care workers and family carers who are living occurring, put in place some in their own homes mitigations around risk profiling to know how to support people through this crisis and making sure those at greatest and we haven't had enough risk are protected from exposure to guidance from government. the government has said all care home residents with symptoms the virus, because it doesn't help will get tested as capacity increases. any of us to lose health and care staff in this way. and remember, there is a lot of non—covid—mac work it says it is continuing develop going on. that is why we are now autism specific guidance. worried about if you are patients and to create access for online attending hospital accident and support. chris has a less severe form of autism. emergencies. there is plenty of work he lives by himself but the virus means he has lost for doctors and nurses and others to both his long—term carers, one for health reasons, do other than treating covid the other to look after her children. patients. we need to put people in the most appropriate setting for has mother says her their health and risk. can i also son is struggling. gets very confused and frustrated with any form talk to you about masks? you have of change to his timetable been talking about that. do you or his daily routine. when situations like this arise, you get a lot think use of them should be of anxiety from him. extended? what we are saying is that the family are rallying around as best they can, dropping food the biggest priority, the most at his door, but jane lives immediate priority, is to make sure with another vulnerable person so that health and care workers have she has to keep her distance. got masks as they care for patients what is the biggest fairforyou? who are infectious, or potentially

infectious. we mustn't reduce the is it the virus itself or the lockdown and everything availability of medical masks. what that goes along with it? i think it's the lockdown and everything that goes with that. there is some emerging evidence of, and some nations have adopted, is for him not to have contact, the use of cloth coverings. and he's safe, but at what expense? this crisis, then, is about more than the virus. these are known to reduce droplet the impact of the lockdown on infection. what we think is that of public health may be felt those essential workers who cannot for many years to come. self—isolate, and those essential workers who cannot self— isolate, and you a tough time for so many people. those essential workers who cannot self—isolate, and you cannot maintain social distancing, go out let's take a look at today's papers. the times says the government has to work and are mixing with others, appointed advisers to help draw up guidance to enable companies to get clearly it would seem logical to back to work and prevent the economy from collapsing. reduce any rate of transmission, the guardian leads on the prime however small, given that the minister returning to work. consequences are that people can it says borisjohnson is under die. and so we are looking at people pressure to explain how schools like supermarket cashiers, and businesses can reopen without putting lives at risks. shopkeepers, bus drivers, surely the sun is paying tribute they should also be protected? if it to the "unsung" workers helping during lockdown. requires what can be helped by some bus drivers, shopkeepers and cleaners are among those saluted sort of face covering, that should by the paper. be considered. remember, germany, and the independent‘s online edition austria and the central —— centre of leads on a warning that doctors are being left without

protective gear. disease and communications in the so we look at the inside pages? 0h, usa, have recommended this. it is to protect those who have no choice but go on then. the london marathon, i to mix with others without social should be running the london distancing. you referred to some marathon like 40,000 other people. sort of facial covering. what do you you remember when tunnels were full? mean by that? there is evidence in the 2.6 challenge, people doing laps some nations of cloth coverings, masks that are more readily around the gardens, extraordinary things. there is a little bit from available, even some that are home the now showing last year, there was at tower bridge, this year cloth, so there is plenty of com pletely information out there about how this at tower bridge, this year completely empty on april 28. david can be achieved. as i said, nations like germany and austria have made ita like germany and austria have made it a requirement when people go out weir was out in his garden yesterday to be wearing some sort of covering. a lot of different things, people running up and down stairs, doing it's about making sure that any droplets are not transmitted. so if planks, lots of different things. we droplets are not transmitted. so if we advise people to cover their nose and mouth with their elbow or hand, a p pa re ntly planks, lots of different things. apparently there are three types of it stands to reason that some sort pandemic personality: accepter, of covering will reduce the risk of sufferer or resistor. i'm not sure where i am out of those. i think i transmission. what's really important about this, however, is that no one should feel complacent. am an acceptor. i think it depends it is important that this is part of

on which a day for me, i could be public health messaging, that this anyone over three. 0bviously, is not in place of social distancing, it is not to make people on which a day for me, i could be anyone over three. obviously, there is not that much you can do about it. sally has been talking to us feel less meticulous in hand washing. all of those measures must about going back to training at safe continue, but this would add an distance. there are quite a few stories in back pages about a plan extra layer of protection. and however small it is, because of the to put premier league players in impact we should pursue it. can i hotels on lockdown for six weeks so ask you one last question? we know the prime minister is back in they can complete the season, to downing street. what do you think is play behind closed doors. that is his biggest challenge, starting potentially a plan for that. will today? i think the challenge for me, they take them away from their families? you stay with the team and is representing doctors, is that we wa nt is representing doctors, is that we want to make sure that we have you finished the season that way in proper protection in proper a short space of time. look at this, supplies, not for a doctor is going this is a strictly story, strictly to work worried about whether stocks are running out. and in fact, as we saw about a week ago, they were bosses have held crisis talks after struggling to sign up enough dangerously low and had run out in some hospitals. you've got to make sure we are celebrity contestants. the some hospitals. you've got to make sure we are not in a hand to mouth situation and actually we have co ntesta nts celebrity contestants. the contestants may have to be proper supplies with full quarantined with their partners for manufacturing capacity utilised in months. the show could be postponed the uk. the second is testing. it

it coincided with an easing message for everyone, but it's of restrictions which means that really important. now is not the children are outside for the first time in six weeks. time to ease. we all need to stick spain has had one of europe's strictest lockdowns, but the government hopes to ease to restrictions. i am sure you have measures further to let everyone exercise outside. seen the telegraph reporting today captain tom moore has been honoured that boris johnson seen the telegraph reporting today that borisjohnson will announce plans to ease lockdown measures as early as this week. is there no with a special postmark, truth in that at all? i have great to acknowledge the £29 million respect for print and broadcast medium, but over the years i've been he's raised for nhs in politics, i've learned not to charities. a lwa ys in politics, i've learned not to always believe everything i read in always believe everything i read in the war veteran who turns a newspaper or beyond. you hurt the 100 on thursday did it by walking laps of his garden. environment secretary said yesterday all post up until friday will be marked with the words "happy100th birthday captain thomas moore the 7th of may is the date by which nhs fundraising hero." amazing, that, isn't it? we have to review the measures renewed a week or so ago and we will do that. but i think it's too early it's time now for us to put at the moment to speculate on what some of your coronavirus might or might not come through in questions to a gp. joining us today is dr zoe norris. any changes. we have achieved, or we lovely to have your new programme. i

think we will start with the are achieving, what we set out to, government announcing that essential which is to make sure that the nhs workers and their families will be tested by me. there is a huge a lwa ys which is to make sure that the nhs always has excess capacity over the take—up of that when it was demand for this. i remember early on announced in the past few days. what sort of difference will that make to in this pandemic, in the situation, you and others working in the sitting in matt hancock's offers. he industry? it will make a substantial got up from the conference table and difference. i think at the moment we with a red pen he drew the peak if have colleagues who are anxious we didn't do anything in the about infecting patients, infecting the rest of the staff, and people challenge that posed to nhs capacity and the then set out the strategy to reduce that peak which would mean who are worried. people are worried that the nhs capacity was always about vulnerable patients that they are caring forand about vulnerable patients that they are caring for and not having any coping. that is what we have set out clarity. the staffing situation is to do. that is working and that's variable across the country and some what we are achieving. what we are places really are struggling in achieving that because of the terms of staff having to self—isolate and terms of staff having to restrictions and social distancing self— isolate and not terms of staff having to self—isolate and not being there to provide the care. so it will make a in place. it's really important we stick with that, however challenging big difference. what is the sort of it is. with the sunshine out, i know testing going on in the surgery for how hard that has been and i know your work at the moment?” the impact it has had. your boss testing going on in the surgery for your work at the moment? i work across several in the east riding of matt hancock also said back on the

