For some of us today, there is more rain showers and brisk winds in the forecast but after today, things quietened down and it will dry up still be chilly. All of the details in about ten minutes. Its tuesday, october 13th. Our top story its emerged that the governments top scientific advisers called for much tougher coronavirus restrictions including a two week lockdown across england at a meeting in september, three weeks before the Prime Ministers new measures were announced yesterday. The new system will see all areas in england placed into three different categories of restrictions from tomorrow but do not go as far as the scientists recommendations. Our Political Correspondent helen catt has the story. Life in the Liverpool City Region is about to change significantly, again. The only place in england so far to be put straight into the highest of the new bands of restrictions. But millions of other people will see changes too because the virus continues to spread. These figures are flashing at us like dashboard warnings in a passengerjet, and we must act now. The new three tier system for england will replace current local lockdown restrictions, and comes into place on wednesday. Most of england will be put on medium alert level where the rule of six and 10pm hospitality curfew will continue. Some areas will be put at the high level. No household mixing indoors anywhere but the rule of six still applies outdoors. The most severe level of alert is very high. There will be no mixing of households anywhere. Pubs and bars will be closed unless they provide a substantial meal. But. I am not confident nor is anybody confident that the tier three proposals for the highest rates, if we did the absolute base case and nothing more, would be enough to get on top of it. That is why there is a lot of flexibility. The highest rate space all authorities also shot shops so in also shot shops liverpool, local authorities have agreed they will also shut leisure centres, gyms, betting shops and casinos. Residents will be encouraged not to leave be encouraged to stay away the area and visitors told to stay away. At the site at but its now emerged that the scientists advising the government had said in september that a much tougher batch of measures was needed then, to slow the spread of the virus in england. Labour says the government needs to explain why it ignored its own scientists. Downing street says the actions it took last month, like the rule of six, were robust but targeted and proportionate, and it followed extensive engagement. And even those have drawn criticism. In parts of the West Midlands which are going into the high alert level, households will no longer be able to socialise in pubs and restaurants. It is very disappointing. Its my view not the right decision both for the health and the livelihoods of citizens across the West Midlands. And quite simply, there is very, very little evidence that locations like this pass on the disease. A decision will be made on new lockdown measures in wales in the next few days. In Northern Ireland, Health Officials are calling for decisive action. And in scotland, nicholas sturgeon says she will draw up her own tiered framework towards the end of the month. Helen catt, bbc news. Lets get more on this with our Political Correspondent, iain watson. Iain, do we know why the government chose not to adopt these measures put forward by sage . Quite extensive measures suggested by the scientific advisors built up a circuit acre, a mini lockdown might last two or three weeks. To try to put the spread back by a month. Circuit breaker. The government said they took a robust targeted response and introduced a range of measures in september including of course the rule of six, including of course the rule of six, including this curfew on hospitality across england at 10pm so they did do some things but the crux of it is this, that in effect, what they are saying is they want to protect lives but also protect livelihoods. In other words, they are weighing up the effect of new measures on the economy as well as the outcomes for people s health and again, when were having this discussions with scientific advisors, government advisers are making it clear that they are notjust advisers are making it clear that they are not just talking to advisers are making it clear that they are notjust talking to the chief medical adviser but also the chief economist. What they wanted to do was minimum to keep the economy going and the maximum that they could do to try to protect life at the time but the old mantra that they were following the science, that seems to have gone out the window and labour are calling for an explanation as to why the government ignored scientific advice, as they see it, at the time. From the Government Point of view, they are making it clear that they will take further action and tougher action if thatis further action and tougher action if that is required. Thank you, iain was not we will be speaking to the labour party, john ashworth, Shadow Health secretary and also at 7. 30, the Community Secretary will be live on breakfast. The first minister of wales, mark drakeford, has threatened to ban people from covid hotspots in england from travelling to wales if borisjohnson refuses to impose the measure himself. The uk government has advised against non essential travel from merseyside, but stopped short of making it illegal. Mr drakeford said he would give ministers at westminster one final opportunity, before making changes to welsh law. Ministers in Northern Irelands devolved government are meeting today to decide on further restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Its understood senior advisors have suggested measures should last between four to six weeks to have the greatest effect. At the moment, there are tighter rules in londonderry and strabane where restaurants and pubs cant serve customers indoors. Homeless charities are warning that plans to re open night shelters