keith doyle has the latest. with some restrictions in england relaxed, after weeks of being confined to the local area, people may feel they deserve a day out, and many took advantage of the good weather. about one hour. that led to busy beaches and trafficjams at beauty spots stop being able to track and trace new coronavirus cases is key to the government's strategy to relax the restrictions further. prime minister... in the commons, the prime minister promised what he called would be a "world heating tracing system from the start ofjune." heating tracing system from the start ofjune." we will have an operation that will be world beating, and yes, it will be in place, it will be in place, byjune the first. but in a letter to the health secretary, the organisation representing nhs providers said it should have been in place to know. the nhs confederation warns time is running out to finalise a test,

track and trace strategy to avoid a potential second surge of infections. it says it should be in place before any further easing of the lockdown, warning that if it isn't, then the rafa medications —— ramifications for the nhs and its patients could be severe. later today, the scottish first minister nicola sturgeon will give details of the rout map or how scotland will gradually ease the lockdown, although no set dates are expected. right now what we believe in is getting families back together. i think over the next few weeks we will begin to see some loosening. we know for example, outdoors are safer than indoors, so you expect us to maybe do that first. we know small groups are safer than larger groupings, so you would expect us to do that first. the number of deaths in the uk of people with coronavirus

increased by 363, 2/30 5700. many of those were nhs workers, but the government's bereavement scheme to help theirfamilies government's bereavement scheme to help their families didn't cover support roles. this hospital cleaner appeal directly to the prime minister to extend it. if i die fighting coronavirus, my partner isn't allowed indefinite leave to remain. the government has now included support workers in the scheme but there are calls for it to do more, to give further if guards and benefits to foreign nhs workers we re and benefits to foreign nhs workers were putting themselves at risk from the virus. the dail, bbc news. —— keith doyle, bbc news. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminsterfor us. chris, the government is confident the test, track and trace system will be in place soon? why is it so important and what does that mean? morning to you, naga. it's crucial in this next stage because the government says it can push down the number of cases

flowing around of the virus, then it becomes visible again to try and isolate little pockets when they burst out. —— becomes possible again, seaward test and track people who have met somebody you has tested —— who has tested positive and isolate them so doesn't spread on. but to take that requires some preparation. one of the ideas was to have an app, that would act effectively as a tracer because electronically it would be able to tell who we got close to. that is still in the offing, there has been a trial on the isle of wight but it's not ready yet. it won't be ready for a few weeks yet. the government now seeing as we were hearing from keith, they are hoping to have the basis of this system up and running in a couple of weeks but there is real concern from those who know what they are talking about in the nhs about whether it is being set up in the right way and quickly

enough. 0k, set up in the right way and quickly enough. ok, so you have explained that. the other point of pressure on the government is coles about waiving the nhs surcharge for some foreign health workers, where is that now? big pressure now and some concerns from mps keen to see this change as well. at the moment foreign workers have to pay a surcharge to use the nhs, about £400 a year, it's due to go up to 600 quid or more a year, and there is a desire for it to be gotten rid of it. later says it should go. yesterday the prime ministers that it would be too expensive to get rid of it. one conservative mp said he would back labour, and it looks like privately quite a few of us could decide tojoin him, the privately quite a few of us could decide to join him, the argument being the country and government should show generosity of spirit for those working in health and social care. chris, as was good to see you. thank you very much. you later. —— a lwa ys thank you very much. you later. —— always good to see you, thank you very much. see you later.

we'll be speaking to the security ministerjames brokenshire ataround 7:30am. the head of the world health organization has warned there's still a long way to go before the coronavirus pandemic is over. he made the remarks as the un agency reported over 100,000 new infections — the biggest rise in a single day. it's feared as much as £i.5 billion may have been lost in fraudulent claims for universal credit during the lockdown. benefit officials believe some organised crime groups and individuals may have taken advantage of changes introduced to ensure claims are paid quickly. the department for work and pensions says it monitors benefit fraud very closely. 11 people are being questioned over the murder of a teenage law student who was killed in a drive—by shooting. police believe 19—year—old aya hachem was not the intended target of the attack, in blackburn on sunday. herfather ismail said his daughter had big dreams and everybody she met liked her. he also spoke of the moment police

