this is bbc news. the headlines: in several states in the us protesters demand to go back to work, saying that stay—at—home measures are too harsh. 84 tonnes of personal protective equipment is due to arrive in the uk today from turkey, including hundreds of thousands of clinical gowns. fears in haiti, the poorest country in the americas, that an inadequate healthcare system could soon be overwhelmed. the number of deaths linked to coronavirus in uk care homes may be far higher than official figures currently show. and some of the world's biggest acts take part in an eight hour star—studded event broadcast around the globe to honour key workers.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are writer and broadcaster shyama perera and business journalist and commentator john crowley. good morning to you both and thank you so much forjoining us. let's start with the sunday times, and it reports that ministers have drawn up a plan which could see schools reopen as soon as 11th may. it comes as the mail on sunday says political and business figures are urging the uk government to map out a clear exit strategy from the lockdown. the observer leads on a warning from one of the world's top health experts, that there's no guarantee a vaccine for coronavirus can be successfully developed. according to the sunday telegraph, borisjohnson has started issuing orders to his government from chequers, as he continues to recover from coronavirus.

and the sunday mirror carries a warning from frontline medics, saying that they fear hospitals may run out of oxygen supplies for coronavirus patients. so let's begin. let's start, first of all, with the front page of the sunday times. it has got lots of interesting stuff on it today. john, let's take a look there's to its big headline, and esther‘s plan for schools to reopen in three weeks‘s time. —— ministers plan. but that is one part of a three—part strategy. plan. but that is one part of a three-part strategy. what is the rest of that? yes, this tape comes from number ten and genuinely if the government wants to explain something to you it does it in stages. this is the first light and in three weeks' time schools could open upa in three weeks' time schools could open up a navy by the 11th of may. this involves primary school children and also children in years

ten and 11 who are taking gcses. and a—levels. at the same time garden centres and other schools will be opened up as well because the thinking is there will be more distancing there. further on from thatis distancing there. further on from that is amber, where pubs, restau ra nts a nd that is amber, where pubs, restaurants and possibly more sporting venues will open up in the later summer, but actually the thing thatis later summer, but actually the thing that is buried in there and gives me and possibly readers a cause for concern is the red light, and that involves our most vulnerable members of society, millions of people over the age of 70, who may not be able to go out for months. it even raises the prospect in the sunday times piece that it could be up to autumn of next year, so take that on board for people who are at home watching this just now, that they may have to stay home for a very long time if a cure isn't found soon. that one, that does raise this question ministers are having to battle with

all the time, weighing up the costs to public health against what people can tolerate? absolutely, and i think in the us you have already seena think in the us you have already seen a backlash for quite different cultural reasons, but none the less, i think if you start telling are over 705, many of whom are vulnerable and infirm, but a huge numberof vulnerable and infirm, but a huge number of whom vulnerable and infirm, but a huge numberof whom are vulnerable and infirm, but a huge number of whom are still actually very fit and able and many are working, that they have to stay locked in for the next year, i think you're going to have a lot of rumbles andl you're going to have a lot of rumbles and i can see now why they have been sitting on his exit strategy and not wanting to share it. i think it is great that it has come out now because it gives us time to discuss it, certainly in my circle i can think of a lot of people who are in that age group and are a lot fitter and better off and in every way healthier than people substantially younger than them. i cannot see that they are going to ta ke cannot see that they are going to take this sitting down. in that, half the lords would be in that

group, if not all the lords. that is a very good point. john, just before we move onto the next story i am struck by a paragraph in the sunday times, a story about ministers being spooked by in quotation marks, an apocalyptic treasury report warning apocalyptic treasury report warning a possible report failure of six out of ten businesses in the next few weeks unless they ease restrictions. this is why we need to get going, frankly. lots of people will be thinking, i don't want to go out, i don't want to risk my health, but we have to get the country going again and this is part of the suppression strategy, where they are opening up and going to see, do this in stages just to see whether the virus will ta ke just to see whether the virus will take hold again. frankly, the country needs to open it in some form because they won't be any economy left. that is right, the sunday times is suggesting it could mean six out of ten businesses will be out of cash within 12 weeks, so

