but lifting the back of my head, but they give us a date for the games, i'll be ready for that, if it's in two months‘ time i‘ll be ready for that, if it‘s in two months‘ time for three months‘ time years time, i‘ll be ready to go 100% and i can tell you now, the best in the world, across all sports, there will be the exact same, people complete with the best results. that‘s all the sport for now. next, it‘s the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcasterjohn stapleton and kate proctor, political correspondent at the guardian. many of tomorrow‘s front pages are already in. the daily mail looks at the prime minister‘s claim that
10:46 pm
coronavirus can be beaten within 12 weeks. as does the metro, which says borisjohnson is confident we can turn the tide if britons follow government advice. the times shows the queen as she left buckingham palace earlier for windsor reiterating her call for britain to be strong in the face of this crisis. the daily mirror too shows the queen adding — quoting her majesty with the headline ‘our history as been forged by people coming together.‘ the guardian‘s front page says trials for a coronavirus vaccine could begin next month. the financial times focusses on the chancellor‘s plans to help businesses as rishi sunak looks set to deliver a new rescue package to companies. and the independent shows a glimmer of hope — as medical workers in china embrace celebrating a day without any new cases of covid—i9. let us begin the papers are looking
10:47 pm
at latest developments and the daily express, that is where we will start, boris, we can turn the tide ini2 start, boris, we can turn the tide in 12 weeks and lots of questions about what that would actually mean, what would that look like. it is difficult to really elaborate at this point. if after a few days a press c0 nfe re nces this point. if after a few days a press conferences and very whirring information, i think the prime minister strike to strike an upbeat tone today with this message that yes, the tide can be turned in 12 weeks. what is basically saying is that if you stick to the government advice, social distancing and heat all those warnings the stay at home for seven days for 14 days if you are in the household, it is possible that you might be able to see a downward slope, i think that is the phrase that he used in the number of cases. there will only happen if thatis cases. there will only happen if that is in conjunction with scientific breakthroughs as well,
10:48 pm
which is a massive amount of testing and he talked about what we heard previously about 25,000 tests for the ideal number that is what he is working for the moment and he also throughout the figure of 250,000 tests, so from 25 50,000, there are huge ambitions on the front and also we heard today about a patient who is undergoing a very preliminary trial in a form of treatment for covid—i9. they‘re trying to push the science, trying to push the work that they are doing in the positive news. the daily mail saying that we can beat the virus in 12 weeks. but, there‘s also a concern that too many people are still socialising, particularly in parts of london where they did not seem to be observing the distancing that the government is advising. entrance to the prime minister, he said that perhaps we can turn the tide, —— in
10:49 pm
fairness. i did not think we can break the back of it and saying that we can wave goodbye or words to that effect, i have to say according to his advisers and the chief medical officer, they were rather more circumspect in their view of what we might achieve. i hope i am wrong and i hope that as you pointed out, the prime minister said we can only do this if everyone pulls their own weight and complied with the guidance is being offered and they are not doing that, particularly in parts of london, as we have seen from the pictures on the news tonight, people are still going out in considerable numbers to restaurants and bars, meeting each other and restaurants and bars, meeting each otherandl restaurants and bars, meeting each other and i presume restaurants and bars, meeting each otherand i presume it is predominantly younger people are people younger than myself and i suppose you that they are not likely to get this, but as we heard from erica, young people can be affected and quite seriously too. so they should keep the prime minister's
10:50 pm
morning. we've also got these pictures in the headlines stripped bare by locusts, people still going out and buying far more from the supermarkets that they could possibly need. and the government is being very clear that in particular that it being very clear that in particular thatitis being very clear that in particular that it is not eminently about to go into a locked on situation and that there may be further restrictions and that there may be no restrictions on travel, mainly those m essa 9 es restrictions on travel, mainly those messages can get through with the panic buying does not need to happen, it does not need to happen at all, it doesn‘t have to happen to the crazy skill that we‘ve been seeing and things are not about to run out, there are supply chains in the country that can fulfil the food demand if people shop in a more sensitive way. and nhs workers, people that have been working all through the night and all they need to do is pick up some food to go home and cook in the go to sleep and you‘re denying people of that food is really crucial times and i think that it is really crucial times and i think thatitis is really crucial times and i think that it is quite shameful. i think this pictures in the mirror are quite stark. other supermarkets or
10:51 pm
