lighter winds and temperatures starting to do a little better. there may be more cloud down towards the far south and east. as we head into tuesday we've still got low pressure close by and it will try to send a weather front our way but it bumps into the area of high pressure and will probably weaken as it does so. and will probably weaken as it does so. quite a bit of cloud associated with it, outbreaks of patchy rain, too. the far north of scotland perhaps seeing the best of any sunshine by temperature—wise we could see highs of 17 celsius down towards the far south and east. a little later on next week, it looks like high pressure will once again start to build after low pressure sta rts start to build after low pressure starts to have a bit more of an influence on our weather during the middle part of the week. i think after a settled start for many it will turn a little more unsettled for high pressure once again —— before high pressure once again yields in towards the end of next week.

hello, this is bbc news, with geeta guru—murthy. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: plans to tackle coronavirus in the uk are ramped up. the prime minister tells anyone with a new, persistant cough or fever to stay at home for a week. borisjohnson says we are facing the worst public health crisis in a generation. confirmed cases rose to nearly 600 today, but experts say up to 10,000 people in the uk could actually be infected. global stock markets in free fall. the ftse 100 suffers its biggest one—day tumble since 1987. empty streets in europe's worst—affected country, italy, as the death toll there passes 1,000. 188 people died in the

past 2a hours alone. broadway shuts its doors as a state of emergency is declared in new york, while president trump bans all travel to the us from continental europe. and this evening, arsenal has announced manager mikel arteta has tested positive for coronavirus. all players and staff who had recent contact with him will now self—isolate. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are evening standard's home affairs editor martin bentham and the talkradio presenter daisy mcandrew. the same sombre words leading most of the papers. in the times, many more families are going to lose loved ones, says borisjohnson, calling coronavirus the worst public health crisis in a generation. the daily mail has the same words from the prime minister. his top scientific adviser warns up to to 10,000 people in the uk already have the virus.

again, borisjohnson on the front of the guardian, as he sets out plans to halt the spread. but the mirror asks, is it enough, as the government refuses calls to ban crowds and close schools, like some other european nations. and in the financial times, trauma on the global markets. the worst day for the ftse100 since black monday in 1987. let since black monday in 1987. us have a look first of the let us have a look first of all at the daily mail, and that incredibly sombre line that we are seeing repeated everywhere. and you can bet your bottom dollar that this line was not an off—the—cuff line that just came to him. it was a carefully rehearsed and planned line. very deliberately intended to shock all of us into taking this very, very seriously. and i think that is the right thing to do, i am not saying

he is over egging it, totally not. but a lot of what we saw today was behavioural science. it was intended to make us all want to self isolate, i believe, so rather than saying you will self isolate or you will do social distancing, we. big events, and so on, i think it is more a case of them nudging us behaviourally to wa nt to of them nudging us behaviourally to want to do it ourselves. because looking at the evidence from some of the other countries, where they are saying what are we doing, being more draconian, they are getting a lot of pushback. a lot of people saying this is ridiculous, who is going to pay my bills, and not wanting to do it. so i do think although it seems counterintuitive, that we are not doing as much as other countries are doing, that we are taking fewer precautions, that is not the case. and this is what the scientists, both what the medical scientists and what the behavioural scientists, they think they are going to persuade most of us to be as responsible as possible. a huge decision, isn't it, for the government, in terms of when to take these really big measures, because there are so many lives at stake

here, and that is what we are all being warned, that our older relatives, anyone vulnerable, is massively at risk. it is, but to go to your point, the ultimate thing as it does rely on individual actions. because although the government can do big things like cancel sporting events, and so on, ultimately it requires people who think they have got it to self isolate, and help force people... actually, even if we wanted to force people, we wouldn't have the police to be able to do it, to be able to police the system. so whatever happens is going to rely on individual people doing the right thing for society, in effect, by reacting when they have got symptoms of it, staying at home, not moving around, and so on. and sol of it, staying at home, not moving around, and so on. and so i suppose exactly your point, that actually getting that message, taking the public with you, by convincing them of that, is going to be more effective, actually, than trying to operate some sort of draconian clampdown that people might resist.

