and a greater risk of seeing cloud and outbreaks of rain here. would that change in the position of high—pressure, we lose a chilly easterly breeze, and temperatures, as you can see, begin to edge up. it does look as if next week, for a time, the weather finally sings from the same spring song sheet.

hello. this is bbc news with clive myrie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines: deserted restaurants, empty bars — the chancellor promises £330 billion of support including government backed loans, and a business rate holiday for those hardest hit. as millions of britons stay at home for what could now be months, there's a mortgage payment holidays for those who are struggling.

all non—essential surgery is cancelled in england untiljune to free up 30,000 beds. the foreign office tells britons they shouldn't travel abroad now unless absolutely necessary. —— foreign office. schools and nurseries remain open — the prime minister said he was keeping it under continuous review. 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. anna is the deputy political editor at the telegraph and former deputy director of communications, lance price. lance, we had technology

problems with you earlier, i apologise, but hopefully you will be with us for this full edition of the papers. good to you both. —— good to see you both. 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. 0n the front page of 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 £330 billion 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.

—— in that town. and the daily telegraph pictures nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, 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. 0k, we're going to start with you, lance, the times. £350 billion bailout launched to save the british economy, wartime government plan, virus package targets firms. sounds like a lot and it certainly is. do you think it can do the trick? it's a huge amount of money, some of it will help homeowners, although nothing yet announced for those renting rather than paying their mortgage, and very important support for businesses and small businesses in particular. the sums involved are ion in particular. the sums involved are i0n in. in particular. the sums involved are ion in. of in particular. the sums involved are i0n in. of course they are loans and guarantees, so it doesn't mean all

of this money will come out of the public coffers —— eye watering. there are still gaps so we expect further announcements in the days ahead, specific announcements perhaps on renters, from the airline industry and some of the other specific parts of the economy but given the fact mr sunak has only been chancellor for a matter of days, couple of weeks really, another very surefooted formance from him. anna, he's going to be front and centre of this pandemic, isn't he? because the economic effects of what's happening could have long lasting effects on the future of this country? absolutely. we should all get used to seeing a lot more of rishi sunak, and i think if to day's appearance is anything to go by, he has done very well today in reassuring businesses and are delivering a package that is greater than what was expected. in

some ways it still falls short of what some other european countries have done. emmanuel macron has literally said he will guarantee no business will go bankrupt. we haven't done anything like that. i think it has already been pointed out, there are still gaps. there's nothing for renters, there isn't much for people who lose work or find themselves out of work or who are self—employed. there's the airline package the airline industry has been calling for that isn't there, but today the real message was this is about business and sending a signal that the government will do everything to try and support businesses through weeks or maybe even months of crisis, and those businesses will not be allowed to suffer in the way they really began to fear recently. that will have repercussions for everyone. the

big problem we were starting to get in the last few days is people who i’ui'i in the last few days is people who run small businesses were really starting to think, "do i have to starting to think, "do i have to start laying people off? will i be able to meet my bills?" people have to make those decisions now, so that's why the treasury really had to act fast for businesses. indeed. the metro, lance. making it clear that the chancellor and the prime minister see this as a battle that could go on for some time. yes. effectively they're putting the government and the country on what they describe as a wartime footing. extraordinary measures for peacetime, never seen before in peace in this country, and of course having gone that far, these measures are going to have to be seen to be successful and if they for short in anyway, then it will be a heavy political price for the

government to pay. —— any way. they will inevitably face criticism and they have been facing criticism from they have been facing criticism from the labour party already and sir keir starmer has written a piece in the guardian, he's certainly well—placed to be the next labour party leader, saying really the government isn't being transparent about the figures behind the calculations that have led to all of this. i think the international comparisons are quite important. president macron saying no business would suffer and go out of business asa would suffer and go out of business as a result of this crisis. the thing about what rishi sunak has announced today is that it has that extra element of credibility. i'm not sure people really believe president macron can necessarily deliver on that, and there is a question, let's be honest, about whether every business deserves to survive the crisis. thinking of the

airline industry in particular. many would argue there are too many airlines in europe and if as a result of this there are fewer, in the long—term... result of this there are fewer, in the long—term. .. it result of this there are fewer, in the long—term... it sounds a brutal thing to say but in the long—term it maybe good for the economies. let's go on to the daily express, anna. the front—page: just beneath the mast there, uk death toll hits 71, don't go overseas, nonurgent ops delayed. rishi sunak‘s prescription for dealing with the economic fallout from this virus obviously going hand—in—hand with the health implications and what the government is trying to do to make the nhs fit for purpose in dealing with all of this? yes, and the big question now is what lies in store for the nhs. there's been the big drive already to get companies to rally and start developing ventilators for the nhs.

