentially, another Public Health pandemic in that people are going to be increasingly isolated, increasingly disconnected, and increasingly disconnected, and increasingly sedentary, especially as we go into winter and we all move indoors. Why cant we all challenge ourinner indoors. Why cant we all challenge our inner nagas and go running on our inner nagas and go running on our own . We seem to like running en masse. They dont know what it is. Why do you think that such an issue . As you said, many people can motivate themselves and are happy to go out and run on their own, but there are not millions of people who face barriers to participation, whether that is fear, anxiety, walcher, cost, time, and, most importantly, they value that socialisation opportunity. They need that collective endeavour, if you like. Not only the opportunity to run or walk with others in the open hour, but also that opportunity to volunteer. And the absence of part run volunteer. And the absence of part ru n re m oves volunteer. And the absence of part run removes that opportunity for people to participate in a communal, social supportive environment, but also removes the opportunity for people to volunteer. And i think was at the start of lockdown the importance of civic participation. We saw people coming together and wanting to contribute to their community and we feel that this is diminished in recent months and people do need those opportunities to come together, like i said, where the risk of transmission is proving to be low. You have been vocalthis week about the disproportionate effect this will have on women and girls in particular. Absolutely. You know, the impact of the virus is affecting different groups disproportionately, but also the ancillary measures used to contain it are impacting a number of different groups and exacerbating already existing and entrenched Public Health in polities. So my fear is that these are only going to deepen and get worse as we go into winter and that is why it is so important that we look at the impact of those measures, the benefits of the containments, and the opportunities and interventions that can really address some of the Public Health problems that will result from those. Chrissie, lovely to speak again. Rob lever some may have spoken to you and not asked about your toes and feet after showing off your scars from running lee payne you have suffered in the triathlons and the pain in your feet. Can i say that noone should channel their inner naga. It is not a healthy thing. You dont have to go running on your own. Some are still doing runs this weekend. Social distancing measures in place. The organised events are doors are still allowed. It was macrons decision, they thought it was insensitive with the rising cases. All you have done is motivate us all in some ways to keep going. All you have done is motivate us all in some ways to keep goingm all you have done is motivate us all in some ways to keep going. If you are feeling motivated and you want to know what the weather is like for a run, sarah kemp tell us. Sarah, you are a runner, arent you . My sarah, you are a runner, arent you . My little dog is my running companion, kinjah. She doesnt mind if it looks like this. She is quite happy. Some people dont like it. Is it like this for everyone . It is really mixed out there if youre planning on going out for a walk or a run today. A day of very mixed fortunes. This is the picture this morning in great yarmouth. Quite a lot of laying surface water on the roads and big puzzles around. It will be raining for big parts of the day puddles stop elsewhere a sky and sunshine. Further up the east coast, this is whitley bay with sunshine coming through and some blue sky as well. What you will notice is a brisk, cold, northerly wind blowing today and through the next couple of days and some blustery showers. Although we wont all see them. It will be drier some places through the day. We have had quite a lot of heavy rain over the past 24 hours. Down to this large menciotti satellite image, stormy conditions. That is rotating around this area of low pressure. It is this area of low pressure. It is this low pressure that will be a troublemaker over the next few days, due to its slow moving nature. It is was the east and will be piling the rain in across the likes of east yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia and into the far south east as well. Not only with but gales developing as well. Away from the eastern counties of england a different picture out there. For much of the uka lot picture out there. For much of the uk a lot of dry, bright weather with scattered showers. The gust of wind could reach 40 50 mph even inland. Closer to the coast around 60 mph. That is enough to bring some travel disruption, perhaps trees down and surface water flooding as well. Temperatures around 11 degrees around the east coast, but for many of us typically 13 16 celsius. Better sunshine to be enjoyed as we head on into the afternoon. Into the evening and overnight no great changes. We keep the rain lingering, particular for parts of east anglia. Clear skies elsewhere. Still quite breezy, but temperatures falling down into the mid single figures. Even in the towns and cities it will bea even in the towns and cities it will be a bit cold amiss in the countryside first thing. A touch of frost particularly for Scotland First thing saturday morning. After that crisp start to the date it is once again quite breezy, especially in the east. Not quite as windy as it will be today. Further showers for east anglia and the south east. Not quite as persistent and today yesterdays rental. The west has more sunshine in store and temperatures perhaps a degree also upon today with 12 16 also. Heading into sunday, the winds will start to ease but it will still be breezy on thatis ease but it will still be breezy on that is coast of england when you keep the cloud and a few showers around. Dry and is blustery further north and west as well. Temperatures ranging between 11 in aberdeen and 17 in cardiff by the coming we get to sunday. Monday and tuesday cian area of high pressure, dry weather on the but then a return to something cooler and more autumnal later on next week. John and naga. Ok, sarah, thank you very much indeed. Violence against shop workers was already a serious problem before the pandemic, but the extra rules around social distancing and face coverings have created even more potential flashpoints. Now 23 major retailers are backing a parliamentary bid to ensure that offenders face stiffer punishments. Lets take a look at the sort of incident theyre hoping to prevent. This took place in a co op store in surrey when a customer was asked to follow the one way queueing system. Really, seriously. Bleep. Bleep. Screaming i have done nothing wrong. Now i have well, imagine being behind the and having to deal with that, maybe on your own, working in a shop. Michelle whitehead is a shop worker at the sharp end. Shejoins us now, along with jo whitfield, the chief executive of co op food thats one of the firms backing the bid for tougher sentences. Michelle, let me start with you. That was not you any video, but what kind of things have you had to deal with . I guess you are less shocked by that than maybe we were . With . I guess you are less shocked by that than maybe we were . I with . I guess you are less shocked by that than maybe we were . A common occurrence, to be honest with you. But not as excessive as that. We have had things thrown at us and spat at. Has it got worse in recent weeks as people have been frustrated by masks and signs and keeping apart . It started when the pandemic started getting really bad. We have a lwa ys started getting really bad. We have always had abuse with