it'll be cooler, before temperatures head up again as the week goes on. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: "forget the sunshine, stay at home and save lives". police forces across the uk urge people to use their common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel this weekend. the plea comes as emotional tributes are paid to two nhs nurses who died after contracting coronavirus, both leaving behind three children. americans are told to start wearing face masks in public to stop the spread of coronavirus, but president trump says he won't be following the advice. i think wearing a face mask as a

great president, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, idon‘t know, somehow i don't to see it for myself. labour's next leader will be revealed just before 11 o'clock this morning. we'll look at the challenges that jeremy corbyn‘s successor will face. after days of pressure, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a wage cut of 30% to help ease the financial burden caused by the coronavirus, while club captains look to set up a fund, to support the nhs. climbing 29,000 feet, over four days, using just one set of stairs. we'll hear from the man who's spent his coronavirus lockdown conquering everest in his own home. good morning. there is a little bit of early morning mist and fog out there at the moment, but that will readily lift to a dry day. a little more in the way of cloud and a few isolated showers for scotland and northern ireland. they will have all the details coming up shortly.

good morning. it's saturday the fourth of april. our top story. use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces as we're urged to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, the government says staying indoors is an instruction, "not a request". later this morning we'll be asking one chief constable what they'll be doing to make sure people stick to that instruction. we'll also be speaking to the royal college of nursing about those two young nurses who've died after being testing positive for coronavirus. but first simon jones has this report. these were the scenes in snowdonia two weeks ago where many people ignored government advice. crowds flocked to the coast and parks were busy too. now, with even more stringent curbs on our movements in place, the health secretary says staying at home and protecting lives is not a request but an instruction.

we're set for a warm weekend in some parts of the country. but the disease is still spreading. and we absolutely cannot afford to relax the social distancing measures that we have in place. we cannot relax our discipline now. if we do, people will die. government regulations state everyone must stay at home but you can leave under the following circumstances: for one form of exercise a day — the advice is to say as local as possible. you can go out to shop for basic necessities such as food and medicine, but as infrequently as possible. you're also allowed outside of the house for any medical needs or to provide care and assistance to someone vulnerable. and you can travel to work but only if you cannot work from home. an increasing number of councils are instructing dog—owners to keep their pets on a lead in a parks to avoid any risk of dog—walkers coming into contact with each other.

in the lake district, police are using social media to tell tourists stay away. in some areas, officers have set up roadblocks to question where drivers are going. the police are being told to engage with people and encourage them to return home. enforcement will be a last resort with initial fines of up to £60. well, undoubtedly, this weekend is going to be probably one of the biggest challenges for policing nationally so far. and we know that we're working in an environment that is quite fast moving — the legislation has only been in for a week or so. it's a challenging time for families too who've being cooped up for almost a fortnight. usually, we go to the park and the kids run around. we can't do that now so we're going to stay at home and keep them busy at home. the death of this nurse, aimee o'rourke and a second, areema nasreen, at the hospitals where they worked, sends a clear message according to the nhs. please, i ask you to remember aimee and areema.

please stay at home for them. the government and police are hoping this will be the norm this weekend in these least normal of times. simon jones, bbc news. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus. however, president trump says he will not be wearing one himself, and here in the uk the advice remains that masks do not stop the virus from spreading. the us now has nearly a 250,000 confirmed cases. david willis reports. this president trump has long downplayed the severity of the coronavirus and, once again, made plain he doesn't always take the recommendations of his medical staff seriously. the cdc is advising the use of non—medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary

public health measure. so was volu nta ry. public health measure. so was voluntary. you don't have to do it. they suggest it for a period of time. but this is voluntary. i don't think i'm going to be doing it. the advice to americans to cover their faces in public comes in the light of new evidence that suggests the virus can be transmitted notjust by people who are coughing and sneezing, but those who have it but don't know they have it. why then is the president rejecting the recommendations of his own advisors? sitting in the oval office, behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know, somehow i don't see for myself stop i just... but for more than a quarter of a million americans currently affected, many are in new york, with the death toll for the coronavirus

has now exceeded that of the terrorist attacks of september the 11th. terrorist attacks of september the iith. morgues and hospitals are already inundated and there is a shortage of masks, gowns, and ventilators, with the anticipated surge in coronavirus cases still weeks away. things could turn out to be even worse in new orleans, where the mardi gras celebrations of late february help spread the virus before social distancing measures we re before social distancing measures were introduced. music plays. the death rate there is more than double that of new york and the big easy as just a week away from running out of hospital beds. thank you very much, we'll see you tomorrow. although president trump might not be hitting the call to wear a mask, it seems his wife is taking the recommendation seriously. shortly after husband's press conference, first lady melania trump tweeted this. the administration's own

advisor so close to a quarter of a million people here could die of the coronavirus, conceding the surgeon cases could be considerable, president trump told reporters" i hope zhao rong". david willis, bbc news, los angeles. —— hope they are wrong. china has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember the victims who died of the coronavirus, on a national day of mourning. the outbreak began in hubei province in december. the country has recorded more than 3,000 covid—i9 related deaths. let's get the latest from our china correspondent stephen mcdonell. good morning to you, stephen. an important day there. a marker. yes, flags are at half mast right across china. this is a traditional festival to remember those who have gone before us. but term sweeping day in 2020 has taken on extra significance. it's been declared a national day of mourning. at ten

o'clock local time people stopped whatever they were doing, and that included cars in the street stop moving, drivers sounded their horns, alarms and other sirens were set off right across the country. everyone from the top leadership of the communist party down to ordinary people in the streets bowed their heads in remembrance for those who have died from the coronavirus. in this country where the coronavirus crisis started, officially, there are more than 3300 people who are said to have died, but many analysts think the true figure could be much higher than that, because some who have actually died from this highly infectious disease have been recorded as dying for other health reasons. either way, thousands dead is thousands dead and people here would also be remembering those they know overseas who have died, for that matter. but one thing that

china could also be thinking, as they paused today, is just how much worse things could have been here. it seems like the emergency has stabilised. when we look at the death toll in other countries, there is good reason for people to be thankful here today that the emergency hasn't been a lot of worse thanit emergency hasn't been a lot of worse than it has so far. stephen, for the moment, thank you. the new leader of the labour party will be announced via e—mail today — after a specially—planned conference had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. each of the contenders have pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out alongside details of the number of votes they've received. 0ur political correspondent helen cattjoins us from westminster. helen, it's a challenging time for the new leader to take over, what will be their priority? what an odd time, a peculiar time to ta ke what an odd time, a peculiar time to take over as leader of the party. yes, it is. when this contest started back injanuary, the three contenders left, keir starmer, rebecca locke bradie, rebecca they

knew it would be a tough task. nobody could foresee the circumstances they would be taking over in. i think the very first thing they will see is it will set out their approach to how labour will tackle the coronavirus pandemic. they would expect it is probably for now in that role of critical friend to the government. so broadly supportive of what they are doing by pointing out where there are things they think could or should be done better. they're also taking over as party leaders, would expect to ever it to move very quickly to address anti—semitism, anti—jewish prejudice in the party which has been hugely divisive in recent yea rs. which has been hugely divisive in recent years. who is most likely to be taking on this pretty daunting entry, the clear favourite be taking on this pretty daunting entry, the clearfavourite is be taking on this pretty daunting entry, the clear favourite is sir keir starmer, the shadow breaks a secretary. he has led in the first couple of rounds of the contest after rebecca long—bailey, who are seen as after rebecca long—bailey, who are seen as the more natural ad to jeremy corbyn, if you like, her campaign did not seem to take off in

the same way. but if there is one thing we know about politics, can be unpredictable. it certainly can be. that result coming just before 11 o'clock this morning. 0ne one of the story for you. it is along the lines of what people have been doing at home. climbing mount everest is the dream for many explorers, even those sensibly staying at home. john griffin traded compass and crampons for a staircase and bannister, as he climbed the equivalent of the world's largest mountain, in his own house. duncan kennedy has more. wish me luck. here we go! by. in these times of great uncertainty, life really does have its peaks and troughs. butjohn griffin has peaks higher than most. the total height is 8850 metres. by climbing the equivalent of mount everest using just the stairs in his house. it's just, it was an offhand remark to my

wife, literally, we can ago today in the morning. i'd walked upstairs to the morning. i'd walked upstairs to the bedroom for the fifth time and are said to her" by the time this lockdown is over i will have climbed everest". so he did it for real. 29,000 feet or 41,000 steps. i've got to get to 75% minimum today. six hours got to get to 7596 minimum today. six hours a day for four days. but coming down doesn't count towards the total. just going to sit down for a minute. by day three it was pees on knees for this stairway to hell. my lovely wife suggested sticking frozen peas on it. even stair climbers have sherpas. it is a sponsored effort byjohn to raise money to help people who use food banks. a lexar, played move any mountain. he joins

banks. a lexar, played move any mountain. hejoins home banks. a lexar, played move any mountain. he joins home olympics to full marathons on balconies and in gardens. a sort of social distancing. at the end of this will you be moving to a bungalow? no, we just moved from a bungalow. laughter. through the door. yes! (cheering) john submitted last night his waiting wife and daughter and neighbours. ending the kind of uplifting achievement he hopes will soon put eve ryo ne achievement he hopes will soon put everyone back on top of the world. thank you. duncan kennedy, bbc news. i'm trying to think, how do you top that? you run a marathon, you have somebody climbing everest. it'sjust fantastic a brilliant achievement. well done. time now for a look at the newspaper front pages. the mirror reports the words of the chief nursing 0fficer ruth may, who was speaking after the death

of two nurses who contracted the coronavirus, and she said, quite simply, "please stay at home for them". tighter lockdown restrictions could be on the way if people do not follow the rules this weekend during the warm weather the telegraph reports. it says closing public parks could be one new measure. the guardian is critical of coronavirus testing in the uk, calling it a "shambles". the paper claims the government's pledge to deliver 100,000 tests a day is "unravelling". and the daily mail says the queen will deliver a message of togetherness in her address to the nation tomorrow. the paper says it is only the fifth time the monarch has addressed the country on tv outside of her christmas message. are we doing the inside pages or not? not now. let's save them for later. ok, there are plenty of fun once. let's talk to louise. —— ones. the top headline is even though the

weather is going to be pretty fabulous, as we step into spring and embrace it, lots of people have been told to stay told to embrace it, lots of people have been told to stay at home of course but if you look at the window —— we can look at the window at the very least. you can open the window and baskin least. you can open the window and bask in the sunshine. we have all had the central heating on for several months now and i think this weekend will be able to turn it off and leave it off, at least through the weekend, because it is going to get warmer but a little bit windier as well. wind though is going to be the key feature as to why it is going to get warmer because high pressure is drifting off into the new continent. this low is pushing in but it is dragging in a southerly wind. although we could see gusts in excess of 40 miles an hour on exposed west facing coasts, it is coming from a warm source, all the way up from spain, and coming from a warm source, all the way upfrom spain, and it coming from a warm source, all the way up from spain, and it means temperatures are set to climb throughout the weekend. so for the here and now we have some patchy mist and fog around and it should

readily lift and it is a fairly straightforward day for us weather forecasters out there because the cloud should break up and we should see sunny spells particularly across england and wales. a fairly uniform afternoon. a little more cloud through northern ireland and through scotland. a few isolated showers here, not quite as warm, 9—11, widely across england and wales midteens, may picking closer to 16 degrees. —— peking. through the night we keep the clear sky because it isa night we keep the clear sky because it is a southerly wind and a warm source it will not be a cold night and the southerly wind will break up cloud further north to a fairly quiet night to come. 0vernight lows co mforta ble quiet night to come. 0vernight lows comfortable for getting a good nights sleep, 5—7. we start off tomorrow morning with lots of sunshine around. the exception with this area of low pressure is out to the west. here it is a little more tricky. the winds will strengthen, gusting in excess of 40 miles an hour and gusting in excess of 40 miles an hourand a gusting in excess of 40 miles an hour and a little more cloud into northern ireland, the western fringes of scotland by the end of the day but elsewhere plenty of sunshine around and yes it will be a breezy affair but it is coming from

a southerly direction so temperatures are expected to respond. so we could see mid—to—high teens across england and wales and maybe sheltered eastern parts of scotla nd maybe sheltered eastern parts of scotland peaking at 20 degrees there, in one or places in the south—east corner. it is worth bearing in mind if, like me, you are a hayfever suffering with tree pollen at this time of year, it is high in the south—east, moderate to low elsewhere. that is it. back to you too. louise, thanks very much. what is it? 18 minutes past six. i imagine lots of people are watching films. lots and lots of films at the moment. good and bad. so if you want to know what is good or what mark kermode thinks, you can stream things now. let's find out on the film review. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode.

now, with cinemas closed and everybody being urged to stay indoors due to coronavirus, new films are still opening in the uk through streaming services being made available for home viewing. so, for example, last week, the surrealist thriller vivarium, which was going to have a theatrical opening, became available exclusively on streaming services. wait, no, no. i don't this isn't the right way. yes, this is the way we came in. is it? did wejust do some kind of loop? hello? i have never heard such silence. jesse eisenberg and imogen poots are the couple looking for a perfect dream home who find themselves trapped in a nightmarish, stepford—style suburban development called yonder, where they are forced

to raise an alien child. like an extended edition of the twilight zone, vivarium takes a single idea and stretches it out to feature length, but it does so with enough wit and invention to keep audiences entertained, engrossed and a little bit freaked out. what is that cloud in the shape of? a cloud. yes. another cloud—shaped cloud. all the clouds here are shaped like clouds. perfect. sickening. little clouds. should i hit it? no, hit her! this week's new streaming releases include four kids and it, an adaptation of jacqueline wilson's 2012 novel, itself inspired by e nesbit‘s classic 1902 novel, five children and it.

this thing gives wishes. one wish a day, but there is consequences. michael caine provides the voice of the magical creature who can provide one wish for a day and is discovered by the titular kids, each wrestling with their own personal issues. matthew goode and paula patton are the single parents planning to make their two families one, to the horror of their respective children, while a villainous russell brand chews the scenery, provided in eye—catching fashion by ireland doubling as cornwall. well, that is extraordinary. you. you, don't move. brilliant. oh, and one of the rest of you. well, better be getting back to the old mansion! do let me know if you need... ..anything. yeah!

that would go there as a noun, wouldn't it? anything. any—thing! having apparently never been out of print since its first publication, the original novel has spawned several screen adaptations, including the much—loved ‘90s bbc tv series and a somewhat underrated 2004 film adaptation shot in the isle of man and featuring eddie izzard is the voice of it. this film of jacqueline wilson's modern update doesn't have the charm of those productions. what it does have is a hint of the real world issues that wilson's books have always tackled, a great score and a likeably wrinkly sand fairy, to which caine lends deadpan vocal appeal. you also get to hear russell brand use the phrase "ethnically insensitive erotica" and see him run around with his bottom on fire, which kinda sums up the film. four kids and it is now available on sky cinema. at the other end of the spectrum, this week also sees the streaming release of the whalebone box, the latest fantastically inventive art house production from british

maverick andrew kotting. i asked him where the whalebone came from and he said it came from a washed—up whale after the whale had been smashed up as a result of a storm. the box in question was made of the bones of a whale that washed up on the isle of harris in the outer hebrides many years ago. kotting's film follows two journeys — one in which psycho—geographer iain sinclair and photographer anonymous bosch join andrew on a pilgrimage to take the box back to harris. in the other, we venture into the dreams of eden kotting, artist and muse and daughter of andrew. there is nothing mainstream about andrew kotting's films, which are more like a cut—up collage of sounds and vision, throwing together ideas and places and finding strange connections between them. ever since his breakthrough feature gallivant in the mid—‘90s, many of his films have involved an element of a journey or a quest, exploring the landscape of a virtual idea through the physical landscape of britain, with all its history and folklore and magic.

there really is no—one else making movies like these, although you can see the legacy of derekjarman in his work and find a kindred spirit in the home—made movies of cornish film—maker mark jenkin, who recently won a bafta for bait. like bait, the whalebone box isn't for everyone, but if you are looking for something genuinely creative, adventurous and inspiring, you will love it. it is available exclusively on the streaming service mubi. sounds really nice. that sounds gorgeous! keep going, keep going! # looking from the window above. # like a story of love. go on! # can you hear me? # came back only yesterday and moving farther away. # want you near me. # all i needed was

the love you gave. # love you gave. # all i needed for another day. # and all i ever knew, only you. also available to stream is military wives, the feel—good film from the full monty director peter cattaneo, which had a brief but successful run in cinemas just before the current closures and which has now been made available on all premium on—demand platforms for a limited period. so... no, no, no, go ahead. thanks very much, lisa. that's lovely. this reminds me of when my parents got divorced. they speak arabic. it's also worth checking out the perfect candidate, the latest film from haifaa al—mansour which is available through modern films

and curzon home cinema. you may remember a few years ago, i raved about wadjda, the ground—breaking film from al—mansour about a young girl desperate to buy a bike — a taboo—breaking symbol of freedom. the perfect candidate finds al—mansour returning to saudi for another tale of female empowerment, this time focusing on a doctor who winds up running for local election in an attempt to get the road in front of her hospital fixed. early on in the film, we see a male patient refusing to be treated by a female doctor — a hostility that's multiplied as maryam becomes a public figure. but despite the potentially tough subject matter, the perfect candidate is a joy to watch, not least because of the regular, vibrant bursts of live music which punctuate the drama, and because of the defiance of our central character, who definitely gets my vote.

it's worth noting, too, that if you stream the perfect candidate through the modern films website, you can donate a percentage of the profits to your choice of one of several independent cinemas. but if streaming isn't your bag and you prefer good, old—fashioned disc technology,

then my dvd choice this week is a real treat. mr blanc, i know who you are. i read your profile in the new yorker. i found it delightful. ijust buried my 85—year—old father, who committed suicide. why are you here? i'm here at the behest of a client. who? i cannot say, but let me assure you this, my presence will be...ornamental. you will find me a respectful, quiet, passive observer...of the truth. rian johnson earned an original screenplay nomination for knives out, a deliciously twisty satirical thriller that puts a new spin on old agatha christie riffs. daniel craig is the gentleman detective with an outrageous southern accent, investigating the death of a famous crime writer whose family are now fighting over his inheritance.