arrived at his door after her death. she said, i'm dying. my wife so don't say it like that. i started crying. all my dreams, aya. one of the most powerful storms in south asia in the last 20 years has killed at least 15 people in eastern india and bangladesh. more than 15 million people were evacuated before the cyclone made landfall. but coronavirus restrictions are making emergency and relief efforts difficult. a husband who wrote a poem for his wife every day for 25 years has shared his collection of love letters online. peter gordon left a note under his wife alison's pillow every night. he continues to write her love poems, even after she passed away in 2016. his family have now put his poems online to mark the fourth anniversary of alison's death.

that's so lovely. that's so lovely. it's 6:09am. there's been lots of debate over plans to allow more pupils back to school in england on june the 1st. teachers say they're trying to balance the importance of education with the need to keep everyone safe. a meeting of government advisors is expected to discuss the latest evidence when it meets later today. breakfast‘s tim muffett has been to one nursery, which has stayed open for the children of key workers, to see what measures are in place there. a fresh start, adapting a nursery to cater for a fresh start, adapting a nursery to caterfor a pandemic. a fresh start, adapting a nursery to cater for a pandemic. the children have to wash their hands on arrival. drop—off is at the front door, so a staff member will come and collect them rather than going into the nursery. musgrave nursery and thornton has stayed open for the children of key workers. staff hope

lessons learned here could be useful for other nurseries. so far we haven't really focused on social distancing between children, we have allowed them to play. one of the main things children learn in nurseries is to play with other children. but we have been looking at staff contact. so if staff can base themselves out, at least a two metres, then we think adult— adult transmission might be kept down. this nursery has found if staff wear face masks, it doesn't work was that the children don't like them, they pulled them down because they want to see how we are speaking. and they are learning how to speak. so we have piloted them but we aren't running them. some local secondary schools have used 3d modelling to make visors, and mean if a child sta rts make visors, and mean if a child starts to cough and has a temperature in front of you, you could put this on and then protect yourself from the cough. if we could let these be in the environment so they can see them, they wouldn't be so frightened if they have to see a member of staff using them. you

won't routinely going to use these. no. what you will use them. sofitel does start to cough and feel ill, we can takea does start to cough and feel ill, we can take a child to the side room, then the other children won't be so frightened. lower numbers that this nursery may have —— at this nursery have meant it has been easier to ta ke have meant it has been easier to take care of the children, higher numbers might make it more difficult. if we have to encourage children to separate more once we are 70% occupied, we have put some spacing measures in place. kids can use cuddly toys, and they will be washed afterwards. most of the focus is on door handles and tablets staff manage. those are where the adults are going to keep touching the same thing. parents believe the approach she has worked well. i've seen the progression of the steps they have been taking and actually i think

they are doing the best they can and it's great. i think it would be a good thing for them to get back to normality, but obviously we need to keep everyone safe as well. so as long as it is done in the right way. although this nursery has been running forfarfewer although this nursery has been running for far fewer than normal, it has a taste of the challenges ahead. for those who have been closed completely, reopening will meana closed completely, reopening will mean a whole new rethink. we'll put some stations zakhia. this nursery has been closed for weeks. we had to think about a lot of changes, obviously, when we reopen. things are going to be very different for us. organising the group the children into bubbles so are only spending time with the same children every single day, but the groups will be small and we won't have very many at the table. the hand washing scenario is reinforced of the time. staff are being advised by other

nurseries in the same chain that have stayed open for the children of key workers. it's really hard to know how it's going to be and it does cause quite a lot of worry for us, working in the nurseries, because, you know, it's not going to because, you know, it's not going to be the same as it was before and we're just trying to make sure we're all here for the children. a steep learning curve awaits. tim muffett, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. we are hearing about one of the most powerful storms to hit eastern india and bangladesh for some 20 years. our reporter arun dave mukerjee is in delhi right now. tell us about how the storms are manifested themselves? are going what we do know is 12 people have lost their lives in india and the cyclone made landfall about 2:30pm and lasted for nearly 6.5 hours. it lifted trail of destruction and the state the bore

