warned that lifting restrictions too soon could lead to further spikes in cases. anthony fauci said the country did not have total control of the outbreak. the afghan president, ashraf ghani, says he's ordered offensive operations to resume against the taliban and other islamist militant groups. two separate attacks left more than 30 people dead — including new born babies after a maternity hospital was targeted. some train services have resumed in india after nearly two months as lockdown eases. before the pandemic the rail network carried over 20 million people each day. tesla's chief executive elon musk has reopened an electric car plant in california, despite lockdown orders in place against manufacturing. president trump has tweeted his support, saying the plant can be open "safely and fast". early research in the uk has shown

that covid—19 is having a disproportionate impact on black men and women. the risk factor is also high for other ethnic minority groups — including those from a pakistani or indian background. the bbc asian network's shabnam mahmood has been looking at the issue in one of the worst—affected areas in london. wembley, home to english football. it's also home to one of britain's most diverse communities, many now united in grief after losing loved ones to the coronavirus. the underlying issues were just diabetes and stuff, which is common nowadays, but it wasn't enough to take his life. in the shadows of wembley stadium is where mahindra shah from india spent most of his life, surrounded by family and friends. but he died alone in hospital, something his daughter and her family are still coming to terms with. absolutely heartbroken. yeah. i thinkjust still...

sorry. ithink... getting to grips with it all, still, trying to understand. driving across wembley, it's not difficult to find other families also suffering the pain of loss. this disease has hit people from all religions in the area. i wasjust saying, mum, i love you, and she goes, i love you, too. sadia lost her mum and her aunt within days of each other to the virus. herfamily is of a pakistani muslim heritage, which often means hundreds of people gather for a funeral to pay their respects. a month on, i went on friday to the graveyard and it's hard for me to accept not seeing my mum around, or because i haven't grieved, i haven't hugged my brothers or sisters, i haven't hugged my dad, so... i don't feel like i've let it out.

she believes government messages on lockdown and keeping safe just didn't reach communities like hers. what is being done for those people, those ethnic minorities? is the word getting out? that's my worry. i don't think it's getting out to them. there isn't a family that will not tell you that they've not lost someone. just a few streets away, sharon fraser has lost seven people close to her to coronavirus. i've lost my uncle dante, my oldest daughter has lost her grandfather, we've had one family in the area that lost mum, dad and a sister. i worry about what do we do with our grief, you know? experts say the virus doesn't discriminate, but here there's a story of disparity in places where black, asian and minority ethnic communities live. shabnam mahmood, bbc news.

the national crime agency says at least ten tons of class a drugs have been seized globally over the past six weeks, as gangs try to move supplies in greater quantities than before. the figures, disclosed to bbc news, come amid claims some young people who were caught up in gangs and drug crime before the lockdown may be having a rethink. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, reports. shouting. police! an early morning wake—up call in east london. police on the trail of drug gangs — part of a three—year operation and almost 600 arrests. these raids took place as the coronavirus began to spread — and more have followed. it's all about bearing down on violence across london and dealing with drug trafficking, street dealing and all the acquisitive crime, the violence, the anti—social behaviour, that comes with drug dealing. sirens wail. just before lockdown, we went out with police in south london. there are over 300

gangs in the capital. they stop a suspected dealer. relax your hand now! relax your hand! relax! the restrictions haven't stopped drug dealing and violent crime, but the criminals are on the back foot for now. there are far less cars on the streets, far less movement of people, and so therefore if known drug dealers are seen moving from a to b, they stick out more. so increased risk for gangs but the price of heroin has doubled. there's money to be made. the drug supply chain is driven by greed. they don't stop in times like this. even in a pandemic, they are still moving drugs or attempting to move drugs. globally, thousands of kilos of class a drugs were seized last month — more than usual, as gangs risk moving larger consignments. so, the streets are quieter, overall crime is down and police are finding it easier to spot suspects who venture out.

