2. 'No agreement' over Greater Manchester deal

A meeting between government ministers and Greater Manchester leaders ended "abruptly" with no agreement over introducing tighter restrictions in the region, a source has said. Local leaders want better financial support before agreeing to a move to the top tier of rules, which would force some businesses to close. Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the government is "working hard" to reach a deal. He also said further talks this week are planned with the leaders of South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, the North East and Teesside to discuss stepping up action.
