hello and welcome to our look at the first editions of the national and international papers. we are hoping to hook up with the political correspondent for the daily mirror. hello. also, the home affairs editor. welcome to you both. according to the daily telegraph, borisjohnson is planning to return to number ten as early as monday — to take back control of the coronavirus crisis. the daily mirror feature the duke and duchess of cambridge and their children joining in tonight's ‘clap for carers‘ event — as it reports a virus test for 10 million workers being made

available in bid to get britain out of lockdown. 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. the daily mail says the government is finally put testing at the heart of its virus strategy, adding troops have been called in to ensure key workers who need tests can get them. 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. the financial times reports that chancellor rishi sunak is preparing to offer a 100 per cent guarantee on loans to britain's smallest businesses, after weeks of pressure from conservative mps

and the bank of england. and the sun says we're all going to have to be prepared for plenty of ‘bad hair days‘. billing an exclusive — its political editor has the scoop that ministers reckon hairdressers, beauticians and nail salons face what are we going to do? will go to the sun and the minute. good to have you back. back in the control on monday and as early as monday. that seems to be the essential phrase there. . i think it seems to be the essential phrase there. . ithink it might seems to be the essential phrase there. . i think it might be optimistic to think that the prime minister will return that quickly, but i think it does highlight this problem that we have that with out
11:34 pm
the prime minister at the helm, it does seem to be, almost a sense to kind of, that we are waiting as nicola sturgeon has kind of pushed the government in terms of articulating the strategy with the scottish people about what is coming and the fact that there will be a new normal for the foreseeable future. but without anyone in charge, normally dominic raab, but really boris johnson feels like charge, normally dominic raab, but really borisjohnson feels like this this sort of, vacuum in terms of who's making the decisions. do you agree that? borisjohnson has been in by phone, and dominic raab us all, the first secretary but very keen, according to some sources in
11:35 pm
government, that he did not want to ta ke government, that he did not want to take over. he was there as a ca reta ker take over. he was there as a caretaker but not really to assert his own individual independent authority. the difficulty with that would be the feeling that boris johnson was going to come back fairly quickly and it's quite hard to take control from borisjohnson having if he had been away from a lot longer that would've become necessary, but i think is absolutely the case of in fact going at the press conference yesterday with chris come on the side like he was running the government in terms of the lockdown having to endure until christmas. i do not blame him for that because he is looking at it from a scientific point of view. clearly, there is a lot to keep in mind, political decisions that be taken into consideration and for borisjohnson went taken into consideration and for boris johnson went and became ill, the narrative was that he was one of
11:36 pm
the narrative was that he was one of the more hawkish people getting out of the lockdown. it seems to have changed and it makes it possible and it is the big decision to move out of it and when. but it makes it easier to do that whether he does that so quickly is another another question altogether. and going onto the times, the leader putting pressure number ten on the first plan, front of conversation with the electorate over what is happened, outlined a 26 page framework for easing the lockdown and there are no easy political decisions to be made here or there. this could be a potentially political trade—off and we're going to increase the risk of more people getting this by these lockdown restrictions. take a thatis that is a trade—off that is a trade—off that they are difficult to
11:37 pm
articulate and a lot of stories suggesting there was a cabinet split between those, like the chance that they want the economy up and running again in the health secretary about the coronavirus they insisted that everybody look at the same plane. that is the reality and is notjust about the economy, it is also about other health conditions that are exacerbated by the lockdown. and people being treated for cancer and other conditions and the long—term effects of increase poverty because of what he can have on health. but it is all about different decisions. the government has always talked about us getting beyond the peak and most of us are beyond that now. so ina way, most of us are beyond that now. so in a way, we've had a lot of
11:38 pm
conversations and last week the week before and the public, all the evidence is that the public is still in favour of lockdown because it shows to be worth it to have some sort of test. that is a fickle area, isn't it? public opinion could change quite quickly and after several weeks. there's always a sense, i don't know where you live, but already you're seeing more and more people out and about now and on the streets and driving. and actually, wanting to get back into some sort of working framework. actually, wanting to get back into some sort of working frameworkli actually, wanting to get back into some sort of working framework. i am sure that is true and it is changing. and they can certainly change faster. i know it is more in danger of changing it breaking down if you are not given any since offender is a change, there could be some hope of a way out in the foreseeable future, even if it is a
11:39 pm
slow way out and it is explained that nicholas sturgeon did this to see, just to hold on there and it is a blind faith in the government has not done fantastically well overall in handling this crisis then, i think public faith starts to diminish andl think public faith starts to diminish and i think also there's a big difference between people who continue to have employment and so on and are directly affected by this and then there are those sourcing their jobs and then there are those sourcing theirjobs either disappeared and then there are those sourcing their jobs either disappeared or disappearing rapidly before their eyes and the prospects of their friends, family and so on. i think they will fade fairly rapidly and thus there is a clear reason, an explanation as to why it is necessary to keep holding on. because the argument is not that we are going to prevent all deaths by having a lockdown, it's because the nhs has to be given time to prepare to cope with the effects of the
11:40 pm
coronavirus and they have to be out when all the other demands are. and so when all the other demands are. and so far, that is being achieved to capacity. before we go to another stage, a photograph on the front page. the new service in edinburgh upstairs, downstairs, brilliant picture of husband and wife. another wonderful story picked up by the guardian in the last few days, been on the front page of the times. black people dying with covid—i9 at twice the rate of white people. these figures are shocking, aren't they shallow their very stark. in terms of analysis —— they shallow their very stark. in terms of analysis -- in terms of stark. it's 27 and a3. and it, i
