shall we say, did in of the new york times, the war was dug trenches. as taiwan commences its official that's not the case. baseball season in empty stadiums. so let's begin... a lot of people were pilots, navigators, engineers, the lot, welcome to you both again. lucy, and they won a lot of gallantry medals for their service. let's kick off with the telegraph. a but that story has not lot of uk papers basically the same been told nowhere near as widely as it should be. so this monument headline, same briefing. saint home advice to be scrapped. it's going to will tell that story. clay models give a sense of how be difficult to manage expectations, is in a? which is part of the reason the finished sculpture will look. an imposing nine metres wide and carved from stone, why he wanted to make the announcement on sunday ahead of it features palm trees and four bronze figures to represent monday. i think that's right. he the different branches of the armed forces. obviously wanted to show courtesy to i am so pleased about it, mps and the house of commons because because it seemed so shocking to me the neck of course normally policy that this government have never done should be unveiled in house rather than on television screens in normal nothing to show any appreciation. times. there is a sense of giddiness on the front pages tonight. it's not surprising we've had six weeks of lockdown. and it doesn't look like one of the few surviving veterans we are now going to be into some of the second world war,

95—year—old albert hopes he will see gentle eastings around perhaps a monument during his lifetime. sending more people back to work. sian lloyd, bbc news. although the telegraph suggest they will have to warrior will be advised to wear face coverings when on the pioneer of electronic music public transport are in crowded spaces. also the suggestion that the and co—founder of the german group current rules allowing individuals kraftwerk, florian schneider, has died at the age of 73. to exercise only once a day will be lifted. so as long as people maintain the social distancing they can leave the house as many times as his revolutionary use they want perhaps go to the park to sunbathe, take a picnics again. so i of synthesisers in the 1970s and ‘80s helped define the sound think that will be a degree of of pop and dance music in the decades that followed. excitement about the ability to enjoy a bit more freedom next week. the band enjoyed international success with tracks such as autobahn, radioactivity john, is that how you read it and the model. announcing the sunday rather than giving it to the commons on monday? a new painting by the street artist banksy has been revealed at southampton general hospital. yes, i do. and i share lucy's assessment that the papers are giddy it's called game changer, with excitement. likely i'm very and the work will be auctioned later with the money going to the nhs. 0ur arts editor will gompertz sadly don't share that giddiness. 0f has been to see it. course i like everybody else will look forward to having more freedom could this be a rare sighting to get out and about and obviously,
10:34 pm
of the elusive street artist banksy? undercover, making a special it's vital for this economy and delivery to university hospital southhampton. economies around the world. to start wow. it's certainly his handiwork. gradually getting back into gear. it was hung late last night and sorting out the mess. but i have and unveiled this morning. it depicts a young boy kneeling to hand it to this government, they down wearing dungarees and a white t—shirt. are quite taskmasters in spinning. the wastepaper basket in front of him has two discarded old superheroes. because this could end in any way be instead, he's playing with his new model figure, a new superhero, an nhs nurse with a flying cape and arm pointing seen as a forwards like superman. because this could end in any way be seen as a positive set of developments. i mean, britain now she is on a mission. has, is in the ignominious position the idea of the hospital's management and banksy was to thank of having the highest death rate in the staff of the nhs generally for everything they are doing. so, did it go down well? europe. 0ver of having the highest death rate in europe. over 32,000. and of having the highest death rate in europe. 0ver32,000. and somewhere just the proudness of it. between an embarrassment and outrage because there's absolutely nothing differentiating britain beat the actual realising that we are incompetence and laxness. and i'm thought of and respected. for years now, we've not, but now, worried that this laxness will with everything that's going on in this current climate, continue in the month, this hubris people are seeing us where we should be. into the next phase. lucy, was this we're superheroes. something that you picked up from it's such a nice reward the first pms cues between keir for all the staff that have been working really hard throughout this.
