hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with kate proctor and asa bennett. first, the headlines. boris johnson is back in downing street, two weeks after being discharged from hospital treatment for conronavirus. ministers say the public must adjust to "a new normal" in the fight against coronavirus. medics insist that social distancing remains vital. we now have a very definite trend in a reduced number of people in hospitals. that is definitely showing that our compliance with social distancing is proving

to be beneficial. there's continuing concern in care homes in england over testing for staff and residents. italy, the first country in europe to introduce a lockdown because of the coronavirus outbreak, is to ease some restrictions from early may. meanwhile, children in spain are allowed out for the first time in six weeks as the daily number of deaths fell to its lowest level in more than a month. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate proctor, political correspondent for the guardian, and asa bennett who is brexit commissioning editor at the telegraph. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. ..

the metro leads, like many of our papers tonight, with a picture of the prime minister back at downing street tonight and the headline boris back at no 10. the daily express has that story, reporting that borisjohnson returns to work to begin leading the country out of lockdown, while vowing to prevent a second wave of cases. the daily telegraph says the prime minister may ease the lockdown as early as this week. the situation in europe is the focus of the finacial times with italy, spain and france looking to ease restrictions. the front page of the times shows a picture of a runner on the mall in london where the london marathon should have finished today if it had gone ahead. the paper also has a story about an asteroid making its way towards earth. thankfully, scientists it will miss us byjust under 4 million miles. narrow escape. let us begin whilst asteroids avoid us. boris back at

number ten, the metro. kate proctor, we are surviving the asteroid, back to politics. the prime ministerfor the first time in a man is at work, out of isolation, out of hospital. we have seen a picture of the back of his head going into downing street. we are expecting to see the prime minister tomorrow. i am sure number ten will be keen to put out a video clip to show he is well. i am sure he will be giving a message as well over the video, something number ten have been keen to do. he has been extremely poorly, but it has been extremely poorly, but it has been extremely poorly, but it has been trail is quite well over the weekend that he is fighting fit and wants to get back to the job. hopefully we will see it is all going to be about how to ease the lockdown and resolving some of that tension we have heard about in the cabinet. what will boris johnson's first decision be on returning

tomorrow? as kate said, boris johnson will be tempted to make sure his presence is felt from day one, maybe with a video output on social media, perhaps even hosting one of the press conferences in the afternoon and early this week. remember that even soon after he came out of intensive care, he was putting on a tie and suit and recording his thanks for the social media public to the nurses, naming them. it was one of the most emotive and impactful and significant speeches he ever gave because it was so speeches he ever gave because it was so heartfelt and it resonated with many people who were wishing him well and are delighted he is bouncing back. now, given he has a talismanic effect, as someone who can represent the spirit of the nation, fighting back against the coronavirus, he will want to hit the ground running this week. he will have a lot to do. he has even put the message out in the daily

express. i will get britain moving, but will not risk lives. i don't know if that is a direct quote from a briefing or not. kate, when i have interviewed people over the last few weeks, there has been insistence that britain has collective government, the cabinet has shared responsibility as if there was no need for a prime minister. but these headlines show there has to be a single decision—maker. it looks like he is moving towards some decisions. i think that whilst some people have stepped up and down some of their functions, nothing can beat being the figurehead and that strong voice. from some of the conservative mpsi voice. from some of the conservative mps i have spoken to they are really keen for him to get back. they actually talk about the election and they say if anyone can deliver a strong message, we have seen that already at the december 2019 election. they need that him again.

there seems to be this idea that nobody else can communicate with the public as effectively as boris. some of these decisions have been put off and some of these decisions that have to be made in terms of the lockdown are so significant that only the prime minister can make them, even though he takes all the guidance in the world. there has been a little bit of a vacuum and a relu cta nce been a little bit of a vacuum and a reluctance to make decisions without boris being there. not people in the cabinet, but senior conservatives we re cabinet, but senior conservatives were keen for a decision to be made without boris back in the chair at all. we are moving on the daily telegraph. johnson to ease the lockdown this week. my own copy of this paper is so microscopically small that i can almost not read who wrote it. the political editor. would you mind taking us through, from the daily telegraph's point of view, that story means clearly there has been access to the prime

minister? gordon is one of our top people and what he has been taking up people and what he has been taking up is that borisjohnson's people and what he has been taking up is that boris johnson's allies are very much looking forward to the man leading the nation towards relaxing the lockdown. weeks after he was telling the nation he must stay at home, they must stay at home, they will change the message and it will be nuanced. they do not wa nt and it will be nuanced. they do not want to have this idea of an exit strategy, they say it is the next phase, and revolution. there is a little bit at the end on the front page where we learnt that public health england were not recommending a three week extension, they wanted a three week extension, they wanted a two—week extension originally. all these pieces are coming together where the prime minister is back and he can speak with the gravitas of someone he can speak with the gravitas of someone who has suffered coronavirus, to the extent he was in intensive care and has come back

