Boris Johnson threatens to impose highest level Covid restrictions on Manchester – BBC News
The Prime Minister has told the Mayor of Greater Manchester that he is prepared to intervene and impose the highest level of coronavirus restrictions on the region if they can’t reach an agreement.
The Mayor, Andy Burnham, is seeking a bigger package of financial support for businesses that would be forced to close as a result of the Tier 3 restrictions.
He has told Boris Johnson that local leaders are ready to meet the government at any time to seek agreement. Manchester has some of the highest levels of coronavirus transmission in the UK.
Meanwhile Lancashire has agreed to impose the highest restrictions, joining the Liverpool city region on Tier 3 â or Very High Alert.
It means no mixing between households indoors â or outdoors in certain settings including private gardens. Pubs and bars will close unless they serve a substantial meal. And people must avoid non-essential travel into or out of the area.
However there are some difference between Manchester and Liverpool, despite them both being placed at Tier 3. In Lancashire, unlike Liverpool, gyms and leisure centres won’t have to close but soft play centres and car boot sales will.
The Mayor of Liverpool says it’s âmadnessâ to have different rules for Lancashire and heâs warned that it is âsowing confusionâ.
Meanwhile people from areas of the UK with high levels of coronavirus – including Tier 2 in England – are now banned from entering Wales.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by deputy political editor Vicki Young, Judith Moritz in Lancashire and Wales correspondent Hywel Griffith.

As Canada continues to wage a trade war with the US, an internal battle is being fought over the countryâs identity. Next month, voters in Alberta, the countryâs wealthiest province, face a referendum on whether they want the opportunity to explore a separation from Canada.
Supporters say Alberta would thrive on its own, because of its rich reserves of oil and natural gas. Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned that independence would lead to years of economic and political turmoil, âright at a time the world is fundamentally uncertain.â
How might the Trump administration leverage this Canadian identity crisis? And how is the Alberta separatist movement complicating Carneyâs âCanada Strongâ messaging? Nadine Yousif, the BBCâs senior Canada reporter, explains.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to unveil plans that will see some asylum seekers flown to Rwanda in order to have their asylum applications processed.
The trial scheme would mean single men arriving in Britain via Channel crossings could be forcibly removed.
Refugee organisations have criticised the plans as cruel and urged a rethink.
The deal is expected to see the Rwanda, which is part of the Commonwealth, given an initial ÂŁ120m as part of a trial, but opponents say the annual cost of the full scheme would be far higher.

Over the last week, the Houthis – an Iran-backed militant group in Yemen – have captured two strategic islands along the Red Sea coast, consolidating its control of a key international shipping route known as the Bab al-Mandab strait.
Saudi Arabia has relied on access to the strait for exporting its oil to customers in Asia. With the Strait of Hormuz already closed due to the Iran war, the Houthisâ control of this vital waterway threatens to deepen the global oil supply crisis.
Tristan Redman is joined by the BBCâs Security Correspondent Frank Gardner to unpack who the Houthis are, what they want, and how they have come to hold so much influence on the worldâs economy.