shop workers with the public. But these last few months have been horrific, to be honest with you. It is just shocking to see how people treat us. Frightening. So how do you deal with it, a situation like that . You dont go into working in retail to face that situation, do you . U nfortu nately, that situation, do you . Unfortunately, it is what you get used to. It tends to get really like that around christmas time because people are frustrated standing in queues. Of course we have had this two metre distancing and then we have had lack of food, lack of products, and now masks that you have got to where we are trying to get customers to wear them but they dont want to wear them and they dont want to wear them and they dont want to do the two metre rule. And we have had no food on the shelves like every other retailer. So it has been, think people have been frustrated even more so. And i think they must look down on shop workers as second class people. Michelle, has Wearing Masks made it any more difficult lately . It has. You now have people shouting at us to make other people wear masks and you have people coming in saying i dont see why i should where they must because you are not a supermarket. One if people feel if they have a mask on even if they are on cctv, they wont be recognised and will get away with it. That is getting more difficult as well, people are shouting at you and all you have is a pair of eyes to look at now, so that person you are serving every day, you dont know if that was your abuse yesterday or the day before or will abuse you tomorrow. So talk to us than about what you are campaigning for, jo, the situation has been laid out with the situation has been laid out with the video showed an michelles experiences. Michelle has articulated it really well. Shop workers have been vital for workers throughout this crisis. They have stepped up to feed the nation. They cant work from home and they deserve to be treated with respect, which is why we are backing alex norriss bill to get greater sentences levied against people who do carry out abuse and violence against shop workers. And its really important that we address it, because levels of the highest they have been in over 20 years. There was a survey recently that showed over 400 shop workers a day are now being threatens or abused as a result of covid. As you rightly pointed out, it has become a real flashpoint stop the triggers previously were when we looked to carry out the role we need to do around age related sale. To ask for age if we were selling certain products. That would often trigger violence. That is shop workers being required by government to carry out a public service. So we think it is right and proper they should get the same protection that other Public Servants get and that is why we have all written, 23 of us who represent, you know, 1. 25 million shop workers across the uk to ask the Prime Minister to throw his support behind the bill and give them the protection they rightly deserve. Michelle, we hear about bills going through parliament, but does that give you the confidence that things will actually change, literally, give you the confidence that things willactually change, literally, on shop for. Will that make a difference . I hope so. I am hoping that people realise that this bill is very serious and that we are in a job like anybody else. We are not second class just because we are shop workers should be treated with it. We are out there serving you, like you said, every day. So why am hoping, yes, if tougher things come in place from tomorrow, like if the bill goes through, i just in place from tomorrow, like if the bill goes through, ijust hoping that people come in and actually talk to us like people. Not throw things at us. Definitely not. You dont deserve that. A good message. We will all smile more than ever when we come in and visit stop thank you both very much indeed. Thank you, michelle.

Stay with us, headlines coming up. Good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. Early doors for pubs and restaurants across england, as some businesses warn the chancellors plan to protect ajob support a job support scheme will replace the furlough scheme but the chancellor wants he cannot save everyjob and business so who are the winners and losers as new restrictions come into force . A warning to students in scotland no parties, no pubs and no visiting your family. A new target for team tom captain sir tom moore takes aim at loneliness with another famous fundraiser, the diving suit marathon man, lloyd scott. Good morning, some wet and windy weather across parts of Eastern England, particularly lincolnshire and east anglia but some sunshine with a brisk northerly wind elsewhere. More in about ten minutes. Its friday the 25th of september. Our top story. A new plan to safeguard what the chancellor calls viable jobs has been criticised by some of the Industries Hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Some retail, hospitality and performing arts businesses say rishi sunaks new emergencyjobs scheme doesnt go far enough. Our Political Correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. Inevitably there would be a criticism of this, i dont think the government could have put anything out without any criticism but its how they are responding to it. The chancellor was clear yesterday that he could not save everyjob, could not save every business and he talked about a changed landscape, different to the one in place when the furlough scheme was introduced at the start of the pandemic which paid 80 of the wages of all those workers asked to stay at home. Now in its place he said the economy had undergone a permanent adjustment to coronavirus and therefore it was wrong for the government to support jobs that would simply exist in the furlough scheme and not otherwise in this new climate. Now targeting support atjobs this new climate. Now targeting support at jobs he this new climate. Now targeting support atjobs he said were viable but the chief secretary of the treasury Steve Barclay echoed what he had to say on breakfast earlier. Its about striking a balance between both the protection ofjobs but the longer term affordability from a wider Economic Perspective and that is why the chancellor set out more targeted at jobs that are bible that alongside it as a package and a plan forjobs to enable us to retrain, get the skills support in to boost those sectors of the comery that can grow that are viable. Particularly through structured investment in order to protect the jobs we camp and we are being honest that it will not be everyjob. Steve buckley saying he wanted to keep people in work for an extended period of time Steve Barclay. At the idea is that firms will be incentivised to keep more people on working part time rather than letting them go and he insisted that it would not just letting them go and he insisted that it would notjust be a financial calculation for businesses, they would want to keep people they have already employed skills rather than let them go and rehire new employees ata let them go and rehire new employees at a later date. I think there are still some questions remaining, what about all those workers who cannot work because of the government restrictions are still in place, for example . Whole sectors are still closed but the method you are getting from government is the Emergency Response period is now over and they have to move towards a more sustainable footing at the message you are getting. Thank you very much. The cost of supporting the economy through the pandemic pushed government borrowing to a record high last month. According to the latest Public Sector finance figures, the uk borrowed nearly £36 billion in august, the third highest month