Coronavirus: How to get a Covid test

An increase in demand for coronavirus tests has led to local shortages - with some people being directed to test sites hundreds of miles from their homes .
The government has defended its record on testing , but conceded that problems with the system are likely to continue .
Testing people and then tracing the contacts of those infected is considered vital to stop the disease from spreading .
You should seek a test if you show one of these three key symptoms : The idea of testing is to find people with the virus and keep them isolated to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community .
Until you can get a test it 's important you and your household self-isolate .
• Remember the R number ?
Why is it so important ?
How to get tested • Go online , or call 119 , before going to a drive-through or walk-through testing site - or a mobile testing unit • Order a home testing kit in the first four days of having symptoms What about the delays ?
The testing system has been experiencing a number of well-publicised problems and many people have struggled to book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increase in demand for tests ( although it 's unclear by how much ) , possibly connected to people returning from holiday and the start of the new school term .
The Department of Health and Social Care has indicated lab capacity is the reason people have been unable to book tests in recent days .
There have been claims that the government underestimated the rise in cases .
But Health Secretary Matt Hancock has also claimed that too many people without symptoms have been trying to get tested .
If you do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you should not apply for a test - unless you are living in a local lockdown area .
How many tests are being carried out ?
About 220,000 individual tests are being processed each day .
The UK government wants laboratory daily testing capacity to rise from 245,000 to 500,000 a day by 31 October .
It has pledged to bring in mass coronavirus testing by the end of the year , even among people with no symptoms .
The prime minister has spoken of his desire for 10 million Covid-19 tests a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have expressed doubt that this is possible .
People should only order an NHS test if they are showing coronavirus symptoms , work in certain high risk settings ( such as care homes ) , or have been asked to by the authorities .
Private tests can be obtained from clinics and health centres , with some offering a result within three days .
Prices vary but are often around £100-£200 for a swab test - which shows if you are currently infected - and £50-£100 for an antibody test , which can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests do not work for everyone - and even some people who have had coronavirus do not have antibodies .
Tests must have a `` CE mark '' to show they meet all legal criteria .
If you test positive , the test supplier must let your local health authority know so it can trace outbreaks of the disease and learn more about its prevalence in the UK .
What kind of tests are available ?
There are two types of tests .
The first checks if you are currently infected .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then sent off to be processed at a lab .
New versions promising to deliver results in 90 minutes are being introduced in hospitals and care homes , where they can be processed using portable machines .
Tests on saliva are also being trialled , .
The second test involves blood samples and looks for antibodies which indicate past , rather than current , infection .
At the moment , these are mainly being used by scientists to estimate what percentage of the population has had Covid , rather than to diagnose individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagnostic test , scientists at the University of Bristol believe 20 % of positive cases could falsely appear as negative - wrongly telling someone they are not infected .
This can be because the swab sample was n't good enough , there were problems in the lab , or because of the stage of infection the patient was at when tested .
How does the UK compare to other countries ?
Each country records testing slightly differently , so like-for-like comparisons wo n't be 100 % accurate .
However , analysis from Our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ based at the University of Oxford , suggests the UK is now performing more tests than many other countries .
For example , the seven-day average up until 10 September showed the UK had carried out 2.8 tests per 1,000 people .
This was ahead of European countries including France ( 2.1 ) and Spain and Germany ( both 1.8 ) .
What do I need to know about the coronavirus ?
• SOCIAL DISTANCING : What are the rules now ?
• SUPPORT BUBBLES : What are they and who can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When do I need to wear one ?
• SCHOOLS : What will happen if children catch coronavirus ?
• LOOK-UP TOOL : How many cases in your area ?

The government says it will be able to expand the testing system again in the future if necessary, such as if a new variant of concern emerges.