yorkshire. we have centralised testing, so we are not doing any 2nd of april, the issue of testing testing, so we are not doing any testing in the surgery itself. that the rugby 100,000 tests carried people are going to the hospital out by this thursday. we are around trust are one of the new drive through sites, one of the bigger sites. so we have a number of 70,000 tests per day behind that at options that involve not too much the moment. how is that going to travel for our patients. one of the happen? we have seen in recent days other big issues which has been an exponential increase in the talked about a lot recently in number of tests being made available addition to testing has been the supply of ppe. last time we spoke to and we have increased dramatically the eligibility for them. you saw you, you said your children have that at the back end of last week. been making ppe for yourself and others you work with. has that the widening for the scope of those situation improved at all since we spoke to you last? not particularly. who can access those tests. front line nhs workers and others can get i think people ordering ppe, whether those through pillar one of the it is health workers, care workers approach. through their workplace. we have loaned it out now with the in the social care sector, have kind ability to book online. it is still of given up on the main supply chains and what we're finding is that the usual suppliers that we use 70,000 behind what the promise was have small amounts coming in and for this thursday. we are they are able to take limited orders dramatically increasing and we are seeing it going up. day by day. the which then be delivered in different parts, so you cannot get a big announcement was at the back end of

last week about the widening of that volume at one time. and the small amounts are trickling through and eligibility criteria. i suspect you will see in the next few days very it's quite unpredictable, so you may have several thousand aprons but dramatic increases but i would also only one box of masks. so it'sjust say that normally at the weekend we see a slight dip in the numbers, requiring constant ringing, this weekend we have seen more tests e—mailing and begging and borrowing, done than on previous weekends. so really. so not as dire as it was it is having an impact on the once, but certainly not a smooth modelling for these tests, for the supply chain. i have a question for you from kevin who says he is going roll—out of the tests, is that it into week five of his recovery, but will not be a smooth increase, it he still has horrendous cough and will not be a smooth increase, it will be a dramatic day by day severe fatigue. is there any sort of exponential increase which is what we are beginning to see with home understanding of how long things can testing kits and the mobile testing last? yes, so we are starting to centres. the bma have been saying know a lot more about the longer term recovery. it seems that that health care staff should not be patients bounce back fairly quickly or have the kind of symptoms that tested on a first—come first serve basis, the online booking system. kevin is reporting and that can go on for five or six weeks. i would be what is your response to that? there are two cautious about a cough that changes what is your response to that? there a re two routes what is your response to that? there are two routes into this. people can our patients who are becoming more self refer through the new online u nwell system but front line nhs staff and

our patients who are becoming more unwell again because we sometimes see there is a secondary infection, those in pillar one can get straight a bacterial infection rather than a viral one, and that their needs into the system through their looking at. so it's a challenge and workplace and being tested there. certainly we have patients and i there is a direct route for them have friends and colleagues who are well beyond six weeks and still not through their hospital or their workplace. so this is about widening feeling back to normal. that might the route by which people can get cover the next question. kerry is a into it, but it's not about dilating front line worker. she said she has it are making it harderfor nhs had two manic episodes of symptoms. front line staff to get those tests, the second time she tested positive. it's about creating routes alongside her question is about the number of existing ones. i want to talk to people getting reinfected. could about care homes. at first, that be to do with what you were airports. the government were talking about beforehand ? that be to do with what you were talking about before hand ?|j that be to do with what you were talking about beforehand? i think potentially, yes. we have seen refusing to deny reports that people patients who seem to fulfil the flying into the uk would have to be quarantined for two weeks. can you symptoms for coronavirus and then have a negative swab. 0f symptoms for coronavirus and then have a negative swab. of course there are other things out there at there are other things out there at confirm, is that something being the moment and it might not all be discussed, that could potentially coronavirus. but i think the world happen? as you saw the foreign health organization of the weekend said that we cannot assume because secretary said yesterday on various ominous an aside at once that they media programmes and broadcast he have immunity. and i think prior to did, its media programmes and broadcast he did, it'sa media programmes and broadcast he did, its a possibility but it's not that we were thinking there might be something that we are in a position

a degree of short—term immunity. it's bizarre as a doctor to be to say we are going to do at this learning about this disease as we go point. the reason is quite simple. and having to change what we are it's the science behind this. you thinking based on new evidence mentioned people saying they were coming up every day. we still get surprised we were not doing this questions every day we speak to a gp anyway. the reality is that the from people saying, if they have a concern that is not related to scientific advice is it can be useful if you are trying to contain coronavirus, can they come and see us? that is possible, isn't it? a virus. but the virus is already in this country and therefore the absolutely. please do get in contact. the majority of surgeries advice from the chief medical ordering telephone appointments. i officer so far has been that this think both us and the patients have been surprised how much we can get done over the phone or we are using would have a minimal effect in slowing the spread of the virus. as video technology. and able to look at things, able to chat in more with anything, we continue to be led detail and then patients who have by the science. if that science symptoms that do need seeing, so evolves or changes, as the situation particularly young children, we will changes, we will of course look at bring up face—to—face. but what i am that extremely carefully. this morning we have been looking at trying to say to patients as we stories of some of the families of don't want to do that unless it is those who have died in hospital. going to alter what we do in our tomorrow, we will get the latest

management because there is a risk figures from care homes from the of bringing people out of the house office of national statistics. we and into somewhere where there are are still a few weeks behind with other people in a health care the care homes figures. the latest figures we got was for the week up setting. so get in touch but bear to the 10th of april which showed a with us if it is a slightly funny quadrupling of deaths in england and video call to start with. there was wales, up to 1000. are you expecting a lot of talk in the past few days grim news from care homes tomorrow? about whether the general public should be wearing masks. do you have any thoughts on that? i really well, firstly, any deaths in hospital or a care home, anyone who struggle with this. as a doctor, we dies from covid—19 is a tragedy for are told throughout her training the importance of winning the right kind their friends dies from covid—19 is a tragedy for theirfriends and dies from covid—19 is a tragedy for their friends and family. my sympathies go out to every single of masks. when they don't work, they tend not to work as soon as they person who knows someone who has died from this dreadful disease. we have moisture on them. obviously have seen on your programme and your breath has moisture in it. so others the human stories of those if you are breathing in and out of a who have succumbed to this disease. you're right about the numbers. the mask for more than a few minutes it can get wet and that can mean that viruses and bacteria can easily be stored in the mask and can then be ons statistics take us up to the transmitted. having said that, what 10th of april. i understand that seems to be happening in other people are frustrated and want more countries is that it is those who do up—to—date numbers, but we need to not have symptoms who are being ensure they are accurate. we need to

advised to wear it for the protection of others. i am ensure they are accurate. we need to ensure they are verified and accurate. you are right, this week personally struggling with it a we will see the next set of little because it is different to validated statistics published and what we have been taught and said, reg retta bly validated statistics published and regrettably i would expect to see but it's about whether it would cause any harm. i think people need potentially a significant increase to be aware of other measures. hand in the number of people have died in washing and social distancing remain ca re in the number of people have died in care homes and more broadly in the the most important things. wearing a community because the ons statistics mask or gloves is not going to will cover that. we have seen the protect you 100%. doctor zoe norris, hospital death rate which heartbreakingly at the weekend passed 20,000. it is reasonable to thank you very much. kevin has already come back and said thank you expect that there will be a significant number of deaths in the for answering my question. that is community as well, which is equally your first consultation of the day done! thank you very much indeed. if heartbreaking. only things were so simple and you dominic raab said yesterday on the could get an answerjust like that. andrew marr programme that he was sally, we are entering our sixth reasonably confident. you said those week of lockdown. figures, out tomorrow and if you expect them to be bad. where is he getting those figures from?” expect them to be bad. where is he getting those figures from? i am saying the last set of figures were on the 10th of april. we have had during these times, you see the best over two weeks since then, so we would expect an increase over those on the worst of people. footballers