a star—studded cast includes michael shannon, christopher plummer, ana de armas and jamie lee curtis, the latter of whom, in my opinion, also deserved an oscar nomination. no—one move until we figure this all out. what? can we ask why? has something changed? no. no, it hasn't changed, or no, we can't ask? mr stevens, you may continue. knives out is out on dvd now. it's also available to download. that's it. thanks for watching, and i'll be back next week with more home viewing releases. you want to ask this guy some questions? all right, what is this? what's this arrangement? mr drysdale. csi kfc? he laughs sarcastically. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc

news. use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces as we're urged to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, there are fears that scenes like this could be repeated, with people ignoring advice to stay at home. yesterday, it was revealed a further 684 people had died with the virus in the uk injust 24 hours. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus. however, president trump says he will not be wearing one himself, and here in the uk the advice remains that masks do not stop the virus from spreading. the us now has nearly a quarter of a million confirmed cases. in the uk the advice as the masks do not the virus spreading. sitting in the oval 0ffice behind this great resolute s,

wearing a face mask as a great president, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, idon't know, somehow i don't set for myself. china, where the coronavirus pandemic began, has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember those who have died. people across the country stopped and bowed their heads to mourn the victims, as sirens and horns sounded. china has officially recorded more than 3,000 deaths since december as a result of the outbreak. almost four months after jeremy corbyn announced he'd be stepping down as leader of the labour party, his replacement will be announced this morning. rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy, and keir starmer have each pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out via e—mail alongside details of the number of votes each has received. the new deputy leader will also be announced. there may be very few reasons for getting dressed up at the moment given that most of us are staying at home but australians have started

a new trend — and it's catching on. the feedback is that many people aren't getting dressed as smartly as they would normally. they are working from home. sloppiness the thing. there is a new trend that has caught on amongst australians. in an attempt to bring some much—needed light relief to the stresses of lockdown and not "waste" the opportunity to have a little fun, people have started dressing up to take their bins out. charlie, icu in that. they are videoing how they take the bins are —— i see you. that was a unicorn. that was in emea. that looks like a skittles. —— emu. that was in emea. that looks like a skittles. -- emu. it makes it something more of an occasion. skittles. -- emu. it makes it something more of an occasionm skittles. -- emu. it makes it something more of an occasion. it is a lwa ys something more of an occasion. it is always a job where you think they need to be done and i don't fancy

doing it, you do it. something tells me that would be right up the mike busheu me that would be right up the mike bushell street. you have been doing that for years, mike. i have fox ones, news ones, i tended to think that might be quite suitable. it is an idea to brighten the day. i don't know. i don't think my wife would let me. we are going to talk about the premier league. they were very productive yesterday. firstly, premier league clubs are to ask players to take a 30% pay cut, in order to protectjobs, during the coronavirus lock down, while club captains are also talking about setting up a charitable fund to help the nhs. the league also says the season won't resume until "it's safe and appropriate to do so". 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss has the story. it is the richest leg and foot ball,

but with sport in the shutdown it seems even the premier league's millionaires are now paying a price. the club is facing what they called substantial and continuing losses, they said they consult loss —— players about a combination of different —— deductions and referrals amounting to around 30% of the annual total renumeration. clubs including tottenham and newcastle announced they were using the government's fellow scheme for nonplaying staff, while continuing to pay their players in full. we now need to see them having a very serious and quick talk with the players, sit down with their representatives and come to an agreement across the premier league and also potentially across the whole of foot ball in order to ensure that the burden on the taxpayer is as low as possible, but also they protected the smaller clu bs. also they protected the smaller clubs. well, football in england at the highest is renowned for its riches. here at manchester united,

for example, revenues last season we re for example, revenues last season were a record £620 million. but as a sport with such wealth, football's response to the current crisis as come under scrutiny. it is understood the premier league captains, led by the'sjordan henderson, are discussing giving money to charity in the league itself has given £20 million to the nhs. some believe the criticism of football has been harsh. there was a little bit of a backlash to the premier league players who obviously are not going to come out and say anything individually at the moment because, you know, they are relying on the union to speak for them and obviously that has happened today so by the premier league had hoped to return to playing at the start of may, but now say that won't happen. instead they will have the actions of the pits can provide a positive. andy swiss, bbc news. it isn't just football, that's been rallying to spread funds around, to help their sport survive. england's cricketers have given half a million, to the ecb and other good causes, to help the grassroots

and county game survive. and the lawn tennis association are putting aside up, to 20 million to help venues, coaches, officials and players through the pandemic. that follows this week's cancellation of wimbledon and all the grass court season. now, while many premier league clubs have been reaching out, to help vulnerable fans during the coronavirus pandemic, southampton have taken it a step further, by feeding fans in need. over the next 12 weeks their club chefs, will prepare thousands of nutritious meals, normally reserved for the players and special guests, and these will be delivered across the community. the first ones went out yesterday. this at southampton's samaria station it looks like an almost day four scheffer zoltan and his team, busy cooking up range of nutritious

dishes. but now these meals are not for fans dishes. but now these meals are not forfans in dishes. but now these meals are not for fans in the dishes. but now these meals are not forfans in the hospitality dishes. but now these meals are not for fans in the hospitality suite ahead of kick off, orjust for the players, they are to be frozen and then deliver to those people in the community who most need help while they stay—at—home. community who most need help while they stay-at-home. it is busy, very, very busy. but, to be honest, we are chefs, we can't sit around for a long time. so we are back —— glad to be back in the kitchens. some of these dishes, we have been feeding these dishes, we have been feeding the first team as well, so some of the first team as well, so some of the dishes are from the training ground. so fingers crossed people will love it. 1000 meals a week will be prepared by the six chefs working nine hours a day for the next three months at least. and then with the help of the sounds foundation and fascia, which is the uk's national network who helps distribute food at like this, the dishes will be taken to places like schools, which are already handing out lunches to pa rents. already handing out lunches to parents. it will mean that these families can have a nutritious meal at lunchtime and take away the stress of having to worry about how

they will feed their families and their income has literally gone to zero overnight. it's the families who are plumbers and painters and decorators and hairdressers and people like that who, their diaries have just emptied and have got no income and of literally got no money. one such family, also in southampton, are the hendersons. they don't normally qualify for free school meals, but due to the coronavirus the situation has changed. so how will it help you? the mills have kind of really helped, because obviously with the virus and everything that's going on, my husband has had to stop working now, so he is on 80% pay, so he is on this money, and obviously we have got to feed two very hungry children while they are not at school —— meals. he is very excited. you're going to have the same food as the football players, yeah? lots of vegetables, yeah. also receiving

dishes cooked up by sultan and his tea m dishes cooked up by sultan and his team will be old isolated people who may be can't get along to london clu bs may be can't get along to london clubs at the moment, also charity such as the ymca and groups that look after young, vulnerable adults who maybe find themselves homeless. as well as providing the kitchens and the staff to prepare the meals, the club ‘s are also spending £50,000 on the ingredients. while first team players, especially those like the international who grew up in hampshire knows how important this is for the club and community. football clu bs this is for the club and community. football clubs are kind of the hub of the city. everybody thinks about it, everybody wants to be involved with it. to reach out to those people means a lot because there's a lot of good things, a lot of bad things about football clubs, to see a club doing something like this is truly special. we have always been really active in the community so we do lots of work in schools and lots of work with older people and vulnerable adults throughout the year. in this really feels like it's a time when football clubs, i

believe, like ourselves, should be coming to the fore and supporting their community, people come and support us on a regular basis and actually this is a time to get back. and now that he is not at the moment serving up goals for southampton, james has been spending some of the time at home learning to cook himself. at the moment it is one of those things to keep me occupied. yeah, i've enjoyed it. you never know, i'm overdoing some of the cooking as well. what is your signature dish? i'm not that experienced yet. they have made some cod and vegetable dish last night. but it went down well, so i'm happy. for sultan and his team the race is now on. so often in the background on most days, now they find themselves upfront, the first team in southampton's effort to feed the community. the people of southhampton are never going to be so well fed. nutritious meals that keep the players going. i love the fact that the little lad was going to eat the vegetables because that's what the players get.

always set by good examples. led by good examples. thank you very much. people looking for things to do. watching tv, catching up on things. colin patterson has been taking a look for us this morning. coronavirus has led to cancellation after cancellation, glastonbury‘s gone, weeping after cancellation, glastonbury‘s gone, we ' after cancellation, glastonbury‘s gone, weeping over wimbledon, no points will be given out at eurovision. but it's the start of the school easter holidays and this weekend there's to have free front room fine, he is our guide on how to make it happen. starting with a trip to edinburgh zoo, one of a number around the uk whose webcams mean their animals can still be seen. no sign of social distancing from these penguins. it's been absolutely amazing, the amount of people who have gone on. we have had over 5

million throughout march. behind me the penguins are always on the go. so if you want to watch something thatis so if you want to watch something that is always moving, going in the pool that is always moving, going in the pool, on their nest, collecting stones, which is exactly what they're doing just now, the penguins is probably your best bet. or what about a visit to stonehenge? spinal tap memorably saying it's where the moon and fries with a dragon's case. well, now you can check it through with the stonehenge skyscape. this isa qusair with the stonehenge skyscape. this is a qusair camera that is mounted near stonehenge and it gives the impression of being within stonehenge. stephen doheny website any time of day or night and you can see see what this guy looks like in real time —— so you can go on the website. disney's theme parks are shut all around the globe, but there is still a way to ride the rollercoaster tha nks is still a way to ride the rollercoaster thanks to an unofficial youtube channel. and things like this will be happening and living rooms all across the country this weekend. scream if you

wa nt to country this weekend. scream if you want to go faster! screaming. the pa rt want to go faster! screaming. the part where it became all black was like a big drop and then we were like a big drop and then we were like going sideways into a big black hole. it was super scary. i thought i was going to fall off of it. if you are looking for something rather more cultural, the royal shakespeare company may have had to close its theatres, but 17 of its production are free to watch online for 30 days, including king lear. without our grace, our love... which, appropriately, shakespeare wrote while quarantined during the great plague. if you are thinking about your future education, swansea university are actually having a virtual open day today, i wonder if they will virtually get the rugby tea m they will virtually get the rugby team to behave badly in the virtual

stu d e nts team to behave badly in the virtual students union. 0r team to behave badly in the virtual students union. or if you fancy meeting some people from the other side of the globe, why notjoin in a virtual branch complete with guest speakers being hosted in the usa tomorrow. also becoming extremely popular virtual baking lessons, online pub quizzes, i was second last on one on monday, it still hurts, and there is the rise and rise of the web workout. oh, i'm feeling adventurous. i'm a beginner. let's lift their shoulders up a little bit. ice is low and controlled. mr motivator is holding classes every day. we have given you some more right here. enjoy your weekend. colin patterson, bbc news, in the living room. i love that line. he said a came second last and i'm still smarting. it is very frustrating. it was probably just it is very frustrating. it was probablyjust one question as well or that half point that pipped him.

this weekend we have been told to stay indoors to keep us all safe to prevent the spread of coronavirus. 0bviously take that advice and take it seriously. but we want to do, from you, as find out what are you going to do? it is going to be sunny. we will be talking to willie —— louise in a moment. sunny. we will be talking to willie -- louise in a moment. so far what we have seen, and very kindly be lots of people sharing stuff with us, people are getting very creative about ways to spend time because one of the in a way, one of the glorious things this time has expanded so inns are not rushed. take your time! whatever it is you can spend more time, albeit within certain confines. we saw people dressing up creatively just to take the confines. we saw people dressing up creativelyjust to take the bins up but has to a creative way to enjoy the sunshine if you are lucky enough to have a garden or a decent sized garden or a balcony but even if you

do not, how are you going to enjoy your sunshine? through your window! you can sunbake through the window. louise! you can tell us how louise! you can tell us you can sunbake through the window. louise! you can tell us how much sunbaking we can do! you will be able to step outside and enjoy some sunshine, albeit very briefly this weekend, but just take sunshine, albeit very briefly this weekend, butjust take a look at what is happening at the moment. have to say the weather what your pictures are beautiful to illustrate the picture for us and people are taking weather what your pictures from the view from their window, inside, so it is misty this morning. this is a cross on the isle of wight as you can see, and thank you jane for sending this in, this is the view of her garden, and the mist and patchy fog that we have got around at the moment will lift and yes it will be dry and sunny and may not be the way we would like to experience this spring warmth but we can just enjoy it, can't we? by the looking out the window, opening the window and enjoying it because a southerly wind is going to drive the warmth across the country and it will be quite windy though through this

weekend and there is an area of low pressure that is creeping in from the west. but because of the southerly flow it is a warm source and it is coming all the way up from africa and spain and so you really will notice the difference when you are looking outside. and if you do step out for a brief spell of exercise, well, it does look as though the cloud will break and we will see sunny spells coming through across england and wales. northern ireland and scotland quite a lot of cloud around this morning and if few isolated showers but even here, not as cold as it has been. 9—11 perhaps for scotland and northern ireland. further south, a maximum of midteens and baby highs of 16. —— further south, a maximum of midteens and baby highs of16. —— may further south, a maximum of midteens and baby highs of 16. —— may be highs. we keep the southerly wind overnight, it will be a feature and it will drive the cloud away to help break it up so generally across the country we will have clearing skies. not too cold, overnight lows sitting around 4— seven so first and tomorrow morning it is going to be dry, settled and sunny pretty much on the word go. we will see a little more cloud out of the west through

the area of low pressure and here in northern ireland and maybe western fringes of scotland we will see some showery outbreaks of rain. winds will strengthen, because the gusts in excess of 40 miles an hour so it will be a noticeable wind generally across the country but we will continue to see some sunshine coming through and because it is a southerly wind, if you have not already heard, it is going to feel a little warmer on sunday. we're going to see widely temperatures into midteens but we could see highs of 20 degrees. but is in the south—east corner. it does mean however we are starting to get to pollen season, tree pollen at the moment, and it is going to going tree pollen at the moment, and it is going to be high in the south—east. back to you. thank you, louise. see you later. and now annita mcveigh has more information and health advice on the coronavirus outbreak, in this special programme.

hello and welcome to this abc news special. i annita mcveigh. stay with us as we special. i annita mcveigh. stay with us as we share the latest information on health advice and reports about the coronavirus. we will show you exactly what scientists think of the virus covid—19 is and ask how close are we toa covid—19 is and ask how close are we to a vaccine? and a reminder that there is further advice and information about the pandemic on the bbc news website. but first, this coronavirus may be dominating headlines around the world and changing the lives of hundreds of millions of people. but what exactly do we know about covid—19? and how close are we to a vaccine? the bbc‘s jim reed reports. sarscovtwo is the technical name for the virus that causes covid—19. it is part of the coronavirus family, one of at least six that can affect humans. in the amazing position today where we can

get the genetic code of a virus really quickly and it turns out this particular virus is very closely related to that and pangolin viruses. —— bat. 0ne related to that and pangolin viruses. —— bat. one of the theories is that it could have spread through one of those species to humans. the virus is made up ofjust 30 genes, compared with 20,000 for humans. it mutates or changes over time, allowing scientists to draw a family tree, showing what different strains of come from and how they have spread. because of the slight shift, slight mutations that the virus accumulates we can actually track which one came from china versus which one came from china versus which one came from china versus which one came from the west coast, for instance, that are coming into new york and so on. so that is what the biologists are looking at right now, to track the virus. the virus typically enters the human body through the nose or mouth. though spikes on the outside grab onto a protein called a stoop which is

common on cells in the throat and lungs. most covid—19 infections cause a fever is our immune system fights to clear the virus from a body —— ace two. fights to clear the virus from a body -- ace two. essentially viruses in that phase of infection hijack the host cell, turn it into a virus— making factory, releasing new virus particles which are then free to infect other neighbouring cells within the same host or, of course, if they are exhaled or coughed or sneezed out, are then able to infect a new person. it is not unusual for a new person. it is not unusual for a virus to cause different symptoms and different people. it could depend on age, genetics and the amount you are exposed to. so you always get this wide spectrum of responses to infections. and covert is no different to so we know that age is one of the key factors from whether you are more likely to suffer from severe disease —— covid. this map shows eight different strains of the virus are now

circulating quickly across the world. that is partly because virtually no—one is immune. it may also be that a proportion of those infected show very mild symptoms but can still pass the virus onto others. so there are a few things that are going for this virus to be very successful. 0ne that are going for this virus to be very successful. one big one is the fa ct very successful. one big one is the fact that there seems to be an incubation period between the time you become infected and you start shedding the virus to the time you feel very sick. so it is really impossible to catch those types of people, unless we implement massive screening for the virus. biotech and drug companies across the world are now working on vaccines and treatments stop one promising target is those spikes on the outside of the virus itself. i have a colleague at the university college london who is using the biggest supercomputer in europe to search through old libraries of drugs which have already been tried and tested by other viruses and other infections,

just to see if one of them has the ability to interfere with the spikes on the coronavirus. in the longer term, there is the promise of a vaccine which should be able to stop us vaccine which should be able to stop us getting the disease in the first place. such testing and manufacturing takes time. even if scientists are successful, it is unlikely to be rolled out widely until sometime next year. in china, where the virus originated, authorities there say they now have got a authorities there say they now have gota grip authorities there say they now have got a grip on the outbreak. it is widely believed beijing is hard to sing the power of its sophisticated surveillance state —— harnessing the power of its sophisticated surveillance state to monitor and control people to stop the spread of the disease. the use of mobile phone data has proven particularly effective and now some of the techniques are being copied by a growing number of countries around the world, including singapore, south korea and iran. so how can surveillance state tools help in a pandemic and what are the potential pitfalls for privacy and freedom? cyber reporterjoe tidy reply ——

reports. it all starts with this, a national id card. you need one to pretty much do anything in china. from buying a mobile phone using any app, everything you do leave the data trail. went back to your id. in areas on lockdown from location data is being used to monitor movement and enforce cu rfews. is being used to monitor movement and enforce curfews. if a patient is meant to be in quarantine, geolocation pickings on the phone can alert authorities if they stray out of their homes. phone location data is also being used up exactly where that person visited the two weeks before being diagnosed. a combination of human and automated computer analysis work out who they may have infected. if they went on a train and got too close to other commuters, and text messages sent out through one of the major apps, alleging those at risk. every person is being assigned a coloured qr code depending on the risk they pose. green, no risk. 0range, they have

