people and complex §qmething is “1mm“? is going 60 going to at say does to and when to - and when you apply this apply to me? and when you apply that test how does it apply to me? almost everyone comes up with a question about exactly what they can and cannot do. daily mirror next. occasionally papers report essentially a message to the prime minister. you must protect the workers. olivia, this has been one of the big issue since the speech came out last night about who sends workers back, how do they get to workers back, how do they get to work and so on. yeah, i think it's very interesting the mirrors front page points to their class disparity. that's something similar in the sun tomorrow. that white collar workers, office workers can carry on working from home, kink do theirjobs carry on working from home, kink do
10:46 pm
their jobs perfectly carry on working from home, kink do theirjobs perfectly effectively from home. they won't be at risk. it is people work in manufacturing, construction, other blue—collarjobs who are now being asked to go back to work by the government. and it isn't completely clear how they are going to be kept safe. and i think it would be really terrible if the, if they was a class line between who is getting seriously a with this virus wasn't if it seems that boris johnson was giving middle—class people will be stay home, do their jobs to have a nice cushy life outside tout coming into contact with the virus, but if you work in a more manualjob that you have to go in and risk your life, thatjust really wouldn't be good at all. i think it's great that the papers are actually pointing that out so early on. and hopefully we can mitigate the damage before it happens. picking up on that point lance, the mirror does say that the move comes as neustadt show virus more likely to kill the lowest paid. yes, these
10:47 pm
are figures that came out monday from national statistics. they are really quite startling. they show what we used to call blue—collar jobs. people are more times as likely to die as in white collar jobs. so that really does illustrate the threat that these many people are facing. and why they are very concerned about being told that they really should be going back to work. and in effect, trust in their employers to ensure they are safe when they get there. simple times a day where if people go back into the workplace if they felt that they we re workplace if they felt that they were unsafe and whether they refuse to work and go back home nobody's givena very to work and go back home nobody's given a very clear answer to that. it's a very real challenge in the figures are of quite terrifying. let's look across the channel at france. france restarts slowly or
10:48 pm
softly. olivia oddly, it's interesting that the uk is able to compare itself with france. similar population, size, countryside. yet france is divided into red and green zones but the late—night based into population size in the uk is not. that struck me as odd as well. that seems to be an obvious idea of the population. we've already seen london was speaking far earlier than rick rest of the united kingdom. they are part of the uk where it's been only a handful detective cases. it seems very odd to treat them all the same. i would've thought that france's model makes quite a lot of sense. it's also notable that france has prioritised sending schools back. they has been a lot of talk about what britain is going to do about what britain is going to do about schools. it still isn't ioo% clear. bring back primary schools in earlyjune and other clear. bring back primary schools in early june and other classes, clear. bring back primary schools in earlyjune and other classes, to be it's always just so much evidence seems to point towards facts that children aren't particularly
10:49 pm
effective carriers of the virus. once children can go back to school then there parents can, obviously then there parents can, obviously the children are missing out on school, but while their home the pa rents school, but while their home the parents can't go back to work. first start to kick—starting the economy is sending chills or backwards up i think france was wise to prioritise that. and the green in that respect we could be taking a leaf out of their buck. just to pick up that point on children as characters, we continue to ask scientific experts about that. in terms of france, that division its city versus country side. but in the uk it doesn't matter if it's a city or a countryside it is nations potentially now against london. yes, and you got this very bizarre situation where the other three nations of the united kingdom, scotland, wales or northern ireland have got a different set of guidance to the public. basically the ones that was the national one, the uk wide one until today. and that has caused all sorts of problems. boris johnson was trying to say today that
10:50 pm
despite all that he was still prime minister of the whole country. he was speaking for the whole country and the advice that he was giving. it has become a problem. you start to divide the country up in terms of regulations and what they can do. the french example again is quite telling. because where is today we we re telling. because where is today we were told that we could drive as far as we like, although we couldn't ci’oss as we like, although we couldn't cross the border. he couldn't cross the border into scotland or wales to go for a walk but you can drive as faras go for a walk but you can drive as far as you like within england. whereas in france where they have started to ease the restrictions more quickly you can only drive 100 km. 60 odd miles. the financial time, the international edition features on its front page the city of wuhan for top which of course eve ryo ne of wuhan for top which of course everyone knows where the virus was first detected. wuhan reports new coronavirus weeks after lockdown was
10:51 pm
lifted. olivia, interesting thing about this wuhan is almost in the future for us. we see wuhan with its two or three months i have us and that's why we follow it so carefully. absolutely and this is just reminded us all our fight against coronavirus, borisjohnson made it clear in his monday night speech that his plan to ease the lockdown is all conditional wasn't if we start seeing flare—ups again oi’ if we start seeing flare—ups again or isolated cases coming back again then he's going to have to change his mind and he will put restrictions on just as easily as he's taken them off. i think it's really, really important to have that sort of approach. and to keep a reminded about public that. i think it's good to be a really important pa rt it's good to be a really important part of the comments from now on. i think will be quite dangerous to get the public are excited to go out to have parties, see yourfamily the public are excited to go out to have parties, see your family etc and then have to pull back on that really quickly. so i think wuhan has got some good lessons for us. but it's quite depressing to see just
10:52 pm
