themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-22--Everything Boris Johnson said tonight - the Prime Minister's statement in full

Boris Johnson addressed the nation tonight to outline the new lockdown measures to tackle the sharp rise in coronavirus cases .
The Prime Minister spoke during a live televised broadcast at 8pm .
Mr Johnson warned those who believe contracting a mild illness of coronavirus wo n't do any harm as he spelt out the tragedy that can come with the deadly virus .
The PM also warned about tougher penalties for those who continue to flout the rules - promising to add more police to the streets and to bring in the army if necessary .
Furthermore , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restrictions if Britons fail to follow the new measures put forward in the Commons today .
He outlined what could happen if the country entered another lockdown , similar to the one in March , which would mean `` renewed loneliness '' and threats to `` not just jobs and livelihoods but the loving human contact on which we all depend . ''
Along with added pressure on the NHS .
Here 's exactly what he said to Britain , word-for-word .
Good evening , the struggle against Covid is the single biggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lifetime .
In less than a year this disease has killed almost a million people , and caused havoc to economies everywhere .
Here in the UK we mourn every person we have lost , and we grieve with their families .
And yet I am more certain than ever that this is a struggle that humanity will win , and we in this country will win , and to achieve what we must , I want to talk to you directly tonight about the choices that we face , none of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action now .
I know that we can succeed because we have succeeded before .
When the sickness took hold in this country in March , we pulled together in a spirit of national sacrifice and community .
We followed the guidance to the letter .
We stayed at home , protected the NHS , and saved thousands of lives .
And for months with those disciplines of social distancing , we have kept that virus at bay .
But we have to acknowledge this is a great and freedom-loving country ; and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rules there have been too many breaches – too many opportunities for our invisible enemy to slip through undetected .
The virus has started to spread again in an exponential way .
Infections are up , hospital admissions are climbing .
We can see what is happening in France and Spain , and we know , alas , that this virus is no less fatal than it was in the spring , and that the vast majority of our people are no less susceptible , and the iron laws of geometrical progression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we risk many more deaths , many more families losing loved ones before their time .
And I know that faced with that risk , the British people will want their government to continue to fight to protect them , you , and that is what we are doing , night and day .
And yet the single greatest weapon we bring to this fight is the common sense of the people themselves – the joint resolve of this country to work together to suppress Covid now .
So today I set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ England – early closing for pubs , bars ; table service only ; closing businesses that are not Covid secure ; expanding the use of face coverings , and new fines for those that fail to comply .
And once again asking office workers to work from home if they can , while enforcing the rule of six indoors and outdoors – a tougher package of national measures combined with the potential for tougher local restrictions for areas already in lockdown .
I know that this approach – robust but proportionate – already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parties in Parliament .
After discussion with colleagues in the devolved administrations , I believe this broad approach is shared across the whole UK .
And to those who say we don ’ t need this stuff , and we should leave people to take their own risks , I say these risks are not our own .
The tragic reality of having Covid is that your mild cough can be someone else ’ s death knell .
And as for the suggestion that we should simply lock up the elderly and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would entail – I must tell you that this is just not realistic , because if you let the virus rip through the rest of the population it would inevitably find its way through to the elderly as well , and in much greater numbers .
That ’ s why we need to suppress the virus now , and as for that minority who may continue to flout the rules , we will enforce those rules with tougher penalties and fines of up to £10,000 .
We will put more police out on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backfill if necessary .
And of course I am deeply , spiritually reluctant to make any of these impositions , or infringe anyone ’ s freedom , but unless we take action the risk is that we will have to go for tougher measures later , when the deaths have already mounted and we have a huge caseload of infection such as we had in the spring .
If we let this virus get out of control now , it would mean that our NHS had no space – once again – to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other non-Covid medical needs .
And if we were forced into a new national lockdown , that would threaten not just jobs and livelihoods but the loving human contact on which we all depend .
It would mean renewed loneliness and confinement for the elderly and vulnerable , and ultimately it would threaten once again the education of our children .
We must do all we can to avoid going down that road again .
But if people don ’ t follow the rules we have set out , then we must reserve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must take action now because a stitch in time saves nine ; and this way we can keep people in work , we can keep our shops and our schools open , and we can keep our country moving forward while we work together to suppress the virus .
That is our strategy , and if we can follow this package together , then I know we can succeed because in so many ways we are better prepared than before .
We have the PPE , we have the beds , we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – pioneered in this country – that can help save lives .
And though our doctors and our medical advisers are rightly worried about the data now , and the risks over winter , they are unanimous that things will be far better by the spring , when we have not only the hope of a vaccine , but one day soon – and I must stress that we are not there yet – of mass testing so efficient that people will be able to be tested in minutes so they can do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ’ s the hope ; that ’ s the dream .
It ’ s hard , but it ’ s attainable , and we are working as hard as we can to get there .
But until we do , we must rely on our willingness to look out for each other , to protect each other .
Never in our history has our collective destiny and our collective health depended so completely on our individual behaviour .
If we follow these simple rules together , we will get through this winter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to come .
And the fight against Covid is by no means over .
I have no doubt , however , that there are great days ahead .
But now is the time for us all to summon the discipline , and the resolve , and the spirit of togetherness that will carry us through .

