hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. as the number of deaths in the uk from the coronavirus rises to more than 1,000, 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.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us from home... lynn, it is all yours! we don't know where martin is. i hope he hasn't nodded. we will see if we can get him but i am glad we could get you otherwise it would be just we could get you otherwise it would bejust me. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the sunday times carries a warning from the government's leading epidemiology adviser that britain must remain in full lockdown untiljune if we are to avoid the worst effects of the coronavirus. 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 this week. 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 pandemic reached four figures. make a start. lynn, thank you. the sunday times, down must last until june says the top adviser. this is professor niall ferguson. the danger is to lift those restrictions to

soon and then the virus takes off again. it seems to be working quite well at the moment, the social distance and self isolation and so on. but this epidemiologist who i think has also had the coronavirus himself and recovered, doctor ferguson, he is saying that we have got to expect at least three months of lockdown, and then after that, we are going to have to do more social distancing for some months after that. so our lives are really com pletely that. so our lives are really completely changed if we want to defeat this horrible disease. as if by magic, another journalist defeat this horrible disease. as if by magic, anotherjournalist has appeared, martin is here. thank you for getting back to us! my wife i we nt for getting back to us! my wife i went down. i don't know why. for getting back to us! my wife i went down. i don't know whyli for getting back to us! my wife i went down. i don't know why. i am glad you recovered —— wifi went

down. tougher lockdown may be necessary. that is what we are seeing countries, that spain and italy have had to really get stop you also had trump quarantining new york, newjersey and part of connecticut which have gone down less tha n connecticut which have gone down less than particularly well with the governor of new york state. yes, this is the warning letter that will go to that million homes, every household in the country from the prime minister cautioning us that this isjust the beginning, that things are going to get worse. from the start he says we have sought to put out the right measures at the right time. we will not hesitate to go further if that is what the scientific and medical advice tells us we scientific and medical advice tells us we need to do, which is a signal that the lockdown may become more severe, that there may be this idea of having to sort of give justification for being out on the street, which is what we have in

france. i think unfortunately most people would have to accept whatever is the right advice is the right advice, that we have to be willing to make even more sacrifices in the wa ke to make even more sacrifices in the wake of what is an unprecedented and at times quite frightening scenario. lynn, there is a very stark headline, 20,000 deaths would be a good result. we know what that means, but it is an appalling headline to read. it is a very stark front page as well, and festival i think the chief scientific advisor said that it would be a good result if we didn't go beyond 20,000 deaths, and this was repeated today by the medical director for nhs england. they are now expecting, the latest projections are that it might be less than 6000 deaths. it is still a heck of a lot of people and a horrible disease if you get it

badly. people seem to have milder symptoms like our prime minister and the health secretary hancock, and the health secretary hancock, and the scotland minister as well, jack. they both have mild symptoms. in most people do have mild symptoms. but it is horrible to get it seriously, and of course it is a horrible way to die. and that is a problem, isn't it? you could be carrying it, you could pass it to someone carrying it, you could pass it to someone who is vulnerable. talk to us someone who is vulnerable. talk to us about the sunday telegraph. looking at this nhs pandemic test that was carried out four years ago, the health service failed. people will be looking at this are —— story and thinking, why is this not the lead story? 0h, and thinking, why is this not the lead story? oh, dear, something has gone seriously awry. the nhs said it failed a government estimate and ability to handle a pandemic, but terrifying results were kept from

the public. this is an exercise which was taking place in october when 16. and apparently, it was basically a test of how the nhs could cope a major flew out great, but there are similarities with the mortality rate of covid—19. it was basically too sensitive for the findings to be made public because there was a genuine sense of the over the results, and the government knew this three years ago. if this is the case, and the government knew three years ago that the nhs was not to cope with a pandemic, why did we not change things to ensure that we were? it is incredible they didn't tell us because they have got... they haven't got the capacity to deal with a surge, a big number of people coming in, as we have got at the moment. they realised they would have to switch off other large parts

of the nhs, which is what they have had to do now. this is not a test. this is the real thing. the other son “— this is the real thing. the other son —— story on the sunday telegraph is to keep cool heads, businesses told. the former business advisor to borisjohnson told. the former business advisor to boris johnson saying told. the former business advisor to borisjohnson saying maybe some of these businesses that closed did so too quickly. he is now an mp and the position to do something about this. he also says in his area for example they have closed down restaurants and drive—in mcdonald's in his constituency is used a lot by police, by people who are emergency workers, and they have got nowhere to go now for coffee or something to eat in odd hours. but basically saying that we have got to look at how we keep our businesses going even though we are all being told to stay at home. we were told that only people who are essential, martin, to

