And another rugby match is called off, after six more sale sharks players test positive for covid 19. And coming up in sport on bbc news, the latest from Roland Garros as the quarterfinals continue, with the former wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in action. Good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. Scotlands first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, is preparing to announce new measures to try to slow the surge in coronavirus cases although shes ruled out returning to a full lockdown. About 730 new cases are being recorded every day in scotland compared with fewer than 300 a fortnight ago. Its understood more travel restrictions could be introduced, and hospitality venues may see tighter controls. Business leaders have called on the Scottish Government to put support in place for any companies that are affected. Heres our scotland correspondent, james shaw. The Scottish Government has not said exactly which sectors will be affected by new restrictions. There have been hints that hospitality is one area which is being looked at. Lots of factors make it easy for the virus to spread the difficulty of social distancing, poor ventilation, crowds, alcohol and households mixing together. Were not businesses that can just be turned on and turned off. Were dealing with fresh food, were dealing with, you know, long term bookings, people that are Planning Special occasions in advance, and were dealing with our team and oursupply chain, but its just the confidence issue across the board. That is what is going to be the hardest thing. How do we build that back up again . Nicola sturgeon has said that schools will stay open and there wont be a scotland wide travel ban, although local travel bans have not been ruled out. Yesterday, 800 new cases of coronavirus were announced across the country. 262 people are currently being treated for coronavirus in scotlands hospitals, and 25 patients are in intensive care. More than 2,500 people have died after testing positive for coronavirus in scotland. Changes could happen as soon as the weekend, when many schools will start autumn half term holiday not a happy prospect for those who have been planning to get away or are worried about their jobs in hospitality. My business, where we have our hotels running at pretty much 100 next week, if thats cut by half because of travel restrictions, well never get that back, and the consumer confidence, why would you then book a further short break in scotland which you mch desire and need and you are nervous about booking because you fear something that might happen which means your booking is cancelled . The big question around a possible Circuit Breaker is, will it work . We need a balanced approach to this, but we are still going to have to consider if there is evidence that particular behaviours are causing disproportionate levels of infection, they may well need to be curtailed. The Scottish Governments Public Health experts believe even a couple of weeks could buy time for the nhs. It might slow the spread of the virus just enough to get the Health Service through the winter months, which are always a challenge and are likely to be even harder in this year of coronavirus. James shaw, bbc news, glasgow. The number of cases in the north of england remains high, and there are suggestions that more restrictions may be introduced in nottingham, where infections have surged. In a moment, well hear from our correspondent phil mackie in nottingham, but first, fiona trott is in newcastle. What is the feeling where you are fiona . Well here we are seeing a rise in case, a rise in hospital admissions and questions over whether or not restrictions are working, let me give you an example. Figures suggest eight of the ten worst affected areas are here, in the north, manchester has a highest rate of infection, latest figures suggest, with over 3,000 cases in the past week alone. When it comes to hospital admissions we have seen thatjump, by to hospital admissions we have seen that jump, by about to hospital admissions we have seen thatjump, by about a quarter in englands hospitals in just thatjump, by about a quarter in englands hospitals injust one day, again, two thirds of those hospital admissions here in the north. Now, in some of those areas, there are tougher restrictions here in the north east for example you cannot socialise in any indoor setting u nless socialise in any indoor setting unless you are in a support bubble. Yet you have the leaders of councils here in the north. So here in newcastle, liverpool, leeds, writing letters to the Health Secretary competitor, joe biden. Saying restrictions are not working, with less than a month to go and the campaign thrown we wa nt saying restrictions are not working, we want more autonomy and also that into chaos by covid 19, will be because there may be the stakes are high. Sophie long, bbc news, different spikes in different parts salt lake city. Lets speak to our correspondent of the north for different reason, it might be down to deprivation, to gary 0donoghue in washington. Student number, of course the department of health and social care saying it is working closely with goodness, it is a sign of the times local authorities, when it comes to that there is so much interest in the Vice