hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are columnist for the daily mirror — susie boniface and michael booker— the deputy editor of daily express. tomorrow's front pages, starting with ‘schools to defy unions and reopen next month' reads the front page of the times — as it reports that four school academy chains are planning to reopen to pupils next month. doctors say that reopening schools on the 1st ofjune is too dangerous, reports the guardian. the i leads too on back to school plans, which the paper describes as being ‘in turmoil‘, with parents y for children to return, and teaching unions still not convinced on safety after meeting with uk science advisers. on the front page of the financial times, more detail on demands from unions
11:32 pm
for the government to model how many black and asian teachers are likely to die as a result of lifting the lockdown. and the situation with schools is also leading on the front page of the daily mirror, which describes back to school plans as being ‘in chaos‘. the daily mail leads on news that hospital admissions for coronavirus have halved since the pandemic‘s peak — as revealed by the head of the nhs. a photo on the front page of the telegraph shows a family enjoying ice creams on the beach at scarborough, after the easing of lockdown restrictions in england this week mean people are able to enjoy unlimited time outdoors. so let's begin. think you forjoining us this evening. let us start with you and the guardian. the front page here showing the stray that many from
11:33 pm
pages are tomorrow. reopening schools on the 1st ofjune is too dangerous a doctor to stop the british medical association has thrown its way behind teacher unions who have been very vocal and opposing government plans to reopen schools for some pupils onjune the 1st. yes and what the science of those who have contracted covid—19 so far does seem to show that children are least affected part of our society, they are not the only people that are involved in schools. you have people and canteens, teachers, teachers assistance, pa rents of teachers, teachers assistance, parents of the school gates and all those people and anyone who knows that it those people and anyone who knows thatitis those people and anyone who knows that it is a walking biological wa rfa re that it is a walking biological warfare experiment and all of them have families. they may include diabetics, cancer victims and you can't just say that because children are not to affected by coronavirus that you can do is open schools. ,
11:34 pm
they don't have children that are picked up and dropped off and so there's an awful lot of grown—ups, and a lot of questions we do not know about ethnic people and how thatis know about ethnic people and how that is going to have an impact on teachers or pupils further down the road and i speak as a parent, i want my child to go back to school. i know teachers that want to go back to teaching. i don't want anything to teaching. i don't want anything to happen if we do not know at the risk is and there is no modelling in the government has not been able to tell them that they have any data to show that this is safe particularly. i have information in derby that one primary school has been closed down due to a case of coronavirus cases that have come to light well it's just been teaching the children of key workers in vulnerable people. schools are not in some coronavirus
11:35 pm
protected bubble. that coronavirus cannot get through. there's still a number of problems and if you do not know what the risks are, you really should be asking people to take them. perhaps one argument can be to reopen schools spirit to give people the choice as to whether or not you wa nt the choice as to whether or not you want them to attend if they feel that they don't have any underlying conditions or if they feel their kids related to going school compared to others, may be giving pa rents a compared to others, may be giving parents a choice to be an answer? people in certain occupations have been going to school. in my family, my brothers is the headmaster of a special school and he has been going throughout this, looking after vulnerable kids. so, there have been some who have had that their children in schools during this and i think it is difficult because if you do put the choice out there, some are going to say yes and others
11:36 pm
are going to say no. and the reason is there going to be kids queuing up outside of the school with their parents is going to be some schools that will not have any people to look after them. so come i think this system that has to be, sorted by them. we have the organisation all in agreement with each other at the moment and you do not want to get to the idea and i think it's already been alluded to in some papers that this is a left—wing union problem during this deliberately to try to get know if the government plans to reopen the economy. i think at the moment, giving them the benefit of the doubt, they're doing what they can to assuage the fears of not just parents but teachers as well and this is not been going very long. it feels like a long time we have been in lockdown and for all of us, it is. it is only been a few months and
11:37 pm
we do not know everything that we need to know about this disease and it is right that people are taking it is right that people are taking it very careful in the other side of things we have the health minister today saying that he would not back this plan if he wasn't sure that it was safe. so, we're hearing all of this and it isjust was safe. so, we're hearing all of this and it is just about was safe. so, we're hearing all of this and it isjust about getting confidence back slowly, it may have come too soon, but i think there is enough support that people do want to get back into the schools of the next couple of weeks, confidence will grow and you may see more of a movement towards that. seems to be a different take care, the commissioner has published research on nhs nurseries which show that they remained open through the peak of the absolute peak and then suffered any coronavirus related outbreaks and she is quoted as saying we cannot afford to wait for a vaccine which may never arrive before children are back in school.
