in the united states, more than 33 million people have now lost theirjobs since the middle of march. a further 3.2 million claimed benefits in the last week alone. the bank of england has warned that the uk is heading for its worst recession in history. the impact of coronavirus would see the economy shrink 14% this year, based on the lockdown being relaxed injune. france will begin reopening from monday, bringing to an end two months of confinement. but strict restrictions will continue to apply in paris and its surrounding areas. the usjustice department is dropping the criminal case against michael flynn, the former national security adviser to president donald trump. mr flynn was charged with lying to the fbi about his contact with russia.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the deputy political editor of the sun, matt dathan, and the director ofjohn smith centre at glasgow university and former scottish labour leader, kezia dugdale. welcome to you both again. let's go through some of the front pages briefly before relook at in detail. the times reports that borisjohnson will keep the uk in lockdown untiljune, after warnings that outbreaks in care homes and hospitals make easing restrictions any sooner too dangerous. the financial times leads on a warning from the bank of england, andrew bailey, that the uk is on the brink of its worst recession since the great frost of 1709. when the thames frosted over.

the guardian reports on fears that the government has lost its grip on lockdown exit plans — as the public deciphers mixed messages about the easing of restrictions. according to the independent, the prime minister has insisted that any changes to the lockdown will be carried out with "maximum caution". the daily telegraph leads on ve day commemorations, with a call from the opposition leader sir keir starmer, saying "we owe it" to the ve generation to protect them from the virus in care homes. "keep smiling through" — the headline in the express, splashed across a re—coloured picture of britain celebrating ve day 75 years ago. the sun plays on the ve day theme again. "give it back" — calling on the fundraising website justgiving, which profited over £300,000 thanks to captain tom moore's fundraising efforts for the nhs.

which has raised, what, £33 million or more now, i think? according to the daily mail, prince andrew is being sued for £6.4 million that he allegedly owes for a share in a ski chalet in the swiss alps. welcome back, both of you, again. let's start with the times. and picking up as we will come to it in a minute, actually, on the guardian front page. all those stories, matt, today in the papers saying happy monday, lifting of restrictions, whatever. a complete lead from message today for buy is that? was the message overwritten in the past 24 the message overwritten in the past 2a hours or as number ten been briefing badly? i think route ten we re briefing badly? i think route ten were spooked by the over positivity of the spin by unnamed sources inside government. these guys aren't

making it up and the situation is changing. but it is true from monday, we'll see some change, and any kind of change right now is welcome. being able to exercise for an unlimited amount of time rather than just an hour or so an unlimited amount of time rather thanjust an hour or so and an unlimited amount of time rather than just an hour or so and being old is it on a park bench is going to be quite revolutionary compared what we are used to. but it does not pub gardens and terraces being open. that's what your paper splashed on today. it was not from monday that those details... 0k, today. it was not from monday that those details... ok, that's a fair point. talking to people today, number ten were quite clearly a little bit spooked by the over positivity and they are worried the message, a lot would change on monday, but is not going to. and the papers won't sit over the top, i don't think. what do you make of

this in terms of the messaging? because now seems pretty clear that it's going be baby steps as far as borisjohnson is concerned. it's going be baby steps as far as boris johnson is concerned. yes. i am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt because the national cystic director says the facts themselves have changed, that the r number is creeping up again —— the national statistic director. but there are still 20,000 new cases of coronavirus every day and perhaps more in the country that are being officially recorded. a real rollback from ashley's papers, yes, but that might be some changes announced by the prime minister. you will get to pray in your church privately and get to it parks as well. matt, also the test and trace scheme which started in the isle of wight in the quite interesting the times on that, downloaded 30% so far. quite interesting the times on that, downloaded 3096 so far. only launched tuesday or wednesday this week and

initially only to certain age groups of the populations, but i think there's been a survey done yesterday oi’ there's been a survey done yesterday or today that shows around about 65% have said able downloaded, so we watched it very eagerly to see how much update there is there. just on that point, test, test, test, the message from the who. are you still focusing very much on matt hancock's target of 100,000 which was reached once? the prime ministerjust double that to 200,000. that target was unofficial... boris johnson said that in the chamber, and i saw matt hancock shake his head and sort of the missing when borisjohnson give him another target. —— sort of grimacing. it's going to be the key, really, to getting out. there's been

some stats today from the 0ns showing the prevalence of the virus. in the coming days, they're going to be publishing how many people they think have had the virus, and think 400,000 people. as kezia was saying, there might be three times more cases than they think because of the mass testing we have not had. and thatis mass testing we have not had. and that is the problem. we simply do not know still, do we? 0nto the telegraph. a lockdown might be lifted in stages. this is causing some anxiety in scotland, wales and northern ireland, is in its? yes. you had the first ministers of wales and northern ireland saying they are devolved and will use their powers

