to the year 2021, with the aim to have it there, at the latest, in summertime ‘21. organisers wanted a month to consider delaying an event that's costjapan at least £10 billion, but with the pandemic playing havoc with qualifying events, canada withdrew amid mounting pressure for a postponement. the head of british olympic association told me the right decision had been reached. i feel relieved because we were getting more and more feedback from athletes and from sport saying it has to be postponed this year. the one decision we have to make as soon as possible is that we postpone it in 2020 and put it back to 2021. so, my sense is relief. 0nce athletes‘ training facilities, like british cycling's national velodrome, were shutdown all across the world, tokyo 2020 effectively became untenable. we have to work together now, this is the better for notjust the nation but the world, humanity and we wa nt

nation but the world, humanity and we want to be voted on a show when we want to be voted on a show when we don't feel guilty. 0nce athletes‘ training facilities, like british cycling's national velodrome, were shutdown all across the world, tokyo 2020 effectively became untenable. but organisers now face an unprecedented challenge to rearrange a hugely complicated mega event, with questions over additional costs, commercial contracts, the availability of venues and the impact on the sporting calendar. the flame will stay injapan in the hope it can act as a beacon of light but when precisely the 2021 games will begin remains uncertain. dan roan, bbc news. there are growing concerns for many disabled people who rely on carers coming into their home for help. how will they cope if they have to self—isolate or if their carers become sick? 0ur disability news correspondent nikki fox, who herself is in self—isolation, reports. hi, i'm martin sibley and i'm self—isolating at home at the moment. like many disabled people, martin has decided he wants to do

all he can to avoid unnecessary contact with others. but he still needs help. every day, i do need a lot of support with getting out of bed and getting dressed, having a bath and all sorts of daily living tasks around the house. martin employs a team of assistants directly and with that comes its own concerns. another risk that i'm a bit unsettled by is if any of the care team were to fall ill with the virus, particularly my overnight support, and what that would mean for me at the moment. it is this question baroness campbell put to the department of social care 11 days ago. what are your concerns? the problem is that we are not attached to any agencies so basically we are on our own. we are employers and we have to put in place our own safety mechanisms. months of training have gone into that kind of relationship, in building that relationship, so clearly it is not as simple

as just getting an army of volunteers, is it? if you are on a ventilator, and there are a lot of us, that takes weeks of training so, you know, what is going to happen? to add to the concerns, nine charities have written to the government about a new bill currently going through parliament which they fear would jeopardise safeguards that protect disabled people. the draconian measures outlined made it a personal necessity for me to be here today. this is a health and social care obliteration bill by a different name. this emergency legislation would remove any obligation councils have to provide social care for all who need it. why is this so concerning for so many disabled people? what's critical is obviously what is life—saving but for many people, there are all sorts of other needs — what might be considered minor or moderate needs now might not be in the future, and there is nothing in this bill which allows for any sort of assessment of that. in a statement, the department of

health and social care said that... ministers insist that, for people like martin, the emergency provisions in the bill will be time limited. nikki fox, bbc news. we've had thousands more questions from you — many about the government's new rules telling you to stay at home and only go out for specific reasons. sophie hutchinson has been answering some of your questions. i'm a beauty therapist and i work in two care homes... can tradespeople still come and complete jobs at my house? well, it's a bit of a grey area. the government has said you should only go to work if it's absolutely necessary, but it has said that construction workers can continue with theirjobs. so, if you do have a painter or a decorator at home, then it's essential that you keep up good hygiene and remain a safe distance of at

least two metres apart. will divorced parents still both be able to keep seeing their kids — even if they live in different houses from each other? well, it's a question that has caused great confusion and concern, but the answer is yes. if parents are living apart, then children can travel between their different homes and maintain what's being considered as essential contact. my daughter's in student accommodation, can i go and collect her? well, if a family member is well and hasn't been quarantined, it seems reasonable that they should be allowed to go back home. so, yes, you probably can collect your daughter but try, if possible, not to go on public transport. can i walk a dog that needs exercise twice a day? well, it's tricky if you have a pet that needs walking several times a day. the rules are that you should only exercise once, but they don't say how far you should go

orfor how long. what if i want to take my pet to the vet? well, vets say they are still waiting for clarification from the government, but that they have cancelled all routine appointments, such as nail clipping or annual vaccinations, but that urgent and emergency care is still permitted. you can find out more about the symptoms of coronavirus and how to protect yourself on the bbc news app and on our website, which is bbc.co.uk/news. sport may have come to a halt because of coronavirus, but many teams are trying to remain active in their community. stevenage football club probably have more challenges than any other — they're bottom of the football league in england. but they are trying to lead the way in switching their resources, as our sports correspondentjoe wilson reports professional football, north hertfordshire... in adversity, what else

to do but adapt? and so, stevenage fc‘s captain and central defender becomes food deliverer. the football has stopped, but the community which surrounds the club is still there, waiting. there are people around the world that have got a lot of people they can rely on, but there are people, especially in this community, that don't have anyone to rely on, and it's good for the club to all come together and help towards the one cause. just a friendly voice at this time can be crucial. stevenage‘s foundation will continue to take calls, offer advice, even when staff start working from home. i have had a few people call up saying, i'm really sorry that we are taking up your time, and i'm saying, no, that's not a problem, that's exactly what we are here to do, just talk to you. lots of football clubs are helping in various ways at the moment. but here, the perspective is unique. football was suspended with stevenage admittedly at the bottom, last place in league two. a couple of weeks ago, we might have even referred