11:38 pm
that place again for mike was saying that perhaps was a confidence issue for people. i don't think it we can be quite confident what matt hancock assert enough because it is absolutely certain that 70 million antibody test they spent a lot of money on were going to work and that the ppe was going to be up to scratch and i did not work. she is right when she is saying that people do want to get their children back to school, teachers do want to teach again. but the children of nhs professionals a re again. but the children of nhs professionals are going to have perhaps slightly different attitudes towards social distancing or hygiene than children or your average human being. what happened in the nhs nurseries, which may well have been in nhs setting as well, hospital for example, may be entirely different to what happens to any sort of avid city or town nursery. i am desperate for my children go back to nursery
11:39 pm
but my concern is not so much what happened to her but what would happened to her but what would happen to the ladies who work at the nursery and other children and families there who've got some vulnerable people with them. if you do not know what the risks are, but really should not be taking them. and yet, susie in the times come on the front page there, it says that the front page there, it says that the countries biggest primary school chains want to open. they're prepared to defy teaching unions and they are backing the government plans. and they do not send this article on may primary schools as organisations are present. they are chained so there's more than one in each of these groups, but there are 16,769 primary schools alone in england and that is not all of these chains, they are not even within a cats whiskers having anything like a significant proportion of that. and so, it is all very well to say that some chains, say they're happy but
11:40 pm
other primary schools of other issues perhaps with social distancing, with classrooms that are not the right side, they may have plans of ben's applications for improvements refurbishment. if her children being about 15 to a classroom and opening up about 15 to a classroom and opening up of the rooms that you do not have, how you going to do that? the may be some schools orjust do not open and as mentioned in the earlier paper review last hour, there is a confidence issue are not confident and if the government does not lead, if the government is not firm, or if the government does not appear to know exactly what it is doing, or have any data or doing things that are reliable and which proved to work out and the long term, which we haven't seen you in this pandemic, then why would anyone have confidence what they say? deity that
11:41 pm
is the case, michael? —— do you think? i think the been too good about staying at home and looking after the nhs and saving lives. they have scared a lot of people and getting the confidence back, talking by baby steps, i think a lot of people are being like young children because they have not got the confidence in the world and i think we are all going to have to grow again to trust each other, trust people out in the street in dc on the street every day, people are giving each other that and rightly so giving each other that and rightly so but i think that, you see that in one relationships, a lot of us have that type of relationship of the country would decide to get that confidence back and act like we are human again and we have been told to keep our instincts, our normal
11:42 pm
instincts and recover and stay inside, i pick is going to take a little while longer than june the 1st to have the full confidence but the schools are going to have to open at some point and we have been told of her going to live with this disease for quite some time now, possibly at the next year and we will possibly have some form forever and so we're going to have to open things up eventually. let us move the daily mail, the chief of the nhs says hospital virus cases plunging, do you think this is proof that the governments plan is worked? know. nothing the government has done his work because the government waited 53 days to have lockdown. had they enacted the on the date the imperial couege enacted the on the date the imperial college and of university research is on the same day came on the same day came and suggested lockdown because of the massive exponential growth curve would have been stopped and we could've been a out of lockdown by now. we would've had
11:43 pm
fewer deaths, less economic impact it would not be having the arguments now between right and left in for unions and government and what is safe and what is not. it is great news that this phone number of cases in hospitals, but they're continuing cases of care homes for the most vulnerable people, continue to community transmission, there are bricks in primary schools, the revelations today and the times about how ministers are told two weeks before there were risks because there was transmission. if government was not telling the entire truth to itself, it would appearand did not entire truth to itself, it would appear and did not act properly or did not think things through. the lighter they misbehave. and so people have died as a of that. it is just not, nothing the government is done so far has been a great plan. the policy is absolutely fantastic, it works really well, it was incredibly cheap and now they've pulled the rug out of it and decided
11:44 pm
