make the decision. in this you make the decision. in this crisis, sports importance but clearly diminishes but it produces moments ofjoy like little wells. remember the last men's euros. removing the tournament will commit a huge financial cost, ticket refunds will come soon but even football ultimately it's just a small part of what is happening globally. national league side barnet have placed all non—playing staff on notice, in "emergency measures to preserve the club" amid the coronavirus pandemic. the move includes head coach darren currie who will remain in charge if the season resumes. in the last half an hour the us pga championship — the second major of the male golfing calendar has been postponed. the event was scheduled for mid may at harding park in san fra nscisco, the organising body said they hoped to move the event to later in the year. the second major of the tennis year — the french open — has been moved from its usual slot in the spring
10:46 pm
to later in the year. the tournament at roland garros was due to begin at the end of may but will now start in september. that's all from us. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anna mikhailova and lance price. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — and they all lead on coronavirus and the measures outlined by the chancellor today to help shore up the economy. on the front page of
10:47 pm
the times, rishi sunak, who unveiled the multi—billion—pound bailout to keep businesses and workers afloat through the crisis — which the paper says could last more than a year. the daily express calls it a '£330bn war chest to keep britain in business'. the guardian, though, claims the chancellor's spending vow was met with criticism for neglecting the low—paid. ‘this won't beat britain‘ — writes the daily mirror, saying the fight has been stepped up with emergency measures, including the cancellation of nhs operations. the financial times reports that an infection control experiment that was rolled out in a small italian community at the start of the crisis has stopped the spread of new diseases that town. and the daily telegraph pictures nazanin zaghariratcliffe, out of prison in iran but wearing an ankle tag — she's been temporarily released as part of measures to curb the country's outreak.
10:48 pm
let us turn to my guests and torched £50 billion bailout launched to save the economy, wartime government, virus package target firms, homeowners get mortgage breaks, this is what a lot of people wanted and in the eyes of many, the chancellor has delivered. more than we are estimating earlier, more than £1 billion with the measures and this is the biggest bailout package in the financial crisis and it delivers on several things that people are calling for and questions are still being raised on how on the detail. but ultimately, they been chancellor for a month and delivered a very
10:49 pm
confident announcement today and a lot of businesses will be feeling better after today i think. we have lost lance at the moment, but given that he says this is, he is going to make more announcements in the coming days about more details concerning the package, many are concerned, low—paid workers, members of the economy about a million people in this country, quite a sizeable part of the economy were not mentioned in the speech. there are several people who weren't mentioned or rather saying he will deliver measures soon but self—employed, people out of work, generally workers, workers businesses and he said more will be to come, the announcement focuses on businesses and it does go quite far
10:50 pm
to reassuring people who are generally becoming very concerned and businesses failing to support themselves and possibly heading towards ba nkru ptcy, themselves and possibly heading towards bankruptcy, i think that was very much the aim of what they did today and of course, people are still calling for more detail i would have been through employees, and what happens to renters. there we re and what happens to renters. there were details on support for mortgage borrowers in three months payment holidays would be available for anyone who is badly affected by coronavirus which is great for a lot of people but immediately, to a lot of people but immediately, to a lot of people but immediately, to a lot of people they ask, what about renters. notjust individuals but people who share a flat and one of them suddenly cannot pay, what does that mean for the other person? there should be flexibility that is built in and on that front, they will come up with something new for renters in the coming days and i
10:51 pm
think an interesting point here is we are going to be seeing a lot more of the chancellor and we are just now seeing daily conferences with the prime minister and one mpa spoke to today said prepare for effectively a weekly mini budget. yes, he's going out to be front and centre with all of this. we'll move onto the metro. i know you at home he may have got off to get a cup of tea. but it is good to have you back. on the front page of the metro it says we would do whatever it ta kes, it says we would do whatever it takes, a real sense that this government is on a war footing in dealing with the cyrus. —— virus. we have lost lance again and that is a real shame. anna, can have lost lance again and that is a realshame. anna, can i have lost lance again and that is a real shame. anna, can i come back to you then? there are so chilling overturns. and the message today was we will do anything to help the
10:52 pm
economy and it is something the economy and it is something the economy really does need right now. lets go into the daily express, it is the front pages, the war chest to keep written in business butjust beneath the banner there, don't go overseas nonurgent operations delayed in the real sense that the national health service is having to be prepared for what could be an ongoing crisis, not to something over the next week or three weeks or even months, but may be two to three orfour months heading into the weather for the summer. will have to think about the workers who have already been extremely stretched and are now already been extremely stretched and are now going working around the clock to keep us all safe, get us all better and new measures are going to be brought in for example giving the nhs workers a hotel room if one of their family member suddenly fall sick, all they've
10:53 pm
gotten. going into was taking evidence from several people reading this fight against the virus and this fight against the virus and this front—page headline on the front of the ft, italy's experiment to test in one town cuts new infections to zero. an interesting story. so, it is a part of italy where as soon as i think the first death happened, they started to insta ntly test death happened, they started to instantly test everyone in the town, people who are sick, people would come in contact and who had not. plaintive testing and it seems to have worked so in this one town where they carried out this heavy testing policy, they have actually reverse the spread of the virus because what they did was every time someone because what they did was every time someone got sick, they knew exactly who they came into contact with.
10:54 pm
will be testing more in the government should be testing more, ultimately, a lot of people are concerned when it comes down with symptoms, they cannot get a test and they do not know yet if theyjust had a flu or coronavirus and what does that mean when it comes to coming into contact with family. and i think that is something that's going to keep development. lance, are you there was blue i am here. we have about a minute left. but the kind of newspaper that you normally pa rta ke kind of newspaper that you normally partake in reading, every day with the orangejuice, partake in reading, every day with the orange juice, bulldog partake in reading, every day with the orangejuice, bulldog spirit, stick it up your virus, produce vows to beat the virus and donald trump since we are in a war and boris johnson is written a biography, is
10:55 pm
this is opportunity to rest of the mental? he certainly sees it that way and he said in terms in the news conference, to act like a wartime government, he says he has styled himself a bit like winston churchill in the past. i think there may be a... winston churchill met up in the wartime government but they found in the wartime that they like to state intervention, the elect extra money going into health and so on and he talked about it afterwards. anna, are you still with us? this page, do you think that this is the kind of model that mrjohnson is trying to reach for. he is the man who is leading us and he can get us out the other side. to be honest, those comparisons will be drawn obviously
10:56 pm
but i think a lot of people were in the government right now in the treasury are taking it day by day and just seeing this thing and forward so quickly into trying to handle the crisis. i also think members of the public are thinking, is this church hill like in one day will be passed by right now i think they care more about keeping each other safe. we are all in this together. anna, lance. we got through these problems. thank you so much forjoining us and we'll be backin much forjoining us and we'll be back in about 45 minutes. the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc dot co uk

this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11pm: deserted restaurants, empty bars — the chancellor promises £330 billion of support including government backed loans, and a business rate holiday for those hardest hit. empty streets too as millions of people follow downing street's instructions to work from home and avoid social contact. there'll be mortgage holidays too for those who need it. the coronavirus pandemic is a public health emergency, but it is also an economic emergency. we have never, in peacetime, faced an economic fight like this one. it's scary, you know? people in there... they don't know what to do. they've got mortgages.