Sean Heavey recognised his photo the moment he saw it on Stranger Things .
“ God , that storm looks familiar , ” he said , as he and his son watched the hit Netflix show .
When he watched a documentary about the making of the series , he became certain .
“ They saved it off of Google , added a foreground to it and used it as a piece of concept art , ” Mr Heavey says .
No-one else had photographed this supercell thunderstorm ; no other cars drove down the road that day , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He called the four panoramic shots he had stitched together The Mothership .
“ I should have got credit and paid for it , ” says Mr Heavey .
He tried to contact Netflix , but the company told him , “ You ca n't copyright Mother Nature.
” His case stalled .
Chasing storms is no hobby for Mr Heavey .
Getting that perfect shot costs him thousands of dollars in petrol every year .
He braves “ golf ball-sized hail ” , winds raging over 100mph and rescues stranded people .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ remarks were read by executives at Pixsy , a firm that helps photographers fight copyright infringement .
They contacted Mr Heavey and , eager for the help , he agreed to work with them .
Pixsy appointed Mr Heavey a lawyer , David Deal , and together they found six more occasions where Netflix used The Mothership .
Netflix settled the lawsuit in December 2018 , according to records seen by the BBC .
The company did not respond to a request for comment .
In the UK , if convicted in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could face six months in jail or a fine of up to £50,000 .
Conviction in a Crown Court could carry a penalty of 10 years in jail and/or an unlimited fine .
In the United States , fines can reach $ 150,000 ( £115,000 ) every time a picture is used the wrong way .
When a case is successful , firms like Pixsy collect 50 % of the settlement or award at court .
“ They all settle , ” says Mr Deal , of copyright cases .
He says this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
• When changing a light bulb is a really big deal • Why are there so few black tech entrepreneurs ?
Pixsy is one of a handful of companies that has developed image look-up technology to monitor and pursue copyright infringement on behalf of photographers .
Its service incorporates artificial intelligence that has been trained to match an artist 's work with instances on the web .
It can also identify alterations including crops , re-colouring and layers added or removed .
The moment a picture is taken , as long as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is protected by intellectual property laws .
More than 2.5 billion images are stolen daily , according to a 2019 study by Copytrack , a copyright search and enforcement firm .
Many of these are found using a technology called reverse image look-up .
This works like Bing or Google , but rather than using words to find related information , the search matches pictures .
Some of the free image search engines , like TinEye and Google , will also verify when and where a picture was taken and if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use this same technology but will also hire a lawyer and cover the costs of filing a lawsuit .
Pixsy is close to filing its 100,000th case of copyright infringement in five years .
It currently monitors close to 100 million images .
“ Keeping on top of all of this is impossible for any individual .
For us , we see this as a very big problem for photo owners and photo creators , ” says Kain Jones , the chief executive of Pixsy .
He argues that licence fees are “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ That 's where we come in , where we 're happy to be the bad guy , ” Mr Jones says .
However , Chip Stewart , a media law professor at Texas Christian University in the US , says that because so many of these cases settle out of court , the system is ripe for abuse .
Recently , a student of his used an image from a Creative Commons website for the school newspaper .
Though she did not have to pay a licence fee , she did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ photo , to credit the photographer or add a link to his website .
Through Pixsy , the photographer found the student and issued her a letter asking for a $ 750 licence fee .
“ The 20-year-old student was pretty terrified getting a demand letter and she said , ' I thought we did everything right . '
And I said , ' I can tell you right now that you did n't , but it 's an easy mistake to make . '
'' A search through public records revealed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ similar cases that year .
They negotiated him down and agreed to pay a fee of $ 500 .
Fighting over such a small fee in court would cost a fortune .
“ It is not worth two years and tens of thousands of dollars of litigation on the off-chance we might win .
And if you lose , you might pay the lawyer fees .
That 's what these copyright troll firms realise - is that the system is so heavily weighted in favour of copyright owners , ” says Mr Stewart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One of our key criteria [ for Pixsy to work on the case ] is that it is a commercial usage of the photo .
In your example of the private university , they are a revenue-generating organisation and are not exempt from copyright law .
A case would be with the university itself and not an individual student . ''
Some actors have given those who pursue copyright claims a bad reputation .
One particularly prolific lawyer , Richard Liebowitz , has been dubbed a `` copyright troll '' , having filed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of New York since 2017 .
As well as the sheer number of cases he 's filed , his behaviour has not endeared him to the courts and a judge recently fined him $ 103,500 for misconduct , which included `` repeated violations of court orders and outright dishonesty , sometimes under oath '' .
Joe Naylor is the chief executive of ImageRights International , another company like Pixsy that uses technology to help photographers pursue copyright infringement .
He says lawyers like Liebowitz are bad for the industry .
“ It does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are trying to protect their rights , ” says Mr Naylor .
Pursuing licence fees must always be the photographer ’ s choice .
However , Mr Naylor says his company does not recommend photographers go after non-profit blogs or student newspapers .
While he understands this happens , he says ImageRights International is more interested in defending professional photographers like Sean Heavey .
“ There 's literally no word that can be spoken to me that makes me more angry than photographers being called trolls for trying to pursue their own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of The Mothership used without permission .
If people credit the picture he “ lets it slide ” , especially if there is no profit involved .
Recently he found a lady who was selling prints of the photo claiming it was her picture .
Another Instagram influencer often claims The Mothership is his .
He says : “ Being able to stand up and know your rights - it 's good , because it keeps food on the table for my family .
”

In response Pixsy said: "One of our key criteria [for Pixsy to work on the case] is that it is a commercial usage of the photo. In your example of the private university, they are a revenue-generating organisation and are not exempt from copyright law. A case would be with the university itself and not an individual student."

Where have they come from ?
Last week , several tropical fish were found in the River Ness at Inverness .
The warm water fish , which did not survive long in the cold river , may have had diseases harmful to native species .
The crayfish have been described as an `` aggressive '' predator that kills native freshwater animals and burrows into riverbanks , causing erosion .
They feed on fish eggs , as well as young salmon , trout and plants .
The threat they pose to wildlife is considered so serious that it is illegal to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The advice is to kill them instead .
They have spread into the wild and in some places have taken over .
In these areas native species have become scarce or died out .
What are the next threats ?
They include 3cm ( 1in ) long freshwater killer shrimp , which were first recorded in the UK in 2010 but have not yet been seen in Scotland .
The shrimp can outcompete rivals for food .
There are also fears about the introduction of muntjac , a deer that originates from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the most destructive non-native animals in Britain '' .
In Scotland , it is illegal to the keep the deer without a licence and it is an offence to release them into the wild .

