north of scotland and blowing in wintry showers. across the board, those temperatures will be lower, typically 7—9. we end up with an area of low pressure close to the weather front which will be anchored over biscay. we should see the wet weather move away during saturday and sunday and this high pressure moving close to the uk. rather than right over the uk, the centre is now probably going to be across scandinavia, so it's in a different place. the weather still looks quite similar, generally dry as we head through the weekend and beyond. temperatures not too bad, not quite as cold, but feeling a little bit chilly, because for many of us, it will be rather windy.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. 1a more patients who tested

positive for coronavirus have died, bringing the number of deaths in the uk to 35. the health secretary warns that measures to combat coronavirus will disrupt the lives of everybody — and older people and those with underlying health conditions will be asked to stay at home. the us federal reserve has cut interest rates for a second time in a fortnight to protect the us economy from the worst consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. british companies are urged to join a "national effort" to produce more ventilators and other medical equipment "at speed". huge queues today as supermarkets urge shoppers not to buy more than they need, saying there is enough for everyone if people are considerate. and in around 15 minutes, we'll answer some of your questions on the coronavirus outbreak.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the writer and broadcaster dawn foster, and the broadcaster and psychotherapist, lucy beresford. good to have you both here tonight. thank you for coming in. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. no prizes for guessing what's on the front of each and every one. let's start with the i, which outlines ways in which the government is likely to step up its response to the coronavirus outbreak. one of those measures calls for people over 70 to stay at home for four months. but not yet. the telegraph carries the same story, but says those over 70s who refuse to self—isolate face a hefty fine and a possible prison sentence. the paper also carries an image of shoppers with overflowing trollies at a superstore in watford. the metro focuses on the growing number of grassroots volunteer groups established to help those vulnerable and elderly people who may be preparing to self—isolate.

that's also the top story for the mirror which says charities such as age uk are leading the call the welfare of the elderly to be prioritised. the guardian leads on the content of a secret briefing given by public health england to senior nhs manages which claims the pandemic may hang on until next year, and cause nearly 8 million people in the uk to be hospitalised. the paper also carries an image of pope francis delivering his sunday blessing to a deserted st peter's square in the vatican. the ft casts its eye over the european countries closing their borders to tackle the pandemic. it features a striking picture of barcelona's empty catalu nya square. lots of those pictures to be chosen for all the front pages with so many countries in lockdown. let's start with the i, over 70s being asked to stay at home for four months. we are

not there yet, but it shows how people are buying all the things they regard as essential. absolutely, people are panicking, running to the supermarket to stock up running to the supermarket to stock up their homes in anticipation of suddenly being locked in for either the two weeks we think the incubation period might be, or possibly longer if you are more than 70 years old. i was in a supermarket earlier and luckily all the things i wa nted earlier and luckily all the things i wanted like a cat food and diet coke, coffee, it was fine. but i saw a lot of empty shelves. people were buying up pasta, toilet roll. red wine for some reason. we have to get through it somehow! some people will have fun. at the moment supermarkets are have fun. at the moment supermarkets a re really have fun. at the moment supermarkets are really struggling. also food banks are worried because normally people will drop off tinned goods and pasta, dried food. and the trussell trust have said they have seen a lower number of things being

donated, but there will also be a lot of people who can't afford to stockpile, who are on weekly budgets who are finding this impacts them, and then food banks themselves. and also the elderly, who cannot get up at the crack of dawn to be first in the queue. there were massive queues at some supermarkets. i think it was at some supermarkets. i think it was a branch of iceland in ireland who will open earlyjust for elderly people, that first couple of hours in the day will be dedicated for elderly people to get there, or may be one pensioner can go and buy some for a be one pensioner can go and buy some fora group, be one pensioner can go and buy some for a group, which is a kind idea. otherwise it will feel darwinian in the way people are hungrily going for whatever is on the shelf whether they need it or not. there is evidence it is not too darwinian at times and we will come onto that in a minute. we were looking at the financial times as well. in america the items people are choosing to stockpile and toilet roll is not on the list. not that nor any kind of

painkiller, which are the things if you go to a supermarket in the uk, those are the things you cannot find. what the americans seem to be buying is powdered milk. not sure what they will do with it. any old beams. chickpeas, black beans, whatever beans there are, people are stockpiling. lots of protein. and they last a long time, versatile, you can make soup, stew and burgers. we are told there is no need to stockpile, so there is enough for eve ryo ne stockpile, so there is enough for everyone to go around if you are just careful and take what you want. but some people do not heed that warning. something very primitive kicks in around fear. we are also quite group creatures so if we saw someone quite group creatures so if we saw someone piling on for a particular product we think, what do they know that i don't, i must get it for myself even though i don't need it.