could put lives at risk this winter because its difficult to make them covid secure. The government is being urged to fund self contained emergency accommodation as it did during the main lockdown period. The department for housing, says io Million Pounds is being made available to councils and has promised guidance on safely re opening shelters. Less than two weeks after confirming he had covid 19, donald trump is back out on the campaign trail, with the us president ial elections now just three weeks away. The president told supporters in the key state of florida that he was fully recovered and returned to criticising his democratic opponentjoe biden, who was campaigning in another crucial state, 0hio. Lets speak now to our correspondent peter bowes in los angeles. Just give us an assessment of what happened in the last few hours. Yes, good morning. Well, President Trump is back to being his usual energetic sense is back to being his usual energetic sense self. He bounded onto the stage in florida. His first task was to throw some trump face masks into the crowd and during his speech he was essentially celebrating his own recovery saying that he felt powerful and full of health and that he would go into the crowd and kiss everyone. Just before he arrived, his dock doctor arrived and said he had tested negative on two consecutive days, negative for the virus. His mood at this rally a shock contrast to the mood and tone ofjoe biden who was in cincinnati earlier in the day and it was a very serious tone. He was talking about the number of people who wont be around the dinner table. The brothers and sisters, the parents and grandparents who have died because of coronavirus. Again, attacking donald trump and the Trump Administration for their response to the disease. It is very clear with just three weeks to go until the election, this disease, the coronavirus, is going to stay, front and centre, of the campaign. But the style, the substance and i think the content style, the substance and i think the co nte nt of style, the substance and i think the content of the message from both of these candidates will be very, very different and it will give americans, when they go to the polls, a very clear choice. Its a big night for wildlife photographers, as they wait to find out whos won this years wildlife photographer of the year award. The winner will be revealed by the duchess of cambridge later. Heresjust some of the thousands of submissions. This one is by makoto ando. Evie easterbrook took this portrait of some puffins. This dramatic picture of widlifes in brazil was captured by Charlie Hamilton james. And these little possums were caught on camera by gary meredith. Good luck to them all. I cant think of the word possums without hearing the voice of dame edna average. Everidge. Now the weather with carol. Quite a bit of cloud around and rained today with same showers and brisk winds. After today, things turn a bit drier than they have been, some drizzle and it will, remain dry, some of us after chilly start. This goes round into southern england and a bit in the south east will drift west. As we move north, one or two showers to start the day in Northern Ireland but drying up to you with some sunshine and the same in scotland, were looking at improving through the course of the day as a rain band sinks south into Northern England still a bit of cloud and murky conditions around the borders. Temperatures today about a 10 13. If you are stepping out this afternoon, improving in South West England, it will dry out with fewer showers and sunshine and the showers getting into the Channel Islands. Some sunshine for Northern Ireland. Still some dampness across the south east of scotland but for the south east of scotland but for the rest of scotland, mostly dry with some sunshine and also fewer showers. As we head on through the evening and overnight, once again, the rain will come in from the north sea, showers in the south and under clear skies we could see a touch of frost and in sheltered glands of scotla nd frost and in sheltered glands of scotland and potentially to the west of Northern Ireland as well. I will have a much longer forecast in about half an hour. Lets take a look at todays papers. Theres lots of reaction to the new restrictions in england. The telegraph says the government overruled scientific advisers who wanted much stricter National Measures last month. The times says millions more people could soon be living under tighter restrictions, with the Prime Minister apparently keen for much of the north of england to join liverpool in the top tier of measures. The metro reflects on liverpools tough new restrictions. Pubs and bars will be forced to close tomorrow and households cant mix. And on the back pages this morning news that 13 premier league clubs have united to oppose plans drawn up by Manchester United and liverpool to reform the english football leagues. Imight i might have mixed my duchesses up, it was the duchess of cambridge not duchess of sussex. What have you got there . Mine are all food related. Yesterday we were talking about rob burrow. The documentary that was meant to be on last night, lots of people were waiting seven oclock on bbc two but because of the Prime Minister s press conference, that has been moved until tonight. So the 0ne has been moved until tonight. So the one show was moved over to bbc two and we wanted to make sure as many people as possible could watch the rob burrow documentary. It is on bbc two tonight at seven p. M. A p pa re ntly apparently some people leave food in the garden for wild animals thinking now kind but it causes Competition Among animals in conflict with humans. They have been looking at boxes and martens, and some of the animals get 50 of their died from human sources. Foxes. The british habit of leaving food out the animals like foxes could have unintended consequences. animals like foxes could have unintended consequences. I imagine you do a good christmas dinner.