two weeks. i think what don was are role models. quite rightly saying is that we have when you consider these players know they are role models, seenin quite rightly saying is that we have seen in hospitals, we have seen the you really have to wonder numbers of deaths slowing. and we what they are thinking. moise kean of everton would expect to see that replicated will find his picture all over the back pages this morning, across the country. but i think it's after he hosted a party at his flat. the club are said to be furious, and there are reports of a fine important we wait for those figures of up to £160,000. tomorrow before we speculate too sounds like a lot but it's around much on what they might be. i think two weeks wages for the player. arsenal players will be allowed back at their training ground from today it is reasonable to expect they might have increased since two weeks but strict social distancing ago. you have told us a few times will be in place. and italy's top division this morning that you are following will be back in individual the science with regards to various things like airports and relaxing training next monday, and team training two weeks later, after the prime minister announced restrictions we are currently the first steps in lifting facing. on the issue of face still a the country's lockdown. the hope is that matches lot of questions about this, asking could resume at the end of the month but that will depend on how this about a lack of clarity about who should be wearing them and who —— tentative return goes. we could see top flight matches in germany as soon as 09 may, with should they be worn. can you if everything goes give us a clear answer this morning to plan there. on that issue of the facemask mark, and spain plan to start antibody please? i suspect it will frustrate

tests for players next week. you and your viewers but the reality is that of the science on that has been mixed. this is a new disease which we are learning about in real they have bought a series of tests and players have been asked to take time. scientists are doing amazing research at pace. but you have seen them next week before they decide what to do next. the current advice on facemasks from our scientific advisors, which is a hockey club in kent has been they have real value in a clinical doing its bit to give its players with learning difficulties some setting and in particular routine, and a sense circumstances, but at the moment of normailty during their advice is that there isn't the uncertainty of the lockdown. the tunbridge wells flyers have that same value for you or me going taken their training sessions online, with the help of some celebrity guests, about our daily lives. i appreciate as katherine downes there have been other scientific has been finding out. papers and some other governments have you got your hockey who have taken a different review. sticks with you? that is the reality of different hockey sticks with you. hockey sticks are raised! science in this space. we will what basil brush knows expect more advice on that in the about hockey can be counted coming days from our chief scientific adviser and chief medical officer. they are among the best in on the claws of one paw. the world. i said huge stall by the but he is world—class when it advice they give us. as the science comes to entertainment, evolves a nd advice they give us. as the science evolves and as the scientific debate and that really is what this about this evolves, they will update is all about. 13—year—old aaron has cerebral palsy and learning difficulties. the advice they give us. i don't not being able to go to hockey since lockdown wa nt to the advice they give us. i don't want to prejudge what that

has been hard for him, scientific advice might be. i will but since the tunbridge wells flyers took their lessons online, be guided by the scientific i some vital normality has been retained. somewhat is essentially a scientific question. ok, thank you. edward aaron really enjoys the physical activity. argar, thank you for spending some to still be able to have that time with us and breakfast micro. thank you. collectivity to the individual children is massive. the competition watchdog that is pretty good! is going to be looking at refunds one more. and cancellations in the travel industry this week, following a big rise in complaints. ben has the details. you can balance. good morning. yes, so many of you getting in touch with us about this. aboutjust how difficult it seems for serena and friday to be to get a refund for a holiday the lamb, every day is a good day, virus or not. or flight that's been cancelled but it is social interaction she misses. now some days are almost as sociable as they have ever been. because of coronavirus. # ymca. so much so the watchdog, the singing, dancing, exercises and drills, and team members regulator, has been getting involved are also taking to the internet to try to work out what should to share baking tips. put the scones into the oven happen. this is the competition and markets authority. they have to bake for 15 minutes. received 21,000 markets authority. they have received 21 , 000 complaints markets authority. they have received 21,000 complaints about this. the vast majority of them, basil brushjoined for last week's session. 80%, have been about cancellations in previous weeks, olympic gold medallists kate and helen richardson walsh have and just how hard it seems to be to

dialled in to lend their expertise. get your money back. what are you that is the golden goal! entitled to? under an eu directive great britain have won the olympic gold medal! known as the package travel anything we can do to get regulation, you should be able to get yourfull regulation, you should be able to get your full refund within 14 days. you will get a refund for a package involved with the flyers, holiday within 14 days. if it is just a flight you should get your money back within seven days. lots of you expecting that that will whether it is european championships or helping out with mencap happen. clearly right now many or helping out with tunbridge wells, people are worried about their there's lots of great finances, maybe you are working a stuff going on. bit less, maybe you are not working at all. the money you have spent the thing about the flyers in this country is that it is for everybody. upfront on your holiday would be really useful to have back right so you can be in a wheelchair, you can be needing extra support now. so many of you telling us it is or different equipment not happening. and theyjust adapt it and find a way to make it work the rules seem pretty clear. why for you and i think that's great. aren't people getting their money and just everybody playing back? from the travel industry point together, that's what it is supposed to be, inclusive. of view they have said suddenly hockey, football, no matter what the activity, overnight lots of people asking for it's hoped other disability groups could follow the tunbridge wells lead. their money backjust doesn't work for their cash flow. avatar, the when this situation started trade body, saying that if everybody to unfold, it very quickly became got their money back it would cost the industry £4.5 billion, practically overnight. quite clearly quite clear that these sort of flyers' members

the industry doesn't have that and their families, many of them money. they have warned if they are are going to be even more isolated forced to pay that money back within than they usually experience. the deadline it because that's what so it sort of even more important that clubs stay in contact mike could force travel firms to go and somehow encourages them bust. lots of travel firm saying to stay connected. and i think we see the example they will pay people back. they will from tunbridge wells is fantastic. we are just trying to focus on what we can do. issue a credit note. some issuing vouchers for future travel. but for now. and we will all look quite clearly, so many of you forward to when we are telling us you simply want your together on the other side. and i think we will actually money back because money is tight. lots of you getting in touch about know each other better. understand each other better. this. thank you for your comments. and be that much closer. nick says he is old £1200 for a i think we will come out at the end of this whole period the better for it. cancelled flight to spain for a family holiday. not able to get that awful though it is, but as an entire group. and hopefully the youngsters back. then is self—employed. her holiday was in may. she was offered as individuals will come out of it a credit note. not a refund. the better, as a result of some of the things we are credit has to be used by the 30th of doing along the way. july. we spoke to the trade body on this programme a couple of weeks ago. they said the advice they were # ymca. that is surely the best any of us can hope for. offering to travellers and travel firms, was that they should offer a katherine downes, bbc news. the president of world athletics, refu nd firms, was that they should offer a refund but it may take a little lord coe, thinks that some sports longer because quite clearly there could emerge from the lockdown isa stronger, benefitting from the way longer because quite clearly there is a lot of paper work to do, a lot

they've had to deal with the crisis. of admin to sort out these refunds. he was one of the figures taking part in the 2.6 the offices are not full of the challenge this weekend. people you would normally be there to process these refunds. they say, he did 26 shuttle runs, so bear with us, it may take a bit as well as 26 sets of 26 press ups. he thinks sport can play a role longer. from the stories we are in helping the world move hearing from you that is not forward when lockdown happening. lots of firms trying to hang onto the cash and offering you restrictions are lifted. a voucherfor a hang onto the cash and offering you a voucher for a future travel rather than a refund. simon says, i have we do also have to accept, along with every other sector, been offered a credit note but no that sometimes you just have to take a back seat. refund. i can't even contact there are other things that customer service. it plays me an are just as important. but sport will bounce back. automated message on the line goes dead. they do not return my e—mails. and i honestly think that it will lead the way in a post—pandemic world. i know you guys have got a lot of will we all be doing these messages as well. the same things again? i doubt it. yes, we have. some people say they i hope we don't, actually. i think the smart organisations, have got refunds. andrew had a £450 whatever sector they're in, are figuring out how to be even deposit for a holiday to greece. smarter and more resilient refund it quickly, they didn't have to ask. also someone who works for a when they come out of this, and sport has to adapt and respond to those changes. travel agent says is unprecedented lord coe wasn't the only one taking as they say is, so much the process part in the 2.6 challenge, set up to raise money for charities after the london through. brian in suffolk saying a marathon was posponed. holiday planned to japan, spent

