Rain moving west to east but brighter conditions following on behind with the bible have all the details in ten minutes. Behind. Iwill have all the details in ten minutes. Behind. I will have all the details. Its monday october 12th. Our top story borisjohnson is to announce a new three tier system of local covid alert levels in england although its not clear what restrictions will apply to each tier. Its expected the Liverpool City Region will be put on the highest alert level in a statement the areas leaders said they had been told pubs, gyms and betting offices will close. Our reporterjohn mcmanus has this report. It was a weekend of barhopping and socialising for some on the street of liverpool, but later today, the government may announce that the party is over, for now. Like in the parts of the north west and north east of england, the transmission of covid 19 continues to rise. After a weekend of negotiations, between whitehall and local leaders, some likely measures are becoming clearer. It is expected that fred parts of the country will come under medium, high and very high alert levels. However, the full restrictions have yet to be announced and they may vary between areas with the same alert levels. The full details will be confirmed by the Prime Minister when he addresses parliament today. The government says it has worked closely with regional mayors but there has been significant pushback. The leader of the Liverpool City Region says gyms and betting shops will close, alongside pubs in his area. But he says a deal has not yet been done and he wants crucial information. Amongst the things we have asked the government for is giving us some advice on what the exit strategy will be for our area once the government has imposed those restrictions. Officials in manchester, meanwhile, says they have begun Legal Proceedings to challenge any closure of hospitality venues. Several breweries have also joined the application forjudicial review. They say there is no Scientific Evidence to support the measures. There is real concern that some pubs might not survive a second closure. It has been a long weekend, shall we say, ever since fridays announcement when we didnt find out anything and now possible closure again. There is a lot of pubs that wont recover from this. Other parts of england are also bracing themselves. Nottingham has the highest infection rate and the council expects new restrictions to be announced today. Whatever they may be, the direction of travel is becoming clearer. Lets get more on what were expecting to hear from the Prime Minister later. Our Political Correspondent nick early, joins us now. Nick, a significant day in englands approach to tackling the virus . I think that is right, louise. I think today we will get more of an idea, in england, anyway, what the next weeks and months are going to look like as the government tries to control the local outbreaks. This peer system is something that has been worked on for quite a while. Tier has there will be three levels, a medium which is broadly what we have in the moment, things like the rule of six. Then there is higher which will see a curb on meeting indoors, households gathering in indoors, households gathering in indoor spaces and then more serious tier which will be very high which will see some hospitality venues, things like pubs closed and people asked not to leave their local area. That last tier will mean impacts on peoples lives varied applies. The main contenderfor those restrictions at the moment is the liverpool region. It has not com pletely liverpool region. It has not completely confirmed that will happen today but the expectation is over the next few days, certainly, liverpool will see those significant extra restrictions come in. And even with, what, if you hours to go, it seems some of the details are still being ironed out . I think thats right. In part it is because there has been a lot of talk between mayors in the areas which could see big changes in the days and weeks and administered in number ten behind me. And ministers. Things like support for those sectors that could see significant closures in the next few days. We know that for example the chancellor has already said that for employees the government will paid two thirds of their salary. And if you are a minimum wage earner, that is not enough to get by. Also more specific support for those sectors like pubs which might have to close their doors saying, look, a lot of places are going to go bust, quite frankly, if they are going to have to close. Questions over how you get out of those local measures. We have talked a lot over the last weeks about new restrictions coming in. It is a lot rarer that people come back out of them. Any details of how they will be supported and how they will come out of it. I dont know if we will get all these details today but we will certainly try and find out and there is going to be a lot of activity here. We will be hearing from the Prime Minister and the chancellor this afternoon. We will try and get as much as we can on brea kfast try and get as much as we can on breakfast this morning. Well one area which is waiting to find out if it will be subject to tougher restrictions is nottingham it has the highest rate in england. Geeta pendse is there for us. Geeta, have the local council been told anything . As we understand, we havent been told anymore as to what those in