and for some of those who are lying low, it seems this long period of lockdown may be having unexpected benefits. for them, it's been a really profound reflection. they've really had to think about their futures. brixton youth worker mohammed says this could be a turning point for vulnerable young people caught up in drugs and violence. because they are living in such a fast manner in terms of their lifestyle, they never really get that time to kind of slow down and really digest where their actions are taking them, whether it's a significant sentence injail, whether it's carrying weapons, and i think that's what they've been given the opportunity to do. only when the lockdown measures are relaxed will we know if there's been a lasting positive change or if the drug deals and knife crime will carry on as before, with police in pursuit. danny shaw, bbc news, south london.

now it's time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are laura hughes the political and diplomatic correspondent for the financial times and sam lister — the deputy political editor for the daily express. tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the financial times — it says the decision by the government to extend its flagship job retention scheme until the end of october has been welcomed by businesses and unions. the same story makes the front page of the i — it says a cliff edge has been avoided, for 7.5 million people. the guardian says the move is an attempt to prevent a wave ofjob losses in the summer. the sun focuses on the mounting covid bill, after that decision by the chancellor to extend the furlough scheme. the times reports on ministers‘ efforts to get the country's housing market moving again — it says buyers will be given the go—ahead to go

and visit properties. the daily mail also leads with attempts to restart the housing market — but it comes as families are told they're unlikely to get to go abroad this summer. the mirror says there are concerns over the risks to jobs and health, as thousands get set to return to work on wednesday. and, according to a treasury estimate seen by the telegraph, the coronavirus cost will cost the exchequer almost 300 billion pounds this year. let's begin. we are going to start, laura and sam, with the guardian, the main story come up for low scheme extended in bid to prevent widescalejob scheme extended in bid to prevent widescale job losses. this scheme extended in bid to prevent widescalejob losses. this really, sam, is the story of the day. absolutely. the chancellor obviously made this announcement earlier today, and so far, we have got around 7 million workers who have now been furloughed and nearly! million businesses taking advantage of the scheme. it's really a

lifeline for businesses and for people who otherwise probably would have been made redundant by now. now, what's quite interesting about it, is there some changes coming. from august, businesses will be expected to make some contribution towards the 80% of wages of furloughed employees. by the government is allowing people to start working part—time, and still be furloughed, so you could work for one day weekend have your pay for the rest of your furloughed week, as it were, which is quite an interesting move. it allows businesses to start gradually reopening and phase back workers. laura hughes, the guardian notes that employers will need to share the cost of paying salaries. is that likely to be a workable transition? welcome marie sue neck told the bbc oi'i welcome marie sue neck told the bbc on this day the treasury would still pay the lion's share of this salary.

-- rishi pay the lion's share of this salary. —— rishi sunak. but it's worth noting that for some industries like the hospitality industry who may not be able to open up their premises until the end of the year next year, it might be really difficult for them to make any sort of contribution, and it is still quite unclear this evening what the treasury intends to do, but, obviously, it's not sustainable for them to carry on subsidizing a quarter of the uk's work for us as it is doing now without some help, and theirargument is it is doing now without some help, and their argument is that they are helping businesses in other ways with business rate relief, etc. they are going to have to help too, and also, they are going to allow companies to bring back people on a part—time basis, and again, that might make it easier for them to shoulder some of the cost. costs. that's the key word. of course, everyone is asking how much is this going to cost. the daily telegraph believes it might have an answer. the headline of the paper "treasury says virus to cost £300 billion as

it once of tax rises and pay freeze." are we to trust that figure, sam? welcome it as a range of figures in this, this is worse case scenario, best case scenario, but cimino, i mean, this is a expensive operation. it's obviously going to be incredibly expensive. now, what's interesting is that obviously this paper is suggesting that we will now face income tax increases, which breaks the ma nifesto increases, which breaks the manifesto pledge, and there will be spending cuts. in the last hour, we have had reaction in it pretty swift to this story. labour are saying don't go down the path of cutting funding to public services. in campaign groups are going down the path of saying "do not put up taxes on an already overburdened public." so the government is really between iraq and a hard place in this. laura, when you see that figure, are

