search mirror thing looking at search dogs being trained to track down dementia patients who go missing. the search dog heroes help bring vulnerable people back to safety. with us we have andrew tuck a editor —— the editor of monocle, coronavirus totally dominating papers and social media and online. this is the ft looking at the oecd warning. let's ta ke ft looking at the oecd warning. let's take some positive news from this. first of all, banks and countries have been through lots of these terrible stress moments before, we had september 11, we had the 2008 crash, so it is good that there isa crash, so it is good that there is a level of co—ordination between national governments and these huge organisations, that they have the sense of preparedness. in 2008 when the banks crashed, everyone stress tested so we know that our financial institutions are in a stronger state than they were before. so what is good is that

we are seeing here a huge amount of early co—ordination, evenin amount of early co—ordination, even in countries which only have a small amount of cases at the moment. and it seems that people know something will have to be done to stimulate the economy as we go through this very difficult period. the oecd is wanting that the impact on global growth, saying that if it is long and protracted and quite damaging, they are going to have to readjust that assessment, as is the world bank and imf. the financial times looks at some of this in detail. to what extent are you concerned, what are your...” am hugely concerned. we run a country accompany other hundred and 20 people, we have offices in tokyo, hong kong, we are dealing there with staff who have had to change their work patterns, in japan have had to change their work patterns, injapan every have had to change their work patterns, in japan every school is now closed, and my colleague who runs the office they are, she has had to bring in patchwork cover to make sure there someone to after her children. we have seen partners around the world being

cautioned about the months ahead, so the impact on businesses like ours as well. and what are your readers saying to you about this? what of our readers i think want to get some sense of, what is the bigger picture, what is the plan here? we are all getting caught up in his rolling news, and one of the annoying figures i see every day is the number of cases in the number of deaths. but why don't they add—on to the bottom of that the number of people who have already recovered? the number of people who have already recovered ? even the number of people who have already recovered? even here in uk, 50% of people have already got better and i back to normal. we sometimes get caught up normal. we sometimes get caught up in this rolling news problem, which we face as well as an organisation, jump on the next number and the next number... my phone is pinning me all the time with a breaking news, the latest alert, the latest line, so whether you like it or not you are reminded of it aren't you. there is a little too much could, maybe, and that's not enough analysis in the papers i think. looking at the new york times, they

have this article on the front page, quarantined by colour code, some of the action being taken in china as people do return to work in china. this article implies that there is a lot more behind the colour coding system and perhaps just trying to contain coronavirus. a really interesting piece of investigative reporting by the new york times, they are saying that alibaba which is the big tech company in china, has put out this system where you upload some information gives you a code, whether you are healthy, whether you should be in quarantine all whether you can go back to work. i don't quite understand how it is doing that, but in the meantime it takes your personal information and shares it with the police, sharing your location and what you're up to. we already know the role of technology in the police and the state merge quite heavily in china, but this is saying that even many users in china are unaware of how quickly their data is being shared. are unaware of how quickly their data is being sharedm is not a level of control isn't

it, control through data, through the information from again these smart devices —— it is another level of control from these devices that are now being most of the time. we had the news last year about facial recognition being used in china to spot where people were at all times, and this is another pa rt all times, and this is another part of this notion that china sometimes operators a bit of a police state. times looks at some of the measures being taken by big sporting fixtures, plans to play games behind closed doors if watching a football match in the uk or elsewhere in europe is brought toa elsewhere in europe is brought to a halt. they will carry on. they are saying in places like switzerland already 1000 people is the maximum who can gather, in france they have cancelled sporting fixtures and in italy, it does seem likely that if the numbers rise here we should be prepared for that. authorities are saying maybe if it is just for a week or two we willjust delay matches, but otherwise we need to keep football going and to be honest, people are stuck at home and want to watch

sports. they can watch on the telly! not as much cheering in the stands but they can still carry on with the games in the league. fa, premier league, english football will continue, thatis english football will continue, that is the thinking anyway, that is the thinking anyway, thatis that is the thinking anyway, that is being reported in the times. let's move on to other stories. the independent is looking at the various trade talks which are going on. measuring the benefit of the uk -us measuring the benefit of the uk — us trade relationship going forward , — us trade relationship going forward, and the loss of what we might lose if we don't get a decent deal with the european union. this is a negotiating mandate that has been put out that hence that even if we get a very good deal with the us, it won't replace the relationship we have with the eu, which may be true but come back to the fact that many people who voted for brexit knew that and that isn't really the reason they voted for it. i don't like being part of the eu time that if we take an