entered a potential virus hotspot. and read, if they have tested positive to the virus and could still be contagious. none of this cyber surveillance would be any good that the chinese estate's strict enforcement teams too. police and volu nteers enforcement teams too. police and volunteers have literally manned the exits of apartment blocks to keep places on lockdown. but in countries where these data surveillance powers have been brought in to help deal with coronavirus, some people are worried about the long—term. coronavirus, some people are worried about the long-term. my name is adam schwartz. i am a senior lawyer at the electronic frontier foundation. there is a great concern that when governments get new powers in a crisis, government never gives those powers away, even when the crisis ends, so for example, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the united states created vast new surveillance powers and 19 years later those powers are still very much in the hands of the

us government. adam and others also have questions aboutjust how much ofa have questions aboutjust how much of a difference this data surveillance can make and if it is worth it. what we are basically saying to governments around the world is before you unveil or, you know, unleash a brand new mass surveillance power, it is necessary for governments to come forward and really public health professionals to come forward and show that these technologies would actually address the crisis. striking the delicate balance between privacy and security is an age—old problem for governments and the public. but perhaps never in history has the dilemma been more pressing and more life—threatening. dilemma been more pressing and more life-threatening. now many of us are facing the challenges of dealing with coronavirus. and also dealing with coronavirus. and also dealing with very different working conditions. you'll have noticed the way you are receiving the news has become very different. not least that the programme you're watching now did not exist two weeks ago. the

bbc‘s median editor amol rajan is looking at the challenges that news and media industries are facing. that evening. good evening.. i headlines for you, britain's and devices crisis... in a crisis, coronavirus, it is horrible, pandemic, especially one in the information age, and sanitiser, covid—19, trusted news becomes a precious commodity. social distancing. for which there is high demand. coronavirus. britain has a range of regulated public service broadcasters doing their best to produce world—class journalism. ratings for new programmes across the channels are soaring with many presenters casting from home. published data showing that transport use across the country... but actually producing broadcast news is exceptionally hard in a global pandemic. i'mjust news is exceptionally hard in a global pandemic. i'm just going to script a line about northern ireland there... innovation is the only solution. there is plenty of it about. recording. it only covers

england and northern ireland... moresi is at home in manchester, working on a bbc news piece with her cameraman and editor who is nearly 30 miles in derbyshire. the nhs scheme only covers england. news reports of the result of teamwork between correspondence, produces, camera operators and studio editors. 0h, camera operators and studio editors. oh, and children too, who can make their presence felt in correspondence work from home. what are your thoughts? keeping staff and contribute to safe is a priority and video interview has become the norm of late. giving two metres away from interviewees can be hard but boom might allow sound to be captured safely in high—quality. might allow sound to be captured safely in high-quality. good morning, it is seven o'clock. the headlines... it is notjust television, kitchens and front lounges have been converted into makeshift radio studios lipase of the today programme. this is the bbc‘s davidson leader using a duvet to improve sound quality. furnishings can absorb sound and reduce echo. to a much greater

extent reduce echo. to a much greater exte nt tha n reduce echo. to a much greater extent than is generally acknowledged, journalism is the product of a particular energy, camaraderie and culture within a newsroom , camaraderie and culture within a newsroom, like that of the bbc. it is hard to replicate that when, like these days, the keyword is you are such two metres apart. this place is usually densely packed but like millions of others also facing logistical challenges, most editors and producers are now working from home. i am working on a piece with david hockney... such as skype and zoom are therefore replacing days —— daily meetings. what do you think about using the clip that you have already laid down? we can do that. casting is always a technical adventure but right now, more than ever. amol rajan in central london, working with producer elizabeth in kent and editorjonathan in north london. bbc news. that is it for now but before we go we thought we would share some of the striking images from the last week from around the world is the coronavirus continues to upend the lives of hundreds of

millions of people. and reminder you can keep up to date with all of the latest information on the lockdown in your area and your country on our website. thanks for watching. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: "forget the sunshine, stay at home and save lives". police forces across the uk urge people to use their common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel this weekend. the plea comes as emotional tributes are paid to two nhs nurses who died after contracting coronavirus, each leaving behind three children. americans are told to start wearing

face masks in public to stop the spread of coronavirus, but president trump says he won't be following the advice. i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know, somehow i don't to see it for myself. labour's next leader will be revealed just before 11 o'clock this morning. we'll look at the challenges that jeremy corbyn's successor will face. good morning. after days of pressure, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a wage cut, of 30 per—cent to help, ease the financial burden caused by the coronavirus, while club captains look to set up a fund, to support the nhs. climbing 29,000 feet using one set of stairs. we'll hear from the man who's conquered everest in his own home.

good morning. it's saturday april 4. our top story: use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces as we're urged to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, the government says staying indoors is an instruction, "not a request". later this morning we'll be asking one chief constable what they'll be doing to make sure people stick to that instruction. we'll also be speaking to the royal college of nursing about those two young nurses who've died after testing positive for coronavirus. but first simon jones has this report. these were the scenes in snowdonia two weeks ago where many people ignored government advice. crowds flocked to the coast and parks were busy too. now, with even more stringent curbs on our movements in place, the health secretary says staying at home and protecting lives is not a request but an instruction. we're set for a warm weekend in some

parts of the country. but the disease is still spreading. and we absolutely cannot afford to relax the social distancing measures that we have in place. we cannot relax our discipline now. if we do, people will die. government regulations state everyone must stay at home but you can leave under the following circumstances: for one form of exercise a day — the advice is to say as local as possible. you can go out to shop for basic necessities such as food and medicine, but as infrequently as possible. you're also allowed outside of the house for any medical needs or to provide care and assistance to someone vulnerable. and you can travel to work but only if you cannot work from home. an increasing number of councils are instructing dog—owners to keep their pets on a lead in a parks to avoid any risk of dog—walkers coming into contact with each other. in the lake district, police are using social media to tell tourists stay away. in some areas, officers have set up

roadblocks to question where drivers are going. the police are being told to engage with people and encourage them to return home. enforcement will be a last resort with initial fines of up to £60. well, undoubtedly, this weekend is going to be probably one of the biggest challenges for policing nationally so far. and we know that we're working in an environment that is quite fast moving — the legislation has only been in for a week or so. it's a challenging time for families too who've being cooped up for almost a fortnight. usually, we go to the park and the kids run around. we can't do that now so we're going to stay at home and keep them busy at home. the death of this nurse, aimee 0'rourke and a second, areema nasreen, at the hospitals where they worked, sends a clear message according to the nhs. please, i ask you to remember aimee and areema. please stay at home for them.

the government and police are hoping this will be the norm this weekend in these least normal of times. simon jones, bbc news. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus. we should be clear that here in the uk, the advice remains that people do not need to wear one. the us now has nearly a quarter—of—a—million confirmed cases, as david willis reports. president trump has long downplayed the severity of the coronavirus and, once again, made plain he doesn't always take the recommendations of his medical staff seriously. the cdc is advising the use of non—medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measure. so it's voluntary. you don't have to do it. they suggest it for a period of time. but this is voluntary. i don't think i'm

going to be doing it. the advice to americans to cover theirfaces in public comes in the light of new evidence that suggests the virus can be transmitted notjust by people who are coughing and sneezing, but by those who have it but don't know they have it. why then is the president rejecting the recommendations of his own advisors? sitting in the oval office, behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know, somehow i don't see for myself. i just... but for more than a quarter of a million americans currently affected, many are in new york, with the death toll for the coronavirus has now exceeded that of the terrorist attacks of september 11. morgues and hospitals are already inundated and then there's a shortage of masks, gowns, and ventilators, with the anticipated surge in coronavirus cases still weeks away.

things could turn out to be even worse in new orleans, where the mardi gras celebrations of late february helped spread the virus before social distancing measures were introduced. music plays the death rate there is more than double that of new york and the big easy as just a week away from running out of hospital beds. thank you very much, we'll see you tomorrow. although president trump might not be heeding the call to wear a mask, it seems his wife is taking the recommendation seriously. shortly after her husband's press conference, first lady melania trump tweeted: the administration's own advisor say close to a quarter of a million people here could die of the coronavirus. conceding the surge cases could be considerable, president trump told reporters "i hope they're wrong." david willis, bbc news, los angeles.

china, where the coronavirus pandemic began, has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember those who have died. people across the country stopped and bowed their heads to mourn the victims, as sirens and horns sounded. china has officially recorded more than 3,000 deaths since december as a result of the outbreak. meanwhile, in europe more than 40,000 people have died from the virus, with spain reporting more than 900 deaths in 24 hours. 0ur correspondent has been monitoring the situation from berlin, and hejoins us now, a very good morning to you, damien. tell us a bit and more about the overall picture. the numbers, charlie, are still growing, u nfortu nately. we charlie, are still growing, unfortunately. we are seeing around

about 120,000 confirmed unfortunately. we are seeing around about 120 , 000 confirmed cases unfortunately. we are seeing around about 120,000 confirmed cases in italy and spain. those countries still have death tolls are still rising, between 12000 and 14,000. so terrible numbers, but the hope is that that curve is starting to flatten out. we're also seeing in germany quite positive news from officials who were saying that, in fa ct, officials who were saying that, in fact, the measures, the restrictions of the past two weeks are really starting to pay. angela merkel is now out of quarantine. she gave a message released last night saying that what we are now seeing are some quite positive numbers, still the numbers are growing, however not as fast as before. so we are starting to see some sign of positivity in europe. but of course across northern europe in particular we will have quite good weather this week and very much facing the same sort of challenges we are seeing in britain, where authorities in france, germany, saying please stay at do not travel, police will be out checking as well, particularly in

france, living some quite hefty fines if people contravene those rules. damien, thank you very much. the new leader of the labour party will be announced via e—mail today — after a specially—planned conference had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. each of the contenders have pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out alongside details of the number of votes they've received. 0ur political correspondent helen cattjoins us from westminster. helen, good to see you. an interesting time to take over as leader of the labour party now. yes, it isa leader of the labour party now. yes, it is a bit. when these three candidates are signed up to this back at the beginning ofjanuary, they knew, keir starmer, rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy, they knew they were facing a political challenge. they would be taking on a party rest of the back of its worst election defeat for decades. it had struggled internally with issues like anti—semitism, anti—jewish prejudice over recent years quite publicly, so they knew they would be

taking ona publicly, so they knew they would be taking on a challange, but nobody could have foreseen the wider context in this unprecedented situation in which they would be taking over as leader. so whoever wins, pretty obviously the first thing they are going to have to do is set out exactly how labour plans to tackle the coronavirus pandemic under them stop at expected for the moment at least to be a continuation of being a critical friend, moment at least to be a continuation of being a criticalfriend, so being broadly supported by pointing out for the government things where they think they are perhaps not doing as well as they could be. so were —— they will be that. it doesn't mean they will be that. it doesn't mean the politics will go away. we would expect whoever it is to be pretty quickly to address that issue of anti—semitism, in particular. so who is likely to get this daunting entry? the favourite is a sir keir starmer, he has let any of us couple of rounds. rebecca long—bailey, seen as the more natural air tojeremy corbyn, her campaign did not take off perhaps in quite the way as was expected. but of course politics is i was unpredictable so we can't say anything for sure —— is always

unpredictable. thank you. joining us ahead of the announcement are labour mps tracy brabin, who's backing lisa nandy, and jon ashworth, who's supporting keir starmer. tracy, we will come in a moment to the extraordinary time in which this is happening. but just the extraordinary time in which this is happening. butjust sat us out, who are you supporting any race? well, very early on a nominated keir starmer. i really do believe, we don't know yet, it is all still to play for. it is 10:45am we find out, a nominated him because i really do believe in the three and half years since they have been mp there has been a lot of tension in the party andi been a lot of tension in the party and i think keir starmer someone who can bring both sides our party together to look to the future. bear in mind we are in a landscape where, actually, it's a terrible time for our country and our heart does go out to those who have lost loved

ones during the coronavirus crisis. and i think he leads by example, that in his campaign team he has campaigners from the right and the left of the party. i think that style has been good, that during the campaign he has been very collegiate and very respectful between all candidates. and i think it is quite a hopeful time for the party as we go forward. jonathan ashworth, on the same note you back the different candidate. tell us. i nominated lisa nandy, she is an old friend of mine. i think she has impressed everybody in this campaign. but we are all expecting keir starmer to wind and i think keir starmer will be the next leader of the labour party. he is a former successful barrister, of course, and i think he will bring a constructive and forensic approach to our response to the coronavirus outbreak. and i think tracy is absolutely right. he will bring the party together because as we have seenin party together because as we have seen in recent years, disunity in a party really damages a party and i think once he is elected today, and

somebody else goodwin, of course, but i think are all expecting keir starmer to be crowned the winner later today, the whole party has got to unite behind him. disunityjust means that we lose elections and we cannot do what we want to do on behalf of the people we represent. so let's get behind keir starmer. let's continue to be constructive but forensic, asking questions in response to the coronavirus crisis, but let's pull together and go the future. and tracy brabin, it is interesting whatjohn ashworth has said about the party being united, it is almost as if party politics ta kes a it is almost as if party politics takes a shift away from the main see now, because of the idea that the opposition, the role of opposition now isn't just to opposition, the role of opposition now isn'tjust to criticise, is to constructively help with a strategy m, constructively help with a strategy in, frazar has been used a lot, unprecedented times. that is what the new leader will have to do.

there is no doubt about it. this landscape is so different to what anybody was expecting when, it seems months ago now, and it is months ago, that this campaign was launched. and, certainly, ithink jonathan has been leaning absolutely with the correct tone. i sure keir starmer will continue with that. we will work with the government where we can to ensure this virus is estopped and halted and people can get back to their ordinary lives. but what we also can't get away from is that we are the official opposition and we must press the government where we think they are making mistakes or where we can help. and certainly in the campaign to get more ppe and more testing jonathan has been leading a fantastic campaign there. i'm sure keir starmer will continue that because the work they have been doing as well trying to get better support for freelancers and the self—employed in the creative industries, it is really important we all work together, but we have to

you also flag where we think the government can do better because it is really important the government don't overpromise. it feels as if there is a much more collegiate atmosphere within the party a nyway collegiate atmosphere within the party anyway at this time. is that a fair reflection? well, i mean, a lot of us to get on extremely well and things are not always as bad as the newspapers report but, i mean, tracy has been brilliant with that of highlighting the impact of this lockdown on the self—employed and the creative industries and they are a group that seemed to be a bit ignored by some of the government measures and i think the point we are making and the point that tracy is making is we as an opposition need to continue to be constructive and when you create programmes and raise questions and put points and we're not doing it because we to undermine the government or score a political point. we are doing it because if we spotted gaps in the

government's approach, by highlighting them, we hope the government can strengthen and improve their approach to dealing with this crisis. and that is an important part of parliamentary democracy and many of the things that i have been calling for and raising on your programme and other programmes in these few weeks, the government has responded to and resolve them as a result of me, not just me obviously on my own but the public health officials and other experts who come on your programme and highlight these issues. jonathan ashworth, it is interesting to hear you talk about that because whoever wins the labour party leadership base today, an announcement at quarter to 11 this morning, however thatis quarter to 11 this morning, however that is will possibly be taking from some of what you have learned thus far about how you can work alongside while offering critique or commentary about what the government is doing and that will be a new role they are going to have to create now, the new leader of the labour party is in uncharted territory in terms of that role. well, these are

utterly unprecedented times. i mean, not only is this a global health crisis but it is a global economic crisis but it is a global economic crisis as well and nothing like this has happened in our lifetimes, to be frank. so a leader is going to have to navigate a landscape as tracy was saying that none of us expected but i think the important thing is, not just for the leader and the approach they take but i would have thought they take but i would have thought the new leader would have wanted to remain being constructive but forensic, scrutinising decisions and highlighting where gaps are, both in public course but in private and thatis public course but in private and that is what the view was don't appreciate is that we also have umpteen private meetings with ministers where we have gone through the plans and have asked questions and we have made suggestions. that work is going on all the time. but does not mean we should not question in public because sometimes by questioning in public you also are putting pressure on the government to improve but balances well. and we all want, we'll hope to god, that

the national effort to beat this virus succeeds so we have got all to pull together and i hope everybody stays at home this weekend and i know it's going to be gorgeous weather but please stay at home this weekend because staying at home really does save lives. it is an important message and one that has been repeated by all politicians. jonathan ashworth, thank you so much for your time, jonathan ashworth, thank you so much foryourtime, and jonathan ashworth, thank you so much for your time, and tracy as well. but announcement is expected just before 11 this morning. you heard jonathan ashworth refer to the weather and it is going to be a very lovely weekend in lovely weekend weather and it is going to be a very lovely weekend in terms of sunshine for many of us. louise is going to update us but of course louise we have been asking our viewers as well for creative ways to enjoy the sunshine but by staying at home. you don't need to necessarily go outside, you can just don't need to necessarily go outside, you canjust open don't need to necessarily go outside, you can just open the window and turn off the heating and enjoy some of the spring warmth that will bask through the windows and listen to the beautiful wildlife is well in the gardens. the weather watchers that we use helped illustrate the story and we have been asking people to send photographs from the view from your window or your garden and this one

illustrates the point beautifully. thank you, jane. this was her garden first thing this morning and it is a great way of me showing you that there is a little bit of pudgy mist and fog around at the moment. it is not expected to last and it will list and we will see some sunshine today and generally speaking we are heading for a settled weekend at high pressure drift off into the new continent. this low is moving in from the west and the winds ahead of it are strengthening the bow coming from the south and the warm air is coming all the way up from africa, from spain, and so it is going to get certainly a lot milder than we have seen of late. not onlyjust for england and wales but eventually into scotland as well. but first thing this morning there is a little bit apache mist and fog around and it will readily lift away. for england and wales, it is a case of sunny spells for much of the day and it will stay dry. a similar story for the bulk of scotland but the cloudy skies here, scotland and northern with a few isolated chartered —— voss katich hours into the afternoons are not as warm, ten

or 11 degrees —— scattered showers. likely mid teens may be as high as 16,60 likely mid teens may be as high as 16, 60 one fahrenheit, close to london, say the east midlands and parts of east anglia. through this evening, we will keep the clear skies and the southerly wind will still push some warmth to north so under the clear skies, not going to bea under the clear skies, not going to be a cold night, we will see overnight lows eight and we start off tomorrow morning with a lot of spring sunshine on offer for many. the exception is that area of low pressure which will continue to cloud over from the west into northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland and on sunday particularly the winds are really likely to strengthen. so we could see gusts of winds in excess of 40 miles an hour with a little bit of shall remain by the end of the day into northern ireland and western scotland. elsewhere plenty of sunshine coming through, temperature likely to peak above the average for the time of year and we could see highs of 20 degrees 68 fahrenheit. if you are a

hayfever suffer like me, yes, high pollen in the south—east. it is tree pollen in the south—east. it is tree pollen at this time of year. high for the south—east corner, medium across much of england and wales. but it does look as though the pollen levels may well come down a little on monday as we see this weather front sweeping through. it introduces some rain perhaps for a time, albeit briefly, on monday and the winds swing around to a westerly soi the winds swing around to a westerly so i changed to the feel of the weather on wednesday. the rainbow clear through, sunshine coming through but not quite as warm. back to you. louise, thank you so much. you cannot go to everest, clearly, at the moment, and maybe not for some time but you can just make everest ca n some time but you can just make everest can come to you, in a funny way. someone has done that! john griffin traded compass and crampons for a staircase and bannister, as he climbed the equivalent of the world's largest mountain, wish me luck! here we go! bye. in these times of great uncertainty, life really does have its peaks and troughs.

