There's been anger recently from businesses under Tier two restrictions.

They'd complained that they'd be better off if they were made to close completely under Tier three restrictions.

Now Richie Soon AC has stepped in to help.

From the first of November, employers will pay less and staff can work fewer hours and still be eligible for government support.

To qualify, employees will have toe work just 20% of their normal hours a za little as one day a week.

But overall they will still take home about three quarters of their pay.

Employers will only pay 5% for hours, not worked much less than previously planned.

There are also cash grants for those in Tier two.

If you are a business, you can claim up to £2100 a month.

If you are self employed, you could claim up to £3750 over three months.

The chancellor also confirmed that these business grants can be backdated toe August, helping those who have been living under restrictions for weeks.

Now our political editor, Laura Kuhns Berg, has our first report.

Limbo not fully open, not completely closed.

Thousands of farms, millions of us living under limited restrictions.

It's no way to make ends meet.

So the government again stepping in with more cash to try to keep people in work.

From the beginning, this government has provided unprecedented support to everyone in this country support worth £200 billion.

I'm making our job support scheme more generous for employers who can open safely but who are struggling with the impact of restrictions on their business.

Instead of employees working at least a third of their hours to qualify for support, they will now have to work just one day a week.

The dole queue in slow has already grown faster than in most parts of the country.

There, along with Coventry and Stoke on Trent, friends and family won't be able to meet indoors or stay with each other unless they live together from Saturday.

Z is a fishmonger.

His customers are hard up and spending less people.

They don't have a job and That's why all my customers, they used to spend like, lots of money, but they spend like that's about every Tom.

When they come, they just for surviving.

Raise one's even had to shut.

Some of his business is down.

We used to have, like a like 10 10 different shops, like in a different part off learned on and after learning, and now we go only to with real hardship around.

It's easy to see why the chancellor had to go back to Parliament, not even a month since the last big announcement of cash.

To top it up for his critics so harder to see why he didn't see the scale of the problem to begin with.

For months, we've urged the chancellor to get ahead of the looming unemployment crisis on act to save jobs.

Instead, we've had a patchwork of poor ideas rushed out at the last minute on on Tuesday, the government was still waging a furious battle with leaders in the north west of England over £5 million.

Now, on Thursday, cash for across the country has arrived, with some of it back dated to I honestly was just open mouth, really when I read the headlines last night that it was gonna be a support package.

It was billed as being for London and Birmingham, and it was just a case of Hello.

We've been under these restrictions for for three months.

It's the third time since this summer the chancellor's had to revise his plans.

Why do you keep underestimating the help that people really need?

As thes new restrictions have been put in place, the impact they're having on the ground has been highly significant.

We will adapt and evolve our response as the situation changes on prime minister to you.

This week you've been to war with leaders in the north of England.

You're still leaving some workers on two thirds of their wages or telling them to claim benefits and cases of coronavirus keep on rising.

This is really the kind of leadership you think the country deserves.

Well, Laura, I must, I'm afraid, strongly reject what you say about me being at war.

We've had great conversations with with local leaders, mayors and others, and everybody has come to the table shown leadership stepped up to the plate.

Whatever he says, this has bean, a very bumpy week for the government and even among Tories.

The start of some doubts about the chancellor whose start had shown on fears that ministers aren't prepared yet to do enough for those facing hardship this winter.

And with yet more of the country heading to tighter limits, a tough season for the government and the economy approaches with no certain way out.

Laura Ginsburg, BBC News.

Westminster.

So what difference will the changes make to both the businesses that have been having such a tough time onto the economy?

Our economics editor Faisal Islam, explains.

This pizza chain mainly operates in big cities now under tier two restrictions, so is not required to close.

Things had improved over summer, but the withdrawal of the furlough scheme alongside new restrictions with stretching things.

Here they welcome a fully baked return with taxpayer funding for worker wages.

Over the weekend, we've seen a steep drop in sales in general, especially with a tear to affect that you can't go out, we can't go out in a way.

So the new measures in place that they will ensure that jobs are secure and will keep us many people in a working with us This is a significant increase in the taxpayers share of support for paying the wages of part time workers taking it back towards the furlough scheme.

It applies to small businesses and affected large businesses across the UK.

Originally in the most generous support, the taxpayer was to fund just over 1/5 of wages and employers just over half with workers having to work a third of their normal hours.

Now, workers will only have to work 1/5 of their hours.

Employers will contribute a bit more than that.

Half the original plan on the taxpayer sliced doubles to just under half the wage.

Workers will take home three quarters of their wage for working effectively one day a week.

The chancellor came here to sell his revised multibillion pound plan to the hospitality industry, who had said tear to restrictions were the worst of all worlds.

Taken together, all of these measures will make a significant difference and support more people's jobs.

Livelihood on businesses through the winter.

Chancellor Does this show that you got the judgment, your winter economic plan slightly wrong?

You were trying to force the economy to adjust to judge whether jobs were viable, and now we face a similar health crisis where people just need to be rescued and put food on the table.

I've always said that will adapt and evolve our support as the health situation changes, and that's clearly what's happened over the past few weeks.

We're seeing areas move into Tier two restrictions, and that's having a particular impact on hospitality businesses elsewhere.

For example, this new carbon B and B in Birmingham should get new monthly grants backdated to the beginning of local restrictions.

But here they told us the chancellor's should have acted more quickly.

It just felt so like it just feels like an afterthought.

Bond.

I have to say that anyone, if they sign that they didn't expect the loss would try to be so severe.

It can't be from anyone who understands the night trip hospitality.

This'd isn't just about several extra billion for supporting the economy.

It's a significant acknowledgement that the chancellor's original winter economic plan had some big gaps.

The basis of that was to encourage the economy to restructure for a new post cove.

It normal that employers would consider the viability off individual workers jobs now large sways of the economy because of rising infections, are back in survival mode.

Things should save thousands of jobs, but few would roll out the plan, having to be reheated again in the near future.

Faisal Islam BBC News Let's talk to Laura Ginsburg in Westminster, so these plans have been revised again.

Are they likely to be enough this time?

Well, Sophie, we've heard tonight in the last few minutes.

Haven't we have some businesses in many parts of the country are really finding it hard to keep going right now on this is not just some loose change that's been hanging around the Treasury.

This is a significant extra amount of money being pumped into the economy on it should make a big practical difference.

Too many businesses.

It should, in theory, therefore mean that many people who might therefore have been at risk of losing their job could be kept on in the coming months.

But the way that it's happened has left the chancellor open to the accusation that he's been playing catch up, not quite doing enough fast things developed to keep pace with the scale of the economic crisis.

On, of course, it also means that there is more time when from the other side, the government is continuing to borrow and borrow and borrow and borrow in order to try to keep the economy afloat during these unprecedented times.

Now, there's no question that there would be any immediate demands for the government to be starting to try to balance the books right now or starting to try to pay that money back.

But that is a long term issue that won't go away, and it's uncomfortable for many conservatives.

But there are conservatives who share the same concern as many on the opposition benches here in Westminster.

That anxiety that, given the scale of the challenge that people face right around the economy just how hard it is for people to make ends meet right now that the solutions the government are willing to put forward don't quite match up to the scale of the problem, political editor Laura Kingsburg Thank you.

Around a million more people in Stoke on Trent, Coventry and Slough are being moved into the high Corona virus alert level Tier two from Saturday.