£9,000, been offered a credit note. he has now said from the 31st of the lack of a race yesterday, didn't stop thousands july he can potentially discuss of people doing their bit. getting a refund. he says the money the idea was simple — complete a challenge based around is urgently needed now. he can't the number 26 or 2.6. contact the company by phone or and it really caught on. # now it's time to free me from the chain e—mails. you can understand the # i've got to find my peace frustration. thank you. thank you. # is it too late # or could this love protect me from the pain? remember we were speaking to charlene nelson, a nurse. we were # i would battle for you # (even if i break in two) # freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out speaking to a few minutes ago. # look at me hopefully we can go back to her now. # get down, get down, i know that you went to hospital. get down, get down # look at me...# presumably we know you had recently how many have i done? i'm not counting. had a kidney transplant, you must that's 26, got there. have been very worried? yes, i was # look at me now really scared. my kidney transplant # cos all i ever wanted was love was in 2015. about five years now. i # higher, higher we nt was in 2015. about five years now. i went into hospital on the 12th of # all i ever wanted was love...# april and i was really scared. tell two, three, four... us what it was like when you were in hospital? what was the treatment like? presumably you are being it's a miss. treated based people, some of whom

haven't seen it yet. we are going to no idea that so many people would be speaking to the winners just wa nt to ta ke no idea that so many people would want to take part. the only people before nine. matt is talking to us did the 100 miles. over200 want to take part. the only people did the 100 miles. over 200 people did the 100 miles. over 200 people did the 100 miles. over 200 people about the weather. but also, i did the 100 miles. mike bushell was noticed at the weekend you have got also taking part in a hotel room, red kites in your garden?” eating tangerines. thank you, both. noticed at the weekend you have got red kites in your garden? i do indeed, yes. six of them yesterday the competition watchdog morning swooping down. i put some is going to be looking at refunds and cancellations in the travel industry this week, food out for my local libraries and following a big rise in complaints. five minutes later got these dark ben has the details. shadows cast across the kitchen and from the office in london. good morning ben. good morning. this looked out and six, no fewer than six red kites, swooping down and is something so many of you have been getting in touch about. about taking all of that food. amazing site. there have certainly been a how difficult it seems to be to get lot more of them in the past week your money back if you have booked a flight your money back if you have booked a with things quieter. it has been a flight or a hotel. and that's been week of quite weather across the uk. cancelled because of coronavirus. lots of sunshine. plenty of warmth. the week ahead though, as the and now, the regulator, the competition and markets authority, headline behind me suggests, it is is getting involved. going to be much cooler and it says it's received cloudier. for some of you a bit 21,000 complaints. 80% of them have been wetter too. for some it has been a about cancellations, and how hard it seems to be damn start. particularly in the

to get your money back. cases like sarah's. north of england. this line of rain turning lighter and patchy as it moves south. not a huge amount on it she booked a package holiday out of the start of the year. she spent as it moves its way towards the south and east. we still have plenty £6,000 on it and quite clearly wants of brightness in these guys on the her money back. she has found it has been anything but easy. far south—east corner. another reasonably one day to come. cooler i have been told different things by different people and that refunds further north, more sunshine. heavy are taking days to process. six to showers across scotland developing widely through the day. where they do occur they could be on the sharp eight weeks to be processed. the side. temperatures back down to a latest i was told was that refunds little bit below where we should be are not being processed. i have been for the time of the year. 19 to 21 fobbed off time and time again by different people. they say the same celsius still possible in the south—east corner where pollen levels remain high. if you have been thing about these unprecedented suffering with hay fever of late times. sadly not receiving a refund there is welcome news that pollen has left us in a precarious levels will have dropped with the position. my husband's business has cloud and cooler conditions. tonight a few showers fading across the dried up due to coronavirus. there northern part of the country. later is no income coming out of the this evening some wet weather house. the money would be needed to arriving in the channel islands. make sure we can survive, pay our that will spread its way into the mortgage and look after four very southern half of england and wales later. temperatures around nine to young children. that is sarah's case. if you are in 10 celsius taking us into tomorrow.

breath, and as you do... association this morning has said ..breathe out and over you go to make a full that it might well be a sensible body one side stretch. move for people to wear masks, but only if it doesn't impact on the supply of masks for health workers. that makes you feel so good! we mustn't reduce the availability of medical masks. what there is and then of course you repeat that to the other side. hold for about five to ten seconds. emerging evidence, and some nations have adopted, is the use of cloth well done. coverings, and these are known to and now for, well it's such a traditional stretch, we call this one the cat. reduce droplet infection. what we so down on all fours. think is that there was essential knees a little bit apart. workers who cannot solve isolated and who cannot maintain a social hands under the shoulders. take a nice deep breath. distancing, and who go out to work and mixing with others, clearly, it would seem logical to reduce any and as you breathe out, lift up your back. lift up your shoulders. rate of transmission, however small, pull in your tummy. given that the consequences are that people can die. that if of masks is that's it. hold it for five to ten seconds. just one thing that people will be looking for guidance from the prime and feel a really good release

minister, as he returns to work this of tensions around your neck. morning. he will check, at around look between your knees. 9am, the daily covid—19 response now relax, and as you breathe out stick your bottom out meeting, made up of senior cabinet and cheekily look out. ministers. as to whether we will see him at the daily news briefing later on in the day, i am told that this and we call this one the dog. stage that it is unlikely. jonathan, thank you for the update, good to talk to you. italy has outlined plans to ease restrictions that have been in place there for seven weeks. now, grab a cushion, from 4th may, people will be allowed or otherwise just knees together, 00:58:30,581 --> 2147483052:06:00,006 sit back under your heels 2147483052:06:00,006 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and literally walk your hands to visit their relatives in small numbers, and parks will re—open too. italy recorded 260 new virus—related deaths on sunday. that's the lowest daily figure since mid—march. spain has also recorded its lowest daily death toll in more than a month. it coincided with an easing of restrictions which means that children are outside for the first time in six weeks. spain has had one of europe's strictest lockdowns, but the government hopes to ease measures further to let everyone exercise outside. more positive news from new zealand,

where the prime minister says the virus is currently elimiated. jacinda ardern says the community transmission of covid—19 has been stopped. but she warned that people would have to be cautious to keep it that way, saying that it will be a while before life is back to normal. captain tom moore has been honoured with a special postmark, to acknowledge the £29 million he's raised for nhs charities. the war veteran, who turns 100, on thursday did it by walking laps of his garden. all post up until friday will be marked with the words "happy100th birthday captain thomas moore nhs fundraising hero." what a man. we will be celebrating his birthday later as well. it is six minutes past eight. behind us are the faces of just some of the people who have died from coronavirus.

the sons and daughters, mums and dads, the sisters, the brothers and grandparents. the first person died in the uk at the beginning of march. since then, 20,732 people have now died in our hospitals. thousands more have passed away in care homes and communities. every family we've spoken to has said the same thing — that they don't want their loved ones to be just a number. this morning we're hearing some of their stories. gertie was a mum and a grandmother, walter was a football—loving dad and husband, and caroline was an identical twin and mum to two boys. we are identical twins and just have an incredibly strong bond. it's really hard to put into words how hard it's been. i've realised that we've never been like proper individuals all our lives. we've always been two

halves of a whole. my other half is gone. he loved my mum so much so, it was all about my mum, you know? he'sjust a family man, loved his sport, he loved watching birmingham, he loved moaning about birmingham. just your average dad, i suppose, in a lot of ways, but he was my dad, you know? she could always find the good in everything. in 2013, she was diagnosed with dementia, but there are two real big parts of her that she didn't lose. one was her sense of humour and the other thing as well, she never lost her mothering instinct. her husband rang me and said caroline's poorly, we are suspecting covid—19.