and not be told to do so —— how to do so by borisjohnson. in order to maintaina four do so by borisjohnson. in order to maintain a four nation approach, they all need to agree and be involved in deciding what lockdown looks like, so nicola sturgeon in particular was saying, if we are earnestly together as a team, we can only go as fast as they flow as memberof the team. only go as fast as they flow as member of the team. and if the rate in scotland is higher, she wants a lockdown here to last longer. and how difficult is that, matt, do you think for number ten? the statement has been put out at the moment, saying other areas are quite able to do that, but it would suggest a lack of unity, wouldn't it? whereas keir starmer is arguing the opposite. you're right. the reality of it is that the four nations of the united kingdom are going to come out of this lockdown a different stages. it's just inevitable despite us going down into lockdown together, but i think there will be a

different story in terms of the regions, especially in england because it would be very hard to stop people travelling from birmingham to manchester or birmingham to manchester or birmingham to manchester or birmingham to london. you could stop people going to the more remote parts, cornwall and possibly the highlands in scotland, but nothing outside of the four nations, there's going to have to be a united approach. perhaps nicola sturgeon and the other devolved nations, the lea ks and the other devolved nations, the leaks that and the other devolved nations, the lea ks that came and the other devolved nations, the leaks that came out today, that spurred them to say we are probably going to have to take a different approach, because we're not going to go about lifting these restriction that we don't think it's the right time. kezia, that's picked up on the guardian. the word grip used in that first pmqs, their first clash — guardian. the word grip used in that first pmqs, theirfirst clash — it wasn't really a clash, was it? their

first encounter in westminster.‘ grip on the lockdown or a grip on the comedic asians strategy behind it. -- in the comedic asians strategy behind it. —— in the communications strategy. yes, the guardian reports fury in scotland and wales on those front pages, and you see that again, the prime minister urging for maximum caution. also reports on leaks being really unhelpful, ironically from an unnamed source in the guardian, from the advisory committee, saying we have got to keep together in this age committee. everybody has to take the evidence collected in that is how we get through this. i used to work on fleet street, but for people who didn't, and don't know, when you have your splash today, saying happy monday for example, and we are talking about control and briefing and whatever, do you get a call from and whatever, do you get a call from a different person number ten

saying, hey, you've gone too far in this one boys or girls? absolutely. we are talking to them all the time. the thing is, one of the problems is, there's been kind of a vacuum of a lack of... and a lot of other countries around europe, there's been a vacuum from the uk government about how we can get through this hell we are going through. newspapers are looking to stories... it's funny how so many of you in on that same sort of giddy, exuberant sort of line. we are going to come backin sort of line. we are going to come back ina sort of line. we are going to come back in a minute. let's move the ft. as you say, this horrific episode for the country, the world, and the economic consequent is highlighted by andrew ailey and the bank of a today. the worst since 18 09, which

i think is when the thames froze over? yes, a stark headline. worst recession in years. the big question going forward is, that very sharp drop, how long is it going to last? there's a big demand across the ft today from the banks to keep lending full—time that's viewed as being pretty critical as to what happens next. matt, he's also saying that short to medium—term, it's going to be dire but a v—shaped next year. where does the treasury and where does number 11 stand on all this? we are hearing about rishi sunak wanting to wean people off the furlough scheme and everything else, but the timing of that is crucial, isn't it? absolutely. this is going to bea isn't it? absolutely. this is going to be a big story next week and something that we have been working on all week. the treasury are working on a whole range of policy options. there's a lot of calls and

a lot of pressure, and there are signs to be honest the treasury will try and look at allowing firms to furlough their staff part—time, which would be crucial. at the moment, firms have to choose whether to furlough their staff and they cannot work or they have to keep their workers on and pay them themselves, so a lot of firms are looking, demanding that they are allowed to furlough their staff pa rt—time, allowed to furlough their staff part—time, but also demands for certain sectors, like pubs, hospitality is, jim's, to keep the furlough scheme on for them and maybe wean off the other industries that can go back to work. let's move the mail. i am not sure if any of the mail. i am not sure if any of the royal household have been furloughed yet, although social distancing rules apply i think in summer. the only paper do not lead with coronavirus. andrew sued for £6.7 million over ski chalet debt. they paid a lot of money for it. a p pa re ntly they paid a lot of money for it.

