Talks are continuing between the government and local leaders over the expansion of the strictest coronavirus restrictions to more parts of England.

Liverpool City Region is the only area in the top tier of restrictions, with pubs and bars not serving meals closed.

But Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has said he is meeting the PM's team later to discuss the issue.

Greater Manchester and Lancashire are at risk of being placed under "very high alert" - the highest level of restrictions - with further discussions taking place later.