you able to start analysing it? welcome ijust think you able to start analysing it? welcome i just think that you able to start analysing it? welcome ijust think that it's extraordinary when you think that the budget in march predicted we would have a deficit of 55 billion. imean, would have a deficit of 55 billion. i mean, that shows you the economic hit that the coronavirus has had and will have on the economy. it's really interesting though because the prime minister has repeatedly dodged how much this is going to cost and how the government is going to pay for it or indeed how the public are going to pay for it, and he's been very clear that he doesn't think the austerity years are going to come back. but at some point now, ministers are going to have to be really clear with the public, because this hasn't been explained, andl because this hasn't been explained, and i appreciate the focus has very much been on keeping people safe and putting the health of the public first, but already, there are conservatives and there will be vote rs conservatives and there will be voters as well who are concerned when they see stories like this and leaked reports from treasury that

potentially their taxes are going to have to go up. this document suggests that one option being looked at is removing the triple lock on state pension increases, which would have a huge impact on lots of people, and again, freezing public—sector pay increases for potentially two years would impact a lot of people's lives as well. sol think this story, whether or not it turns out that these figures are completely accurate, because of course they are just predictions, it is going to increase pressure on the government to be a little bit clearer with the public and with journalists about what their plans are and how much this is going to cost us all. at this point in the papers, it's like a tie—break in tennis, laura hughes, you get a double go when we switch things around, because we are going to her paper now, the financial times rishi soon i choose business and unions by extending scheme. the price tag has reached £80 billion on the front page there. that clearly relates to the furlough scheme, but

also following that telegraph, 300 billion of the entire thing, you are really getting into the numbers there. yes, and it's also worth noting that the role that the unions have played in recent weeks in terms of influencing the government, having conversations with ministers, and really shaping, in many ways, this debate. because one of the things that companies and unions we re things that companies and unions were calling for was for the furlough scheme to be extended to part—time workers. that was a huge demand from them. yet again, we have looked at the money and the potential cost of subsidizing a quarter of the workforce for now potentially eight months and, again, there is a lot of speculation there, because we don't know exactly what companies are going to be asked to contribute after august. but we know they definitely will. the treasury is undera lot they definitely will. the treasury is under a lot of pressure here, and whilst rishi sunak the chancellor, would seem on the surface to be quite a popular politician at the

moment because he's handing out lots of cash and money to people going down the track, he's going to have to make some really difficult decisions. thank you laura, sam from the express commits rather fascinating and this pandemic era when you see a newspaper the headline that says "a politician shares business and unions." it's usually one or the other. but i guess it gives us a kind of commentary on what kind of world we are now living in that both business and unions welcome this move. i think there has been a concerted effort on all sides. 0bviously, i think there has been a concerted effort on all sides. obviously, we see it with care starmer, the labour party leader, he has made quite a point of trying to be constructive in his opposition. i think we've seen the unions, the because unions tend to follow that approach, and there has been quite a lot of close cooperation between the unions and business representatives. all of those groups have been working closely with the government and

trying to thrash out a package that suits everybody in the best way possible. which is i think very, you know, it's a very good way to carry things out. hopefully, that will continue. wejust things out. hopefully, that will continue. we just have to wait and see i suppose. lets go to the daily mail, which counts down to some practicalities for the next few months. you can move house, you can't holiday abroad. i'm not quite sure what the second headline will affect anyone's plans, because i do not know of a single person who is planning a particularly lavish or jealousy inducing holiday to anywhere, but nevertheless, laura hughes from the financial times, moving house, that gets a real part of the economy moving again. yes, it does, but it's also raising question for a lot of people who have been told that they cannot see members of their own family. they can visit their own family. they can visit their homes. suddenly, we are being told it's ok to go and visit the house of a prospective you know, somebody that you don't know, that

you potentially might be looking to buy. that feels quite inconsistent and unclear, because if if that is safe, wise and unsafe to apply the same measures that estate agents are being asked to apply, so for example, they may be told to wear gloves, they will have to maintain social distancing within the house, which might be quite difficult if these are small properties, and also again, it'sa these are small properties, and also again, it's a little bit unclear this evening as to whether or not new houses are going to be going on the market. again, when you go and look at this house or this flat committee do go as a single person, oi’ committee do go as a single person, orare committee do go as a single person, or are you allowed to go as a couple, given you presumably would be moving in together. so that is very unclear, and i think people looking at front pages like the mail tomorrow will be asking these sort of questions, and i think it's no great surprise that we won't be doing or going on in the excited holiday is the summer, but it's worth noting that the europeans tomorrow are coming out with some