that is what obviously the government seems to be betting on, and the daily mail describes this as one of the bleakest messages described by any modern prime minister. it is extraordinary, really, to think what has happened to this country, let alone everybody else, but this country, the political drama that we have seen in the last few weeks, months, years, is extraordinary. it is extraordinary, and now you see a totally different side of boris johnson, although he did have one aside to the scientists, the chief medical officer, pointing to this graph and saying we have got the peak here and we need to flatten it out, that is why we are doing delay but we are doing it in our own time. we're not going now because we will miss our peak opportunity. the prime minister describing it as squashing the sombrero. and you could see them going boris, did you have to bring in thatairof going boris, did you have to bring in that air ofjealousy? but he is actually saying your granny might die, and that is really bringing the message home, and saying we must all

be responsible and think about this asa be responsible and think about this as a member of our family, be responsible and think about this as a member of ourfamily, not be responsible and think about this as a member of our family, not a stranger who might die because we stand next to them on the tube, because we going to work when we are not feeling well because we are worried about losing money. not feeling well because we are worried about losing moneym not feeling well because we are worried about losing money. it is a political decision, obviously, not to push the button on doing more extensive things, but at the same time it is a political decision based on the science, and so really the decisions are being delegated to the decisions are being delegated to the experts and they are following that. as far as we know, they are following exactly what the experts are saying is the best solution. and i think it would leak, if the bookends either side of him, if they thought for a minute that the prime minister was taking political economic decisions that were not backed up at the science they are providing, iam backed up at the science they are providing, i am certain it would leak. because you are playing with fire, there is too much at risk. well, let's move on a little further, the daily mail asking is it enough, with a line that many loved ones are going to be lost in this,

but he refuses to close schools. we talk about the science, obviously the kind of basic medical science would say if you stay separate than any virus is not going to spread. this is being mixed with behavioural science, what we can realistically expect the public to do, how far they will listen to self isolating measures, and that is in the end only a guess. it is an estimate, it is not hard facts. well, that is true. and it is a political judgement, at the end of the day, isn't it? well, it is, but you have got to rely at the same time on the advice that you get. it is true that even the chief medical officer is relying on scenarios of how they think it is going to play out, because obviously we haven't been in this situation before, but it is not just a behavioural science thing. it is also about how the disease will spread. so for example children, i was reading something from someone in the medical world that says

actually children are... unlike most things, because they are less likely to be affected by this, apparently they are likely to share it best. and that is one of the reasons why many people saying including jeremy hunt, who was on the front page of the mirror, saying we are moving too slow. he was questioning whether the lack of social distancing, closing down big events, was sensible. he was saying he would like to see the data on which these decisions were based. and obviously closing schools is one of the decisions, and we know that it is one of the decisions, and we know thatitis is one of the decisions, and we know that it is being briefed that the science behind that decision is twofold. 0ne, science behind that decision is twofold. one, that the nhs, couples 01’ twofold. one, that the nhs, couples or parents who have school—age children are going to struggle if the schools are closed, and we might make a bad situation even worse if those nhs doctors and nurses, many of whom are going to get sick, and we're going to lose a whole other tranche of them because they be looking after their kids. the other problem that they have been briefing

is that a lot of parents who simply have to go to work will get granny and grandpa into look after their kids, therefore making vulnerable people possibly open, exposed to the virus. although jeremy hunt did say that you could have schools open for skeleton staff to cope with emergency services, families, for example, and he is also talking fundamentally about the lack of intensive care, these intensive care units, which we don't compare very favourably with, internationally. that was after he was health secretary, and austerity led by george osborne, your health editor, of course. yes, well... i don't presume he was expecting to face such a crisis. well, you said... actually, a lot academics have been talking about pandemic possibilities, very worrying, and i have done a number of stories and

events, and one has been banging on about pandemics. 0xford events, and one has been banging on about pandemics. oxford university saying this is not something that governments all over the world are preparing for or taking seriously. and he has always said it seems to be one like this one, that comes out of nowhere, or one created by terrorists. both would have the same effect, and he has been talking about that for a very long time. but your point about icu beds, we have two per 1000 people in this country. countries like japan and germany have three, four, five times that number. which is another reason why, in boris's words, we have to squash the sombrero. and that warning is again in the ft, in terms of whether we are doing enough, because the government is holding fire on closing schools. we are seeing so many governments, including in europe, our nearest neighbours, and ireland, scotland, taking much tougher action. but there is also this huge economic effect. but this