of borrowing on record. The level of uk debt is now way over £2 trillion, even before yesterdays spending pledges from the chancellor. It is five minutes past eight. University students in scotland are being told not to go to pubs or parties this weekend following covid 19 outbreaks in glasgow, dundee and aberdeen. Hundreds of students have tested positive, and many more are self isolating. Our scotland correspondent lorna gordonjoins us now from glasgow. This looks like a really serious situation and very strict rules applied . Very strict, yes. Going to university in the middle of a pandemic was always going to be a different experiences, most classes are online for students but for many stu d e nts are online for students but for many students across scotland there is no going to pubs this weekend, no parties, no mixing outside your household bubble which is the student flat you are in and this is all to try to stem the spread of coronavirus. A couple of really big outbreaks, 172 students tested positive here and glasgow and 120 across at Napier University in edinburgh. Students are also banned from going home to visit mum and dad because the new regulations came into force this week in scotland which said you cannot mix outside your household bubble and universities are warning students they are introducing a red card, yellow card system so in theory they could be kicked out of university if they are a repeat offender. There are some parents anxious about this, the childrens commissioner says he is concerned about the regulations, if the home visit ban has human rights implications. At the National Union of students claims students are being singled out. Universities say they have more staff on campuses over the weekend to offer help and support to students to look out for their welfare, and i get a sense from the Scottish Government that perhaps they are walking back a little bit from parts of what has been announced. That there was a government minister on the radio this morning who said he wanted universities to take a pragmatic approach and if they come across stu d e nts approach and if they come across students who are anxious or concerned about being socially isolated, he wants them to be pragmatic if their parents want to meet them and take them home. Thank you very much. I guess the Scottish Universities start a couple of weeks before the rest of the uk so you wonder if the same situation will be replicated more widely. We will keep you up to date. The income of the royal family has been hit by coronavirus with a drop in the number of visitors to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The royal accounts published today show a potential £35 million shortfall. Our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell reports. The most expensive royal tour of the Accounting Period was the duke and duchess of sussexs trip to southern africa. Along with baby archie, they visited south africa and harry travelled on to botswana, angola and malawi. It would prove to be their last tour as working royals and cost almost £250,000. Injanuary, unable to secure a last minute scheduled flight, the prince of wales travelled by charter to oman to offer his condolences after the death of the sultan at a cost of more than £200,000. And sporting patronages proved expensive for both the Princess Royal and prince andrew. Princess anne flew to rome to watch a Six Nations Rugby match cost, £16,000. And the duke racked up a similar amount, watching the open in portrush, Northern Ireland. In total, the sovereign grant for the year 2019 20 totalled £82. 4 million. Thats the amount of taxpayers money used to fund the monarchy, minus things like security. The biggest overall cost was the ongoing refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, which over the same period cost £33 million. The coronavirus is expected to impact future accounts, with an expected £20 million shortfall in funds to pay for palace improvements and a £15 million drop in income with reduced openings of royal galleries and palaces. Addressing the potential shortfall, the keeper of the privy purse, sir Michael Stevens said, there was no intention of asking for extra funding and they will look to manage the impact of the pandemic through their own efforts and efficiencies. The duke and duchess of sussex now live in los angeles, but as for their uk home, the palace has confirmed they paid a lump sum to the sovereign grant to cover the £2. 4 million refurbishment, as well as rent at a commercial rate for Frogmore Cottage in windsor. Exactly how much rent theyre being charged may or may not be revealed in next years accounts. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Something we have been following all week. Marine biologists working alongside fishermen and volunteers have now rescued 94 of the pilot whales which have been stranded off the west coast of tasmania. Theyre hoping to escort 12 more out to sea. That is good news but it is not clear how many of them have died in the mass beaching but they estimate it could be around 350 but thank goodness they have managed to save quite a number this morning. It is heartbreaking to. A massive effort they have undertaken. Later on we are going to be talking aboutJools Holland. This Years Mercury prize has been won by the singer songwriter Michael Kiwanuka. How does it feel when its how does it feel when its quiet and calm . His self titled album saw off competition from artists including stormzy and dua lipa to win the £25,000 prize. It also brings him a huge amount of attention. He first came to attention after supporting adele on her tour in 2011, and winning the bbcs sound of 2012. Congratulations to him. Looking forward to talking toJools Holland later. I wonder what kind of whether you would put to that music. A bit moody. Quite autumnal. Sarah is the expert with this, its really beautiful. Isnt it . I would expert with this, its really beautiful. Isnt it . Iwould put something a bit more serene weather wise compared to what we have today. We have a bit of a mix, some heavy downpours for some and quite a brisk northerly wind as well. Blustery showers around and if you are in Eastern England there will be more Eastern England there will be more Eastern England, particularly east yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia, kent and london, yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia, kentand london, heavy showers around. Also a few in parts of devon and cornwall, west wales, Northern Ireland and scotland but few and far between with a good deal of dry and bright weather and a brisk northerly wind for all of us. But gail is developing in the east. Gusts of up to 55 mph even inland towards east anglia gales. Around 60 mph on the coast and with that rainfall they could be disruption with some perhaps trees down and localised flooding. Away from Eastern England, very different, most have a good deal of sunshine and temperatures of 11 16. This evening and tonight, we keep the cloud and wet weather lingering particularly in east anglia and lincolnshire but clearer and drier elsewhere and a cold night. Temperatures falling into the low single figures across the northern pa rt single figures across the northern part of the uk, even a touch of frost first thing saturday in scotland. It remains cool for the time of year through the weekend, a blustery northerly wind, some rain in east anglia still put sunshine reappearing foremost. Thank you very much. We still like to see some sunshine we have been talking but the chancellors plans to replace the furlough scheme and ben is looking at this point i hope you are taking this seriously because it seems like you have mixed my favourite pastime and taken it to another level i cannot see your putter. This place is so cool we are here because we are talking about who might be the winners and losers as far as the chancellors announcements yesterday are concerned because he had laid out a newjob support scheme to replace the furlough scheme and this isa replace the furlough scheme and this is a bit cheaper so let me explain what we know so far. It means people who are back at work will benefit but they have to be working at least a third of the hours they would normally and then your employer will top upa normally and then your employer will top up a bit and the government will pay a bit and you will probably get about 75 of your earnings. It is less generous than the previous scheme, as we said, 75 , and your employer will be asked to pay much more rather than the taxpayer stumping up cash. Nonetheless, it is still pretty expensive with estimate thinking it could be around £1. 