hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. the prime minister warns of tougher measures if social distancing advice isn't followed — he says people who are acting irresponsibly — are putting lives at risk. we will keep the implementation of these measures under constant review and yes, of course, we will bring forward further measures if we think thatis forward further measures if we think that is necessary. nhs england writes to 1.5 million of the most high risk people, who are told to not leave home for 12 weeks — to shield them from the coronavirus. spain's state of emergency has been extended for another two weeks — while in italy the death toll from the virus has risen again. germany bans gatherings of more than two people —

in order to try and control the spread of coronavirus. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. this evening we are at home via webcam. joining me on webcam are the parliamentaryjournalist, tony grew and the journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro says "this is not a game" — and insists people are risking others' live by failing to social distance themselves. the daily mirror calls it "madness" — as it focuses on an 18—year—old becoming the uk's youngest victim. it also quotes a frontline doctor describing nhs workers as "lambs to the slaughter" if they don't get help from the public. the ‘i' also reports

on borisjohnson urging britons to stop flouting guidelines on social distancing — after large crowds gathered at beaches and parks over the weekend. the guaridan describes how the government's attempts to encourage social distancing are being ignored, after a weekend of mounting alarm. the daily telegraph say the uk is on the brink — warning britain potentially faces a total lockdown within 2a hours. the sun also has boris johnson's warning — as the death toll in the uk rises to 281. the daily express reports military bosses are organising a massive operation to deliver food and medicine to the doorsteps of one and a half million people — judged most vulnerable to the coronavirus outbreak. (ani)and the financial times has spain calling on eu finance ministers to draw up a "marshall plan" to help europe's economy recover from the devastating effects of the pandemic.

we will start with the metro. health workers, medics, in hazmat suits, carrying a stretcher of a coronavirus patient. it is not a game, it says. yet people are still failing to heed what at the moment is advice and it might soon become something stronger than that. yes, at the moment still hearing very strong advice being given to us by the government clearly now this is being paired with quite dramatic and very frightening images of more and more people succumbing to the virus. we have heard reports from nhs frontline workers, we have heard reports from italy who are reportedly two weeks ahead of us and clearly those messages still are not landing with quite a significant portion of the public and we should add it doesn't need to be that large because of this virulent, the way

this virus can spread. it only takes a few people to defy those guidelines the whole chain to go horribly wrong yes, perhaps these images will do thejob horribly wrong yes, perhaps these images will do the job that all those words so far from the government have failed to do which is really convinced just about everybody that they need to stay in to be part of the solution. why has the message not been stronger given that we know from the italian experience that a lockdown is probably the only thing that is going to really stop the spread?” think the prime minister is relu cta nt think the prime minister is reluctant to do it and they maybe scientific reasons, he may be being advised. my instinct is he wants to be liked and it is a very dangerous thing for a prime minister at a time like this. one of the other things that really strikes me is the lack of concerted public information campaign. during the hiv crisis in 1986, they were adverts in the cinemas and on the bbc. if you don't

protect yourself when you are having sex, you protect yourself when you are having sex, you are protect yourself when you are having sex, you are going to die. the problem with this is we have had a sort of health approach from the prime minister. today he didn't condemn people that are ignoring social distancing rules. so i think we need a lot more of a robust and frankly a lot more of the blunt response from the government when it speaks to the country. response from the government when it speaks to the countrylj response from the government when it speaks to the country. i wonder whether we need to hear a little bit more about this idea of the viral load. that the more people that you mix with who might be shedding the virus but not be symptomatic, the worse the case of the coronavirus you are likely to suffer. that doesn't seem to have been impressed upon as yet but i wonder whether it well. tony has touched on something which is perhaps the person, and i am not blaming him because boris johnson's personality so far has done him a lot of good in terms of kneeling with brexit, getting something done. now he is trying to

impress upon us, getting something undone. —— dealing with brexit. we need clear cartoons. the same thing used to get peppered out until children could recite the five ways of prison —— preventing skin cancer. you need something simple. it is kind of coming together in the last 24 kind of coming together in the last 2a hours where the government are using simple messages, protect the nhs, stay home, stay last was not we need bang, bang, bang. something we can hang coats on. at least we can stick to some single or 2—pronged guideline that will hopefully mean the difference between life and death for enormous numbers of people. a couple of the front pages are going with a similar idea but a different way. first the guardian. tonyjohnson‘s ultimatum. obey the rules or have a strict lockdown for the butt is a plainer message. rules or have a strict lockdown for the butt is a plainer messagem rules or have a strict lockdown for the butt is a plainer message. it is i'io the butt is a plainer message. it is no surprise to me that newspapers are able to nail it down to a simple

headline that people can understand was that we need to see a lot more of that from the government. part of the people —— part of the reason people are not taking it seriously as people are not understanding the science of the risk that they face. most importantly, they don't understand that if they continue to flout the rules, they will die. it might be helpful if the prime minister at his press conference was not standing less than six feet from the people he is with. simple things like that can help disseminate the message but we need people to take it seriously and i think the government needs to stop using phrases like advice. people don't listen to advice, this is the point. you need to make it clear to people that if they don't start socially isolating themselves and socially distancing themselves that many more people are going to die and they won't be responsible for the deaths, the people that don't follow the rules. what might be coming down the track is the headline on the times. cu rfew to track is the headline on the times. curfew to stop virus. there we see the picture, two boys talking to their grandparents through a window