to stop funding it eight weeks into lockdown and cindy got a thousand people in manchester alone to be a co nsta nt people in manchester alone to be a constant presence on every train station by station in the same story is told throughout the uk that is on this problem. it is insane some of the things they are doing stuff by deeding the government is been dishonest? i am not sure why we're talking about the honesty of the government and the honesty over the trying to do looking at this page in particular, it is a bit of good news and it is not great news for everything but it is a sign that things are getting better and the dishonesty or not, i don't think they have been dishonest particularly in dealing with this it is the word we keep on talking about but clearly they have not got everything right, they've not get everything right, they've not get everything wrong at the same time. the judgement at the end of all of
11:45 pm
this, but in this particular story, this, but in this particular story, this particular front page, the nhs says that things, we're not out of the woods yet, it may not be that other people with other conditions get into the hospitals and that can only be a good thing there will be huge waiting list because they had to cancel many various things instead because we've had to deal with this pandemic we are still dealing with it but the capacity in hospital stuff other operations, to look at cancer and other things like that and i think that is a bit of good news. ithink that and i think that is a bit of good news. i think when we have the big question and answer session at the end of the big judgements, this particular front page, i of the good news. let us talk about the telegraph, noticed her that we are interested in. ministers insist that it is ready for national launch, a tracking app to remind viewers was being trialed in the isle of wight and we have not heard much about it
11:46 pm
since the trial began. we have heard from brandon lewis today come that the 18,000 people they needed to recruit in order to run the tracing side of that app, which if you do have some symptoms or contact with others, you need a human being, a tracer to review and find out who all of your contacts are in chase the fires. a 2000 people of the need to recruit for that like at 1500 and so, the decision they're rolling out the app next week seems a little premature although of course, having an app that would work will be absolutely brilliant and as far as the main story in the papers about schools going back, children don't all have, especially primary school, don't all have smartphones. and if a teacher and school is in contact with children who may have someone with children who may have someone with coronavirus, that teachers are going to have a smartphone or bluetooth that will ping them to know that there is a problem. and
11:47 pm
homes who do not have smartphones and teenagers and those over the 55 to 64 do on smartphones. engaging the community with over 40% of population, it is less likely that we have that. it does not that kind of penetration, it may not be as successful as we would all like to be. 15 million stir crazy britons on the move. the real thing 50 million are going to be moving around this weekend? going out to split that up in estimates that people will be looking to get out of their houses finally come to the first big weekend after the lockdown was eased, i think there is an idea that a lot of people will be going into paths, going at beaches, places like that and i ms not sure that's going to be the case, the bill be a great
11:48 pm
deal of sense about this still a lot of people who have not got the confidence to go out and about and fully integrated with society and the people do not want you to do that. will be seen by most people, we are seeing pictures of read today that are in the paper, and tomorrow's paper were people are gathering on beaches but they seem to be doing things correctly stop staying within the family groups, they not mixing in any packs other people. and many people have god differs first week number they can actually have this unlimited exercise and i think we can trust the british people but the supplies to england, we can trust the english people to look after each other and that we have done all the way through this thing. so fingers crossed tomorrow that it won't be as bad, but we had this morning a few times various bank holidays during this pandemic and people are behaving themselves i suspect
11:49 pm
everyone will do the same tomorrow. let us talk about the ft, brits urge to binge on strawberries as a lack of summer events sparks fears. and we can talk about how much we love strawberries and that there will be loads of them. except the prices cannot get any worse. this ownership of the 2000 tonnes of strawberries drawing for events which is about 33 tonnes of strawberries year. but also major sporting events and these are soft fruit, the men raspberries and so on, they will be going to spoil if there isn't any way of getting those into the food chain. some people are being encouraged to eat as much as possible which is absolutely fine with me. but as much 32, under 32 tonnes —— 132,000 32, under 32 tonnes ——132,000 tonnes and i means to many more tonnes and i means to many more tonnes of strawberries we have a lot tonnes of strawberries we have a lot to work our way through. tonnes of strawberries we have a lot to work our way throughlj tonnes of strawberries we have a lot to work our way through. i cannot believe that many strawberries gets
11:50 pm
sold at these events. is very middle—class thing. and my diet during this hasjust been, i think it's been processed meats. cypher goblet strawberries of the right ones, aren't they? i forgot what fruit looks like. they said this can be huge advertising campaign and we are all going to hear about strawberries, some an escorted and that that they had a drive—through strawberry shop as well for social distancing a drive—through strawberries, one, this is fantastic. you can get trade through anything this days. but on a serious note —— drive through. the seasonal flu pictures who come and work through —— other european countries as well. the farmers are providing all of the stuff, but spent the past few months growing and bringing on