we are still far short of what we need and for every hospital and ambulance to have one. of course we have all got to think about the doctors, nurses, hospitalworkers who are going to put in very long hours trying to keep everyone healthy and safe and putting their owi'i healthy and safe and putting their own health at risk. some measures have already been announced today that doctors and nurses will get a hotel room if one of their family members becomes sick because obviously all the issues that affect us obviously all the issues that affect us in terms of having to self—isolate and us in terms of having to self— isolate and be us in terms of having to self—isolate and be careful and avoid contact and try not to spread the virus, it all applies to them as well. it hits them and applies to them doubly right now. lance, we know the ministry of defence will try to put forward some of its facilities in terms of beds

and hospital care and so on and so forth. there's a suggestion tonight, certainly from shadow chancellor john mcdonnell, that perhaps a private beds in hospitals should be requisitioned. should the government be going that far? i do, i think the government should look at any bed anywhere that could be brought into use, whether that is beds in private hospitals that frankly should be made available to the health service and shouldn't be... i don't even think the health service should be charged anything significant for the use of those beds. there's lots of empty hotel rooms that could be used. the real issue is notjust the bed space, it's also the staff. the enormous strain the staff are under and whether or not they are going to be able to maintain the level of support that's needed throughout what could be a long health crisis soon, and the government announcement today suggested it could last anything up to a year. there are stresses and strains of

course on the fabric of the nhs and the facilities of the nhs, but the real stresses and strains are on all of the staff and, including, let's face it, staff doing some of the more, let's say, without being derogatory, some of the more mundane jobs that the government was suggesting a little bit of a time ago that were somehow unskilled jobs. they're not unskilled jobs, they're absolutely critical jobs. 0ne they're absolutely critical jobs. one of the fantastic sights we saw tonight in france was everybody coming out onto their balconies and applauding the health service for the work they're doing and in britain we are all applauding inside as well. absolutely. front page of the financial times, anna, italy's experiment to test, test a test in one town cuts new infections 20. what's going on? a town in italy where from the very first time someone died in italy they decided to start testing everyone —— to

zero. notjust someone who became sick and came into contact with people, but the whole town, healthy people, but the whole town, healthy people, and it appears to have worked in that the spread of the virus has been reversed. this will start to put pressure on people and on the government to roll out more widespread testing because there are cases where people for sick and they effectively probably have coronavirus but they can't even get a test. it means they don't know whether they should come into contact with their elderly family, should they isolate for longer? it has a big knock—on effect if you don't even know. the argument against mass testing should also be considered. sometimes if somebody doesn't come up like they have the virus, they could perhaps become complacent a bit. in addition, they haven't yet proved having it means

you are immune. again, ithink the social distancing, being careful about who you see and what you do, where you work, washing your hands again is probably better advice. i wa nt again is probably better advice. i want to come back to something said earlier about businesses. 0k. want to come back to something said earlier about businesses. ok. i thought it was a really interesting point but i would really argue against it because this isn't like the banking crisis where there are certain banks who had terrible liquidity problems and absolutely should have gone bust, this is businesses which, you know, for the most part would have been healthy, they're coming across problems like their insurance are saying we're not going to cover you even though they thought they would be covered for loss of trading. these are huge completely unprecedented global problems, and i really don't think... the approach of what macron is saying and what our chancellor has today signalled towards is

businesses should absolutely be protected as much as possible. and also the last thing you want is businesses thinking they might go out of business, because that massively affects confidence. lance? i was going to come in on the testing point, testing is critical. 0ne testing point, testing is critical. one of the interesting things that came out of this testing experiment in italy half of the people that came up positive had no symptoms at all. a lot of us may have no symptoms whatsoever, we think we are 0k and healthy and therefore perhaps are having some limited contact with family members or whatever, but we're still carrying the virus and the only way to get the answer for thatis the only way to get the answer for that is to test as many people as humanly possible. the other issue is the ridiculous situation where there is frontline doctors and nurses sent home because they have a cough, but

