tape and have listened back to the tape and as farasi have listened back to the tape and as far as i am concerned you pronounced my name absolutely correctly. tony hadley. you might have said headley with a slight accent, but as far as i'm concerned you have said my name correctly. after originally offering mohammed a goodwill gesture, the radio station of the backed down and given him the whole $10,000 prize. he is delighted. finally happy that this thing is over. thanks to help from mr tony hadley it has been so great. i even talked to him. the money will come in handy as muhammad and his wife are expecting a baby later this year. they know it's a boy and have not entirely ruled out id been given the name tony and hadley. colin paterson, bbc news. brilliant. residents and staff at a care home in cardiff had some special guest callers for their bingo game. players experienced a full house — of windsor — as the duke and duchess of cambridge showed

off their calling skills. catherine is going to pick out the first ball. 0k. so the first number is five and eight, 58. one little duck, number two. fight and seven, 87. six and two, tickety— boo. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz shafernaker. thank you. really blustery day across the northern half of the uk today but especially around northern ireland and western scotland. gale force winds. 0n ireland and western scotland. gale force winds. on top of that we have got heavy rain. the worst of the weather is concentrated on a small area of the country compared to the rest of us. the reason for this bad weather in the north west is a storm which is kind of site sweeping

us. it is off the coast of northern ireland and will be moving between iceland and scotland over the next 24 iceland and scotland over the next 2a hours, but it is close enough to give us quite a blow, especially along exposed areas. gusts could approach 60 mph or more. heavy rain in the west of scotland. elsewhere across the country, the vast majority are experiencing a mostly sunny day with a few showers. not quite as hot as yesterday. temperatures in the low 20s in the south—east. friday evening into the early hours of saturday, it remains very blustery across the north—west of the country. the rain is going to continue. very heavy across western scotla nd continue. very heavy across western scotland throughout this whole period. to the south of that we have got clear skies with scattering of showers. and that strong breeze. i mentioned that stone will be moving between scotland and iceland. so whistling through. strong winds again expected across the north—west of the country during the course

of saturday. the winds will increase across the rest of the uk. it would be kind of a sunny day with occasional passing clouds, very quickly, a few showers, strong gusts of wind in the north or the south. cooler still, 19 degrees. the winds could exceed a0 mph, even in the far south, which is strong enough to ta ke south, which is strong enough to take the odd branch of a tree. so saturday night into sunday, that low finally moves away. it moves into scandinavia. behind it, the weather calms down. the winds also turned direction. they were becoming more from the south. you know what happens when winds start coming in from the south, the weather starts to warm up because of the southern climes. through monday we start to see high pressure building on the south of the country, plenty of sunshine on offer, but the north—west of the uk still being brushed by these atlantic weather systems. more cloud here. a breeze and some rain. in the south

temperatures back up to 25. the indication is that next week across many parts of the uk. it will feel like summer. temperatures in the mid to high 20s. thank you. a reminder of our top story... uk borrowing is at a record high as the cost of the coronavirus outbreak soars. that's all from the bbc news at one. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. lots of you have been getting in touch good afternoon, i'm chetan pathak with your latest sports news. we start with tranmere rovers who say they're determined to fight plans to relegate them if the season can't be played out. they'd go down from league one on average points but believe, having won their last three games, that they were in the form to save themsleves before the season stopped. i think there is a solution which actually has no downsides for everybody and that

is to allow promotions without relegations. which whilst it might sound like a strange solution at first, it is actually a win—win for everybody. nobody is financially penalised for something when they haven't had an opportunity to play their way out of trouble and in our case we probably feel that more than everybody. next, with the disproportianate impact of coronavirus on people from black, asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, the decision over "if" and "when" to go back to playing sport can be a daunting one. premier league footballers troy deeney and danny rose are amongst the most high—profile names to come out and voice their concerns. our reporter nesta mcgregor‘s been speaking to sports men and women about how they feel about returning to their dayjob. lockdown is beginning to ease across professional sports but with some concern about statistics of the possible effects of covid—19