There will be a scramble to get a turkey for christmas this year, butchers have warned, because of disruption in the supply chain. And the reason why i mentioned potatoes, there may be a shortage of tito s after farmers planted this year when they were spooked by lustys bloods. Potatoes. Year when they were spooked by lustys bloods. Potatoeslj year when they were spooked by lustys bloods. Potatoes. Iwill have to grow some potatoes. Last yea rs have to grow some potatoes. Last years bloods. The top ten food gripes. Tell me if you do any of these. Do you dip a chip in someone elses catch up . Probably. Help yourself to someone elses naan bread . No. Sharing a pizza, would you take an extra slice . No. A massive handful of crisps when someone offers . Definite. What about eating from somebody elses late when they pop to the loo . No. 0utrageous. Not ordering a side dish but tucking into someone elses . I a lwa ys but tucking into someone elses . I always order a side dish. What about putting . 0h, always order a side dish. What about putting . Oh, yes. The top two, helping yourself to chips from someone elses plate without asking. Youve got to ask. Its annoying anyway. The top one apparently which probably doesnt happen much at the moment but taking a bite from someone elses berger. You cant, thats. Almost as someone elses berger. You cant, thats. Almost as bad as somebody elses ice cream. Hamburger. I do it with my children some time, if theyve run out of appetite and dad has to step in. That is the number one food based gripes. Less than two weeks after contracting covid i9, us President Donald Trump has been back out on the campaign trail. In front of an enthusiastic crowd in the important state of florida, the president was back on familiar ground, lambasting democratic rival joe biden. He also told supporters he was feeling a lot better. 0ne one thing with me, the nice part, i went through it, now they say i am immune, ifeel so went through it, now they say i am immune, i feel so powerful, went through it, now they say i am immune, ifeel so powerful, iwill walk in, i will walk in there and kiss everyone in that audience. I will kiss the guys and the beautiful women and everyone, i willjust give you a big fat kiss. But there is something nice, i dont have to be locked up in my basement and i wouldnt allow that to happen anyway, i wouldnt allow that to happen. When you are the president you cant lock yourself in the basement and so youre not going to bother with the world but he got to get out and its risky but youve got to get out but it does give you a good feeling when you can beat something and now they say youre immune, idont something and now they say youre immune, i dont know how long, some people say polite, some people say performance. Every time i think about it, it gets shorter and shorter because they wanted to be as bad as possible. Lets speak now tojohn hanley, a professor of Political Science at the university of florida who joins us from orlando. He is right back in there . The message to his core supporters and trampolining voters is that he is back, if you see from the video, he is enjoying being back. Quite a contrast with joe biden, particularly now. I think its been difficult for donald trump to find the right line between being optimistic and being positive on what is administration is doing, showing the proper respect for the virus. Joe biden has shown a different way and the polls attended in his favour as a result. It is about ten points up in the average. Lets talk about the president ial debate. We know it had to be postponed also refusing to take part ina postponed also refusing to take part in a virtual debate. What kind of impact will that have, and what impact will that have, and what impact do these debates have anyway . The debates of a small impact but there is only about 10 of the electorate that says they are still undecided, so this was going to be a debate that might not have been the best format for President Trump. It is, however, a debate that he probably needed more thanjoe biden did. He was giving joe biden a gift. The debate which will happen in about a week, it will have lost some of the momentum that comes from, in normal years, we have one debate every week for about four weeks, so there is talk about what is happening from one debate to the next. People are really going to remember what happened in late set timber by october 22. What is the main thing . So much of this has been dominated by coronavirus. When people are going to the polls, what is the forefront. The coronavirus is one of the most important rings. In florida, lots of ads for the biden campaign, talking to seniors, reminding them that they cant see their grandchildren, families have been disrupted, attributing many of the disruptions to the administration. Its going to be on the minds of a lot of voters. As they send their mail ballots in which is something that has risen to unprecedented levels. John, good to speak to you. Thank you for staying up speak to you. Thank you for staying up late. Were expecting the latest unemployment figures in less than an hours time this morning and they could sh