the brunt is the state of west bengal where the chief minister has said the losses are estimated to be $13 million. she even went on to say this is perhaps worse than the current crisis of the pandemic that the state has been dealing with. what we do know from eyewitnesses and officials is that the real sense of assessment will only happen over the next two days because a lot of the next two days because a lot of the areas are in the interior. some of the content —— connectivity has been hampered because of the cyclone. the city of kolkata with nearly 15 million people has not had electricity since yesterday evening. many say mud houses, buildings have been severely damaged. wind speeds reached up to 185 kilometres an hour and this is the worst they've seen in nearly 20 yea rs. the worst they've seen in nearly 20 years. they are still counting the losses but like i said, officials will take some more time as electric poles have been uprooted, trees of

all and poles have been uprooted, trees of alland a poles have been uprooted, trees of all and a lot of the casualties are from flying object when it actually crashed into homes and even people, causing maximum damage. thank you very much. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mirror is among many of today's front pages to carry photos of people flocking to britain's beaches in the sunshine yesterday. the headline reads "trace against time" which describes the government target to track 10—thousand new cases of coronavirus a day, by 1stjune — which is also when schools in england are expected to re—open. the times reports on the fall in hospital admissions for those with coronavirus. it says the figure has dropped below 10,000 for the first time since the start of the lockdown. the paper also carries a picture of migrants using a dingy to cross

the channel from france. the daily express leads on reports that health secretary matt hancock is promising a new "war on obesity" after figures showed a link between diabetes and coronavirus deaths. the paper says the prime minister is leading by example and features a photo of borisjohnson in his gym gear. the scotsman leads on plans by first minister nicola sturgeon to unveil a four—phase ‘routemap' detailing how scotland will move out of lockdown, after deaths from the virus fell for the third week in a row. the picture is of a police officer patrolling portabello beach in edinburgh yesterday on the hottest day of the year so far. lovely stories on the inside pages as well. charlie, a question of the morning. i know you look forward to it. is it a quiz? just a question. are you lucky in raffles? no. do you enter? occasionally but i've never won anything. maybe you're not entering enough. if the raffle prize

was 3 million euros on the ticket was 3 million euros on the ticket was 100 euros. 100 euros per ticket. but the prize would be worth 3 million. would you enter? without wishing to sound where 3 million euros paid the owner of the work 900,000 euros. sell the tickets at 100 euros, 50,000 tickets we re tickets at 100 euros, 50,000 tickets were sold. the what they are hoping is more people with these expensive artworks or potential prizes will donate them for charities to raise money. my question was about how many tickets were sold. it's one and £50,000 chance of winning £3

million. yes. which is good. to get that beautiful picasso. beautiful. we talking quite a bit about what people are doing as the weather has improved. this is not weather—related but people may have seen these cues, as some mcdonald's outlets have open for drive—through. extensive cues. a lot of people prepared to wait a long time. extensive cues. a lot of people prepared to wait a long timelj extensive cues. a lot of people prepared to wait a long time. i was the radio and someone called in on this gentleman said he made a round trip of 100 miles because it was his wife's birthday, 100 miles to get mcdonald's and bring it back. necessary journey? naga mcdonald's and bring it back. necessaryjourney? naga clears throat. on a slightly different food theme call, scorns. —— scones. do

royal scones use egg or not?|j theme call, scorns. —— scones. do royal scones use egg or not? i don't like scones. i've had scones ones, buttermilk scones which changed my mind about scones. whether you love them or not, they do exist and there is an argument to use the eggs in them or not. do you make scones? i think i probably would use eggs. the queen has said she uses a couple of eggs. mary berry uses eggs but then, delia smith, i didn't know this, delia smith, i didn't know this, delia smith, i didn't know this, delia smith does not. can we just start off the argument. jan —— jam or cream first? i'm not getting into that? put yourself out there. not doing it. jam first, because then it's sticky, and then you can have the cream. he put the cream first, the cream. he put the cream first, the jam will slide off. all the