0oh! that hurts! right. butjohn griffin has peaked higher than most... the total height is 8850 metres. ..by climbing the equivalent of mount everest using just the stairs in his house. it's just — it was an offhand remark to my wife, literally, a week ago today in the morning. i'd walked upstairs to the bedroom for the fifth time and i said to her "by the time this lockdown is over, i will have climbed everest". so he did it for real. 29,000 feet or 41,000 steps. i've got to get to 75% minimum today. six hours a day for four days. but coming down doesn't count towards the total. i've got to sit down for a minute. by day three, it was peas on knees for this stairway to hell. my lovely wife suggested sticking frozen peas on it. daisy!

even stair climbers have sherpas. during what's also a sponsored effort byjohn to raise money to help people who use food banks. alexa, play move any mountain. he joins a growing list of highly inventive covid—19 isolation feats — from home olympics to full marathons on balconies and gardens. a kind of social long distancing. at the end of this, will you be moving to a bungalow? no, wejust moved from a bungalow, so... laughter. through the door. yes! cheering and applause. daughter , john summited last night his waiting wife neri, daughter daisy, and neighbours. ending the kind of uplifting achievement he hopes will soon put everyone back on top of the world. thank you! duncan kennedy, bbc news. we are gradually notching them up.

we are gradually notching them up. we have had that garden marathons and everest inside the house. what next? be creative this weekend. and everest inside the house. what next? be creative this weekendm is 24 minutes past seven and talking of incredible achievements, this is one of those. it's taken nine days and a team of hundreds of soldiers, carpenters and other volunteers, but the new nhs nightingale hospital in london is now open and ready for patients. it means up to 4,000 intensive care patients can be treated there. the first are expected to arrive next week. let's speak now to volunteer doctor jessica mok from the royal college of surgeons, who'll be treating some of the seriously ill. jessica, thank you so much for joining us on breakfast and i will say as well thank you so much for the work you are doing and i going to do. tell us how you are going to be involved with the nightingale hospital. hi, good morning, naga and charlie, thank you for having me. so i volunteered to work for the nightingale hospital is one of the doctors on the board. —— ward. so

since monday i have been on training andl since monday i have been on training and i have just got a call to ask me to go to the nightingale on saturday afternoon and i was so excited when i got the call and i said yes, i will come immediately, sol i got the call and i said yes, i will come immediately, so i was at the excel centre on monday and yes, since then it isjust been intense training to get us up to speed with what we need to do in terms of treating patients with covid—19. jessica, can you give me an idea? this afternoon you are going there, is that correct? yes. so can you give me an idea of the training has involved and what you are being trained do specifically? so it is such an interesting and amazing process because we have brought, the team has put together essentially loads of doctors and nurses and physio and other allied health professionals of different backgrounds, it is notjust normally maybe treating patients of all who

do not normally treat patients with respiratory problems, and we have all come together so the training has focused on the problem which is managing people with covid—19 and alsojust the logistics managing people with covid—19 and also just the logistics of being managing people with covid—19 and alsojust the logistics of being in the nightingale is a new hospital, so there is a lot of learning and a lot of getting everyone up to speed about this kind of particular problems so we have got doctors who are orthopaedic surgeons and i myself as a general surgery registrar and most of us have got backgrounds in critical care as part of ourtraining backgrounds in critical care as part of our training but for some of us, it may be a long time ago, so it is a mixture of the basic training of documentation, to really the more specific training on how to use ventilators, to look after patients, and where to ask for help when we are stuck. so it has been amazing so far. do you know what, jessica, it has been amazing and interesting because for so many people we are

hearing such difficult stories about difficult times and conditions and you are so excited, you have said you are so excited, you have said you are so excited, you have said you a re really you are so excited, you have said you are really looking forward to this. is there any worry? i know your parents have been concerned for your parents have been concerned for your safety. yeah, i mean, ithink asa your safety. yeah, i mean, ithink as a doctor we always want to try to help and i have been on a research role for a while so—and—so i was, you know, excited to actually have the opportunity to help others and just instead of sitting back but yeah, ithink just instead of sitting back but yeah, i think my parents and my family and friends who live in hong kong and macau are worried about my safety then maybe i am, because i think i know that i will be able to keep myself safe in the nightingale hospital. my dad in particular is a very stoic man but, you know, i had him in tears the other day and basically telling me to resign my job. when he heard that i was, i had volunteered for this. i think there

isa volunteered for this. i think there is a lot of fear about whether we will be safe and there is a lot of things the media are saying, healthcare providers have gotten sick or have even sadly passed away so there is a lot of fear and uncertainty but i think ijust have to go for it and do what i can. i think we have the moral obligation to do something, so that kind of, yeah, that is what is important, i think. are you scared, jessica? yeah, definitely. i have definitely got a lot of i have a lot of apprehension about what is to come. i'm scared that i will be sick sol cannot work and that will leave my colleagues short. i'm scared that i will come home to my partner and i will come home to my partner and i will infect him. i'm scared of the psychological impacts that may have on myself. in the future. but i do

know there is a lot of support out there and throughout the training, thatis there and throughout the training, that is what has kind of been discussed with us, is there is a huge level of support that is going to be there and hopefully, there is going to be a lot of doctors and nurses who are in the same situation and i'm really looking forward to working with this huge team, it is a huge hospital, so really excited. doctorjessica mok, what i would say to you is good luck and thank you andi to you is good luck and thank you and i think, as an example to all of us about how nhs staff are carers, key workers are tackling this, you area shining key workers are tackling this, you are a shining example of someone who just wants to help and be the best you can be and i wish you all the best in that. thank you so much for talking to us on breakfast. thank you, naga. thank you.|j talking to us on breakfast. thank you, naga. thank you. i redone my sheet of paper there werejessica said you just have to go for it. do what i can. and when you ask someone who is in that situation if they are

scared and they say yes, they are, what she was scared about wasn't necessarily about herself. it was about leaving her colleagues short, getting up and leaving her collea g u es getting up and leaving her colleagues short, affecting her partner, and only then was she worried about the psychological impact —— infecting. that is what they are doing for us. it is 31 minutes past seven and the headlines are up in a minute.

hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces as we're urged to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, there are fears that scenes like this could be repeated, with people ignoring advice to stay at home. yesterday, it was revealed a further 684 people had died with the virus in the uk injust 24 hours. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus. but president trump says he won't be wearing one. the us now has nearly a quarter of a million confirmed cases. here in the uk the advice remains that people do not need to wear one.

almost four months after jeremy corbyn announced he'd be stepping down as leader of the labour party, his replacement will be announced this morning. rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy, and keir starmer have each pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out via e—mail alongside details of the number of votes each has received. the new deputy leader will also be announced. we get to talk to mike this morning about what is happening in the sport. inevitably the link and sportspeople, sports institutions, how they react thing at the moment. yes. the focus has been on football, especially premier league players. they came in for some criticism for maybe not acting soon enough, but after days of meetings the talks have paid off. big measures announced yesterday. firstly, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a 30 per—cent, pay cut to protect jobs across football. all clubs have agreed to the proposal, and also the top

division will make an advanced payment of 125 million to help less well off clubs, in the divisions below, and non—league, plus they are giving 20 million to the nhs. and premier league club captains, are also looking at setting up their own fund for health workers. top players had faced scrutiny this week to do more to help ease the burden across the sport. while many premier league clubs have been reaching out, to help vulnerable fans during the coronavirus pandemic, southampton have taken it a step further, by feeding fans in need. over the next 12 weeks their club chefs, will prepare thousands of nutritious meals, normally reserved for the players and special guests, and these will be delivered across the community. the first ones went out yesterday. at southampton's st mary's stadium it looks like an almost day for chef zoltan and his team, busy cooking up range of nutritious dishes. but now these meals are not for fans in the hospitality suite ahead

of kick off, orjust for the players, they're to be frozen and then delivered to those people in the community who most need help while they stay—at—home. it is busy, very, very busy. but, to be honest, we are chefs, we can't sit around for a long time. so we are glad to be back in the kitchens. some of these dishes, we have been feeding the academy and first team as well, so some of the dishes are from the training ground. so fingers crossed people will love it. 1000 meals a week will be prepared by the six chefs working nine hours a day for the next three months at least. and then with the help of the saints' foundation and fareshare, which is the uk's national network that helps distribute food aid like this, the dishes will be taken to places like schools, which are already handing out lunches to parents. it will mean that these families can have a nutritious meal at lunchtime and take away the stress of having to worry about how

they will feed their families and their income has literally gone to zero overnight. it's the families who are plumbers and painters and decorators and hairdressers and people like that who, their diaries have just emptied and have got no income and of literally got no money. one such family, also in southampton, are the hendersons. they don't normally qualify for free school meals, but due to the coronavirus their situation has changed. so how will it help you? the meals are going to really helped, because obviously with the virus and everything that's going on, my husband has had to stop working now, so he is on 80% pay, so he is on less money, and obviously we have got to feed two very hungry children while they are not at school. he's very excited. you're going to have the same food as the football players, yeah? eat lots of vegetables. eat lots of vegetables, yeah.

also receiving dishes cooked up by sultan and his team will be old isolated people who may be can't get along to luncheon clubs at the moment, also charity such as the ymca and groups that look after young, vulnerable adults who maybe find themselves homeless. as well as providing the kitchens and the staff to prepare the meals, the club's also spending £50,000 on the ingredients. while first team players, especially those like international james ward—prowse, who grew up in hampshire, know how important this is for the club and community. the football clubs are kind of the hub of the city. everybody thinks about it, everybody wants to be involved with it. to reach out to those people means a lot because there's a lot of good things, a lot of bad things about football clubs, to see a club doing something like this is truly special. we've always been really active in the community so we do lots of work in schools and lots of work with older people and vulnerable adults throughout the year. and this really feels like it's a time when football clubs,

i believe, like ourselves, should be coming to the fore and supporting their community, people come and support us on a regular basis and actually this is now the time to give back. and now that he is not at the moment serving up goals for southampton, james has been spending some of the time at home learning to cook himself. at the moment it's one of those things to keep me occupied. yeah, i've enjoyed it. you never know, i'm overdoing some of the cooking as well. what is your signature dish? i'm not that experienced yet. i have made some cod and vegetable dish last night. but it went down well, so i'm happy. for zoltan and his team the race is now on. so often in the background on match days, now they find themselves upfront, the first team in southampton's effort to feed the community. just thinking, there are a lot of onions there. it would make your eyes water. we will have more later.

thanks, mike. with schools closed to the majority of pupils to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus, parents across the country have been asked to become instant homeschoolers. so what's it like juggling timetables, curricula and coursework? let's take a look at some ideas for homeschooling and see how some parents are coping. there we go. there it goes! mapmaking is loads of fun and there is loads of learning can do with it. rainbow chips, all you need is a selection of coloured pieces or card. it started to come out, is that it? i am going to take five and drop them down. we have to find that exact colour in the local area. when i have got me finished map am going to colour in. that is not the right

green. that's not the right green. that's not... crack on yourselves, let us know how get on. laughter. that is what some people are up to. let's speak to danielle gamble and rachel drake now, who are both homeschooling. we can see the pictures of the kids behind you on the wall. how are things? it has been challenging, but we're getting there. you had best give us the rundown of the ages so people get a snapshot of your house. how old are your children? we have five boys and one girl and the old est five boys and one girl and the oldest is nine, seven, eight, five, almost four, and almost two. you have got a very busy house. have you got a structure? how does a normal day look? well, we've been quite

fortu nate day look? well, we've been quite fortunate in that the kids school, primary school, has sent a resource pack so and i am fortunate to have a sister who is a teacher at that school, so she has been giving a lot of great ideas. the morning generally starts with a session with the body coach. and then after that we follow the structure that is set out by the school, that lasts roughly an hour. we go into the garden for some outside play. and then generally in for lunch. then a bit of outside play, sometimes the kids go out on their bikes while i go for a run. after that it is a bit of creative writing, really, and may be planting seeds in the garden. you sound like you have gone about it with a pretty organised plan. what has been the most challenging part for you is yellow well, in terms of challenging it will probably be that the children do differ in age quite a lot. so that our a lot of

different levels of development there. keeping them engaged as well ina home there. keeping them engaged as well in a home environment when there are other distractions like the crying baby. but, to be fair, they have helped each other out quite well in terms of sitting down together and working through their problems. because the school has sent such a structure should resource pack out the children were from a four that they have been used to working to in school. so they are quite happy to work away independently and ask for help when they need it. aim entries, danielle, what you do about explaining what's going on? these are such extraordinary times. they will be aware that things are very, very different. how do you go about that? well, before the kids left school they had been getting quite a lot of information through there. so they have been educating me quite well about the virus and what they need to do to keep themselves and everybody else protected from it. it

is about managing their anxieties and their expectations. my children are used to being very active, very heavily involved in gaelic sports, training each night of the week. for me it is about explaining in basic terms that we take the steps that we have been told to now and we will be able to get back to life as normal as soon as possible. what about all these adjustments? the phrases we are using at the moment, i don't know what you are trained in yourself, but a lot of parents are asking themselves can i teach? am i capable of teaching my own children? these are quite challenging things, aren't they? absolutely. i 37 years of age so the children learn in a different way than i did. but i am actually learning from them in that respect. i can't stress enough how great the resource packs have been. use of websites as well, because that allows me to bring in a bit of technology, which the kids love. so it keeps them interested and in the

meantime i can always use doctor google. it's ok. just tell me, danielle, a bit of laughter, it goes a long way right now, are you able to get, our spirits high in the gamble house? absolutely. there are no idle hands. we have been in the garden to plan things and encourage things to grow. stuff they have been meaning to do for awhile and them getting the kids involved. with six kids in the house there is really never a dull moment. i am liking the hedgehog. who is that behind you? i am liking that one. 0h, they have all got those. it is lovely to have the pictures. thank you and good luck. thank you very much, danielle. that is a plan. that seems well... how many children? six children. you need a plan. you need to be very organised. that is someone who is very organised and calm. there have

been so many memes and videos of pa rents been so many memes and videos of parents literally tearing up their hair. if you are looking for inspiration for homeschooling the bbc is launching a new service. on april 20th called bitesize daily. it will run across a designated website and app. content will also be available via the bbc iplayer, red button, bbc four, and bbc sounds. i was also interested that the schools themselves have been providing packs to help the parents as well. the school teachers are not of bailey mes. they are very proactive. schools are saying is a lot of information out there. what time is it? 7:45am. we are talking a lot about the weather. these are extraordinary times. in other circumstances we would have a different conversation. we're being told the best thing you can do is at home. that's the thing. but the weather is going to be good. the weather is going to be good but in some respects it puts a smile on

ourface in some respects it puts a smile on our face because we can open the window and listen to mother nature and appreciate some sunshine. i know iam standing and appreciate some sunshine. i know i am standing here beside —— behind mist and fog but we are encouraging people to take whether what your photographs from the garden or bedroom window to illustrate the story and this one really illustrates the story beautifully, just take a look at what is happening in rotherham at the moment, obviously taken from somebody‘s bedroom window and what an amazing view have standing on a chair overlooking your back garden. you can see the fields there and the blue sky and the sunshine and yes, they're going to see some sunshine today. so you will be able to turn the central heating off as it is set to get warmer and you will be able to get warmer and you will be able to open your windows and enter your -- air to open your windows and enter your —— airyour bed to open your windows and enter your —— air your bed a little. high pressure a cross —— air your bed a little. high pressure across europe and we have a low moving in and the winds will strengthen so it will be a windy weekend. but it is a warm source, the warmth is coming up from spain and it is going to drive those temperatures up from the average

from this time of year so for england and wales it is a straightforward story today. 0nce england and wales it is a straightforward story today. once we have got the mist and patchy fog lifting away, sunny spells, dry, breezy. further north into northern ireland and scotland we are seeing some showers through the night and they will start to ease but still a few isolated showers dotted around and certainly a little more cloud. not as cold as it has been that still not as warm as england and wales. 9—11. you should see 13—16 further south. the southerly wind will help shift the cloud across the north overnight so clear skies but because we have got that warm air filtering in, it will not be a cold night. temperatures perhaps holding up night. temperatures perhaps holding up at 4— seven so it is a relatively straightforward story into tomorrow morning. dry, settled and sunny for many. the low pressure that i pointed out at the beginning start to push into northern ireland and western fringes of scotland so there will certainly be more cloud and they will definitely be stronger winds and maybe by the end of the

afternoon there will be some showery outbreaks of rain here and we could see gusts of winds 40 miles an hour and generally it is going to be a blustery affair for many but it will be dry and settled and temperatures on the up. on sunday, widely we're looking at temperatures into the midteens and maybe even picking at 20 degrees. pollen count, if you are struggling like me first thing in the morning in the south—east, it is high at the moment. tree pollen, believe it or not, at this time of year. but it means as we go into monday that it may well change. the weather front were clear through and it is going to bring us a little bit of showery rain and once it clears, sunny spells and the temperatures perhaps a bit more bearable for many, into the midteens as a maximum divock into the mid— teens. mine is birch pollen. that is what gets me. my birch pollen. that is what gets me. my eyes are so itchy and it is horrible! cold cucumber or cold cotton wool pads. always a nice way to wa ke cotton wool pads. always a nice way to wake up. and preferably no make

up to wake up. and preferably no make up at quarter past four in the morning! i won't do that tomorrow, i can assure you! it is saturday morning and we will have clicked right now. with the headlines at eight o'clock. —— back with the headlines at eight o'clock. welcome to click. i'm spencer kelly. 0n the sixth of april 2000, a plucky new tv programme hit the air promising to talk about something that many people, many in the media thought was too scary, too nerdy. technology. no—one thought that programme would last more than a couple of years and yet, 20 years

later, click is still on—air. just. because it is impossible to believe that we are celebrating our 20th birthday in a world that seems eerily similar to those dystopian sci—fi films that we geeks crop on. like many programmes, will find it ha rd to like many programmes, will find it hard to stay on—air during the lockdown. but for old times sake, because it is our birthday, we are going to forget about it all and ta ke going to forget about it all and take one last look at click through the ages. in the short programme of the ages. in the short programme of the version we will need to skip over quite a bit of the highlights so to get the whole story, this week more than ever, leads to check out the full length programme. click online. click online. it is the age—old story, bbc launches a new .com programme,

and the .com bubble immediately bursts. was it ourfault? probably. yet stephen and his team were ready to take apart any tech they could get their hands on. episode one featured two polar opposite hairstyles explaining how to copy photos off of those newfangled digital cameras and a review of the upcoming playstation 2, conducted on the boot of a car. the new millennium was often running with the latest pocket pcs, —— the new millennium was off and running with the latest pocket pcs, the very hottest fashion and a man trapped in a pda. home computers were helping to make music, which could be listened to on whatever that is. and stored on sd cards with a massive 64 megabytes — yes! and that's not all. slot the little card in, stick in headphones on and you're away, you're free to jog, do whatever you want. dial up noises. home internet was about to get a lot faster too as one of the backstreet boys showed you how to switch your computer from dial—up to superfast broadband.