i must buy cat food even though i am allergic to cats! that kind of a releva nt allergic to cats! that kind of a relevant purchasing power. the problem is, as in most things, at its core it's about people wanting to survive and they do the things will help them survive. toilet roll doesn't actively protect you against coronavirus. don't know if you knew that, but people want to buy it urgently. it reminds me of those scenes from black friday a few years ago, those frenzies. on the daily mail, the queen, the paper says she is unflappable and she will stay in london. there were suggestions she would stay at buckingham palace. the queen recognises people will look up to her and politicians. it's about senior authority figures trying to calm things and show life will go on as normal. so the queen in buckingham palace can clearly limit who she comes into contact with. there isn't any need for her to flee

so there isn't any need for her to flee soi there isn't any need for her to flee so i think in many ways it is her trying to be a role model, she will stay in london, she will not flee and leave her loyal subjects to die in this plague. it's very reminiscent of the blitz mentality where her mother said, we are not going to leave london, we will not hotfoot it to windsor. i want to be able to look the east end in the eye and say, i stayed here as well. she is doing a similar thing, she will not leave. she will be there, but we know a few days ago buckingham palace said that they took a relatively quick action and decided it wasn't appropriate for her to be ona it wasn't appropriate for her to be on a lot of engagements. but there will be not many people for her to meet. the photos alongside the headline in the daily mail, pulling alongside her for the elderly. so am i meant to pop round and make sure she is ok, i don't live far from her. i think she will be ok. that's

a shame. i was hoping she might need some extra powdered milk may be. wonder what you rustle up with that. we talk about the non—darwinian side, it's cool to be kind says the metro. an army of caring brits mobilised to help vulnerable neighbours. the over 70s are told they face staying on for around four months. this is alongside a picture of one of the victims of coronavirus that we have heard about today. we we re that we have heard about today. we were talking about a social network in germany that has sprung up really quickly and gone viral on social media, doing exactly the same sort of thing, bringing people together to look after everyone in their own community. i think it's really brilliant to look at the polar opposites. you have people stockpiling, thinking about themselves. but on the other side you have people pulling together and

thinking about their local community. there is a neighbourhood forum near me. usually it talks about dog mess, asking for people to recommend a plumber, but now it is full of messages asking, if you are self isolating, let me know and i will drop around some groceries on your doorstep. people are offering to go around and check on elderly relatives of those who do not live locally, so it's brilliant to see people thinking about how they can help their community rather than simply thinking about themselves and theirfamily. simply thinking about themselves and their family. it's very heartening. and we also have this warning that isolation might happen for a few weeks. there is time to prepare and people are running around. weeks. there is time to prepare and people are running aroundlj weeks. there is time to prepare and people are running around. i set up something called the kindness club about five years ago and we are getting cards printed so people can download them and print them out, so you can go to your neighbour's

letterboxes with your name and numberon, so you letterboxes with your name and number on, so you can letterboxes with your name and number on, so you can offer to buy groceries. people like to be kind that it gives you a great sense of achievement or a warm glow for doing something kind for someone else. it isa win—win, something kind for someone else. it is a win—win, it's notjust altruism. there is also the sense that the government have their own role and they have quite a lot on their plate but actually many of us can pull together, and take responsibility notjust can pull together, and take responsibility not just for ourselves but reaching out to fellow members of the community. i think there will be an interesting shift in society as a result of this. it's almost like we are seeing a correction in the stock markets and i think we will also see a correction in terms of emotional currency correction in terms of emotional currency within society. and it seems to have been people self starting. charities like age uk will be quite critical in coordinating this, but it is absolutely springing up this, but it is absolutely springing up from those facebook websites, and people dropping notes in and making sure everybody around them is ok.

one of the big complaints in urban areas in the country is people don't know the names of their neighbours. i have heard of people having conversations in supermarkets because people want to make those connections. this is probably going to help and hopefully as one of the lasting effects of this rather awful crisis. because it is a leveller. it will affect someone we know. you mention stocks, back to the financial times. thank god, blackrock and state street asset shrinkage spells the end of the golden era. that figure that has come off the value of these huge funds. —— vanguard. $2.8 trillion expected to be lost this year. and we are only in march. clearly there was shrinking happening anyway but coronavirus has accelerated it. it's difficult enough to imagine 8 billion let alone a trillion. i

spoke to a friend who works in finance and asked how it was going and she replied she had no idea why she was in work because all that is happening is everyone is running around swearing and didn't have a clue what to do. sounds like a newsroom on a busy day. it's incredible. there was a correction that was meant to happen in the markets this year, but i don't think anybody expected it to be this dramatic. people are likening it more to what happened after 9/11 rather than what happened in 2008 when there was a proper financial crash that was brought about by the financial industry, one might argue. so there is going to be a correction, but there will also be a recalibration. so it looks really dramatic and the numbers are absolutely massive, but there will be some winners out of this and stocks will find a flaw and then start to rise again. we have found a different story besides coronavirus!