our whole, entire family was in utter panic. terrified. obviously, she was young and fit and healthy so we were, she will be ok, type thing. and then she was poorly on the saturday night. and then unfortunately she collapsed early evening on the sunday. and didn't make it. i wanted to tell my dad that i loved him but i couldn't do that because i didn't want to upset him any more than he already was. so ijust said to him, you behave in that hospital, dad, and ijust waved and it took him his strength to just wave back and then they shut the doors. and that was the last time i saw my dad. that's what i wake up to every morning, you know? when we laid mum to rest on the 11th of may, it's just going to be the seven of us. and that's really quite difficult, because the waking process

is all about celebrating that person's life and sharing that, and i think that's going to be quite hard for everybody. i'm going to be looking after her children. i'm going to be sort of like their mummy as well, they've always called me mummy too, we've always been so close, and like i say we've always cared for each other‘s children a lot. so i reallyjust want to keep her memory alive because she adored them so much and we adored her so much. so i did struggle this saturday. i put football focus on, and it was doing reruns. it one of the posts was of a game from 2002, and that was the day that me and my dad, we went together, just the two of us, to london. and had the best day. i found myself looking at the crowd and trying to find my dad in the crowd, you know? just get one little look. so, tough days.

behind the numbers that we are hearing every single day, there is actually a real person that's passed. there is a family that's grieving. i still can't imagine that i've got to live my life without her, really. it's too much to think about, really. the poem that my husband wrote was actually the day that my mum was taken into hospital. for me, it displays the fears that we have all had. our greatest fear. can't go out, my life is impaired. stranger, hold my hand. i'm really scared. can't go to work, bills and family to feed. stranger, hold my hand, i can hardly breathe. it's only the old, the sick and the weak. stranger, hold my hand, i can hardly speak.

i didn't say my goodbyes, i thought i'd be ok. stranger, hold my hand. please, can you stay? frightened eyes behind the mask, one last question i would ask. now that i am on my own, please don't let me die alone. it really is heartbreaking, isn't it? thank you to all of those who felt safe enough to share the stories of their lives, the faces, the loved ones, the people who are, as they all say, more than just the numbers we tell you every day. let's remember some of the others as well. of those who have died, 103 people worked in health—related jobs — mostly in the nhs, according to bbc analysis. 65 of those 103 were from a black, asian or minority ethnic background. they were nurses, doctors and health—care assistants, cleaners, paramedics and porters.

care workers have died too, and other key workers including bus drivers and postal workers. among them wasjohn alagos, just 23 years old and a health—care assistant at watford general hospital. his friends describe him as "a very kind, funny and hardworking person." "he was a good son, who continually supported his mum, dad and two siblings." julie omar was a trauma and orthopaedics nurse at alexandra hospital in redditch. her daughter rhiannon said, "her commitment to what she did is inspiring, she was an amazing person all around." and dr fayez ayache was a gp from suffolk. his daughter layla said, "he gave his heart, his soul and ultimately his life to care for the people of our community." "i am proud to be the child of an nhs hero." josie ekoli, meanwhile, had worked as a nurse for 30 years, but first and foremost

she was a mum to five children. my mum was the most vibra nt person ever. her smile lit up a room. she was beautiful, she was god—fearing, and she was strong, she was really strong. iam... ..so proud of her, like i can't even explain it. i am too proud of her. and she is my role model. i feel proud to call her my mother. she died helping people and she died doing something that she enjoyed. josie ekoli was a mum of five and a nurse in the nhs for more than 30 years.

she risked her life for everyone else, really, like being in the nhs front line, fighting every day against the coronavirus. she risked her life for everyone else. josie told her children the protective clothing she had been given in her words "wasn't the best." she should have been wearing the face masks, covering the whole phase. she only had, like, the mask and gloves and apron. i just think yeah, things like that should have been dealt with better. because she was there, week in and week out she should have been given the appropriate equipment to deal with everything. i don't want to blame anyone, but i feel like if the people in charge did theirjob correctly, it wouldn't have been, it wouldn't have turned out the way it did. it could have been different. the last thing i want is for other families to go through what we are going through. because it is a tremendous loss. the hospital in harrogate where josie worked

said they were following national guidelines on the use of protective clothing and doing all they can to retain provision of ppe, leaving families like the ekolys devastated. she was a very positive woman and i feel like her passing away has given me the time to think things through now and continue being the person she wanted me to be. yeah, i miss her dearly. i love her more than anything in this world. we are trying our best to maintain the high standard she brought, because it's a tough act to follow up on. as her kids, we have an obligation to carry that on. some wonderful tributes there from

her children. we are going to talk now to two more people who are mourning a parent. allie's father—in—law, darrell, was one of the first to die from coronavirus in the uk. and liam's dad david died at the end of march. thank you so much forjoining us, let's give you first an opportunity to talk about your loved ones, tell us about your diet. morning. my dad was, in my opinion, the most amazing person, he was a role model to me, he was so caring, so selfless, and just a joke, he loves making people laugh, even if it meant you were laughing at him. allie, what about your father—in—law temperature, what sort of thousand was he? he had a really loud laugh, and he spent a lot of time working in his community, working at his church, saint michael's, and he did a lot of singing ina saint michael's, and he did a lot of

singing in a shower. sorry, my voice is going a bit, that was a really beautiful montage you put together. it is quite all right, don't worry about that, allie. i wanted to ask both of you this, do you think the fa ct both of you this, do you think the fact that we are still in the lockdown, and the restrictions have impacted on all of us, as that influenced the way you have been able to grieve as family members as well, allie, first of all? yeah, i mean, at one point we couldn't even have a funeral. there was one day when we couldn't bury or cremate, because the government was still making the rules up, i guess. we haven't been able to visit friends and family or talk about darrell. it is just... and family or talk about darrell. it isjust... is really hard. it is so strange, not to be able to have a funeral with all of his friends there ought to go to the church where he worshipped. it is very

strange. but in some respects the quietness of it is quite peaceful and gentle as well. liam, i know you are the youngest of five, aren't you? are the youngest of five, aren't you ? presumably very are the youngest of five, aren't you? presumably very similar issues for you, are you able to keep in contact with each other? how do you begin to grieve at this stage? contact with each other? how do you begin to grieve at this stage7m contact with each other? how do you begin to grieve at this stage? it is that lack of physical contact, being able to comfort each other, that is missed. we have been using video chat, ringing up every evening to talk, and just to have that little bit of normality, even just for an hour or 20 has helped. like allie said about the funeral, that was difficult, only ten of us were allowed to go, but there was also something quite personal about it in a strange way. but it is not the sendoff that these people deserve, andi sendoff that these people deserve, and i know a lot of people are planning on having a proper sendoff

once lockdown has ended. do you think he'll do that as a family, liam? most definitely, there are a lot of people that want to come along and celebrate dad's life. lot of people that want to come along and celebrate dad's lifelj lot of people that want to come along and celebrate dad's life. i am sure when you get together you will celebrate brilliant memories from the past, tell us about the christmas present that was special. yeah, so last christmas, we actually did the president in may last year, it was a flying experience, he has a lwa ys it was a flying experience, he has always loved planes, and a year before that we got in a flight simulator, so we thought we would at the entry and put him in a real plane, so we went up, and we flew around our hometown. he must have loved it. it was phenomenal, i was lucky enough to video it, and we do have that as a memory. we are watching that now, actually, it looks great. it was, it was a

perfect day, and while we were in the air, someone else was having a flight the air, someone else was having a flight experience in an old spitfire, so we could see that lying around, it was a day to remember. and it is really important, isn't it, this point about remembering the good times if you can? yeah, i mean, i was really close to my father—in—law, and he was more of... i think you was more about dad to and more of an adviser, and he loved music, and i work in the arts, and he was immensely supportive of my career he was immensely supportive of my careerand, you he was immensely supportive of my career and, you know, he was immensely supportive of my careerand, you know, sitting he was immensely supportive of my career and, you know, sitting here in my studio, he feels a very rich pa rt of in my studio, he feels a very rich part of it. i remember him sitting next to me when i was editing, and it isjust a huge loss, not to have elders in families who are there to advise and to reassure. as liam

