this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump says he's going to meet the new york governor, andrew cuomo, at the white house on tuesday. mr cuomo and the president have clashed over how best to handle the coronavirus pandemic. new york has been the hardest hit state in the us. the price of american oil has dropped below zero for the first time in history. that means producers are paying buyers to take supplies off their hands. demand has dried up worldwide due to the pandemic. the uk government says it's working around the clock to get protective equipment to front line health workers. it's facing sharp criticism over its dwindling supplies. and germany has begun relaxing its strict lockdown measures. small shops and car dealerships stores are among those that can reopen.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me is the economics commentator grace bla kely, and the broadcasterjohn stapleton. thank you both for being with us. tomorrow's front pages...starting with... the guardian says scientific advisers have warned the government that any relaxation of lockdown measures could trigger an exponential rise in coronavirus cases, amid a cabinet split about how quickly to ease restrictions. the daily mirror reports although the government promised 100,000 tests a day by the end of this month, less than a fifth of that target is actually being hit and testing sites still lie empty. according to the metro, at least 100 health and social care workers have now died of coronavirus — including a nurse whose family say she would have lived if she had been given the correct protective clothing.

the ‘i' claims the royal air force are being "forced" to pick up delayed protective kit from turkey as a shortage threatens treatment. the daily telegraph also leads on tests in the uk, but features a picture of the entrpeneur, sir richard branson, who has offered to mortgage necker island, his caribbean home, in return for a taxpayer—funded £500 million bailout for his virgin atlantic airline. the financial times focuses on us oil prices crashing into negative territory for the first time in history — as the evaporation of demand triggered by the coronavirus pandemic leaves the world awash with oil and not enough storage capacity. the sun has two royals on its front page — favouring the 98—year—old prince philip's tribute to front line workers over harry's announcement that he's refusing to co—operate with some british tabloid newspapers. and the times features harry and meghan on its front page —

covering their mouths — and reports uk ministers have been warned by nhs bosses that advising people to wear facemasks to slow the spread of coronavirus risks jeopardising critical supplies to the health service. so let's begin... let's start with the daily mirror. have a round they up about testing ina have a round they up about testing in a test failure and a lot of test sites in cardiff, brighton and manchester and pictures are pretty much empty test sites and asking why the government promised 100,000 test by the end of this month but less a fit of that target is being hit in these testing sites still lie empty. it's been said again and again by economist but what we really needed really several months ago when we know how severe this virus was going to be left something on the lines of a wartime mobile is a nation from the government. the government needed to be getting involved in the economy and directing businesses to

produce ppe and white attested needed and set up these testing facilities. and put the measures we 110w facilities. and put the measures we now know. that's why they're was needed. why this didn't happen quickly enough and why we still have shortages of protective equipment and these tests are not being rolled out it is difficult to say but one thing we do know is that this government is not filled with people that are particularly comfortable with economic intervention and we also note that the capacity of the state for doing these kind of interventions after several years state for doing these kind of interventions after several yea rs of austerity and the constant turmoil of brexit over the last four years has been eroded. there are questions about whether or not the government is either willing or able to do the kind of intervention and actual planning and the economy and the kind you would see during wartime that really during this period. john, this question of testing which

the mirror is highlighting really, it is so important because we sing countries like germany that i have huge amounts of testing every day and the death rate is significantly lower in the uk and other countries like italy and spain. we missed the vote. 0na like italy and spain. we missed the vote. on a number of fronts. why weren't we getting relaxed ready to do this kind of testing. weeks and weeks ago. —— we missed the vote. why is it are we so depend on countries like china and in turkey? where are we so dependent on them for ppe for our front staff? why did we ignore because apparently from firms within this country willing to make this gear for our front line staff? why would they ignore it for so staff? why would they ignore it for so long and only now they are being brought in to the picture? why on earth where we sending ppe to china, not getting it from china? sending it to china only a few weeks ago. so