`` We will be considering some of the measures which have already been imposed in other parts of the UK , '' he said .
`` I am of the firm view that we should not wait , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus to again spiral out of control before taking action . ''
The government 's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ( Sage ) said the R number - representing the number of people an infected person will pass the virus on to - had risen to between 1.1 and 1.4 .
Although deaths remain at a very low level , Sage said the rise in the R number `` shows that we are moving to wider spread growth in transmission at a faster rate '' .
The sharp rise in UK cases over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems with the government 's test and trace programme , leading to people struggling to access tests .
Former government adviser Prof Neil Ferguson , whose advice was crucial to the decision to go into lockdown in March , said a two-week mini lockdown could help to `` reset '' the virus .
`` We have a perfect storm right now , of people - as they 've been told to - getting back to normal , schools reopening , a surge in cases and therefore the testing system is under strain , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Unfortunately we do have to roll the relaxation of measures back a little bit and get contacts down in the population . ''
Asked if this should mean more restrictions on going abroad , he said the bigger risk was normal everyday interactions , which needed to be `` dialled back a little '' .
'UK 's trajectory is not written in stone' The question is no longer where we are , but where we are heading .
Yes , the number of people infected , in hospital with Covid or dying from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ levels than at the peak .
Scientists will quibble about the exact definition of a `` second wave '' , but all data points to rising numbers of infections .
The government 's science advisers say the number is now doubling every week .
If those trends continue then infections could go from the estimated 6,000-a-day to more than 100,000 by mid-October .
It is that trajectory , which is not written in stone , the government is trying to change .
There are questions for politicians , from whether it should do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Trace .
But , with evidence suggesting only one in five people are following the self-isolation rules when they get sick , there are also questions for all of us .
New restrictions for large parts of England 's North West , West Yorkshire and the Midlands come into force on Tuesday .
The latest areas to see extra measures put in place include Lancashire ( excluding Blackpool ) , Merseyside and the Cheshire boroughs of Warrington and Halton .
Additional restrictions are also being put in place in Wolverhampton , Oadby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parts of Bradford , Kirklees and Calderdale .
In total , nearly 4.7 million people will be affected by the new restrictions , which ban separate households from meeting each other at home or in private gardens .

Dominic Raab 's bodyguard has been `` removed from operational duties '' after allegedly leaving his gun on a plane at Heathrow .
A cleaner is reported to have found the loaded Glock 19 pistol in its holster on a seat on the United Airlines flight after it landed in London on Friday .

The Sun reported that the officer took off his holster and put it on his seat before escorting the foreign secretary off the flight - leaving it behind .
Former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BBC there were strict rules about the handling of firearms , but that human error does happen .

`` This appears to be an unfortunate lapse in concentration for which the officer will pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as much as they have been removed from operational duties , which is something they probably love doing , and sadly for them , will no longer be able to do . ''

A returning holidaymaker who went on a pub crawl instead of self-isolating was partly responsible for Bolton 's `` extreme spike '' in coronavirus cases , the town 's council leader said .
David Greenhalgh said the man tested positive for Covid-19 two days after the night out with friends in the town .
He said Bolton 's high rate had been linked back to pubs and a `` cohort of people '' who refused to follow guidance .
It is currently subject to tighter restrictions to halt the rise .
Mr Greenhalgh told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as we were arguing to have a further easing of restrictions at the time '' .
He said : `` We had an extreme spike where we went from 12 cases per 100,000 and in less than three weeks we were up at 212 cases . ''
`` We had somebody who did not adhere to quarantine , did not stay the 14 days , literally went on a pub crawl with a number of mates , '' Mr Greenhalgh said .
`` From that incident which took place over a weekend - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ premises - led to a large number of individual transmissions from that one person which you can imagine then is like holding back the tide because he then became symptomatic two days after they had all gone on this pub crawl .
`` That is four or five days where all the people he was in contact with have been going about their normal day-to-day business . ''

bbcuk--2020-09-19--Edition of Shakespeare's last play found in Scots college in Spain

