Tougher rules for England will "strike a balance" when the national lockdown ends next week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.
At a Downing Street briefing, the prime minister acknowledged that the stricter three-tiered system of regional measures to tackle coronavirus would bring "heartbreak and frustration".
Most of England will be in the toughest two levels of measures from 2 December and the system will be reviewed every two weeks, with the first review scheduled for 16 December - so an area's tier level may change before Christmas.
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports and Kirsty Wark is joined by former health secretary Andrew Lansley, Labour shadow minister Cat Smith and former chair of Pizza Express Luke Johnson