some very sobering figures there. let's go on to the front page of the mail on sunday, same issue but they have got different voices on their front page. get britain moving again, that one, who is urging the government to do this? yes, it is a grand coalition that is being put together of the country's most senior political and business figures and is led by iain duncan smith, david davies, keir starmer and city bosses. i don't think it has been convened, as far as i can see from this piece, but it is obviously going to come together and certainly we have been talking about the possibility of a national government. particularly at a time when we don't have a prime minister in vision and where you have a cabinet that seems scared of making any kind of decision without him there, and probably constitution they are not able to. this is actually the first public, i think,

site of some form of national government coalition starting to come together in terms of you know, thinking processes and leadership. so it is coming up, again as part of this traffic light system. that is the story that has obviously been leaked today. and so everybody is tagging different bits of information on that and the nail's ta ke information on that and the nail's take is this cross—party leadership group. —— the nail's case. take is this cross—party leadership group. -- the nail's case. it is interesting, because you look at some of the names here, david davies and such like. you are struck by the fa ct and such like. you are struck by the fact that the cabinet is relatively inexperienced and lacks some of those elder states women and statesmen who are more experienced and might feel they can take some of these decisions. let's remember that these decisions. let's remember that the cabinet that boris johnson appointed were pretty much brexiteer

is it didn't have a power base of their own. it was almost like a presidential prime minister that we have and because he is currently convalescing at the moment there is a vacuum right at the very top. but you can see there has been this growing clamour, through the media, but also across the political spectrum, keir starmer as he was saying, the opposition labour leader, was involved in this as well. he was saying we need to know a plan. david davies was saying yesterday, the virus is not a sentient being. it doesn't have an intelligence. you can reveal what you are going to do to try to fight it, it won't change. so i think there is a bit of the government being in stasis, without the prime minister there, but also because they are afraid to tell people this very bad news that some of us will have to stay locked indoors for a long time. but we are grown—ups, we need to be spoken to. the vast majority of us are following

government orders and recommendations and this is a welcome move today, so we can have this debate about it. what i did wonder, and i don't know ifjohn has a fort on this, is that david davies didn't really succeed terribly well when he was put in charge of part of the brexit process. in duncan smith universally planned for the way universal credit was brought in and done. keir starmer, universal credit was brought in and done. keirstarmer, an universal credit was brought in and done. keir starmer, an unknown quantity in this particular context. what does it say when they become the spearheading group in charge of the spearheading group in charge of the traffic light system ? the spearheading group in charge of the traffic light system? john? there have been calls for people who have served in the past, particularly gordon brown, who has been quite impressive when he has come and spoken about trying to get a global coalition of people together. we are going to talk in his second about how borisjohnson is taking the reins again. i really don't think he's going to welcome cross— party

don't think he's going to welcome cross—party support coming through. it may be needed, absolutely, but i think borisjohnson with the way that he does things it is going to say, look, iam that he does things it is going to say, look, i am convalescing, that he does things it is going to say, look, iam convalescing, but that he does things it is going to say, look, i am convalescing, but i am getting healthier by each day and as the sunday telegraph headline, which we will talk about in a second, will say, he is taking back control. yes, let's go to the sunday telegraph. thank you for giving it up telegraph. thank you for giving it upfor telegraph. thank you for giving it up for me. what shyama perera do wa nt to up for me. what shyama perera do want to go through it first? it says lupine minister is starting to make his presence felt again. yes, it says he has been giving directions from chequers. i am not sure what that direction is though. i think most people watching the daily briefings across the week are not entirely sure what the prime minister's direction is. we will shortly be looking at whether the direction the prime minister taken as insofar what they write one and

