The UK faces an "unquestionably difficult winter" and must "summon discipline, resolve and a spirit of togetherness" to get through. That was the message from Boris Johnson in an address to the nation on Tuesday night. He said there had been "too many breaches" of the rules, which were leading to a surge in coronavirus infections, and therefore new restrictions were needed to try to peg things back.
Here we set the new measures out in full. They include closing hospitality venues, such as pubs, at 22:00 BST and expanding requirements for wearing face masks. Fines for breaking the rules have also been increased, and Mr Johnson warned "tougher measures" could be introduced if these ones are ignored.
The PM is walking a fine line - some in his party are unhappy at the prospect of restrictions continuing for another six months, while some scientists question whether the measures go far enough. Mr Johnson, who only decides the rules for England, stopped short of joining Scotland and Northern Ireland in banning people visiting each other's homes, but the feeling is that's the almost inevitable next step.
There is also a recognition within government, as our health correspondent Nick Triggle puts it, that the public is tiring of the battle against coronavirus. He says with hospital admissions and deaths still low, there's a window of opportunity before more difficult decisions have to be taken, but it's likely that infections will continue to rise and those choices will become unavoidable. At that point, it will come down to how far the government is prepared to go towards another full lockdown to contain the virus.
Many are now asking whether more support will be offered to sectors of the economy worst hit, including sport, especially with the furlough scheme due to end in a few weeks

The government says a "reasonable worst-case scenario" could see queues of up to 7,000 lorries in Kent and two-day delays to trade after the Brexit transition period ends on 1 January. New border controls will also disrupt imports as well as exports, and problems could be compounded by staff shortages due to coronavirus. The warnings are contained in a letter from cabinet minister Michael Gove to the freight industry, seen by BBC News.
Our economics editor Faisal Islam says the aim is to encourage traders to take all possible steps to prepare. But, he adds, hauliers fear they'll be cast as the fall guys for delays and disruption in the New Year.
Here's a reminder of where we are with Brexit in general.

The Law Commission - the body which keeps the law in England and Wales under review - is recommending for the first time that women should be protected under hate crime laws. A crime is considered more serious if it involves a hate element and the change would see misogyny treated in the same way as other discrimination, like racism or homophobia, when it's a motivating factor.
Seven police forces in England and Wales already class misogyny as a hate crime, but the definition hasn't been adopted across the board. Campaigners welcomed the proposal, among them Labour MP Stella Creasy, who called it "our moment for change".

There's only one story in town this morning. The Daily Mail says Boris Johnson unveiled "draconian orders" that will "wreck hopes of a traditional Christmas". For the Daily Star, the "new Covid master plan" is the exact opposite of the last one, when he urged people to go back to work and said Christmas wasn't cancelled. The Daily Mirror believes he took a "gamble" by not going as far in England as other parts of the UK have gone. Indeed, the i says he's already been warned by experts that the new restrictions won't be enough. The Sun thinks that without a vaccine or mass instant testing we are doomed to repeat this cycle of suppressing and relaxing forever. Sources have told the Guardian that Chancellor Rishi Sunak is weighing up plans to replace the furlough scheme with German-style wage subsidies as part of a wider support package to help businesses. Finally, for some light relief, the papers welcome the new series of Bake Off - what the Times calls "TV's sweetest treat".