many questions that need to be asked of the government and when they are asked these questions in the daily press conference , asked these questions in the daily press conference, time and time again people say this is not the time to be addressing that we have a bigger issue on her hands and they have a big issue but these questions need to be addressed. we have a hundred people a day dying, they need to answer. that's when we have a hundred people a day dying, they need answers. let's focus on the issue of ppe personal protective. —— 800 people. face mask in particular. there was a picture of harry and megan come harry had a scarf around and megan has a mask on. talking about mass, the issue of whether the public should be advised to wear a mask and the times headline says that could risk a shortage for the national health service. in the health care workers who really need those mask. yes. i think from my view of the evidence it that suggest that people who do not have the

virus doesn't necessarily help them. at least partly because when you wear the mask you may touch it to ta ke wear the mask you may touch it to take it off and touch your face afterwards. all of these issues to think about. 0ften afterwards. all of these issues to think about. often what we have seen when we get these questions as to what the public should be doing, the government trying to almost push the blame for the responsibility i supposed for making these decisions are eight individuals when actually it should be giving people the correct advice and have been giving people the correct device for a long enough so they feel safe and secure in either not wearing the mask and also obviously they should have been many months ago producing this kind of protective equipment that our front line and hsf so need. it is a really tragic to see that the level of support and solidarity behind our front line and nhs staff with people clapping for them and that itjust not being met by a government which is just not providing these people who are literally putting their

lives on the line by the protective gear they need to do theirjobs. the issue a mask and whether everybody should be advised to wear them or not, it sorta underlines how little really we still know about this virus. how much of it is still a to us. virus. how much of it is still a to us. the science to still cannot really tell us definitively whether 01’ really tell us definitively whether or not it is a good idea to wear a mask. absolutely right. advice seems to change or shift a little bit every single day. we have the mayor of london suggesting we should all wear a mask a few days ago. i gather the government will take another look at it tomorrow. and the world health organisation may be suggesting for example that people should wear them on public transfer and etc are when they going to shops. once lockdowns are being relaxed and but again, as grey said, the debate about wearing a mask underan the debate about wearing a mask under an efficiency is 2—sided. people say it is ok come in. you

give me the virus to somebody else, but if you haven't got it, it doesn't really make any difference at all. you're absolutely right. we have a right to be confused because in fairness to the experts, i'm critical of what the government has done or not done in the past, but let's be honest and fair, this is a nightmare for everybody concerned. we have to believe that everybody is giving it their best shot. nevertheless, questions need to be asked about some of the things that have gone on in the past few weeks and some of the things that are simply not been done and while we have been so far behind countries like germany and new zealand and south korea and singapore. she all those questions of course but in the meantime the government has to decide. when and how to ease eventually the lockdown. grace, the front page of the guardian is ministers warned of exponential rise in fatalities. if the lockdown is ease. that of course is their fear

in this difficult balancing act that ministers now face. yes. again, one of those questions where we simply did not know what will happen. we see some countries now that have been able to get a bit more of a handle on the pandemic, using their lockdown. it seems as though the uk is still very much in the thick of one of the most severe parts of the pandemic. so there is a live debate about how whether or not the government needs to be thinking about an exit strategy. it seems as though a lot of countries are trying to wa ke though a lot of countries are trying to wake up at this point the economic cost of the ongoing lockdown versus the potential cost of lives lost if it was ended fairly quickly. and i think on that front, it makes so much more sense to have a little bit more caution because all very well saying it will hurt the economy if we continue lockdown too long, but ultimately we are the economy. people going out, going to

work him working in the nhs and going out eventually spending money again, running businesses, that is what is going to get the economy going and if people are dying and sick and uncertain, those things are not going to take place. john, i wonder, i've heard it said that some people have speculated that perhaps borisjohnson people have speculated that perhaps boris johnson might be people have speculated that perhaps borisjohnson might be more cautious about easing the lockdown too quickly because of what he personally has been through with covid—19. do you think that is possibly affect their quiz but it may well be. i have no more idea than you to be honest. it may well be. ithink than you to be honest. it may well be. i think what is emerge here and argument within cabinet and apparently the chancellor michael gove and people and his stress asking the question at least are the consequences of asking the question at least are the consequences of the lockdown greater than the consequence of the virus itself, which is huge and terribly difficult argument to get over and get across. and i think it will be a