apparently they are now, they were intending to sell it, but they do not deny there is a payment which they have missed, because apparently it's still mortgaged. yes. this is a shared property which they value at £5 million stop is risen to £6.7 million at interest rates and fees, and that's what they're being sued for. not a pretty story. the front page also contrasts with megan and henry —— megan meghan and henry. interesting for the daily mail not to lead with coronavirus but not even mention it oi'i coronavirus but not even mention it on the front page. matt, and he views on this? this comes from a french paper, doesn't it? it's the

mail reporting on what a french paper has been reporting. any sort of break from coronavirus is welcome at the moment, a little bit of reprieve, another contrast in the fortu nes reprieve, another contrast in the fortunes of prince harry and meghan. ido fortunes of prince harry and meghan. i do question media strategy at the moment. maybe just lay low for a bit and go ahead with their plans in a few months, but itjust shows you, yeah, prince andrew looks like he is more troubled. the debt has gone up, because of interest, since december 31. extraordinary. as i say, they have said they were planning to sell it to have said they were planning to sell ittoa have said they were planning to sell it to a friend. back to the telegraph. actually, this message from keir starmer in the telegraph and splashed by the telegraph,

superseding or replacing what boris has said to the ve day generation as well. that's quite a turnaround, isn't it? yeah, really significant, particular as labour has not been good courting what we deem the right—wing press in the united kingdom. jeremy corbyn had a chardy not to engage with it at all. keir starmer has given an interview here and bumped boris to the latter paragraphs. he has given a nice line here. the best thing they can do to respect the service and the sacrifice of those people who died 75 years ago is make sure that those who still live are cared for well in theircare who still live are cared for well in their care homes. and, matt, the way that line is being crafted, it does penetrate, doesn't it? absolutely, linking the 75 year anniversary with the looming crisis, the current crisis in care homes, is a really powerful message. quite

flabbergasted initially when i saw keir starmer giving an interview to the allograft. it's been years since the allograft. it's been years since the uk labour leader has given interview to the telegraph in office andi interview to the telegraph in office and i think it's very much hitting through, an obvious leak keir starmer to win back power but they really to have to reach across the divide and start winning over people like the telegraph readers and i think this is a really powerful message and a really clever strategy from keir starmer on such a momentous day tomorrow. yeah, just looking at the express in the mirror, they have both got the same idea, retouched pictures from the day itself. very strong, very striking. and what you really notice, isn't it, the crowds, the sheer numbers of the people on the streets, celebrating the end of such a terrible war. do you think it's right to use the same sort of imagery, the same language now in terms of fighting this war of the

coronavirus? because it is different. it is so different but i guess there are parallels that can be drawn delicately, but being forced to stay at home and bench netflix is not the same as being on the front line divorce every 75 years ago. that sense of togetherness, that sense of a bright future ahead if we can together collectively are the parallels, but the pitchers are what carry the story today, real beautiful pictures. and, matt, you've chosen a va day theme for the front page as well. you are saying "give it back smack ve day theme. the site took 300,000. there is some confusion over this, isn't there? this story, i thought, had

confusion over this, isn't there? this story, ithought, had been around a few weeks ago. where are we on this? there were some reports on social media mainly, fake reports, saying that they were taking things to say was 5% on all donations. that changed about two years ago. now, they take 5% on gift. when you donate, if you are a taxpayer in the uk, you can opt in. because of the scale of the donations, just giving, the page has raised 32, nearly £33 million. 6 million of that has come in additionally through gift aid. because of the 5% on the £6 million of giftaid because of the 5% on the £6 million of gift aid donations, it is pocketed by just giving. of gift aid donations, it is pocketed byjust giving. that's how they provided receiving about £300,000. that's absolutely watertight? that is what is the

situation at the moment, is it? yes. i spoke tojustgiving. they make the case they need the money to process the donations... there is a processing fee, isn't it there, with credit cards? 1.996, you. what do you make of this? justgiving exists to make of this? justgiving exists to make it easy for people to give to charities so their defence will be this is a fee they need to operate to do what they do. but this is not just any event or charity or issue, this is an extraordinary amount of money raised in different every —— an expert in every circumstances. you would hope they'd be willing to waive it in this one occasion. they a lwa ys waive it in this one occasion. they always have the clever words in the headline. the full response from

justgiving is in the paper tomorrow. 0k, great, because we've only got the front pages at the moment. i think we believe it there. we managed to get to quite a lot of them. thank you very much to kezia and matt. that is it for this edition of the papers. good evening. i'm holly hamilton with your latest sports news. and while premier league clubs are still to reach an agreement around project restart, discussions are set to resume on monday, following the prime minister's speech regarding the lockdown on sunday. meanwhile, football will be returning to europe next weekend, as germany's bundesliga restarts behind closed doors. well, earlier, ispoke to the sporting director of fortu na dusseldorf, who told me the rest of europe will be looking on with interest. we're one of the first top leagues —

not just in football, i think from all sports — to restart again, so everybody will be watching. i believe that, yeah, trust is something, but also i think we as the club say the players have a big responsibility to show that all that plan works out, and i think everybody has to ask himself the question to really follow all the measures which are presented after that plan. so there is lots of detailed work but everything is possible, and so far, i think the discipline — i only can talk about my players here at fortuna dusseldorf — was really fantastic and they're ready to go. well, rangers today revealed their dossier of evidence against the spfl in which they claim to have information that raised concerns over last month's controversial resolution to end the season for the lower leagues. they claim clubs were not informed of a potential £10 million liability and "substa ntial problems" with league reconstruction before they voted to end the season.