advice on tourism and potentially there might be countries in europe that group together where the level of the pandemic is similar in order to encourage people to move around and boost the tourism industry. so it's worth watching that, but it really doesn't feel, speaking to officials today, that anybody is going to be flying anywhere this summer. going to be flying anywhere this summer. sam, looking at the daily mail, as laura said, doesn't expose that loophole that we seem to be allowed to meet a lot of awful lot of strangers at the moment, state agents, people who might want to buy oui’ agents, people who might want to buy our house, cleaners, anyone who sits near us our house, cleaners, anyone who sits nearus in our house, cleaners, anyone who sits near us in the park, but yet, that core group of family members who might be under 70 and healthy, we are still not allowed to see. welcome look, we are all desperate to see our family, welcome look, we are all desperate to see ourfamily, and it's com pletely to see ourfamily, and it's completely understandable why people find the rules quite inconsistent, but, actually, they are broad principles, and what the government is trying to do is minimise risk. i mean, it can't eliminate risk, so

it's looking at each sector, each area of life, and trying to piece together the best way through this. i think the problem with meeting friends and family is what they are desperate to avoid is group meetings, and obviously come as soon as you relax the meeting friends and family rules, there is that temptation to suddenly have a big gathering into big sunday lunch you know, a big meeting at the park or whatever. whereas if you are specifically to look at a house, you know, the contact will be minimal. you can socially distance. there will be no temptation to turn this into a long lengthy afternoon. and along really well with your estate agent. well, yes of course. let's go to the metro newspaper, because it's trying to put a human face on some of the devastating losses. 40,000 our true death toll is revealed. the metro features a picture of ticket checker who died after being spat out by a man claiming to have covid—i9. we see a picture of her

there on a number of front pages, laura. i laura. , ithink laura. , i think you know, laura. , ithink you know, the public is almost becoming desensitized to the numbers that just keep almost becoming desensitized to the numbers thatjust keep coming out every day, because they are just numbers. so when you hear really shocking cases like this one, it sort of brings home how serious this crisis is, but, clearly, this story is one of the worst i've seen in the la st is one of the worst i've seen in the last few weeks, and the police are involved, downing street has issued a really strong rebuke that this behaviour obviously today, because it is so utterly shocking and questions are being raised by the family why was she allowed to continue in a public facing role, she was working in a ticket office when she had underlying respiratory problems, so, again, a reminderas people start to go back to work tomorrow, our company is making sure that their staff are safe. 0ur

feeling though is that they can voice concerns about returning to work if they don't feel comfortable, and if they do have these underlying health issues, but, of course, for a lot of people, it really hasn't been an option to just lot of people, it really hasn't been an option tojust not lot of people, it really hasn't been an option to just not to go to work and not earn money, and i think these stories, hopefully, make everyone just stop and think and put everything into a bit of perspective, really. sam, does bring home the dangers faced by people like bella, front line workers. absolutely. and i think we have seen in this crisis the absolute best of human nature, people volunteering, looking after people that they don't know, going out of their way to care for people, but then we've also seen the absolute worst, and it's just so distressing, and the poorfamily, hearts just go out to them. you know, there are no words to describe an individual who thinks this is in any way an acceptable thing to do.

so, yeah, just a truly horrific story, and very powerful illustrating the risk that front—line workers are facing. illustrating the risk that front-line workers are facing. we will go finally to the times newspaper, which talks about a way to get out of the bunker, saying a nation starved of sports will get golf and tennis back. laura, briefly, any other sports he would like to add to the list or activities? personally, no. no. it is interesting when you compare those two stories that for some people not playing golf has been a huge issue and it's no surprise, obviously, that golf sites and companies and are reporting all of their services and slot times have been completely booked up, because people have been stuck indoors, and are desperate to get out. i'm just going to let sam get the final word. golf, tennis, anything is on your list was ill and pleased about the tennis. i like to have a little knock—about in the local park, but