in black in ethnic minority groups there are still many unanswered questions for athletes. a mixed martial artist in the park, a boxer in his car, a team gb sprinter‘s bedroom and a footballer on a sofa. the biggest issue around it for me is the lack of consultation that footballers have had. friends that i have at premier league level, championship level have not been asked the question whether they are co mforta ble asked the question whether they are comfortable to go back or not. that has to be a personal decision. covid—19 has impacted people in almost every corner of the world. when it comes to england and wales, figures from the office of national statistics shows people from black and ethnic minority communities are almost twice as likely to die from coronavirus. i do not see a lot of black athletes who will

want to keep competing f it is not met. some of us competing f it is not met. some of us have children and we don't know. ido us have children and we don't know. i do not know if my baby has an underlying health condition at the moment. he is very young. they thought of me getting something and passing it on to him, thatjust brea ks passing it on to him, thatjust breaks my heart. racing are training on an athletics track may prove difficult to social distancing and experts advising the government are supportive over the concerns of athletes. there are people who are asymptomatic and that is where you worry about catching the virus. so if you are in a group sports, that is more likely. so i am not surprised at all with anxieties that professional athletes have.|j surprised at all with anxieties that professional athletes have. i am trying to enjoy the time that i have to grow as a person. i am aware of the situation. i think you just have to find perspective and take something positive from the situation. it's

notjust professional at who are thinking about how this virus could affect them. when i kick about our shootaround in the local park is given the green light, the decision is whether it's a risk worth taking. and finally, kobe bryant's handprints have sold for $75,000 at an auction in los angeles. that's over £60,000. the lakers star died in a helicopter with his daughter and seven other people injanuary. the print of his hands from the hollywood walk of fame were among items of memorabilia which fetched more than $200,000. i'll have more for you in the next hour. for now, that is all. back to you, jane. thank you. good afternoon to you. you are using —— watching bbc news. i am jane you. you are using —— watching bbc news. i amjane hill.

let's start this half hour with another... now, it's time for your questions answered. earlier my colleague annita mcveigh put your questions about university courses to two industry experts. lots of you have been getting in touch with questions about the impact of coronavirus on higher education. with cambridge university announcing that all lectures will be when term begins at universities across the uk in the autumn? to answer your questions asked steve smith, vice chancellor of the university of exeter and a member of the ministerial task force looking at university funding during the coronavirus crisis, and also courtney shepard who is customer experience manager at ucas. thank you

forjoining us. we'll begin with a question from rachel and she asks, sir steve, if classes are going to be virtual, is the government going to subsidise this? getting university to reduce fees. this is all about value for money during the pandemic. the answer is no, the government is not going to do that. the minister has said that as long as we can guarantee the standard of the quality of the education experience is roughly the same, not identical but roughly the same, as in traditional delivery, then fees shouldn't be reduced and what you'll find, rachel, is that every university in the country is currently working out how to deliver high quality lectures. they are the real problem online because you cannot put so many people in a lecture theatre but the rest of the activities, laboratories, library works, seminars, tutorials, will be done in person in most universities

so i don't think we should worry about that and they are certainly not going to suggest that we reduce the fees because what matters is the quality of the education and the outcomes you achieve. just a supplementary on that, who is going to adjudicate whether universities are actually delivering that value for money when students perhaps can't have the experience they expected under face—to—face teaching? there are three kind of route you could use. you could talk to your own university. i get regular contact from students about things that are good and things that are not good. there are processes internally. secondly, there is the office for the independent adjudicator so there is a kind of complaints procedure. if you've exhausted the domestic procedures. thirdly there is the office for students, our regulator, who is insisting that we provide education of the same quality and they ultimately will oversee

