hopefully, adjust some of the social distancing measures. in the us — a prediction from the leading government expert that coronavirus could kill up to 200,000 americans. as italy grapples with the world's highest death toll from coronavirus — there's a severe shortage of medical staff in the north. another 838 people die from covid—19 in spain — the country's highest daily number of deaths. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator, john rentoul, and the independent‘s deputy political editor, rob merrick.

you are going to any other good bookcase, a knob. nice to have you booked with us here. we can't hear him,i booked with us here. we can't hear him, iwillfind booked with us here. we can't hear him, i will find all he was saying ina minute. the metro reports on the death of a frontline doctor who had been treating coronavirus patients. the mirror also leads on the doctor's death — adding that staff are pleading for personal protective equipment. the i reports that the new nhs field hospital in east london will be ready within days. the star says people are now wasting the food they panic bought — with some photos of food flowing out of household bins. the times reports on the deputy chief medical officer's warning today that it will take six months for britain to get back to normal. this is also the express‘s lead story — along with a reminder of the uk's death toll climbing to 1,288. and the mail takes a departure from the coronavirus theme —

and instead leads on a tweet from donald trump saying that the us will not pay for security for harry and meghan. lets make a start with the death of the doctor and how it is being reported on the daily mirror. rob, nhs heroes are definitely front line,. this was the doctor treating time in hospital a very dedicated doctor and family members. we went today that they have been over 1000 deaths, focusing particularly on this one, the first doctor to die like we know of to have died on at the front line do fighting could not wider. i gather a second doctor did diea wider. i gather a second doctor did die a couple of days ago. tonight, that has been anything to bit from

the first doctor's son tonight talking about his compassion, how caring he was, how he split his time between his family and saving the nhs. just how proud the 18—year—old was of his father. i gathered being a year, throat and nose consulting as the stock that was is particularly risky. i think they have been other cases of surgeons contracting the virus unfortunately. asimilar contracting the virus unfortunately. a similar story on the metro, it talks about how this doctor gave his life. they had a part criticising the people in the same city ignoring the people in the same city ignoring the lockdown. yes, a very effective front page that they mitchell has done the wrong that contrast between the hero doctor —— the metro and the people who put two fingers up to the restrictions imposed on all of us. there have been some details about

the party they had, it was karaoke, there was a bothy laid on, paying no attention at all to the destruction. nevertheless, it seems that most people are obeying about the restrictions. we see that in the huge number of people working at home, deserted city centres and in at the number of people using public transport. yes, it is a stark comparison, john, isn't it? how one person has effectively given his life in this battle against the pandemic while other people think they can carry on selfishly as usual? sorry, i miss the start of your question. it's the metro, the metro, the jets your question. it's the metro, the metro, thejets the position between the selfishness and the selflessness. yes, the police breaking up the karaoke party. yes, it's a really terrible human story

that. they have gone on the contrast between one doctor who has obviously... his family put out the statement saying that he saw his work for the nhs as a noble purpose, contrasting that with the disposability of some people who are not taking it seriously i don't seem to understand that it is not about catching it yourself, it's about transmitting it to other people. indeed, that cannot be emphasised enough, the need for this distance of at least two metres are not spending time in close but simply with people because it is transmitted by up notjust overseas but the airborne nature of it. they can't emphasise that enough. the daily express— six months for britain to get back to normal. this warning from the deputy chief medical officer will no doubt rather alarmed some people. a lot of

newspapers have got that on the front page tomorrow, including the independent. the times also goes on the six months. i think people did understand that when the prime minister said that we were going to do is 40 weeks then look at it again, everybody understood that it was going to take much longer three weeks. i think that was there was a general acceptance that it was good to bea general acceptance that it was good to be a long time but you have jenny harris, the deputy chief medical officer, say that, obviously prepares people for a very, very long haul. rob, the message from her it was that we can't just immediately return to normal, it will be gradual, we are going to have to review it. i agree with john, i don't think what she said will come as a huge surprise to people paying close attention to the situation. certainly, we have not had it laid out so clearly as it was

today. it was clear that the three—week initial lockdown is just the start, it is clear that is as goodis the start, it is clear that is as good is about three months before any of that lockdown is lifted. doctor harris as a medic not a politician making decisions. she wasn't clear about which restrictions might or might not remain in place after the restrictions for six months or maybe even longer as she suggested, clearly some sort of partial lockdown. perhaps help schools and universities will remain closed, most people will have to work from home, i desire to see a return to mass gathering. maybe the papers review will still be done remotely. indeed, we will have a cheeky look inside all of your lovely homes. seriously though, john, for some people, six—month and effective total isolation if you're a vulnerable person— that is a very ha rd vulnerable person— that is a very hard thing to countenance? vulnerable person— that is a very hard thing to countenance7m vulnerable person— that is a very hard thing to countenance? it is, it is also very difficult for people