A rare edition of Shakespeare 's last play has been found in a Scottish Catholic college in Spain .
The Two Noble Kinsmen , written by Shakespeare with John Fletcher , was found by a researcher investigating the work of the Scots economist Adam Smith .
The 1634 volume could be the oldest Shakespearean work in the country .
In the 17th Century the seminary in Madrid was an important source of English literature for Spanish intellectuals .
The Two Noble Kinsmen was included in a volume made up of several English plays printed from 1630 to 1635 .
Dr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barcelona , said he found it among old books in the library of the Real Colegio de Escoceses - Royal Scots College ( RSC ) -which is now in Salamanca .
What is The Two Noble Kinsmen about ?
`` Friendship turns to rivalry in this study of the intoxication and strangeness of love , '' is how the Royal Shakespeare Company described the play , which is based on Chaucer 's The Knight 's Tale .
It was probably written around 1613-14 by Shakespeare and John Fletcher , one of the house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the King 's Men .
It was likely to have been Shakespeare 's last play before he retired to Stratford-on-Avon .
He died there in 1616 at the age of 52 .
Described as a `` tragicomedy '' the play features best friends , who are knights captured in a battle .
From the window of their prison they see a beautiful woman with whom they each fall in love .
Within a moment they have turned from intimate friends to jealous rivals in a strange love story which features absurd adventures and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Edinburgh and Aberdeen , said : `` It is likely these plays arrived as part of some student 's personal library or at the request of the rector of the Royal Scots College , Hugh Semple , who was friends with the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega and had more plays in his personal library .
`` It is likely these plays were acquired around 1635 by an English or Scottish traveller who might have wanted to take these plays - all London editions - with him to Madrid .
`` By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Spain with elite culture .
`` This small community of Scots was briefly the most significant intellectual bridge between the Spanish and English-speaking worlds . ''
In the 17th and 18th Centuries collections of books in English were rare in Spain because of ecclesiastical censorship , but the Scots college had special authorisation to import whatever they wanted .
Plays in English were exceptionally rare in the period - and it had previously been thought the oldest work by Shakespeare in Spain was a volume found in the Royal English College of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought to have arrived in Spain in the decade after the volume found in the Scots college .
The rector of the Scots College , Father Tom Kilbride , said the college was proud such an important work had been discovered in its library .
He said : `` It says a lot about the kind of education the trainee priests were getting from the foundation of the college in Madrid in 1627 , a rounded education in which the culture of the period played an important part .
`` To think that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possibly performed at that time is quite exciting .
`` There was clearly a great interest in Spain at that time in English literature . ''
The RSC no longer trains men for the priesthood in Scotland , but offers preparatory six-month courses for those expressing a vocation , and holds regular retreats and conferences for the Scottish Catholic community .
In Act 5 scene 1 Arcite , one of the knights , talks about `` dusty and old titles '' , which sums up the find in Salamanca .

Dr Stone, who has worked in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, said: "It is likely these plays arrived as part of some student's personal library or at the request of the rector of the Royal Scots College, Hugh Semple, who was friends with the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega and had more plays in his personal library.

The first ministers of the devolved nations have called for `` urgent '' UK government intervention to help the struggling aerospace sector .

And they stressed the need to act quickly , warning : `` Urgent intervention is now required to preserve capability and avert further damaging losses . ''
The proposed taskforce would include `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland , as well as unions and companies working in the sector .

bbcuk--2020-09-19--Labour urges pay rises for care workers for 'Covid sacrifices'

Labour is calling for guaranteed pay rises for care workers in England as the party prepares for what has been billed as a `` virtual '' party conference .
Its deputy leader Angela Rayner will say low pay in the industry is a `` moral outrage '' given the sacrifices of staff during the coronavirus pandemic .
Minimum pay rates of £9.30 an hour , and £10.75 in London , are needed to `` pay the rent or put the food on the table '' .
Ministers say 600,000 staff are gaining from a rise in the National Live Wage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see their take home pay increase by £930 a year following April 's 6 % rise in the National Living Wage from £8.21 to £8.72 an hour .
The government has set a target of increasing it to more than £10.50 by 2024 , which would represent 65 % of median UK earnings .
• Labour aims to build trust with new slogan But Ms Rayner will insist that the 1.2 million care workers in England deserve a `` real living wage '' now if they are to pay their bills and support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cancel its traditional party conference , which was due to be held in Liverpool , due to the virus , as have the other political parties .
Instead , the party is holding a series of virtual events under the Labour Connected banner , starting with a Women 's Connected event for female members on Saturday .
The party 's leader Sir Keir Starmer is due to make a keynote speech - his first since being elected in April - on Tuesday in which he is expected to set out his vision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who was also elected in April , will use a series of media appearances on Saturday to attack the government 's `` failure '' to adequately protect care homes and their staff during the pandemic .
She will claim the government 's `` incompetence '' has contributed to the deaths of 15,000 care home residents and she will say that staff that have put their lives on the line deserve a better pay deal as quickly as possible .
Ms Rayner , who represented care workers as a Unison official before entering Parliament @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hourly wage in the independent care sector before the pandemic was £8.10 an hour .
She will back the Living Wage Foundation 's call for hourly pay rates of £9.30 an hour , and £10.75 in London , for the care sector , which the organisation says is needed for workers to get by and cope with the cost of living .
`` The prime minister and government ministers have fallen over themselves to clap for our carers and offer them warm words , but applause and empty gestures do n't pay the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ table , '' she will say .
`` We ca n't clap our key workers and then abandon them .
We ca n't go back to business as usual , where the very same people who have helped to get our country through this crisis are still underpaid and undervalued .
`` After all their sacrifice and bravery , the very least that our care workers deserve is a pay rise . ''
The Conservatives said while ministers were not responsible for directly setting pay for care workers , changes to the National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have seen their income go up by £3,600 since 2016 .
`` Tax cuts and increases to National Living Wage brought in by the Conservatives have benefitted millions of the lowest paid , including those who provide vital care , '' said the party 's chairwoman Amanda Milling .