to make sure that we are doing the best we can do so that students don't lose out in some of the delivery being online. let's look at the decision making end of this and cross to courtney shepherd from ucas. a question from james about his daughter. he says, my daughter is now on the fence about going to university in the next academic year. what advice do you have? how many of the people getting in touch with you are likewise on the fence? yes, we've had lots of facebook lives recently where we've spoken to thousands and thousands of students and taken their questions and lots of students are in that same position where they are considering their options and wondering what they should do. the advice that we have is the reasons for going to university when students initially chose their choices will still be mostly the same, when we get out of the situation that covid has introduced, so the advice that we would give to students is to get all of the information that they can

so find out what the plans are for the summer, speak to some students through the ucas website. current students, find out what it's like at university and then when they are ready and they've got all the information available to make that decision, it's better to have a firm choice that they can have in their pocket when they get the exam results, then they can really make a decision from there once the picture is clearer. that's really, really interesting because lots of people are wrangling with this decision—making process at the moment. sir steve, what are your thoughts on that, if someone is on the fence about whether to actually go ahead and go to university in the next academic year? not just from a learning perspective, but also an experience perspective because we have a question from stuart who says, how can i make the most of the university experience when all i can do is zoom drinks from home? i might has well defer until next year. yes, well, i think there is genuinely a problem for applicants

trying to make that decision and i think we are all in the same boat, we don't quite know what the autumn is going to bring. just two big comments to make. i think every university is planning to start again in the autumn. at exeter, we are planning to start on time in september, but, of course, as you'd expect, we've got contingency plans if we cannot do that. but the key thing to think about is university is notjust the lecture, it is also the social life, it's also the learning you do with your colleagues, the overall experience and in the sciences it is lab work and we are going to make sure that those things can take place in exeter. i would say think about it, talk to people, see how things develop, but you can rest assured that every university in the country is going to try and make certain that students who come in the autumn are protected, are supported and actually have a very good experience. it sounds like where you are, there's going to be lots going on with safe social distancing as far as you can. absolutely, there are obvious

limits to what we can do but we have already planned how to have a one—way system is through buildings, to have sanitiser, to have social spaces, segregated in different ways, to have lectures demarcated, but the key thing is you can be sure which of a university you're looking at, everyone is trying to make sure that students don't suffer because we understand completely that this is a stressful time and this generation have had a difficult time because of this crisis. which brings me to this anonymous question. how can i choose the best university for me when i can't actually go and visit it? what different universities are proposing to offer in the autumn, it sounds like it varies quite a lot. that could be a factor in people making their final decision could be a factor in people making theirfinal decision i guess. could be a factor in people making their final decision i guess. very much so. research is really important, getting all of the

information. lots of universities are putting on virtual events, virtual exhibition, virtual trolls of the campus, opportunities to speak to karen students. we ran our first pilot event this week and it was successful where students could speak to some lecturers, some academics about what they should do and think about for their decision making. i would encourage students to use all the channels available, speak to students if possible. and other options, go on to the university's websites, go on facebook, there are different ways to get a feel for the university even though they are not able to go there and see what they campus like physically. lots of information is available, things will change but do your research, it is really important to do that upfront and make your decision before. we heard earlier a week or

so talking about virtual open days. when is the deadline to pick my place, have these deadlines have been extended and if so until then? these deadlines have been extended and if so untilthen? good these deadlines have been extended and if so until then? good question, charlie. yes, those deadlines have been extended. you need to make that choice by the 18th ofjune. applications are still available now so applications are still available now so people who are deciding to go to university can still do so. we have had several thousand applications still coming through the system at the moment. the 18th ofjune is when you need to make that decision but make that with all the facts in mind before you commit to them. sir steve, we a re before you commit to them. sir steve, we are almost out of time, there are at least ten books a require from the library for my ma. they each cost about £50 to buy. what help is there to cover these costs ? what help is there to cover these costs? two quick answers, we have a hardship fund which we use for stu d e nts hardship fund which we use for students and lots of them every year

apply to it so we can help financially. secondly, increasingly libraries are using e—books, books are available electronically. anyone in exeter can download those books at any point. there are ways to deal with that and i would encourage that person to make sure they make that request and get in touch. thank you so request and get in touch. thank you so much. and thank you very much as everfor so much. and thank you very much as ever for your questions. let's turn our attention to scotland. scotland's first minister — nicola sturgeon — has been outlining more details of her route map out of locked. speaking during the scottish government's daily briefing today the first minister said some restrictions in scotland would be eased from 28th may — that's next thursday. but she urged people to respect the current stay at home message over the bank holiday weekend.

