those with a creative bent... and who's got the virus and who hasn't, those with a lot of time on our and also who's been infected, hands because they are at home, got better, following the advice. they are and should have some immunity. at the same time, there'll need to be contact tracing, doctoring the advice videos that we that's keeping track of any new cases and everyone who has have seen. that is the interesting been close to them, to prevent new outbreaks from emerging. but all of this point. i notice the statement by the is still being worked out. this is the most important question worldwide. no country has an chief constable livingstone he very absolute answer to it. there is very intense research publicly says that individuals must going on as to how we do not make personal exemptions bespoke actually get out of this. to their own circumstances. and as we warned in our original police officers and staff, putting report which, you know, themselves in harms way day and came out the same day night, to explain his instructions as the lockdown was announced, to our communities, encourage cooperation and we will, if that exit strategies from this necessary , e nfo rce cooperation and we will, if were very problematic, necessary, enforce them. that is what he is accusing her doing. the were challenging. vital to any progress reason this is so striking, beyond against the virus is research. the obvious, there is not much there is a massive scientific effort su btle the obvious, there is not much subtle in the story, is that the under way around the world on several key fronts. central challenge for the governments around the uk, and the first of these is to find ways around the world who are trying to of making tests quicker and cheaper than they are now. this is essential work. impose variations unlocked is that

you have to be a couple of weeks and —— before there is any evidence in there's also a race to find treatments for covid—19, the medical data to indicate if it has worked. as far as a northern to help patients improve their chances of recovery. and the search for vaccines hemisphere is concerned we are is accelerating, but to make sure they work and they're safe heading into summer, we have good weather in the corner and the all takes time. temptation is for people to god, already criticised for being slow particularly for people who might be on testing for the virus, living in flats, —— for people to go the government is also under pressure out. they can go to the park free to come up with an exit strategy. that's the demand from exercise, but not for a picnic. and the new leader of the opposition. he to summon his fortunate enough to we do need an exit strategy, and one of the things i've said have more than one home and doing the very thing that we have been today is the government needs to publish its exit strategy. told that is absolutely key to avoid people want to know, how does this end? — unnecessary journeys beyond it seems to me it's a combination told that is absolutely key to avoid — unnecessaryjourneys beyond the need to go to work if you cannot work from home, and going for of testing and then a vaccine. in paris, drones are used medical payments, or to buy food as by the police infrequently as possible. —— going to warn people to stay indoors. for medical appointments. i do every government is wrestling wonder how long she will actually with how best to tackle the virus — not just now remain in post. as far as nicola but also in the months ahead. david shukman, bbc news. sturgeon, scotland's first minister is concerned, she values her advice

will revisit after coronavirus has been dealt with, but for now you do the country has registered just over 130,000 cases, not really want to change horses in the second highest in the world the middle of a public health crisis. what is key throughout this thing is the fact that the public after the united states. have confidence in these professionals and any politicians who are asking us all to stay at and remember, you can watch the queen's message here home and for most people in scotland in just over an hour today, they have felt like there at at eight o'clock. we re today, they have felt like there were two roles for people in we're back with scotland, one for the government and the late news at ten. one for the rest of us —— two rules. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. that is where there has been a real drive now to see the chief medical officer actually take a step back. but we need to make sure we have professionals in place you can a nswer professionals in place you can answer key questions. i have spent the whole day trying to respond to e—mails about pp for nhs more now on the warning professionals, access mental health from the government that outdoor exercise could be banned support and testing here in scotland. sending us to the if the public continues to flout the rules around social government, it had not had any distancing aimed at preventing responses because i believe today the spread of coronavirus. has been all about press management a further 621 people have died of the story. we need to actually get back to what is really important in scotland and that is making sure that we are ready to fight covid—i9 over the coming days and weeks. because we know... sorry to

by the queen are rare. they're reserved for moments of particular national significance. ourjob is bringing god and people together. speaking about the situation facing most of time, people think the nation, the queen will say... it's hard to meet with god, now it's hard to meet face—to—face with people. we have to think freshly. just hearing a voice, seeing a face, is far more valuable than an e—mail from them or a text from them. she will pay tribute to all those it has been incredible, on the nhs front line, being able to still know that when to care workers, and those carrying you are watching, there are out essential roles, literally hundreds, if not thousands and recognise the pain already watching the services in the felt by many families, as well as thanking those morning, and also knowing that it's notjust london. following the government people are watching guidelines by staying at home. she will say... all over the world. and that of course would never have happened before this. this church has inadvertently stumbled upon a new way of worshipping, and a local congregation has become a global one.