is an important thing as well. you we re is an important thing as well. you were talking in the earlier review about someone you know who has gone bust, and although the economic thing is not the most important aspect of this, health clearly comes first, but on the other hand, this is something that is going to affect notjust the is something that is going to affect not just the fluctuations of the stock market, but the real—life consequences of stock market, but the real—life consequences of businesses are struggling to survive, and people losing theirjobs as a result of it, and that is something that does have to be taken into consideration, and an overreaction that also causes unnecessary economic distress and people losing theirjobs and their livelihoods, which is going to be a lasting problem, is something that does have to be taken into account. and i think that what has been happening on the financial markets is an indication of the severity of the problem that is being faced here. and with anything like this, the lower the socio—economic group you are in, the more you will be affected, not just on you are in, the more you will be affected, notjust on the financial side, but on the health side as well, if you are on a zero hours

contract, if you are holding down twojobs, if you contract, if you are holding down two jobs, if you are using contract, if you are holding down twojobs, if you are using a contract, if you are holding down two jobs, if you are using a food bank and you get coronavirus, you are much more affected by getting coronavirus that you would be as somebody who is earning five or six times what you are earning. so it has a double whammy. although there's a whole lot of people in the gig economy who are not employed, who need more than you are going to get from benefits, who are going to struggle. it is notjust those people. that is obviously a big issue, but anybody who actually has to go out and do things which physically interact with people, isn't it? which is most of us. that kind of employment where you don't do it remotely so easily and you lose the work. right across the spectrum, some of those people who are in better paid jobs can survive, but not necessarily. and so it is a sweeping effect on the whole economy. and you sense that the government is going to have to do more. they announced a lot yesterday in the budget. i think the budget

was very good, as far as going as far as it possibly could. but it will almost certainly have to be revisited long before the next budget, depending on how much of a hit this does have. we have been hearing from people all day, people who sought of fall through the gaps. we just don't know, do we, is the longer the shot of it. nobody knows exactly how it is going to pan out and what the precise effects are going to be. but you are right, i am sure that things will be revisited and emergency packages will be announced if necessary to try to mitigate and i think so much of it at the moment is about trust, and whether we trust the government to be in charge, and when they tell us tojump, we willjump with we trust them. my sister lives in milan, and she has been saying it is very, very bleak there, but one of the problems, she has been saying to our family over here, tell everybody we didn't trust the government. we ignored the advice. we carried on because we thought it was a load of

old rubbish, now we are paying the price. the society have made massive mistakes, and you must listen to what you are told and you must follow the advice. that is very interesting, isn't it, because it is a comparable set of people. and she is very much saying we are all feeling stupid and guilty and worse than that, and please learn from our mistakes. which mistakes? when you are told to self—isolate, do it, when you are told to wash your hands, do it. in ireland, they are going to go much further. and the irish independent, which i think we have online, they are headlining they have 27 new cases with these emergency measures kicking in, childcare centres and schools closed. so what are families going to do? and... i wasjust going to say, is a challenge, isn't it? and it's all the services, isn't it? if you think about food, people

being confined to their homes, whose services are going to deliver that and put it in the warehouses and all those things? for food, i spent the day today with a lot of food safety and food grants and food manufacturers —— food plants. and they are now another emergency service in many ways, getting food is huge amounts of people that will have two self—isolate, making sure that supply chain is open and making sure the cells are not empty. this is an absolutely crucialjob and those people have to be protected as well. if they are all ill, then they won't be able to do that. and people will need to supply the fuel for the tankers and lorries to drive around with the food in it, for example. so it goes on, it's not quite so easy to say everyone just self—isolate and shutdown society. the new york