weather and sport coming up a little later. since the start of the lockdown, many of us have turned to social media to stay in touch. facebook in particular has seen a big increase in demand for its services. that's led to concerns about the influence of the company — and its handling of issues such as misinformation and fake news. our business editor, simonjack has been speaking to facebook‘s founder, mark zuckerberg. he joins us now from our london newsroom. always great getting a big name. what did you get out of him? it's rare, he hasn't given a press interview for a long time, five yea rs. interview for a long time, five years. facebook is always in controversy. a massive powerful media platform. about half the world's population on facebook or instagram are what's up. he's also very rich, worth about $18 billion, total control over this company. no matter how rich and powerful, like the rest of us, he. at home with a

two—year—old and a four—year—old. we have two girls, one who is four and one who is two, so they are not quite full school—age yet but, yeah, i am sure it is chaotic like everywhere else. are there some permanent changes that you perceive from this and what do you think that your company ‘s role has been during the crisis? we focused on three main areas, one is to respond to acute health crisis. the second is helping people stay connected with the people they care about and the third area is on economic recovery so right now we're seeing a lot of pain for small businesses. they're having a hard time staying open as a lot of people are staying home and that means millions of people are losing jobs and i think anything

that we can do to help small businesses survive. if some crazy person decided to start telling people to inject bleach or saying colloidal silver would be a good way of keeping the virus at bay, what is the facebook algorithm's response to that? things like saying that something is improving the cure for the virus when in fact it is not, we will take that down. another example which i know has been very prevalent in the uk has been 5g misinformation, which has led to some physical damage of 5g infrastructure so we believe that that is leading to imminent risk of physical harm, we take down the content. there have been hundreds of thousands of pieces of content like that. we have a us election coming up and there was a princeton university survey thing that facebook is the biggest purveyor of misinformation in the us. do you think that facebook can influence the way that people vote?

since since 2016 about politics we've learned a lot about how politics works online since since 2016 and there are many different threats we have tried to mitigate. for example, one big area, that we were behind on in 2016 but now we are quite advanced at, is identifying and fighting these co—ordinated information campaigns coming from different state actors around the world, whether it is rush hour or iran or in some cases china. in 2016, this was a new kind of tactic. there will continue to be issues and countries will continue to interfere and we will see issues like that, so it's a little bit of an arms race in that way but i certainly think our systems are a lot more advanced now. i think in many ways more advanced than many other company or governments around the world and i feel confident about our ability to help protect the integrity of the upcoming elections. that is a big claim because you will remember the controversy surrounding

facebook when tens of millions of users data and up in the hands of cambridge analytica but they are saying they are confident they can get done. it's interesting mark zuckerberg is coming out now. they think people have turned to them on instagram, facebook. you'll be hard pressed to say they haven't help people stay in touch they are feeling a bit more confident on the back foot. there was a warning and what he said about the payments going through the economy and they launch something this week called base bookshops. they are going to try and make it a bit easier to part with your money. that is self—interest. they know those businesses, you can keep them afloat, what is good for those businesses. simon, thank you for going through that with us. a lot of

people have told us they have lost their loved ones here on breakfast, it isa their loved ones here on breakfast, it is a privilege and i am always struck about how they want us to know something about who their loved ones were. just something personal. we've been fortunate enough to talk to eloise. when eloise's father, kim, passed away with covid—19, she wanted everybody‘s memory of him to be his love of magic, and turned to the local community to help make it happen. fiona trott has been to meet her. pick a card, any card. picka card, any card. the pick a card, any card. the trick taught by her dad. he loved magix and ourfriends taught by her dad. he loved magix and our friends and family are learning some as a tribute to kim brian. he would love it. i've spoken to one of his friends about it and

he said, your dad would be loving this. it was just so funny, just the presentation of it just this. it was just so funny, just the presentation of itjust really made me laugh stop i wonder if it can levitate and go uphill. 0h hello, whoa, hey... amazing. you can't what the hell the other way, can you? whoa, hey... amazing. you can't what the hellthe otherway, can you? oh, yes, ican, says the hellthe otherway, can you? oh, yes, i can, says the orange. and for any friends who might need it, some lessons from a professional. eloise and kirsty‘s dad helped the local magic shop go on line. he wanted to keep the business going during the down. how are you? it's owned by his friend mark. the usual grieving process , friend mark. the usual grieving process, that's gone as well. so i think it's important to find