well, the spfl has responded, insisting there is no evidence to support claims of bullying or coercion. here's our scotland sports news correspondent chris mclaughlin with more. "not one shred of evidence" was a very short spfl rebuff to this rangers document. they say they will go away and pore over it in more detail and get back to the 42 clubs in due course. what happens now is there's an egm here in glasgow on tuesday of next week, and clubs will be asked to look at this evidence and see whether or not they believe there's enough to push on for an independent investigation. the clubs that i've been speaking to today — and bear in mind it'sjust a few of the clubs in scotland — believe that, yes, there's some interesting parts to this dossier but not enough to convince them to push on for an independent investigation when they say the focus should really be about how scottish football resumes again.

the two—time major champion player martin kaymer says golf would be an easy sport to bring back if it weren't for the travelling involved. there's been no professional golf since 12 march, but there's a charity match planned in florida next week and the american tour sees it as the first step in a tentative return. in a professional way, golf shouldn't be a problem at all. the only problem that i see is getting to the tournaments. we are playing on the european tour. there are european players everywhere in europe. they need to get from a to b. the travel arrangements, they must be so tricky. but if there's a sport, then golf should be one of them that's allowed as soon as it's safe. i don't see a big problem. we can play in twosomes instead of threesomes, there shouldn't be an issue, but the problem is to get to those events. and the british horseracing authority has revealed plans to begin meetings behind closed doors in the first week after racing is given the go—ahead

from the government. it made its return to germany today, though, for the first time since mid—march, with a 12—race card in hanover. it was run under strict hygiene measures and without spectators. a provisional fixture list has been sent to trainers in britain, with 13 meetings planned for the first seven days. and that is all your sport for now. you can, of course, find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. head over to bbc.co.uk/sport. but for now, thanks for watching and goodnight. hello there. friday marks the 75th anniversary of ve day and it's going to be another very warm and a sunny day across much of the country. the sunshine a little bit hazy at times. and into the afternoon, the high temperatures could spark off a few heavy, maybe thundery, showers pretty much anywhere. now, the pressure chart reveals

high—pressure dominating the scene through friday. we've got this weather front pushing in to the north of scotland. that'll introduce more cloud here with showery bursts of rain throughout the day. we'll also start the day with some showery bursts of rain across southwest england. it's moving northwards and tending to ease down, but it will be rather grey to start across irish sea coasts. most of that cloud should run back to the coast. most places across the country should be dry with sunny spells, but a few heavy, thundery downpours developing into the afternoon. temperatures range from 18 to 24 degrees across the south. these temperatures more likejuly than may. now, the showers and thunderstorms continue to rumble on into the evening, and then it will tend to fizzle out. it should be dry for most areas but more low cloud returning across irish sea coasts and it stays quite wet across the far north of scotland. but a milder night to come for many of us. into saturday, this is when we start to see some changes. that cold front begins to move southwards across northern scotland, but further south, you notice the orange and yellow colours still in abundance. so, another warm day, in fact, for many of us on saturday. again, in response to the high temperatures into the afternoon, we could see some showers or thunderstorms developing.

it will be turning windier and colder across the north of scotland with outbreaks of rain. so, a big temperature difference on saturday — 7 to 10 degrees in the north of scotland, 18 to 24 or 25 further south. but the cold air wins out saturday night into sunday. that arctic plunge spreads south across the country, with a band of cloud, a few showery bursts of rain on it, which will eventually clear southwards. and then it's a brighter afternoon, but much colder, with a very brisk, cold north—northeasterly wind. that's blowing a few wintry showers, in fact, into the north and east of scotland. and look at these values. we've been experiencing temperatures closer to what we'd expect injuly. these are more like march temperatures. factor in the wind, it'll feel even colder than that. and farmers and gardeners, beware. some will see a widespread frost in places through sunday night. stays chilly as well into the start of next week with chilly nights, but then temperatures start to return to normal as we move deeper on into the week. and with high—pressure nearby, it's going to stay bright and dry.

this is bbc news — i'm tim willcox — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. british ministers insist plans to ease the lockdown will be "modest" and closely monitored — the prime minister will outline the changes on sunday. jobless and homeless. with 33 million americans now unemployed, new york's subway is a haunting symbol of the pandemic‘s impact. they are trying to figure how to make ends meet, so part of how they are doing that is to stand on this line at the mission, pick up a to go meal, and make ends meet that way. france is to begin lifting what's been one of harshest lockdowns in europe bringing an end to two months of confinement. the british economy is heading towards its deepest ever recession — a stark warning from the bank of england about