debate from here on in. it is a terribly difficult decision for any prime minister and any politician to make. and to make these trade—offs between peoples health and possibly their lives. in the economy and peoples livelihoods. absolutely. but i think peoples livelihoods. absolutely. but ithink i'm peoples livelihoods. absolutely. but i think i'm right in saying also that borisjohnson, he is airing caution and as i got a piece suggest that it would actually potentially be cataclysmic, lockdown too early and we can face a second way. —— assess piece suggest was that we still don't know where there are a lot of people who had the virus can catch it again or not. —— whether. let's turn to slightly different. the financial times in the us oil price crash. it goes below zero to a negative territory because coronavirus has shattered the global demand. there was a massive glut of

oil now, not enough storage capacity. what do you make of that in with you think are the economic implications of that?|j in with you think are the economic implications of that? i just want to say quickly that there is it require a specific region that we have seen oil going to negative territory which is being oppressed at the divorce up the specific issue with the futures market. you buy oil and futures to bet on the future price. there are certain contracts with this month for may that are coming up this month for may that are coming up whereby if you are in possession of that contract you have to take possession of a physical stock of oil. at that price in the us a lot of people, most of the people who would holding oil have already soaring is much as they physically can because there is not this the man in the economy because we are all the lockdown. so those who are in possession of these contracts are trying to off—load the very quickly literally before this date comes up.

and this is why we have seen such turmoil in and the oil markets over the last couple of days. to do with this specific issue in the futures market and if you look over the longer term, or is still hovering around $20 a barrel, which does seem to be where it will stay and perhaps it would drop lower if lockdown continues for longer and more severe, but this dropping into negative territory is very specific issue to do with the way oil is traded and financial markets. the washington post also features it. 0il drops below $0. what you still have to pay for gas is what the washington post says. —— but you will still forth that which is it i'm surea will still forth that which is it i'm sure a disappointment to some consumers. i'm so grace explained the futures market. i was dreading you asking me that. laughter. —— i am so you asking me that. laughter. —— i am so happy that grace. paying people to take oil away. not that

long after opec in russia and other allies in this particular industry agree to a 10% cut in the price of oil. this is a course in american oil. this is a course in american oil we are talking about. it doesn't get impacted directly on crude oil, the european benchmark. but having said that, that oil it has dropped in price too. 20 odd dollars about right now. on the face to become good news for moderates if anybody is muttering at the moment but of course very few of us are. good news for motorists but potentially this isa for motorists but potentially this is a serious situation. —— for motorists. this is the first time ever that this is happened. that is going to negative and paying people to take it away. news really. let's end up with the signed newspaper. it features prince philip, who sent a stirring message is says of thanks to the uk coronavirus heroes, and it contrast that with what the sign

saysis contrast that with what the sign says is philip 0zment grandson harriet mooning a los angeles about the press. —— philip 0sma grandson harry. 0f the press. —— philip 0sma grandson harry. of course they sent that letter to tabloid newspapers in britain saying they will not co—operate with them any more and the son says the grand duke philip sending that message and some bloke called harry from hollywood has sent a different kind of message. we can tell already with the scent of the other tablet think of harry meghan markle. they never really miss an opportunity. —— other tabloids. to runa opportunity. —— other tabloids. to run a negative story about them. personally i don't blame them for the attitude they've taken touristy ta blets the attitude they've taken touristy tablets given the way they have been treated. but obviously the tablets themselves will not be so happy with being spurned in this way. -- the tabloids. is it a question of timing? is this a good time to send this letter to the tabloids? that was what i was going to say. two

