hello. this is bbc news with me, martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. president trump says he's considering imposing a quarantine on new york to try to slow the spread of the coronavirus. well, this would be an enforceable quarantine and, you know, i'd rather not do it, but we may need it. as the number of deaths in the uk from the coronavirus rises to more than a 1,000, officials warn that social distancing restrictions must be kept in place. if we can keep deaths below 20,000, we will have done very well in this epidemic. more than 10,000 people have now died from covid—19 in italy since the start of the outbreak. spain announces further tightening of restrictions to tackle the virus, after being accused of acting too slowly.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us, broadcaster and campaigner lynn faulds—wood and martin lipton from the sun. welcome to buy. we know what backdrop looks like, lynn but a nice spotlight behind you, martin. always great to have an insight into how people live! nice to see both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer says borisjohnson will warn every household in britain that he is prepared to tighten the nation's lockdown, after the uk suffered the biggest daily increase in its death toll. the sunday express says the prime minister's bleak message will be delivered in a letter scheduled to be sent to every household thisweek. the sunday telegraph reports that the prime minister has warned that "things will get worse before

they get better", as the nhs urged against complacency in the national effort to reduce the spread of coronavirus. the sunday people warns of the amount of potential deaths in the uk — and that many more will die if we don't follow the rules. according to the sunday mirror, medics have pleaded for more protective masks and gowns to stop them becoming "sitting ducks". the mail on sunday says borisjohnson‘s allies have turned on china over the coronavirus crisis, as britain's death toll from the epidemic reached four figures. this is quite a short review, we only have a few minutes that will get through as many front pages as we can. first, this morning on the sunday express, martin. things will get worse before they get better. we are to look out for a letter coming to the house. yes, apparently 30 million households across the country will get a letter from boris johnson that will warn us this is

just the beginning, effectively. a pretty dire and stark warning from the prime minister and government, symptomatic of a situation where we think that it's bad but in fact, this is the start only of a long, drawn—out process. the warnings are clear for everyone, that it will get worse. lynn, the issue is we have to keep reminding each other, ourselves, politicians have to remind us, medics remind us, we can't afford to drop the ball and become complacent over this new normal? absolutely not and this thing about social distancing... when i have been going out for my one walked or one run a day, i notice there is a lot of people who haven't quite got the idea yet. i will drop back and make plenty of room for them to get round me, but they carry on just walking. i think that it's great that we remind people that this is really important. we should also remind

them the first projections of those to die was awful, 260,000 or something. now we are down to 20,000 being called a good result. this is a horrible, horrible disease. i hope the papers... i hope people buy a paper because they are suffering, but i hope they report what it feels like to get this horrible disease. the observer goes with a similar line, let's talk about that with you a little more. a tougher lockdown may be necessary, the kind we are seeing in spain, where no one is allowed out unless you are truly an essential worker. or france, allowed out unless you are truly an essentialworker. or france, where you have to carry a letter which says what you are allowed out. if you look what has happened in italy, i think italy has over 10,000 deaths 110w i think italy has over 10,000 deaths now and they are just a bit ahead of us now and they are just a bit ahead of us and spain is terrible as well for deaths. that is the way we are headed. i think that something like... the numbers that die double

every two and a half days or the numbers who get it. huge numbers and its growing really fast. we all have to do what we can to stop being silly. martin, the other story is shock new figures on intensive care deaths in the observer. you hope that if you get a place in an intensive care unit he will get the kind of treatment that will see you through, but these figures... the opening paragraph in this story is quite chilling. the mortality rate for patients put in intensive care after being infected with the covid—19 virus is running close to 50, 50%. they looked at 165 patients, of whom 79 have died. a lot of them, over 600, is still being treated. but this is an indication ofjust how desperate

this illness, this virus can be to people who are vulnerable. and people who are vulnerable. and people who are vulnerable. and people who don't think they are vulnerable. we have had people dying over the age of 63 admittedly, but people who had no underlying health issues at all in a number of places. i have just seen the figures from the states and in the space of two days, they have gone from having 1000 confirmed cases to more than 2000. it has more than doubled in just 48 hours in the us. we are likely to be following the path of italy and spain and the rest of the world. this is something beyond our understanding almost, in terms of the scale of the damage and danger of this virus. lynn, you mentioned a moment the potential death toll. the sunday people have gone with that and it is a very, very stark headlines as to britain's top medic said fewer than 20,000 deaths will bea said fewer than 20,000 deaths will be a good result. i mean... everything is relative i know, but