President ial debate. Yes, intervention, but professorjohn this would normally pass without too edmunds who advices the government much note, quite frankly, but there has said more stringent National Area number of lockdown measures are needed. You much note, quite frankly, but there are a number of reasons it is get the sense here in the north more important. Firstly, of course, this is the First Time Ever we will see a targeted measures would be black woman in a Vice President ial supported, but not stricter measures. Here in the north east for debate. That is an important example the highest Unemployment Rate in the uk. It doesnt want milestone in american political history. And of course, there two stricter rules. Fiona, thank you for now. Phil in bosses are history. And of course, there two bosses a re pretty history. And of course, there two bosses are pretty old, frankly. The former Vice President is 77, and nottingham. Big figures were you donald trump, with covid 19, is 74, are. Yes, and surprisingly they have gone up are. Yes, and surprisingly they have gone up so so that old saying about the vice are. Yes, and surprisingly they have gone up so much. The figures went up president being a heartbeat away from about 70 cases per 100,000 from the presidency has a particular people, to 440 in the week up to the resonance in this particular state. And of course, with the lack of second 0ctober. That is partly due campaigning all of these people have been able to do, that also throws the adjustment for those additional the focus on this. Theres a lot at cases that werent originally included in the Public Health sta ke. The focus on this. Theres a lot at stake. You will see a different tone england data, so that has made some tonight. Im sure it wont be the of the difference but it cant account for all of it. And the ranting, shouting episode we saw outbreak isnt just last week. It will be a lot calmer account for all of it. And the outbreak isntjust confined to the and perhaps some of the issues will city but some neighbouring boroughs get a better airing. Gary as well, so, nottingham is probably 0donoghue, thank you. The next big city to go into some a hospital in kent where large numbers of patients contracted additional measures, it will start covid 19 after being admitted has to experience the kind of life they been ordered to make significant improvements have been living in the big north by the Care Quality Commission. In august, inspectors found that some staff east cities fairly soon. The at the William Harvey hospital near ashford were failing to follow director of Public Health minister here has said that is likely to basic rules around handwashing, ppe and social distancing. Happen. We expect the announcement 0ur social Affairs Correspondent 20 come tomorrow because there is every week a government meeting with Michael Buchanan is here. Department of health and local authorities and after that there is announcements are made. Toist give tell us more about this and remind us about it. It is quite you a sense of how big the outbreak extraordinary that months into the is, we are in an area where there is pandemic of these problems became apparent and they became apparent in a particularly large outbreak at the moment. Lots of students live here, july, with a number of people dying round the corner is a post box where of covid at this hospital and a number of people testing positive the royal mail has had to put extra for the virus two weeks after having staff on for collections because so been admitted without it were well many of the swabs are being posted above the english average. As you the box is getting full. People are say, inspectors from the Care Quality Commission found a litany of bracing themselves for extra problems. As you say, staff had not restriction, they will probably hear been properly trained in how to use what they are tomorrow. Pp which meant they were not wearing it properly. They were not following at Prime Ministers questions, proper hand hygiene rules. They were the labour leader, keir starmer, challenged borisjohnson to explain not practising social distancing why extra covid restrictions are imposed in some areas of the country, but not others. When they could. In a e, you had junior nurses who had received no training assessing patients, some of people wanting explanation as to the whom had covid and then at the top of the organisation, there was no rationalfor people wanting explanation as to the rational for the restrictions vicki. Think what has changed is back in director of Infection Control which meant the board of the trust had no the spring when we had the National Idea it was going on. Since then, lockdown, people understood that the trust that runs the hospital, message very clearly, things have obviously changed now. And a lot of William Harvey, east Kent Hospitals trust, say they have got a director of Infection Control in place now questions about whether these local and she is saying they have retrain lockdown restrictions are actually staff in use of ppe and hand hygiene working, with the suggestion as we heard there from phil, that in many and that they have made physical areas and in areas that have been changes to allow the staff to practice social distancing. Michael under restrictions for some