In his short time in one of the highest offices in the land, Rishi Sunak has already seen more turmoil, and taken more dramatic actions, than some chancellors ever do.

The occupant of Number 11 taking to the political lectern during an economic crisis is normally a massive moment too. Not so much today.

Perhaps, after an alphabet soup of announcements over the recent months, there was not at this stage very much else to say.

He listed 19 different steps the Treasury has taken to try to soothe the economic trauma of the lockdown and ongoing limits on the country doing business.

It is true that with his signature very publicly all over it, the government has spent an absolutely mind-boggling amount of money trying to prop up the economy through the crisis.

But it's also true that that support is moving to a much less comprehensive phase and that unemployment is likely to rise, perhaps dramatically. Mr Sunak may promise to do everything he can to help, but the actions the government is taking are a series of political choices.

Our graph, below, shows some more detail about the thousands of coronavirus cases which previously went unreported.

Public Health England has said 15,841 cases between 25 September and 2 October were left out of the UK daily case figures.

In the Israeli city of Ashdod, thousands of Hasidic Jews have been taking part in a funeral procession for a prominent rabbi who died of coronavirus.

Police gave permission for the event but there are concerns social distancing rules were broken.

Israel remains under a full lockdown. It has seen signs in recent days that its rate of Covid-19 infection - which is among the highest in the world - is falling.

However, there is concern that the number of new cases among ultra-Orthodox Jews is still high - accounting for 40% of the total, although the community amounts to just 12% of the population.

On Sunday night, Israeli police said they made more than 30 arrests during clashes in ultra-Orthodox neighbourhoods of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as officers tried to break up prayer services that violated coronavirus-related restrictions.

On Saturday, tens of thousands of Israelis across the country - many banging pots and pans - protested against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the crisis, despite a controversial new ban restricting people from demonstrating more than 1km (0.6 miles) from their homes.

Additional contract tracers have been brought in to help track down the contacts of people whose positive tests went unreported last week, Downing Street has said.

The prime minister's official spokesman also said the number of call attempts was being increased from 10 to 15 to ensure as many contacts as possible were traced.

He said that decisions on local lockdowns had not been affected by the unreported cases, and that the government would introduce further restrictions if required.

If you’re just joining us this lunchtime in the UK, here’s a round-up of the main developments:

• Boris Johnson has said the UK's coronavirus figures are more "realistic" following the addition of 16,000 confirmed cases which had been missing last week due to a technical glitch. He said NHS Test and Trace is in the process of finding the contacts of these cases.
• Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said he will "always balance the books" despite the mounting costs of the coronavirus crisis. But he also said he would use the "overwhelming might of the British state" to help people find new work.
• Thousands of jobs are at risk after Cineworld said it was closing all 127 of its UK cinemas, including the Picturehouse venues. The prime minister said the government was helping industries such as cinema and urged people to go out and support movie theatres.
• The Welsh government is considering imposing quarantine on people from Covid hotspots in other parts of the UK. But Welsh Conservatives said it was a "dangerous slope" for the government to go down
• Scotland is considering new restrictions to tackle the rise in infections, with national clinical director Jason Leitch saying a two-week "circuit-breaker" of tougher rules could buy a month's time in the epidemic
• Outdoor education centres have written to the Prime Minister saying they face an "existential threat" if residential school trips are not allowed to resume.

Donald Trump is expected to return to the White House on Monday after his condition continued to improve overnight, his chief of staff has told US broadcaster Fox News.

Mark Meadows said he had spoken with Trump earlier on Monday morning.

The White House chief of staff said the president will later meet with doctors and nurses to make further assessments of his progress.

Meadows had painted a gloomy picture of Trump’s condition on Saturday, saying the president's vital signs had been "very concerning".

However, White House Physician Dr Sean Conley contradicted that assessment, giving a more upbeat prognosis on Saturday and Sunday.

But there was scepticism over the prospect of Trump’s departure from hospital on Monday after it emerged that he had received extra oxygen and a steroid normally reserved for serious cases.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said the capital is at a "very serious tipping point" and the test and trace system is "letting London and the country down" at a crucial moment.

He described the delay in reporting nearly 16,000 cases as "the latest debacle from the government's disastrous test and trace system".