a business should be actually going into work. and if you work in a food serving industry, business, you can't do that from home, can you? no, but also, these companies close no, but also, these themselves down. we all got the e—mails from mcdonald's and anyone who uses any of these shops has been given e—mails from a company telling them, ask they had to decide is closed down. and i do think people... we have had to change our life in the space of a fortnight in a way that no—one could have imagined we would. and that means everyone is already making sacrifices, and this is part of that, and it is not great for anyone. people working in these companies suddenly haven't got jobs, have they? they will be fearful of how they will look after their families and keep food on the table and all of these issues are massive.

but for a and all of these issues are massive. but fora memberof and all of these issues are massive. but for a member of parliament to make a statement like this seems to mea make a statement like this seems to me a little bit... wrong, actually, i have to be honest. is this at odds with the minor message that we are given? with the minor message that we are iv with the minor message that we are given? lynn, let's go back to the sunday times. crisis hits pregnant women as clinics shut. this is talking about maternity services and, for that matter, pregnancy and abortion services. this is exactly what we are warned of in the dami im run what we are warned of in the dami im i’ui’i “ —— dummy run. we have pregnant women, hundreds of thousands being affected. hospitals are difficult places now where you can get this infection. they are not

able to take someone with you to the scan. when you are giving birth, we are talking about them not being able to have somebody with you, your partner when you are giving birth. there are huge changes here, and yet, we desperately need women to give birth to babies, and we haven't got a midwife, we have got birthing centres closing down. coronavirus has caused an enormous change to our lives and devastating changes to things like cancer services and baby services. i know it is a very controversial subject, terminations, abortions, martin, but this kind of climate, this is where women might start to take risks if they can't access legitimate services. yes. people, if they are panicking, if they find themselves unable to have a termination, you can understand why the doctors might have, the

hospital i have life or death decisions that they might feel la priorities. —— feel our priorities. it could lead to a desperate act. people need advice, people need help. people need to access information, and pregnant women in particular, sometimes they are panicking of obvious reasons because they are pregnant, things are very difficult for them. we desperately need as much information to as many people as possible, and we haven't overstretched nhs as we know, and suddenly things are really tough, and it is going to be difficult for and it is going to be difficult for an awful lot of people. martin, dorcas about the mail on sunday, china positive lies, suggesting china positive lies, suggesting china has not been upfront about the true death toll there. it is just affliction? this is interesting because there are people in

government who were not happy with the prime minister pushing through the prime minister pushing through the huawei decision of 5g. you wonder here if some of these allies are not quite allies. boris johnson's allies turned on china over the coronavirus yesterday, ministers and senior delegate officials said the communist state now faces a reckoning over its handling of the outbreak. this is rather nasty and probably dangerous and needless language, and you wonder if there are some scores being settled here. it does mention in the story the huawei decision over 56. maybe people who are counting against that are using this as an option to question again that decision. it is hard to tell. president trump has been criticised for repeatedly referring to it, lynn, as the chinese virus. yes, absolutely. and they had a call with

our prime minister on friday he rang to commiserate over what was happening with the covid—19 here, and you just wonder, because he is so against how they have their foothold in this country, whether that came up in conversation as well. let's finish with the daily star on sunday, not the fact that i put the secrets of the page three girls on the front page, light reading a paper from the 1980s. girls on the front page, light reading a paperfrom the 1980s. we are talking here about won't be rubbish to our bin men. some of them have been suffering from terrible abuse from people. actually, i am very glad in a way that although i think there is really only one story in town, i think the bin men were probably going to have to reduce the services that we have because we are telling everybody to stay at home and yet there is an essential workers out there and bin men are among them and people are being a bit horrible. so we may have to expect our bins don't get emptied so

much. we have also got lots of other essential workers, like mortuary attendants are having to go to work and we have to learn to live differently in the future, probably. all these emergency workers. the advice, martin, is to not throw so much away and then your bin won't need emptying so often. people putting up their rubbish as they normally would go, but if they are infected, then there is a danger that they are putting the rubbish out, the infection could spread. i assume the majority of bin men will wear gloves. what if they made whole in the glove or whatever? i can understand the concerns of anybody coming into contact with other people and other people by the ca stoffs. people and other people by the castoffs. it is a situation, in the case of people throwing dog mess away. often they are opening the

bins at
