a decade ago, the banks were part—nationalised. this time it could be parts of the entire economy. simon jack, bbc news. so, in the midst of a full—blown national crisis, the prime minister is having to spend his third night in hospital — the second in intensive care — suffering from the very disease that's caused turmoil in the uk and around the world. our home editor mark easton has been to the prime minister's parliamentary constituency of uxbridge in west london to find out what people there think about the events of the past few days. in the midst of a national emergency, the country's leader is on the front line fighting a personal battle with the enemy that threatens us all. in borisjohnson‘s constituency today, people of all political persuasions said their thoughts and prayers were focused on the member for uxbridge and south ruislip.

prayers. prayers for all of them. he is a front liner. i'm not sure what we can do without him at the moment. who knows? whether you agree with his politics, he's a person with a family who love him and we are praying he gets well soon. it's got out of control, as far as i'm concerned, there is nothing he can do, and i hope he's all right. good luck, boris. whatever people's opinion borisjohnson, is extravagant personality means he has an air of indestructibility that makes his need for intensive care all the more shocking and disturbing. the head of the nation, near enough, and he's a strong, healthy man and he's gone down just like that. it just shows that people who aren't taking it seriously, no one is untouchable. prince charles got it before him and that was a big shock and obviously it can affect anybody. when somebody like him goes down with it, we all have to take notice, don't we? in leeds today, the sentiments were similar. right now the country wants a leader to guide

the nation through the crisis. i'm feeling a bit more nervous. because he's supposed to be helping us and telling us what to do, but yeah, ijust hope he recovers. i don't agree with his policies but to see anyone in that condition brings it home. no, i feel sorry for him, especially having that job. with the focus of the nation on the prime minister in his hospital bed, so our thoughts are on the front line and the remarkable nhs staff who risk their own lives caring for him and countless others. mark easton, bbc news. let's go back to our political editor laura kuenssberg at westminster. in that news briefing today you asked specifically several times about decision—making and who was making the very difficult decisions at the heart of government. what did you make of those responses?”

at the heart of government. what did you make of those responses? i think the government is certainly feeling the government is certainly feeling the absence of borisjohnson right now. i think the mood in downing street is quite surreal and there is the sense ministers were shocked borisjohnson ended the sense ministers were shocked boris johnson ended up the sense ministers were shocked borisjohnson ended up being taken to intensive care last night. but it's important to point out there is a structured and a system in place. there is a cabinet that will have to work ina there is a cabinet that will have to work in a different way without their ultimate arbiter being there, but in the short term clearly there isa but in the short term clearly there is a machine up and running dealing with pressing issues and trying to make sure the nhs has exactly what it needs trying to grapple with the best ways of controlling the disease and to providing assistance to those people who need it immediately because of the impact on the economy thatis because of the impact on the economy that is being felt right now as we we re that is being felt right now as we were hearing from simon a few minutes ago. i think the question of when and how the prime minister can return is so urgent because before too long the government will have to be discussing and may be facing up to some of the dilemmas and trade—offs about how this disease

has affected the country in the medium to long term, particularly in what the shutdown will mean for the economy, because without question this has affected the country and may well change the country in ways that the government and certainly none of us could ever have fully anticipated, with so much still unknown. laura kuenssberg, many thanks to you at westminster. that's it. newsnight is starting on bbc two at 10:45pm and now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. this is what must be done. personally i think it's quite let the decided to take the zirconium measures. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

welcome to viewers on the bbc news channel. you've joined us just in time for our first review of tomorrow's newspapers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are barbara speed, opinion editorfor the i newspaper, and laura hughes, political and diplomatic correspondent for the financial times. tomorrow's front pages are in. most of the papers leading on that same story — borisjohnson spending a second night in intensive care. the mirror leads with the well wishes that the queen sent to the prime minister's partner, carrie symonds. the sun says he stayed at work for "you", so you should stay at home and pray for him. the metro also showing solidarity with the pm,

saying, "we're with you boris." the telegraph wonders who will make the call on lockdown? they wonder who's making those decisions while the pm is incapacitated. the times say "help us find antibody test". they report that ministers are asking leading biotech firms to help them make that test. the ft says that the british government has admitted that germany's testing model offers "route out". so, let's begin. the mirror starts with the queen sending word to carrie giving the widerfamily sending word to carrie giving the wider family support for boris johnson if he gets treatment in hospital today. the queen has followed up impressively her speech on sunday which struck a really impressive tone for the nation at large. i think republicans and others were very moved because of her focus on the circle by the order

people in this time in a pandemic and she mentioned the speech her father gave to evacuated children during the second world war. and hereby sending her messages to carrie she is thinking of those who are at home their husbands are in intensive care. it is a difficult time. bringing you in here, lower, it isa time. bringing you in here, lower, it is a really hard time not only for boris but also for cari so i'm sure she appreciates the message given she is heavily pregnant and in isolation suffering from coronavirus resell. i think any human being at this time will put their policies to one side and cannot help but empathize and really feel for carrie, who we assume is still on her own. she herself suffered from coronavirus but is doing a lot

better. she is really quite pregnant and it is a really difficult time for a lot of women who are pregnant, myself included because everything is not quite normal. and for allowing women who are approaching giving birth, they might have had their birth plans changed or been told that partners cannot come to appointments, cannot come to scans. and you cannot even begin to imagine what it must be like for her and so we have seen what it must be like for her and so we have seen warm what it must be like for her and so we have seen warm wishes sent to her and also the prime minister from everyone really across the political spectrum. and yes the queen who as you mentioned gave a really powerful speech from her own home on sunday evening, reaching out because it clearly is a terrifying time for a lot of people. and i think many of us are lot of people. and i think many of us are quite floored by how quickly the prime minister's condition deteriorated and the fact that he was moved to intensive care just hours after we were told by downing street that he was continuing to lead the government effort.