2003 rolls around and before anyone was talking around the cloud, this chap turns up wearing it. i'm not sure what happened to him, but the shirt lives on, burned into the back of people's retinas to this day. david reid opted to get measured for a more sober costume, and also showed us what he wore on the weekend. and in your spare time, this was the amazing content that we were recommending online. you can even get interactive and play the panpipes using your mouse. thank you, sam, thank you partners. the budget wouldn't stretch to a horse. meanwhile, kate strolled into town for the first time, rob was creating his own ringtones and chris and simon demonstrated the very latest portable photo scanner. watch out, here comes 2006 with a new look, a new host, and some stunningly expensive special effects. we talk a rare peak into the new technology superpower that was, and is, china. before the kindle, we are already looking at the e—paper technology that would power it and as phone

companies struggled desperately to become smart, we tried out some of the new designs, including a touchscreen device that was not a million miles away from apple's forthcoming world—changer. 2007 — africa, and we were testing cameras in the wild. fortunately, we weren't eaten by anything anonymous —— fortunately, we weren't eaten by anything enormous unless you count a giant pacman. i'll see you in london. it's that way, i think. in namibia, we tracked miles in crazy solar hats to try out our satellite broadband in the desert. either it is going to blow up or we have a lock. this year's hot topic was piracy websites and in particular, the protests outside the swedish parliament that wallowed — — followed the pirate bay being shut down. chris used the age—old coffee jar analogy to see which disc format was going to win. hd dvd, or blu—ray? the answer, streaming. we saw misbehaving furniture in san francisco and then dan came across a small company that have something electrifying in its garage.

it took tesla another fiuve years to start delivering its saloon car but this one it really did set the balls in motion. talking of balls, here is the beginnings of live on—set motion capture, demonstrated by some idiot in a very tight suit. and then of course there was that new phone from that company. and that was when everything changed. in 2008, the rest of the mobile phone companies tried to play catch—up. touchscreens were everywhere, the mobile web was getting there, but surely the iphone couldn't slay all of the established phone makers? and nokia, which sells more phones in one week than apple does in a year, will have its own touchscreen rival by december. hmm... but as we started to spend more time online, our digitalfootprints were leaving behind significant clues about us. and we decided to show how your personal data could be scraped and used by anyone who knew

how to write a facebook app. we wrote an evil application which secretly collected the personal details of you and your friends and sent them to us. fortunately, facebook closed that hole and no—one has ever used our personal data against us since. it's a new decade and 2010 starts with a bang. well, a crack, actually, as dan is told this phone is completely unbreakable, so he broke it. i've actually broken the phone! do not challenge us. play music with lightning? check. go skiing in the dubai desert? of course! make high—tech fashion look cool? um... here is mark out scavenging with his nan and auntie susan. now bungie is out of the halo business, what happens to the stars

of its games? the spacefaring super soldiers, the spartans? window cleaning and lift attendants, apparently. but the year was once again dominated by apple, this time going big on tablets. but just the next year, the man who had led the company from next to nothing to global domination left us. stevejobs, the biggest tech superstar of his time. also in 2011, lara joined the team and immediately went for a lie down. the trouble is i often get up at 3:30am to talk about the weather. good morning. you remember the weather, don't you? it's the thing that's outside? and in the year of wiggly robots, holographic tv and cheap costume hire, we went looking for the next big thing. and here it is. for truly portable smartphone viewing, check out this tv hat. sorry, here it is.

imagine wearable, bendable and colour—changeable tech. the breakthrough could be a material called graphene. dan there, taking rare time on his now pathological need to destroy technology. more testosterone overload in 2012. mark demonstrated the standard tween the games consoles using the medium of the spaghetti western. special guest star ennio marioni. ah, thank you. and could you make a film on a mobile phone in 2012? no, absolutely not! so we did, with special effects. you're welcome! 2015 was a vintage year. south korea served up robots

that hunted jellyfish, and an e—sports tournament where the teams were kept in a fish tank and flying hairdryers. and who could forget hugo, the robot that made me lose my faculties in the middle of a car park? in spain, we filmed a whole programme on mobile. don't do it, it was awful. what do you mean, everyone's having to do it these days? japan, brilliant. full of fake cats and ping—pong—playing robots. i was even checked out by a dinosaur. artificial intelligence was becoming huge, and steve created one that learned to walk. vr was going mainstream. kate was making it out of cardboard, and mark was falling for it in a big way. laughs. i actually tried to lean on the table there! maisie, are they working? yes, i can see the microphone and i can see

that you are smiling and the lead in the front has a red jacket and the men extent he was wearing stripes and oh my god, it is amazing. remember maisie? we do. she broke hearts and mended them all in one go as she got to read her favourite book for the first time since she lost her sight. 2019 was an emotional year, really. we hid a continuous run of 1,000 shows, celebrating by making an interactive adventure that was the hardest programme we've ever made. 50 years after the arguably greater achievement of landing on the moon, lj bounced her voice off it. hello, moon people. and we got to see the vehicles that we'll be travelling to space in next. oh, i feel the forces in my tail bone! as could 0mar. plenty of forces there, i would have thought. yeah, i'd say there's nothing we won't do for click, a programme that has allowed us to live out our wildest, most childish dreams,

and which has driven us mad and kept us sane every week for longer than anyone would have imagined. for however long you've been on this journey with us, i hope you've enjoyed the ride. and that is where we have to leave it for the shortcut of the best of click. there are more great memories in the full—length version which is on iplayer right now. please do watch it if you can find a few minutes in your day. also in that episode, i will tell you what is going to happen to click from next week in this strange new world that week in this strange new world that we find ourselves in. but rest assured you have given us 20 years. we will be here for you. next week. thank you so much for watching. we will see you then.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: "forget the sunshine, stay at home and save lives". police forces across the uk urge people to use their common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel this weekend. the plea comes as emotional tributes are paid to two nhs nurses who died after contracting coronavirus, each leaving behind three children. americans are told to start wearing face masks in public to stop the spread of coronavirus, but president trump says he won't be following the advice. i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know, somehow i don't to see it for myself. labour's next leader will be revealed just before

11.00am this morning. we'll look at the challenges that jeremy corbyn's successor will face. after days of pressure, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a wage cut of 30% to help ease the financial burden caused by the coronavirus, while club captains look to set up a fund to support the nhs. from the ballroom to her living room. strictly‘s 0ti mabuse will tell us about her mission to get us moving. it's saturday, 4th of april. our top story: use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces as we're urged to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, the government says staying at home is an instruction, "not a request". in the next few minutes, we'll be asking one chief constable

what they'll be doing to make sure people stick to the rules. we'll also be speaking to the royal college of nursing about those two young nurses who've died after testing positive for coronavirus. first, simonjones has this report. these were the scenes in snowdonia two weeks ago where many people ignored government advice. crowds flocked to the coast and parks were busy too. now, with even more stringent curbs on our movements in place, the health secretary says staying at home and protecting lives is not a request but an instruction. we're set for a warm weekend in some parts of the country. but the disease is still spreading. and we absolutely cannot afford to relax the social distancing measures that we have in place. we cannot relax our discipline now. if we do, people will die. government regulations state everyone must stay at home

but you can leave under the following circumstances: for one form of exercise a day — the advice is to say as local as possible. you can go out to shop for basic necessities such as food and medicine, but as infrequently as possible. you're also allowed outside of the house for any medical needs or to provide care and assistance to someone vulnerable. and you can travel to work but only if you cannot work from home. an increasing number of councils are instructing dog—owners to keep their pets on a lead in a parks to avoid any risk of dog—walkers coming into contact with each other. in the lake district, police are using social media to tell tourists stay away. in some areas, officers have set up roadblocks to question where drivers are going. the police are being told to engage with people and encourage them to return home. enforcement will be a last resort with initial fines of up to £60. well, undoubtedly, this weekend is going to be probably one of the biggest challenges for policing nationally so far. and we know that we're

working in an environment that is quite fast moving — the legislation has only been in for a week or so. it's a challenging time for families too who've being cooped up for almost a fortnight. usually, we go to the park and the kids run around. we can't do that now so we're going to stay at home and keep them busy at home. the death of this nurse, aimee 0'rourke and a second, areema nasreen, at the hospitals where they worked, sends a clear message according to the nhs. please, i ask you to remember aimee and areema. please stay at home for them. the government and police are hoping this will be the norm this weekend in these least normal of times. simon jones, bbc news. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus. we should be clear that here in the uk, the advice remains that people do not need to wear one. the us now has nearly

a 250,000 confirmed cases, as david willis reports. president trump has long downplayed the severity of the coronavirus and, once again, made plain he doesn't always take the recommendations of his medical staff seriously. the cdc is advising the use of non—medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measure. so it's voluntary. you don't have to do it. they suggest it for a period of time. but this is voluntary. i don't think i'm going to be doing it. the advice to americans to cover theirfaces in public comes in the light of new evidence that suggests the virus can be transmitted notjust by people who are coughing and sneezing, but by those who have it but don't know they have it. why then is the president rejecting the recommendations of his own advisors? sitting in the oval office,

behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know, somehow i don't see for myself. but for more than a quarter of a million americans currently affected, many are in new york, with the death toll for the coronavirus has now exceeded that of the terrorist attacks of september 11th. morgues and hospitals are already inundated and then there's a shortage of masks, gowns, and ventilators, with the anticipated surge in coronavirus cases still weeks away. things could turn out to be even worse in new orleans, where the mardi gras celebrations of late february helped spread the virus before social distancing measures were introduced. music plays. the death rate there is more than double that of new york

and the big easy is just a week away from running out of hospital beds. thank you very much, we'll see you tomorrow. although president trump might not be heeding the call to wear a mask, it seems his wife is taking the recommendation seriously. shortly after her husband's press conference, first lady melania trump tweeted: the administration's own advisors say close to a quarter of a million people here could die of the coronavirus. conceding the surge cases could be considerable, president trump told reporters "i hope they're wrong". david willis, bbc news, los angeles. china, where the coronavirus pandemic began, has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember those who have died. people across the country stopped and bowed their heads to mourn the victims, as sirens and horns sounded. china has officially recorded more

than 3,000 deaths since december as a result of the outbreak. the new leader of the labour party will be announced via e—mail today after a specially—planned conference had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. each of the contenders have pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out alongside details of the number of votes they've received. 0ur political correspondent helen cattjoins us from westminster. it is interesting how the government and political parties are working with each other, and the challenge thatis with each other, and the challenge that is going to face the new leader. it is certainly a strange time to be taking over. politically, it would have been obvious to the three remaining candidates, sir keir starmer, rebecca long—bailey, lisa

nandy, that there would be a political challenge, they would be taking over a party fresh off the back of its worst election defeat for decades. a party that has had high profile internal splits over anti—semitism, anti—jewish prejudice. no one could have foreseen they would have been taking overin foreseen they would have been taking over in the middle of a global pandemic, where the normal of rules politics don't really apply. who is it most likely to be that will be doing that? the clear favourite is sir keir starmer. earlier, john as hworth told sir keir starmer. earlier, john ashworth told us that he certainly thinks that the suit will be later. i nominated lisa mandy, she is an old friend of mine. she impressed everybody in the campaign, but we are all expecting sir keir starmer to win. he's a former successful barrister and i think he will bring a constructive and forensic approach to our response the coronavirus.

keir starmer led convincingly in the first two rounds of this contest. rebecca long—bailey, seen as perhaps the natural heir to jeremy rebecca long—bailey, seen as perhaps the natural heir tojeremy corbyn, her campaign didn't take off in perhaps the wet would have been expected. things are uncertain in politics, so we can say for sure. we'll find out this morning. stay at home and protect lives. that's the clear warning from the health secretary, matt hancock, who says more people will die if there's any relaxation of social distancing rules this weekend because of the expected warm weather. it's even prompted some tourist hot spots to take the unprecedented move of releasing adverts asking people to stay away. in a moment, we'll speak to a police chief trying to enforce the guidelines and also to the head of a national park. first, here's a look one public service announcement released by visit cornwall.

take this moment to reflect. today we must stay at home and reassess because today we can't rush anywhere. joining us now are the chief constable of devon and cornwall police, shaun sawyer, and the chief executive of the pembrokeshire national park, tegryn jones. good morning to you both. 0n the

back of that beautiful video, it seems so difficult, such a shame that people are missing out ongoing to these wonderful places, but it is so crucial that the message comes across. what are you doing? we have closed the majority of the pembrokeshire coast path, most of our car parks pembrokeshire coast path, most of ourcar parks and pembrokeshire coast path, most of our car parks and the message we are sending clearly is we would welcome visitors, but now is not the time to visit. we will welcome you later when we have come through this very difficult time. chief constable, the message is being put out by those who head up the parts and these beautiful places of interest. how can it be enforced? there is very much a feeling of a soft touch, gentle touch for people, so they don't feel more restricted than they currently are. that is because the government is very clear that this isa government is very clear that this is a national endeavour, everyone

plays their part. it is time to put others before yourself. we are seeing so many people across government doing their part. it is the public, the millions of people who will put others before yourself, to be selfless not selfish. the police by consent. when we come to enforcement, there really is the la st enforcement, there really is the last resort. in a way, when we come to enforcement, then everybody has failed to understand the significance of this endeavour. it is notjust visitors, even significance of this endeavour. it is not just visitors, even within significance of this endeavour. it is notjust visitors, even within my own 4,000 square miles, i have known population that want to jump in the carand population that want to jump in the car and travel. this is across the united kingdom, for all of us, car and travel. this is across the united kingdom, forall of us, time to rememberthe united kingdom, forall of us, time to remember the importance of stay—at—home and save lives. to remember the importance of stay-at-home and save lives. chief co nsta ble, stay-at-home and save lives. chief constable, help us see through this. you mentioned policing by consent,

such an important principle of british policing. in devon and, you have many beaches there, so i'm thinking, as the weather gets warm on sunday, i go to the beach, that's what i normally do. what would your police officers do about people who make that choice? if you live by a beach, you can walk to the beach as pa rt of beach, you can walk to the beach as part of your exercise. that is part of your welfare, part of your needs. if you live on the mirrors. a 66 not need to get into a car to drive. where we are seeing gatherings on the beach, we will first enquire, because that gathering might be a family. we shouldn't jump because that gathering might be a family. we shouldn'tjump into policing by judgment. we family. we shouldn'tjump into policing byjudgment. we need to have a conversation. we will encourage people to go home, separate, isolated, but if groups will not listen, then enforcement is

the last resort. this would apply to maryland as well as beaches. there are maryland as well as beaches. there a re often maryland as well as beaches. there are often car parts were you drive there and then you walk on the beach. will you have officers actively targeting those places? may be positioned on the roads to see? if people are driving there they are already breaking the principle of what they should be doing. already breaking the principle of what they should be doingm already breaking the principle of what they should be doing. it is such a powerful point about breaking the principal. i have 4,000 square miles, 700 miles of coastline. you could not police that other than by the public himself. we are certainly looking at the arterial roads into the south—west, then within the peninsula itself. that is a very small workforce. devon and cornwall police require the public both within and without geography —— our

geography, to play their part. as a la st geography, to play their part. as a last resort we will enforce. a 60 point ticket, if it makes you do something, and 684 people dying yesterday didn't, then i think you need to take a good look at yourself and ask yourself if you understand the significance of where we are. he mentioned the main arterial roads. would people reasonably be expected to think that they could well be stopped and asked what are you doing? there are no roadblocks in the united kingdom. that is an important point. that is why the importance of, if you are in your car, and the back window is full of the duvet, then turn around and go home. think about what you're doing. the nextjunction, home. think about what you're doing. the next junction, have home. think about what you're doing. the nextjunction, have a real thing and go back to where you need to be

and go back to where you need to be and come back later. the economy is here desperately wanted to come. cornwall council, we never thought we would be sent to people to come. this is one of our first big weekends. if you don't get it right this weekend, what will be do at easter? pulling people over on the motorway is a dangerous thing at the best of times. i don't think my office rs best of times. i don't think my officers will be doing that, we will be asking people to leave at the nextjunction if be asking people to leave at the next junction if we be asking people to leave at the nextjunction if we do it at be asking people to leave at the next junction if we do it at all. be asking people to leave at the nextjunction if we do it at all. it is full due to turn around, not us to do it for you. he shouldn't have started in the first place. it is interesting hearing the chief co nsta ble interesting hearing the chief constable talking about what action can be taken. what happens today, tomorrow, if at your national park people turn up, you are aware of it, who do you call, what do you do?m is an issue of partnership. police