that whether he started the journey from the right station or if he jumped on halfway through, which is why things haven't panned out as we would possibly have expected them to any circumstances. but yes, it is mr johnson still wanting to be at the helm, as indeed he is, and that he is starting to intervene in cabinet discussions and that of course, there is an expectation that he will be back at the helm properly, visually, visibly, in the next week or so. visually, visibly, in the next week or so. personally i find that quite surprising because everybody i know who has had coronavirus has been knocked out for weeks on end, but perhaps he is a superman. who knows? john, one of the details of this piece is that the ppe, personal protective equipment, a zara of it has been appointed and we can perhaps detect borisjohnson's involvement in that? yes, this is

paul deighton, lord de deighton, who isa paul deighton, lord de deighton, who is a former investment banker with goldman sachs, who then led the 0lympic delivery committee in 2012. he applied for the job in the economist actually before it and got it. it clearly shows that there is an issue of ppe, all the headlines over the last few days have been talking about this crisis and also going back to johnson talking about this crisis and also going back tojohnson taking the reins. ten days ago he was in intensive care and we have been told that he was hovering between life and death, and now he is back. he is clearly ignoring doctor's orders and feels that he has to come back to work. presumably because the cabinet in place and able to move forward. but an extraordinary state of affairs. less than two weeks ago he was in intensive care and now he was ona was in intensive care and now he was on a three hour call on friday with

his deputy, dominic raab. i am still fit and healthy and doing all those zoom fit and healthy and doing all those zoom calls at the moment... a three hour call would leave me feeling tired, but obviously he feels the need as head of the government, that he needs to come back in and pick up the reins. ijust want he needs to come back in and pick up the reins. i just want to he needs to come back in and pick up the reins. ijust want to go back to the reins. ijust want to go back to the sunday times and shyama perera alluded to this. they have done a bigger story on the government's tactics and strategy in the run—up to this pandemic taking hold in the uk. it looks pretty damning. to this pandemic taking hold in the uk. it looks pretty damninglj to this pandemic taking hold in the uk. it looks pretty damning. i mean it is very damning and for those of us it is very damning and for those of us who were in lockdown long before boris told us to go into lockdown, it isjust basically a thread that look at the speed with which boris actually entered the activities, if you like, that there were four cobra meeting that he didn't attend. 0ne because he was posing with a dragon for chinese new year. the fact that

he came in late and didn't understand just how serious it was, even understand just how serious it was, even though everybody was saying so, andindeed even though everybody was saying so, and indeed we can all remember interviews where ministers were asked about this and they were all saying you know, it is not going to hit us in quite the same way. the times has really forensically gone through that timeline, pointing out decisions that were made and suggesting actually that this could really have been averted, you know, as we head towards 20,000 deaths, could it have been much lower? the times doesn't put any figure on it, but obviously there is that feeling that this has been escalated by a complete lack of awareness and understanding. i'm just complete lack of awareness and understanding. i'mjust going complete lack of awareness and understanding. i'm just going to stop you there, i want to bring john back in. will people look at this and think, this is all for an enquiry later on, what we need to do now is get through this? yes, there

is an argument in that, but i think there is a justifiable way of looking at it in the here and now. it isa looking at it in the here and now. it is a damning indictment on johnson, let's be clear about this. he will say people a knifing me in the back, the scientists can't agree and everyone seems to be knifing each other, but just and everyone seems to be knifing each other, butjust as you are saying it paints someone who is asleep at the wheel, who wasn't thinking of crisis planning, who for 12 days went to a grace and favour home in kent for a working holiday in february and just failed to take this seriously. he is recuperating at the moment. we wish him well, but that does not put the prime minister beyond scrutiny or reproach right now. they will be a public enquiry later on, but i think this is necessary right now to do as well. i'm going to have to stop you there,

john. i'm so sorry, we could talk about this for a very long time, but thank you both. shyama perera and john crowley, thank you very much. and now on bbc news, it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the very best new films currently available for viewing in your home. by far the most intriguing film to hit uk streaming services this week is selah and the spades,