strength and other things. keeping the magic going has definitely given me strength to carry on and i know kim and his family have even put a magic on there as well. i'm sharon and as most of you know, i've spent surrounded by magic for well over 25 years. cheers, kim. let's keep the magic going. if you see a magic trick, you can't smile, you just can't. i always thought, i didn't understand why my dad did magic that actually got a smile out of every person and every single memory of god of my dad is him smiling and it isa god of my dad is him smiling and it is a result of the magic and the magic tricks. what a lovely way. it was celebrating a thing he loved doing, the thing they love about him. thank you for sharing that with

us. if you want to read more tributes to those who've died during the pandemic, you can go to bbc.co.uk/news. there's also a form where you can add your own tribute to someone you've lost. matt has all the details on the weather now. i can picture you sitting on that little area on the left. a cup of tea, that would be nice. it would be lovely, charlie. many did that yesterday afternoon in the sunshine. good morning as well. the warmest day yesterday since the end of august last year. these are the top temperatures from four nations, peaking at 28.2dc. northern ireland, a little bit cooler. still above where they should be. just to give you an idea of what is happening, as we go towards friday, temperatures dropping a little bit.

by temperatures dropping a little bit. by this stage, another with a hazard to look it. strong winds as i will show you in a short while. to get from the heat to something cooler, we often have a spell of rain and with that heat around, we've also seen some thunder. a disturbed night across wales. flashes of lightning and rumbles of under all linked to this narrow band of rain pushing into the west midlands and more particularly across north—west england. northern ireland, clearing the way to the west of scotland, slowly pushing north and east to the day. very little rain for those in the south and east of england although they could be one or two showers or under storms to take us to this side of lunchtime and sunshine widely through the afternoon. england, wales, northern ireland is that rain becomes combined to the north—east of scotland. scotland not as hot as yesterday that still warm this time of year. sunshine very pleasant —— very pleasant. this evening and

overnight, the cloud spills in, larger area of rain works its way in from the west. staying dry in the south—east corner. just the small chance of under storm, staying dry and temperatures in the teens quite widely. a deep area of low pressure. what that means is we start with rain, particularly across scotland. replaced by sunshine and showers in the west. as we go through the day, the west. as we go through the day, the winds will be strengthening. a very windy day. wind gusts in excess of 40 miles. if you, maybe 60 miles on the west of scotland which could cause a few issues as we head into the end of friday and the start of the end of friday and the start of the weekend. it's going to stay windy this weekend, particularly across the north is this low pressure also continues. rain to the west of scotland.

matt comyn looks great. thank you very much. —— matt, looks great. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it's 6:30am. coming up on this morning's programme: with foreign holidays mostly out of the question, we'll see how the uk's tourism industry is preparing for a surge in demand as lockdown measures are eased. we will also be speaking to the boss of heathrow. face masks may play an important role in the fight against coronavirus, but for those who rely on lip—reading to communicate they can cause a huge problem — we'll look at a potential solution. and every week this head teacher leads her virtual school assemblies dressed in giant inflata ble costu mes. 0h, oh, we're going to talk to her in a costu me, oh, we're going to talk to her in a costume, don't know which ones she will be in, that'sjust costume, don't know which ones she will be in, that's just after 8:30am stop first though, a summary

of main stories from bbc news. nhs leaders have warned of severe consequences for the health service if a test, track and trace system for coronavirus is not in place soon. the nhs confederation has written to the health secretary, matt hancock, saying any further easing of the lockdown depends on a clear strategy. borisjohnson has pledged to introduce what he described as a "world—beating" tracing system byjune the first. the scottish government is set to publish its plans for easing the lockdown later. first minister nicola sturgeon said she hoped the first phase of the process would begin a week today. changes are expected to include allowing more outdoor activities and easing the restrictions around people meeting outside their own homes. the head of the world health organization has said there is still a long way to go before the coronavirus is over. he said that