in south wales have been excellent. they have been stopping people and advising them to turn back along the m4, i believe the same is happening in north wales, as well. there are certain enforcement powers with local authorities, as well. what we hope is that messages such as this get through to the public and the public really consider whether they need to journey. in some respects, the guidance is for nonessential travel, so whether it is for five minutes to go for a walk five hours to go for a walk, if you think you should be driving you should seriously consider whether it an essential journey. seriously consider whether it an essentialjourney. hopefully, that message gets through and people will have the common sense. a couple of days ago we were celebrating, quite rightly the nhs and other front line staff by clapping and supporting

them. i think the best message we can get is the way to support them for this weekend, despite the weather, is to stay at home. chief co nsta ble, weather, is to stay at home. chief constable, listening to what you have been saying, you have been very careful with your language. it is about abiding to the principal at the moment. when does are kept to a point, or are you feeling we will ca ptu re point, or are you feeling we will capture point, where you will be given powers, extra powers, and asked to use them if people continue to ignore those principles? the government has made clear that they will review things on a daily basis, and they clearly do. we will be providing information back to the chair of the national police chiefs council, as will every force over the weekend, as to what we are saying. if we see an uptake in travel, whether that is true

office rs travel, whether that is true officers on patrol or our partners and local government, we will report that back. it is a pivotal weekend for us, asa that back. it is a pivotal weekend for us, as a nation, but particularly as a calendula, this weekend will be our peak travel time. get it right now, because i don't think the government wants to have to legislate. they have made that clear, we are a democracy. that means we will play our part. more than ever we play our parts. there are people to you are extraordinarily vulnerable you're not getting out at all. young people, they are playing their parts. the adults, you do not need to get in the car this weekend and drive to the coast. couldn't be clearer. thank you very much for your time this morning. it is a very clear message, an official message,

and instruction. the language around this has changed. stay at home and avoid all but essentialjourneys. 0ne avoid all but essentialjourneys. one of the key point is there that the chief constable set is that this isa the chief constable set is that this is a pivotal weekend. it could be a game changer. because the weather is so good people to take on these principles, the implications could be that there will be further measures put in place. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. we are encouraging our weather watchers to tell the story of the weather from their windows, their balconies, their gardens. it is a misty, murky start across the isle of wight. many are being pretty inventive and taking shots from their bedroom windows. in rotherham, we have some sunshine already. it is enquired weather story this weekend

and for many there will be sun chang coming through. 0ne and for many there will be sun chang coming through. one of the reasons for this is the wind direction. we have high—pressure moving to the near continent and the southerly wind has developed, which dragging up wind has developed, which dragging up warm airfrom the near wind has developed, which dragging up warm air from the near continent. through the weekend, it will get warmer. some of that warmth will gradually push its way as far north as scotland. it will take its time, though. today will be quite cloudy. there will be showery outbreaks of rain. isolated showers into the afternoon for central and southern scotla nd afternoon for central and southern scotland and northern ireland. for england and wales it will be dry, settled with sunshine for many. temperatures will be above average for the time of year. we could see 16 degrees in the south, between nine and 11 degrees in scotland. the southerly wind will drive up drier air through the night. it pushes that cloud further north. we will keep clear skies but it will not be

a cold night. it will be frost free. we will keep a breeze around, as well. 0vernight lows between four and 7 degrees. tomorrow morning, sunshine for the time we wake up. i try, settled story for many with the exception out to the west. that no pressure could certainly bring a strong wind, but it will bring to light and outbreaks of rain into northern ireland, maybe western fringes of scotland into the afternoon. here we will see gusts of wind in excess of 40 miles an hour. elsewhere, it will be blustery. the winds will come from the site so the temperatures will climb. the highest values may be into the main team, possibly 20 degrees and one or two spots, that is 68 fahrenheit. the pollen count is pretty high, particularly in the south—east corner, so if you do sufferfrom hay fever that is worth bearing in mind. the pollen count may come down a little on monday as we see that no

pressure moving in, the cold front will bring some rain. not particularly extensive, but it will bring rain and a westerly flow, so a change of the weather on monday, a change of the weather on monday, a change to the feel to the weather, too. 0nce change to the feel to the weather, too. once the rain goes through, the sunshine is set to return. demands for better coronavirus protection for healthcare workers are growing today, following the tragic death of two nurses in their 30s. areema nasreen died in the walsall hospital, where she had worked for 16 years. aimee 0'rourke from margate died hours earlier. they were both mothers of three children. let's speak now to susan masters from the royal college of nursing. very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. when you heard of those deaths the deaths of

the two nurses, what was your reaction? it is so sad. every loss cou nts to reaction? it is so sad. every loss counts to this virus. all key workers, all members of the public in our communities, but that this should happen to a nurse who bravely trying to care for patients and doing everything possible to keep the public safe, it is doubly sad. all my deepest sympathies and those of the nursing communities, those m essa g es of the nursing communities, those messages are flooding into the royal couege messages are flooding into the royal college of nurses, to say that our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of the two nurses who lost their lives. we have also lost health care assistants. we can say the names often enough, areema nasreen and aimee 0'rourke. those collea g u es nasreen and aimee 0'rourke. those colleagues of theirs, wherever they are working in the nhs, they will already be aware of the risk, but also what precautions they can take. tell us a little bit about now, how your profession is feeling about how

they are being cared for. we absolutely must have the right personal protective equipment for every nurse in every setting of health and care. 0nly think about, often the public think about nurses and where they are working, we think about critical care nurses working in itg in critical hospitals. the nurses are everywhere. nurses and midwives are with us from birth to death, and working to care for people with chronic disease. all of the nurses need to have protective equipment. we heard yesterday that this equipment is now available, personal protective equipment, masks, gowns, aprons, gloves, eye protection, whatever is needed. we need that to be delivered. i understand there are military operations in place to get this equipment out. we will believe it when the state. we need to see it in

the hands of nurses. can i be clear? the evidence you are hearing from the front line, despite what has been said about the operation to get material to the hospitals, are you still hearing evidence from the front line that it is not available in sufficient numbers? it is common. we are hearing that it is available in some areas, absolutely. we are still hearing from some members in some social care settings, that they are not seeing the number of equipment that they need, but they are hearing about the plans to get that equipment to them. it is interesting language you use there. today, as usual colleagues would know better than any of us, they are still doing thejob, last night know better than any of us, they are still doing the job, last night they we re still doing the job, last night they were doing thejob. a plan that it is on its way, that's not ok, is it? nurses will do everything in their

power to protect patients, that is absolutely what they do. that is what they will continue to do. nurses will make sure that they practised this as safely as they possibly can and, absolutely, they need the right equipment in the right place at the right time. can you help us with one of the issues that arose when people began to talk about these two nurses who died? about whether we are getting the information as to the number of nurses who are not able to work at the moment for a number of reasons, self isolating what they think they might have the coronavirus, or the figures on the number of nurses who may sadly have died. do you have confidence that you have those numbers? we understand that in england all trusts are now being required to record these numbers, to record numbers of staff that are offset due to coronavirus symptoms. also, any losses of staff across all

professions, not just also, any losses of staff across all professions, notjust medical colleagues, nursing colleagues, all health care workers. that has been requested in england. we would like to see that across the uk. so you don't yet have that information? we don't yet have that information? we don't have it in the royal college of nursing, but we understand this is not happening in the nhs and social care. every time you speak to nurses or anyone in the medical profession, we spoke to a doctor earlier, they are very open and honest about the reality of what they are doing and the dangers they are about to face. is there in an uncomfortable reality here that you think inevitably more medics and more nurses are likely to lose their life? you when we look at the situation in other countries, we can see that has been the pattern. nurses will do

everything they can to go forward, ticket of patients. you cannot care for a patient outside of a two metre radius. so they will be with patients, giving the best care. it is likely we will see more tragedies and sad cases of loss of health workers because they are more exposed to the virus. thank you very much for your time this morning. the national director of nursing there this morning. we will be back with the headlines shortly.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before nine louise will have the weekend's weather for you. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces as we're urged to stay home to stop

the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, there are fears that scenes like this could be repeated, with people ignoring advice to stay at home. yesterday, it was revealed a further 684 people had died with the virus in the uk injust 24 hours. in the last few minutes, the chief constable of devon and cornwall police has told us people would have to examine their own conscience if they endangered lives by ignoring by ignoring the rules. dave na nt davenant requires the public to play their part. we will convert and as a last resort we will enforce but if a £60 ticket makes you do something and 680 for people dying yesterday didn't, you have to take a good look yourself to see if you recognise the seriousness of a we are aware.

—— where we are. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus. but president trump says he won't be wearing one. the us now has nearly a quarter—of—a—million confirmed cases. here in the uk the advice remains that people do not need to wear one. china, where the coronavirus pandemic began, has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember those who have died. people across the country stopped and bowed their heads to mourn the victims, as sirens and horns sounded. china has officially recorded more than 3,000 deaths since december as a result of the outbreak. almost four months after jeremy corbyn announced he'd be stepping down as leader of the labour party, his replacement will be announced this morning. rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy and keir starmer have each pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out via e—mail alongside details of the number of votes each has received. the new deputy leader will also be announced.

we will speak tonight in a moment about the sport but at the moment, once these very popular. costumes are catching on here are staying at home. there is a new trend in australia. putting the bins out with normally be a normal affair but people are thinking of a different way to take their pens out. i not sure what that is. it is a unicorn. that is emu. that as a horse. there are gorillas, dinosaurs, unicorns and even a skittle. where is your bendy, charlie? it is

wet and stay. will you be putting your insight? you could put that on social media and show us how you have embraced this trend that started in israeli. that is certainly an idea. i can lend you a onesie. i will be doing the bins at night under the cover of darkness. do not be alarmed if you are in mike bushell‘s neighbourhood. do not be alarmed if you are in mike bushell's neighbourhood. let us talk about sport. 0n the back pages, positive headlines for football, stars step up, football doesn't it. this is after the announcement

yesterday. firstly, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a 30 per—cent, pay cut to protect jobs across football. all clubs have agreed to the proposal, and also the top division will make an advanced payment of £125 million to help less well off clubs, in the divisions below, and non—league plus they are giving 20 million to the nhs. and premier league club captains, are also looking at setting up their own fund for health workers. top players had faced scrutiny this week, to do more, to help ease the burden across the sport... premier league are a small percentage of footballers in this country and obviously there are players not in as good a position as premier league players to forfeit their wages. they still have families, mates to feed and mortgages to pay. it has a process that has been dealt with quite quickly, considering. now this time last year, layla guscoth, was getting ready to play for england at the netball world cup. now this year, she's

going to the frontline, of the nhs. she played until very recently in australia, for the adelaide thunderbirds. but layla is also a junior doctor. and, since last monday, she's back in her scrubs, and is part of the team, treating covid 19 patients in birmingham. i'd spoken to the club in australia that i played for, adelaide thunderbirds, maybe a couple of days before the decision to pause and league over there happened and the coach had asked what i would want to do if the league was postponed. i said i would like to come home and they were supportive of that. it's challenging and overwhelming but i am just trying to focus on the things that i know from good sources of information and trying to seek help from the right people. now as naga mentioned earlier, some of us haven't been getting properly dressed, while working from home and isolating not though britain's women's relay team who are raising money for the nhs by doing the "don't rush" makeover challenge, which has become a trend on social media. they pass on the baton,

in this case a trainer, or a medal, and then in a flash, they change, have their make over and are ready for home training. so many of us are becoming expert editors and camera operators during this lock down. quizzes are becoming very popular at the moment, with people stuck at home, and looking for ways to share time, with friends and family online. well, now the team behind a question of sport — the longest running, sports quiz, on tv — aren't letting coronavirus, stop them either. the programme is coming to radio and online this weekend. let's see some tv highlights from the show... we have got calgary, alberta phil. pitifully pronounced. the car comes

into this area top what is this? somersault. which of these facts about former cartons is higher than the number 1255? is it.... i love it. i was watching last night. we can speak now to the captains matt dawson and phil tufnell, who join us from home. morning, chaps. thanks for this. so phil, how will this work on radio when the show is famous for its picture round, and mystery guest videos? it is going to be interesting how it

goes over to radio. we have been having a chat with the producers, it is all going to be great. looking forward to today at two o'clock. it is going to be chaos, simple as that but we will have fun. so matt you'll both have a teamate to help you, and alljoining in from home. i have karen carney, a former england lioness and dion dublin is with phil tufnell. phil tufnell is chuffed to bits with that. it is going to be really good fun. lots of audio clips, commentary, famous five live commentaries. lots of people tuned in to our tv show on a friday night and we thought if they love

it, let us give them more. it's been 15 years someone of a celebration this weekend. now i know both of you have been finding ways to keep yourselves occupied at home — including and how has the home schooling been? you have been following me on instagram. but no home—schooling todayit instagram. but no home—schooling today it is my son's eighth birthday. no homeschooling. so only just sneaking off to do some work for the radio program. happy birthday to him. i love the way you have helped us with the handwashing. let as look at the video.

he hums. all done, 20 seconds. whenever i wash my hands. . .. theme tunes plays. and i can revise all my statistics as well while dancing along. so the question of sport themed change. we heard phil singing. we heard phil singing. while phil you have been trying to get more of us

into dance. your special leotard. 0h your special leota rd. oh my goodness. as the leotard compulsory?” as the leotard compulsory? i think i am going to hang up my neon leg warmers after that. for safety reasons of course. well before you go, to warm you up for tonight, i have a question for you. how many captains have their been on the show since it started? officially i think there have been 13. i have got 14. including you to mike. matt, what did phil do before

going into cricket full time? a lot of people would be thinking about two letters there, i am going to see he was a bricklayer. not too far off, to see he was a bricklayer. not too faroff, a to see he was a bricklayer. not too far off, a quantity surveyor.” to see he was a bricklayer. not too far off, a quantity surveyor. i was being facetious. that is made up. i would not what —— i would not know what a quantitative —— quantity surveyor said. good job mark chapman in setting the questions today. good luck with the show — 2 o'clock today on 5live and bbc sounds at 2 o'clock. the other one i had was that matt is to bea the other one i had was that matt is to be a security guard.”

the other one i had was that matt is to be a security guard. i was a security guard at a school. mark chapman will be the host. all the best at two o'clock today. we still do not know what phil used to be. he was not a quantity surveyor. we learned a lot there. going out on the town may be over for now, but there are plenty of people keeping entertainment alive online. if you're stuck for ideas on how to fill the days at home, our arts correspondent colin paterson has been rounding up the best offerings of this weekend and beyond. coronavirus has led to cancellation after cancellation. glastonbury‘s gone. there's weeping over wimbledon. no points will be given out at eurovision. but it's the start of the school easter holidays and this weekend there's a determination to have free front room fun. here's our guide on how to make it happen. starting with a trip

to edinburgh zoo, one of a number around the uk whose webcams mean their animals can still be seen. no sign of social distancing from these penguins. it's been absolutely amazing, the amount of people that have gone on. we have had over five million throughout march. behind me the penguins are always on the go. so if you want to watch something that's always moving, going in the pool, on their nest, collecting stones, which is exactly what they're doing just now, then the penguins is probably your best bet. or what about a visit to stonehenge? spinal tap memorably sang it's where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face. well, now you can check it through with the stonehenge skyscape. this is actually a camera that's mounted near stonehenge and it gives the impression of being within stonehenge. so you can go on the website any time of day or night and you can see

see what the sky looks like in real time over stonehenge. disney's theme parks are shut all around the globe, but there's still a way to ride their roller—coasters thanks to an unofficial youtube channel. and scenes like this will be happening and living rooms all across the country this weekend. scream if you want to go faster! screaming. the part where it became all black — it was like a big drop and then we were like going sideways into a big black hole. it was super scary. i thought i was going to fall off of it. if you are looking for something rather more cultural, the royal shakespeare company may have had to close its theatres, but 17 of its productions are available to watch free online for 30 days, including king lear. be gone. without our grace, our love, our benison. which, appropriately, shakespeare wrote while quarantined during the great plague.

if you are thinking about your future education, swansea university are actually having a virtual open day today, i wonder if they will virtually get the rugby team to behave badly in the virtual students union. or if you fancy meeting some people from the other side of the globe, why notjoin in a virtual brunch, complete with guest speakers, being hosted in the usa tomorrow. also becoming extremely popular are virtual baking lessons, online pub quizzes — i was second last on one on monday, it still hurts — and there's the rise and rise of the web workout. oh, i'm feeling adventurous. i'm a beginner. let's lift those shoulders up a little bit. nice and slow and controlled. mr motivator is holding classes every midday. trust me. hopefully, we've given you some more right here. enjoy your weekend. colin patterson, bbc news, in the living room.

we want to know how you're planning on making the most of this weekend, whether it's indoors, or making the most of the weather in the garden. tell us what you're up to, or send us your photos and videos. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we have been asking whether watchers to be creative, sendin whether watchers to be creative, send in photographs of what the weather is doing, preferably from inside or perhaps the garden or balcony. this photograph is north tyneside, i am veryjealous of some of the views people have from their garden. look at midlothian at the moment, a very atmospheric shot. a lot of dry weather this weekend. it

is getting warmer and windier, strong southerly ones with plenty of isobars on the chart for the weekend, especially tomorrow. that is driving warm air so the yellow tones pitching right up to scotland for tomorrow. for today, we will see sunshine, a little bit of mist and patchy fog which were left, then plenty of sunshine for england and wales. northern ireland and scotland have a little more cloud, hyclate for some but it could produce the orchard in the afternoon. through the night, this southerly wind will push the clyde and keep clear skies but because it is warm, overnight lows of form — 7 degrees. straightforward start to sunday, a windy day and sunny but also a warmer day. the exception is the

west, we had this area of pressure bringing more cloud to northern ireland and perhaps west scotland, tricky to see and much rain and cloud from that but when in excess of 40 mph. a gusty day across the country at temperatures outside to climb on the site. temperatures in the mid to high teens and perhaps reaching 20 degrees. that will change from sunday into monday. this weather front will push on, a cold front, introducing colder air under westerly wind will take over so perhaps not as on monday. into next week, we see a lot of good dry weather. new excuse for not sending weather. new excuse for not sending weather watcher pictures of the view from your window. back to you. thank you very much. we have been catching up you very much. we have been catching up with people in the last few days.

