i think al»: w»‘g “ema «fag v» -,,_,? "pa-3g nevi «flag q. .,,_,? :,.\ somebody... i think transparency is incredibly important. with these situations, the issue now is about how much is hurting the economy. it has to be, you have to put it all out there. there is a delicate balancing act here. it's between what's going on, but ultimately, yeah. i think it's probably right. i think also people are looking at... i was underground today and it was really quiet. i was thinking, it doesn't effectively hit people who are a lot older. as he pointed out, are a lot older. as he pointed out, a lady in her 705 had toe morbidities, other publications. for some people, that's very reassuring because they think it doesn't apply to them. but for older people, there i5 to them. but for older people, there is some talk that will of them will wa nt to is some talk that will of them will want to stay home. if you live on your own, that's not a very

appetizing thought. your own, that's not a very appetizing thoughtli your own, that's not a very appetizing thought. i don't want to talk about this in any kind of has terrible terms. i think we need to talk about this as calmly as possible. —— hysterical terms. talk about this as calmly as possible. —— hystericalterms. i've seen people on social media saying it's fine, if only people with underlying health conditions. you think are people with underlying health condition, that's not mine. i think recognising this will impact people differently. —— that's not fine. they won't be ‘s... i think we should recognise that in the narrative. damned if you do, down but if you don't. i heard someone say it's as stars. —— sars. it's like how do you get this balancing at? you have to paint the worst case scenario, so it's a challenge for the government was being transparent without creating a fit. fear feeds off fear and we know where that

leads. i should ask you both, are you doing the handwashingare you worried? are you living life normally? i am doing the hand washing. people are saying toilet paper is running out. soap is as effective as hand wash. there were adverts for sort of elaborate handwashing going on. i think basically, it's all about the essentials in terms of what you're doing. are you handwashing? i wash my hands every day! laughter i have general hygiene levels. to be honest, i think one thing i think about this is the people who maybe don't have these conditions or are older, it's also what can you do. what the amount you can do? i think we what the amount you can do? i think we should be taking it seriously, we should be thinking about things like how well—equipped is the nhs. that's also an issue. but i mean, i think

there is not a huge amount we can do apart from thinking about things like the advice of to wash her hands, and if there's any other kind of... anything else the government comes outwith, they have close schools which will have a knock on effect. some of this comes down to social media. put our advice right oi'i social media. put our advice right on top of google for what you can do. yeah, debunk the myths. still on this but on the financial times. you are talking about people cashing in. there is a suspicion that the americans are getting a bit miffed that other countries may be limiting access to certain supplies because they want to hoard it for themselves. some people are trying to make political cuts it seems. us

officials criticised countries who have introduced export control to limit medical supplies in response to the crisis. this comes back to the whole issue, is it overprotection? is actually fuelling what's going on. certainly concerning, i think it's a case of, i hate to say this but the media have the huge role in this. what they say, what they don't say, and how responsible are they and say ok, look, it's bad but it's not the bubonic plague. this is about governments though. some countries are thinking we might need to keep things to ourselves. there's kind of a mix of things mentioned in this story. one is in governments doing things like introducing restrictions on overseas sales, of things like

facemasks and respirators. the other things is countries like india limiting the exports of certain goods. what set in the article is that whilst the perspective may be to ensure we don't have shortages, it could have an effect on global supply chains. so really avoiding creating some sort of crisis around this. recognising that actually collaboration... politicians need to ta ke collaboration... politicians need to take a step back. be constructive, hold the government to account but i'll try to hold the government to account but i'lltry to make... hold the government to account but i'll try to make... we need to move on. let's go to the united states. who will war and back now? elizabeth warren has pulled out of the democratic nomination race and lots of questions about that. joe biden

seems like the front runner now. michael bloomberg dropped out as well. i have to say, from my perspective, it looks like trump 's gonna walk at this time. i think it's a shame that bloomberg blocks out. i think he wasn't most charismatic in terms of candidates. he didn't have the numbers, but had he actually got there, he could have hit, hurt and wound trump up in a sense that much more of a successful businessman himself may have —— could have really hurt trump. eyes are rolling here! biden against sanders. it's like corbyn all over again. been there, done that. by then, you know, his time is too late to me. he is forgetful, i think trump hasa to me. he is forgetful, i think trump has a good line of attack on him. everyone is quite old in this

race. but there is no one from the democrat side who can electrify this rates. we have characters like the chairman of starbucks running, some really great characters. it's been quite a bland field. i find it astonishing that somebody would be backing bluebird. —— bloomberg. his response, one of his responses to being questioned about those mbas, some women didn't like his jokes. being questioned about those mbas, some women didn't like hisjokes. i think that's terrible, particularly when we hear things like the harvey weinstein trial. it's appalling that someone weinstein trial. it's appalling that someone like him would even be considered. while he's gone now. i think we'll will wait and see what elizabeth warren says. i think