said, we are going to have a celebration as well, hopefully later on in the summer, for all of darrell's friends and wider family as well. darrell wasn't the only person in my family to catch covered 19, i have also got a cousin on a ventilator. —— covid—19. 19, i have also got a cousin on a ventilator. -- covid-19. you mentioned his love of music, we are going to hear some of that in a moment, you know that we are going to play that, i don't want to upset you more than you are already. i know that you know we are going to play it. he was one of the first people to die in this country, what sort of impact has not had on you as a family? i think one newspaper called it being in the eye of a storm, and that is true, because the nhs didn't know how to handle

covid—19, it was only the 3rd of march when he was admitted to a&e, and we discovered that he had come into contact with a person had, i think some of their friends had had covid—19, it was all really surreal. he was whisked straightaway from us, andl he was whisked straightaway from us, and i mean we were kind of lucky in that he was in a room, and i did give us person up and allow us to visit him for ten minutes, a very strange way to say goodbye. we were wearing far more ppe than the nhs staff seem to have at the moment, to be honest, because it was still available. you... do... eight... it was incredibly stressful. and just starting to come down from it at the moment, really. i can imagine how ha rd moment, really. i can imagine how hard that is to go through your mind

and process. liam, on the issue of saying goodbye, which is i know what a lot of our viewers are thinking about, having to be in that position themselves, or having to go to that awful choice of whether they say goodbye or not, because you decided not to go, how difficult a decision was that to make together? not to go, how difficult a decision was that to make together7m not to go, how difficult a decision was that to make together? it was very difficult. dad was actually sedated at the time, and he has been for seven days, he would not have been aware we were there anyway, but one of his last words to me was, is your mum ok? he was more concerned about our well—being, so i know he would be very frustrated if we had put ourselves in that position. and also, we didn't want to use up ppe that could be used on people who needed it, really. it was very difficult. i am lucky enough that i work in the hospital that dad was in, so! work in the hospital that dad was in, so i have been fortunate enough

to speak to the people that were with him and take great comfort in that, and they do want to meet us as afamily that, and they do want to meet us as a family when this is over. travel thatis a family when this is over. travel that is a lovely thing to be able to hear, that he was not alone. allie, tell us more about darrell and his singing. well, darrell... he had a kind of a normal life, you know, he had a job working for a rubber company, but his passion was actually singing. he did lots of amateur dramatics, he sang in a numberof choirs, he amateur dramatics, he sang in a number of choirs, he sang in the shower! he... and i think... ithink we shower! he... and i think... ithink we need that, don't we? we live these ordinary lives doing ordinary jobs, but actually having a creative way to express ourselves is really important, and music was really important, and music was really important to him. he loved

performing, and he loved performing with a group as well. he belongs to the church choir, and also to the police choir, so people said, are you a policeman? to be honest, he would sing with any choir at all that had a space for him! a few weeks ago, before he died, before the lockdown, darrell was the only person who sang, and you know what it is light, when it is time to sing hymns, everyone mumbles or says, i don't really know this one, and darrell was belting it out! i don't think he believed in singing quietly. it was a real let go, joys experience. thank you so much to both of you for sharing such wonderful memories, darrell and liam. you say your cousin is on a ventilator, i hope you get better news about your cousin in the coming

days. thank you very much. with allie's permission, we are now going to play that song performed so beautifully by her father—in—law darrell. our thanks to all the families who've shared their stories with us on breakfast this morning. and to anyone else who's lost someone, # some day, when i'm all alone # when the world is sad # i will feel a glow just thinking of you # and the way you look tonight # oh, but you're lovely # when your cheeks so soft # and your smile so warm # there is nothing for me but to love you

# and the way you look tonight # just the way you look tonight. # good morning. even the darkest clouds are followed by sunshine eventually. it is going to be a case ofa eventually. it is going to be a case of a slightly different week compared to the last few days, more cloud around, and for some we will turn on the rain across england and wales, because we have low pressure moving onto the scene., instead of the high per share of recent weeks. each bit of low pressure will bring another spell of rain. some of the

dampers conditions this morning have been across parts of northern england, particularly east of the pennines, noticed his rain and drizzle is starting to turn a little bit lighter, patchy, that band is narrowing, not a huge amount of dampness around, is that spreads through lincolnshire, the east midlands, parts of east anglia. fairly cloudy and damp towards cornwall, brightness towards the south—east corner, eventually northern england sees the brightness return. heavy showers in the far north of england, and certainly across scotland well scattered showers, temperatures down on what we have been used to for the last week, although still some warmth in the south—east corner. pollen levels here will remain high, but for most, if you have been suffering from hay fever of light, a welcome drop on its way today. through this evening and overnight, plenty of cloud remain across southern areas, heavy rain returning from the south, this will be the first rain we have seen ina will be the first rain we have seen in a while across central and southern parts of england and wales. the northern half of the uk, clear

skies, isolated showers, a chance of frost in the far north of england and into scotland. the scene for tomorrow is one where we see low pressure in the south bringing cloud and rain, brighter conditions in the north, splitting the country and two. the rain most persistent across the midlands, southern england through the morning, into east wales, and as far north as the m62 corridor, we reckon, although in the midlands we will see the highest rainfall totals, as much as one inch of rain. for north of england, scotla nd of rain. for north of england, scotland and northern ireland, sunny spells, many staying dry, showers few and far between, but a cold out tomorrow, most notable across central and southern areas, a drop of 10 degrees compared to what we have been used to recently. tuesday night into wednesday, cloud and rain pushes away, but only brief respite, another weather system pushes in, most starting the day dry on wednesday, frost in parts of

scotland, north and east england, the best brightness in the morning, although lasting throughout the day across the north and west, with sunshine, but more cloud and rain spreading across the southern half of the country, and indeed some parts of northern ireland. ok, not as warm as it has been, but the temperatures of 10—15 salcio is closer to where they should be this time of year. —— celsius. thank you very much for that. a bit ofa thank you very much for that. a bit of a change on the way. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. the prime minister will be back in downing street this morning to chair the regular coronavirus cabinet meeting. it's borisjohnson's first day back at work after recovering from covid—19, and our political editor laura kuenssberg says he might speak publically as early as this morning. one of his first tasks is decide when and how to ease the lockdown. italy has outlined plans to ease restrictions that have been in place there for seven weeks. from 4th may, people will be

allowed to visit their relatives in small numbers, and parks will re—open too. italy recorded 260 new virus—related deaths on sunday, that's the lowest daily figure since mid—march. spain has also recorded its lowest daily death toll in more than a month. it coincided with an easing of restrictions which means that children are outside for the first time in six weeks. spain has had one of europe's strictest lockdowns, but the government hopes to ease measures further to let everyone exercise outside. so here we are, the start of week six of lockdown. 35 days in which life as we know it has changed completely. from social distancing to daily exercise, supermarket queues to zoom calls, everyone has had to adapt to life in lockdown. here's dan johnson. it's tested our strength... i must give the british people a very simple instruction — you must stay at home.

our endurance... this advice is not a request. it is an instruction. and our resolve... we will be with our friends again, we will be with our families again, we will meet again. in leicestershire, tony's adapted. he is a martial arts sensei, mastering new skills and new technology at 71. dad, try holding it. maybe if you hold it... i'm bit of an old fuddy duddy when it comes to this. practical stuff i can do. things like this... i looked totally out of it! from tony's class, now taken online, you get a sense of the lives upended. i hate it. everything that you love is suddenly taken away. i am missing my friends. working and schoolwork and being stuck in the house is difficult. for tony's daughter it means getting

used to home—working. it is almost, you know, business as usual, really, and i think there will be an adjustment period having to go back to the world as it once was, so that's also going to be an adjustment for me, i think, going back to normality. work and play, friendships and family have all been shaken up. the crisis has recast ben and his dad luke as pupil and teacher. it's has been a lot to learn, but the good thing about it is it has brought us closer together in terms of being more involved with his schoolwork. and there are some other positives. i don't have to be late for school if i am ever late for school... we will edit that bit out... but ellie and brother calen have missed old routines. learning at school is a better environment for it instead of sitting at a computer all day. making new connections has helped. we've contacted our grandparents

over facetime which was new for them. they haven't used that technology before. and there's new—found focus to our thanks and praise. a reevaluation of what we treasure. natasha advises charities. it's that sense of belonging, seeing my friends, friendly faces kind of keeps me going, and i'd just add that the martial arts bit, it helps you to keep mentally fit and it gives you that fighting spirit. so, i'm a fighter and i'm going to fight this. but the challenges keep coming. i had to cut his hair for the first time yesterday. yeah! he was very patient with me and understanding. it turned out well! and the end still isn't in sight. just keep yourself busy. time will go quick. patience, discipline, wisdom and grit, skills we all need for these strange, dark days. danjohnson, bbc news, at home.