2 billion a month, about 4 Million People will take advantage of it but thatis people will take advantage of it but that is still much cheaper than the near £6 billion a month we were paying for the furlough scheme so thats a huge difference. But it does not apply to everyone and you have to be in work to benefit, working at least a third of your hours. Marcia is with me this morning. In yourjob, you have been furloughed since march, what will the announcements yesterday mean for you and your job . The announcements yesterday mean for you and yourjob . It means that i have a positive thought of being employed and not being made redundant. For me it is the best thing that could have happened. And the difference for you is that you still have a job and will have an income but you have to be back at work for some of the week, a third of your week, so is there enough business because some people would say that if youre not working at all, this scheme does not help . Theres enough business in what i do at the moment and working for a property company, it has been challenging like all businesses but we challenging like all businesses but we have made it so far. I challenging like all businesses but we have made it so far. Lam back now on one day a week, still furloughed for the other days. I know that i possibly will not be made redundant now which for me is amazing to. And for everyone. Thank you, marsha. We will talk more later. In her case, she works enough and would benefit from the scheme but not all businesses are like that, entertainment and hospitality are struggling right now including places like this where they have been able to reopen for the First Time Since march and matt is the boss. You were able to reopen last night for the First Time Since march but talk me through how difficult it has been for you and especially in the run up to christmas which would normally be to. Anyone in hospitality will you the last 6 8 months have been a bit of a roller coaster. We closed 191 days ago in march we could have opened in july ago in march we could have opened in july but wanted a Central London to get a bit more density back, people to be back in offices. We feel like that has finally happened in septemberand we that has finally happened in september and we opened yesterday but the last two weeks have brought a couple of curve point we had the rule of six last week which meant we had to cancel a lot of bookings from all the bookings over six people of which we normally do a huge number, especially leading up to christmas which has made christmas look very different. And this week we had the new regulations about masks and the curfew which means we have to close at 10pm and that wipes out about a third of our evening so its quite significant. The chancellor saying he has this support scheme that will protect somejobs he has this support scheme that will protect some jobs but its clear it will not save all of and every business, talking about viable businesses to whats that mean for you in terms of having staff on furlough but you already made a lot of redundancies . We really didnt have clarity about what the future looked like and we had to make decisions for the business that meant that we would reopen. To protect a load ofjobs, unfortunately we had to let people go. We have had eight vat cup and that will definitely help but the job support scheme will not do a huge amount for us. And looking ahead to the end of the year and christmas, when he will make a lot of money, you cant have big groups, cant have people eating and drinking at all your venues, it makes things tough. We are open which we are happy about, we are starting to get some revenue back in but we make a huge amount of money in the last couple of months of the years and with the new world is going to make trading very difficult and we are going to have to adapt. Good luck, a lot of work to come. Thank you very much for now. All businesses are facing pretty tough times right now but you talked about this being one of your favourite places. Let me come round here because i want to see if i can take it off the next chapter, we have to have some fun this here we go, this one is going to do it ready . See, you could totally have done that. I think you would have done better than me. There seem to be quite a few balls waiting there, have you had a few goes already . Yes theres some skill in there somewhere. The biggest smile we have seen on his face in months. Well done. We will be talking about the impact on the economy and the challenge, the chancellor has to get a hole in one with all of this. We will keep talking about it. First he fought for his country. Then he fought for the nhs. He has been working tirelessly. I spoke to him just a few weeks ago. And he has some famous friends helping him on his latest campaign. We willjoin him shortly. Lets stay with business and the economy and what ben was talking about. We can speak now to Craig Beaumont from the federation of Small Businesses, and also to david abrahamovitch. Hes the founder of an independent coffee bar and restaurant chain, called grind. Good morning to both of you. David, lets talk about your business to start with. When you heard the chancellor speak and the newjob protection scheme, how manyjobs does it potentially save and protect for you . Are not many, to be honest. I was really surprised that having launched effectively a targeted attack only on hospitality, there we re attack only on hospitality, there were no support measures specifically for hospitality. This isa specifically for hospitality. This is a general extension and diluting of the existing scheme, effectively, so it will not make a huge difference for us. Do you accept that the furlough is so expensive it just cant continue in its current form . Yes, absolutely. I didnt want furlough to continue, but what i wa nted furlough to continue, but what i wanted was for our businesses not to be forced to closed for certain hours of that i am subject to new restrictions that seem to have little to no basis in science. What we need is to be able to get on with rebuilding, which we had already started to do. We were quite happy to do that until suddenly some new rules come in, almost at the drop of a hat, completely against the previous rules, which were encouraging and subsidising people to go out to restaurants, hospitality venues, and enjoy themselves. One thing is clear, we know the r number is going up. I know the r number is going up. I know its the case with many retailers, but the First Priority is to keep people safe so you have already been adapting your business to that. With the r number going up, we know there will be changes and most of us accept we are reacting to that. At the moment, with this scheme, would it work for you and do you have enough staff, do you have the staff to accommodate the reduction in businesses going through