sanders could really benefit from her coming out and saying, "this is who i was closest to." i think it's still to play for. and we will really see what happens in terms of those campaigns, but i would say that what i find quite exciting and interesting is that something coming out of the campaign for sanders, stand up for the person you don't know, stand up for the people standing next to you. i thickets up nice message to be sending. —— i think it's a nice message. the one thing i think could hurt trump is the coronavirus. he makes a lot of gains out of the start mocha it —— stock market. that will hurt him. he's been saying everyone's fine. of course he would say that. quickly

let's go to the financial times because they are looking at struggling flybe collapse. this has been a blow for many regional airports. it's been an ongoing thing. flybe have collapsed in the wa ke thing. flybe have collapsed in the wake of the coronavirus. the government bailed them out in october. the biggest region operator in the uk, they fly from areas such as cornwall through to jersey and glasgow. i do not buy the argument. ultimately, markets operate. markets decide. they've gone down. should the government have stepped in? but they did. it still didn't work. it was a temporary sticking plaster. the idea of the government is not committed to regional connectivity is blown apart by hsz. committed to regional connectivity

is blown apart by hszi committed to regional connectivity is blown apart by h52. i think one of the things in this particular story is what it means to people's jobs. $2400 at risks. —— jobs at risk. it involves doing this in the most environmentally sustainable way possible and not actually relying these kinds of flights and moving towards trains, more buses that are cheap and affordable and green. parts of the country, it's impossible to get around because of cuts to bus services. i think there has been some investment announcements. i think that needs to be major and fundamental overall. but at the shame this happened this way. 2000 people are looking at a different future. we've usually got —— literally have seconds left. but the metro talking about meghan stressing the important thing was

that harry and meghan were undertaking and engagement in london. is their last engagement before they head off to their new life in north america. frankly, good luck to them. bold move in terms of what they done. counterintuitive, but i think actually it could be quite successful. i will spare you on that. i'll put it on the spot next time. that's it for the papers this hour. giles and maya will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to giles and maya. we'll all be back for that second review in about 40 minutes. but for the moment, goodbye.

good evening. it has been a day of contrast. if you don't believe me, ta ke contrast. if you don't believe me, take a look at this. a beautiful day in the lake district. art of north yorkshire nearly nine hours of sunshine today, but it was a different story further south. the only thing bright was really the beach huts, we had over an inch and a half of rain in parts of eat sockets today —— cease suck us —— east of sussex. we will see the temperature is falling away then in the next few hours. first thing tomorrow morning, we will see temperatures down or just tomorrow morning, we will see temperatures down orjust below freezing in a few places. the exception, the far southeast. more cloud here getting into northern ireland. here we can have a scattering of showers. elsewhere, some early morning mist and fog passes will lift away and it will be dry, predominantly sunny. we will see a scattering of showers becoming more widespread. if you dodge the

showers, some sunshine, it will certainly feel warmer for many in comparison to today. 7—iid. as a move at a friday into the start of the weekend, this area of low pressure pushing in. it will bring some wet and windy weather with it, but it's really worth emphasising that for many, the weekend is not going to be a wash—out by any means. there will be some drier, brighter interludes as well. that means that on saturday, for many of us, a good deal of dry weather. as a go to the day, some rain heavy and persistent into northwest scotland, northern islands and northwest england as well. —— northern ireland. the winds will increased. that rain is going to sweep its way south and east overnight saturday into sunday, it's worth emphasising overnight is when we worth emphasising overnight is when we will see the heaviest, most persistent rain. it's going to clear

southeast of england early on sunday morning. plenty of ice on the charts. it will still be pretty windy on sunday, and that will as a consequence, blow in a frequent rash of showers. some of the showers are heavy with some hail and thunder, but some of you will dodge the shower and keep some sunny spells again. highs of 7—iid. it looks as though this trend will stay with us monday into tuesday. it looks as though it will stay blustery with showers, some of them quite heavy at times. there you go.

this is bbc news, i'm rachel schofield. the headlines at 11. confirmation of the first death from coronavirus here in the uk — the patient was being treated at the royal berkshire hospital and had an underlying health condition. the prime minister says government scientists are examining what steps might be needed to deal with the outbreak. what they are looking at in the next few days, at in the next few days, in the near future, is what kind of measures might be necessary to retire the spread of the disease. a report from inside syria's idlib province, as a ceasefire is agreed after months of heavy bombardment. grounded — the collapse of flybe leaves passengers in the lurch