economic hit we don't mind if it changes our relationship with europe. the other interesting thing and this is that there is some hint of what they are thinking about, negotiations with the us over food, and one of those things is to ensure high standards. that is very loose, everyone is concerned about this, correlated chicken and the changing standards they are, —— chlorinated. some are saying these are still high standards and we will work around you. front page of the times, hotel rooms cost more when booked on travel sites. i was quite surprised to hear this actually because you assume if you book through something like booking .com or experia, they are all comparing with each other and trying to get you to decent deal, but this is a no. the interesting thing here is that many people think they are being clever by going onto the hotel's own website to see what they are offering, but there is

a deal in the background with the hotel saying that the hotel is not allowed to offer a cheaper price than these websites. so you think you are checking with the hotel but it is not the best price they will offer. but if you pick up the phone you will get better deal. i think it says about our society as well, people don't like being on the phone. it is also time—consuming, and if it isa also time—consuming, and if it is a foreign language, going on the website is so much quicker. you can do it anywhere, and not necessarily have to have a phone conversation. we think we are saving money and being efficient, it turns out we are just being efficient and not saving money. thank you for your comments by the way, gareth says "to get a deal i would book hotels through various online coupons and vouchers, the deal are fa ntastic". vouchers, the deal are fantastic". teddy says "i have used a broker and it is

invariably cheaper when i booked direct". anything that actually booking direct is usually the best option. so interesting, thank you for your comments. and finally, i love this story in the mirror, it makes absolute sense. training dogs to find vulnerable people, dementia patients for example who perhaps go wandering. what a really good idea. it is amazing, what they do with these dogs is they introduce them to the centre, they prickle accent from people with dementia and then they give that sent to the dog, and they can go out and find the person, they have found instances where this has worked and they have involved over 100 dogs in this programme, it is £1 million scheme. people are saying that every day numerous people who have german —— dementia going missing. a patient goes missing every five hours apparently. and the numbers of people are extraordinary that already have dementia, they are saying that by 2040 they are expecting 1.6 million people in the uk alone to have dementia. dogs, we

know, do many amazing things when people have epileptic fits, they are good at getting one that is about to happen, we know they're all sorts of who have this amazing tuning into your health needs. so another extraordinary story. you have a dog. i have a fox terrier called macy. is she tuned into your health needs? she is tune into many of my needs, and when i got into many of my needs, and when igot up into many of my needs, and when i got up early this morning she was very disgruntled and left my pillow. that means she is not getting her walk at a regular time? —— left on my pillow. —— leapt up. thank you for your comments about where you will book your holidays and being ripped off online. keep those coming, whatever you're up those coming, whatever you're up to have a good day and will see you soon. hello. i know there's still

significant flooding around but isn't it nice to get away from february's relentless grey and of course wet and see something brighter, bluer in the skies, many of us did during monday. there were still some big showers around, no—one is suggesting this week is dry, but there is some texture in the sky for the time being. things are a bit quieter than they have been and we'll get a bit of sunshine again in the day ahead but there will also be some showers around. the big picture showing a few disturbances moving around the uk with showers on tuesday but we're eyeing up another area of low pressure in the atlantic and this looks like bringing another spell of rain to many of us during wednesday into thursday, as we'll see in a moment. tuesday's start, cold, frosty for some of us, icy patches where we have had a few showers. one area of showers clearing away from north—east england, eastern scotland first thing and another pulling away from northern ireland and wales during the morning but then this has to feed around scotland through england. a shower could be heavy and wintry on hills, some hail possible too. behind it, the sun comes back and a lot of it for northern ireland in the afternoon and increasingly so for wales and western parts of england.

some of us have temperatures in double figures and most of us will not. it is breezy, quite blustery out there with some of the showers, but it's nowhere near as windy as it's been. and actually, with mainly light winds and clear skies on tuesday night, that means there'll be a widespread frost around but then look at this cloud and some rain heading in towards south—west england, south—west wales. the temperature not going down too far, and actually recovering later in the night. that rain is from that area of low pressure i showed you. some uncertainty as to how far north it will get on wednesday, but every new forecast u nfortu nately takes it further north, so that does mean a spell of rain heading through much of england and wales towards northern ireland, perhaps even southern scotland as well. not necessarilyjust rain. some hill snow more especially into the pennines for a time, as overnight and into thursday the outbreaks of rain continue through parts of england and wales and then on thursday will slowly clear from the east and south—east of england. behind that, yes, it will be turning drier on thursday. will get a bit brighter too.

temperatures pretty much where they are going to be throughout the week. but then there's another area of wet weather aiming at us for friday. this weather front has to move through and then low pressure looks to be coming in for the weekend. so what does that mean over the weekend? it means there'll be another spell of rain heading our way, unfortunately. and the winds will start to pick up as well. although with that, the temperatures will recover a few degrees but it does mean not as much of that sunshine.