here's some of what she had to say. there is a strong emphasis on the first phase in the work cavity. —— mike outdoor activity. because one of the things we are learning about the virus is that the risks of transmission outdoors, although not zero — absolutely not zero — are nevertheless lower than the risks of transmission indoors. so you will be able, in this first phase, to sit outside or sunbathe in parks or other open areas. and as long as you stay two metres apart, you will also be able to meet outside with people from another household, including in private gardens. now, let me be clear about this, this is a question that i know has been asked, that doesn't limit you to seeing just one specific household during this phase. you can see different households, but we are asking you only to meet with one at a time. we are also not intending to put a five mile limit on the distance you can travel to,

for example, sit with your parents in their garden. but we are asking you to use judgment. and increasingly as we come out of lockdown, i'm going to, more and more, be relying on you to exercise good judgment that i know you well. that i know you will. if, for example, you have to travel a long distance to see a relative outside, you are more likely to have go inside the house to, for example, use the bathroom. and we don't want you to go inside others' houses in this phase because if you are infectious, maybe without knowing about it, you risk leaving the virus on surfaces inside the house and that would pose a risk to other people and particularly if you are visiting elderly relatives, that is a risk we don't want you to take. so please use yourjudgment and continue to have uppermost in your mind the need to protect those you care about, even if that might mean staying apart from them for just a little bit longer. so as well as those changes, some noncontact outdoor leisure activities will be allowed

to restart from the end of next week, such as golf, tennis, bowls and fishing, croquet, as well, as i was asked about in parliament. subject to appropriate hygiene and physical distancing. people will be able to travel, preferably by walking or cycling, to a location near the local community for recreation. but here we are asking you to stay fairly local. five miles is not going to be a strict limit, but it is intended to give you a guide. because what we don't want, in this phase, is for people to congregate at tourist hotspots. because crowds of people, even if they are trying to socially distance, brings more risk that we don'tjudge it is safe to bring at this time. an online book of remembrance, to commemorate those who have died from coronavirus, has been organised by st paul's cathedral in london.

family members, friends and carers of anyone who has died can submit a name, photograph and a short message to pay tribute to their loved ones. the memorial book, called remember me, has received the support of the prince of wales who said the outbreak had "brought tragedy and heartbreakfor too many". our correspondent helena wilkinson has spent the morning at st paul's and has been explaining what this may mean for people wanting to mourn for their loved ones. people haven't been able to hold proper funerals, for example, for people who have died from the virus. it has been very difficult and even the simple act of hugging each other. so the process has been not normal in these times and st paul's cathedral here, the doors are shut, of course, to visitors, but they want to give people the space to be able to put a photograph, as you say, of their loved one

and a message about them and their name. so we can all come together, look at the site and remember those who have died. but let's find out a bit more about the site and speak to the dean of st paul's cathedral, the very reverend david ison. and, david, how important do you think this is going to be for people who have lost loved ones during this pandemic? it's really important for all of us that we know that those who we love are remembered and cared for and having the opportunity to express that in different ways is key for people. so this is a way that you can do that. st paul's has been around for many centuries to remember people. we would normally be doing memorial services, many places of worship, would be right across the country, but we can't do that. so we thought this is a way online we can find, enable you to find a home, a place where they can express their grief, where we can share in those

we have lost. i have been on the site, we have got people coming in. it's just very moving to read the stories and see the pictures of people who we want to remember, who we have loved and we have lost. and how difficult then do you think it has been in talking to people perhaps you have been effected by the virus, how difficult has it been for them to grieve during this time? it's been very hard because you want to be able to come together and you can't. people particularly who have not been able even to say goodbye to those they love because of social distancing restrictions or because they are in intensive care. so having somewhere that we can do that and not do it on our own is really important. so that you are alongside others who are in the same situation and can share it with all of the community, all of us across the uk, is a great thing to be able to do. we mentioned the doors are shut here at st paul's cathedral to visitors. normally it would be busy at this time of the day. how has it been for you personally during this time, over the past few months?