The government is considering calls from the sector for a huge injection of funding as part of its current spending review , amid claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to meet current pressures by 2025 .
Boris Johnson promised to find a lasting solution to the crisis in social care when he took office in July 2019 but a blueprint for future reforms is not now expected until next year .

bbcuk--2020-09-18--Covid: How should I talk to neighbours who break the rules?

Your neighbours are having parties and their mates are over all the time .
Boris Johnson has urged neighbours to speak to each other about breaking the rules on social gatherings before involving the police .
But what exactly do you say when you knock on that door ?
While it can be daunting , psychotherapist and mediator Dr Mike Talbot recommends talking in person to try to resolve the situation amicably , rather than putting hostile notes through letterboxes .
`` People tend to shy away from these conversations and leave it too long so they 've become furious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he says .
Conflict resolution expert Louisa Weinstein agrees it 's important to rein in your emotions .
• What are the rules on socialising ?
`` Try not to take in old resentments - leave them at the door , '' she says .
`` If you feel angry it 's really important to take a moment to just take a breath and try and have some empathy for the other person .
Then there is less danger of things escalating and making the relationship with your neighbour worse . ''
She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand why they might be breaking the rules .
For some the guidance is n't clear , she says , but there could be other reasons to consider .
`` [ Some people ] do n't see it as a risk , others see the risk to their mental health as more important , others feel they may not be with their families for many more years if they 've got elderly relatives and they want to make the most of things while they can .
`` It 's really important that even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to just think about where they might be coming from . ''
It 's a good idea to agree a convenient time to have a chat , which probably means after the gathering has finished , Dr Talbot adds .
He recommends using a conversational tone , perhaps asking people if they were aware of the rules , and listening to their perspective first .
`` You can wade in and start telling people off and being bossy but you 're likely to get a short answer and it does tend to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' he says .
It 's important to remember the basics , Dr Talbot says , like not raising your voice or getting too close and avoid using words like `` should '' or `` ought '' as this can create the dynamic of a parent telling a child off .
It 's also best to tackle the situation alone if possible to avoid appearing threatening , he says , and definitely do n't gang up against one person with a group of other neighbours .
• SOCIAL DISTANCING : What are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : What are they and who can be in yours ?
• SYMPTOMS : What are they and how to guard against them ?
• LOOK-UP TOOL : How many cases in your area ?
When it comes to putting your perspective across , Mrs Weinstein says it 's about explaining the impact their actions are having on you .
`` For example , you could say ' I 've noticed that you are having more than six people round to your house .
When you do that I feel very nervous and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ putting people at risk ' , '' she says .
`` You ca n't make anyone do anything but if you are human about it you can probably make them see your perspective and give them the opportunity to change their behaviour . ''
However , if the person does react in an aggressive way , Dr Talbot says , you can try depersonalising the conflict .
`` Say it 's not about you , it 's about the situation we 're all trying to manage here , '' he says .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you feel unsafe it 's always best to walk away , Mrs Weinstein advises .
Dr Talbot says similar advice can be applied if talking to strangers who are meeting in large groups in public .
But ultimately the conversation will be easier if you already have a relationship with the person , he says .
So try to pre-empt any issues by doing your best to get to know your neighbours .
`` Some people have never spoken to their neighbours before a conflict blows up , '' he says .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conversation before you have a conflict because then if you do have a disagreement at least you 've got a bedrock to build on .
`` Do n't let your first conversation with your neighbour be when you 're having a conflict with them . ''

"Try not to take in old resentments - leave them at the door," she says. "If you feel angry it's really important to take a moment to just take a breath and try and have some empathy for the other person. Then there is less danger of things escalating and making the relationship with your neighbour worse."