11:51 pm
strawberries of the winter, this is where they make their money for the entire year. so, if they cannot sell and wimbledon charges an absolute fortune for strawberries. if they cannot sell that soft fruit within the space of the business, it is justjune, the period of a few weeks, then the doctors to weights, those forms is that money. farmers wa nt to those forms is that money. farmers want to go to go to the wall and there's going to need to be some serious work done to ensure that that fruit can get to someone and be sold and if not, make a lot ofjam. iam sold and if not, make a lot ofjam. i am still worried about your diet. evenif i am still worried about your diet. even if you just eat meat. it is easy, there's a lot of processed meat around here, ijust. where are you? on a meat farm? he has been locked in a cowboy bordello by the look of it. nothing wrong with the little meat. everything in moderation, right guys? it has been an absolute pleasure to have you on the programme thank you for having
11:52 pm
the programme thank you for having the time to talk to us and thank you for taking the time to watch the papers. hello, you're watching bbc news named catherine for the very latest for bbc sport centre. lead to clubs have reached an agreement to end their season. students we ratified next week in the clubs will be voting to confirm the decision. a sports news correspondentjoins me earlier to explain more. what they wa nt to earlier to explain more. what they want to do is decide the final standings on the points per game system. with that would mean is that swing to the town would actually be the champions. they would leap frog crew at the top of the table but crucially, there will be no change
11:53 pm
to the three teams, but they would also be trying to keep the playoffs going ahead for the final promotion spot. again, there will be no change to the four teams in the playoff spots, there would still be teams in northampton. the other would be no cloud gets relegated with that would mean is stephen aj, the bottom of the table which would still be bottom of the table under the new system, they would survive for another season. although they still need to be ratified by the football league meeting next week. the league, why they decided to curtail their season? they decided that planing behind closed doors would simply be too costly. they do not have the tv deal that the premier kalle. their land ticket sales really for their income comes on the stadium is a real problem for them. also, another clips of furloughed so they will not be able to use that
11:54 pm
scheme in the stadium is a real problem for them. also, another clips of furloughed so they will not be able to use that scheme any more and because of the pay for the testing of their players for coronavirus. stephen h for example says that they thought testing would cause the mantra £40,000 and ultimately they decided that completing the season just wasn't financially viable. a decision to end up from membership sentencing will be finalised until next week after a meeting —— season. in early and would mean leaders celtic were crowned the champions in the hearts relegated on the points per game basis. premier league clubs the set for monday when players may be able to return to group training under strict social distancing roles. limited to individual sessions and so this will be the next step towards restarting with the leak which would be good news for liverpool for 25 points clear of the table and managing that they appreciate the steps that had to be taken before appreciate the steps that had to be ta ken before any appreciate the steps that had to be taken before any as possible. we all have to face the same problems and
11:55 pm
make sure that we do the right things, obviously. but in the moment, but we can start again in the premier league will organise another clubs have to organise it with all of the things are training would not be a thread for anybody because when we start, everything else on the pictures of the players. i think that the premier league grounds would be the safest place in training routes to be the same in europe. he conceived the same with the special feature on his formative yea rs of the special feature on his formative years of player and coach in germany. that is bbc one from 12 o'clock there could be two grand prix held its interest in the summer as f1 revises its calendar to try to fit ina as f1 revises its calendar to try to fit in a full season of races. a deal is been struck with the owners of the circuit to hold two races in july, but behind closed doors but it all depends on government approval and the impact of the two week quarantine period for international

11:57 pm
this morning and place cannot be accompanied by one member of their tea m accompanied by one member of their team and there's the coach tweeting the picture. anyone entering the site must also consult a doctor and have the temperature taken. and that is all of the sport. good evening. it certainly has been a week of contrasts. we start off with a cloudy, cool note, that northeasterly flow 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 40 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,
11:58 pm
as well, and still pretty windy here with gusts in excess of 40 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 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
11:59 pm
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 with us, meaning widely we will see those temperatures perhaps peaking at 21 celsius for glasgow, 24 celsius for birmingham, but highest values possible of 25 celsius. take care.