things. i would like to see the evidence of the story to which they claim are being have been distorted or completely made of. i'm not saying they did not exist at all. but i would like to see some examples. i think you are right. the time like this to make a statement like this, when the world is so concerned about some other things, it seems to me to put it mildly very odd and what is the point? if you do not want to co—operate with the daily mail, the express, just don't co—operate. you don't have to release a statement. i had to do is invite them to have another stab at you. it is a completely pointless exercise and somebody on twitter today said i don't know what they are paying for the pr but it is not money well spent. i suppose some people will see it as a bit unedifying to end up with the situation where we have a word now really between the tablet press in britain and across the atlantic, harry and meghan markle who clearly hate what they have been saying and what they believe those papers have

been saying. —— tabloid press. what they believe those papers have been saying. —— tabloid presslj been saying. —— tabloid press.” think the tabloid press of the country that's been scanned after scandal after scandal, is seems as though very few of these papers have to do face up to the consequences of actions. obviously, given the coverage there has been of megan and harry for a very long time now, which is been a lot of evidence to suggest is been unusually negative, it is not surprising that they are now saying they don't want to kind of go ahead and engage with these ta blets. of go ahead and engage with these tablets. what is surprising is that at this particular with something that deserves to be on the front page of a main tabloid newspaper. that says a lot. and when they say there was strong cooperation from there was strong cooperation from the tabloid, you wonder what kind of cooperation was there in the first place. indeed. i've never been a role correspondent so i don't know. it isa role correspondent so i don't know. it is a very valid point. i have to slightly disagree with grace. this

is inspired by them. it is prince harry and meghan markle. no matter how you view it. they are mega well figures. in any normal event of the front page news and these are not normal days but it still remains. never a role correspondent. i think you missed your calling. very good to talk about the. my thanks to grace and jamie. that's it for the papers this hour. my thanks to grace and jamie. goodbye. hello. i'm here with the latest sports headlines. uefa will provide an update on plans to finish the delayed football season to all its 55 national association members on tuesday by a video link. europe's football governing body hopes to end the current campaign in august but there are doubts that will be feasible.

that meeting comes as scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has cast further doubt whether the scottish premiership can be completed at all. warning that holding matches even behind closed doors might not be possible. with more, here is our scotland correspondent chris mclachlan. for the past few weeks, scottish football has been fighting with itself about how best to finish up the current season. but as that row rumbles on, another is about to begin. the one about how and when football can realistically start again. there is confusion across europe but a number of associations have already said they are determined to see out the current campaign. in france, italy, and germany for example. in belgium, austria and the czech republic, they have even started training again. but realistically when can we go and watch a game of football or rugby? we probably won't have a packed stadium back until we have a vaccine.

and that is 18 months away as everybody‘s best guess. it is probably going to be next year before we can allow that. a bombshell that if true could absolutely see some clubs teetering on the brink of going bust. would you agree with some leading epidemiologists who say that it is very unlikely that stadiums can be filled again before a vaccine is found and how feasible is playing live sporting events behind closed doors? i would absolutely say that people should not be under the expectation that large—scale mass gatherings will be starting anytime soon. because we must make sure that we are doing everything we can to continue to suppress the virus. so play games behind closed doors, that is already the plan for some leagues. but...

playing behind closed doors doesn't mean to say you won't get gatherings of people to try and join sports together. and all of this sometimes is this place is other people into other environments to watch sports together so we need to be very careful and again, we need to be led by where the science and evidences for the future. the future, predictions over that of changing daily info box worries and concerns are no different. like every part of a life at the minute, there is uncertainty. and when there is uncertainty, there is always that void, but football and clubs have a history of surviving some of the most difficult things but i don't think we should underestimate what is ahead of us at the minute. for a nation where sport can be part of the very fabric of society and the fans must keep their distance from now. but how long can sport live without them? arsenal's first team squad manager at mikel arteta and members of his coaching staff have become the latest in the premier league to agree a new pay cut to help the club deal with a financial fallout of the coronavirus outbreak.