restrictions will be. But people waking up this morning wondering how their lives will be different. Nottingham still has the highest rate of infection in the uk so it is now 760 per 100,000 people. That co m pa res to now 760 per 100,000 people. That compares to a National Average of 74. But compares to a National Average of 7a. But unlike places like high rates such as liverpool or manchester, nottinghamshire doesnt have any extra restrictions in place. That is why people will be waiting to hear from that announcement from the Prime Minister this afternoon and what they are really waiting on is to find out which tier in this new system nottinghamshire is going to be placed into. A leak document on friday suggested it will be in tier two. It will be a question onto how people will interact, as to whether households will be able to mix indoors. It is highly anticipated that that is what the government will restrict but what impact will it have on the Hospitality Industry here on pubs and bars. Everyone here in nottinghamshire bracing themselves for the news later today. Thank you, we will speak to you later on. More than 1,300 arts venues and organisations are to receive money from the governments culture recovery fund, to help them survive the pandemic. Grants worth a total of 257 Million Pounds have been announced. Beneficiaries include the cavern club in liverpool and other theatres, museums and Ballet Companies across england. The funds are intended to help the organisations produce work and keep going until the spring. All pregnant women are being encouraged to take up the offer of a free flu vaccination before the winter. Health experts say the jab is even more important than usual, because of covid 19. More people have been offered the vaccine this year anyone over 50 in england is also eligible. Now the weather with carol. You said it would be a dull day, i think. How lovely. Absolutely right. Yes, it is going to be quite a dull day, to start with at least stop a lot of cloud around this morning from the west heading east but behind the rain in the west later, it should right and up. What is happening is this clutch of fronts as low pressure comes in, a little ridge of low pressure. You might get it bright start but it will continue to drift east through the day. Not particularly heavy and it may become more fragmented through the day but you can see what i mean. Look at all this cloud. And then here comes the rain from west to east, risk wind as well coming in from the north west and as we go through the course of the day, it how it starts to brighten up across western scotland. Northern ireland and northwest winning north west england. The south west later on. Dusts particularly in the outer west and around the hebrides, gusts of 50 mph. Gusts. No heatwave today, looking at temperatures eight in lerwick to about 13 and 1a towards Western Areas. We are watching the rain push into the north sea and we will become ensconced and look how it curls right back. Still some showers out towards the west and are still quite a noticeable wind as well stop some rural areas in the north where we have clear skies, it might be cold enoughjust north where we have clear skies, it might be cold enough just for a touch of frost. Look at this front, it extends in the near continent and it extends in the near continent and it comes back across our shores and another one sinking south. Translated, where we have got those fronts, that means it will be wet. The rain in the south east drifts further west, have the rain coming and across parts of scotland sinking into Northern England and then we have the showers moving south from other fronts but as we push further north, drier and brighter with some sunshine and if showers but still quite windy and still feeling cool. It is definitely a week for getting out your coat. Got it already, thank you, carol. Later today were expecting to find out about potential new restrictions in areas of the country with high covid rates. So what will that mean for business . Nina is at wholesalers in cannock this morning to find out. Good morning to you. Good morning from the west midlands. We have tiger lager. That fancy lemonade was up tiger lager. That fancy lemonade was up quality products you would get behind the bar on your local high street or in a restaurant. What happens on the frontline of hospitality matters so much to businesses like this will stop if went for a burger and a glass of wine at the weekend, as i did, it is possible that the burger, the bun it is in and also the glass that your wine came in has come through a place like this. The announcement today really matters. Lets recap on the announcements from the chancellor on friday. Support for businesses, crucially, only businesses, crucially, only businesses which need to close. First of all, the exchequer will pay two thirds of the salaries of employees who cannot work. Secondly, there will be a grant, a payment of £3000 per month per business. Up to £3000, if that business has to close. That scheme will begin on the first of november and it will potentially be available for up to six months. But there is a huge cave yet, it is only businesses which are forced to shut. No good, then, for places like this which need to stay open and take what is less they can. Lets speak to andrew, the big boss here, controlling 7500 staff in the supply chain. Morning to you. I would imagine it is