fighting fit. he knows how serious the stakes are and he can at least communicate. if i can refer in passing to the express front page, while they work summarising the message, i will not risk lives, the problem is as soon as you relax it at all you are accepting there is a greater risk. instead, boris will be able to navigate how much is acceptable, even that we know that the rate of infection for coronavirus has fallen below one, which means fewer people are getting infected gradually. it is decreasing and waning. there is wiggle room. he understands how to give us back a bit more freedom while keeping a lid oi'i bit more freedom while keeping a lid on the coronavirus spread. briefly, kate, we don't have the guardian in this segment, we might have it later, but to be fair, i want to reflect where your paper is coming from. what is your paper's view, if there is a collective view, on how there is a collective view, on how the government has done in boris

johnson's absence? i think there has been a feeling that there have been lots of splits and divisions and although very publicly we will be told that the cabinet sing from the same hymn sheet, i really do not think that is the case. there are differing views on the lockdown, as has been reported in many papers. the guardian is keen to reflect some of the differences in opinion in our reporting over the last week or so. we are going back to the telegraph because there is a fascinating story again by gordon rayner. furloughed staff are urged to pick fruit amid growing crisis. the fact that migrant workers are not able to come and the fact there are younger, healthier people who have been furloughed from theirjobs. might that scheme work? it is very novel and an interesting scheme. 0ne wishes all the best of luck to it, given that what we have seen is many

british people are being paid to not work, and given we have seen sites of farm bosses having to import people from romania and eastern europe, cheap labour from the rest of europe, then why not look inwards? why not look to the local workers who clearly have time on their hands and they are able to pick up new skills and to dig for britain? obviously, how much that works that remains to be seen. just because you have time on your hands does not necessarily mean people will want to start digging. when firms tried to hire workers recently, kate, we were told they we re recently, kate, we were told they were struggled. they had to charter their own flights in. there might be potential vacancies, but will we see furloughed workers thinking i am going to spend several weeks on my knees picking strawberries? they

would have to be a lot of movement around the country to shift people around the country to shift people around to work. that in itself i do not understand. i would also say that some farming unions, when they we re that some farming unions, when they were talking about the seasonal migrant visa, they said they needed about 70,000 people to come and work in the uk and things like the soft fruit industry and various other farming sectors, so the idea you will suddenly meet that capacity seems to be a really long stretch. but it does hark back to this dig for britain notion. you will get people doing it, people will volunteer to do this, but they will struggle to get the numbers. not because i don't think people do not wa nt to because i don't think people do not want to do it, but i think people available to do it will not be in the right locations in the country. we are looking at the financial times. spain, france and italy are ahead of us in terms of infections by several weeks and now these

countries are starting to move out of mass lockdown. is that the way forward for britain? clearly, across europe the direction is relaxing the lockdown. we noticed earlier that spain is allowing children to go out. for example, in spain in the lockdown it was originally much stricter than the uk. they would have found it a real indulgence, treat, to have one trip out and about. only if you had a dog with you might you be able to possibly do it. people were borrowing dogs, trying to work out the system. and fiow trying to work out the system. and now they are allowing people to go out a bit more. the bottom line is you see in germany and across europe there are hairdressers opening up, all sorts of shops, and people are flocking to spend their money. clearly, the direction will have to be the same in the uk. we will look

at the daily mirror which features a different angle on our nhs heroes, the idea they should be given a medal. it is supported by all living, former prime ministers. kate, a medal might be useful, but some workers would say ppe is more ofa some workers would say ppe is more of a priority. of course. it is a nice initiative and i imagine many people would be happy to receive a medal, but it is ppe and the pay level for the care sector, the structuring of the care sector, all of these things are the really big issues, the things that worry and concern people. in many cases, it appears to have been a matter of life and death. a medal is a lovely initiative and a great idea from the mirror, but long term we need to look at the support available for some of the people who will be the recipients of that honour. some of the people who will be the recipients of that honouri some of the people who will be the recipients of that honour. i can't help but thinking in the crimean war the victoria cross was created. every time there is a national

crisis there is almost a call for a set of medals. but medals or ppe? which should come first? matt hancock invented a green badge for ca re hancock invented a green badge for care workers as well. it seems we do need to reward our front line workers with more than just a round of applause every thursday night. we are moving to the final story, the one we started off with at the beginning. new reason to stay in as asteroid races towards earth. it will flout social distancing guidelines. kate, it will miss? thank goodness. do we need anything else in 2020? we have a lot on our place at the moment. do you have any time to consider galactic matters at the moment? look, i amjust relieved. 4 million miles away, it is too close for comfort. ams is as good a mile. asa bennett and kate

proctor, thank you both so much. that is it for the papers this hour. we will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. coming up next its click. welcome to click. the days are getting longer, and so is the hair, but we are still here. hope you're 0k. look, lara's in the house. well, hers. hello! good to see you, spencer. how are you? what have you been doing apart from growing your hair? i've been quite busy watching a lot of tv, actually. we are big fans of doctor who here, so on social media, thousands

of fans have agreed to hit play on the same episode at exactly the same time, like seven o'clock. and what then happens is we all watch together but the director, the script writer and some of the actors are all tweeting along while we are watching so you get this live director's commentary on a second screen. i love it, it's a kind of communal feel, we're all watching these great programmes. that sounds really fun! in this house, we've been very busy making television. downstairs my husband has been making his tv show, it's a good job i'm good with tech because he's needed a bit of help. yes, i've seen. and this sign has become a bit controversial, because when his sign arrived for his show, it's huge! so there's now been a competition. next week this may have to move closer to the camera. 0k, whatever you need to do to stay sane during lockdown, you have your logo wars. that's absolutely fine. anyway, let's move on, let's talk dating! dating apps have seen a rise in interaction since we've all been an isolation.