coffee shops such as yours . I think we do accept that the r rate is going up but Public Health england, their own data shows very few of these transmissions are happening inside hospitality venues. But its hospitality that is being targeted. We do have enough staff, yes, and unfortunately we had to almost halve our headcount. I employed almost 300 people coming into the pandemic and that number is about half that now. These measures might tip us over saving a handful ofjobs but might tip us over saving a handful of jobs but doesnt might tip us over saving a handful ofjobs but doesnt go anywhere near to undoing the damage done. I think hospitality is being disproportionately targeted if you look at the science and the data. Creek moment, do you think its unfair, that that industry has been u nfa i rly unfair, that that industry has been unfairly punished. Mike craig, do you think . I think they are being disproportionately affected but i would not quibble with the science. The chancellor is trying to make sure Public Health decisions are informed by economic impact, which is why you see a vat cut for hospitality because he recognises there is an issue there. The question for me is we have an incredibly difficult winter coming for Small Businesses, hospitality and across the board. Most of them have already lost the summer and now it looks like they will lose the winter so its almost 12 months of disruption and we could see as many as one in five Small Businesses going under, a huge impact on businesses and on redundancies. This package is swift, which is good, it is significant, but is it enough . I dont think it is, it is not sufficient. Its worth doing, its an important scheme, not as generous as furlough, but i dont think it will be enough. Sol as furlough, but i dont think it will be enough. So i think there is more to come from the government. The bounce back loan changes were really positive and the job support scheme was pretty helpful but there are still a lot of people left out altogether who cant even open at the moment. Hospitality is very important but there are some other industries here as well and suddenly they cant open perhaps for 12 months, and thats huge. We will have to leave it there but thank you both forjoining us on breakfast this morning. We will talk about captain tom moore now. Fighting for the growing number of people in the uk feeling isolated and lonely. Thats one of the missions of his Charity Foundation and he has some rather famous friends helping Charity Foundation and he has some ratherfamous friends helping him out, asjohn ratherfamous friends helping him out, as john maguire ratherfamous friends helping him out, asjohn maguire explains. He may have already raised almost £40 million for nhs charities, but thats not enough for the irrepressible captain sir tom moore. With his new foundation, hes aiming to help so many more people. Today, hes talking with the man in the diving suit, lloyd scott, and the former england cricket captain david gower. Theyve come together to discuss a shared goal tackling loneliness one of the priorities for the captain tom foundation. There are a lot of people in their own house who may be shut away day after day, nobody ever comes to see them, and it must be. Rather, it must be terrible when no one ever comes to speak to you. Sometimes, if you ever think you are in a supermarket which you probably wont be doing that sometimes you see a person talking to the checkout girl and going on talking and talking and talking, and you get rather impatient. But then you realise, thats probably the first person that person has spoken to for days, and she just cant stop talking, and that really is one of the loneliness symptoms we have. And lloyds about to don the diving suit once again to climb the three highest mountains in scotland, england and wales, to raise money for the Lords Taverners charity. Its going to be about loneliness, disadvantaged children, and really what i want to do is obviously encourage that and promote that. And i can tell you that at times inside that deep sea diving helmet, it does get pretty lonely, once you put that on youre kind of cut off from the outside world. So the 100 lengths of your garden was a fantastic achievement. The amount of money youve raised isjust mind boggling, magnificent. But really, my accolade to you is i felt you brought out the very best in humanity and you brought not only a nation together but pretty much a planet. And when things get tough, and they get lonely, as they undoubtedly will up the mountains, ill be thinking of you and it will undoubtedly help to spur me on and to help all those lonely, disadvantaged children. The pandemic has seen all ages affected by isolation. Everyone assumes that it is mainly the elderly who might be lonely because theyve lost friends, theyve lost relatives. But actually, there are a lot of our children, the disabled and disadvantaged children, who are equally lonely because they are stuck at home, they cant get out, the same sorts of things, they are isolated for the same reasons. Theyre the ones that need just a little bit of help, a little pat on the back, and say, come on, things arent quite as bad as they are. I mean, some people get very depressed. At the moment, theres an awful lot of people depressed. Id like to go round to all of them and say, tomorrow is a good day, things are going to get better, because some people are not quite sure that things are going to get better, but they are. Tomorrow could be a good day. Today is already a good day. And we have a race. We have a race. We have a race involving a man of100, a man wearing 100, what, pounds of diving equipment, and a man with 100 caps whos going to sit in the back and watch laughter. While there is still a need, there are Extraordinary People like these who are prepared to make a difference, raising millions for good causes with every step they take. John maguire, bbc news, bedfordshire. He is still absolutely brilliant. Youre watching bbc breakfast. Still to come on the programme. Knowing me, knowing statue. Well meet the Alan Partridge fans who left a life sized replica of the fictional broadcaster outside his spiritual home the offices of bbc radio norfolk. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im tarah welsh. Singer songwriter michael kiwenuka has won this Years Mercury prize award. The artist, from muswell hill, saw off competition from stormzy and dua lipa to win the £25,000 prize. He had been nominated for the award two times before. I have always been kind of worried about my place in the musical landscape, where i fit in, all those kinds of questions. And with this one, ijust kind of made a decision that i wanted to not really worry about those things. The loud revving of car engines has become such a problem in one borough that theyre installing high tech acoustic cameras. Kensington and chelsea sees many supercar drivers showing off their vehicles. Anyone caught behaving anti socially, could be fined or have their car seized. The acting head of the Court Service has apologised after a black barrister from essex was mistaken for a defendant. Alexandra wilson said she was absolutely exhausted, after staff at a Magistrates Court repeatedly failed to realise she was a lawyer. Quite often i have been mistaken for the defendant. And. Yesterday actually made me realise, it kind of made me appreciate actually that it is not particularly nice being a defendant in court either because actually everybody should be treated with respect. The English National opera has opened a drive in event at alexandra palace. People have been watching la boheme from the safety of their own cars. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. On the tubes, theres currently a good service on all lines. There are delays on all approaches to Shepherds Bush green after a lorry overturned at the holland park roundabout. The m25 is closed anti clockwise from junction 5 to junction 4 orpington, thats due to a serious accident. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Were in for another rather unsettled and blustery day today. Its a chilly start this morning with a strengthening northerly wind, which isjust pegging back those temperatures. First thing this morning we do have quite a bit of cloud around. Some showers working their way south. Some of those could be quite heavy before they clear. They look likely to stay for parts of essex for much of the day. Further west, some drier weather, maybe even some sunshine. Temperatures though are struggling in that strong northerly, widely gusts of 40 45 mph, temperatures between 13 15 celsius. Overnight for most of us should be largely clear. Temperatures therefore dropping. It stays windy overnight. Cloud again out towards the east the parts of essex. Minimum temperature between 5 7 celsius. For saturday, we should get a bright start, especially the further west you are with some sunny spells. Further east though, that cloud still there, the possibility of some outbreaks of rain. Temperatures still struggle tomorrow, 13 14 celsius at best. Sunday, more cloud, and, again, the temperatures chilly. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. It is 8 31am. It was a weird end to the night in parts of england with early doors at ten oclock when pubs and early doors at ten oclock when pubs a nd restau ra nts early doors at ten oclock when pubs and restaurants had to close. Its all part of the new rules to curb the spread of coronavirus. Breakfasts tim muffett was out in brighton to see what drinkers there thought of the change. Maggie maes bar in brighton, where a packed dance floor and rows of punters at the bar were once a common sight, but now a distant memory. A bit deflated, frustrated. We are kind of having to learn again. We kind of. We found a new way of operating and we kind of mastered it and now we are having to put in more restrictions which means people have to think about coming out differently now. Ten to one is our main three hours on a friday and saturday so, thats six hours of trade which is really going to hurt. This wasnt the University Experience these first year students expected. Itsjust a shame that its happened at this time in our lives. The summer was getting back to normal, we were all being encouraged to go out so i think it gave people a lot of hope that, ok, we would get a good uni experience, but that has obviously completely changed and gone out of the window. Taxi driver Andrew Peters has had a brutal summer. Now his industry faces even more challenges. The drivers are in absolute despair at the moment. Its going to have a massive impact. Its been hard anyway at the weekends and now for suddenly people now to have to suddenly put down their pints at quarter to ten and go home, it means there is going to be no nightlife at all in that city later on for the night drivers. A lot of drivers are used to working until two or three oclock in the morning, getting people home, and that business is not going to be there at all now, its just finished. At the lion and lobster, things had been picking up. Now this. Its tough, its tough, because we put a lot of effort to open. We started doing pretty well, Still Closing at 12. But were doing well. Now, again, we start again from zero and we need to wait to see how the customers will react. I think everyone isjust going to start earlier and then get home earlier and have, like, after parties earlier. Yeah. Last orders so it has just gone ten oclock, the new enforced closing time for pubs, bars and restaurants and for most people that means its time to go home. Ten oclock has just happened, what do you make of it . Its pretty brutal, to be honest. Itjust makes us drink less and drink earlier. Has it ruined your evening being kicked out at ten . No, im still having a lovely time for some, the pavement is the new pub. Yeah, so, we could do take away. Yeah, no, we are staying here for the foreseeable future, nights out will be finishing earlier. Covid continues to upend our way of life. Tim muffett, bbc news, brighton. All change, last orders at 20 to ten, it could be a weird weekend. Sarah is going to tell us what the weather will be like this weekend andi weather will be like this weekend and i must say, ifeel like we have had a really good summer, and i a lwa ys had a really good summer, and i always get a bit miserable when the rain comes and it gets colder but dont feel too hard done by this year. Thats it and we need a bit of rain. It has been quite dry through much of the summer and the start of autumn for some but it has arrived with a bang, heavy rain overnight, thunderstorms and hail around as well and today a soggy start for some this was at yarmouth and i think they will keep the rain for a good part of the day but elsewhere there is some blue sky and sunshine to be enjoyed. This was whitley bay, some blue sky breaking through but shower cloud in the vicinity. A day of sunny spells and blustery showers for many away from the more persistent rain in the east and a brisk northerly wind which makes things feel a lot cooler, certainly than about a week ago. This is the cloud that brought that rain yesterday and overnight, circulating around an area of low pressure and that will be quite a slow moving for the next few days, sitting to the east of the uk and that rain is piling around it and driving into parts of lincolnshire, east anglia, east yorkshire and as far as kent and london. These eastern parts will keep the rain, with gales developing. Elsewhere, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, a few rogue showers on the northerly wind particularly in parts of wales and the far south west of england. The wind could reach up to 55 mph, even inland, 60 mph on the coast which is enough to cause some disruption and perhaps some small trees down and the risk of some surface water flooding with that rainfall. Not feeling particularly warm, only about 11 degrees on the east coast and elsewhere, 13 16 c put up some sunshine, not bad when you are out of the breeze but it will be noticeable and will continue through the weekend for many. Overnight, largely dry and clear for much of the uk away from the eastern counties of england, east anglia and lincolnshire as well, a soggy start to saturday as well but elsewhere, clear skies and quite crisp and cold first thing with possibly a touch of frost in parts of scotland. On saturday, pretty similar to today, a lot of dry weather with sunshine, few were showers in the west, still the rain in the east but it looks like it will start to ease off and the winds not as strong as today. Temperatures up a notch tomorrow compared to today come 12 15. Into sunday, still cloud in the east, eastern scotland with a few showers in east anglia and the south east again with that northerly breeze. Elsewhere, fewer showers, a lot of dry weather with sunshine on offer soa dry weather with sunshine on offer so a real picture heading in the next few days, brightest in the west and keeping cloud and rain in the east. Monday and tuesday are looking drierfor east. Monday and tuesday are looking drier for all, east. Monday and tuesday are looking drierfor all, less windy east. Monday and tuesday are looking drier for all, less windy but autumn returns again with the second half of next week when it will be quite u nsettled of next week when it will be quite unsettled and showery as well. Of next week when it will be quite unsettled and showery as weltm of next week when it will be quite unsettled and showery as well. It is autumn