sniff out a systematic people. —— elaborate doodle. they are hoping to do over georgia people test a day. these could be set up outside of a ca re these could be set up outside of a care home. —— 250 people. they have that might come down if you are the after our problems when people will cool over a dog, being snuffed out. orvomit cool over a dog, being snuffed out. or vomit over it. it is just a another arm in this, hopefully. hopefully it is not a just a good headline. and there is some substance behind it. it is more than just eventually sick socks. this is the trial of the moment. but we did everything we can to fight this thing and when not get our canine friends to help? move on to the daily express. i want to bring in, michael. the front page of your paper. 15 million stir crazy britons on the move. this weekend, weather will be nice and every week and we have this problem. we think about what will people do it with a
10:47 pm
socially distance. now they are allowed to travel to take their exercise and unlimited exercise with the with a study to be careful according to the article. yes. there will be a temptation to get out there. we have now got the unlimited exercise. people can travel, there are pictures that have been around today already of the breaches seem today already of the breaches seem to be more of people going out there and enjoying being able to sunbathe. we will have people going to beauty spots but i think the advice that we've always got to remember is that to social distance. it is common sense. it is what the prime minister did say earlier in the week. people have got common sense. people as we know, i think we have seen some polling which suggests people that still are worried that lockdown is being loosened too quickly. there is this temptation for some people to ta ke this temptation for some people to take it a little bit too far, get too close to other people but i do think the majority of people are still very concerned about this. in

the majority of people have had people affected by this love ones that i commit they take it very seriously. the hopefully the rest of the briton will take it very seriously too. what is your take, susie? they have a picture of a family ona susie? they have a picture of a family on a beach enjoying ice cream. people are going to go out if the weather is nice, aren't they wa nt to the weather is nice, aren't they want to go and enjoy a bit of outdoor life and sunshine. do you think people do have the common sense necessary to stay away from each other or do you think this is a big worry? i think to be honest when you have a prime minister who has announced publicly in parliament and on television to the world that you can go wherever you like and then later say that doesn't include scotla nd later say that doesn't include scotland and wales and of an island, think you have local authorities where i live in the southeast and the beach—side town simply so come here. —— northern ireland. you have a complete disconnect between what is allowed and what is not allowed
10:49 pm
and what is not advice and what is advised, and people are going to get confuse. if you have the fundamental and bigger picture here, it is a lack of leadership. we have not had this chilean leader we need and want, somebody to unite us and buying him because he says something and somebody else immediately sort of counteracts that in some way. if you have a prime minister who says you have a prime minister who says you can go over you like, and the rules have been relaxed, when you have got the association of chief police officers asking for advice because they cannot possibly arrest anybody now for going to a beach, and get you have the people who run those beaches saying we were close to him and not reopen them and were there will not be lifeguards, over andi there will not be lifeguards, over and i have the car parks operating, and i have the car parks operating, and we don't want you to come, thank you very much. it is madness. if you have to have a situation we have a government that is released a 50 page manual on how to get out of lockdown and what the rules are and explain to get out, and then in the wa ke explain to get out, and then in the wake of that the prime minister has
10:50 pm
the says don't listen to me, follow your own common sense, and then mix right, he would have common sense andi right, he would have common sense and i said from the beginning that you will never get anything else from this light, so rely on that. it is not the way to lead out of a crisis. -- is not the way to lead out of a crisis. —— from this lot. is not the way to lead out of a crisis. -- from this lot. i'm afraid we have run out of time. thank you both for talking to us. you will be backin both for talking to us. you will be back in ourtime both for talking to us. you will be back in our time for uk viewers for more papers. thank you and see you in an hour. thank you for watching. that is it for the papers. susie and michael will be back at half past 11. michael will be back at half past ii. for now, goodbye. hello, you are watching bbc news and i am catherine downs with the latest for you from bbc sports. league 2 to clubs have today reached an agreement
10:51 pm
to end their season, it still needs to be ratified by the efl and fa next week and then the clubs will vote to confirm their decision. here is our correspondent talking earlier. they want to decide the final standings the final standings on an average points per game system which would mean that swindon town would be the champions. they would leapfrog trail at the top of the table but crucially there have been no change for the teams winning the automatic promotion. it would still be swindon, crewe and plymouth. they want to keep the playoffs going ahead for the final promotion spot and there will be no change for the four teams in the playoff spots. it would still be exeter, cheltenham, colchester and northampton. the other big proposal is no club gets relegated which means that stevenage bottom of the table and will still be bottom of the table under the new system
10:52 pm
would survive for another season, almost those still needing to be ratified by a football league meeting next week. why have they decided to curtail their season? they decided playing behind closed doors would be too costly, they do not have the tv deal the premier league have and rely on ticket sales so no fans in the stadium is a problem for them and a lot of clubs have furloughed their players, so they will not be able to use that scheme any more and clubs would have to pay for the testing of their players for coronavirus. stevenanage said it would cost them £145,000 and said they decided completing the season was not financially viable. meanwhile a decision to end their scottish premiership season will not be finalised until next week after a meeting of clubs, discussions were held by video conference today and early end would mean leaders, celtic are champions and hearts are relegated by per game basis.
10:53 pm
the next meeting of premier league clubs is set for monday when players may be able to return to group training under strict social distancing rules. they have been limited to individual sessions and this would be the next step to restarting the league, which is good news for liverpool 25 points clear at the top of and manager jurgen klopp said he appreciates the steps that need to be taken. we all have the same problems and we have to make sure that we do the right things obviously and in the moment, when we can start again and the premier league will organise it and all that training will not be a threat for anybody because when we start, there will be enough space on the pitches for the players so i think the premier league grounds will be the safest training grounds in europe. and you can see the full interview with jurgen klopp on football focus tomorrow as well as a special feature