also with well—known people finding ways to spend the time. sandi toksvig has joined the army of comedians offering online content from her home during the coronavirus outbreak. she has started her own youtube channel — vox tox — in which she puts each day into a historical perspective. let's take a look. sorry, and it leaked. i couldn't find the dog. hello. it is the birthday of sarkis, who does not wa nt to birthday of sarkis, who does not want to celebrate that? people who have a phobia of clients. i could not wear a red nose because my wife andi not wear a red nose because my wife and i could not find anything to make a red nose so i willjust have to keep on drinking. i love the circus, i used to make clown shoes, that was no small feet. sandi toksvig joins us from her home now.

behind you. there is an old —fashioned typewriter and a little box, what is in the corner? talk is through the written. the typewriter i have kept for sentiment, i wrote my first novel on ita sentiment, i wrote my first novel on it a long time ago. the box is for later writing materials because i and respond with a hand written box. there is a small table shaped like a butler. that is where i put my coffee when ice it on the sofa. this isa coffee when ice it on the sofa. this is a sort of posh shared in the garden. have you had enough information? yes, i have shared envy. we are giving away so much more information these days, i am a very private person. i broadcast from the room where we keep all our books. it is unusual to invite

people into your home but needs must. whenever we interview people it is always against bookshelves.” think they want to look clever. there is an element of that.” think they want to look clever. there is an element of that. i wish i was clever. of course you are. so you take a historical event and put a spin on it. what is on the list?” discovered an easing people, yesterday i did a story on lady huston who changed the framework for the second world war and many people will not have heard of. she invested her personal money in the aviation industry and without her we were not have the spitfire and would not have had the success britain had in world war ii. today i am talking about the circus but i am discovering medieval

jeste rs, circus but i am discovering medieval jesters, there were when jesters. many queen of scots had female jester, nicola who was famous. we cannot go out at the moment, we are blessed to have the resources of the intranet. i am blessed to have the resources of the intranet. iam placed blessed to have the resources of the intranet. i am placed with lots of books, if you do not have books, check out the gutenberg project which has thousands of books uploaded to the internet for free. do you wake up in the morning saying i have always wondered what is going on? she is laughing over there. in the morning i am not allowed to have a new idea until my wife has had a cup of tea. you are relentless, that is the impression i get. we have met many times before, i think the world is fascinating and extraordinary. those of us who are well enough to

do this, let as useless time to expand mind is. —— to expand our mind is. i believe we can turn this difficult time into a positive and use it to expand our mains. it will be amazing what you can latch onto. we have been asking our viewers what they have been up to. diane says she has taken part in a virtual tai chi session. you both share theirs.” find a hilarious man online who is called master wong. the accent makes we think he is from birmingham and mucking about. i chose tai chi because it will be very slow. so far all he has done is talk to me.”

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: "forget the sunshine, stay at home and save lives". police forces across the uk urge people to use their common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel. ifa 60 if a 60 point ticket makes you do something, and 684 people died yesterday didn't, i think you need to ta ke yesterday didn't, i think you need to take a good look at yourself as to take a good look at yourself as to whether you realise the significance of where we are.

fresh calls for better protection for front line health workers after the death of two nurses who contracted coronavirus. americans are told to start wearing face masks in public to stop the spread of coronavirus, but president trump says he won't be following the advice. who will be labour's next leader? we'll find out just before 11.00am this morning, asjeremy corbyn's successor is revealed. after days of pressure, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a wage cut of 30% to help ease the financial burden caused by the coronavirus, while club captains look to set up a fund to support the nhs. from the ballroom to her living room. strictly‘s 0ti mabuse will tell us about her mission to get us moving. it's saturday, 4th of april. our top story. use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces across the uk as we're urged

to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, the government says staying at home is an instruction, "not a request". in the past hour here on breakfast, we've heard a direct appealfrom one chief constable for people to stick to the principles of social distancing, as simonjones reports. these were the scenes in snowdonia two weeks ago where many people ignored government advice. crowds flocked to the coast and parks were busy too. now, with even more stringent curbs on our movements in place, the health secretary says staying at home and protecting lives is not a request but an instruction. we're set for a warm weekend in some parts of the country. but the disease is still spreading. and we absolutely cannot afford to relax the social distancing measures that we have in place. we cannot relax our discipline now. if we do, people will die. government regulations state

everyone must stay at home but you can leave under the following circumstances: for one form of exercise a day — the advice is to say as local as possible. you can go out to shop for basic necessities such as food and medicine, but as infrequently as possible. you're also allowed outside of the house for any medical needs or to provide care and assistance to someone vulnerable. and you can travel to work but only if you cannot work from home. an increasing number of councils are instructing dog—owners to keep their pets on a lead in a parks to avoid any risk of dog—walkers coming into contact with each other. in the lake district, police are using social media to tell tourists stay away. in some areas, officers have set up roadblocks to question where drivers are going. the police are being told to engage with people and encourage them to return home. enforcement will be a last resort with initial fines of up to £60.

devon and cornwall police require the public to play their parts. where they do gather, we will come to bear, we will talk, converse, and it needs be, as a last resort, we will enforce. if 684 people does nicky do something, those who died yesterday, you need to take a look at yourself. it is a challenging time forfamilies, at yourself. it is a challenging time for families, too, at yourself. it is a challenging time forfamilies, too, who have been kept up for almost a fortnight. usually people go to the park and the kids would run around and have done. we can do that so we will keep them busy at home. the death of two nurses, areema nasreen and aimee o'rourke, sent a clear message, according to the nhs. please, i ask you to remember areema nasreen and aimee o'rourke. please come stay at home for them. the government and police are hoping that this will be

the norm this weekend in is least normal of times. in the last half—hour, the uk's national director of nursing has told breakfast there was an urgent need for more protectective equipment for nhs staff. nurses are literally everywhere. nurses are literally everywhere. nurses and midwives are in every phase of our lives, from birth to death, working to care for people with chronic disease. all of the nurses need to have protective equipment. we heard yesterday that this equipment is now available, personal protective equipment, masks, gowns, aprons, gloves, eye protection, whatever is needed for whatever setting, we need that to be delivered. i understand there are military operations in place to get this equipment out. we will believe it when we see it. we need to see it in nurses hands in order to be able to practice safely. millions of americans have been told they should now wear a face mask in public, following new medical guidance on coronavirus.

we should be clear that, here in the uk, the advice remains that people do not need to wear one. the us now has nearly a 250,000 confirmed cases, as david willis reports. president trump has long downplayed the severity of the coronavirus and, once again, made plain he doesn't always take the recommendations of his medical staff seriously. the cdc is advising the use of non—medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measure. so it's voluntary. you don't have to do it. they suggest it for a period of time. but this is voluntary. i don't think i'm going to be doing it. the advice to americans to cover theirfaces in public comes in the light of new evidence that suggests the virus can be transmitted, notjust by people who are coughing and sneezing, but by those who have it but don't know they have it. why then is the president rejecting the recommendations of his own advisors?

sitting in the oval office, behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know, somehow i don't see for myself. ijust don't. of the more than a quarter of a million americans currently affected, many are in new york, with the death toll for the coronavirus has now exceeded that of the terrorist attacks of september 11. morgues and hospitals are already inundated and then there's a shortage of masks, gowns, and ventilators, with the anticipated surge in coronavirus cases still weeks away. things could turn out to be even worse in new orleans, where the mardi gras celebrations of late february helped spread the virus before social distancing measures were introduced. music plays. the death rate there is more

than double that of new york and the big easy as just a week away from running out of hospital beds. thank you very much, we'll see you tomorrow. although president trump might not be heeding the call to wear a mask, it seems his wife is taking the recommendation seriously. shortly after her husband's press conference, first lady melania trump tweeted:. the administration's own advisors say close to a quarter of a million people here could die of the coronavirus. conceding the surge cases could be considerable, president trump told reporters "i hope they're wrong". david willis, bbc news, los angeles. china, where the coronavirus pandemic began, has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember those who have died. people across the country stopped and bowed their heads to mourn the victims, as sirens and horns sounded.

china has officially recorded more than 3,000 deaths since december as a result of the outbreak. the new leader of the labour party will be announced via e—mail today, after a specially—planned conference had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. each of the contenders have pre—recorded a victory speech, which will be sent out alongside details of the number of votes they've received. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us from westminster. regardless of the result, the role of the leader of the party in opposition has changed, hasn't it? it has. this is a big moment for the party, but the new leader will be taking over in unprecedented circumstances. sir keir starmer, rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy, they would have been aware of the political challenges facing them

backin political challenges facing them back in january, political challenges facing them back injanuary, that political challenges facing them back in january, that the political challenges facing them back injanuary, that the party had just suffered its biggest election defeat in decades, a party with lots of publicised tensions, but they couldn't have foreseen they would have been taking over in the middle ofa have been taking over in the middle of a global pandemic where the normal rules of politics don't really apply. whoever wins, their first order of business will be to set out how they are going to cope with this pandemic. sir keir starmer is the odds—on favourite. earlier, john ashworth told us that that is who he expects to be the winner. i nominated lisa nandy, she is an old friend of mine. she has impressed everybody in her campaign, but we are all expecting sir keir starmer to win, and i think he will be a successful leader of the labour party. i think he will bring an instructive and forensic approach to

our plan to control the coronavirus. sir keir starmer lad in the previous two rounds, rebecca long—bailey, seem perhaps is the natural heir to jeremy corbyn, her campaign didn't get the momentum that was expected. helen, thank you. as we've been reporting his morning, there is conflicting advice in different parts of the world on whether or not people should be wearing coronavirus masks. millions of americans have now been told they should wear them in public, following new medical advice. however, the guidance in the uk hasn't changed, and they're not recommended. this is what england's deputy chief medical officer said when he was asked for clarity yesterday.

there is no evidence that general wearing of face masks by the public who are well affects the spread of the disease in our society. what matters right now of course a social distancing. let's talk about that and try to answer some of your other coronavirus questions with the virologist dr chris smith, can you give some clarity as to how it is that in america the official advice is not to wear masks. we are taking a different position. what he was saying in his conference yesterday was he had been on the phone to his colleague in hong kong, who has been advising the world health organization on what the official guide and should be to the world. they are of the opinion that there is no good evidence that people can protect themselves over and above those benefits of observing social distancing by

wearing a face mask. at the moment, wearing a face mask. at the moment, we are of the opinion it is not worth doing. the sciences, if you put on a face mask, unless you are properly and it is made of a material which is good at stopping viruses going through, and that is combined with other protective equipment such as protecting eyes, your clothing, so viruses don't land there, so didn't get shaken off and rubbed into your eyes, nose or mouth later, it doesn't add any additional benefit to observing other guidance, things like keeping yourself away from other people. the only exception to this might be that if you put a face mask on and you are highly symptomatic and shedding lots of virus anti cough and sneeze, less will go through the mask, therefore produce a viral aura around you that another person could be then. that is party where they're coming from. if you stay away from other people they will not walk into your viral aura so you won't catch it. leading

on from that, chris, a question from gladys. it is a common question. you have spoken about the viral aura coming from the mouth and nose. gladys asks how long can the virus remain on different surfaces? she is talking about clothing, packaging, groceries etc. people are wondering this a lot. we do have the power of some science to back this up. researchers in america have done the experiment where they have added the virus to surfaces and come back at different times, swap the surfaces and added those swabs to cells in a culture dish, proving that they can get the virus to grow, proving that there was viable virus on that surface. it varies depending on what the surfaces made. some surfaces kill off the virus very quickly,

like copper. i can get rid of the virus injust a minute. steel and plastic you can recover virus for about three days. paper, cardboard, up about three days. paper, cardboard, up to three days. samples of the air, three hours or so. sorry, chris, to interrupt, when you talk about it in the air, that is really surprising. what do you do then if, for example you are isolating at home because one of the family is ill, yes, you've got to isolate for 14 days, but not everyone has huge houses that they can avoid the same airspace. what can you do? this is probably why this statistic is, about 80% of the transmissions are thought to be happening in the household. this is what is in forming the government guidance that of one person in the household gets

it, everyone should isolate as a unit for two weeks, because that is based on the rationale that if you have got at the average incubation time is about five days, that means that if you are infectious, five days later they will get it, then at the end of 14 days everyone will be clear. that should enable everyone in the hosel to catch it. it does hang around in the air. the particles are tiny and there are lots of them in droplets. if you breathe out on a cold day you will see a cloud of steam when you breathe out. the virus particles get into those droplets of moisture and they leave your body and hover in they leave your body and hover in the air. if someone else comes into the air. if someone else comes into the same airspace they can catch it because the infectious dose of the virus is very low. you only need about 20 particles or so to get infected. if that is happening indoors, it is much harder to get

rid of those viruses. if you're outside, that illusion effect will blow away very quickly so your risk is really low. this question from paul edgerton, who says it's impossible to have covid—19 and seasonal flu at the same time? is it possible that a combination of the two is creating some of the complications we are saying and causing some unexplained deaths in otherwise healthy people? causing some unexplained deaths in otherwise healthy people ?m causing some unexplained deaths in otherwise healthy people? it is probably quite unlikely this is going to happen, not least because i was looking in our lab group the other day when the last case of who was that art laboratory picked up. it was two or three weeks ago that we last had a case of flu. we think the flu season is now largely over, so it is unlikely you would run into both of these viruses at the same time. there is no reason why you can catch to viruses at the same time

and we do routinely diagnose people with multiple infections. that said, if you have one infection, because it put your immune system on a heightened alert state, it makes you harder to with other viruses. we don't think, though, that that is what is going on with the people who get severe infections in this case, we think it is something subtle going on about the immune system. doctor sarah jarvis joins us. as going on about the immune system. doctor sarahjarvis joins us. as we a lwa ys doctor sarahjarvis joins us. as we always say, there are no silly questions around this, if you want to know the answer, that's important. this one from john stevenson. how can this virus killed young people with no health problems, yet some old people survive? that is putting it on quite long terms. absolutely. we are all much more aware that this virus can

kill young, healthy people. there was the death of a supposedly healthy 13—year—olds. the problem we have got is that your immune system will fight it off. there are all sorts of factors going on. we know that being older and having conditions which dumped on your immune system reduce your '5 ability to fight this off and increase the likelihood that this virus will get deep into your lungs. the immune syste m deep into your lungs. the immune system is an incredibly complicated thing. there are all sorts of responses going on here. something called our cytokine storm, there are questions of that would increase the likelihood of a severe inflammation inside your lungs. what we have seen with some viruses in the past is that young people with healthy immune systems were adversely

affected. we know that with many infections, such as meningitis, young people, whose immune systems are still developing, tend to be more affected. what we are seeing with corona is that, on the whole, children under ten with corona is that, on the whole, children underten are with corona is that, on the whole, children under ten are the least likely to be severely affected. we are talking one m tens of thousands in terms of the risk of them dying. in yourteens, in terms of the risk of them dying. in your teens, that likelihood is still extremely small. basically, with every passing decade, your likelihood goes up. we think partly thatis likelihood goes up. we think partly that is because with each passing decade you are likely to have problems that could affect your immune system. one person does not win the lottery... if one person has

a one in the 10,000th of a risk of dying, occasionally there immune syste m dying, occasionally there immune system will be overwhelmed, whether because they have an underlying condition or not and they will die. you have been on the programme many times before and often the most poignant questions, the one that ca ptu red poignant questions, the one that captured the heart of it are out of real life. susan is a carerfor her mum and her mum has alzheimer's. she can't walk to a beach, so they want to park at the beach locally, set in the car and enjoy the view. she says it is valuable to our mental health. she can't do that because the seafront in their area has closed. this is the reality, dealing with pa rents this is the reality, dealing with parents without signers, physical conditions, illnesses. life goes on. there is no question about it. i have been very worried about this weekend and next weekend, by which

stage, week five of isolation, is the worst. lots of people are not lucky enough to have gardens. will people be tempted to go out? all i would say is we need to remember that each of us is playing a vital pa rt that each of us is playing a vital part in reducing the spread of this condition. thus far, since the 18th of march when we reach 100 deaths, we have pretty much doubled the numberof we have pretty much doubled the number of people dying in this country from coronavirus every 3.5 days or so. we are still on track for that. but we have now been very much socially distancing, not quite on lockdown, for nearly two weeks and we would expect to see that in 3-4 and we would expect to see that in 3—4 weeks from that date, so in ten days from now, we would really start to reap the benefits of the fact that all of us are doing what we

should. could i pick that up with chris? the message is very clear, one that is our lead story this morning, stay—at—home. what is... if anyone is in any doubt at this stage over the science behind that message, what is the most condensed version you can give us? this virus spreads from an infected person to an uninfected person. if you want to break the chain of that transmission you have to make it as difficult as possible for the virus to do that. i keep up —— keeping people apart, washing hands, not sharing air, that is the best way to break the transmission chain. doctorjarvis, if you could answer that question briefly from susan. i absolutely get

that it would be helpful for your mum to get out, but are there not other ways that you could help her to stimulate? memory boxes, looking at things from her past, showing her photographs of the beach and so on. i know this is tough, but we are talking about a relatively short space of time. all hope that in three months or so we might be able to start to relax some of those restrictions. it is so tough are so many people. thank you both so much. thank you for your expertise and your kindness this morning. throughout the programme this morning we are alongside... we are talking to you about how you will rise to the challenge of what to do at home, how to make the best of it. keep us posted with your ideas throughout the programme. here's louise with a look

at this morning's weather. just having the heating offer starters is nice, isn't it? having a window open, listening to the birds that are going crazy at this time of year. if you want cheering up, go on to the bbc weather watchers website. there are great photographs of people because my fuse from their window. this is eastbourne this morning. the fog are starting to lift away here. this is shetland. yes, it's raining in shetland at the moment. there is a weak weather fronts in the north, that will perhaps lingerfor a fronts in the north, that will perhaps linger for a time today. this is the story across the uk. high pressure is drifting off into europe. the winds will strengthen as