20,000 people dying and that is... we are supposed to think that is good. i think it is a terrible way to have expressed it and i hope these people who are not used probably to this media attention, i hope they are not, that they get some training in this. to call something 20,000 dead a good result... and the other thing that worries me, most of the intensive ca re worries me, most of the intensive care beds were being used for other people before they started. what happened to all of them and how many other people are dying of other things like cancer, close to my heart, because of this happening? so it is just dreadful how it has taken over the nhs. i suppose that headline on the sunday people drives it home, martin, that it will be even more if we don't do the right thing, if we don't observe the measures that we've been told we must observe? this is professor stephen powis, he works for nhs england, medical director. we were told if there was none of the social

distancing moves that were put in place, we were looking at 570,000 deaths. with some moves that have been put in it could have been halved to 260,000. now we are told that if things go as well as they could to do, we could end up with 20,000 deaths. it's a horrendous number, a stark number, but i would say it is indicative of the success we have had so far, that people are becoming aware now ofjust how dangerous this is, how vital it is for every single person in this country to follow the government advice. of course, every single deathis advice. of course, every single death is a tragedy, every single death is a tragedy, every single deathis death is a tragedy, every single death is heartbreaking for those, the loved ones of those who are dying. that multiplied by 20,000 times is a pain and anguish that is almost unfathomable. and some of them we could avoid if we do the right thing. just a quick comment from both of you on the sunday

telegraph story. nhs failed pandemic test four years ago. the nhs was effectively put under a kind of preparedness and stress test to see how it would cope and the results we re how it would cope and the results were not good. a major story. i'm surprised they didn't lean on in some ways. for years ago in 2016, there was a preparation test, a pandemic test called operation sickness. the findings were so shocking that they were kept secret. that basically, there was an inadequacy amongst the nhs to deal with a pandemic, with a virus of this ilk. if the nhs leadership knew that and the government knew that four years ago, questions i'm sure will be asked about why steps weren't taken to ensure that things we re weren't taken to ensure that things were better when it became the real thing, rather thanjust were better when it became the real thing, rather than just an academic, as it were, exercising... it is not an academic exercise. a quick

comment from you, lynn? astonishing to me that this was hidden. if people tune in at 11:30 when we are back on again, i will tell you how a trainer is being blamed for hiding stuff. but this pandemic test... we ought to have prepared for this. we will. you mentioned the china story, it's in front of the mail on sunday and we will talk about that at 11:30. that is it for the papers this hour. martin and lynn will be back again with us for another look at the front pages at 11:30. next, the latest information and health advice on coronavirus, what the symptoms are, how to self—isolate, with victoria derbyshire.

we will know the main advice to stop the virus from spreading, wash your hands regularly for around 20 seconds. avoid touching your face and maintain social distancing, which is making sure areas of two metres between you and anyone else. as laura foster explains. politicians, scientists and even

celebrities or want us to practice social distancing. it means no coming into contact with people u nless coming into contact with people unless you need to, so no more visitors at your house, visiting other peoples houses, going to restau ra nts, other peoples houses, going to restaurants, parties, pubs, clubs, sporting events, you get the idea. if you can, work from home then the government says you should and your employer should help you do this. if you absolutely can't work from home, then avoid busy travel times. you can go out for a walk and buy essentials but you need to stay at least two metres from everyone else. imagine you are holding a big broom. you will be the correct distance away if you can't touch anyone with it. the people who need to practising social distancing the most of those over 70, anyone with an underlying health condition and pregnant women that really everyone should do it to stop the virus from spreading and reduce the pressure on health services. because if you limit the contact you have with others, you are reducing your chances of catching the virus and passing it onto someone else. so

that a social distancing but we are hearing a lot about people being asked to quarantine. social distancing and quarantine are not the same thing. here is laura again. a big problem with coronaviruses you can have it and not know about it. it means you can go about your day as you have always done, feel com pletely as you have always done, feel completely fine but actually infect around 2—3 people within a week. what happens then is those people you infected go on to infect another 2-3 you infected go on to infect another 2—3 people each and then those people will infect others, and that is how the virus spreads. but look at what happens when people stay at home and practice social distancing. for instance, if this person didn't go round to their friends for instance, if this person didn't go round to theirfriend's has, if this person worked from home, if this person worked from home, if this person worked from home, if this person didn't go to the corner shop, if this person visit their mum, this reduces the number of cases from 406 to just 15. as the number of cases goes down, so does the pressure on doctors and nurses and on our health service. this will make the difference between people

living and people dying. you can go out to exercise once a day or fetch food or medicine but only with people you live with. in short, stay at home as much as possible. it will save lives. washing your hands often and for at least 20 seconds is vital in helping to stop the spread of coronavirus. not sure how to? here is how i make sure you watch until the end when we have a special treat for you. so first, we create a lather. back of the hands. in between the fingers. the ends of my fingers. there we are. and again, my palms. wrists. the top of my hands again. and rinse my hands. but i'm going to use a tissue to turn off this tap to stop cross