A teacher who spent six weeks in hospital with coronavirus has written a 3,000-word account of her experience on the advice of medics who treated her .
She left hospital in May after spending time in intensive care and said writing down what happened had helped her cope .
Days later , she fell on to her face on her doorstep and was taken to Watford General Hospital after a neighbour dialled 999 .
At one stage a do-not-resuscitate order was placed on her when she was moved into intensive care .
She emerged from sedation three weeks later , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Addenbrooke 's Hospital .
Now on a phased return to work at a special school , she still has muscle pains , two numb fingers and has had some hair loss .
Ms Thorp , who lives alone , praised NHS staff who `` saved '' her life but agreed to share her experience as she thought it would be `` useful '' .
`` There were details that were quite important for them to know , such as nurses saying 'do n't worry , she is hard of hearing , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I could hear them , and not changing the date on the wall in the ward which made me confused , '' she said .
`` What was interesting is that until I 'd written it down , I had n't found a way of saying it to anyone else . ''
It also highlighted a period of time when she was conscious but can not remember anything that happened , even though she made phone calls and sent photos to her family .
`` I can cope with not remembering the three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unit ) because I was asleep , but when there 's evidence you were awake but you do n't remember it , that 's hard , '' she said .
`` This is the bit I find difficult , that 's harder than anything , so I now realise how important memories are . ''
On her battle with coronavirus , she said : `` It 's quite horrendous and people need to know that .
It gets the message out there how serious it can be . ''
Addenbrooke 's Hospital said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and others like it , as we continue to review and improve the care we provide '' .
`` This can help them to come to terms with their illness , and ultimately assist with their recovery , '' she said .
But he said it could have negative impacts if people did not use it to develop `` new insights or strategies for dealing with emotions '' .

"There were details that were quite important for them to know, such as nurses saying 'don't worry, she is hard of hearing, she can't hear you', when I could hear them, and not changing the date on the wall in the ward which made me confused," she said.


bbcuk--2020-09-19--Covid rules: Which areas are under new coronavirus restrictions?

Coronavirus restrictions are to be tightened in parts of north-west England , West Yorkshire and the Midlands .
They are the latest areas to see extra measures put in place as cases increase .
How many people are under extra restrictions ?
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said a second national lockdown would be likely to have `` disastrous '' financial consequences for the UK .
In total , at least 13.5 million people now face local restrictions in the UK , roughly one in five people .
• 10.9 million people in England , or 19 % of its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Northern Ireland ( 22 % ) About 55 % of the North of England is facing restrictions , along with 22 % of the Midlands .
The nature and extent of restrictions vary around the UK .
Some of the rules and places include : • From 22 September , people in Merseyside , Warrington , Halton and the parts of Lancashire not already under tightened restrictions ( excluding Blackpool - as coronavirus rates there are lower than in the rest of the county ) must not mix with people outside their household @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restaurants must shut at 22:00 BST • On the same date , residents In Bradford , Kirklees , Calderdale , Wolverhampton , Oadby and Wigston will be banned from socialising with other people outside of their own households or support bubble in private homes and gardens • Pub curfews and restrictions on people mixing have been introduced in Northumberland , Newcastle , Sunderland , North and South Tyneside , Gateshead and County Durham • Households in Birmingham , Solihull and Sandwell are not allowed to mix • Those in parts of Greater Manchester @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City of Manchester , can not mix with those from outside their household or support bubble • Also in Greater Manchester , in Bolton , there are visitor limits on care homes , while hospitality venues will only be able to serve takeaways and must close between 22:00 and 05:00 • People in Oldham , Blackburn with Darwen and Pendle should not meet anyone from outside their household outdoors • In Leicester , people can not host anyone they do not live with in their home or garden , unless they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Glasgow city , East Renfrewshire , Renfrewshire , East Dunbartonshire , West Dunbartonshire , North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire are banned from meeting people from another household inside their home • People in Rhondda Cynon Taf should not enter or leave the area without a reasonable excuse like going to work or school ; pubs and restaurants must close by 23:00 and people should not meet other households indoors • People in Caerphilly county are not allowed to enter or leave the area `` without a reasonable excuse '' and should not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • People in Ballymena town , the Belfast council area and certain Northern Irish postcodes are not allowed to go to each other 's homes Further details on the measures in place and specific areas affected have been published by the governments for England , Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland .
When are new restrictions introduced in an area ?
There is no set level of infection that triggers this in a particular place , but if it posts more than 40 coronavirus cases per 100,000 people , it is likely that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the week of 5-11 September showed rates had gone up to 145.5 per 100,000 people in Oadby & Wigston , 111.2 in Warrington , 100.6 in Liverpool , and 61.8 in Wolverhampton .
The number of infections is not the only factor considered .
For example , cases in Northampton jumped to 125 per 100,000 in August .
But as the rise was almost entirely down to workers at a local factory no restrictions were introduced .
Local decision-makers have a framework they can use to decide whether their area should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public.. How long do local or regional restrictions last ?
The situations are regularly reviewed and when the number of infections falls , restrictions start to be eased again .
For instance , restrictions in Aberdeen were introduced in August but later lifted .
How are these rules enforced ?
Local authorities in England have powers to : • Close specific premises ( such as shops , cafes and gyms ) • Shut outdoor spaces ( such as parks , playgrounds and beaches ) • Cancel events ( such as concerts , weddings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or types of premises in local areas • Restrict the use of transport • What happens if I 'm in an area on the watchlist ?
• Caerphilly county to go under local lockdown Police have powers to make sure people stick to the restrictions .
For example , if they believe that somebody is staying away overnight , they can tell them to return home .
They can also fine people for breaking the rules , and may issue a `` prohibition notice '' directing somebody not to do something .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants to go to a bar in another part of the city , for example , there is nothing legally to stop them .
Instead , the government hopes people 's sense of civic responsibility will see them follow guidance to stay at home .
• SOCIAL DISTANCING : What are the rules now ?
• SUPPORT BUBBLES : What are they and who can be in yours ?