who live alone, even if they are not abominable. but they can't actually go out and interact with people. —— evenif go out and interact with people. —— even if they are not abominable. you can do things through video but it is not the same. it's all right for me,| is not the same. it's all right for me, i have got a family around but i do feel really sorry for people who live alone. especially at the people in the abominable category who have to be shielded. the i, new nhs hospital ready in days. this is a remarkable achievement, that such a facility can be set up so quickly. this is clearly encouraging, doctor harris made clear today that at present at least that is no shortage of critical care facilities in the nhs, even in london and the hotspot. some of us will worry that we are

already running short of critical ca re already running short of critical care spacer that is some glimmer of hope. when this hospital comes on stream, they will be more relief there. we all laughed, didn't we, when the chinese built a hospital in a few days in wuhan but we seem to have done something similar. the question is will the hospital have the staff, will have the ventilators, the protective equipment? of course, there have been huge question marks to the about the government are turning down an offer from a company to provide 5000 ventilators, we learn. another aspect of the tragic death of the doctor highlights how these medics ironically front line without the protective equipment that they have been repeatedly promised. we are talking about the nightingale p°p‘up are talking about the nightingale pop—up hospital in the london exhibition centre, xl, also others being built in manchester and

birmingham. but the sheer strain this protective nature of the pandemic is going to create for our already exhausted the energies that mustn't be underestimated. as we have been reporting, there are going to be 30,000 extra beds provided, but it is the question of the nursing staff, in particular, the critical care staff, to look after the patients in these beds. that is the patients in these beds. that is the real limit of the nhs's capacity. as the prime minister they we re capacity. as the prime minister they were saying today, more people are coming back to the nhs, people are being diverted from other tasks, but in the end, you are going to hit a limit of numbers which is why it is so limit of numbers which is why it is so important for people to keep on with the discipline of cell —— social distancing. one non-covid-19

a story, tom tweeting that whilst he isa a story, tom tweeting that whilst he is a great friend of the queen and great britain, american is not sufficiently built for their protection if they are living in the states. it's extraordinary, donald trump never ceases to amaze with how low he can step on how he canjust grab the front page headlines all around the world with just one tweet. it is an important story, thatis tweet. it is an important story, that is obviously going to be some concern about security for harry and meghan. according to a spokesperson for the duke and duchess, they have no plans to ask the american government for security resources, privately funded arrangements have been made so a bit of a fuss being made by the president unnecessarily. it does sound like they have sorted themselves out, it doesn't look as if it will involve harry doing work as is the understanding, the

original interpretation of promising to live on his own two feet. we will wait to see who he has sponsorship from. we will wait, it is not the most pressing issue with a pandemic to consider. that's it for the people at this hour but a joint i rob can't go anywhere they will be back at half past 11. that's it for the papers this hour. john and rob will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week — at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it hello and welcome to this special programme. i'm victoria derbyshire. over the next half an hour, we are going to try and tell

you as much as we can about coronavirus to help you that you can share the information with others. for the latest on the spread of the disease, you can always head to our website for information on how it's affecting people in your community and your country. the main advice to stop the virus from spreading, wash your hands often, for around 20 seconds, avoid touching yourface and maintain social distancing, which is making sure there is around two metres between you and anyone else — as laura foster explains. politicians and scientists and even celebrities want to explain that we have to operate social distancing, which means no coming into contact with people unless you need to, so no more visitors at your house, visiting other people's houses, going to restaurants, pubs, clubs, sporting events. you get the idea. if you can work from home, the government says you should and your employer should help

you do this. if you absolutely can't work from home, 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 practice social distancing the most are those over 70, anyone with an underlying health condition and pregnant women. really, everyone should do it to stop the virus spreading and reduce the pressure on health services. if you have less direct contact with others you are reducing the threat of catching the virus and passing it onto someone else. we are hearing a lot about quarantine, but social distancing and quarantine are not the same thing. a big problem with coronavirus is that you can have it but not know about it, meaning you can go about your day as you have always done, feel fine but actually infect around 2—3 people within a week. what happens is those

people go on to infect another 2—3 people each, those people then infect others and that's how the virus spreads. look at what happens when people stay at home and practice social distancing. for instance, if this person did not go down to their friends house and if this person worked from home, if this person did not go to the corner shop, if this person didn't visit their mother, 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 the health service. this will make the difference between people living and people dying. you can go out to exercise once a day and fetch food and medicine but only with people you live with. stay at home and stay at least two metres away from people if you do have to go out.

