his breathing was really, really bad. he said that he knew that he had to be very brave. he said, i know i need to be brave, catherine. he asked me to be strong, and to look after my sisters. later i got a call to say we could go and see him through a, just a pane of glass, and that was the last time that myself and my sisters saw my dad. we had about 60 seconds of waving to him and saying that we loved him, but through a pane of glass, and it was incredibly distressing. it is an image that i know will stay with me for the rest of my life. across this land, thousands of families share this pain, and more will, sadly, face it. in great britain, on the day douglas mayne passed away, 777 others died of coronavirus.

on the day ken sumner passed away, the virus also killed 913 other people. lucy manning — bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. good evening to you. it has been so dry this april that it's time we had a decent spell of rain. make sure well appreciated. pollen levels will come down again, and you probably won't have to water your garden as much. this is the satellite picture. the spell of rain heading our way tomorrow is coming from the south. the rain clouds are moving across the bay of biscay and france, just about entering the channel now, and this evening it will progressively

turn cloudy, and then overnight, wetter across southern counties. it is what we would describe as a slow—moving area of rain, so that means once it arrives it will probably be raining on top of you for a considerable amount of time, so for a considerable amount of time, so for some of the towns and cities in the south, it may actually be wet through most of the morning, afternoon and possibly even into the evening. a decent spell of rain, could be around 20, 25 millimetres in some places. notice that by the middle of the afternoon, the rain stops just south of yorkshire, so that means most of the day in the north there will be sunshine, around 13 celsius for example in glasgow. tuesday evening, that weather front moves away, and the next one moves m, moves away, and the next one moves in, quitea moves away, and the next one moves in, quite a substantial area of wet weather, but the difference with this low pressure and its weather front is that it will move more swiftly, so it won't bring as much rainfall. for example, in birmingham, we could see a spell of rain and then that will be followed

by some sunshine and showers. temperatures probably typically around 13 or 1a celsius on wednesday. this unsettled weather will continue until the weekend. that's it from me. back to you, george. a reminder of our top story: borisjohnson is back at number ten, and warns that the country is facing a moment of maximum risk. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me. and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

hello there and thank you for joining us. top—flight football clu bs joining us. top—flight football clubs will meet later this week his plans to resume the premier league season plans to resume the premier league season gather pace. it could mean a potential date of june the season gather pace. it could mean a potential date ofjune the 8th to begin games again. opening their training grounds under strict coronavirus measures. dan rowen jones me now. —— joins me.

coronavirus measures. dan rowen jones me now. —— joins melj coronavirus measures. dan rowen jones me now. -- joins me. i think first and foremost, the premier league and the rest of football will need approval from government and that really hinges on a number of things, more extensive testing but i think also relaxation of the social distancing rules were sitting in place now for some weeks. there is no doubt that government ministers are keen to help football returned as soon as possible and i think for two reasons. firstly, recognising the importance is an industry and the importance is an industry and the level to which the broadcasting is in the sport and trickles down to the premier league but i think second, they believe to ask is a morale booster the people after several weeks of lockdown if some kind of football can be played behind closed doors, which is available of course on television. what does that mean? a number of

questions that have to be answered around where exactly matches will ta ke around where exactly matches will take place. with a b in quarantine, sealed of venues, that seems to be the direction of travel but whereabouts of the b. there'll be two areas of concern, help medical and a small guarantee of the safety and a small guarantee of the safety and health of the stick in part, not just players but also the personnel that would be a match even behind closed doors, 700 people there with that involve heat scanners, much more testing and various other hijinks as well. but i think there is more of a moral question. how would look if professional footballs are playing while people are still in lockdown, the best way say it does require some progress to be made elsewhere, this test that has to made and clearly whether or not he will be concerned if testing for example was diverted

towards sport and football and particular, if not enough people haveitin particular, if not enough people have it in the general public for the front of health services and if, for example, sport resumed in their titles awarded, with that encourage fa ns to titles awarded, with that encourage fans to congregate outside stadiums and that would mean emergency services, policing being diverted which could also be a case of if a player was injured at a sporting fixture. the chief executive was asked about this earlier on and here's what he had to say. asked about this earlier on and here's what he had to saylj asked about this earlier on and here's what he had to say. i feel uncomfortable with the stage even talking about football as a narrative because there are people dying every day in their stresses on the nhs and that has to be a priority. i want to resume football, absolutely, for the government says it is absolutely fine for players and all the support staff to follow foot ball and all the support staff to follow football to return and i'm100% behind that. looking to get back on track but what about other sports, how close are they to returning?