they're not home because they have a cough, but they‘ re not tested home because they have a cough, but they're not tested and therefore they're not tested and therefore they don't know when it is for them to go back to work and even if it is necessary for them to be taken away from the frontline in the first place. the world health organization says test, test, test and i'm sure they're right says test, test, test and i'm sure they‘ re right about says test, test, test and i'm sure they're right about that. critical. look at that picture on the front page of the daily telegraph: nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe smiling. and showers not behind metal bars in some tehrani jail. she has been released temporarily, anna, because of the possibility of the spread of the coronavirus in that prison where she is —— has been held in tehran. yes, she has been released for two weeks. she has to wear an ankle bracelet and cannot stray far from her parents‘ house. but a lot of people look at this photo and think this is one rare bit of good cheer that has come out of coronavirus, because it is ultimately because of the capacity issues in uranian

jails. however, just a caution, she has been temporarily released before, which did not help her case, particularly. so, let's help this lasts and let's hope she is out for good. yeah, i mean, lance, this clearly is not because she has been released before, necessarily, the precursor to a more permanent release. but it is some kind of sunlight, i suppose, release. but it is some kind of sunlight, isuppose, in release. but it is some kind of sunlight, i suppose, in this horrible coronavirus darkness. yes, it is wonderful to see her smiling. we have been hearing from her husband over the past months and yea rs husband over the past months and years the terrible, terrible stress she has been under. behind that smile, iam she has been under. behind that smile, i am sure there is an awful lot of stress still there at the prospect of having to go back into jail. and we know that the background to all this is that the government ‘s in tehran and london have been haggling over an

outstanding debt, as the iranians see it, of some £400 million, and they are still arguing over the interest payments even though britain has agreed to pay this substantive date. all that is still hanging over her and her husband. so although this is good news, we have to remind ourselves that that family is not out of it yet. 0k, finally, the daily star. bulldog spirit, stick it up your virus. a big shot of winston churchill with his trademark homburg, i think it is, and two fingers up. defiant brits in lockdown vow that we will beat the bug. a real sense we are at war, that this is a battle but could go on for awhile. and of course we know that boris johnson on for awhile. and of course we know that borisjohnson is a famous of winston churchill. he wrote a biography of him. the paper there trying to foster a bulldog spirit among all of us in dealing with this horrible virus. yes, absolutely. i

am sure boris johnson horrible virus. yes, absolutely. i am sure borisjohnson like that front page, but the more important thing is that there is increasingly, and needs to be more the spirit of rallying together, working together, and trying to get through this is a country. lance, do you think he can live up to this? well, i think he certainly plans to. he has identified himself with churchill in the past and i think that i think it isa the past and i think that i think it is a worrying sign, actually, for the rest of us. he likes to actually sort of play up—to—date image. i think it is a worry for him as well, because churchill was a very great war leader and all of the resources of the nation were thrown at winning that walk in the second world war, and boris johnson is that walk in the second world war, and borisjohnson is talking on the same terms about dropping all the resources of the country and tackling the virus and the crisis that we all face now. what boris johnson needs to remember is that at the end of the war, winston churchill was out on his ear, and

actually, the people of this country actually, the people of this country actually rather liked the idea of an interventionist state, they liked the idea of the government using the powers that it has two control aspects of the economy, and in fact they went for socialism after the warand it they went for socialism after the war and it may just they went for socialism after the war and it mayjust be that boris johnson discovers that he is more like winston churchill than he might choose to be at the moment. all right, we're going to it there. it is good to see you both. thank you very much indeed forjoining us on the papers, even though you are so close and yet so far. 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 evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you again to lance and anna, and to you for watching. goodbye.

hello, this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. as coronavirus continues to impact sport worldwide, we'll bring you the very latest. euro 2020 has been postponed by one year because of the pandemic. european football plasma governing body made the decision during an emergency conference tuesday. joe wilson has more. wembley reality. football for now was empty. sport has stopped. so this stage prepares for euro 2021, one of the biggest sporting events in the world postponed for a year. uefa's concept was a new style of tournament. the euros would joyfully hop across the continent, 12 cities as hosts, dublin to st petersburg. but imagine that happening injune, as europe right now closes down?