washing hands often and for at least 20 seconds is vital for stopping the spread of coronavirus. here is how, make sure you watch until the end. first, we create a lather. the back of my hands, in between the fingers, the of my fingers. again, my palms, my wrists, the top of my hands again. give them events. but i'm going to use a tissue to turn off the tap. that is how to wash your hands properly, but now, here is your surprise.

washing our hands and keeping clear of other people, both vital for stopping the violence. but what about things you're constantly in touch with, literally, your phone? hi, i'm a microbiologist and i will show you how to clean your phone. turn your phone off and remove the case. all the major phone makers warn against using chemicals, hand gels and abrasive wipes because that can damage the protective coating on the screen. damping a microfibre cloth in water and soap and gently rub the surface of the phone with the damp cloth. take care not to get moisture in any of the openings because even water resistant phones will lose their protection over time. just using soap and water can remove bacteria from your phone and we can

test that by using this device. it gives a reading of relative light units and that is a measure of the microbial activity on your phone so the higher the number, the more germs are present. we tested these phones and their cases before and after, cleaning with soapy water, and they were all significantly clea ner afterwards. on a surgical surface, we would want to get a figure of 50 or less, and all of our phones and cases have readings lower than that. if you have an iphone, apple says you can clean it with 70% alcohol wipes. these are the ones you can get online or from computer shops. there are also devices you can use to sterilise your phone using uvc radiation — it shouldn't harm it but some phones could be discoloured over time. with all of these methods, as soon as you touch your phone you will get germs on it, so make sure you keep washing your hands regularly and thoroughly. that is your phone. what about other surfaces

where the virus may lurk? here'sjim reid. there are two main ways of catching coronavirus. the first is particles in the air, someone breathes out and the virus is spread in droplets, or aerosol. 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 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, and you can transfer them to your nose and eyes and 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. the amount of virus on a surface declines sharply with time, so doctors say it is important to be extra careful with services that are touched frequently by others. as forfood packaging deliveries

and other things that come through 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. the virus would 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. alongside the good advice have come some dangerous myths about the virus. chris morris from our reality check team. we know what the experts say. above all, wash your hands frequently to limit the spread 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. one thing has not been cancelled. jessica kingsley today is elsa from frozen. she has found a way to give little harry his birthday party online. 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 kingsley 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 forward to it and counting down the days until at least from the beginning of february so the fact that we were able to have one is just unbelievable. # let it go, let it go. # i'm one with the wind and sky. forjessica, the experiment with a virtual birthday party seems to be working. just look at their faces! # 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 still see their eyes on me and enjoying it and that was amazing. david sillito, bbc news. with millions of us under shutdown conditions around the world, startling pictures have emerged of empty cities and deserted streets. these are some of the images from across the globe.

that's it for now. please keep up to date with the latest 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, it's certainly been feeling chillier this weekend. hello, during the early part of last week, we had some spring one. on tuesday, temperatures got up to 19 celsius. but we start the new week ona celsius. but we start the new week on a much colder night, during sunday, temperatures do not get out of single digits, i chose not to

monday morning as well. high pressure in charge sitting to the west of the british isles, circulating in a clockwise direction that the wrong some rather cold air are what way. the air is perhaps just perhaps not quite as cold as it has been over the weekend. through the day, there will be showers around, when three up first in 11 areas, some showers don't the and south of england as well. it will mostly be rain, not as many showers are further west, relatively breezy, not quite as windy so not quite feeling as cold. some large amounts of cloud in the sky but also some spells of sunshine. monday night will see a fair amount of cloud, some clear breaks and a showers feeding in the from the north. temperature is not quite as low as recent nights, many spots will probably hold just above freezing, thatis probably hold just above freezing, that is because of a change in

without the eight is coming from, simply shifting shelf allowing air to come in from the atlantic. the wind no longer coming from the arctic, so the air a little less code, still a fair amount of cloud and on tuesday. the odd shower, temperatures up to nine or 11 celsius. i similar day across northern ireland and wales, a lot of cloud, some sunny spells. rain pushing in from the north across scotland, temperatures a touch higher than they have been about below part of this time of year still. an area of low pressure dives its away in a company north, another frontal area brings shall be binding in some snow across scotland. signs for something mad about returning again from the south. so after it chose not to be weak, or in talent in the north, turning manager in the

south later. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. 1,228 people have now died from coronavirus in the uk, a rise of 209. deserted roads and empty parks — a top official says the uk could face up to six months of restrictions. overtime, probably over the next six months, we will have a 3—week review, we will see where we're going. we need to keep that lid on and then gradually we will be able to, hopefully, adjust some of the social distancing measures. in the us, a prediction from the leading government expert that coronavirus could kill up to 200,000 americans. as italy grapples with the world's highest death toll from coronavirus,