so their grandparents through a window so they get to see each other but there is absolutely no contact whatsoever. you only have to point out the risks of that glass not being between those two generations for everybody to be perfectly happy with that situation. nobody is saying this is something that comes along and sticks with us forever. this is an unprecedented emergency and we have to treat it seriously. if there is a curfew, though, they could be sanctions easily, couldn't they? you break this and there could be consequences. this is part of the problem with the prime minster's approach. further measures, what does that mean? need to stand and say to people, if you do not start to socially distance yourself from people you will be locked in your house and if you try to leave the police will arrest you. there is an unreality about the situation stop either way, ijust unreality about the situation stop either way, i just wanted unreality about the situation stop either way, ijust wanted to say, the vast majority of the people in the vast majority of the people in the country are following the rules and advice, as the prime minister calls it, they are trying their best so there is a minority of people who

don't take it seriously at and believe me, four weeks or eight weeks from now, they will be taking it seriously because the situation will be critical and in some instances fatal. on the daily express comments as the military to provide lifeline by one —— for 1.5 million people. these are people that need to be shielded from the coronavirus because of their existing health conditions. this is a situation where the language is not vague and i think they will be benefited from this. they are being shielded to tuck themselves away, this is binary, this is not open to interpretation. those people who will get a letter from their gp or nhs provider and then if they don't have the family network and resources they need, they will be filled in by military, possibly, if not, community networks. hampers will be delivered. they will be a process. it is quite impressive, i think, that if they do —— once they

do make their minds up about a strategy, i have no doubt it will be wheeled out in the next 24—48 hours and people will really feel the difference and that is a good news aspect of today. and it does put in sharp contrast all of this other vague stuff we have been hearing too much about. tony, the mobilisation of armed forces on this scale in peacetime is extraordinary. of armed forces on this scale in peacetime is extraordinarym of armed forces on this scale in peacetime is extraordinary. it is unprecedented and the scale on which things are moving is unprecedented. politics in my life blood has taken a back seat and the government needs to support people. rishi sunak put it well last week. the easy bit, there are thousands of civil servants in the background scrambling to get these packages together. trying to work out how it is going to work but the idea that the government will now effectively guarantee food and medicine for1 million people is unprecedented and i think the consensus that we have

lived in since 1997, i think the consensus that we have lived in since1997, since tony blair was prime minister. the idea that we don't want to raise income taxes, the idea that we can continue to cut local councils and the nhs, that has gone forever. it will be interesting to see what we end up at the other end of this. it makes us reassess our priorities, doesn't it? the financial times, there is a photograph of a temporary hospital that has been set up in the exhibition centre in madrid to cope, to ta ke exhibition centre in madrid to cope, to take patients if the hospitals can't cope. meanwhile tony spain call it for a new marshall plan to try to drive a recovery but we are a long way from that. absolutely and what we have seen in the european union is putting up orders that didn't exist before and there hasn't been enough of the communitarian aspect of the eu that i would have expected to see at this point that shows the scale, that this isn't

just an english problem or a british problem, this is the world economy, going to take a massive hit from this. and by the way, that photograph on the front page of the ft. photograph on the front page of the ft,i photograph on the front page of the ft, i think, photograph on the front page of the ft, ithink, is photograph on the front page of the ft, i think, is one of the most compelling of all of the images because that will be britain in 4— eight weeks. that will be the nec. the nhs is going to have to massively expand its —— expand itself. we're already seeing been taken over. exactly. we are waiting to find out what is happening to the tokyo olympics. facing postponement of up to two years, just briefly. i'm sure this is a huge disaster for many, i'm sure this is a huge disaster for any i'm sure this is a huge disaster for many, many athletes and officials, however, it is one of the final dominoes default. there is talk of delaying it up to two years. interestingly, the japanese authorities are desperate to cling onto it, they have spent so much

money and they know that virus cases are slightly improving. however, that isn't taking into account the huge numbers of other people coming from all over the world. it seems so surprising that they are waiting and waiting and waiting, tony. politics, the olympics is about politics and money so it doesn't surprise me. how do you expect athletes to train when they might have to be in self isolation? the whole idea of holding the olympics to be at this stage seems ridiculous but the euros have been cancelled, eurovision, by the time that we get there, it has been and anticipated that at the very best scenario, the world will be recovering from a huge pandemic sol don't think the olympics are going to happen this year. not that long ago, we thought maybe these assessments were a bit extreme but not at all now. we know we are in for the long haul. we saw last and re— hold on, crossing everything that this would come and go. i think

tonyis that this would come and go. i think tony is absolutely right, just to even be thinking about it... it is a huge huge number of people that could be part of a solution in terms of global logistics rather than worrying about something that clearly shouldn't be happening. let us clearly shouldn't be happening. let us look at the daily express. towards the back of the paper, heroes, it says. sports stars. volunteering to play frontline roles in response to the coronavirus and doing so, knowing that there is a risk to themselves. when i was a kid my mother used always say the world is full of good people and this goes to show that there are many people out there who are going to volunteer, you are going to try and help the nhs, try and distribute those free passes to people, then there are people who are panic buying or laying off staff. this is a national effort and i expect all of us to do our part. and people will do that in many different ways but i suppose when you see,

caroline, amis, famous sports stars stepping forward like this, it is the best kind of example to encourage other two do the same. —— others to do the same. a senator in the philippines, and italian rugby star, he plays for a team that is based in northern italy, one of the most hit places in the whole world so when he says he is going to volunteer on the front line as an ambulance driver, that is going to reach out to an enormous number of people and hopefully inspire them to do the same thing. they are not alone but it does make a difference and it is a wonderful anecdote to a whole load of instagramming nonsense we have seen this week. it is strange talking to you down the line but it works, doesn't it? in spirit we are together. it is the best way we are together. it is the best way we can try and keep each other safe and the rest of the country should

heed that. we are glad the technology didn't let us down. good to see you both and hopefully, eventually, not so far