you know, i found that weird as well, because i wondered why people would start the dating process when they know they can't then meet in the flesh anytime soon. that was my first thought, but actually, if you're single and you're looking for love, you might as well get on the case as soon as possible. and 0mar mehtab has been putting one of them to the test. with dating apps exploding in popularity over the past years, a generation learned a new way of finding love. but, with social isolation now in place, the dating game is being reinvented once again. also innovating are two roommates from new york, they are rance nix and thi lam. they've come up with loveisquarantine, a dating format that's broadcast as a sort of live reality show on instagram. after giving a few details on their google sheets, six people are then manually sorted

by nix and lam into pandemic pods and paired up to go on phone dates with each other. so, i'm actually going to give this a go myself, and even though it's a phone date, i do have to look my best, so i'm going to get ready. as the evening goes on, i'll have to send a video to loveisquarantine after each date talking about how it went, so that the audience on instagram watching this reality show unfold can keep up with the action. and for the purposes of this online show, i have to provide a short intro video. hey there. my name is 0mar mehtab, i'm 29... during the round—robin dates, those involved don't know what each other looks like. in all the videos uploaded, fingers obscure faces. only if a couple hits it off are they finally revealed. the creators wanted to get right away from the normal obsession with image that you find on most dating sites to get to what they say is important. ‘cause anything is possible!

for me personally, i happen to have achondroplasia, which is the most common form of dwarfism. now, a lot of girls, not all girls, but a lot of girls are looking for the 6'11", attractive, "he's got the beard, he's got the good hair, the muscles and all the things," so for me to go on a dating app like hinge or tinder, the numbers just aren't great because i don't get that opportunity... people go, "oh, nah — swipe left," but for something like loveisblind and loveisquara ntine, like i said, we're allowing people the opportunity to get to know people, and who knows? right, it's 2am here, making it evening time in the us. and before the first date has even begun, excitement is building up in the comment. so, must admit, bit nervous. let's see how this goes. hey, 0livia. how are you? and as i'm talking away, i realise that there's little to worry about,

largely in part because i'm not focusing on anything except the conversation. 0k, i've just had my first date and it kind of feels like the ‘90s, where if you had a penpal via letter or via e—mail, you wouldn't see them until you actually met them in real life, but it's refreshed for a social media generation. right now i'm about to send a video talking about the date and how it went for everyone to see. we're excited, so keep us posted. let's go! we believe in love! but after this lockdown is over, will there still be a place for loveisquarantine? for others that do consistently use dating apps, i feel like something similar to loveisquarantine actually is a better option — it's just a lot more of an intentional, ifeel like, sort of approach. it's hard because i know that when i am using an app and i have all this information about somebody, i know what they like, i know that i can be more particular about it. i was way more nervous

on loveisquarantine than i was in person, because i get scared of what i'm going to say, but when they're in person there is a connection and there's more back—and—forth. for better or worse, when dating apps came in, they changed our culture. in this time of isolation, we're still relying on technology but re—learning how to connect with people, so maybe the art of conversation isn't dead after all. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that netflix added 16 million new subscribers in the first quarter of the year, nintendo said it's increasing switch production by 10% and facebook released its gaming app ahead of schedule, a move they said was directly in response to the lockdown. facebook also launched a coronavirus survey in the uk this week asking select users if they had'd symptoms of covid—19.

it's a part of a joint effort with carnegie mellon university to help track the illness. the uk surveyjoins an online heat map to track where people in america are feeling ill, county by county. people can report any covid—19 or flu—like symptoms they've had had in the last 2a hours. a device made from a raspberry pi mini—computer is being tested to remotely monitor vital signs in coronavirus patients. engineers at the university of toronto designed the device which attaches to a fingertip probe. it feeds patient data back to nurses via wi—fi. 60 more satellites were launched into orbit by elon musk‘s spacex starlink mission, joining 360 that are already up. spacex says it will eventually have 12,000 satellite in space with the aim of providing global internet coverage. and finally, it was the 50th anniversary of earth day this week, with celebrations taking place mainly online. the european space agency beamed a powerful message of human unity from stephen hawking out across the planet.

stephen hawking: when we see the earth from space, we see ourselves as a whole. 0k, school is back and that means for parents at home, we have to start helping our children with their lessons. there is a lot of homeschooling content online, but it's pretty overwhelming for any parent to work out where to go for what. so here's kate russell with a round—up of what's around. you know, it's ok to admit that this shutdown is sending you a little bit doolally. like these parents who posted these brilliant memes about homeschooling. and with schools going back, but the kids remaining at home, here is my tech survival kit. many of the resource hubs that teachers already use have put up special sections to guide parents through this stressful period. twinkle has daily activities for primary age.