to that as a crisis. now we really know what a crisis is. 0ur league position is just out of the window. we're not worried about that. we're really worried about making sure the next time we kick a football here at the lamex stadium that as many of our staff, players and supporters and the volunteers are all in a healthy position to come back and support us. without money from matches, the future is, to say the least, a challenge. but clubs like stevenage are nothing without their communities. the support is mutual. right now, that may be measured in sandwiches. after all, the opponent is the same for everyone. joe wilson, bbc news, stevenage. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. good evening and thank you forjoining us. we'll start with the news that this summer's tokyo 0lympics have been

postponed until next year, because of the coronavirus pandemic. it's the biggest sporting event to fall due to the virus, that's shattered the sporting calendar in recent weeks. this is the first time the olympics have been delayed in it's12li year history and leaves potentially huge ramifications for the athletes and the hosts. head of world athletics, lord sebastian coe says if the games organisers did push on, this could have impacted the integrity of the competition and the wellbeing of the athletes. we wrote to the olympic international committee on sunday to express oui’ real concerns on behalf of the athletes. we pushed for postponement, this is the right decision for him and it's the right decision for the athletes. they are the most important group here, and they have been under intolerable conditions, and many of them are not able to train, and many of them are going through real emotional turmoil. we are no different from the rest of the world. we recognise that entirely, but the integrity of the competitions of the olympic games was seriously

going to be... seriously going to be compromised if we tried to force them into the remaining part of this year. but how do the athletes feel about all this? earlier i spoke tojustin rose, who won gold in the men's golf for team gb back at the 2016 rio 0lympics. he says the decision was inevitable... t's disappointing when the moment in time comes, but i think it's been somewhat inevitable really, the last month or so, it's become... more and more negative about the possibility of the olympics going ahead. so i think from an athletes point of view, i think that the fact that a decision is now made, we can all accept it, i suppose. we realise there are bigger and more important things going on in the world right now, and just adjust our rhythms and training schedules and get refocused and set the goals again for 2021.

winning gold in rio was one of your proudest moments of your career, you said, so how much are you looking forward to defending her title again this summer? oh, i was massively looking forward to heading to tokyo. my whole family was excited about it. we were going to make it a family trip. memories of a lifetime representing team gb down there, and obviously, to come away as an an olympic champion has been something that stayed with me for three and half years. it's been the biggest gift of my career, is what i've said. going into the on the big sky didn't quite know what it meant in terms of the world of golf, but, you know, i've been announced on the team is the olympic gold medallist, and olympic champion come india brings a smile to my insides every time i'm about to hit the ball off the first tee in a tournament. so it really has stayed with me for a long, long time. of the tournaments tend to come and go, but next week there's another winner on to her command to come and go, but next week there's another winner on tour,

and you are yesterday's news. so, it's very something different in my career. where you keep your gold medal? i keep it at the house. upstairs in a little trophy room. it's a room we don't go into that often. try to keep all of the trophies out of the way of the kids. it's actually right here by my side, my old friend here. yeah, it's got pride of place upstairs in the trophy room. well, it looks brilliant. thank you very much for bringing it along as well. the olympic sub obviously not going to be held in 2021, how much does that disrupt your schedule? i will be making the olympics my, you know, my priority in terms of the summer's goal. i'm going to try to keep plenty of energy in the tank for it, and something that is going to be a huge goal for me. if i'm honest, my game wasn't in the best of shape at the moment, so, you know, if i look back in a year and half time you know, it could possibly be a blessing in disguise. but there is still a lot of hard work post stop ensure the qualification criteria will be shifted here down the line, so a lot of hard workjust to make sure you are on the team, and there are a lot of other players and athletes who are going to have the opportunity to qualify.

so, you know, i definitely can't afford to take the i off the prize at all. the decision also means that the paralympics will be postponed. i've been speaking to five time gold medalist, hannah cockroft who understands the decision and is looking at the positives. obviously i'm pretty gutted. we have a way for years for us to come around commits this pinnacle of every athlete plus my career and the positive is it has not been cancelled, just postponed and eve ryo ne cancelled, just postponed and everyone possibly health and safety is paramount to some sport. obviously receptor keep training and try to see the positives. and little bits that it will be coming around this year. there's plenty more reaction and anaylsis on the olympics and paralympics being moved to next year. just go to the bbc sport website and app. bye for now.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are andy silvester, deputy editor of city am and caroline wheeler, the deputy political editor of the sunday times. welcome to you both. thank you very much for being with us. let's just run you through the front pages, the ones that we have been. the i describes this week as the biggest week for the nhs since its inception as a new temporary hospital is set to open at a london exhibition centre with 4000 beds. the metro also concentrates on the new field hospital, as the uk's coronavirus death toll soared by 87 in a day, from 335 to 422. the daily telegraph reports that

police officers are to "persuade, cajole, negotiate and advise" the public to follow lockdown restrictions as law enforcement leaders said they don't want to be compelled to take more draconian measures that are being commonly used abroad. the express picks up of matt hancock's promise that millions of new antibody tests will help britain defeat coronavirus. it also reports a study claiming 50% of us may have been infected. the times also picks up on the briefing by the health secretary, where he revealed a quarter of a million people are being recruited for an nhs volunteer army. but according to the guardian, a massive nhs recruitment drive to help contain the pandemic risks being undermined by the prospect of doctors quitting over fears of inadequate protective equipment. and the financial times focuses on chancellor, rishi sunak‘s warning that the pandemic would inevitably lead to businesses collapsing. so, let's begin... and the financial times focuses on chancellor, rishi sunak‘s warning that the pandemic would inevitably