after announcing there were over 100,000 new infections, the largest over a single day. two drugs used to prevent malaria are being trialled at hospitals in brighton and oxford, to see whether they could be used to treat coronavirus. hydroxychloroquine, along with chloroquine, will be given to more than 40,000 healthcare workers from around the world who have been in contact with covid—19 patients. earlier this week, president trump drew criticism from doctors after announcing he was taking the drug as a preventative measure. it's time to check in with a gp. today we're joined from reading by dr william bird. good morning to you, doctor bird. ourou? i'm good morning to you, doctor bird. our ou? i'm very well. we have a number of things to get through today. —— how are you? we always took a great deal about testing, of course, and one of the things we know now is that anyone over the age of five can get tested if they have symptoms. it's worth reminding

people about what those symptoms are. because over time the official symptoms on what covid—19 i have changed. —— what the symptoms are on covid—19 have changed. that's right. i was wondering if you could remind us what those symptoms are? the symptoms are at the moment are if you are having a cold or a fever, and of course loss of smell, loss of smell and taste. those are the olfactory nerves, you hardly ever ask it when you see patients, we don't do it so much but we did it at medical school. now we know the virus heads towards our olfactory nerve and knocks it out, it isn't known why and it is specific to the coronavirus. people are worried, they say are now five weeks i

haven't been able to smell since i got covid—19. will it come back? it will. he doesn't have to do with congestion of the nose, because coronavirus doesn't cause much congestion. if you have congestion, it's probably cold or hay fever. this seems specific to the nerve, so they have added it to the symptoms and we're seeing other symptoms as well, which are the covid toes, which i think people have heard of now, and that is to do with the plotting of the blood in the peripheries. it means the out wide of the body gets a little bit more severe “— of the body gets a little bit more severe —— the outside, so you start to lose some circulation in the toes. that comes back as well. and a whole host of rashes, one looking like chickenpox, has come up. so that has caused some confusion. certainly there are other symptoms, but the ones that are being focused on other ones that are specific to

covid, loss of smell and taste and loss of temperature and shortness of breath and cough, but cough mostly. it's interesting that you are saying, doctor. it seems you are having a lot of people presenting to you either virtually or directly, with those symptoms? yes. and i think as we get on we would be understanding this disease, finding more and more symptoms attached to it. when you get to the more severe illness, with the lung problem, then it can affect the rest of the body as well. it can affect the liver and kidneys and heart. that's way down. but certainly getting a lot of mild terms, we know gastroenteritis can be part of the covid—19 complex. it is quite confusing. if someone has a high temperature and they have a bit of diarrhoea, vomiting, well, then the should get testing —— than they should get testing because it could

be the coronavirus. and about the reopening of schools, as to when and how that might happen, are you getting people and parents asking you questions in advance of when that might happen? yes. i have to say that has been quite a polarising effect. i think what we're seeing here is people really want to be told its safe. it's absolutely fine for my child to go to school and there's no worries. unfortunately, we can't say that. there is risk we are living with and risk we haven't really experienced before. everyone wa nts to really experienced before. everyone wants to be a good parent, everyone wa nts to wants to be a good parent, everyone wants to make the right decision. so is it right or not to send my child to school? i think it should look at their own situation. as for the rest, if you look at other things that go on in the world around us that go on in the world around us that we don't think of so much, i mean, one of the things that — children dying of flu in the winter season, about 40 day of every

winter. we've only had three deaths from covid—19 for children. so take things in proportion. there are also lots of home accidents and things like that. whether you're in a house or outside, there is risk of around you. you can't move from risk. so i think we have to put that in proportion. and you look at the downside of being at home, and of course children need to be social, they need to have education and being outside and doing exercise. it's really important and the longer we hold them back, the more downsides we're going to get. we're going to get this decision we have to balance ourselves. and people have come to me and said i've got an elderly mother living with me, and she is being shielded but i don't wa nt she is being shielded but i don't want my child to bring anything back. a lot of children really don't transmit the virus as much. so let's get those facts. about 0.7% of

coronavirus is from children, so the rest of it, 99% of people who got the coronavirus are not children. some studies have shown where nine children who definitely had coronavirus, they were mixing with 850 people, but only two other people managed to get coronavirus from those nine children, and they we re from those nine children, and they were two other children as well. they tend to get the symptoms very mildly. i think we just have to realise we can't get rid of this risk, but you have to balance that downside and upside. and it's a difficult decision. yes. very wise words, i'm very drawn to the plant over your right shoulder, i've been listening to everything you've been saying, but i'm drawn to the plan. it's becoming a fact. this is the office plan i'm looking after, so please make sure it survives. nice to speak to you, see you soon. 0k.