the feature debut from writer—director tayarisha poe. set amid the warring factions of an elite pennsylvania boarding school, it's a film that, like rian johnson's debut brick, paints high school as a noirish landscape of crime and punishment — creating what poe calls clueless meets the godfather. at haldwell boarding school, there are five factions. they will push you past your limit. and therein lies their collective power. but this story isn't about the factions. if it's about her. selah summers. lovie simone is selah, leader of the titular pack who runs the school's thriving drug network. it's in the spring semester of her senior year, and selah, who will soon be leaving haldwell, is looking for someone to pass her power onto, someone she thinks she's found in upcoming shutterbug paloma.

but tensions are rising between selah and her right—hand man maxxie, threatening the stability of her empire. beginning life with an online overture in 2014, selah and the spades has been described by its creator as a tale of a girl who runs a gang and is totally 0k with doing whatever it takes to make that gang successful. because when you're 17, you've got to grab onto that control wherever you can and hold it tight for dear life. because they always try and take it from there, don't they? citing fran ross's197li novel 0reo and gary fletcher's 2011 film violet and daisy as influences, poe has created something that is simultaneously familiar and surprising, capturing both the hazy nature of teenage years and the more brutal power struggles of adult life — a larger—than—life artificial world that seems strangely grounded in down—to—earth reality. at times, i was reminded of the rebellious spirit of celine sciamma's girlhood, although this has an altogether more surreal air —

aided by some beautifulfloating cinematography and by an almost sci—fi—inflected score by talented japanese composer asuka matsumiya. debuting to rapturous applause at last year's sundance film festival, selah and the spades was acquired by amazon, who promptly started developing a spin—off tv series. you could find the feature now on amazon prime. equally unexpected is why don't you just die!,

the blood—splattered blackly comic debut from russian film—maker kirill sokolov. the chaptered action plays out in a cramped apartment where young matvey arrives brandishing a hammer, with which to kill his girlfriend's allegedly abusive father, andrey. andrey is a nasty piece of work, a corrupt cop with a brutish demeanour who has no intention of being taken down easily. but as the story flashes back and forth between past and present, the apartment becomes a wild west corral of double—crossing showdowns and bone—cracking, head—smacking, leg—drilling violence — all executed with a cartoonish slapstick playfulness of sam raimi's early features the evil dead or crime wave. there's a hint ofjeunet and ca ro's delicatessen in the look of sokolov‘s movie, while the narrative takes broad swipes at the endemic corruption of life in modern russia. satirical music cues, swinging from morricone—style western inflections to cheesy pop tunes, lend an air of merry madness to the carnage—filled chaos.

the result, which is available on digital download from monday, plays like meet the parents meets the texas chainsaw massacre — and it's every bit as enjoyable as that sounds. what is your connection with robert atkinson? he's my brother. altogether less engaging is the host, a horror—inflected thriller which is not to be confused with the terrific bong joon—ho creature feature the host from 2006, the andrew niccol/stephanie meyer sci—fi thriller the host from 2013, the miranda pennell documentary the host from 2015, or indeed any of the other movies called the host, few of which could be quite as unoriginal and uninspiring as this. what's that on your dress? 0h... i was grinding some meat.

rabbit. the plot follows a lovelorn london baker on a fool's errand in amsterdam, where he encounters chinese drug smugglers, european femme fatales and a host — get it? — of international movie cliches that will leave even the most casual filmgoer thinking "hang on! "i've seen all this done before — only better." i understand you're in trouble. we'd like to challenge fortune. but we also know that the house always wins. yeah, i guess. the story may be labyrinthine, but the only real mystery is why derekjacobi agreed to provide a camp wraparound cameo and why it's left to a floppy—haired member of mcfly to save the day. the host is available on all popular platforms now — although if you're in the market for an intriguing mess, i direct you instead to bruce mcdonald's dreamland, which became available for home viewing on monday and has been scrambling my brain ever since. all right, lock on here.