how long this is going to be with us for. picking up on the china story slightly different angle, do you detect when speaking to people in parliament a change in attitude towards the chinese government?|j think towards the chinese government?” think that's been the case over at least a couple of weeks now that people have been very suspicious of the figures coming out of china and whether or not they can be relied upon. but i think in this instance they probably cannot rely upon it. whatever failings there may have been through the one—party state in china in the beginning in wuhan they are now being pretty honest about the fact that there have been detections again. again in south korea. think about that is they know where they came from or apparently is to know where they came from. that's where the tracking element of it all, the track and tracing element of it all is so important. but we are still again lagging behind other countries around the
10:53 pm
world. in our ability to use that tracking and tracing. wuhan certainly and in south korea we do although they've identified, it shouldn't surprise us because we know that the virus isn't going to go away and it's capable of coming back and will come back if the affections allowed to continue. at least they can track and trace the people who have been infected by it. back to the uk. a look at the british rule. the eye, permission to meet relative, singular, orfriend, singular outdoors. and the metro says you just see mum as dad waits in the carand says you just see mum as dad waits in the car and that you see him as he waits and kind. simples. i didn't know the symbols was still a slang. i thought i was mid 905. also thought there was one potential thing i came up with two people can 5it thing i came up with two people can sit in thing i came up with two people can 5it ina thing i came up with two people can sit in a park one person 5it5 near them on the first day they are stranger which is fine. if they get to know that person suddenly they become a friend. in that group
10:54 pm
should be broken up. olivia, i don't know if you can think of any of the top of your head or are we wrong to start looking for these loopholes? they do affect how we live though.” think it's completely natural to start looking, the metro headline particular points out the absolute madness, really. the total lack of logic and quite a few of the rules. to an accent is hard to blame the government it's very very difficult to police all of these things. they can't just advisers to to police all of these things. they can'tjust advisers to use our common sense and then come up with such, rules which obviously lack common sense. the guy has a great example we are talking earlier about how difficult it is to all the regions doing different things. there is a golf course which has three holes in england but isn't allowed to open because for other tolls are and i don't know if it scotland, more of its holes are in scotla nd scotland, more of its holes are in scotland and scottish... it's all this kind of man is. last mentioned
10:55 pm
pastiche earlier, it does seem like there's gonna be a lot of mockery of just the absurdity of everything. lance and i know you're a political commentator you were a police chief, how would you go about trying to enforce this? i couldn't possibly begin to do that. now discriminating between strangers and friend. one of the most ludicrous things is that you can apparently go and sit in the park and sunbathe in a park and there can be complete strangers, two oi' there can be complete strangers, two or three major eight metres away, go get to know them! out if they're your parents you're breaking the law. so you can go to work and you can seat your workmates and you can actually be relatively close to them although we've been told perhaps he should face the other way when you're both working or something to cut down on the risk of infection for top but you can't then go home oi' for top but you can't then go home or go down to your mum and dads garden, sit in the garden two or three metres from them. and have a chat. that's what i meant when i
10:56 pm
said earlier people will look at this and say what does that mean for me? as soon as they do that what's it mean for me the contradictions and absurdities are very very obvious. lawrence, olivia thank you. that is it for the papers this hour. olivia and lance will be back in about half an hour for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. good evening, temperatures are slowly but surely going to climb we've got another few cool days before the weather turns mild or as we head into the weekend. at the moment the satellite picture shows cloud bringing some extreme balls of rain here. satellite pictures to the north of the uk where coming from a lot are working on. from scotland those shirt was bringing and will continue over the next three hours as well. mostly across northern scotla nd as well. mostly across northern scotland for top elsewhere largely drive. quite a bit of cloud for
10:57 pm
eastern areas and breezy as well. actually keep temperatures above freezing. but with lighter winds and clear skies and whales part of the midlands in southwest england these are the areas where we will mostly see temperatures drop low enough to give us some frost to start tuesday. high pressure is still influencing the weather on tuesday but we've got this cold front diving southwards into scotland as the day goes by. for many of us a bright start to the day. sunshine around temps will turn a bit cloudy through the day and there is a risk of a few showers working into perhaps northwestern areas of england and wales. we get this cold front bringing rain and probably a bit of snow into parts of scotland. northern island, england and wales temperatures 11 to 13 degrees. through the afternoon is that cold front moved through we get colder air, five or 6dc. the rain turning to snow for a time. wintry showers follow. it will be a colder day for these father northern areas thanit day for these father northern areas than it was compared to monday. high
10:58 pm
pressure still there on wednesday but eventually it's going to start to bring in more of a northwesterly flow of air. eventually it starts to turn a bit milder. the cold air still filters its way southwards down to the north sea. wednesday these northerly winds probably bringing a slight drop in temperature to parts of eastern england, again there will be some bright weather around probably turning quite cloudy for a time during the afternoon. it's across western areas that we will start to see the temperatures begin to lift a little bit with heights up to 15 degrees in cardiff and plymouth. maybe 12 or so and glascow. a5 degrees in cardiff and plymouth. maybe 12 or so and glascow. as we head towards the end of the week towards a weekend high pressure keeps mainly dry weather eventually that starts to decline for that we get these weather fronts just toppling in across the north of the high pressure bringing some thicker cloud and that will ultimately bring a threat of rain this weekend for parts of scotland. for most of us it will be turning milder this weekend.