the weighting that has been killing you. Yes, the uncertainty. The complexity of the supply chain that supports hospitality and healthcare and education is vast. You cantjust turn these things on and off. We are supplying 13,000 products from around the world, long lead times, Speciality Products and also fresh fish, fresh fruit and veg, fresh meat. You need to have some understanding as to what is coming down the track in the next weeks and months was not you literally have lorries leaving here for manchester, liverpool, nottingham. Places where in those places, they may not be sold. We have kings going out to restau ra nts, sold. We have kings going out to restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals. Obviously we will get some news in the announcements and it will impact as to whether that will we received, that delivery. The government will proudly say the measures we have taken are unprecedented. We have supported hospitality through all of this was not what would you say to that . They have supported hospitality and it is warranted because hospitality is under pressure but what they havent done is give support to the supply chain that supports hospitality, education and healthcare. We have had no business rate relief, no grants, no rent assistance was not what we are calling for the government is to extend Business Rates relief to the wholesale sector because we are the ones that are supplying food and drinks to all these vital sectors of the economy. And the stakes are high because your business in the private sector is intertwined with Public Sector. Use supply schools, hospitals, prisons. You supply. Supply schools, hospitals, prisons. You supply. 30 of supply schools, hospitals, prisons. You supply. 3096 of our business is Public Sector but you cant run that unless you have the 70 that you have across the support and volume of that interest infrastructure. And the supply chain, public and private are so intrinsically linked. The placenta as they understand they have to make sacrifices, they have adapted really well to the measures so far. What they need to see is that it is working. Not all of them are convinced that restricting hospitality will bring down the rate in those areas. Nino, thank you very much indeed. Were talking about all this throughout the programme. So much uncertainty. For the moment, thank you. We will be speaking to culture secretary, oliver down, with him today. And it is on the front page of many of the newspapers today as well. Here we go again, says the metro, with borisjohnson expected to unveil new lockdown measures for england this evening. Online, the Liverpool Echo has been reacting to the confirmation that the city will be under the most severe of the three lockdown tiers. Pubs, bars and gyms are among the businesses that will have to close. The times says new restrictions are expected to be reviewed every four weeks. The picture is of the birmingham royal ballet which is among 1,300 arts organisations that the government says will benefit from a £257 million grant to help the industry survive the pandemic. And the mail says the premier league has descended into civil war following the emergence of plans to restructure the english Football Leagues. That is on the back page of many of the papers. Something else we want to talk to Oliver Dowden about as well. Essentially liveable than now chester united says there needs to bea chester united says there needs to be a change for the way the game is structured. Liverpool and Manchester United. Currently, if you wa nt to Manchester United. Currently, if you want to get something through the premier league, every club has a vote. They re premier league, every club has a vote. Theyre saying lets reduce the number of clubs that has a vote, and then the criticism is it is easierfor the big and then the criticism is it is easier for the big clubs and then the criticism is it is easierfor the big clubs to make it simplerfor them easierfor the big clubs to make it simpler for them and more easierfor the big clubs to make it simplerfor them and more profitable for them, and where are the sort of things that can stop them in the future renegotiating tv rights to benefit them rather than, sort of, smaller clubs. Theyre saying, were going to give you hundred £50 million different bodily clubs that are struggling for money, and the government is asking questions about the premier league and a cut on rights. Others are saying this is a disgrace, some others are saying this is a plan that could work. Disgrace, some others are saying this is a plan that could worklj didnt this is a plan that could work. |j didnt know i was going to be tested on that. There you go. This is a really interesting one on the inside pages. Really interesting one on the inside pa g es. Lots really interesting one on the inside pages. Lots of parents struggle, i imagine, with teenagers. Getting them off their phones. But there is research saying that texting could actually be good for young childrens Mental Health. It says they can cope better if they express their feelings. Sharing they can cope better if they express theirfeelings. Sharing emotions after a demanding situation or challenge boosted their moods and slow their heart rates. Texting friends after exams or breakups may be just what adolescents need to get them through it. That is food for thought or anybody with a teenager this morning.