it's been very hard because we're based on worship and prayer, of bringing people together, enabling people to enjoy the wonderful building. none of that can happen. and so we have been looking for ways to do that online and this is a way that we can share that with people. so it is a way of extending our ministry, as many places of worship are able to extend their ministry online. but also, we're thinking further ahead about how we root this going forward. so it is not simply something that is online, a virtual presence, but also has some physical reality and we have been thinking about that here at st paul's as well. so you might have a physical memorial at some stage? any idea when that might be or how it might look in the future? it will be subject to funding. a first stage of that, we hope if we can get

with a touch screen that you can engage with and st paul's. but further down the line, we have an idea for a place where we can do a memorial, where people can come and pray next to, can come and experience. and this is not only for those who have lost those they have loved, it's also for people now and into the future, to remember what has happened to us as a whole society. the experience that we've been through. we have many memorials here to events which have changed people's lives profoundly and we believe that this is one of them. the very reverend david ison, dean of st paul's cathedral. thank you very much indeed. so if you do want to contribute to this online site, the website to go to: www.rememberme2020.uk. you can then put a picture of your loved one up there with their name and a message for everyone to have a look at. much more coming up from

two o'clock. we will be talking about the economy and much more besides. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomaz. very, very windy for some of us out there. especially northern ireland and western scotland and, actually, through the weekend, the winds will be picking up across the south as well. on top of that, heavy rain in western scotland and it is all because of this, this storm passing to the west of ireland and it is moving towards the north—east. it is kind of side sweeping us but close enough for us to feel the effects of this weather system, very blustery for the time of year. 60 mph gusts possible through today and into tonight across some western areas of the uk and the winds will be increasing in the south. not as warm as it has been, 22 in london and around 1a into the afternoon there in windswept scotland. the heavy rain and gales carry on in the north—west through

the night. winds remain blustery especially out towards the west, through the night with just a few showers. for many of us it will be a dry night, not as warm overnight. temperatures dipping down to 9,10 degrees. this weekend, the low pressure is still close by. there's a lot of isobars there so winds will be racing into the centre of that low pressure. and those winds will pick up across southern areas of the uk during the course of saturday. it will be a weird day, it'll be a very sunny day but a very blustery day with fast moving clouds and occasional showers and on top of that we still have that heavy rain there in western parts of scotland. here are the gusts again in excess a0 mph in the south and probably gusting in excess of 50 in the north. saturday night into sunday, that low pressure, the storm moves away, the winds die down and it will be much, much calmer on sunday.

in fact, hardly any wind at all across some southern areas of the country. also, the winds will shift direction, they will be coming in from the south and when the air comes in from the south, the warmer climes, it tends to warm up. high pressure builds in the south on monday, which means temperatures will be increasing. whereas here in the north—west we are still under the influence of weather fronts off the atlantic, so fresher, perhaps wetter at times. but look at that, back up to 25 on monday in the south east.

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines: the dramatic effect of coronavirus on the economy — uk government borrowing in april was more than £62 billion — the largest monthly amount on

record. we borrowed in one month essentially what we borrowed in the entirety of the last financial year. that gives you a sense of the scale of the borrowing of the government undertook in april. the government is to publish new health advice which it says will show why some primary school pupils in england should go back to school after the half—term break, on the 1st ofjune. more than 10,000 volunteers are being recruited, as oxford researchers move to the next stage of their coronavirus vaccine trial. a passenger plane with 99 people on board has crashed in a residential area of karachi in pakistan. people arriving in the uk from abroad could face a £1,000 fine if they don't self—isolate for 1a days.