street that he was continuing to lead the government effortm street that he was continuing to lead the government effort. it was very quick. congratulations on your pregnancy. how pregnant are you? just over four months. best of luck with that. the front page of the sun, he stayed at work, he stated we re sun, he stayed at work, he stated were it is very emotive so now pray at home for him. it is very emotive and interesting to have that kind of religious urging there. but i think it is them proving the fact that borisjohnson to continue working. there has been some discussion that perhaps it might not have been the best thing for his condition. but that others would say that having him there at the helm of government is worth it in terms of the kind of feeling of stability among people at large. and i think also you can see that in their frightened reaction to his giving into the i see you. i think that is them calling for a very united response from the country in terms of wishing him

well. what kind of message does that send that he did say working and worked through the coronavirus and look for government papers and was ill at home? what message that's it people at home about what you do at home if you are sick? i think it is probably at odds with the advice that i think any one in the hs would get to somebody with the illness because obviously light any other illness it takes a big toll on your body and you won't be able to remove any other stress. so leaving the government over the time is not the healthiest thing. but i think that him and his advisers and those around him to the decision that it was worth and staying in the role and there is some conflicting ideas about how ill he knew he was and how ill those around and thought he was. but it is clear he at least thought even on friday that he was in a much healthier state that he perhaps was which he realised when he spoke to his doctor on sunday. there is a feeling that this illness as awful

as it has been for the prime minister has united the nation behind him because he will everyone is wishing him well and everyone wa nts is wishing him well and everyone wants him to get hit through and eve ryo ne wants him to get hit through and everyone is behind him on this.|j everyone is behind him on this.” think it isjust the fact everyone is behind him on this.” think it is just the fact that everyone is behind him on this.” think it isjust the fact that he is the prime minister and everybody has been watching him giving these daily updates and these daily briefings and he has got a child on the way. he isa and he has got a child on the way. he is a father. he is a human being like the rest of us and of course there were some people who unsurprisingly were not sharing wishes of goodwill on social media la st wishes of goodwill on social media last night but i think they are in a very tiny minority. the majority of all people i think watching this and then go through this and spending a lot of time at home and feeling quite uncertain willjust really had been shakenl quite uncertain willjust really had been shaken i think by the fact that the prime minister, who is in his 50s, he is not really old political

leader. he has been affected by this so leader. he has been affected by this so badly. but also i think we should remember that he has had a pretty exhausting few months and generally anyway. we had an election and then the brexit negotiations and that we have this and i think that is a lot for anybody to be dealing with and for anybody to be dealing with and for many when spoken to who has had coronavirus, the idea of working at all through that period was sort of unquestionable. but he kind of carried on for as long as i think he physically could before his doctor said enough now you need to stop and rest. this is a similar thing with we are with you, boris. a lot of talk about the nation uniting behind boris as he spends a second night in intensive care. i think a really interesting choice of image there as well. i don't think we know who the man as he was living flowers but the sense that he has well wishes across

the country and having the photo of him with carrie reminding us that he is going to be a father and partner as well as a politician. let's interrupt the papers. we'll come back to you in a wild jalisco live now to washington. this of course is president trump coming as a give his daily coronavirus briefing and it has been a very difficult day in the us. let's have a listen. today we continue to send our love to the great people of new york and newjersey. we support them fully. we grieve alongside every family who has lost a precious loved one. new yorkers are tough and strong and brave. newjersey yorkers are tough and strong and brave. new jersey —ites yorkers are tough and strong and brave. newjersey —ites are tough and strong and brave and they are being very —— hit very hard right now. and for the next week, hopefully not much longer than that, it will start to go in the other

direction. our country is being hit hard, but some areas have done so incredibly well and we are so proud of them. they will beat this virus. we are going to be it with and the heart for which they are known. and for which our country is known. and we appreciate everything that everybody is doing and we also pray for prime minister borisjohnson who is become a great friend of ours. he loves this country and he loves his country but he loves the usa. and he has always been very good to us whenever we have difficulty, he was with us. and we appreciate it so we pray for prime minister boris johnson. he is going through a lot. as we intensify our military campaign against the virus, i think it must be brought out that we have to thank the american people for continuing to follow our guidelines on slowing the spread. an expression that more more people are thinking about, nobody ever heard of it two

months ago and now everybody is talking about slowing the spread, stopping the spread. even during this painful week, we see glimmers of very strong hope and this will be a very painful week. and next week, at least part of next week probably all of it, look if one person dies, it isa all of it, look if one person dies, it is a painful week. and we know thatis it is a painful week. and we know that is going to happen. this is a monster we are fighting. but signs are that our strategy is totally working. every american has a role to play in winning this war. and we are going to be winning it and we are going to be winning it and we are going to be winning it powerfully and will be prepared for the next one should it happen but hopefully it won't. our massive airlift operation for critical supplies, it is called project air bridge can be continued today as five massive planes, flights landed in the united states packed with personal protective equipment. and

our nation
