hello and welcome to our look at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sam lister, the deputy political editor of the daily express on the left, and political right and academic who has already posted online of our earlier conversation. first of all, a quick look at some of tomorrow's front pages. the guardian looks at the lives cut short with images of some of the people who have died from the coronavirus. the telegraph reports that social distancing measures may need to remain in place indefinitely. but that britain could begin to emerge from a full lockdown next month. the times reports that the coronavirus vaccine could be ready as early as september, that's according to a leading british scientist. the express as a plea for

nurses to the public to stay at home this weekend, with a picture of a nurse and her bruised face from wearing a protective mass at work. the ice as the sun easter bank holiday weekend will be a test of the uk's resolved to stay indoors in the uk's resolved to stay indoors in the fight against coronavirus. the sun reports the prime minister boris johnson while he was in intensive care. johnson while he was in intensive ca re. let's johnson while he was in intensive care. let's begin. we have sam on the left on my on the right. not come away hello, just show that the lines are working. they are working, thatis lines are working. they are working, that is a really make absolutely fantastic. let's start with the guardian, which has found a way to cover a number most of us can't even begin to comprehend, 980 people were reported dead in the most recent 48 hour period, the guardian has decided that bold statements of data belie the drama and pain playing out in hospitals and care homes and households across the country. there isa households across the country. there is a collection of pictures of 40 people who died. sam from the daily

express, when you see that picture, that brings home, notjust 980 debts, each one of these has an individual story. yes, it's a very powerful front individual story. yes, it's a very powerfulfront page. individual story. yes, it's a very powerful front page. the guardian makes the point that these are not just one type of person who is infected by this, it's the young, it's the elderly commits the portable, it's people who are very seemingly fit and healthy. this is a really powerful way to illustrate it. i suppose, really powerful way to illustrate it. isuppose, as really powerful way to illustrate it. i suppose, as he referred to, when the numbers become so big, it's almost easier to forget the human stories behind them. this is one way of making sure that people don't really forget that. maia, as i look at this. he started to gaze at all the different pictures and wonder what the stories are behind some of these, and realise that that's just a fraction reported dead and just recent days. yeah, this front page is really harrowing. i credit the

guardian for really covering this story in this way, and i think humanising this and not forgetting that behind these numbers we keep getting these updates to daily numbers, that it is human beings, people with family, loved ones, who will be grieving for them right now, andl will be grieving for them right now, and i think that it's incredibly devastating that so many people across the country, but it is really important to keep that humanity there. i think one of the things thatis there. i think one of the things that is also covered in the guardian is that actually looking at how people are impacted by this in different ways, so one of the people that i recognise, one of the images... and what's in conjunction with the outcome i was thinking about the guardian story that talks about the guardian story that talks about how it's a any mac doctors that seem to be dying, and this could be up for all kinds of reasons, but one thing that the british medical association said, is that we need to take a look at what's happening. —— a any mac. it could be that the fact of discrimination in the workplace, people who are of a nine—month dash

ofa people who are of a nine—month dash of a minority backer may feel less comfortable about coming forward to complain cvoid—19 about not having ppe. so we think about the things that led up in the days before people were falling ill and then died, what that means for our society in terms of the inequality we currently have. —— a mac. society in terms of the inequality we currently have. -- a mac. sam, just picking up on that point, the death of doctors, at the government press c0 nfe re nce , death of doctors, at the government press conference, one of the chief nursing officials asked how many nurses made of died from and there was a certificate forthcoming that people could see, but it is an important point to try to work out how many of these front—line doctors and nurses have been killed, who where they, and the numbers, if not the names. yes. i think it would be helpful if at the next press conference, perhaps the medics and the government were able to give that number. i think it would help in the reporting of this story. you know, every death is a tragedy, and particularly it's just heartbreaking when people are there trying to help

families and leaving their own lives in the course of that, it's just tragic. we are going to look to the daily telegraph now. its headline, social distancing could be indefinite. that's going to be a tricky headline for anyone who dares to read it. it seems to have come from briefings from unnamed officials. suggesting that there might even be part of a plan to live with the virus for months even years suggesting that there might be a reversing of a lockdown in reverse order, the young get let out first. maia, can you see the logic in that? imean... to maia, can you see the logic in that? i mean... to be honest, ithink we need to wait and see what happens in terms of the death rate and in terms of what best in terms of the scientific advice what the scientists are saying should happen in society. things like testing and contact racing are incredibly important, and thinking about a long—term strategy, but in that time, they also mentioned, not only

the lockdown continuing for quite some time, which i know is probably not the thing that a lot of people watching at home want to hear, but they also talk about their impact on they also talk about their impact on the economy, and one of the things that i would note is that they say that i would note is that they say that there may be a real hit to gdp over the next three months, and that is really going to impact people who are already in poverty, or worse in poverty in the uk, and so i think it's really important to ensure that some of those measures that the government had put into place, that they are extended or expanded, because i know speaking to people who have no recourse to public funds attached to their visas, people who are migrants, they are really worried, because they haven't heard much from government about how they are going to survive. sol much from government about how they are going to survive. so i think really thinking about some of those vulnerable populations is going to be incredible important over the next few months. just going back to the telegraph front page, mary doug mcmurray condo how to de—clutter. there is some is nothing left in my home, so don't need to read that article. sam, picking up on what maia was just saying, it's not wrong to think about the economy, is it?