the daily telegraph, helmets could be made law for e scooter riders. these have been used to get around cities in other parts of the world for quite awhile now. we are just up with it. but there is a lot that is of concern to people about these scooters. not least because they are not licensed. if there is an accident it's not like you can take down a accident it's not like you can take downa number accident it's not like you can take down a number plate and have some kind of redress. they are asking for people to make helmets compulsory for people who ride, drive, i'm not sure for people who ride, drive, i'm not sure what the verb is, but people who are hopefully in charge of them, put them on some kind of footing with perhaps cyclists who are now compelled, i think, with perhaps cyclists who are now compelled, ithink, to with perhaps cyclists who are now compelled, i think, to wear helmets. the other issue as they travel pretty fast and if one bumps into you you know it because it can cause a serious injury. it is quite peculiar because for quite awhile

you have been able to buy e scooters in lots of shops but you can only really use them on land. looking around cities, you see people using them on roads and pavements and clearly the government have decided to try and make this a little bit safer, so you can go on roads but you have to wear a helmet. the bigger issue is, when it comes to cyclists, it can be dangerous for cyclists, it can be dangerous for cyclists, but they can't go as fast. but with these scooters, they go extremely fast. all you need is for a couple of people to behave inappropriately and there are huge accidents. and trying to get people out of cars as well, it is a balancing act. that's it for the papers this hour. dawn and lucy were back at half past 11 for another look. and don't forget you can catch up look. and don't forget you can catch up on the website and on the

iplayer. next on bbc news, your questions answered. many questions coming into bbc news throughout the last few days about coronavirus in various forms. tonight we will answer some of those around symptoms and self—isolation. we have gp doctor philippa kay in north west london. so much interest and concern. we have around a dozen questions. we have the first question from daniel hutchence in northern ireland who is concerned about how young babies could be affected. she has a three—month—old baby at home and is wondering if she is at higher risk

for getting the virus. she has been coughing for over a week so any advice is appreciated. she doesn't have a fever though. children seem to be doing really well with this infection. they are getting it and they will get it, but they seem to have it really mildly or even as asymptomatic, no symptoms at all. they seem to be doing really well, which is reassuring. if it was three months ago and you were pregnant, there doesn't seem to be vertical transmission. it doesn't seem to be able to travel through the placenta to affect the baby so that is reassuring. it is not clear if you or the baby has the cough, if it is a new cough then the guidance is to self—isolate with your baby seven days. kevin robinson from grimsby says, once you have had and recovered from coronavirus, can you be infected a second time? we are not exactly sure of the answer to this.

we think not but there seem to be a few cases where people have tested positive twice. but in those situations it's not clear whether or not they cleared the virus in the first place. so we think you can't get it twice but we can't promise that at the moment. chris in redcar says, when the over 70s go into isolation, as we are being warned they might have to do for weeks if not months, will i be able to go out? chris is 63 but his partner is 81. it depends on the staging of quarantine essentially. it is likely it will be done in stages. at the moment we are saying if you have symptoms then you stay at home. it is likely the next stage would be if anybody in your household has symptoms then you would have to self quarantine for 11! days. if we are quarantining the elderly, you as somebody who is under 70 wouldn't have to, but you might

choose to decrease the risk to the person you are living with by isolating with them, because the point of the isolation is to try to protect them from the viral load in the community. if you are bringing that back home with you, then essentially we are not protecting them. that might not be enforceable but it might be something you would consider doing. liz is 57 and in south lanarkshire. she has just completed treatment for breast cancer. chemotherapy completed in early december, surgery in mid—december, and radiotherapy that ended a few days ago. she is a deputy head teacher in a local school. she has been on a phased return. obviously concerned about getting the virus in school and how her immune system would cope. i recommend she speak to her oncology team for advice on whether or not she should be

in a position where she can be at work or not. for people with cancer in general, if they are on active treatment and their immune systems are suppressed then they are more vulnerable. i would practice some social distancing and avoiding large gatherings, doing normal things about washing your hands. if you get a fever and you are somebody who is on cancer treatment, on chemotherapy, anybody on chemotherapy has to ring their oncology unit because they will be called in for a blood test, this is in a normal situation come to check they have white blood cells to fight infection. you will still need to do that, but your local cancer clinic should have a protocol where you can be put in a separate place so you would not potentially infect other people. but still follow your normal protocols if you are someone on cancer treatment. robin in sutton coldfield asks, what are the specific underlying health problems that are mentioned in connection with the coronavirus.

