Feel for weekend. You have got a feel for stu d e nts weekend. You have got a feel for students wherever you stand politically or on the virus its an awful, especially for first year students. Back to the times, the front page story on the right hand side. Maya tellers about this. 10 Million People in london face local lockdown. Part of this is coming from the meier sadiq khan saying there is of the virus within london and calling on government to consider bringing in some of these restrictions we have seen elsewhere in the country like restricting household visits and what sadiq khan and the Mayors Office have said is that they think has been a fall in testing in the capital and this is actually masking the spread of the virus. So what city hall has claimed is that they have not been convinced by the testing figures. They have looked at other data like visits to
gps, people calling the nhs and hospital admissions and said that from looking at that it seems like london actually isnt so far behind other places in the country and so i think this is less, this should be seenin think this is less, this should be seen in line with some other thing that happened elsewhere like in the north east. That happened elsewhere like in the northeast. Just on that, the spread, i remember when these first local lockdown started coming in, people were joking this was a National Lockdown by the back door, they would have loads and loads, so many local lockdown as would join up and that was started as a bit of a joke, but actually when you look at whats happening that seems to be not that funny any more . You are really onto something because when you look at these local lockdown they are dressed up as localised, perhaps even temporary and yet that really hasnt been an area gone into local lockdown that hasnt come out yet. So it seems to be like thing you fall into and im really see
perhaps it as a jigsaw of tighter restrictions as we get into winter, god forbid. Nonetheless given this traffic light system it seems we can watch this happen in real time and the numbers are, yet in some ways it should be up to authorities to interpret what data they choose to prioritise because they place on great stock case numbers and in some ways many scientists would argue it should be be hospitalisation data that matters more and that is not quite as distressing as what the case numbers may seem quite as distressing as what the case numbers may seem like. Really interested to get your thoughts on the next tory maya. The International Issue of the Financial Times also quite an interesting kind of step back, bigger picture. Nations divided as europe fights to contain coronavirus surge. Essentially it tries to take the temperature of how willing we all are as populations to go along with what the governments are telling us to do. The story looks at different
places, predominantly at spain but also on france and the uk. There is the sort of tension between the two were the National Government says there needs to be stricter lockdown and the Regional Governments is pushing back against that but this comes in madrid at least thinking about spain specifically, this comes off the back of their were some protests at the weekend where people not only angry about what was happening with the lockdown or this proposed tightening of measures but what some people said was this is in some very poor areas and also people are concerned about their livelihoods, but they also feel what happened in madrid is that the National Lockdown used to quickly edit should have been much more thought put into the second wave and ive had some
criticism of the Regional Government that they hadnt put enough money into health care in the years leading up to this and so this discontent is not so simple as this National VersusRegional Government. What is bubbling under the surface is much more difficult and it think whats really, really alarming to see whats really, really alarming to see is the Regional Government in madrid sort of taking in i think it was at the end of last week taking a sort of anti immigration but i think its incredibly unhelpful to say it was immigrants that were to blame for this sort of uptick in madrid which i think isnt born out of any evidence but also is incredibly inflammatory at this time and actually society should be coming together in working together to really focus on how to control and stop the spread of the virus. We are running out of time, just before your thoughts on that story . We need to remember also even across europe the impact, not just to remember also even across europe the impact, notjust about stopping the impact, notjust about stopping the spread of the virus but remembering peoples livelihoods, impacted when you shutdown businesses. Pc protests and
researchers in france who are understandably upset to have their livelihoods ruin socially bear this in mind and notjust focus on covid 19 but the impact of those affected by the response to fighting it. Really interesting and nice segue because were going to look at the uk front page of the Financial Times. Normally obviously we try and finish maya with a slightly lighter story. Im afraid absolutely no such luck this time. The headline they are, acts set to fall on 1 million jobs this year. In the uk. This is saying that another 1 jobs this year. In the uk. This is saying that another1 Million People are going to lose theirjobs by the end of the year despite the fact the chancellor rishi sunak introduced some measures in order to sort of try and stave off people losing theirjobs and losing their incomes entirely and i think there are a number of things to think about very quickly. 0ne number of things to think about very quickly. One is that the economy is built on precarious foundations, a lot of people in insecure work and so we lot of people in insecure work and so we need to think about the much
longer term picture, how we got to this point where people are on the situation. And although there is no easy fix and the government has got everything right, ithink easy fix and the government has got everything right, i think we do need to recognise that britains economic downturn has been one of the worst in europe and what we need to be focusing on is making sure that there is proper investment and jobs are created and as we are doing this we are also moving towards a green economy. I dont want to frame covid 19 is an opportunity but i do it should force us to reflect on what has gone wrong and what needs to change in the future which is think about Economic Security for eve ryo ne think about Economic Security for everyone in a green way. Interact we will give you a chance to jump back in next time im afraid we are out of time but fascinating and great to hear both of your thoughts on some difficult stories and some really important ones too so thank you both asa and maya. Thank you. If youre in the uk, asa bennett and maya goodfellow