11:41 pm
think a lot of that in the number of deaths of nhs staff and people thought that might have been very skewed because of the number of within the nhs. but it is actually affecting worse and it is interesting because it is not clear that we do not know why that is. the times of quoted trevor phillips, former head of the human rights commission and he is saying that, you cannot shy away from these numbers. and also, he warns that because of the lower rate in bangladesh. it is not clear that if colouration or correlation if there
11:42 pm
are colouration or correlation if there a re factors colouration or correlation if there are factors intrinsically, biologicalfactors or are factors intrinsically, biological factors or environmental factors. disproportionate death rates also in the black communities have been noted in the united states as well. clearly, one factor that is likely to be a cause is that the black population tends to be more urban based intends to be proportionately living in some of the poor are more deprived areas, so the poor are more deprived areas, so the environmental factor it could be the environmental factor it could be the case ted mcmahon case. and main case. in the population. and which is the case in those and those types of areas and that is a root problem that is manifesting itself in the way, clearly the other question is whether or not some of the biological causes, which we just
11:43 pm
do not know and nobody knows. so much to find out about this pandemic in the next two or three years in terms of how many people have been killed right across the road just outside of hospitals and indeed what the cause and immunity is going to be as well. let us move on to the mail, the test for millions. it was not raised by anyone at the press conference but, why this new test track in strategy, the strategies has always been discussed, but the actual tracing was not pursued in the early stages of this pandemic. there was an attempt and was a long time ago now and they did try and
11:44 pm
find the contact and i think what happened was the spreading happened and they moved on and they were looking at the spread and they moved on from that. but they would say that they have acted according to the science and the attempt to test and track and chase has always been ina and and track and chase has always been inaandi and track and chase has always been in a and i think you might discuss this at another newspaper, but it is more successful in other countries because they have infrastructure there and while this is welcome, a huge number of people, we've been playing catch up but it comes to testing the whole time and this is an attempt to get to the target
11:45 pm
which seems like an arbitrary number, 100,000 and you've got a few weeks to go and at the moment, we need to double that in a week. in the space of 2a hours, going to what lessons the space of 2a hours, going to what lesso ns ca n the space of 2a hours, going to what lessons can be learned from outside the new —— the -- the uk. a —— the uk. a potential game changer in the struggle against coronavirus, is going to be interesting to look back on this terrible time in a year to about who got it right. did germany and south korea get it right? did taiwan get it right? or did sweden get it right? all these different ways of approaching this pandemic and the lessons that can be learned. it seems like germany. the fa ct learned. it seems like germany. the fact that there early victims were the young people and therefore more likely to recover from it. it has
11:46 pm
been key is that actually going back to your previous point, the truth is that what happened is that we do not recognise february time, or even earlier that the true danger posed by this, we got to lockdown, we explained very clearly earlier on but what are your guests and it was when we got to the point of a lockdown, the virus was too prevalent in our society at that point to be able to do it in a meaningful way, cf. two press it down as you have done for now and then go out and tried to find people and trace them in effect, stamp it out that way. and it could be too late because the advice of the time backin late because the advice of the time back injanuary late because the advice of the time back in january february was not sufficiently alert that the virus post such a threat to us. and in south korea they seem to recognise
11:47 pm
that much earlier and engaged in this tracing and isolating of people and allowing them to easily operate. we have to confront the new normal because everyone is got to be prepared for a second wave of this 01’ prepared for a second wave of this ora prepared for a second wave of this or a third if it's anything like the spanish flu. and that is the real worry for government is that you get a second wave, you have to go through this again. and that is where the balance where some the viewers. the knowledge that they might reapply the restrictions if thatis might reapply the restrictions if that is the case and we have seen we have scene second waves in singapore reminding people of the danger. in looking across the world, it is really difficult to compare because
11:48 pm
people have different setups. germany was better positioned and we asa germany was better positioned and we as a country have seen huge cuts over the past ten or more years to draw a public health infrastructure, which is made some of these things really difficult to carry out. back to the telegraph. home—schooling helpline opens for frazzled and frantic parents. do either of you have kids at school at the moment? have they been struggling with her algebra and mineral chemical tables? we have one that's about to leave university in preschool so i am missing out on them. pretty good idea, no? the start line helpline. i think the founderjustin roberts, i think the founderjustin roberts, i think she is behind us as well. it must be pretty daunting for someone, especially for someone in that age group from nine to 1a or 15 when it
11:49 pm
is all a bit complicated even for people who did a levels long time ago. yes, definitely. iwould struggle a lot i do remember that crucial time growing up when your pa rents crucial time growing up when your pa re nts sto p crucial time growing up when your parents stop being able to help you and if you fail it,. i think this is and if you fail it,. i think this is a great idea and it has been putting a great idea and it has been putting a lot of pressure on family and i think the idea that you can basically do what teachers do is really ha rd basically do what teachers do is really hard and parents should go easy on themselves because everyone is just trying to do their best. people are saying that the best things the kind of, keep everyone happy and busy and feeling 0k, rather than worrying about lost bits in the curriculum and going through a different area can be long—lasting. a different area can be long-lasting. never teach your children or your girlfriend how