i gotta make things really obvious for you. i take guys out for hercules. but he doesn't want me to kill you. is this about the autograph? no, this is serious business. no, it's not. listen, he wants me to cut off your pinky finger. shot in belgium and luxembourg, dreamland is a dystopian pseudo—comic mishmash of crime movie thrills and horror movie gore, starring stephen mchattie in a dual role as a hit man — wearing a hat — and as a drug—addled jazz trumpet player — not wearing a hat — who becomes involved in a plot by a pimp to sell a child bride to a vampire living in a castle. and, no, i'm not making any of that up. a mix of artsy satire, woozyjazz, incoherence and straight to small screen sleaze, dreamland also chucks

in a scenery—chewing henry rollins, a crazy—go—nutsjuliette lewis and a bloody massacre played out to a smooth jazz cover version of everybody‘s happy now. really now? a few days after watching the movie, you'll be wondering if you didn'tjust dream it all. for those searching for something more mainstream, starwars: rise of skywalker is now available for digital download prior to its arrival on dvd and blu—ray on the 20th. playing things safe after the more adventurous twists of the lastjedi, episode ix brings things to a close in fairly formulaic fashion — entertaining, but empty. they must have no defects. and if they're not pretty much 36—3a—36, the curves won't be

in the right places. but we really believe beauty isjust skin deep. the girls also get marks on charm, grace... swimsuits. altogether more substantial is misbehaviour, which had a brief outing before the lockdown and is now available digitally from all major platforms. a feisty dramatization of the disruption of the 1917 miss world competition, philippa lowthorpe's very enjoyable movie follows in the footsteps of films like made in dagenham, retelling an important historical story with enough wit and invention to engage in a thoroughly modern audience. tell them to pull the plug! we can't broadcast this bloody shambles... ! are we in florida? there's also jumanji: the next level, now available on both download and disk and offering far more fun than we had any right to expect. a sequel to the 2017 reboot, this re—teams the rock with jack black, kevin hart and karen gillan and throws in new arrivals awkwafina, danny devito

and danny glover, all of whom seem to be having a whale of a time. this can't be happening! i came back and things actually got worse. but for my own pick of the very best film currently available on streaming services, i'll direct you to portrait of a lady on fire, recently arrived on mubi and still wowing audiences after winning the best screenplay award at the cannes film festival last year. both a thoughtful manifesto on the female gaze and a passionate love story, this is mesmerizing fare from celine sciamma — who is, for my money, one of the most exciting voices in modern cinema. that's it. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe and i'll be back next week with more home viewing treats. i haven't looked like this since... never. you looked like this never. what are you talking about?

when i was younger, i was in great shape! i remember you when you were younger and. . .this is not what you looked like. i think my eyes are a different color. all of you is a different color. it's a dry settled story for many and there is an exception. you can see exactly where i'm talking about, northern ireland, wales and south—west england at the moment, but lots of sunshine coming through elsewhere. a special easterly breeze along the eastern coast, but that should hopefully push that cloud further west. but northern ireland may stay overcast throughout the day. elsewhere sunshine and we should see highs of 18 degrees. there is an area of high pressure scented to the north—east of the uk and it will stay with us for a couple of days, but 80 more isobars

to the south of that high, so they wince. continue to strengthen. 0n monday a largely fine and dry story, may be a due isolated showers threatening to the extreme south—west, channel isles and isles of scilly. winds gusting 30—35 mph and a strengthening wind through the day. top temperatures of 12—19d.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. 84 tonnes of personal protective equipment are due to arrive in the uk today from turkey, including hundreds of thousands of clinical gowns. protesters in several states in the us demand to go back to work, saying stay—at—home measures are too tough. fears in haiti, the poorest country in the americas, that an inadequate health care system could soon be overwhelmed. the number of deaths linked to coronavirus in uk care homes may be far higher than official figures currently show. and some of the world's biggest acts take part in an eight hour star—studded event broadcast around the globe to honour key workers.