time, it buchanan, thank you. Isnt making any difference, they wa nt to isnt making any difference, they want to know what the alternative is a businessman linked to organised and what is the trigger by which crime has agreed to hand property and cash worth nearly £10 million areas are put into, at these to the National Crime agency. Investigators say Mansoor Mahmood restrictions. This was the exchange hussain has long been an associate at Prime Ministers questions. Of gangsters involved in murder, this was the exchange fraud and drugs. At Prime Ministers questions. If the Prime Minister cant see he was unable to show and hear local communities when they say the infection rate has where his wealth had come from, as Dominic Casciani reports. Gone up tenfold under restrictions, and he doesnt realise thats a problem, then that is part mansoor Manni Hussain, of the problem. A high living wealthy property theres further cause of anger, developer from leeds. Lack of clarity about why particular restrictions have been introduced. For years, hes shown off a lavish lifestyle, for example, in the Prime Ministers attending vip events to pose alongside stars like beyonce, own local authority hillingdon, simon cowell and meghan markle. Today there are 62 cases per 100,000, yet no local restrictions, but in 20 local areas across england restrictions were imposed when infection but his outward respectability masked the truth. Rates were much lower. His friends included this man, bradford gangster Mohammed Nisar khan, known on the streets as king meggy, i wish i could pretend, mr speaker, jailed for life for murder. Everything was going to be rosy in the midlands, or indeed in london, mr speaker, where, alas, we are also seeing infections rise, and that is why we need over 20 years, Manni Hussain bought a concerted national effort, properties in london, we need to follow the guidance, cheshire, and west yorkshire. We need hands, face, space, the National Crime agency believes they were paid for with profits get a test if you have symptoms, and obey the rule of six. From the violent gangs he acted for. Today, he has handed 45 mr speaker, i think properties to the nca, it is quite extraordinary including this modern apartment the right honourable gentleman has said he personally supports the rule block in leeds, and this of six, while allowing his seven bedroom home, which he once lent to an armed robber rent free. Entire party to abstain. And thats because he faced an unexplained wealth 0rder from the courts to reveal the origins of his mysterious riches. This is a really important there will be real pressure on boris case for the nca. Johnson if Nicola Sturgeon decides its the first time we have recovered assets in relation to bring in tighter restrictions, to an unexplained wealth 0rder. There are meetings going on twine ministers and officials about what he was laundering on behalf of high level criminals to for england but there will be no in the Leeds Bradford area, return to a National Lockdown but lots of people expecting some kind so ensuring that their assets of move in the next few days. And his assets were clean assets thank you. And couldnt be taken away. When investigators looked there are concerns about the availability of vital testing materials for a range of conditions, including coronavirus, after a supply chain problem with into Manni Hussains life, the pharmaceutical giant, roche. The swiss firm says its experienced a very significant drop they didnt find enough evidence in its Processing Capacity to charge him with money laundering, because of an issue with a Distribution Centre in the uk. Hello but the unexplained wealth 0rder 0ur health correspondent, forced him to hand over his books. Lauren moss, is with me. And when he couldnt show how hed made his money, the game was up. Yes we do believe there is a lot more what is happening lauren . Roche is that could be pursued by the police here. Through our own research, we have identified over £5 billion one of the big providers. They are a worth of property in the uk owned with suspicious wealth. Clearly, the police need the resources and the tools necessary to be able to mount cases big supplyer of the antibody test. Such as this. Last month they relocated their lab one of the properties handed in east sussex to a fully automated over is a luxury flat in a block opposite harrods. When all the property is sold, one in east sussex, which would be the nca and the police will keep capable of providing more equipment, half the profits and the rest some in the medical community have will go to the treasury. Commented this may have been done as for Manni Hussain, he has not commented. He remains unconvicted of crimes, ahead of brexit, to mitigate but hes also the first suspected disruption to supply chain, in a money launderer in british history to hand over his wealth statement yesterday they said they without a fight. Dominic casciani, bbc news. Encountered unforeseen issues and a drop in Processing Capacity and getting the kit out and hospitals tesco has reported soaring profits for the First Six Months have been alerted and the bbc has of the financial year, been told that one trust has told as people bought more food during the coronavirus pandemic.