that is a good question. we do say those with underlying health issues but we don't say which. it's chronic health conditions, chronic heart disease, chronic neurological diseases, multiple sclerosis, parkinson's. chronic liver and kidney diseases and chronic respiratory diseases, things like copd or asthma that requires more than a blue inhaler. anything that is a chronic long—term condition can increase your vulnerability to the infection. martin in wellingborough asks if people in compromised health are being treated if they have the virus and how successful is it proving if they are? at the moment there is no treatment, no specific antiviral treatment available for covid—i9. the treatment out there if you need it is supportive treatment, things like oxygen, medication to open your airways. and if needs be, ventilating

you until your body recovers. i have seen a lot on social media about concerns for people where if they already have a condition, whether or not they would get that treatment. right now treatment is being offered to absolutely everybody that needs it. we have the capacity to do so right now. philippa in swindon says her husband has a cough and is self isolating. but she and their daughter do so too? if he is self isolating now, if he is in that seven days and it is possible not to sleep in the same bed then i recommend they do that. at the moment the guidance is that if somebody in your house is affected with symptoms like a fever or cough, then you do not have to quarantine yourself. i think that is likely to change

in the next few days or weeks and it's possible you will be advised to self quarantine for 11! days in case you develop the infection. at the moment that is not the advice so you can carry on but i recommend that you try to separate, and if it is possible where you live, that he is one room and sleeping in one room and you are not in the same room as him. theresa in sheffield says, will people still be able to go running if there is a lockdown? if there is a true lockdown, no. that essentially means you can't go to the park and you can't run in the streets and you would be leaving your house only for essential travel, so that might be to the supermarket, the pharmacy, or if you are in a profession that is considered essential like the health services. i know that is worrying for people who exercise for physical and mental health. there are a lot of workouts available on youtube and you might have another way around it. but we are not in lockdown yet. ruth in hertfordshire so she is a breast—feeding mother

with a six—week—old baby. what should she do if she gets the virus? the good news is that the evidence from china is that the virus does not transfer through breast milk. if you were to become unwell, actually some of the antibodies you are developing might be transferred through the breast milk to protect your baby. there is some evidence to suggest that if you have symptoms then that potentially if you were wearing a mask during feeding, that is an option, or you could express your milk and give it to someone to feed your baby. those are things to consider. but self isolation and isolating yourself are important but we understand entirely if you are a single mother with three children or you have a newborn baby, there has to be close contact. ruth does make the point that it is difficult to get hold of face masks so are there any good alternatives? for most people, they do not need to use a face mask. there is not evidence

they are helpful for most people. if you are a front line health worker then yes, you need to use protection because they are in a very different situation but for most people an ill fitting facemask is unhelpful because you end up touching your face more because you are fiddling with it all the time and they have to be changed very often. for most people, they do not need it. the kind of things we are seeing on the tube, they are not effective and you end up touching yourface a lot more. so i wouldn't recommend that at the moment. the other thing i have to say, my colleagues and a&e are saying that unfortunately supplies of like things like aprons, face masks, gloves and hand gel, that people are going into a&e units to take them. please don't do that. we have medical professionals on the front line and they need to be well to look after people. we need to take social responsibility about what works for us, and also protect other

people as well. finally, kumar in leeds asks, what are the symptoms of full—blown coronavirus. a fever of over 37.8 degrees. the most common symptom after that is a cough. it is actually really quite rare in coronavirus to get a stuffy nose and sneezing. you can also get aches and pains and tiredness, but generally the symptoms are fever and a cough. we have got through quite a few of them but there are still many more. we will have you back again, but for now, thank you for answering those questions and thank you to you forjoining us and sending those questions for this edition of your questions answered. some good news for tomorrow, we

expect a sunny day across the vast majority of the country. but it will be quite cold first thing in the morning. these are the temperatures at around 5am on monday, close to freezing if not below in a number of major cities and a good grass frost outside of town. a little cloudy first thing across the centre of the uk, plenty of sunshine from the word go until this comes along in the north—west of the uk. we expect rain eventually in belfast in the afternoon, probably turning wet in the of the afternoon and in glasgow. —— in the middle of the afternoon. tuesday's weather forecast with a bit more clout, not the sunny monday. by tuesday it will turn quite cloudy across some western areas and further rain expected in northern ireland and western scotland. temperature is pleasant, springlike, 13—15. by wednesday it

could be even one or 2 degrees higher.

this is bbc news i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00: 1a more patients who tested positive for coronavirus have died, bringing the number of deaths in the uk to 35. the health secretary warns that measures to combat coronavirus will disrupt the lives of everybody — and older people and those with underlying health conditions will be asked to stay at home. and in the past half hour, downing street has said the government will hold daily televised press conferences to update the public on the fight against the virus. also — the united states cuts interest rates to almost zero and launches a stimulus programme in a bid to protect the economy from the impact of coronavirus. british companies are urged to join a "national effort" to produce more ventilators and other medical equipment "at speed". huge queues today as supermarkets urge shoppers