impossible. we knew we had to stop the competitions. we think that postponing the euros is the only chance to get a chance to the national leagues and the club competition to finish the competition. in other words, there is now a window of opportunity. june could be a time when domestic leagues could try to resume and fulfil their fixtures, and clubs would welcome that. but let's be clear, there are consequences, knock—on effects of moving the euros, because next summer there is already so much football scheduled, as already, a euro 2021 for women's football, with matches staged in england. the women's euro is very, very important to us and we will have those conversations with uefa. they could be a scenario where it goes slightly later in the summer or is moved 12 months, and we will evaluate both of those with uefa before they make their decision. evaluate both of those with uefa before they make their decisionm this crisis, sports importance clearly diminishes, but it can

produce moments ofjoy like little else. remember the last men's euros? uefa state moving the tournament will come at a huge financial cost. details of ticket refunds will come soon. but even football, ultimately, it's just a small part of what is happening globally. joe wilson, bbc news, wembley. more begin and some being postponed, cancelled or rescheduled. staying with football, comedy coper america has also been postponed until next year. —— the copa america. the 12 tea m year. —— the copa america. the 12 team tournament, which was due to ta ke team tournament, which was due to take place in june team tournament, which was due to take place injune and july in colombia and argentina, has been pushed back until 2021. 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 francisco. the organising body says they hope to move the until later in they hope to move the until later in the year. the first major of the season, the masters, was off last week. and the second major of the

tennis year, the french open, has been moved from its usual slot in the spring two september. the tournament at roland garros was due tournament at roland garros was due to begin in late may but will now start in the autumn. the first three diamond league athletics meetings of the season have been postponed. it is hoped that the meats in doha and china in april and may will be able to reschedule later in the season. —— meets. two of the monuments of the cycling calendar has been postponed. the one day races were due to be held in the middle of april, but has been cancelled. a new date is yet to be confirmed. and away from new zealand cancellations and postponements, there is one big piece of news from the nfl, where tom brady has announced his departure from the new england patriots. he owns a glittering 20 year career with the team which saw him become the most successful quarterback in nfl history. brady confirmed his departure in a series of posts on social media, but with

no clue as to where he will play next season. and that is all the sport from us for now. hello, we have got some real contrast in terms of the temperature north and south across the british isles in the next day or so. england and wales on wednesday, we keep the cloudy and mild steam to things, but some outbreaks of rain, rather grey conditions there. for scotland and northern ireland, clear skies, a cold start with some frost and the risk of patchy ice. a little bit of sunshine and showers on wednesday. so the dividing line between those weather types is this what a frontier. it is going to be slowly sinking its way south. to this out of that we keep a fair amount of cloud across england and wales. rain initially for north wales and northern england will slowly sink south, but becoming fairly light and patchy as moves into the midlands and the south—west of england into the afternoon. to the north of that, after a cold and frosty start with the odd icy patch around, see lots of sunshine developing across scotla nd of sunshine developing across scotland and northern ireland. some wintry showers working in from the north—west. blustery winds likely as

well, with temperatures about 8—10 in the north but 11—13 further south. now heading through wednesday night and overnight into thursday. we still have this fairly stubborn, slow—moving but relatively weak weather front, which is slow—moving but relatively weak weatherfront, which is dividing this mild error across southern england, from the much colder air, the blue colours that you can see across the rest of the uk, with a northerly breeze coming in. most of us will see some blue sky and sunshine, still if few wintry showers across the north—west of scotland, and anywhere north of the m4, into south wales as well, we will see a bit of cloud, milder conditions, but some patchy outbreaks of rain, especially towards the south—west of england. temperature around nine or ten, but most of us typically about 7— 10 degrees on thursday. then we have still got that weather front, it looks like it could linger into the end of the working week. a big area of high pressure builds as we move into friday. for much of the uk, lighter winds, lots of dry weather with some sunshine, but a bit of uncertainty about how far north any of that rain will get on friday. we

are likely to see what weather for the channel isles and the far south—west of england as well. most other places were dry with variable amounts of cloud. a cool breeze coming in off the north sea keeping temperatures in the east in single figures, but we could see 10 degrees or so figures, but we could see 10 degrees orso in the figures, but we could see 10 degrees or so in the warmer spots in any sunny spells on friday. looking further ahead, still a fish i was around on saturday, especially for scotland, northern ireland and wales. sunny conditions and drier weather more widely from sunday onwards.

welcome to newsday. i'm kasia madera in london. the headlines: a $1 trillion against coronavirus. the us says it is planning a big and bold stimulus package, as the economy falls victim to the outbreak. with this invisible enemy, we don't want airlines going out of business. we don't want people losing theirjobs on not having money to live, when they we re having money to live, when they were doing very well, because— four weeks ago. in a parallel move, the uk announces unprecedented measures to protect british businesses from the pain of the pandemic. 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. i'm mariko 0i in singapore. also in the programme: malaysia becomes the latest country to impose a travel ban,