bbcuk--2020-09-19--Covid: £10,000 fines for self-isolation breaches

People in England who refuse an order to self-isolate could be fined up to £10,000 , the government has said .
The new legal duty requires people to self-isolate if they test positive for coronavirus , or are traced as a close contact , from 28 September .
New measures also include a one-off £500 support payment for those on lower incomes , and a penalty for employers who punish those told to self-isolate .
A further 4,422 new Covid-19 cases and 27 deaths were reported on Saturday .
There were 350 new cases reported in Scotland , the highest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases in Wales , and 222 in Northern Ireland .
• New virus rules 'inevitable ' : The view near No 10 • Can a 'circuit break ' halt the second Covid wave ?
• My neighbours are breaking the rules - what should I say ?
Fines will initially start at £1,000 rising to £10,000 for repeat offenders , and for `` the most egregious breaches '' .
Up until now , advice to self-isolate has been guidance only .
Announcing the new rules for England , Prime Minister Boris Johnson said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was for everyone to follow the rules .
`` So nobody underestimates just how important this is , new regulations will mean you are legally obliged to do so if you have the virus or have been asked to do so by NHS Test and Trace .
People who choose to ignore the rules will face significant fines .
`` We need to do all we can to control the spread of this virus , to prevent the most vulnerable people from becoming infected , and to protect the NHS and save lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What are the new rules ?
• People in England who are told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace face fines of £1,000 - up to £10,000 for the worst offenders - if they fail to do so • This includes those who test positive and those identified as close contacts of confirmed cases • It also includes employers who force staff to ignore an order to self-isolate • NHS Test and Trace will make regular contact with those isolating to check compliance • The measures apply from 28 September and will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Those in receipt of benefits or on low income and who can not work from home may receive a £500 one-off payment if self-isolating Those attracting the highest penalties are described as including those who stop other people from self-isolating , such as an employer who insists a staff member comes to work in violation of an order .
The penalties are in line with those for people who fail to quarantine for 14 days after returning to the UK from a country not on the list of low risk nations .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ who did not self-isolate and instead went on a pub crawl , is being partly blamed for the town 's spike in cases .
The prime minister is concerned that existing regulations are too often being flouted - and he has been frustrated that they are not always effectively enforced .
The government 's scientific advisers have suggested as many as four out of five people who should be self-isolating bend or break the rules .
So , from 28 September in England , fines can be levied .
But this iron fist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Following pilot schemes in some parts of Lancashire , a £500 lump sum will be available to people on benefits who have to self-isolate - or who are on low incomes and who can not work from home .
Regional political leaders , such as Greater Manchester 's Mayor Andy Burnham , have been pressing for this .
But compliance is n't the only problem .
Delays in delivering test results can affect how quickly the contacts of infected people isolate , even if they want to , or are paid to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopes the new measures will be replicated in Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland - which all have powers to set their own coronavirus rules .
Officials said NHS Test and Trace would be in regular contact with individuals told to self-isolate and would report any suspicions that people were not complying to the police and local authorities .
Police will also check compliance in Covid-19 hotspots and among groups considered to be `` high-risk '' as well as following up reports from members of the public of people who have tested positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow in `` high-profile and egregious '' cases of non-compliance .
• SOCIAL DISTANCING : What are the rules now ?
• SUPPORT BUBBLES : What are they and who can be in yours ?
• FACE MASKS : When do I need to wear one ?
• SCHOOLS : What will happen if children catch coronavirus ?
As with other coronavirus rules , there will be specific exemptions for those who need to escape from illness or harm during their isolation , and for those who require care .
Changes to support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a low income will initially affect up to four million people who can not work from home in England , the government said .
The one-off payment of £500 is above both statutory sick pay of £95.85 per week and a previously-announced additional award of £182 for those told to self-isolate in highest risk areas of intervention .

Mr Cameron , who has also worked for the Foreign Office and European Commission , Htold Politico that the allegations `` are without foundation '' , saying he has `` a wide range of Chinese contacts as part of my duties with the EU-Asia Centre and some of them may have a double function '' .
A senior Whitehall official , who asked not to be named , told the BBC the investigation had been a long-running joint inquiry between British and Belgian intelligence and claimed that a breakthrough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said this was a great example of how closely British intelligence worked with its European partners .