we are all learning new things. let's go to number 10 downing street now. our political correspondent is jonathan blake. jonathan, what are we expecting today? we are hearing that we might hear from the prime minister later today. just that, when the prime minister returns to work after several weeks, having been diagnosed with coronavirus, as we know, having spent time in hospital in intensive ca re spent time in hospital in intensive care and recovering in chequers, he is back at number ten. he arrived at around 7pm last night, will be back at his desk and back at work as of this morning. we are expecting to hear from the this morning. we are expecting to hearfrom the prime minister at this morning. we are expecting to hear from the prime minister at some point today. we are told its unlikely he will be hosting the downing street daily news briefing later on in the day. but i suppose it is expected that the prime minister would want to mark his return to work and say something, at least, in public, about maybe his

experience while taking time off and recovering from coronavirus and about what his priorities are on his return to work. there are, of course, several challenges ahead for the government. and for him, personally. most notably, the pressure the prime minister is under to say more about how and when the uk will find its way out of the lockdown we are currently experiencing. jonathan, thank you very much for that and rest assured, if you are watching at home, as and when the prime minister, are you there? hello! as and when, he is not about to speak as far as we know, as and when he does speak you will receive a bbc news alerts on your phone, and you will see it on bbc one, and the bbc news channel so do not worry. we finish at 9am and the victoria derbyshire programme rolls on, you will not miss anything. i will wait for the alert on my phone. same here. it's 8:37am. in the last few minutes, sally has some news,

you have breaking news?” few minutes, sally has some news, you have breaking news? i have. if you have breaking news? i have. if you have breaking news? i have. if you have tickets for the british grand prix at silverstone, check your e—mails. in the last few minutes, everybody who has those tickets has been sent an e—mail, official, this is what they say about the british grand prix. if it's going to go ahead, due to happen on the 19th ofjuly, if it goes ahead it will go ahead behind closed doors, silverstone has written to all ticket holders to tell them it is unable to stage this year ‘s british grand prix in front of fans. of course it's been known for quite a while the first race at the start of the new truncated season will be closed events. we are expecting an announcement this morning on the rest of the season with the french grand prix almost certainly postponed. that is currently set for the 28th ofjune. elsewhere at

arsenal players will be allowed back at their training ground from today but strict social distancing will be in place. and italy's top division will be back in individual training next monday, and team training two weeks later, after the prime minister announced the first steps in lifting the country's lockdown. the hope is that matches could resume at the end of the month but that will depend on how this tentative return goes. we could see top flight matches in germany as soon as the 9th of may, if everything goes to plan there. and spain plan to start antibody tests for players next week. the world—wide players' union have concerns, though — what are they worried about? that's right. fifpro is the organisation that represents footballers around the world and they say there's not only a scientific question but also a moral issue involved in the resumption of the game. they ask whether it would be sending

the right message to society, and encouraging a healthy return to normal life, or would they be signalling that football has different rules. i'm just separate from the rest of society. i think they are concerned about what type of message that sends and the flip side is everybody is missing live sport and the authorities are desperate to get something going. if you could watch a match on the television at home, in whatever type of circumstances it is played, it would certainly be a morale boost at the moment. sadly, thank you, interesting to see how that pans out, the return to training. sally mentioned this earlier. there was no london marathon yesterday — it's been postponed until october. i should have been running it. but the lack of a race, didn't stop thousands of people doing their bit to raise

money for charity. and that is a huge amount of it. they did it by completing the 2.6 challenge, which was set up as an alternative to the marathon. the idea was simple, complete a challenge based around the number 26 or 2.6 and it really caught on, let's have a look. music: stupid love by lady gaga. # now it's time to free me from the chain. # i've got to find that peace. # is it too late or could this love protect me from the pain? # i would battle for you. # even if i break in two. # freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out. # look at me. # get down, get down, get down...# how many have i done? i'm not counting. that's 26. stop there. # look at me now. # because all i ever wanted was love. # yeah, yeah, yeah.

# all i ever wanted was love. one, two, three, four. 24, 25, 26. boom! it's a miss! # i want your stupid love.# laughter. people were having really good fun with it yesterday, really great idea. we're joined now by edel harris, who's the chief executive of the royal mencap society — and jaem wright from the sue ryder charity. good morning to you both and thank you forjoining us. the london marathon is at the heart of so much fundraising, how much of our loss was this? this was the 40th anniversary of the london marathon, mencap was fortunate to be chosen as

the official charity partner. although of course we totally understand why the decision had to be taken to postpone the marathon, we we re be taken to postpone the marathon, we were hugely disappointed, but no more so than our squad of people with a learning disability who were running the marathon for the first time. for us, it wasn'tjust about fundraising, it was also about putting a learning disability on the map and showing what people with a learning disability can do. and for you, we have heard from lots of charities over the last three weeks, the challenges the pandemic has produced for many. yes, for us, we approached it on two microphones, the healthcare approached it on two microphones, the healthca re team approached it on two microphones, the healthcare team is providing end of life care to people, we have battled across networks and across the community we have been trying to support our colleagues. and on the other hand, we've seen a massive drop in incomes, 450 shops around

the country, they closed around five weeks ago. events, as you been talking about, things like the marathon, the big ones, should have been happening this weekend. how worried are you that it's going to affect the work that you do, essentially? we are quite concerned. we've seen an incredible response from our supporters. it's been brilliant to show not just to boost our income but also to showjust how important to the public that end—of—life care really is and we really need that to continue, we have uncertain months ahead. internally and externally, people are worried about what will happen so we are worried about what will happen so we need that support to continue. when you first heard about the 2.6 challenge, did you ever think it would grow to what we saw over the

weekend? it was a joyous day yesterday. in amongst all the sadness we are providing round—the—clock care to over 5000 people with a learning disability. and we have a social care workforce that are putting themselves in harms way and it's just been such a sad and anxious time. and so, when somebody came up with that idea, for just one day, i think we were all able to embrace some joy and we had such great ideas coming forward, the tea m such great ideas coming forward, the team mencap runners did a bat on race, there is a lovely film on youtube. i myself did a twitter marathon, it wasn't very strenuous but i raised over 3000 pounds by getting chief executive officers to donate. giving them a call and a shout out on twitter. we had someone needing 26 chocolate fingers, people climbing 26 flights of stairs, a little girl without learning disability bouncing 26 times on her trampoline. one of our great

supporters used his save and allocated our to run around cardiff dressed as a star. it was just a heartwarming day. people are so kind. they know charities are on the front line, we have additional costs, really huge additional costs and the sector is supposed to suffer about a 4 billion loss in income because of coronavirus. i want to say thank you to everyone, notjust those who supported mencap yesterday but who supported any charity, we so appreciate your help. there is a sense, you get from that and the their big night in, people who joined in my bike ride, people are feeling generous, if they can be and obviously they have difficulties but they want to feel like they can help in some way. yes. i think you're absolutely right. we have seen a great coming together, haven't we come across the country, as i said, amongst all the sadness. we have