they've agreed a 12.5% pay cut and they say in a voluntary agreement following the positive and constructive discussions. fellow premier league side southhampton and west ham have already announced wage deferrals for their players. the number of footballers reporting symptoms of depression has doubled since the sport shut down. in a survey by the world players union also found that markers of generalised anxiety had also risen in players across 16 countries. they've implemented strong measures to contain the pandemic. medical experts have warned that tokyo 0lympics now set forjuly next year will be a uniquely risky event. particularly if a coronavirus vaccine hasn't been rolled out by then. doubts have been expressed about whether the games can be held in 15 months' time as restrictions may still be in place in other parts of the world. the medical experts add organisers

should plan for a skill olympics. the medical experts add organisers should plan for a scaled down olympics. now we have seen sport fans around the world is trying to find different ways to keep active and busy during lockdown. a lot of the time without a lot of room or outside space. so how about this? a spot of rooftop tennis. this is 13—year—old victoria and 11—year—old corolla in northwest italy. the junior tennis players keeping their practice going even in a pandemic. this video from the weekend has already racked up 8 million views on social media. and that is all the sport for now. hello there. for pretty much everyone it was a dry and sunny day on monday, blue skies overhead like these in the north yorkshire area and more to come over the next few days thanks to this large area of high pressure, low pressure in the mediterranean and between the two we are going to get quite strong easterly winds again across the uk.

that will add to a cool feel on the eastern coast of scotland and england. the cloud and rain has been affecting northwest france will move further westwards through the day and for most of us it will be sunshine from dawn till dusk and you will have gusty easterly winds and maybe even a0 and one or two areas and as the easterly winds come across the sea which are the coolest at this time of year. that is why across eastern areas of england the temperatures a little bit cooler around the coastal strip. in land and it will be a little bit warmer than it was on monday with tuesday's highs around 20—21d. as we go through tuesday evening overnight, the winds will begin to fall a little lighter overnight but temperatures by day have

been a little bit higher and so they should be a little higher overnight as well. these are the kind of lows around nine celsius. wednesday, it will not be as windy and with more sunshine to come, the vast majority of us, temperatures will go a few degrees higher. england and wales, that means temperatures pushing more widely into the 20s and 22 degrees the top temperature but western areas of scotland and northern areas of ireland we could be getting up to 18 or 19 degrees. the area of high pressure in charge of our weather band this week will decline and we get towards thursday and the winds will get even lighter still. there could be at the nests and maybe some shallow fog patch and that they will clear quickly during the morning and again it is another sunny day on the cards. there is probably going to be

the warmest day of the week with temperatures up to around 2a degrees and the warmest areas. heat really focusing across england and wales. temperature into the high teens there. friday should be a dry day as well although we will start to see more in the way of cloud approaching the northwest of the country and temperature wise, feeling warm in the sunshine here and 15 for belfast and the 20s for much of england and wales. beyond that into the weekend and next week, the main push of the jet stream is where the most active weather systems will be and high pressure will be thereabouts across the uk and we could see some very weak weather systems trying to cross the country. what we are expecting then heading into the weekend as they will be a little more cloud in the sky and a general downward pressure and temperature we are looking at temperatures drifting and cloud could thicken enough to get some

isolated showers over the course of the weekend. that is it for your weather, goodbye.

this is bbc news. i'm ben brown with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. donald trump announces that the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, is to visit the white house on tuesday. he's going to come in to see us tomorrow. he's coming to the oval office tomorrow afternoon. andrew's going to be coming coming in with some of his people, so we look forward to that. the price of us oil goes negative, as demand dries up and producers sell rather than store their supplies. across the uk there are still urgent calls for supplies of protective equipment as ministers say that every effort is being made. the number of people currently confirmed to have the coronavirus in italy falls for the first time. and in other news: why harry and meghan are taking