Here's exactly what he said to Britain, word-for-word.
Statement in full
Good evening, the struggle against Covid is the single biggest crisis the world has faced in my lifetime.
In less than a year this disease has killed almost a million people, and caused havoc to economies everywhere.
Here in the UK we mourn every person we have lost, and we grieve with their families.
And yet I am more certain than ever that this is a struggle that humanity will win, and we in this country will win, and to achieve what we must, I want to talk to you directly tonight about the choices that we face, none of them easy, and why we must take action now.
I know that we can succeed because we have succeeded before.
When the sickness took hold in this country in March, we pulled together in a spirit of national sacrifice and community. We followed the guidance to the letter. We stayed at home, protected the NHS, and saved thousands of lives.
And for months with those disciplines of social distancing, we have kept that virus at bay.
But we have to acknowledge this is a great and freedom-loving country; and while the vast majority have complied with the rules there have been too many breaches – too many opportunities for our invisible enemy to slip through undetected.
The virus has started to spread again in an exponential way. Infections are up, hospital admissions are climbing.
We can see what is happening in France and Spain, and we know, alas, that this virus is no less fatal than it was in the spring, and that the vast majority of our people are no less susceptible, and the iron laws of geometrical progression are shouting at us from the graphs that we risk many more deaths, many more families losing loved ones before their time.

And I know that faced with that risk, the British people will want their government to continue to fight to protect them, you, and that is what we are doing, night and day. And yet the single greatest weapon we bring to this fight is the common sense of the people themselves – the joint resolve of this country to work together to suppress Covid now.
So today I set out a package of tougher measures in England – early closing for pubs, bars; table service only; closing businesses that are not Covid secure; expanding the use of face coverings, and new fines for those that fail to comply.
And once again asking office workers to work from home if they can, while enforcing the rule of six indoors and outdoors – a tougher package of national measures combined with the potential for tougher local restrictions for areas already in lockdown.
I know that this approach – robust but proportionate – already carries the support of all the main parties in Parliament.
After discussion with colleagues in the devolved administrations, I believe this broad approach is shared across the whole UK. And to those who say we don’t need this stuff, and we should leave people to take their own risks, I say these risks are not our own.
The tragic reality of having Covid is that your mild cough can be someone else’s death knell.
And as for the suggestion that we should simply lock up the elderly and the vulnerable – with all the suffering that would entail – I must tell you that this is just not realistic, because if you let the virus rip through the rest of the population it would inevitably find its way through to the elderly as well, and in much greater numbers.