bbcuk--2020-09-19--British Airways accused of snubbing refund request

A British Airways passenger was refused a refund for a cancelled flight even after she sent screenshots of the airline 's website showing the option of a voucher was not mentioned .
Lesley Anderson says a voucher was issued `` automatically '' after she selected `` Cancel and refund flight '' .
She is the latest person to accuse the airline of misleading its customers .
British Airways has said there is `` no way '' that vouchers can be issued without customers requesting them .
Ms Anderson , from Irvine in Ayrshire , had been due to fly from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic meant her flights were cancelled .
An email from BA included a link that took her to the `` Manage my booking '' section of its website , where she was presented with two main options : to rebook the cancelled flights `` free of charge '' or to get a `` full refund '' by cancelling the entire booking .
`` I obviously chose the 'Cancel and refund flights ' option , '' she says , `` which then took me to the British @ @ @ @ @ @ @ completing your travel voucher application . '
I was a bit gobsmacked . ''
`` I definitely did not fill in any information about my name , my flights .
I did not click submit , nothing like that at all .
It just took me straight to that page and it issued me automatically with a voucher . ''
Even though Ms Anderson sent screenshots of the webpage showing that vouchers were not listed as an option and said she always wanted her money back , BA staff told her she had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exchanged for cash .
Under EU law , when a flight is cancelled , passengers are entitled to their money back within seven days , although airlines can offer to rebook flights or issue vouchers for future travel , if that is what a customer prefers .
In Lesley 's case , BA says that she filled in an application form and it is not possible for its online system to issue vouchers without that happening .
But numerous passengers have contacted Radio 4 's consumer programme , You & Yours , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not want .
The airline has said it will `` always provide a refund if a customer is eligible '' .
`` Since March , we have provided more than 2.1 million customers with cash refunds and more than 1.6 million with vouchers , '' BA said in a statement .
`` Customers can request vouchers via our call centre , or by filling in details on an online vouchers form , and in each case , they are asked to confirm this before it is submitted . ''

"I definitely did not fill in any information about my name, my flights. I did not click submit, nothing like that at all. It just took me straight to that page and it issued me automatically with a voucher."

A Scottish medieval coin turned into jewellery has been declared treasure after being `` lost '' and found hundreds of miles away in England .
The silver coin featuring the head of Alexander III of Scotland dates from 1280-6 and was discovered in Long Stratton , Norfolk in August 2019 .
The penny was worn as either a pendant or brooch by someone who was religious , coin expert Dr Adrian Marsden said .
He added that the coin `` had travelled some way '' .
Dr Marsden , a numismatist at Norfolk Historic Environment Service , said it `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the county until it was rediscovered last year by a metal detectorist in a field , whose location is not being disclosed .
The historian said the item would have been worn as a religious symbol as the side with the cross was the one intended for display , rather than the head side of the coin .
`` There is also settings for gems [ which were no longer present ] which represent the five wounds of Christ , so it is symbolic and adds to the religious dimension , '' he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` would have been relatively well-off '' as the penny was the equivalent of half a day 's wage at the time .
`` It would have been a bit of a luxury and the owner would have some social status , '' he said .

It was declared treasure at an inquest at Norfolk Coroner 's Court earlier this month .

The historian said the item would have been worn as a religious symbol as the side with the cross was the one intended for display, rather than the head side of the coin.

A new taskforce will meet next week to kick-start the recovery of cancer services across the NHS in England .
Charities believe the pandemic has led to a significant reduction in people being referred for urgent cancer treatment .
Cancer Research UK says three million people have missed cancer screenings since March .
The taskforce aims to investigate how to ensure more people are referred , tested and checked .
At Liverpool 's new Clatterbridge cancer centre , which opened in June , treatment is up and running .
The coronavirus meant face-to-face contacts with patients like Ian Crompton were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treated for prostate cancer , which meant he had to self-isolate throughout lockdown .
Now he needs a scan to make sure all is well .
So his first appointment actually meeting staff has come as something of a relief .
`` With being in isolation , in lockdown , you felt alone , '' Ian says .
`` I find consultations face to face a lot better because you can ask questions .
`` On the phone , there 's no eye contact , which I find unusual . ''
Services are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speed , but there is a significant backlog of patients who need treatment .
It 's also estimated that around 350,000 fewer patients than normal have been referred for an urgent cancer investigation . '

Initially she was told it might be an abscess or a cyst and was prescribed antibiotics .

`` I 'm a young girl , 28 .
I 'm not a hypochondriac , I do n't just phone up about nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know they do n't know that , necessarily , but I think I should have been seen and I think I should have been examined . ''
Infection control and social distancing mean it now takes longer to treat people safely , and there are concerns about how much capacity there is to reduce the backlog of patients .
NHS England says that between March and July of this year , more than 207,000 people started cancer treatment .
That 's around 85 % of the number the NHS in England treated in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a taskforce , involving all the main cancer charities and organisations such as the Royal College of GPs , will start work next week .

`` We 're very keen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if anybody 's worried about symptoms , they should come forward now .
`` We are working to try and match the capacity that we have got , whether it 's across the NHS or in the independent sector , to the demand that we can see coming through , '' Prof Johnson said .
`` And we 're expecting during September and October that we 're probably going to see more than the usual number of people as we catch up . ''