looks like it was flourishing. lovely, wasn't it? let's talk to mike with sport. my, i rememberall of the rows over the tokyo olympics, especially with the japanese government and them saying yes, it's going to go ahead, being quite defiant while sports people across the world were saying this is utter madness. now what are they saying? well, the talk is about next year. the olympics is certainly unique because it's so large, so many thousands in the organisation, committee and athletes. they need to know when far in advance because they often build training programmes over months, at least a year, to peek at the right time. —— peak at the right time. and now the president of the international olympic committee, thomas bach, admits the tokyo games could be cancelled altogether if they don't go ahead next summer. in an exclusive interview with our sports editor dan roan. you cannot every year change the entire sports schedule worldwide of

all of the major federations. entire sports schedule worldwide of all of the majorfederations. you cannot have the athletes be in uncertainty, you cannot have so much overlapping with the future olympic games. so i have some understanding for this approach by ourjapanese partners. we'll have more on that later. and in football... chelsea's world cup winning midfielder, n'golo kante, is the latest premier league player to opt out of training — due to fears over the coronavirus. it comes after data from the office of national statistics, suggested those from a bame background are twice as likely to die from covid—19. all clubs — like watford here — have been in non—contact training, in small groups this week, despite their defender, adrian mariappa being one of three

people at the club to test positive for the virus. six people across the league tested positive. with a potential restart of matches next month, the culture secretary oliver downden, says contact training could be approved this week. unlike the premier league, championship players are being asked to test themselves at home from next week. well, the initial tests for coronavirus start today at club grounds as teams prepare to return to training next week. however, the detailed guidance seen by bbc sport reveals after that, players will test themselves at home before training, twice a week. and sticking with the returning to work theme, some england cricketers will be back in training this morning. up to 18 bowlers will take part in sessions this week across seven grounds. rather different to this, all sessions will involve players socially distancing, with temperature checks in place and strict rules over cleaning equipment. batsmen and wicket—keepers will return next month. that is all for now. we will have a bit more later. mike, thank you very much. airlines and potential air

passengers are still waiting for information on the government's quarantine plans. sean's looking into this one for us today. good morning to you, sean. what have we got? good morning. yes, that's right. was a big issue for the aviation industry and people planning what would happen when they come back to the uk. it was just over ten days ago now when the prime minister announced he would be imposing a 14—day quarantine "soon" on any passengers landing in the uk. but we are knowing the wiser on most of that. the boss of ryanair telling us he thought the idea was pointless and people would ignore it anyway. there are concerns from the industry about what it would do for already damaged passenger confidence about how they might look to get back up and running again. let's have a look ata and running again. let's have a look at a few of the details of what we know. well, this week the transport secretary said final details were still being ironed out but that the 14—day quarantine policy would be in place from early

june. when it was first announced, the guidance explained that anyone who wasn't exempt would be told to self—isolate for 14 days, provide an address at the border of where they would be staying. the government would provide accommodation if there were no other options. the prime minister said this would apply to all passengers arriving back in the uk, except those coming back from the republic of ireland. there was some talk of france at one point but that was retracted. this week the government suggested it might consider so—called air bridges — that means no quarantine for people coming to the uk from places the uk decides has a low enough infection rate. now, until we see the details, of course, we just can't know for sure. that's causing a big headache for the industry. as simon calder explains. the aviation industry is desperate for some alternative to quarantine, which is why heathrow airport is

drying thermal imaging cameras for arrivals stop they are also being temperature checked upon departure and you'll be wearing a mask through most of the journey. ultimately, though, social distancing and passenger aviation are mutually exclusive, and anybody, like me, who is desperate to fly, will have to accept some degree of risk. simon's frustration shed their —— shared by afairfew, i frustration shed their —— shared by a fairfew, i think. cameras in the immigrations hall of terminal 2 will use facial recognition tech to carry out thermal screening. if it works, it could be installed elsewhere in the airport as well. things that put l place