thank you very much. We have monuments dedicated to all kinds of heroes. Statues have prompted some fierce and bitter debates this year, but heres a replica of one famous british icon which will hopefully put a smile on your face. This one in norwich is of one of the citys favourite sons. Aha its Alan Partridge, the fictional broadcaster created by steve coogan, and its been temporarily put up outside the norwich Shopping Centre which also houses bbc radio norfolk. That is of course where Alan Partridge did his show. Its 11 feet tall including the plinth, and features alan wearing his trademark golfing knitwear and clutching a mug of tea. Lets speak to the artists who made it, nic dutton and gavin fulcher. Good morning to you both. How are you . Good morning to you both. How are you . Standing good morning to you both. How are you . Standing in front of the statue, you must be very proud . M is quite a proud moment, yes. Tell me the history of this and you and Alan Partridge and how it came to this. We met in the Film Industry about six years ago working on a film we discovered we were both from norwich and love where we come from. We set about working on a collaboration project and who better to immortalise than Alan Partridge himself . Why immortalise Alan Partridge . What is it about and that makes you such super fans . partridge . What is it about and that makes you such super fans . I think the city has really taken to alan. Im sure hes not everyones cup of tea but there was a premier a couple of years ago of alpha papa which was campaigned to have in norwich rather than in london. He has got a nice cup of tea in his hand. I must say, we saw on twitter steve coogan saying that although this is com pletely saying that although this is completely unauthorised, having taken completely unauthorised, having ta ken counsel, completely unauthorised, having taken counsel, unhappy at the statues attitude and stance are correct. That must feel pretty good that you have some endorsement from the man himself. It was a big relief, i must say. What do you think steve coogan might say about this . He was the creator of course, it is his brand his stick, so to speak so what would he say about it . We hope he will be flattered, that it will be good publicity for him, we it will be good publicity for him, we hope so anyway. We can find out because we have a bit of a surprise for you. Joining us all on breakfast now from the lake district, steve coogan, good morning its not a great signal. What you think of the statue . I think its fantastic. Great signal. What you think of the statue . Ithink its fantastic. I am very flattered. The detail is very good. I appreciated the fact. think it was appreciating the pullover. While we try to re establish the line with steve, nic and gavin, i was watching your faces when we introduced steve tell me about the thinking behind what you are going to put him in in terms of his clothes and the stance because it a very. And individual stance, isnt it . We were obviously looking, we would have got steve himself to model for us but he a very busy man. We took images of tim wilson initially, we thought that might be initially kim il sun. Wilson initially, we thought that might be initially kim ilsun. We discovered that this was the most natural pose for alan himself. Discovered that this was the most natural pose for alan himselfm discovered that this was the most natural pose for alan himself. It is tricky in norwich because a lot of people love him but a lot are kind of embarrassed by him and a bit fed up of embarrassed by him and a bit fed up with him. Did you face some resistance . It was a gorilla project so not a lot of people knew about it which was probably a good thing we had trouble keeping it quiet. think we have steve back on the line. We couldnt hear you very well. Thats better. When you sort the statue, what went through your mind . I was flabbergasted and when i heard it was cast in brass, that is fantastic and i hope people will put down their video screens and take up brass instruments superb, it would be nice to have a permanent place in norwich and norfolk, a county im very fond of having got to know it through Alan Partridge. Did you know anything about the statue being made . I think either nic or gavin got in touch a few years ago and they were toying with it, and we we re they were toying with it, and we were tied up with stuff so i had heard rumours but it surpassed all my expectations. I think it is quite magnificent. I think the norfolk tourist board should embrace it and make it work for them. tourist board should embrace it and make it work for them. I have just seen nic and gavin, giving a thumbs i seen nic and gavin, giving a thumbs ou seen nic and gavin, giving a thumbs up you must be breathing a bit of a sigh of relief because this is words from the man himself. Its amazing, doesnt get much better than that, we appreciated, thank you very much. Well done. You have made someones day is this going to get a mention in the podcast which is from a shed . Alans new podcast, i should emphasise that i know there are conspiracy theories say it is complete publicity but i had no idea they were going to make the statue but you might as well make hay while the sun shines the podcast is actually from an oast house a purpose built actually from an oast house a purpose built oast actually from an oast house a purpose built oast house. It is out at the moment, there are 18 episodes and people seem to like them, it was numberone in the and people seem to like them, it was number one in the podcast charts for a while. Alan will return on the bbc at some point on television next year. I at some point on television next year. Lam at some point on television next year. I am sure the statue, we will try to find a way of working it in. I would be intrigued from Alan Partridge ofs awkward character how he would cope with social distancing and going by the rules . I think alan probably likes social distancing. Hes not a particularly tactile person, and i think he would prefer to elbow bump than handshake, even before covid came along, so i think it works for him. even before covid came along, so i think it works for him. I wonder what Alan Partridge would think of the statue. As you said, he has released a statement on twitter. I cant speak for him. Im steve coogan, alan is a different person, soi coogan, alan is a different person, so i can only second guess what he would say, but i think it would be flattered. But i think he would want it somewhere prominent, perhaps next toa war it somewhere prominent, perhaps next to a war leader like montgomery or churchill or someone like that. Maybe in front of norwich town hall, which is of course a magnificent building. He wouldnt want it to be seen as a joke, he would want it to be seen with a certain amount of reverence. Absolutely right, steve. Thank you forjoining us from norwich as well. We are getting some news coming through this morning that a Police Officer has been shot dead at Croydon Police station in south london. Two sources have told bbc news this. The metropolitan police is preparing a statement. What we understand at the moment is the officer was shot by a suspect and its believe the suspect then turned the gun on himself. This news is just turned the gun on himself. This news isjust coming turned the gun on himself. This news is just coming through, we turned the gun on himself. This news isjust coming through, we have turned the gun on himself. This news is just coming through, we have to make this clear, but we have two sources that have confirmed this to bbc news and we feel it important to bring it to you. A Police Officer has been shot dead at Croydon Police station in south london, thats coming in from two