hello, this is bbc news with james reynolds. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning parchment paper is in at tomorrow morning parchment paper isina at tomorrow morning parchment paper is in a moment, but first the headlines. i'm very sorry if people feel there have been failings. at the same time, we are in an unprecedented global health pandemic right now. the number of people who have died with coronavirus in the uk has gone up with coronavirus in the uk has gone up by with coronavirus in the uk has gone up by 917 since yesterday. according to number ten the premise trust told friends he owes his life to the doctors and nurses looked after him. the first time the queen has recorded an easter message in which she offers hope and says that coronavirus will not overcome us. the police and uk say there's been a

2196 the police and uk say there's been a 21% drop in overall crime in the past four weeks but for the 1000 fines has been issued to people reaching social distancing rules. hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me our political commentator gerald phillips and nigel nelson. that's tomorrow's front pages and we start with the sunday telegraph that once the hospitals face running out of gowns to protect doctors against coronavirus. the sunday times reports on plans for a mobile phone app that will trace every contact of infected people. the mail on sunday leads with borisjohnson‘s tribute to nhs staff that say save his life.

it is the pm is stapled to the medical staff who looked after him in intensive care. according to the observer does cross pretty calls for the urgent recall of parliament as the urgent recall of parliament as the uk's death toll from coronavirus continues to climb. a grim morning in the mirror that hospitals face a shortage of vital drugs to help coronavirus patients. shall we begin? we have gotjoe on the left and nigel on the right. hope he could by the way were not to show you are hearing me now. that is fantastic. nigel use it on twitter just now we will be on our best behaviour. i will hold you both to that. we're going to start with that. we're going to start with that. i cannot answer for her on that. i cannot answer for her on that one. i promise! we are going to look at the first newspaper, the site to express because they both feet on the recovery of the prime minister, expresses the i cannot

make them enough, —— thank them enough, i was a my life. make them enough, —— thank them enough, iwas a my life. your reaction to the current recovery in its prominent place in the papers? not a lot of people would feel exactly the same way they have been treated and look after so well by the nhs. it's very reassuring that the nhs. it's very reassuring that the prime minister is on the mend, he's not out of hospital obviously but it's a tribute, it continues in the vein of tributes to the nhs, but sadly tributes and warm words are not really enough when they are running out of vital equipment, not least because of the personal protection equipment. it's a good thing from boris and it's a good thing from boris and it's a good thing to say, as you say i suspect this will have been a very interesting experience for the prime minister, and they have quite an

impact on what happens next and where he goes and as he recovers. whether he could be forced into some recuperative relaxation for the time remains to be seen. lets to quickly look at the mail, how the males covering this, boris, the nhs save my life and so nigel nelson that is pretty much the same story. any suggestions you might take several weeks to recuperate. that's the impression that one gets from number ten and that's also a suggestion from the home secretary patel at the numberten from the home secretary patel at the number ten press conference today. quite clearly he's been extremely ill and confessed for the first time that he was obviously close to death. and so you will need a lot of time to recover. it's quite heartening that he says, look, i owe the nhs my life and he says i can't

thank them enough but he could think them enough because if at the end of all this given that they go way beyond the call of duty over and above any expectations we ever had of them would be really great is if he put his money where his mouth is and gave them a pay rise.|j he put his money where his mouth is and gave them a pay rise. i can see you nodding along to his point there briefly. absolutely, i have a son that's a paramedic with the advent of service and i know that i don't think people realise that an awful lot of people are making an incredible sacrifice, they are not seeing theirfamilies incredible sacrifice, they are not seeing their families and many people in the front lines are staying in hotels. not seeing their families at all, and they are doing this extraordinary service for the country and it's notjust about money it's about respect them it's about all the people who are doing this whether they are working and ca re this whether they are working and care homes or hospitals, it's time we stopped equating low pay with low

skill, and low self—respect. because boy to be of these people a lot. we are going to be of much of the headline reads nhs phone app hold skid to lifting lockdown. i so you ask a question at the daily press conference and us the chief medical 0fficer conference and us the chief medical officer is the reason you don't discuss the exit strategy because you can't happen until there's the vaccine? not quite sure if you got an answer to that but the sunday times is appearing to suggest that forget about the vaccine, it's an nhs phone app and what you make of that? i got half an answer from the head of nhs england. the fun it was an interesting idea. it's interesting rather than a breakthrough seems to me that the idea of this phone app is that what he would be able to do is it plots where you are and were somebody else