sadly lost people to coronavirus and every day, you know, we are dealing with some really hard stuff, access to personal protective equipment and decisions about whether to furlough staff and tough, emotional and difficult things. and at the same time, we are seeing such generosity and so many people who are willing to support, notjust mencap but all the other wonderful charities in the uk. who are really out there at the moment, doing amazing things in the community. both with volunteers and with paid staff and as i say, i don't think we can thank people enough, notjust don't think we can thank people enough, not just for their monetary donations but just enough, not just for their monetary donations butjust for enough, not just for their monetary donations but just for supporting us. thanking us. sending our collea g u es us. thanking us. sending our colleagues little messages, clapping on the balconies and doorsteps on a thursday night. it all really means a lot. it makes a big difference, james, were you inspired by what you saw yesterday? absolutely, it's difficult not to be. london marathon

isa difficult not to be. london marathon is a favourite day of the year for fundraisers around the country. certainly in my family. and it's a real carnival day for the capital. it's a real shame that we missed out on that but yesterday, there was a community spirit going, we had people on treadmills, on their driveway, people roaming on their driveways in rowing machines, i took my girls for2.6 driveways in rowing machines, i took my girls for 2.6 laps up of the park it wasn't too strenuous but they we re it wasn't too strenuous but they were doing their bit. there was a sense of community that we would have got from the london marathon, so lovely to see. thank you both. we haven't seen some of the challenges. it's worth looking around, there we re it's worth looking around, there were some really fun things. thank you. i like the idea chocolate fingers! that piqued my interest. shall we take you to downing street? we were speaking tojonathan blake about potentially hearing from the prime minister. the podium has

appeared outside the famous black doors. maybe we will be hearing from the prime minister borisjohnson, his first day back at number ten. maybe sooner than expected ? his first day back at number ten. maybe sooner than expected? keep watching. of course, you will hear it on the bbc news channel, bbc one, all across the bbc, in the last few minutes, the scene has changed, hasn't it, slightly. we've removed jonathan and the podium has come out? ——!. we know the prime minister is expected to speak today. we are not quite sure at what time but we'll keep you up—to—date. if it happens between now and when we finish we will shoot straight across. we. anything we are doing. we. all things and go there to hear what the prime minister potentially has to say. but in the meantime, spoiler alert. very important. there was a thrilling finale to race across the world on bbc two last night. i know millions of people are watching it at the moment so you might not have seen it. just turn

away from the television for about five minutes. this is the show where five british couples set off from mexico city destined for ushuaia in southern argentina. they weren't allowed to fly, and only had the equivalent of an airfare to spend. it isa it is a long way! the final three couples had spent 52 days racing 25,000 kilometres across latin america and it all came down to a final sprint to the finish line, and a £20,000 prize. go on! come on. she screams. breathing heavily. this is not it. this is it, this is it. come on. please believe me. come on! don't give up. there it is. just here. breathing heavily. oh, my god. come on. are you ready?

yes! put my name in there. literallyjust got there. she sobs. well done, boys. beaten fair and square. are you 0k? are you 0k. she sobs. one of the hardest things i've done in my life. look around you. look at this. this is what it's all been for. what a finish! i bet, some of you watching, you didn't manage not to cry! we're joined now by the winners emon and jamiul choudhury who won by just 20 seconds. congratulations, both of you. congratulations, both of you. congratulations, what was that

moment like? absolutely incredible. the adrenaline of climbing that mountain. to beat our competitors, chen and rob, such a dramatic end to the series. you were running up that mountain. did you pass them? you knew what was going on, did you? did you feel bad? we did feel bad. it wasn't a very nice thing for us to do. i remember saying to my uncle, i am feeling hurt, that's not something we wanted to do. we love them, all the contestants, it was heartbreaking to do that. but we got to the end, that was the main thing. one of the great things about the programme, i remember this one of the great things about the programme, i rememberthis from one of the great things about the programme, i remember this from the first series, the relationship between not only yourselves but all the couples taking part. your relationship is very different to jen and rob who are husband and wife. tell us about how you refound

each other and came to be in the programme? with regards to the trip, i'd spenta programme? with regards to the trip, i'd spent a single day with him and to spend 54 days consecutively with him, it was tricky! we learned a lot about each other. and our relationship grew on week one, right until week eight. it was a combination, everything, the stresses of the races. it was a test on everything, on every front. real test for you both. tell us about your highlights, there must have been a lot. there were loads. i think one of the biggest highlights for us both, probably rainbow mountain in peru. gruelling experience. hard. but the sense of

accomplishment that we got from doing it, wasjust amazing. ithink it was a big highlight of the trip. looks amazing, those pictures, we arejust seeing them. looks amazing, those pictures, we are just seeing them. among some of the experiences you had on the trip, the experiences you had on the trip, the thing that affected you most was the thing that affected you most was the sight of some children you saw in sao paulo. let's look at this, we will hear from you afterwards. i thought i'd give what i can to those kids. it's killing me inside. have i got anything else? if i wasn't on the rise, this was my money, i would give it all. and then i would go to the closest bank. take as much out as i could. that must be worth a bob or two? are you ready? seeing the whole family.” worth a bob or two? are you ready? seeing the whole family. ijust

ijust cannot, i just cannot, for the ijust cannot, for the life of me, understand. cards always make people happy. he handled it better than i did, he can keep himself together. you know what's really clear watching that, watching that clip, watching that, watching that clip, watching both of you, you were really affected about those children and you have some news, haven't you? who wants to tell me? obviously we wa nt la st who wants to tell me? obviously we want last night, we decided to donate at least half of the money to help the kids of sao paulo. and brazil. itjust feels help the kids of sao paulo. and brazil. it just feels like the right thing to do. the trip itself, it was an amazing experience. you cannot put a figure on the experience that we put a figure on the experience that we had. we believe the money will go such a long way to help so many

people. in the areas that we visited. that will be life changing money for them. it sounds like it's been a life changing trip for you particularly? meeting with those kids in sao paulo? yes, yes, it was a life changing experience. like my uncle said, i don't think there a price that can be put on everything that we experienced. i it shows you there's a bigger world out there. it puts into perspective how minuscule we are puts into perspective how minuscule we are in a wider world. listen, absolute pleasure to speak to both of you. very many congratulations on doing that. i know you've not been able to tell your friends and family so that must have been quite a secret to keep. hopefully you will be reunited soon. thank you both very much. i think they finished filming in november, long time to keep a secret. the other thing, for so many of us watching at home it's been really wonderful escapism, to been really wonderful escapism, to be able to see. we can't go on holiday, we can watch them.

the whole series is available to catch up on iplayer now — and there'll be a new episode called race across the world: revealed which reunited this year's contestants next sunday at 8pm on bbc two. we know that the prime ministers backin we know that the prime ministers back in downing street, he arrived last night. we can see the scene live there this morning, the podium has been put there. they've been checking shots and things like that. we note the prime minister is expected to speak today. we were speaking to our corresponding jonathan blake today, he was referencing dominic raab who spoke yesterday on the andrew marr show, potentially we might hear from the prime minister sometime this week but it looks as though it might be a little bit earlier than expected. no confirmation yet. we are hoping to hear from the confirmation yet. we are hoping to hearfrom the prime minister at confirmation yet. we are hoping to hear from the prime minister at some stage this morning. of course, we note the prime minister himself has suffered from coronavirus, was in hospital, and came out two weeks ago

yesterday, i think it was. this is very important, he will be back in charge, as it were, we know he's taking the coronavirus meeting today. and so many things on the agenda, not least of which, as we entered the sixth week of lockdown today, how things might be eased in the future. we spoke to the health minister earlier. what he was referencing is that when you were asking him questions it's a case of waiting for the prime minister to come back in the big question, i suppose, this week, is potentially that time frame for the easing of restrictions that we are all currently living under so it will be fascinating to hear what the prime minister has to say about that. what you need today, keep watching the bbc, look at your news app, as soon as the prime minister starts to talk it will be on bbc one or the bbc news channel. that's it from us, we'll be back at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.

i get the feeling we might be speaking about what is about to happen. yes. goodbye for now.