sources, and the metropolitan police is preparing a statement. We will have more on this on the bbc news channel later this morning but we wanted to bring that to you right now. The singer songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has won this Years Mercury prize for his self titled third album. He beat the likes of dua lipa and stormzy to scoop the honour, which comes with a £25,000 prize but the usual glitzy Award Ceremony was cancelled because of covid 19. Our arts editor Will Gompertz has more. Dont hesitate. It was a case of third time lucky for the 33 year old london musician, winning the prestigious award for his third album, which had earned him his third nomination. It was a happy ending to a prolonged period of self doubt for the singer songwriter. Ive always been kind of worried about my place in the musical landscape, where i fit in, all those kinds of questions. And with this one ijust kind of made the decision that i wanted to not really worry about those things and create my own lane, you know . One of their own to lead shine your light over me. The album has a song cycle approach, blending one track into another as the singer explores themes of identity, migration, civil rights and police shootings. They are not protest songs exactly, but his music definitely has something to say. I want to see black violin players, black conductors, notjust in the boxes that we are used to seeing ourselves in music. We can be anything. These are things we are going to have to struggle with for a long time and music is a great, i guess, home for that kind of fight. My hero now. Kiwanuka is at times upbeat and funky, at others introspective and soulful. There are hints ofjimi hendrix inspired psychedelic guitar, of bill withers sunny optimism and bob dylans poetic lyrics. A lot with an album, youll love it and then there might be a song that feels a little bit subpar compared to the rest. There is no dud moment in this album. Its a complete body of work that is consistent throughout. It is a musically adventurous, meticulously produced album by a Royal Academy of music dropout turned Mercury Prize winning artist. Will gompertz, bbc news. Solid ground. And the mercury music prize winner Michael Kiwanuka will feature in a special edition of later. With Jools Holland on bbc two tonight. It marks the start of the 55th series of the show. Jools can tell us all about it, hejoins us now from kent. Good morning and thanks forjoining us. Tell us about michael and his prize. You have enjoyed working with him, you are a fan. Hes wonderful. Its very well deserved. This is his third record. On our new series we focus on one guest at a time and he will be my guest tonight. We will talk to him, and its interesting to hear where he comes from, both musically and as a person, and we can explore through some of the fantastic archive that we have made up fantastic archive that we have made up from fantastic archive that we have made upfrom our fantastic archive that we have made up from our show in the last 26, 27 yea rs, up from our show in the last 26, 27 years, the things he likes and the things that have inspired him. So we will be talking to him tonight. 27 yea rs, 55 will be talking to him tonight. 27 years, 55 series. Maybe they should make a statue of me and put it outside the public. At deptford broadway. 55 series, thats mind blowing. Its a wonderful thing. Its captured all this incredible music. It has captured some people at the very beginning of their careers and some people at the height of their powers, and some people before they have left this world. Its a fantastic archive for ever now that has been built up, which i think we are all very proud of. I will ask you the most awkward question to answer, your own highlight, jools. If i let you pick three top highlights. It is very hard. Its like being asked to pick your favourite child. With that question, if you ask parents, if you caveat it with the word today. Its true they can pick one if you have today. You can pick one today and its fine. It might be a different one tomorrow. Off the top of my head i would say amy winehouse, she was on a hootenanny and we played a duet with my band and we played a duet with my band and paul weller. That was something, something happened, it was a spontaneous thing that was pretty fantastic. I think bb king was pretty fa ntastic fantastic. I think bb king was pretty fantastic when he was at the top of his power, when he came on, he was a really great. There has been so much. Abdullah ebrahim was amazing when he came on. I might do amazing when he came on. I might do a track with him for my new piano record. I was speaking to him the other day. There is so much, i get overwhelmed and delighted at the same time. I would like to have a statue of them all how the creative juices flowing for you during lockdown . Of course, the bad side of it, all musicians everywhere are having a very hard time, not only because they cant work, like a lot of people in the world of entertainment, or the Hospitality Industry is, i know its very hard for everybody. But musicians are doing something more than just work for them, its something thats part of their actual being, performing. Good musicians are always match fit, and that means you are out playing shows all the time and nobody is. It means instead of doing that you have to play at home a lot. I have been working with the a record producer and working up a lot of piano things. I have been focusing on the piano, making it my friend and making a piano record. But it is difficult for a lot of people because you cant get out and play to the people and thats the thing that really connects. But we will do soon. One day it will all be over and we can look back on it. In terms of the tv show, and you mentioned the new year show, hootenanny, can you make them work with social distancing . First of all, im really excited about the new series of lockdown laters. The first one we had to do as a zoom call like this. Now we have the regulation changes we are allowed to have the guest in the room. So this week is the first one and we will talk to michael because he won the Mercury Prize. Next week we have robert plant, who has a fantastic story to tell, which he tells through the wonderful archive we have. So we have a great, established legend like that, one of the great singers of all time, and then a brand new artist, vying for then a brand new artist, vying for the number one spot in the charts with the Rolling Stones the other week so its a great mix of people you can have as with the new years eve show, which i hope you can both come to, we are planning to have something but it might have to be on a smaller scale. But we want to have something because every year we are there celebrating the hootenanny and it would be a shame not to be there this year. Hopefully everybody will be looking forward to a new year coming in so we can move onto the next one and we can celebrate it together. How quite we will do that we will have to figure out as we get closer to the time. You tease, offering the invitation and then saying, we might not be able to fit you in with the rules very cruel. Sorry not for Breakfast Television thats not fair i would love to have you there, and i insist you, if we can do it. You can give your predictions and highlights of the year. I envy you completely because you get to work with so many brilliant people and do such creative stuff and it keeps us going. I have to say thank you for that, jools and thank you for being with us this morning. Jools holland speaking to us, celebrating the Mercury Prize award winner. He has a new series of later, the 55th series. Not 55 years. That will be on at 10pm tonight on bbc two. We wa nt to on at 10pm tonight on bbc two.