on his formative years as a player and coach in germany, that is on bbc one from 12pm tomorrow. there could be two grand prix held at silverstone this summer as fi revises its calendar to try to fit in a full season of races. a deal has been struck woth the owners of the races to hold two races injuly, but behind closed doors but it all depends on government approval and the impact that the proposed two week quarantine period for international arrivals to the uk. we know what we are doing and know how to put on a race and operationally i know we can do this. we are unfamiliar with the new medical environment said there is a lot of work that needs to go into that. so there is still a lot of work to be done, this is farfrom a given, and this is subject to government approval but in principle, formula i and silverstone would like to run two races if the climate allows.

really having an impact on the feel of the weather, with temperatures struggling perhaps in some places to get into double figures. then we had clear skies and night—time frost. in actualfact in northern ireland, it was the lowest may minimum for nearly a0 years. however, slowly but surely, the temperatures have recovered a little, and we close out the week with one or two of us seeing potentially 20 celsius. high pressure will dominate across england and wales, but as we move into the weekend, this weather front will bring more significant rain, particularly to the extreme northwest. we start off saturday with some showers across scotland, a few showers into northern ireland, 1—2 maybe into northwest england, as well, and still pretty windy here with gusts in excess of a0 mph. sunny spells across england and wales, and in the sunshine it will still feel pleasantly warm — 17—18 celsius not out of the question. the more significant rain arrives as we go into sunday. for some in the highlands and islands, we could see 50 mm, a couple inches of rain here. and it will be windy with it, too. for northern ireland
10:57 pm
and eastern scotland, the rain is lighter and patchier, but england and wales the rain is lighter and patchier, but england and wales a degree or so warmer. we could see temperatures peaking at 21 celsius. now that weather front will continue to drift its way north and east, so as we head into monday, it means that the northern isles may well see a pretty disappointing day. but a slow improvement for all with showers across the northwest, but sunny spells starting to come through. and into the afternoon, it will be pleasant and a degree or so warmer still, high teens likely across england and wales, 22 celsius the highest value here — not quite as warm in the northern isles under that cloud and rain. tuesday will be drier and warmer still, pretty much across the country a pleasant day. and as we head through the middle part of the week, that's when we are likely to see potentially the warmest of the weather. the high pressure really building itself, drifting slowly eastwards. but this weak weather front may well trigger off a few sharp showers into the north yet again. however, the wind direction is driving up this warm air from the south, and it'll stay