golf, i can't think of anything more boring. agreed. writes, that's unanimous then. sam, laura, thank you both. that is it for the papers this hour. 0ur our thanks to laura and sam. goodbye for now. hello there, i'm 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre. we've heard from some high—profile players over the past 24 hours voicing their concerns about the resumption of the premier league. raheem sterling says for the safety for everyone of the ball, notjust the players, has to be guaranteed. the disproportionate death rate in the bame community is also a major concern for players and their families. i've spoken to trey townsend, who's son is the crystal palace forward, andros. i love watching my son play football. that goes without saying. i love watching his team play and i love every aspect football brings, but these are uncertain times,

and ultimately i don't want to be watching him with a worry right across my face. and that's what i think it would be at the moment because there is uncertainty. what are we allowing him to go back into and what are we allowing his team—mates and obviously anyone that plays this game, what are we allowing them to go back into? unfortunately, we've seen some stats come out where it seems that more people from the black and ethnic minority communities have been affected the virus, which then puts another kind of worry on the lines of my head. so, yeah, i've got to be honest, i don't think i could watch the game comfortably any more if we do go back anytime soon. you're worried about what he's walking away from and what he's going back into and what he may be opening his family up to as well. i'm concerned about that. that's got to be a worry for anybody connected to a player who may have to put themselves into that

situation, which is a situation of worry. for me, if it's september, if it's 0ctober, just talking about a situation where players will feel comfortable, then so be it. and like i said, because i got a couple of angles on this, i just cannot visualise watching players out on a football pitch, and particularly my own son, while this uncertainty continues. i cannot visualise it. so if that means that ultimately, if that means we have to shut up shop, null and void. unfortunately, i would rather that than people losing lives unnecessarily, and that's why i say it is unnecessary to put people in that situation. well, official protocols for the first phase of group training have been sent to premier league managers and players. social distancing guidelines must still be followed, so tackling will be banned, with no training group to exceed five players. cornerflags, balls, cones, goalposts, even the playing surfaces will be disinfected after each session.

they will be twice weekly testing, daily pretraining questionnaires, and temperature checks. league bosses hope that this level of training can start next monday. the majority of scottish clubs have voted against an independent investigation into the scottish league. rangers had put forward the proposal following their concerns over the spfl‘s handling of a ballot last month that saw all divisions below the premiership scrapped. here is our scotland sports news correspondent, chris mcglocklin. well, it is a vote result that was pretty much expected. it was not expected to pass. remember, it needed 32 of the 42 clubs to fall in favour. that was always going to be tricky. in the end, just 13 voted in favour of that resolution brought by rangers, hearts. does not mean this is the end of it. the spfl have put out a statement asking for clubs to come together.

because there's been so much rancour, so much infighting in the lead up to this, i would be surprised if we have seen the end of the infighting in the spfl and in scottish football. the four time formula i world champion, sebastian, is going to leave ferrari at the end of the season when his contract expires. he had only moderate success since joining the team in 2015. he was outperformed by his team—mate, john leclair, last year. the german said "the team and i realised that there is no longer a common desire to stay together." that's all your support for now. hello there. yesterday we had some particularly cold air arrived across northern scotland. it was even cold enough for some may snow. now, that is particularly chilly air that was

brought in by this cold front, which continues to move south. there is no snow on the front any more, just a little bit of light patchy rain that is fizzling is different move southwards, but the front is introducing some slightly cooler air, so temperatures will be dropping across eastern england just bya dropping across eastern england just by a few degrees. now come at the moment, we have got something about reverse the fortunes compared with last night, with cloudy skies for northern ireland, england and wales commits a largely frost free picture here come a weather for northern england and scotland. here, it's much colder night than it was last night, with the widespread frost to start the day on wednesday. but it is across these areas yes, it's frosty, but it should be a sunny start for many. northern ireland, england and wales starting off quite cloudy, but the cloud thins and brea ks cloudy, but the cloud thins and breaks in some sunny spells coming through, few showers at times across northern and eastern coastal areas. colder across eastern england, the day's type temperature from about 14 degrees.