we go through the weekend, particularly tomorrow there will be a gusty, southerly wind. that will drive warm air across the country. temperatures will be above average for the time of year. generally, across the day to day, england and wales are likely to see the best sunshine. there will be high cloud across northern ireland and scotland and still a few isolated showers. even the rain in shetland continuing on and off through the afternoon. here, 7—11 degrees to high, but we could see up to 16 celsius in the south. at southerly wind will start to pick up through the night. it will drive the cloud away, so clear skies generally across the country, but don't forget is pushing that warmerair but don't forget is pushing that warmer air mass across the country. it will not be a cold start to sunday morning, between four and 7

degrees to begin with, and lots of sunshine around on sunday. it will be windy with it. the low pressure out to the west could bring more cloud, may be some outbreaks of rain by the end of the afternoon. we will keep an eye on that. the same for western fringes of scotland and wales, as well. once here costing in excess of 40 miles an hour in places. a blustery afternoon for all. the temperatures will respond. so it will be a windy day, and sunny day, and a warmer day with temperatures peaking with highs of 20 degrees, 68 fahrenheit. if you area 20 degrees, 68 fahrenheit. if you are a hay fever sufferer in the south—east in particular, it looks like the pollen will be high. that could ease a touch as we move into monday because that low pressure will push in. it is a cold front. it will push in. it is a cold front. it will introduce something a bit fresher. the rainbow clear through,

sunny spells will return, but you will notice the difference in the feel of the weather on sunday. the warmth stays with us for much of the week. he looked distracted there, where you thinking about food? i see a little picture on the site monitor here, a lot of waving and business going on, kisses being blown to each other. there is a lot of love in your studio, isn't there? there is. our special guest today is very friendly with the floor manager, it is one of her celebrity mates. you to see that. we are following all the guidelines in the studio today and staying safe. we have some great dishes that you able to make. tom

allen is a special guest today and we have asked him to have a good old rummage in his cupboards and come up with some ingredients that we can use. what inspiration have you got for us? i have a carrot, parsnip, and a very good attitude. brilliant. anna is here. how are you? very good. i anna is here. how are you? very good. lam anna is here. how are you? very good. i am going to kick a flatbread with a cooked egg and some asparagus. also i'm going to stuff some delicious vanilla doughnuts with cream and home—made jam. some delicious vanilla doughnuts with cream and home-made jam. yum. ollie is at home today in his dining room. the vote today is what you would like to see me cook with tom's ingredients. just go to the website for details. we will see you at ten o'clock. let me ask you a question

about the doughnuts. i don't like the hard sugar on doughnuts, i only like the soft doughnuts. look at the face on that. you must be a dream to go out to dinner with. he has gone all red! we have the headlines coming up injust a moment.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before ten, louise will have the weekend's weather forecast for you. but first a summary of this morning's main news. use your common sense and avoid all unnecessary travel — that's the plea from police forces across the uk as we're urged to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. with warm temperatures forecast, the government says staying at home is an instruction, "not a request". earlier here on breakfast we've heard a direct appealfrom one chief constable for people to stick to the principles of social distancing. devon and required the public to play their part. where they do

gather, we will come to that, we will convert and as a last resort we will convert and as a last resort we will enforce. will convert and as a last resort we will enforce. if a £60 ticket makes you do something, and 684 people died yesterday didn't, i think you need to take a good look at yourself as to whether you realise the seriousness and significance of where we are. it's taken nine days and a team of hundreds of soldiers, carpenters and other volunteers — but the new nhs nightingale hospital in london is now open and ready to treat up to 4,000 intensive care patients. the first are expected to arrive next week. in a minute we'll talk to the man behind the operation, but first let's hear the words ofjessica mok, one of the volunteer doctors who will be treating patients there. earlier she told breakfast how she was feeling about the huge challenge ahead. i definitely am apprehensive about what is to come. and scared i will be sick so i can't work which will leave my colleagues short. i am scared i will come home to my

partner and i will affect him. i'm scared of the psychological impact it might have on myself in the future but i do know there is a lot of support out there and throughout the training that is what is discussed with as that there is a huge level of support that will be there. hopefully there will be a lot of doctors and nurses who are in the same situation. i am looking forward to working with this huge team in this huge hospital, really excited. she made a huge impact. we wish her all the best. it is time to talk sport. good

morning. good morning. it has been a difficult week but football has been getting favourable headlines, a cut above. getting favourable headlines, a cut above. firstly, premier league clubs will ask their players to take a 30 per—cent, pay cut to protect jobs across football. all clubs have agreed to the proposal, and also the top division will make an advanced payment of 125 million to help less well off clubs, in the divisions below, and non—league. plus they are giving 20 million to the nhs. and premier league club captains, are also looking at setting up their own fund for health workers. top players had faced scrutiny this week, to do more, to help ease the burden across the sport... premier league are a small percentage of professional footballers in this country and obviously there are players not in as good a position as premier league players

to forfeit their wages. they still have families, mouths to feed and mortgages to pay. it is a process that has been dealt with quite quickly, considering. now this time last year, layla guscoth, was getting ready to play for england at the netball world cup. now this year, she's going to the frontline, of the nhs. she played until very recently in australia, for the adelaide thunderbirds. but layla is also a junior doctor. and, since last monday, she's back in her scrubs, and is part of the team, treating covid 19 patients in birmingham. i'd spoken to the club in australia that i played for, adelaide thunderbirds, maybe a couple of days before the decision to pause our league over there happened and the coach had asked what i would want to do if the league was postponed. i said i would like to come home and they were supportive of that. it's challenging and overwhelming but i am just trying to focus on the things that i know from good sources of information and trying to seek

help from the right people. fantastic effort. now it was supposed to be the biggest day of the racing calendar, the grand national at aintree, and even though the meeting was cancelled due to the corona virus, a televised, virtual race will still take place later today. 40 runners who experts think, would have been likely, to line up, will take part, using the latest computer technology, with bookies setting the odds and taking bets, and giving all profits to nhs charities together. the computer will decide. they put all sorts of algorithms into regarding horse form, trainer forum, the ground, what the horse has been doing recently. recently being before the end of racing. recently being before the end of racing. more football at lunchtime, on footbal focus with dan, and a first. the first football focus to come from dan's home, featuring calum hudson odoi, of chelsea and sheffield united manager chris wilder, also youngsters creating classic goals.

one of those each week. thank you very much. they're used to selling to pubs, restaurants and school kitchens but wholesalers are now helping to feed the family, after the coronavirus closed the door to the hospitality industry. some suppliers are also providing hundreds of thousands of food parcels for elderly and vulnerable people. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. it is not your usual weekly show. this is a new drive through click and collect service at a new drive through click and collect service to fit warehouse and eggs —— in essex. lam fit warehouse and eggs —— in essex. i am shopping for my extended family solam i am shopping for my extended family so i am getting for myself and my sisters and i will split up and job to them. i am a teacher so i am out and about but i prefer not to be in the shops so this has been a great

help. my daughter lives on tomato sauce. she hasjust come back from university and i have realised what she has been eating. just some baking. it is fascinating to see what some people are stocking up on, the most popular items, pasta, flour, big beans and tomato ketchup. supermarkets are struggling to stop basic items but there is plenty of that year. most of the third at the steeple is super—sized from tens of beans to bags of pasta. wholesalers generally do not sell direct to consumers but since the service provider lost 40% of its orders overnight it then switched its business model to sell direct to business model to sell direct to business —— to local communities instead. it is a no-brainer, we celebrated on the supermarkets and the vulnerability of the community so we turned on the click and

collect to help service those individuals. that includes government emergency food parcels. they could sin—bin making a quarter ofa they could sin—bin making a quarter of a million deliveries a week from across the uk depots. here's another business which is cooked up another way of working. this kitchen company would normally have 25 ships on deck but its corporate clients are on lockdown saw a skeleton team is making meals for emergency workers and churning out boxes for sale. the boxes are a lot cheaper than we would normally sell. to get something cheaper under the same time supplying people who get out. we are normally bustling at this time of year but right now we are just doing enough to get some cash in and help the community. businesses are having to adapt fast. with it at least, if you are able to supply right now, there is no shortage in demand.

so everyone is trying to help. yesterday we celebrated our first bbc breakfast hero half hour — giving you the opportunity to thank all the people working hard to make a difference to your lives during the coronavirus outbreak. we are all hearing about nhs staff, they are first and foremost. but little things count as well. but little things count as well. lots of you have been getting in touch and sending us your special messages. let's a take a look at a few of them i want to see a big thank you to teachers, teaching assistants, of the staff, cleaners, caretakers, of the staff, cleaners, caretakers, of the staff, cleaners, caretakers, of the staff and everybody who i working so hard to make sure the running of our schools are going so quickly. thank you to my sister who isa quickly. thank you to my sister who is a nurse working hard for the nhs. thank you to the rest of the nhs staff. i want to see a huge thank you to all of those who work in safe

we're joined now by professorjames calder, who is the clinical lead for the new hospital. very good to you. good morning. the rest of us have been looking at this and thinking logistically, this is and thinking logistically, this is an extraordinary thing that has happened. you must be rubbing your hands in glee thinking we are just about to get going?” hands in glee thinking we are just about to get going? i am one of many people. there are people much higher than me who made this work. logistically, it's been phenomenal. this is being rolled out throughout the whole of the uk. other nightingales have been setup. certain people need special mention. we have had an amazing response from the nhs staff, staff coming back from retirement and volunteering to come here but there are also other

volunteers from different organisations. not aligned normally to the nhs. rubicon is ex military veterans who have come in and have specialist skills which we can utilise. 14 of them yesterday. we have the first aid nursing yeomanry which have been employed in various areas, after terrorist attacks in manchester and london. they have come here to support families. they have great experience. many curie and many other organisations have been brilliant. it is on eating her everyone has got together. if you look back a few months ago, the country was a bit fractious, we had different opinions on plexus and things like this. but now we have one team working throughout the country. — — one team working throughout the country. —— opinions on brexit.”

understand have drivers, in amongst the different levels of people who are crucial, you had lots of volunteers. possibly you might not thought they would be crucial to the operation. yes, the london cab drivers to put a team together. we can use an in different spatial scales, not just transport can use an in different spatial scales, notjust transport but can use an in different spatial scales, not just transport but for some of the administration. we just don't have capacity. thousands of people need to be involved to run this and they came up straightaway. talk about some of the clinical details, given the risk of infection of coronavirus, this is an unheard—of challenge, how do you go about making sure such a huge facility will be safer clinical staff? there has been a lot in the press about ppe, we cannot open and we will not open unless we can protect our staff. it is about

treating patients and protecting staff. also the mental well for staff. also the mental well for staff. it is a very stressful situation, we acknowledge that. we had specific mental health experts advising us on how to make sure our staff are protected and can raise concerns. a lot of this is learn from the military, we know stressful situations do not result in mental harm but as long as people are prepared to let themselves know what they are in for, they can adjust and can have mechanisms in place to see the feeling down at the moment. that is normal but we need to have mechanisms in place to make sure they can acknowledge that and we can acknowledge their mental health as well. that is a very important point. we are talking to a lot of medics on this programme who are involved in this, they are open about seeing that are genuine concerns they have and at times they

are scared. we had from one doctor who will be working at nightingale with you, she said that she was scared about the situation but she is scared more about passing the virus on. you obviously have to make sure the aerial cable with physically and mentally. absolutely. as theyjoin, we have to acknowledge some people may have at risk people at home. those people, if they have to go back home again, is this the right place for them to work? we need to make sure they understand that and they might need to isolate for two weeks after they have been here, that comes in from the induction process. it is not easy, it isa induction process. it is not easy, it is a work in progress.” induction process. it is not easy, it is a work in progress. i am sure we will learn as we go along. this

is throughout the whole of the nhs, it is evolving as we go along. we will not get it right first time. everyone in the nhs naturally —— nationally understands that. a lot of people will be watching you this morning, it looks like a nice day down there, you have an epic task ahead of you and we wish you all the best. thanks to all the nhs staff and all the volunteers so thank you. that is professor james and all the volunteers so thank you. that is professorjames calder looking ahead to nhs nightingale, the excel centre in london which has been transformed. we have some news just ten, there has been a lot of discussion about their coronavirus outbreak injails discussion about their coronavirus outbreak in jails and the impact on local hospitals as a result. the government is now preparing to free up government is now preparing to free up to 3500 prisoners in england and

wales because of their coronavirus. there are around 90,000 prisoners in the uk but this isjust for england and wales. they are saying that sex offenders and those convicted of violent crimes are excluded from the early release scheme. in terms of the numbers, 88 prisoners across 29 jails had tested positive for the virus with a further 1200 believed to be self isolating. the news is coming through and we are understanding it could be freeing up to 40,000 prisoners from jail in england and wales. charlie mentioned sex offenders and those convicted of violent crimes are excluded, but it will be mainly for inmates who have two months early to serve and will be released on temporary licence.

there is a tweet saying ministers did not want to take suck —— such action but they are concerned local hospitals will be overwhelmed if prisoners continue to take el. more news on that and we shall continue on the news channel. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. thanks. all morning i have been showing you weather watcher pictures from their window. i thought i would show you this one, if you are popping outside to exercise, you might be greeted by lovely blue skies and sunshine. this was leicestershi re skies and sunshine. this was leicestershire but it is indicative ofa leicestershire but it is indicative of a lot of the country. not everywhere, this is the northern isles. a beautiful view from morag, thank you very much but it is raining. you could see persistent raining. you could see persistent rain across the northern isles for

the day, tied into this weather front. a southerly rental takeover through the weekend, strengthening to gale force gusts on exposed coasts but it is a warm went, coming up coasts but it is a warm went, coming up from the site, dragging in warm airfrom the near up from the site, dragging in warm air from the near continent. southern exceeded temperatures will climb. for the rest of today, england and wales see the best of any breaks and sunny spells as we have already seen from the weather watcher pictures this morning. northern ireland and scotland a few more clients. there is showery rain across the northern isles as well. 7-11d across the northern isles as well. 7—11d their high but it could reach 16 degrees in sunny spots. through the night, this southerly wind will push the cloud up to the north, peter skies elsewhere. warm air is the temperatures will be above

freezing, temperatures likely to sit around for — 7 degrees. more on the way of sunshine tomorrow morning from the word go. being in mind that the wind will strengthen so more sunshine, stronger when at the temperatures will climb as well. an area of low pressure at the west which will bring more cloud to northern ireland and perhaps to the fringes of scotland as well and wheels. gusts of wind in excess of 40 mails and errors. but because it is coming from the south, temperatures will respond. we could see 12—17d, perhaps 20 degrees on the south—east. i will be back tomorrow with more details. whatever you are doing, take care and have a good day. thank you very much. this will be music to the ears of cain.

he said he will be planting tomato seeds in his carton. —— in his garden. is this a good time to plant? of course it is said gareth director. i think this is when you plant things. you can see we are keen gardeners? we are being creative and engaging. perhaps you should take up dancing lessons. if you've always fancied taking up dancing lessons, but maybe been too shy to go to a class, then now could be your time to shine. because strictly winner 0ti mabuse and her husband marius are giving live lessons to the nation — and you don't even need to leave the house. we'll talk to 0ti in a minute, but first let's see them in action. 12 left. 12, backside. one, two,

three, for, five, six, 78. one, two, turn. all the way up. one, two, three, for. jump, jump, jump. five, six, back. one, two, three backwards. and turn. one, two, three, back. that is the way to do it. and we can now talk to 0ti from her home in london...

good morning. is thatjust a normal day in your house? that isjust normal and with the past week, it is what we do all day now. we finish at ten o'clock at night, did not know we can do so much dancing.” ten o'clock at night, did not know we can do so much dancing. i love the instruction, scoop, things like that. easy instructions and that is key. yes. we wanted to make it dancing for everyone, for people who have never danced before and who are not shy to do it around other people and around kids. we know kids have not done latin and ballroom, we are not done latin and ballroom, we are not trying to build up wild champions but just to not trying to build up wild champions butjust to get dancing. so whatever we can do to help them learn the dance. let as do some

logistics, if you live in a house with a cramped room. is that your front room? with a cramped room. is that your front room ? all the with a cramped room. is that your front room? all the furniture is pushed to the site and what if you have a carpeted floor, can you still dance there? yes, the whole point is to do it in one sport, you can do it in the kitchen, bedroom, living room. we have moved everything to one side and the camera is on the corner but everything we do is about four steps forward and back and it moves from left to right so you do not need a lot of space. it's about being busy, doing something positive and had inconsistency with the routine. when i started this thing with karen, we wanted people to have a routine and feel good and confident about what they are doing.

you mention karen hauer, another strictly professional. how have you been organising the routines?m strictly professional. how have you been organising the routines? it has been organising the routines? it has been amazing. i started with a whole week of my own classes, morning and evening. i went to instagram and socially visiting the same so i said why not come together and do things with people who want to be part of something and need a routine so we decided, yes. it kept growing. she has a programme where you work out and sing at the same time. you get the full work—out but you get to things so you do not feel the. it is followed by my class. then she does a stretch. then i do my evening classes. then we added a make—up

class. and we did some baking. there isa class. and we did some baking. there is a lot of things going every single day. we added sections where we bring in friends. this weekend dave myers will be cooking and greg rutherford will be kicking on sunday. give us a tip, what is the go to music track that you put on and will want to move a citizen comes on? mine is can't stop the feeling byjustin comes on? mine is can't stop the feeling by justin timberla ke comes on? mine is can't stop the feeling byjustin timberlake from the movie tools. i love the message of the movie. that is my song. ——trolls. what is your song? i cannot think of one of the top of my head. mine is

footless. can't help dancing to that. it is a great song. that's all from us this morning, but breakfast will be back tomorrow from six. enjoy your day. good bye!

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. with good weather expected both here in the uk and europe, police are urging people to stick to the strict lockdown restrictions. in the uk, police say they will only use their authority if they have to. when we come to enforcement, that really is the last resort because, in a way, if we come to enforcement, then everybody has failed to understand the significance of this endeavour. the authorities in france say they will crack down on any holiday makers attempting to travel. emotional tributes are paid to two nhs nurses in england who died after contracting coronavirus, each leaving behind three children. china remembers — klaxons sound across the country for the thousands