track but what about other sports, how close are they to returning ?m depends on the sport, i think some like racing have already published some of their ideas about how they could return and also maybe once proceed you could see back sooner rather than later, but i think for others, it looks more problematic. there are two processes that are linked they are currently going on. a poor processes, the consultation across all of the olympics and paralympics in professional sports which is feeding into a smaller working group of representatives and that means for the first time last thursday that it was shared by the ceo of uk sport and they are looking at different ways to which they can advise the sport and how they can get their athletes back training in the first instance as opposed to actually competing. there was a smaller number of professional sports, football, rugby, cricket and racing who are being asked to send their senior medical officials to

another meeting which would meet for the first time later this week, which will be perhaps a bit more advanced, looking at how exactly the competition can be resumed in seasons actually get back under way. as you said, we have seen the likes of arsenal in less time opening their training faces today for players to get back and try to fit in individually, so that is already in football but looking at the next stage, resuming scenes as you say, ultimately, these plants could be discussed in training centres can be opened up but it all depends ultimately on much more testing and progress being made in government approval and that is not guaranteed at this point. thank you very much indeed. our sports editor there. at this point. thank you very much indeed. oursports editorthere. one of the biggest events in the british sports in canada but there'll be no fa ns sports in canada but there'll be no fans for the british grand prix this sunday. organisers stitching the

race under normal conditions just wasn't possible and there is a chance that there may not be resettled even behind closed doors. if any to protect the health of eve ryo ne if any to protect the health of everyone involved, that is a disappointment for driver lando noris. this'll feel disquiet and i don't know, you get so much atmosphere with all the fans there, especially being the home race and there are so many fans which have flecks of my name on with lewis or george and did not give the opportunity to, as it is such a good turn out every year, the amount of people to get to go, and also yeah, i think it'sjust people to get to go, and also yeah, i think it's just going to be awkward and a bit weird but yes, sadly that is the way it has to go. despite the lack of crowds, formula 1 his other sports that could potentially survive in an isolated world is a chief reporter explains. only football or rugby or any other

tea m only football or rugby or any other team sport, the competitors and formula 1 are inherently insulated from each other because they're in their cars and there's an awful lot of isolation the formula 1 teams can do within themselves in terms of limiting the number of staff and making people work away from the circuit and so things are heading in that direction and i do not think they would've made the statements today unless they have some degree of relative certainty in the fairly uncertain situation that it was going to work out. right up of a few other sports stories with the cricket season suspended until august the 1st ofjuly, structure have confirmed they have cancelled the contracts of their three overseas players by mutual consent. in all signed banned from all cricket for three yea rs banned from all cricket for three years forfailing to banned from all cricket for three years for failing to report to

unrelated corrupt approaches. the cricket ball is appealed to players to stay away from the menace of corruption and immediately inform the authorities as soon as they are approached and dominic teams since he does not agree with the call for top players to be financially supporting lauren ranked professionals during the lockdown —— lower rank. no one is going to starve and there are many players that do not put the sport above anything else and do not live in a professional manner. finally this evening, the reporter has been speaking to three of the top sports women about the challenges of the lockdown. among various topics, they have been talking about training alone and getting their heads on competition and tournament postponements joining competition and tournament postponementsjoining heather knight, junior hockey player and jill scott. heavy funding the positives and enjoy the lack of structure and bit of freedom then use to? definitely a bit more harm

time and that's a bit of a novelty when you're a cricketer because the first three weeks of absolute bliss of being at home and having the best time to put your feet up and just be on your sofa, really. a bit of a treadmill international sport and you get to kind of, do it you want to do moving forward and try to use that time. the fact that the olympics are getting closer and closer this getting more daunting and daunting and i do not think we are ready, they would've been ready at the time but for this stuff come now, it tested the elect, breathe, i don't think i realised how much i was holding my breath in attendance i was fighting vincent to be a chance to sit back and look at it and a half enjoyed this, not being told what to do and i kinda like it. and i needed this time away from everyone and to sit back and realise

how much i missed it and i want to be back. when you just go from season, club season to turn them into club season, i don't think you realise how much pressure you are under and after three games in a week, i feel like this under and after three games in a week, ifeel like this is been a weight lifted off my shoulders. so i never thought that's stress mentally, but i feel how kind of stress they have been. i have a bit ofa stress they have been. i have a bit of a glow of my facebook preprocessed as the sun. i can totally relate to that the it's nice that i can learn to love it again and just have a kick about for football, doing tricks, flicks and clip schedule is very tactical and you forget the reason why we fell in love with the sport in the first place i think that's been nice. and thatis place i think that's been nice. and that is all the sport for months