of course it's not. we all need a life once we get out of this. it's absolutely crucial, and i think the chancellor rishi sunak has been really obviously desperate to try and put in measures to help protect peoples jobs with the furlough scheme and grants and loans for businesses to help with cash flow issues while lockdown remains in place. i think in terms of the telegraph article, we have had scientists around todayjust discussing ways that we may come out of the lockdown eventually. one possibility is for schools to stage a return to normal life with schools being perhaps one of the first areas to enjoy a return to normal life, such as it will be at that point. because, obviously, a lot of the data shows really young people, children they don't they aren't

badly affected by this virus and schools are not crucial areas in the fight against the spread of this disease. so i think that might be something that is looked at by the government in the next few months. sam, thank you for that. to the daily mail now, because it looks like there's been similarity with the telegraph, uk not back to normal and abnormal for a year says the daily mail. maia, can we live like this for a year? that's a good question. i think that all the coverage seems to have said prior to this as well while certain measures may be in place for some time it won't necessarily impact different groups of people in the same ways, and so we are all, most of us, i think, are slow going with this adjustment and not seeing friends and not going out really much at all, but i think it's worth knowing

that this is worse for some people thanit that this is worse for some people than it is for others. particularly people who may be living in substandard accommodation, people have underlying health conditions, people who are older, but these are groups of people, those last two groups of people, those last two groups i mentioned, are the groups that may be will have to isolate for longer depending on what happens with the virus, so i think it's really worth thinking about that, and the impact of not going out, and their mental health, and also making sure that they have all the support that they need, as long as this goes oi'i. that they need, as long as this goes on. to the next newspaper now. the daily express, heartbreaking message for britons to stay home this weekend, desperate nurses easter plea to britain. sam, this is your newspaper, you didn't write this article, but just talk newspaper, you didn't write this article, butjust talk me through the thinking of why this might be on the thinking of why this might be on the front page. , again, it's yet another really personal story about the impact this virus is having, and this is about a nurse from

nottingham shire, who, herface is covered in welts from the ppe she's been wearing. she hasn't seen her family for a month. she isjust working, i think is like a 65 hour week. just battling to cope with the demand on the local services caused by this virus. just devastating, basically, she's trying to hit home to people you must stay at home. it's the only way you will help protect the nhs and save lives. but, obviously, just a really terrible story, and she just points out that she is there holding the hand of people as they died because nobody is allowed to go and visit. so she is allowed to go and visit. so she is there as that last form of comfort for people in their dying days, and, you know, i'm sure people will really want to take note of her story. it's usually a powerful

picture to see how red her face is. we will move now to the recovery of the prime minister, which has been dealt with by two newspapers, the first the daily telegraph, which has a very close relationship with boris johnson. on the front page, johnson ta kes first johnson. on the front page, johnson takes first steps on month—long road to recovery, my good —— maia, there isa to recovery, my good —— maia, there is a suggestion that the payments or may be out of action for a month, that he might need to go to checkers and recover. it's obviously interesting, we are now able to be able to talk about recovery, whereas able to talk about recovery, whereas a few days ago, we weren't even sure if we could use that word. a few days ago, we weren't even sure if we could use that wordlj a few days ago, we weren't even sure if we could use that word. i think there was a lot of concern. understandably, when anybody is admitted to ice you, particularly with coronavirus, all of the uncertainty that there is around that, and what was going to help women with boris johnson, that, and what was going to help women with borisjohnson, but it seems like he is improving, and it looks as if he is, as he's being on this to recovery. i guess the question will become in terms of what happens with government, and who, whether that decision—making has come with the things like lockdown and moving forward, how it's going to look. we will also

include in this conversation the sun newspaper. it has an exclusive, it says get well soon, babe. which is from carrie simons to boris with an archived picture of them. it's as carrie has sent scans of their unborn baby to him to lift his morale in intensive care. she sent daily letters, they have been apart for a month as the prime minister fights the coronavirus. this, in a way, goes back to what we saw in the guardian. this is a story of recovery, whereas in the guardian we saw stories of death, and in this case, the recovery happens to be of... i of... , the son has got the story about how carrie has been writing to the prime minister on a daily basis, and sending scans of their unborn baby. she is due to give birth injust a matter of weeks, so it must‘ve been an absolutely distressing time for her. she must be absolutely relieved. we saw stanleyjohnson there, the prime minister's father of the airwaves today, saying how grateful the family are for not only

the astounding care that he's received at st thomas as hospital, but also for the support they've received from british people that they have had a lot of support from they have had a lot of support from the community and they are very pleased with that. maia, just trying to supplement one of the points at the guardian had made earlier is that their relatives were not able to be with them as they died, and the point of this is that carrie simons was not able to be with boris johnson when he was in intensive care. so whether people die, whether they live, one of the key parts of this story is that their relatives cannot be by their bedside. yeah, i think it mustjust be so incredibly distressing to anyone who has a relative who is seriously ill with coronavirus or who died from coronavirus or who died from coronavirus not being able to be there. ijust coronavirus not being able to be there. i just can't coronavirus not being able to be there. ijust can't even imagine how awful that is, and i think also, as we talked about recognising the really, really crucial work, that not only nhs staff, but also people i care workers, people who in normal

times are really terribly paid, and are are you going through very bad conditions and are treated as low skilled in government policy, people who are doing this crucial work and being there in the final moments when someone is suffering from and dies from coronavirus. i think we really need to recognise the toll that that takes on them, but also the kind of very important work that they are doing, and how hard that must be. and that is the last word. a writer and academic, and sam from the daily express, thank you to you both. that's it for the papers tonight. thanks to my reviewers, sam list and maia goodfellow. next year and bbc news, the film review. good night. —— next here on it bbc news,
