would you have it any other way?” would worry if she wasn't with me. let's put it that way. so, you know, i wish i could... i'm sorry. 0h, debbie, ididn't mean to upset you. are you 0k? yeah, sorry. as strong as she is, the strain is showing. the charity carers uk says in a survey 55% of unpaid carers said they are feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities, and are worried they'll burn out in the coming weeks. we estimate that there are 8.8 million people caring unpaid for a loved one in this country. they need recognition, they need financial support, they need to be included in the contingency plans that the government is making. we need to make sure that services come back as soon as is humanly possible when all this is over. carers really need to know that they will. .. this will come to an end and they will get respite. i'm totally responsible for sarah now. i have to do everything for her. it's very stressful.

if i do become unwell, then the whole deck of cards comes down. itjust all falls down. the government says at this time the role of unpaid carers is even more important. it's advising them to create an emergency plan in case they fall ill and can't look after their loved ones. but, until vital services fully resume, carers like debbie feel theyjust have to get through it. start again tomorrow. nikki fox, bbc news. in the us, the death toll stands at more than 47,000, but in a move that has brought widespread criticism — including from the president — the governor of georgia has said nail salons, tattoo parlours and hairdressers in his state can open from tomorrow. restaurants will be able to resume business next monday. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports.

question — how do you reopen a tattoo parlour, a nail salon ora hairdressers and maintain social distancing, standing six feet apart? the obvious answer is you can't, but from tomorrow in the southern state of georgia, in complete disregard of white house guidelines, those businesses will be free to open their doors on the order of this donald trump supporting governor. we will allow gyms, fitness centres, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers... and the improbable list of businesses went on. ..their respective schools and massage therapists to reopen their doors this friday. though the president has been at the forefront of urging the reopening of the united states, this was too much for donald trump and brought a rare rebuke for a friendly republican governor. i told the governor of georgia, brian kemp, that i disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation

of the phase one guidelines for the incredible people of georgia. i want him to do what he thinks is right, but i disagree with him on what he's doing. there's no doubt georgia, like the rest of america, is suffering, but a number of local democratic mayors are joining the president in urging a rethink. i pray that the number of georgians who are infected and die will not increase significantly in the coming weeks as a result of the lifting of these restrictions. the latest unemployment figures show that 26 million americans have lost theirjobs injust over a month. the mantra at the white house has been that the first thing we have to do is flatten the curve. but it seems some governors are more interested in the bottom line. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. children in need and comic relief have teamed up for the first time tonight, to raise money for people

we are joined by the arrays in the uk and watched by viewers all around the world. coming up in the next 20 minutes or so we'll be live at the white house for the daily briefing. at briefing. the latest plans are in terms of opening at the latest plans are in terms of opening up some of the states, something he mentioned and his press conference yesterday and indeed has been for the last few days. and before that we'll take a look at the latest front pages from the newspa papers and the news websites. with me is nicola bartlett — the political correspondent for the daily mirror and the evening standards home affairs editor, martin bentham. welcome to you both. let's have a

quick look through some of the first additions we have so far. the international edition of the financial times reports that a potential anti—viral drug for coronavirus has failed in its first randomised clinical trial, disappointing scientists and investors. the new york times looks at the economic risk now facing italy's less developed regions. while the south avoided the worst of the coronavirus outbreak, many there rely on informaljobs and are ineligible for government relief. the japan times reports that the bank of japan is considering new economic stimulus measures next week. meanwhile france's le figaro outlines the measures the country will take as its prepares to ease its lockdown from may the 11th. emmanuel macron has been speaking to

state leaders in the past few hours. children will be allowed back to school if their parents are willing, and masks will be required on public transport. the daily mirror feature the duke and duchess of cambridge and their children joining in tonight's ‘clap for carers' event held every thursday now in britain. it reports a virus test for ten million workers being made available in bid to get britain out of lockdown. the daily telegraph carries the same picture of the royals and claims borisjohnson is planning to return to his office as early as monday — to take back control of the coronavirus crisis. the ‘i' highlights all "essential" workers in the uk it does not say specifically monday but as early as monday. the ‘i' highlights all "essential" workers in the uk showing virus symptoms — and others in their households —

can now book a coronavirus test — as the country ramps up its testing. and social tracing as well. and according to the times, uk government ministers are under mounting pressure to reveal their plans for easing lockdown restrictions, after senior tories said that scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon was right to outline her strategy for a "new normal" in scotland. ina26 in a 26 page document. right, let's look at the stories in more detail. welcome to you both again. let's look at the telegraph. as early as monday for boris johnson to look at the telegraph. as early as monday for borisjohnson to take back control. i think you hit on the caveats there that it was as early

as and that the prime minister would be guided by his doctors. i would be surprised if they saw him at the podium on monday. i think he will wa nt to podium on monday. i think he will want to come back and have something to announce as it were. so i think there was definitely a building sense that when any change to the lockdown comes that will be the prime minister who makes that announcement. and, he spoke to the queen on wednesday by phone. he has beenin queen on wednesday by phone. he has been in touch with some of his advisers but not generally with the cabinet yet selecting make of this? it is key to any move forward it seems that the government has been ina holding seems that the government has been in a holding position ever since he became ill and although we had a syste m became ill and although we had a system of cabinet governments taking decisions on the way forward, whether it actually changes something in the immediate future, she may be right that he would want

to announce something to show he has made a difference but whether that is the case or not remains to be seen. a lot of pressure on the prime minister and indeed number ten to give a framework for the easing of this lockdown because northern ireland is talking about it, nicola sturgeon is talking about it and emmanuel macron is talking to state governors and mayors about some sort of framework. that is quite different because of what nicola sturgeon did to way to make today and when she did a lot of the way through, i had of time and she kind of did this and made this play of being honest to the public and saying it would be difficult. there was no chance of going back to normal anytime soon but they had to forage a new normal. and i think yourideais forage a new normal. and i think your idea is trying to get the public with her when it comes to adapting. i think all through this

westminster has been talking about a time scale, possibly a month at a time scale, possibly a month at a time and actually what the public really probably is interested in is a lot longer at living with as coronavirus as the chief medical officer said yesterday. and possibly the front page of the times leads on that story as well, coming up nicola sturgeon, heaping pressure on number ten and demands for a grown up conversation. we will continue on with this conversation but a great picture, isn't it on the front page of the times there, this couple self isolating from each other. the other one was to young italian girls playing across roofs across the street and a system of collecting the balls. some great pictures. on

this specific picture, and edinburgh, both this couple, aged 52 and warning against complacent attitudes to be locked down after they both develop coronavirus symptoms. it is interesting looking at the rest of the story there, we discussed nicola sturgeon but the other point was the coronavirus death toll rose by 616 which is nowhere but also the testing for the key workers could potentially bring 10 million people into the frame. which would allow the government to meet that deadline have 100,000 tasks a day. by the end of the month that they could. it would help get there but to go back to the main thrust of the story, nicola sturgeon has a right to set out the position and the contrast with our government which is the view that matt hancock

has been