will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. Goodbye for now. Good evening. We start in the championship where there was one match tonight, huddersfield hosting Nottingham Forrest and keeping all three points atjohn smiths stadium. Just one goal separating the two sides, Harry Toffolo crossing in for Fraizer Campbell who vollied the ball beautifully into the net at the start of the second half. The win moves huddersfield up to 16th in the table. Nottingham forest have lost their opening 3 league games of the season for the First Time Since the 1950s. West ham manager david moyes will be instructing his side for this weekends match against wolves, despite isolating at home after testing positive for coronavirus. Assistant manager alan irving confimed he would have a direct line to moyes while in the dugout and that every decision would come from the manager. Moyes and players issa diop and josh cullen had to leave the london stadium before tuesdays carabao cup win over hull after testing positive for covid 19. He will make a decision on everything that he would make decisions on if he was here, so nothing has changed as far as that is concerned. A little bit like this press co nfe re nce , is concerned. A little bit like this press conference, i am just the messenger. Tomorrows league two match between cheltenham town and grimsby town has been called off because of coronavirus. A member of the grimsby squad has tested positive, meaning other players and staff have to self isolate. Its the Second League two match which has had to be postponed after leyton 0rients game away at walsall was called off. New dates will have to be found for the fixtures. Warrington won their ninth game in a row to go top of the super league. They beat catalans dragons 30 16. Dragons onlyjust made it to the ground on time after their plane was diverted. Warrington ran in five tries
including this late one from danny walker which wrapped up the victory. Wigan are up to second after a 28 16 win over wakefield trinity. Britains elliot giles came an impressive second in the mens 800m at the Diamond League in dubai. Giles ran a personal best of one minute 114. 56 seconds, close behind kenyas Ferguson Rotich who crossed in first place. Fellow briton Adelle Tracey was third in the womens 800m. Britains former Tour De France champion Geraint Thomas has come fourth in cyclings road World Championships in italy with home favourite, Filippo Ganna winning the title. The italian looked at home on the roads and race track at imola, upgrading his bronze from last year to gold. He beat belgiums wout van aert by 26 seconds. Geraint thomas, who was dropped from his ineos grenadier squad for the Tour De France earlier this
month, finished fourth and alex dowsett ninth. The womens road race takes place tomorrow with the mens on sunday. Now, he may have retired from test cricket more than two years ago as englands all time leading run scorer, but alastair cooks appetite for runs is as insatiable as ever. Cook scored 172 for essex against somerset on day three of the final of the bob willis trophy at lords. It was his 67th century in first class cricket. The match is delicately poised though. Essex lost late wickets, including cook, and will resume their first innings on 271 6 in reply to somersets 301. If the match finishes as a draw the side with the biggest first innings score will be champions. To tennis now and the French Federation say they regret the restrictions meaning only a thousand spectators each day can watch the french open, which starts on sunday. Organisers had already reduced the number from 11 and a half
organisers had already reduced the number from 11,500 5,000 but theyve now been forced to comply with new government coronavirus restrictions. By contrast, more than half a Million People attended the event at Roland Garros last year. Well, ahead of the tournament, defending champion rafa nadal said he expects things to really toughen up over the next couple of weeks. Nadal has won the mens singles 12 times since his debut in 2005, but the clay court event usually takes place in early summer when higher temperatures suit his game. Conditions here probably are the most difficult conditions for me ever. For so many different facts. The ball, completely different, the ball is super slow and heavy. Very cold, slow conditions, of course the preparation has been been less than unusual, but you know what . I am here to fight. We will get him some gloves. Mercedes have dominated second practice ahead of this weekends russian grand prix where Lewis Hamilton could equal Michael Schumachers record of 91 wins. Hes got team mate Valtteri Bottas standing in his way though. The firm was more than a quarter of a second quicker than hamilton around the sochi autodrome. Bottas was also fastest in first practice. Off the track its been announced former ferrari team boss stefano domeni cali will become president and ceo of formula 1 in january. Well, Lewis Hamiltons brother nicholas is also behind the wheel this weekend. Hes racing in the british touring car championship at silverstone for team hard. He told nesta mcgregor that the Hamilton Family are showing motorsport is a sport for all. If the Hamilton Family, me included, my dad and mum and everybody and lewis, if we cant make a change, then who will be able to . Because the Hamilton Family
is the biggest name in motorsport, and were not doing it for ourselves. Were doing it for others. I think they need to make sure they value this opportunity and trying get behind us in every way, and we can see theyre doing that but still a long way to go. Youre both racing on the same weekend. You finish first or lewis finishes first, will you be watching . Lewis is going to have a good weekend, i hope he does.

A lot of warmth and sunshine then. This weekend its going to be very chilly and not all that sunday for some hours across eastern parts of the uk. Still blowing a gale close to midnight on the north sea coast, gusts of wind in excess of 50 miles a member but much lighter the further north and west you are. In fa ct a further north and west you are. In fact a touch of frost forming across scotland. To the south of that we have strong wind temperatures wont be lower than around nine there. In norwich and also london. The forecast for saturday and many of us are pretty decent day. Certainly the best of the sunshine and calmer conditions will be across Western Areas of the uk but still blowing hard off the coast of norfolk and suffolk and the lincolnshire coastline. Temperatures only 13 so it feels chilly. This is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. Im Lewis Vaughan jones.