area new rochelle has brought in the military for that. this one here from the washington post is damning of president trump. some people saying it is the most expensive speech in history, he said he would ban european flights and immediately the stock markets went into a tailspin and then of course had to have the correction because it wasn't covering good is the way he said. so what has happened is yes, this great, cataclysmic effect on the stock market occurred, but the key point is it could easily have a long—term effect on his ability to secure a second term. not necessarily, i think it may be... all of the pundits here and the washington post is very condemning three of this particular speech, but people across america paying attention, what is the reality is

his whole message that the economy is on fire are doing tremendously well, starts to become clouded and thatis well, starts to become clouded and that is something he can't escape from. on top of that, his political opponents will understandably question his credibility and his ability to be competent in a crisis situation. so it is all very damaging and could have a very long—term lasting effect on the future of the world. i have always thought the one silver lining of coronavirus could be getting rid of donald trump. it could be the thing that leads to a severe recession. we don't want that silver lining to come at the cost of lots of lots of lives in the us. but i believed an american recession would get rid of him and he can't control it. a global recession is certainly being talked about a lot, isn't it? yeah. we wa nt talked about a lot, isn't it? yeah. we want to finish here with the matt cartoon in the telegraph. we want to finish here with the matt cartoon in the telegraphlj we want to finish here with the matt cartoon in the telegraph. i love this cartoon. it sang the one silver

lining or, —— it is saying the one silver lining or carbon neutral from this airways, there are quite a lot of environmental impacts. did you say is starbucks are no longer for the time being no longer refilling reusable cups. they are going back to disposable cups there are so many potentially good and bad other impacts. travel a problem as well if you have booked flights before march with some of these airlines, you don't necessarily get your money back was that you take a holiday? do you quarantine yourself? causing more problems for any country you go to, or do you stay here and lose all your cars. so really big problem, isn't it? i think you would have to make your own decision and take your own advice on what the situation is where you are and where you are going stop because there is a risk if you go somewhere you could get stuck there, that's true. it's

fascinating, could there be long—term behavioural implications of people working from home being forced to work from home and then thinking this works quite well for me and continuing or people who fly less following this outbreak. and cruise ships, you do feel the cruise industry has a disastrous future ahead, with their key demographic of the over 70. it's going to be very interesting to see. hopefully we will bounce back to normal. hopefully we can be nice to each other in the meantime. arm's length. blowing kisses. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any

just a reminder — there's much more on all the sport affected by the coronavirus outbreak on the bbc sport website including the australian grand prix not going ahead. and reaction to arsenal's coach mikel arteta having the coronavirus. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. we had plenty of showers yesterday with big, towering cumulonimbus clouds are spotted of the hampton area and there will be a few more showers coming our way over the next few hours as well thanks to a low pressure system working its way over. we have another one coming in late on friday and another one working injust in time late on friday and another one working in just in time for the weekend. so it stays pretty u nsettled. weekend. so it stays pretty unsettled. now, if you're out and about over the next few hours, yes, you may encounter showers. securely across northern areas in northern scotla nd across northern areas in northern scotland of those showers are

falling as snow across some of the hills. it's cold, so there could be icy stretches as we start friday morning. just keeping the prostate bay for many of us. into friday, these cold northerly winds will drag showers down the north sea those showers down the north sea those showers could be quite frequent, actually because it later in the day we will see rain move into wales in south—west england as the next low pressure approaches. in between these areas, light winds, sunny spells but, the winds will bust together coming in from the north sea and that will shovel the line of moisture together to create showers that will line up more or less from merseyside into the great southern area. along that sony could and great party for a time. quite a range in temperatures, highs between 5- 11 range in temperatures, highs between 5— 11 degrees. then we got rain coming to overnight and more rain working in in time for the weekend with a slow—moving weather front gradually putting is with across the country. so really this weekend at times, rain sums up the forecast and

it will be quite windy as well. saturday's for customer well, cloud and if you spots of rain putting across england and wales, a damp start to the days in scotland. it's because the next weather system is going to swamp it and bring more wet weather into northern ireland and western scotland by the end of the day and down because here was of northern england and wales. across the hills of northern england and wales the ranking be quite heavy and slow—moving through saturday night, still around on sunday, perhaps 50 millimetres or so, bringing a risk of further localised flooding. eventually the rain moves into south—east england, brightest guys follow but with some further showers being driven in on a brisk, north—westerly wind. that's your weather.