thousand deaths in the us in total, wet weather, though, courtesy of a weather front finally with new york accounting for more than three—and—a half pushing its way into the west through the evening. some quite heavy bursts of rain for a while, the rain extends further east thousand fatalities. across scotland into northern england through the small hours, becomes patchier further south, but we keep that southerly airstream. so these are our overnight lows. they are figures more typical of our daytime highs at this point in april. so a very mild start to monday. an olympic hopeful rower — by first thing, the front will be who was aiming for a medal in tokyo — is instead spending this summer pulling across eastern england. working in a hospital tackling coronavirus. it could take a while for some philip doyle has returned of the rain here to get out to his frontlinejob in the nhs — and he spoke to our correspondent of the way and then, behind it, instead of a southerly holly hamilton spokes to him wind, we are left with before his first shift. a westerly or south—westerly. for county down rower philip doyle, so wet, i think, to start the day for parts of the south—east this might feel like a lifetime ago, as he and his partner secured a spot and east anglia, drier come the afternoon. some showers further west, at the tokyo olympics last summer. here come ireland, the crowd but pretty well—scattered. is on their feet, china first, the winds lighter than today, ireland silver medal! especially across the southern half of the uk, but still quite gusty but like thousands of other athletes, he is dealing towards the north—west. with the disappointment of the games' postponement. i suppose we just have another 12 months of preparation time,

so i am not feeling too bad, everything happens for a reason, just have to get on with it. this is bbc news with the latest with his olympic dream now on hold, headlines for viewers in the uk the qualified doctor has decided and around the world. to return to the nhs and tackle the queen is to make a rare special broadcast to the uk the coronavirus nightmare head on. and the commonwealth — stressing the value so i will be helping out of self—discipline and resolve. within the medical team on a general medicine ward. the uk government warns it could step up limits on outdoor exercise if people continue to flout my consultant gave me a phone call on saturday social distancing rules. morning and just said, i say this to the small minority listen, we don't have things set up, of people who are breaking the rules or pushing the boundaries — because i was only on the phone you are risking your own life to them wednesday last week, and the lives of others and you're begging for a job! so they were like, yeah, making it harder us all. we have one for you, come on up. medicine has always been number one, making it harder for us all. and to be honest i have missed that element of my life over the last few scotland's chief medical officer months, so i will be withdraws from media briefings glad to be back to it, after breaking her own advice even though i go back to rowing and travelling to her holiday home. spain reports a fall after it again. in its daily death toll 2019 was a breakthrough some for a third consecutive day. of philip and his partner, a breakthrough summer. who caused something of a surprise

by winning silver at the world cup regatta in rotterdam. with an olympic medal still firmly in his sights, he admits the current restrictions have been difficult. if anyone has been on a rowing machine, it is not very stimulating. out on the water is beautiful, you have got lovely scenery, you see yourself going past the hedges, but inside, nothing moves, just you, and it is the same movement 2000 3000 times each session, and it is very change it isa it is a very welcome change for the next few months but it will be very challenging to continue in full training programme alongside that. what you are doing, returning to hospital at this time of crisis, it is quite remarkable. i wouldn't say that, there are people in the world who have done more with less, so i am lucky that i have a great support network, the national rowing federation behind me, some people don't have the equipment. like i have it all set up,

and there are a lot of people doing more with less in the world. so i suppose you can't give yourself a pat on the back too often, you just have to get on with it. and that is exactly what is olympic rower has been doing, straight in at the deep end. let's hope we can keep that smile in the coming days and weeks. good luck to him. the owner of the longleat estate in wiltshire has died at the age of 87 after testing positive for coronavirus. the 7th marquess of bath, who was famous for his eccentricity, died on saturday after being admitted to the royal united hospital in bath about a week ago. longleat safari park confirmed the news in a facebook post on sunday, expressing their "deepest sadness". the added: "the family would like to express their great appreciation for the dedicated team of nurses, doctors and other staff who cared so professionally and compassionately for alexander in these extremely difficult times".

let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather prospects. any moment we will be joining viewers on bbc one for the latest national and international news but feisty weather. hello there. there's a lot of fine weather across the uk at the moment. high pressure is to thank for that. and it's been bringing a lot of sunshine to many gardens on sunday. this was cambridgeshire a little earlier. not to all, though — lanarkshire. hazier sunshine to the north and west of the uk in general because we have got a frontal system that is draping its way around the north—west of the high. notice how that cloud is kind of streaming its way northwards out of spain. a strong southerly air stream — that is what has been pulling in such warm air. and that strong southerly wind will continue through this evening and overnight. it will, perhaps, ease back a little through the small hours. wet weather, though, courtesy of a weather front finally pushing its way into the west through the evening.

some quite heavy bursts of rain for a while, the rain extends further east across scotland into northern england through the small hours, becomes patchier further south, but we keep that southerly airstream. so these are our overnight lows. they are figures more typical of our daytime highs at this point in april. so a very mild start to monday. by first thing, the front will be pulling across eastern england. it could take a while for some of the rain here to get out of the way and then, behind it, instead of a southerly wind, we are left with a westerly or south—westerly. so wet, i think, to start the day for parts of the south—east and east anglia, drier come the afternoon. some showers further west, but pretty well—scattered. the winds lighter than today, especially across the southern half of the uk, but still quite gusty towards the north—west. but thanks to the changing wind direction, a fresher feel for monday — ii or 12 to the north of the uk, perhaps 17 or 18 further south. but let's see how the rest of the week is set to play out. i should mention behind that weather front for monday, we should have some clearer air in terms of pollen levels for england and wales so a relief

for those who suffer with tree pollen. we look ahead into the rest of the week and the high pressure starts to bulge across us again from europe and what that, once again, will do is introduce much warmer air, aside from across the far north of scotland where a weather front mayjust come into play. so our outlook for the week ahead is one featuring a lot of settled weather, a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine and, if anything, our temperatures will start to rise, perhaps even higher than they have been through the weekend, 00:32:28,279 --> 2147483051:52:58,854 for the second half 2147483051:52:58,854 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 of the week onwards.