from now and get those on the bbc website. and he reminded the can watch a special programme now on the iplayer. that is offer me for and we will see you soon. let us just catch up with where we are then with today's development, let us just catch up with where we are then with today's more than three weeks after he was admitted to hospital, borisjohnson is back at number ten. but it fell to the health secretary, matt hancock, to lead the daily press briefing from downing street. here's a reminder of the main points. a new ‘life assurance scheme' for nhs and front line workers was announced, which will see the family of staff who die from coronavirus awarded

a sixty thousand pound payment from the government. the health secretary also said that as the number of people being admitted to hopsital continues to fall, the nhs will start to restore other key services such as cancer care — but that a timeline will be determined locally, not and as talk continues of easing the lockdown, england's chief medical officer confirmed that the uk—wide rate of transmission is still below zero, and could now even be as low as 0.5. this is how the health secretary announced the life assurance scheme for the bereaved families of nhs staff. we must never lose sight of the human cost of coronavirus and the pain in the grief that it causes. and each death serves as a reminder that we must stand firm in our resolve. sadly, these deaths figures include 82 nhs colleagues and 16

collea g u es include 82 nhs colleagues and 16 colleagues who work in social care. they dedicated their lives to caring for others and i feel a they dedicated their lives to caring for others and ifeel a deep personal sense of duty that we must ca re personal sense of duty that we must care for there. today i announce that our government is setting up a life insurance scheme for front line collects a stub family of staff who died from coronavirus in the front line work, will receive a £60,000 payment. of course, nothing replaces the loss of a loved one, but we want to do everything that we can to support families who are dealing with this grief it is a government, we are looking closely at other professions that work on the front line against coronavirus who also do not have access to such schemes to see where this may be required. this

crisis has shown this country values so much our health and social care workers and i want to pay tribute to the perseverance of the british public who, even this warm spring weekend, and the vast majority, did the right thing and stayed at home to protect the nhs. let's speak now to the shadow business minister lucy powell. thank you forjoining us and get to have you with us. can we start with the insurance scheme for the nhs and other front line workers and how effective do you think that's going to be. it's a welcome gesture from the government and my husband is in any doctor and i think i note that it will give them that recognition to families but of course, no amount

of money can replace a loved one and it really is that recognition that the government wants to give to those families. but i think but we need to make sure of is well, and recognising that is that we are co nsta ntly recognising that is that we are constantly at the front of the cutting edge of keeping health care and care workers safe at work and we have to keep that at the front of our minds as well because one death is the death to many, let alone the dozens that we have seen so far. bells one of today's announcements andi bells one of today's announcements and i want to put that to you straightaway because clearly it affects a lot of people sadly, we've lost people and loved ones. so that, that set of measures announced today, also included business measures and i wanted to ask you about the new scheme that is coming in which would be to offer a much

more rapid process of helping firms of financially. what is your response to that and again, the fact that it response to that and again, the fact thatitis response to that and again, the fact that it is been offered at this stage in the crisis, how effective do you think there might be? we very much welcome this move today but the bounce back loans which offer 100% government—backed guarantees to loa ns government—backed guarantees to loans of to a £50,000 because we have been calling now for a couple of weeks for loans to small businesses to be 100% previously up until today and they were just going to be 80% guaranteed it might sound a small point but what is meant is that banks are having to apply all the usual commercial terms to the 20% of these loans and so small businesses especially have found it incredibly difficult to access this desperately needed money for their

cash flow. but it still leaves questions around what this means for other businesses that want more than £50,000, this to make small businesses the may want more than £50,000 and also for many companies, loa ns a re £50,000 and also for many companies, loans are the answer. the cash flow issues and there's lots of uncertainty around about when their businesses will be able to reopen they're not in a position to take a loan, so they really need some extra support for the loan scheme. staying with you, the picture for us for a second but we can hear you very clearly. your carry—on if you're ok with that. have we lost lucy now? lucy, are you still there? she is gone. i'm really sorry about that. if you get lucy back then will be talking to her again in a few minutes' time but our apology for the glitch there that interrupted our conversation with labour‘s lucy.