"London is at a very serious tipping point and, with cases rising, it's essential that we have an accurate picture of the number of cases, and that their contacts are urgently told to self-isolate," he said.

A video which claims to show bikers praying for President Donald Trump outside the Walter Reed Medical Center isn’t from this weekend, and wasn’t even filmed in the United States.

The clip, shared more than 25,000 times on Twitter and viewed over 1.3m times, was uploaded onto video-sharing platform TikTok on Friday, but the same clip had previously been uploaded by the same user on 12 September, this time claiming to be bikers commemorating the 9/11 attacks.

However, detective work by fact-checking website Lead Stories, external, verified by the BBC, reveals that the video was actually shot in South Africa and shows bikers protesting against farm murders.

The original clip was uploaded to TikTok, external on 29 August, and comparison with Google Street View shows it was shot outside the Union Building in Pretoria.

Iran has reported a record daily number of new coronavirus infections and a record-equalling number of deaths, as it struggles to contain what officials have called a “third wave” of its outbreak.

Health ministry spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari said 3,902 people had tested positive for Covid-19 and 235 had died in the past 24 hours, external, bringing the overall totals since February to 475,674 and 27,192 respectively.

Iran, one of the hardest hit countries in the Middle East, has seen a spike in new infections in recent weeks. More than 3,500 new cases have been reported on each of the past seven days, with the previous record daily number coming on Thursday.

All but one of the country’s 31 provinces are considered to be “red” zones where infections are on the rise, but the situation in Tehran is of particular concern.

On Saturday, authorities ordered the closure of schools, universities libraries, mosques and other public institutions in the capital and its surrounding area for a week to limit the spread of Covid-19.

President Hassan Rouhani meanwhile warned that anyone who concealed a Covid-19 infection and failed to self-quarantine for 14 days would face “the highest punishment”.

We heard a little while ago from Chancellor Rishi Sunak, addressing the virtual Conservative party conference.

Now shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds has tweeted, saying: "The Chancellor just spoke for 10 minutes, but he had nothing new to say.

"No new targeted support for millions facing the furlough cliff edge. Nothing new for the self-employed. Nothing for those excluded so far.

"He just blew his chance to get a grip on Britain's jobs crisis."

We reported earlier on a drop in the number of Covid-related deaths and daily cases in Peru but one Latin American country where infections continue to rise is Argentina.

Health authorities registered their highest number of daily cases so far on Friday with 14,687 confirmed infections. While the figures were lower on Saturday and Sunday, Argentina looks set to pass the 800,000 cases mark later on Monday.

The worst affected area is the capital, Buenos Aires, and its surroundings.

Argentina was one of the countries which imposed a strict lockdown early on but, as it has loosened restrictions, the number of infections has jumped up.

Experts warn that because the number of coronavirus tests being carried out in Argentina is very low, the real figure could be much higher.

The Scottish Government is considering if more restrictions need to be put in place to control rising cases of coronavirus.

At her daily briefing today, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said a decision would be made in the next few days.

She said there had been a "quite significant number of new cases" reported over the weekend, which was a cause for concern.

697 new cases have been reported in Scotland since yesterday, which represents 12.8 percent of new tests.

Restaurants, bars and cafés reopened on Monday in India’s financial capital, Mumbai. They closed more than six months ago to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

But life is far from normal in the city, which is known for its food and nightlife. It’s among the worst-hit, with more than 200,000 confirmed cases.

Restaurants and bars will reopen with 50% seating capacity, thermal screening, social distancing and other safety measures - staff must wear masks, and customers have to reserve tables before arriving and pay bills virtually, wherever possible.

And businesses have been directed to keep a record of customers - names and phone numbers - to allow for contact tracing.

It's not the normal conference speech where you get a raft of announcements about what the government is planning.

But I thought we did get the rough plan from Rishi Sunak, as well as that defence of the way that the government has approached things so far.

A very clear message from the chancellor that the economy, he believes, is going to change.

And clear too that some people are going to lose their jobs and that the government strategy is to retrain them, to try and make sure they can find new jobs, as the economy changes as a result of the pandemic.

Earlier, we reported on plans for stricter coronavirus measures in the French capital amid a surge in coronavirus cases.