That’s why we need to suppress the virus now, and as for that minority who may continue to flout the rules, we will enforce those rules with tougher penalties and fines of up to £10,000. We will put more police out on the streets and use the army to backfill if necessary.
And of course I am deeply, spiritually reluctant to make any of these impositions, or infringe anyone’s freedom, but unless we take action the risk is that we will have to go for tougher measures later, when the deaths have already mounted and we have a huge caseload of infection such as we had in the spring.
If we let this virus get out of control now, it would mean that our NHS had no space – once again – to deal with cancer patients and millions of other non-Covid medical needs.
And if we were forced into a new national lockdown, that would threaten not just jobs and livelihoods but the loving human contact on which we all depend.
It would mean renewed loneliness and confinement for the elderly and vulnerable, and ultimately it would threaten once again the education of our children. We must do all we can to avoid going down that road again.
But if people don’t follow the rules we have set out, then we must reserve the right to go further. We must take action now because a stitch in time saves nine; and this way we can keep people in work, we can keep our shops and our schools open, and we can keep our country moving forward while we work together to suppress the virus.
That is our strategy, and if we can follow this package together, then I know we can succeed because in so many ways we are better prepared than before.
We have the PPE, we have the beds, we have the Nightingales, we have new medicines – pioneered in this country – that can help save lives.
And though our doctors and our medical advisers are rightly worried about the data now, and the risks over winter, they are unanimous that things will be far better by the spring, when we have not only the hope of a vaccine, but one day soon – and I must stress that we are not there yet – of mass testing so efficient that people will be able to be tested in minutes so they can do more of the things they love. That’s the hope; that’s the dream. It’s hard, but it’s attainable, and we are working as hard as we can to get there.
But until we do, we must rely on our willingness to look out for each other, to protect each other. Never in our history has our collective destiny and our collective health depended so completely on our individual behaviour.
If we follow these simple rules together, we will get through this winter together. There are unquestionably difficult months to come.
And the fight against Covid is by no means over. I have no doubt, however, that there are great days ahead.
But now is the time for us all to summon the discipline, and the resolve, and the spirit of togetherness that will carry us through.

A total of 230 schools across Greater Manchester now have pupils and staff isolating amid outbreaks of coronavirus.
Thousands of children are affected across the region by positive cases that have seen classes and entire year groups sent home for a fortnight.
We revealed yesterday how the number had topped 200. Now a further 27 have been confirmed - and that's only the ones the Manchester Evening News has been alerted to.
The true figure is expected to be much higher.
Among those confirmed today is the full closure of a primary school in Salford.
St Gilbert's RC Primary in Winton, Eccles, has been forced to close to every year group after positive Covid cases left just two teachers on site.
There have been a number of positive tests throughout the school, including confirmed cases among eight members of staff, meaning 18 staff members need to self-isolate.

Boris Johnson has warned those who believe contracting a mild illness of coronavirus wo n't do any harm .
Addressing the nation live on TV this evening , the Prime Minister spelt out the tragedy that can come with the deadly virus .
After outlining a string of new lockdown measures that were announced in Parliament earlier today , Mr Johnson said that a 'mild cough can be someone else 's death knell . '
He said : `` To those who say we do n't need this stuff , we should leave people to take their own risks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our own .
`` The tragic reality of having Covid is that your mild cough can be someone else 's death knell .
`` And as for the suggestion that we could simply lock up the elderly and the vulnerable , with all the suffering that would entail , I must tell you , that this is just not realistic because if you let the virus rip through the rest of the population , it would inevitably find its way through to the elderly as well , and in much greater numbers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's why , we need to suppress the virus now . ''
Mr Johnson began his speech by saying that Covid-19 has killed almost a million people and “ caused havoc ” to economies everywhere .
“ Here in the UK we mourn every person we have lost and grieve with their families , ” he said .
However he urged that he is certain “ humanity will win ” and that he knows the country `` can succeed because we have succeeded before '' when the country pulled together “ in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March during the national lockdown .
Speaking in the Commons earlier , the PM admitted that like other countries , the UK is now at a `` perilous turning point '' when it comes to a second wave of the virus .
New cases have quadrupled in a month , with the possibility of tens of thousands of new cases each day in November .
While he was keen to insist that the country will not face a total lockdown like the one that was imposed in March , he made it clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suppress the disease .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-22--Man City evening headlines as Pep Guardiola makes Fernandinho admission