contamination. so that is how to wash your hands properly. for now, here is your surprise. so, washing our hands and keeping clear of other people, both vital to stop the spread of the virus. but what about other things you are co nsta ntly what about other things you are constantly in touch with? literally, like your phone? washing your hands is vital. if you're worried about germs on your phone you can clean it effectively with simple soap and water. i'm a microbiologist at the university college london and i'm going to show you how to clean your phone. unplug your phone, turn it off and remove the case. all the major phone makers warn against using chemicals, hand and abrasive wipes on your phone as it can damage the screen's protective coating. dampena the screen's protective coating. dampen a microfibre cloth with water

and simple household soap. gently rub the surfaces of the phone with the damp cloth. take care not to get moisture in any of the openings because even water resistant phones lose their protection over time. finally, dry your phone with a clean microfibre cloth. even just using soap and water could effectively remove bacteria and viruses from your phone and we can test that by using this little device and these swa bs. using this little device and these swabs. the device gives a reading of relative light units. that is a measure of the microbial activity on your phone. so the higher the number, the more germs are present. we tested all of these phones and their cases before and after cleaning with soapy water and they we re cleaning with soapy water and they were all significantly cleaner afterwards. 0n were all significantly cleaner afterwards. on a surgical surface, we would want to get a figure of 50 or less and all of our phones and cases had reading slower than that. if you have an iphone, apple says you can safely clean it with 70% alcohol wipes, the ones you can get from computer shops online.

there are also devices you can use to sterilise your phone using a type of radiation — it shouldn't ease but some phones could be discoloured over time. with all of these methods as soon as you touch your phone you will get germs back on it, so make sure you keep washing your hands regularly and thoroughly. so that is how to get rid of the coronavirus from your phone. what about other surfaces where the virus may lurk? this is jim reid. there are two main ways of catching coronavirus. the first is through particles in the air, someone breathes out or coughs and the virus is spread in droplets and a single cough can produce 3,000 droplets. you breathe it in and become infected. this is why governments across the world are telling us to stay two metres away from each other to stop the spread. the second way is through something scientists call fomite transmission, those virus particles land on a hard surface and are spread when an infectious person touches it.

because a person is shedding the virus from their nose and throat and they're coughing it out into the air, that means that anything they touch will be covered in this virus. if you come along later and touch the same surface, you could pick up from that surface a collection of these virus particles, if there are enough of them there, and you can transfer them to your nose and eyes, you could infect yourself. it is still early days but a team in the united states has run tests on corona already. they found the virus that causes covid—19 can remain active on some surfaces. 0n copper, the result showed traces for up to four hours. 0n cardboard, up to 24—hours. 0n plastic and stainless steel, for up to three days. to mitigate the risk, wash your hands frequently, use alcohol gel, which deactivates the virus very efficiently, if it has more than 70% alcohol in it, and do what i've seen

many of my friends doing, which is also wrap your sleeves around your hand to open the door or use your elbow. studies show... the amount of virus on a surface of sharply with time, according to studies, so doctors say it is important to be extra careful with surfaces that are touched frequently by others. as forfood packaging deliveries and other things that come to the letterbox, we think the virus can live on cardboard for 24 hours and on plastic for up to three days. but scientists say treat those results with caution. we don't yet know how much of the virus is needed yet to infect someone or how easily it is transferred back to your hand. if you are worried that the shelf stacker in the supermarket might have the virus, you could, if you really wanted to, wipe that down with a hand rub, as well, but that is probably not necessary. the risk is probably really low. given the virus will have had to have been there for an extended

period of time. in all these cases, though, the most effective thing you can do is wash your hands with soap. cheap soap, fancy soap, any soap, for 20 seconds. if the particles are on your hands, it should be enough to kill the virus and break the chain of transmission. so, again, the reminder to wash your hands. that is the advice from top scientists at the world health organization to gps working to save lives in hospitals. but alongside the good advice have come some dangerous myths about the virus. chris morris now. we know whether experts say. above all, wash your hands frequently to limit the spread of coronavirus but there have also been myths circulating on social media and elsewhere which amount to fake health advice. so here are a few things to ignore. myth number one — eat garlic to avoid infection. there is no question that garlic is a healthy food. the same goes for other fruit and vegetables, but the world health organization

says there is no evidence that eating garlic or anything else has protected people from covid—19. myth number two — drink water every 15 minutes. again, drinking water and staying hydrated is good for you but that doesn't mean it can stop coronavirus. you get a virus like this when you breathe in. there's no biological mechanism to suggest you can flush it out of your system by constantly drinking water. myth number three — don't eat ice cream. the idea of avoiding ice cream or other cold foods can prevent the virus taking hold is totally untrue. and trying to heat your body to make it inhospitable for the virus just won't work. we know the flu virus does not survive well outside the body during summer heat, but we don't yet know enough about how the heat might impact the new coronavirus. myth numberfour — drinkable silver.