is new to you who is infected with coronavirus. to make this work at minute 60% of the population would have to carry it, it would also mean massive testing in the sense that we would then know much better than we do know the number and proportion of the population which has either gotten coronavirus or had it previously, so at the moment to make this thing work would require an awful lot to happen which is not happening at the moment. it's great, and a new invention is fine, there's and a new invention is fine, there's a huge kind of privacy problem with this and the question is do you really wa nt this and the question is do you really want the states to know exactly where you are? i'd be very interested looking at these papers that there's usually one paper which was broadcast on its front page some kind of breakthrough, some kind of dramatic step forward that if you

are on the newsstand having a depressing day you would think let me go to that one first, because it looks like the one that will get my life to normal. is this and overpromise with this story?|j life to normal. is this and overpromise with this story? i think is trying to find a new angle. every day we get the figures, the figures tells about the terrible numbers of deaths, don't tell us how many people are infected because we have not been testing, so we don't really know how many people have had the virus, so i think everybody is looking for a new angle. people do wa nt to looking for a new angle. people do want to find some sort of hope and breakthrough, but as nigel hasjust said this app which is very similar to what's been used by the security services in checking terrorists is huge questions about civil liberties and intrusion into privacy. without the testing it would not work anyway and there's this great danger that

everybody is trying to do amazing things and that's great, but we need to focus on getting something actually working rather than lots of scatter stuff. it's the nhs technology section working with big companies like google and apple. but you know there's an awful lot of questions remaining to be answered. given that my phone goes read then it's not beyond the wit of it, but it's not beyond the wit of it, but it only works if you are testing people. we are going to the observer, as diverse dental news 10,000 parties unite to demand recall of parliament. nigel nelson can we have seen journalists the only ones able to hold the government to account of the day press c0 nfe re nces , government to account of the day press conferences, should it be mps doing that and notjournalists? absolutely. we are doing our best for these things, we only get a couple of questions each as hardly

what you would call real scrutiny. ...doyou what you would call real scrutiny. do you know what, we're going to do is note interruptions on skype lines. i'm so sorry we have to hold you to that, carry—on. lines. i'm so sorry we have to hold you to that, carry-on. the idea that the opposition parties are coming out with it that parliament should return in his office he a way that mps will have this together with social distancing, i find this quite interesting idea and you will notice that starmer, at no point call for a national government. which you might well have done. understand the reason for that is that he wants to be able to be if you like a critical friend of government. it was to be a responsible opposition leader and wants to be able to call out the government when he thinks it's necessary. clearly a national government could not work in that sense, he would not be able to do

that so the idea of coming back and being a responsible opposition albeit doing a virtually seems to be albeit doing a virtually seems to be a good idea. mps did start scrutinising the government once again. i'm going to go to joe for small for this. running out of drugs for the sickest patients, ventilator sedative shortage. given that you have a family member working on the front lines with your reaction to this story? running out of protective equipment coming out we are running out of drugs according to this report in the mirror. and this is a particular sedative used for people on ventilators and so given the number of people we know on ventilators these drugs are really, really important. this whole pandemic is not just really, really important. this whole pandemic is notjust us in the uk that's affected, it's around the world. the shortages are going on

all over the place, but of course as you said just now you see one breakthrough on the mobile phone story and you see this that puts you back and utter despair. going to our final newspaper the sunday times, the front page at the bottom of the big snore. karina iris has a sleeping again for the article by john griffiths says that what people are sleeping better and teenagers are sleeping better and teenagers are getting up later. are you sleeping better? i am sleeping better. i don't have very far to walk to my office nowadays in the morning. so i don't have to get up quite as early as i normally do. and i'io quite as early as i normally do. and no surprise i think this article that teenagers are using the time to spend a lot more of you in bed, what i think is interesting about this is that this is a positive story,

there's obviously one kind of benefit of lockdown and is go to be a struggle for all of us to get back to work. they says people are having unusually vivid dreams. that is curious, the unusually vivid dreams. iimaginea curious, the unusually vivid dreams. i imagine a lot of that has to do with the new quietness. it's really noticeable. i'm not in a city but people are talking about hearing birdsong for the first time. so even in this crisis of anxiety and worry and concern about so many things we are apparently able to sleep. which of course is a natural human reflex. it's part of the sort of flight or fight thing. i suspect there are lots and lots of things that we are doing better healthier and our normal commute. although nigel may run into that if he has to not go around the clock. that's the last

word. thank you very much. that is it for the papers for this hour. nigel and joe will be half past 11 for another look at what's in tomorrow's papers. goodbye for now. hello. we're still here. and so are you. so, welcome. i hope you're well. we are and we've been working hard on a new—look click that will work when we can't get out and about as much.