Now the police chief in Paris has confirmed that bars will close for two weeks from Tuesday, as the city is placed under maximum alert.

Restaurants, museums, cinemas and theatres will be able to stay open as long as they adhere to strict hygiene rules, Didier Lallement announced.

However, circuses, fairs and exhibitions will have to close until 15 October, while swimming pools and gyms will only be allowed to admit children.

"We have to slow (the virus) down now before our health-care system is overwhelmed," the police chief said, as parts of the city recorded more than 260 cases per 100,000 people.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak says the Conservative government has "stood between the people and the danger" during the coronavirus crisis "and we always will".

Speaking at the Conservative digital conference, he has been outlining measures the government had taken, especially the furlough scheme. He said this "protected millions of families at the most acute stage of this crisis".

"Whilst we would not have wished for this burden, it has been for many, for the first time in their lives, a moment in which government ceased to be distant and abstract, but became real, and felt, and something of which people could be proud," he says. "Action met words."

He said he cannot save every job but that his priority is to "create, support and expand opportunity" for as many people as possible. Protecting public finances is also a priority, "getting our borrowing and debt under control"

Hard choices are everywhere he says, but promises to "always be pragmatic".

There have been claims on social media about the side effects of drugs given to Donald Trump in hospital.

One tweet in particular - which has been liked more than 85,000 times - says that dexamethasone will have left the US president "incapacitated". But is this true?

Dexamethasone is a potent steroid and President Trump has been given it to help his body as it fights his coronavirus infection.

It is normally reserved for the most serious cases of the disease – people critically ill in intensive care who need the help of a machine to breathe – so it’s raised a few eyebrows that Mr Trump has been given a dose so soon, when he doesn’t appear to be that sick.

But it is important to sort rumours from fact when talking about the effects that the drug can have on the mind. Only Mr Trump’s physicians have the full picture of the president’s health.

Like all drugs, dexamethasone can have side effects. Listed among the most common are anxiety, altered mood and cognitive impairment.

Mr Trump’s doctors will have considered this when deciding whether to give the president the drug, weighing all the pros and cons.

Side effects are more common with prolonged use, rather than the short course that Mr Trump will receive.

Reality Check

Doctors have said they hope US President Donald Trump could be released from hospital later today.

But what would happen if a president became too ill to carry out his duties? It has happened before, under both Ronald Reagan's and George W Bush's administrations.

Luckily, the US constitution sets out what would happen next, with the 25th Amendment allowing a president to hand over power to the vice-president by sending a letter to Congress. In this administration, that would mean Mike Pence taking charge.

Once fit again, Mr Trump could reclaim his position.

If the president was too unwell to hand over power, the vice-president and cabinet could declare him unable to continue, and Mr Pence would assume the role.

If Mr Pence became incapacitated as well, under the Presidential Succession Act Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives - a Democrat - would be next in line, although constitutional experts say such a transfer of power would prompt legal battles.

England striker Tammy Abraham has apologised "for the naivety shown" after he was reported to have breached coronavirus guidelines.

It was reported in the Sun that about 20 people - including two of his England team mates - attended a surprise party for his 23rd birthday, held at his home on Saturday.

That would be a breach of rules on social gatherings, which cannot be attended by more than six people.

The Chelsea player said he was unaware the party had been planned but "deeply regrets" it.

The party happened hours after Abraham played in Chelsea's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday and before he was set to join up with the England squad this week.

With less than a month until the US presidential election, campaigning is continuing - albeit without Donald Trump.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden tested negative for coronavirus on Friday and again on Sunday - five days after he shared a stage with Trump during the presidential debate in Ohio. He is set to travel to the key swing state of Florida on Monday, where he will take part in a televised town hall meeting in Miami.

Biden's campaign has withdrawn adverts attacking the president since he fell ill.

Vice-President Mike Pence has also tested negative twice since Trump's nomination and is continuing to hit the campaign trail.

With Trump's condition creating uncertainty over the future of the final two presidential debates, all eyes will be turning to Utah on Wednesday, when Pence will face Kamala Harris in the vice-presidential debate.

Pence, who was pictured attending the ceremony on 26 September where Mr Trump formally announced his nomination of the conservative Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court, has said he does not need to quarantine. Eight people who attended the ceremony are known to have tested positive since.
