Tougher post-lockdown rules for England "strike a balance", Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

At a Downing Street briefing, the PM acknowledged that the stricter three-tiered system of regional measures to tackle coronavirus would bring "heartbreak and frustration".

But he said "your tier is not your destiny" and stressed that "every area has the means of escape".

Almost all of England faces strict rules when lockdown ends next week.