the system at tested over the weekend do a search and demand fixed on the scheme, they also give an update on the supply of ppe, personal protective equipment to front line medical staff and this what he had to say. as of today we have provided more than 56 million pieces of ppe tour nhs into local authorities for distribution to all social care settings in wells. we provided that from her central stores we provided that to thousands of places for the nhs operates across well. ppe the hospitals and primary care staff to all

pharmacies, emergency dental clinics, optometrists and gp surgeries. and as for social care is concerned, we're making deliveries twice a week to local authorities stores for their are on the way to distribution to social care settings and ppe for care homes in wales is being provided free of charge. through the welsh government. also a little earlier nicola sturgeon gave the latest figures on the number of cases and deaths in scotland at the daily press briefing in edinburgh. ican i can confirm that there has been 10,521 positive cases confirmed which is the increase of 119 seven from yesterday and a total of 1007

or 62 patients are currently in hospital with other confirmed her suspected covid—19 cases. a total of 134 people last night were in intensive care and it was confirmed or suspected to covid—19 and that is an increase of one since yesterday. at this point, despite the occasional fluctuations, overall, these statistics for hospitals in intensive care admissions still give us cause intensive care admissions still give us cause for cautious optimism. i am also able to confirm today that the 5th of march, a total of 2380 patients who tested positive for the virus have not been able to leave hospital and i wish them well. i am much sadder note, i may have to report that in the last 24 hours

many more deaths have been confirmed after having a test of the virus bring the number of deaths in scotla nd bring the number of deaths in scotland to 1262. let's speak now to the shadow business minister lucy powell. thank you very much. we were talking about the new scheme that is been announced today and i was just wondering because of the context of people in business wanting the lockdown to come to an end as soon as possible, as soon as is reasonable, do you think that the signals from government, the message from government is clear enough about the way out of the lockdown eventually? no, it is not been which is why we been calling for the government to be more transparent about that to take the public, take

business, take workers in the trade unions with them on the journey in that conversation because there are trade—offs here as we heard today in the news conference and there are many different scenarios that could keep that number in that infection rate number below one and ultimately will be for the government to decide which of the scenarios will be deployed and so there does need to be an open conversation about that andi be an open conversation about that and i think that's one of the reasons why businesses are struggling so much the moment because they could take a loan out this week that they think could see them through to two months or a bar or restaurant or pub that may be closed for many more months they just do not know that. it is quite ha rd just do not know that. it is quite hard for people to play a certainty for schools and teachers and how they expected to manage over the expected to manage. so it is important for the government now to, as the prime minister study he would this morning, to bring the country,

bring opposition parties, businesses and everybody else into this conversation so that we may understand the trade—off and so we may support them when they are brought in. you made several points there about the number of people who've got a special vested interest in terms of business and etc and we've been talking about schools is what today. when people talk about a gradual or a partial relaxation of the lockdown, lots of our viewers are telling us that they do not understand really what that means. what does that entail? what is your understanding of how the lockdown might be gradually loosened? understanding of how the lockdown might be gradually loosened ?|j understanding of how the lockdown might be gradually loosened? i think thatis might be gradually loosened? i think that is why we need to have site of the kind of evidence that the government is taking and trying on in the advice that they are getting so that we can understand that. i am assuming that these are just my own assumptions that some of that is to

make sure that businesses that do reopen can do so in a way that it appears to social distancing, but of course what does that mean for a car manufacturing plant or a restaurant or barora manufacturing plant or a restaurant or bar or a hairdresser? what would that mean if you're trying to adhere to social distancing for a school, for example. these are the things we need to understand better because, andi need to understand better because, and i don't think it takes away from the essential message of doubt which is for people to stay at home and to adhere to social distancing and not see other family members or go to work if they do not need to. but i think to prepare for that easing, we need to understand what that would look like better with her would be expected of us so we can get our business is ready and we can get a family life ready in the things to organise around that and plan for it properly. thank you for bearing with

us. thank you very much indeed. the shutter business secretary. coverage will continue. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker hello. the weather is looking very different from many of us tomorrow and outbreaks of rain heavy at times across southern parts of the uk and infected may feel like a bit of a wash—out and some of the southern towns and cities and on top of that, pretty chilly day as well. through the course of the night, the cloud sta rts the course of the night, the cloud starts gathering across the south and it will be raining by midnight across parts of southern england into wells in the early hours of tuesday morning with quite soggy weather possibly reaching as far north as the sub commitments, but many other parts of the country are com pletely many other parts of the country are completely different story and overnight is quite chilly especially across scotland in northern england. this is the area of low pressure tomorrow. slumbering rain that hangs around at any one particular place

for a long time, could be all day long and temperatures could be quite around nine to 10 degrees the south from the north, sunshine over a couple showers. this is bbc news the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk's prime minister, boris johnson, is back in downing street. he urges the public not to lose patience with the lockdown at the moment of maximum risk. i refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the british people and to risk a second major outbreak and huge loss of life and the overwhelming of the nhs. the number of confirmed global infections passes 3 million, with more than 208,000 deaths. more support for small businesses in the uk. loans of up to £50,000, all of it backed by the taxpayer. the white house says donald trump's daily briefings about the crisis will get "a new look"

after criticism over his