perhaps pick up on one or two of the most studied sessions for people of my generation, just people of my generation, first thing in the morning, only people of a certain age can going supermarket and did a limited amount, but can get more that's what they want and i think that's what they want and i think thatis that's what they want and i think that is a very good idea. the thing that is a very good idea. the thing that i am taking away from this press conferences not just of the prime minister said what he did not say, but he did not say is what is going to happen about schools, he did not indicate which pupils will be allowed back, which workers would be allowed back, which workers would be regarded as essential workers to ensure that tonight, their head teachers all of the country scratching their heads wondering how many people they're going to have to look after and how many parents wondering if i am an essential worker and will i be allowed to send my child to school, will he have to stay at home because let us not forget that a lot of people cannot do theirjobs at home. cleaners cannot do theirjobs at home,
10:52 pm
shoppers assistance cannot do their jobs and home we got absolutely nothing on that and the prime minister today and something will happen tomorrow and this is got to be sorted out by monday, so it is a very busy week and for teachers and a rather whirring one for a lot of parents. how do you get the qualifications to children that are not able to get their exams. art history has been forged by us coming together this message from the queen and prince philip is now in isolation at windsor castle, there have been some questions aboutjust brieflyjohn, but we haven‘t heard from the queen and that we have. and iwe from the queen and that we have. and i we have, watching the crown as i'm sure many people have as well, instances where the queen was perhaps encouraged to make a statement and didn't interpret some cases it was too late. this is an inspirational statement and have to say that it paid due tribute to the
10:53 pm
service workers, scientists and medics and everyone on the front line of this crisis and i think it is very important to acknowledge that massive contribution and will owe her a great debt and it invokes history and says he has, in the past we have overcome these things by coming together we have to come together, we have to play, notjust by the rules by the guidelines given and won accompanying thing is that hopefully at the end of all this, communities that have come together, have helped each other will continue to do so in the future might emerge from this is a more generous society. the financialtimes, from this is a more generous society. the financial times, just looking at that quickly, if you would. we are waiting to hear the chancellor is going to put forward to help businesses and then hopefully that they will be able to help their employees. there is so much anxiety about what is this announcement of what it will mean. the government is got the message loud and clear, but that has not
10:54 pm
stopped people from losing their jobs earlier this week and people have been sacked and people up and asked to take unpaid leave and there needs to be some kind of instant crisis wage that the borough and organisations has been calling for that, labour opposition and candidates for leadership and cure starmer, they have been talking about an income that needs to go into peoples pockets straightaway in the statement this afternoon, quite flimsy, will back businesses and in turn, businesses need to back their employers and their employees, but i do not think that is good enough. we really would urge you not to let your staff go, that is not enough and he needs to be about either putting money in peoples pockets are really doubling an increasing even at statutory sick pay, we have to see what the chances are. every time you have these press conferences, it
10:55 pm
elicits more questions. finally, from the national papers, the national, the independent, so that we no longer printed newspaper but asa we no longer printed newspaper but as a front page for us and maybe this is what turning the tide might look like if china, china feels that they can actually embrace because they can actually embrace because they have reached that milestone of not having a new case of covid—i9 today. and the message that we can turn the tide, the headlines are being optimistic and that a shaft of light at last and it's only a shaft of light. and there may be more deaths of reported in china in the near future but for the time being, it looks as if they're being more optimistic than they do 24 hours ago. just before we go this time, i wa nt to ago. just before we go this time, i want to show you this collection of pages in the regional newspaper, if
10:56 pm
i may. the local papers across the country are due to publish the same front page in support of their readers, i am front page in support of their readers, iam hoping front page in support of their readers, i am hoping we can show this to you. in both cases, we started our careers in the newspaper and we are great supporters of this and we are great supporters of this and we are great supporters of this and we hope it does some good and i hope some people at home get the message and we hope people actually buy some of those newspapers because as you all know newspapers of had a pretty rough time of late and we would encourage more people to buy papers and the spirit behind that is supported and i'm sure many people as well. when you're on your own, we are there with you. that is it for the papers at this hour. he managed not to talk over each other too much but do not go too far to bed yet, we need you back and half past 11 for another look at the papers. thank you very much.