the use of colloidal silver, tiny particles of a metal suspended in liquid, has been suggested but the clear advice from health authorities is that it doesn't treat infections in the body or boost immunity. in fact, it could cause serious side effects like kidney damage, seizures, or even turning your skin blue. again, the best advice in all circumstances — keep washing your hands. covid—19 is forcing family gatherings and parties across the world to be cancelled and for young children, it can be especially upsetting. but those tasked with organising children's birthdays are not being deterred, and they are ready to use tech to keep youngsters happy. the bbc‘s david sillito reports. social distancing, life indoors, not much fun, especially if you are three. if there are germs outside,

we have got to stay indoors. # do you want to build a snowman... # come on, let's go and play.# one thing has not been cancelled. jessica today is elsa from frozen. she has found a way to give little harry his birthday party online. harry started asking us in december to have a frozen party and we were looking for it and countingdown the days until at least the beginning of february so the fact that we were able to have one is just unbelievable. # let it go, let it go. # one with the wind and sky.# forjessica, the experiment with a virtual birthday party seems to be working. just look at theirfaces! # do you want to build a snowman?# how did that feel?

really weird but really lovely, because it meant i could still give the children the magic and that is what it is about, because it is their special day. this crazy pandemic should not take it away from them. # do you want to build a snowman... i can see their eyes on me and enjoying it and that was amazing. david sillito, bbc news. with millions of us under shut down conditions around the world, startling pictures have emerged of empty city and deserted streets. these are some of the images from across the globe.

that's it for now. please keep up to date with everything on the bbc news website. i'm victoria derbyshire. do contact me on twitter with your stories at any time at vicderbyshire and thank you for watching. hello, good evening. it's certainly started to feel colder this weekend.

we take that chilly feel with us into sunday. not only will it be cold, it will also be windy. quite a significant wind chill. one or two wintry showers around as well, but also a lot of dry weather thanks to this area of high pressure. quite a strong high pressure area, actually, that's going to stick with us throughout the next few days and with the winds around high pressure flowing in a clockwise direction, that is bringing cold air down from the north and the strength of that wind really accentuating that chilly feel. so, temperatures dipping away through this evening and tonight, some clear spells around, large areas of cloud as well, and one or two of those showers wintry over high over, but even at low levels, a little bit of wintryness mixing in at times. temperatures generally hovering around about freezing. i think we'll drop below freezing for some spots in the countryside. the other thing happening through the small hours is the clocks are going to spring forward an hour. these are the sunrise and sunset times tomorrow. sunset, crucial, of course — the sun not setting until after 8pm across parts of northern ireland, so you will notice the extra

daylight during tomorrow but as far as the weather is concerned, large areas of cloud and some sunny spells in between but, again, there will be some showers, some of which will be wintry and you will notice the strength of that wind. the windiest conditions to be found across england and wales. gusts of 40 mph or more. could see gusts of 50 mph or more for some eastern and southern coastal districts. that is really going to make it feel chilly. 0n the thermometer, most places tomorrow will be in single digits but when we factor in the strength of the wind, this is what it's going to feel like. in many spots, it's not going to feel much better than freezing. now, as we move into monday, similar sort of weather, really, the winds will be a little bit lighter, you'll still notice the strength of the breeze. a lot of dry weather around, large patches of cloud. some sunny spells and one or two showers here and there. just signs that things might be a little bit less chilly by this stage. 9—11 degrees. then as we head deeper into the week, well, this strong area of high pressure really stays with us, so that is going to provide

a lot of dry weather, certainly through the middle part of the week. these frontal systems trying to edge into the north, bringing some outbreaks of rain here and eventually something colder. so, temperatures in the north of the uk will dip away towards the end of the week. something a little bit less chilly further south, and plenty of dry weather.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. as the number of deaths in the uk from the coronavirus rises to more than a thousand, officials warn that social distancing restrictions must be kept in place. if we can keep down to below 20,000, we will have done very well in this epidemic. more than 10,000 people have now died from covid—19 in italy since the start of the outbreak. president trump says he's considering imposing a quarantine on new york to try to slow the spread of the coronavirus. well, this would be an enforceable quarantine. i'd rather not do it but we may need it. spain announces further tightening of restrictions to tackle the virus after being accused of acting too slowly.