Stock it could have a knock on effect. Roche say they have greene king is closing dozens of pubs with the loss of 800 jobs. Recruited extra staff, they are its called on the government to provide urgent support for the pub prioritising the covid testing but sector while restrictions, such as the 10pm curfew, theissue prioritising the covid testing but the issue may not be resolved for remain in place. Two to three week, the Prime Minister has said the aim is to be carrying out 500,000 tests a day by the end of october and the knock on sale sharks last game of the delayed Premiership Rugby effect may have consequences on that season has been called off, ambition. After 27 players and thank you lauren. Staff tested positive alex salmond, the former for coronavirus in the past week. First minister of scotland, tried to persuade Nicola Sturgeon it means they cant now reach to stop allegations of misconduct the premiership final. Against him from becoming public, according to documents released 0ur Sports Correspondent andy swiss reports. By a committee of the their title hopes ended by covid. Scottish parliament. Lets speak to our correspondent, this was sale sharks training james shaw, in glasgow. Earlier in the summer, what do these documents show snuz challenging for the premiership while, like all teams, just to put the whole thing in being regularly tested. Can i just take your temperature . Context first of all, there were on and off the pitch, they were doing well until last allegation of Sexual Misconduct by alex salmond within the scottish week, when some 19 players government, which came forward a and staff tested positive. Couple of years ago, and were it happened shortly investigated. Now alex salmond after they won a cup competition. Challenged that investigation, took sale have strongly denied claims their players had been out it to court, and the scottish celebrating in manchester. Government that had to admit the but its now proved costly. Investigation had not been carried after eight more positives out properly and is what this committee of the Scottish Parliament emerged this morning, is looking at. Now a lot of evidence has come forward to the committee, theyve had to forfeit tonights pivotal game here against worcester, ending their hopes including from Nicola Sturgeon, the of becoming champions. First ministerfrom her in a statement, the club said. Including from Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister from her husband, Peter Morrell and others. Now in her this is devastating for sale sharks. Evidence we see a long series of the players and staff with covid 19 text message, exchanging between the denying the club the chance form ir first minister alex salmond, to challenge for the premiership the current first minister nicola title at the final hurdle. Sturgeon, in which he seeks to well, in a statement, persuade her to talk to the Premiership Rugby said they shared sale sharkss disappointment at the way their season had ended, but they couldnt jeopardise permanent secretary, to persuade her the health of any players or staff. As the rugby authorities investigate that the investigation should not be what has happened here, for the whole sport, continued, that it should go to arbitration, that it should not these are challenging times. Become public but the result of this worcester, who had expressed that in the end is Nicola Sturgeon concerns about playing sale tonight, says she cant intervene in the process , says she cant intervene in the process, that is not herjob, she welcomed the cancellation, has to stand aside from it. And she while the boss of another says that injuly of 2018 she has to stand aside from it. And she says that in july of 2018 she felt Premiership Club says the covid 19 she had to end the communication rules now need to be clarified. Between herself and mr salmond. What you have seen is that probably thank you. The regulations were based around how infectious are covid 19 particles when theyre an ability to fulfil a team. Circulating in the air . Understanding that is a challenge facing scientists all over put a team on the field, the world, as they try to learn more rather than the wider health implications. About how the virus is transmitted. Covid is also affecting the england squad. A team at the university of bristol Piers Francis has had to withdraw is using Ground Breaking technology after he tested positive. To examine the smallest francis played for northampton droplets as they float through the atmosphere. Against sale last week jon kay has been to see the work. It is one of the biggest questions we face right now. How long does covid 19 stay infectious in the air, whether we are at work, on public transport or socialising . At a secret location, scientists from the university of bristol are trying to find the answer. We were given exclusive access as they made their final preparations at this sealed laboratory. They are now taking samples containing the coronavirus, placing them in this unique bit of kit, and using an electric field, levitating the tiny droplets, making them hang around in the air for minutes or hours at a time, just as they would in the real world. Then, by adjusting the temperature, humidity and light, they can find out what impact those conditions have on the infectiousness 00 15 22,947 4294966103 13 29,430 of the virus