10:35 pm
we've had members of staff starmer and the prime minister in terms of the questioning of the be unwell themselves, prime minister? yes, there certainly and obviously all our patients, and we've just pulled together and got on with our work. area prime minister? yes, there certainly why then did the hospital are a lot of questions for the government to answer. and in a want to work with banksy? sense, asjohn government to answer. and in a sense, as john rightly government to answer. and in a sense, asjohn rightly points out, we have the worst death row delete he's really captured the emotion behind the way that the country's not toll in europe. taken over recognising the nhs at the moment. certainly since we've been talking about it this morning, 30,000 which is quite extraordinary. people recognise him, i think that there is a sense while they understand where he's coming from, and they're really many will be looking to exercising appreciative that he's made southampton the place their freedom is to recognise the nhs. many will be looking to exercising theirfreedom is a bit more many will be looking to exercising their freedom is a bit more from next week, there is still a lot of the plan is to sell the artwork at an auction after the lockdown, fear and concern in other quarters with the proceeds going to the nhs, of the country. to me it was more some of which will come to this hospital. it could fetch over £1 million. striking in the press conference will gompertz, bbc news, southampton. this afternoon sort of really that's it. now time for the news where you are. 00:05:44,128 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 have a very good night. suggesting that ministers wanted to give confidence to the public. that they could feel like they could go outside and go back to work again. some quarters of the country might have to be persuaded and coaxed to ta ke have to be persuaded and coaxed to take up those freedoms. i think we saw again in the p. m. cues the prime minister striding on the back
10:36 pm
foot on the number of deaths in care homes. he has expressed bitter regret. but i think people will want to see more investigation into widespread delete not why it spread so widespread delete not why it spread so quickly. john, you're nodding at that. keir starmer obviously exacting some concessions from the prime minister which we haven't heard before. let's go on to the daily mail. the hurrah, lockdown freedom beckons. this is going to make a apical task for the police. even more complicated, is in a? yeah. and we have a sort of vagueness in britain that is not being replicated in other countries. east asian countries that have dealt with it well comparatively well. such as south korea and the country that i've spent a lot of time in and much of last year in germany. if one can pairs and contrasts the headlines referring to frankfurt, i read the german press and every step
10:37 pm
of the way there is a punctilious nose. there is an attention to detail. there is a sense of not playing fast and loose. with peoples lives and almost dealing with political one upmanship. which is what i saw this 100,000 testing campaign. they hit itjust once and now in the uk it's well below that again. i would just very much urge ministers to learn the lessons of their almost bluster of the first stage of the lockdown. and ensure that the easing of the lockdown is done incredibly carefully. angela merkel has had a few problems in the federal states has and she? sliding back on that now. let's move onto the ft. because they've taken a slightly different line. again on the relaxation, johnson looking to border checks as price of lockdown,
10:38 pm
relaxation. i think a lot of people might say why now? why not six weeks ago? well, i think that's absolutely right. i do think there are a lot of questions to be answered here and some of the policy decisions particularly the speed at which they we re particularly the speed at which they were taken. but i have a little bit more sympathy than john that the government, all countries have been caught on the back foot by a pandemic we haven't seen before. i think it's still unclear why germany has done so much better. there may be some kind of factors they are, fewer cities, more rural population, more towns. that might explain why they have seen the virus spread less quickly. 0bviously they have seen the virus spread less quickly. obviously in some asian countries more authoritarian regimes have found it easier to control and conduct surveillance on populations. but i do think it's interesting that it's the closing of the border now. australia took a very swift action
10:39 pm
to do that and has done a far lower spreading of the virus. interesting time in question, that one. problem isjohn, none time in question, that one. problem is john, none of time in question, that one. problem isjohn, none of us know quite which way of approaching this pandemic is the right one. when i couldn't 06 mons, a year 01’ the right one. when i couldn't 06 mons, a year or beyond, are we? in terms of what's been successful perhaps in new zealand, australia and some of the other countries. might come successful a second or third way. i completely agree they're all different demographics. there are also constants. for example, to relatively small countries in, right in the middle of europe, the
