The whole of England is to face a new month-long lockdown lasting until the second of December.

Boris Johnson announced that unless action was taken now, hospitals would be overwhelmed and there would be thousands of deaths every day.

He said no responsible Prime Minister could ignore the rising number of infections, despite having repeatedly rejected calls for a lockdown in recent weeks, in favour of local restrictions.

Under the new national lockdown restaurants and pubs will close, but takeaways and deliveries will be allowed.

All non-essential retail will also close, but supermarkets are to stay open

Mixing with other households inside homes or in private gardens will be banned except for childcare and other forms of support.

People are encouraged to work from home if possible. However unlike the first lockdown – schools, colleges and universities will stay open,

Published

An Israeli air strike on a town in southern Lebanon has killed six people, including three paramedics, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

It comes as the US said the two countries had agreed to a 45-day ceasefire.

The health ministry said a fourth paramedic had sustained “critical injuries” after a civil defence centre was attacked in the town of Harouf.

The Israeli military told the BBC it had “identified” and “eliminated” two “Hezbollah terrorists”, adding “steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harm to civilians”.