Good evening , Manchester City fans .
Here are your evening headlines for Tuesday , September 22 .
Pep Guardiola ’ s summer shopping is not yet complete despite the additions of Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres .
The former showed his class in Manchester City 's away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers while the latter came on as a late substitute .
Despite Ake ’ s strong performance , City are still a centre-back short .
The out-of-favour John Stones started alongside the Dutch international at Molineux .
City ’ s number one target Kalidou Koulibaly may prove to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which could lead the club to pursue Sevilla 's .
The signing of a 21-year-old Europa League winner would make more financial sense than acquiring Koulibaly , who turns 30 this season .
Kounde would almost certainly demand a smaller wage than the Senegal international , who is well-aware he is one of the most sought-after defenders in world football .
Kounde showed his class at Bordeaux before sealing a move to Sevilla where he has gone from strength-to-strength .
Due to the Covid-19-impacted transfer market and the financials involved in both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kounde their priority .
Fernandinho will continue to play a key role for City this season despite turning 35 in May .
Guardiola heaped praise on the former Shakhtar Donetsk man , who deputised at centre-back for much of the 2019/20 campaign , following his display against Wolves .
Although Guardiola recognises Fernandinho ’ s body will not allow him to keep up with City ’ s congested schedule , the Catalan coach expects the new club captain to play a major part across the various competitions the club are competing in this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years old and he can ’ t play every three days , ” Guardiola said following the Wolves victory .
`` He ’ ll be really important , ” he added , redressing the balance .
Former Manchester City full-back Micah Richards has rejected claims on social media that his appearance as a regular pundit on Sky Sports is due to his race .
During Sky ’ s Monday Night Football coverage , Richards spoke about the abuse he has received on Twitter and Instagram suggesting he is only given opportunities due to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement and because it is good PR for companies .
The Premier League winner defended his punditry credentials and what he feels he can bring to the table .
“ I 've had conversations with corporations that I work for way before this and now I 'm getting tarnished with the same brush 'oh he 's only on TV because of Black Lives Matter , ’ ” Richards opined .
Similar criticisms have been levelled against Karen Carney and Alex Scott – both former England internationals – who are unfairly accused of being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counterparts .
`` If I have to fly the flag , if people want to throw stones at me , I 'll happily take it because I know I put in the work , ” Richards said .

Good evening, Manchester City fans. Here are your evening headlines for Tuesday, September 22.
City change strategy in centre-back search
Pep Guardiola’s summer shopping is not yet complete despite the additions of Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres. The former showed his class in Manchester City's away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers while the latter came on as a late substitute.
Despite Ake’s strong performance, City are still a centre-back short. The out-of-favour John Stones started alongside the Dutch international at Molineux.
City’s number one target Kalidou Koulibaly may prove to be unattainable at the price quoted by Napoli, which could lead the club to pursue Sevilla's Jules Kounde .
The signing of a 21-year-old Europa League winner would make more financial sense than acquiring Koulibaly, who turns 30 this season.
Kounde would almost certainly demand a smaller wage than the Senegal international, who is well-aware he is one of the most sought-after defenders in world football.
Kounde showed his class at Bordeaux before sealing a move to Sevilla where he has gone from strength-to-strength.
Due to the Covid-19-impacted transfer market and the financials involved in both deals, City could end up making Kounde their priority.

Fernandinho remains vital for Guardiola
Fernandinho will continue to play a key role for City this season despite turning 35 in May.
Guardiola heaped praise on the former Shakhtar Donetsk man, who deputised at centre-back for much of the 2019/20 campaign, following his display against Wolves.
Although Guardiola recognises Fernandinho’s body will not allow him to keep up with City’s congested schedule, the Catalan coach expects the new club captain to play a major part across the various competitions the club are competing in this season.
“He’s 35 years old and he can’t play every three days,” Guardiola said following the Wolves victory. "He’ll be really important,” he added, redressing the balance.
Richards defends punditry credentials
Former Manchester City full-back Micah Richards has rejected claims on social media that his appearance as a regular pundit on Sky Sports is due to his race.
During Sky’s Monday Night Football coverage, Richards spoke about the abuse he has received on Twitter and Instagram suggesting he is only given opportunities due to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and because it is good PR for companies.
The Premier League winner defended his punditry credentials and what he feels he can bring to the table.
“I've had conversations with corporations that I work for way before this and now I'm getting tarnished with the same brush 'oh he's only on TV because of Black Lives Matter,’” Richards opined.
Similar criticisms have been levelled against Karen Carney and Alex Scott – both former England internationals – who are unfairly accused of being second-rate pundits in comparison to their male counterparts.
