airways and british airways and virgin atlantic. the issue there has been that it takes a phenomenal amount of money to bail out companies of that size and of course, at the moment, there's no sign of those traveller 's extremes being listed in the uk —— travel restrictions. we just impose measures which will be in place up to a month or more, given that's what the government said it's reviewing it. there's no end in sight for the difficulties the airline industry. ithink sight for the difficulties the airline industry. i think everyone is expecting the uk will see some sort of economic statement or budget in response to the coronavirus crisis before parliament breaks up at the end ofjuly. it will be interesting to see whether there is any kind of package within that for the british airline companies that have been affected by the crisis in the same way that the german government has offered to lufthansa.

cannot understate just how much it's been impacted. turning to the financial times. wall street's suffering their worst one—day fold since the march market crash. it's impacting everyone, caroline. stock markets are second wave fears as well, any good news to come out of this? i don't think that anyone has expected any financial good news to come out of this pandemic. i think that's where this story now shifts in terms of we've dealt and looked at the very significant impact on health at those death race. —— death rates. i think now the focus is now on the economy and of course we've seen some very dire predictions about the contraction of the economy in the uk. even worse than that, the
10:47 pm
greatest predictions of depression since the great freeze. really, really dire forecasts and now we see those predictions by the federal reserve 's in the us forecasting apocalyptic numbers. it's good to see that the president, donald trump, and the us still predicts a great third quarter. and an even better 2021, which is interesting given that there have been great predictions that this economic crisis could last for two decades or more, given the impact that it's had with such a prolonged lockdown of the world. i suspect he's thinking about the upcoming election in the us. when it comes to death about a lot of concerns stem on the possibility of a second wave of this coronavirus. what's the mood in germany light, given they've done so well in terms of their figures? for
10:48 pm
the time being, there is not really fear of a second wave in germany. there are still a couple hundred new infections every day, but they are very localised. the r rate has now been constantly under one, and as i expected before, because they are pretty good as localising or tracking down where the infections are, they have been good at isolating people. saying that it has not always been easy. there have been cases where the police have to uphold apartment blocks because people would not follow the order to stay—at—home and potentially infect other people because they went to supermarkets. there have been cases of illegal parties and so on. so it isa of illegal parties and so on. so it is a constant challenge for the authorities and is also a constant challenge for our society because eve ryo ne challenge for our society because everyone has a responsibility now. some people unfortunately do not

respect that. moving on to the guardian now. the picture is stormzy, a hugely successful wrapper who was made a pledge to black british causes —— rapper. tensions rise over race as more statues are starred —— targeted. we've seen what happened with edward colston, the statue in bristol. he's now been brought out of the water to be placed in a museum. increasing concerns over the weight that history is portrayed in this country and globally. exactly. ithink in the run—up to what was expecting was going to be a very tension fuelled recount with that black lives matter protest land for hide part —— hyde
10:50 pm
park which has been delayed, and also threats of far right groups coming to protect those statues. the guardian's chosen to focus on other statues in other cities that are also kind of coming under threat. in particular, a number of papers pick up particular, a number of papers pick up on the head of the scouting movement. he was also associated with racism, homophobia and support for adolf hitler. there's been a big i’ow for adolf hitler. there's been a big row over whether or not it's right. there's also another statue in bristol of a black playwright, who is also had corrosive liquid thrown at him. i don't think we will see this debate end anytime soon, although it's interesting that black lives matter have now pulled out of that massive protests on saturday which means perhaps some of the
10:51 pm
tension will be taken out of this we can's protests. that scouting leader that you mentioned, he's on the front page of the daily telegraph. priti patel, the home secretary, saying she will not be silence over race. if after labour mps accused her of exploiting her asian heritage to challenge the use of violence at black lives matter protest. stephanie, talk us through this story. tell us a little bit more about how this originated. well, there was yesterday, priti patel was in the house of commons and then you could feel the tension in the house. not many mps there, but it immediately got rather tense. she was accused of actually not being honest about her... how sorry she was about the case of george floyd
10:52 pm
and everything happening. she then turned to say, well, "i know exactly what racism is because when i was a young girl, i was called a pocky." and she told us her experience of recommendations of her name —— trying to change her last name to get a job. this has now become a very unhelpful route between the government and parts of the labour party —— ro. keir starmer has distanced himself from this letter. it shows that any side, it's a very tribal side about races in them which i think is not very helpful —— racism. looking as a german at the british government, it is very diverse. it has a very good record of getting people from all ethnic
10:53 pm
groups in this country. weather is priti patel or chancellor or a lot charming. —— a lot charming. i wish there was less emotion and less politicizing of this debate. is something like this being politicized? that's certainly the accusation that the government would level at these particular labour mps. if you think about the reason this was fuelled in the first place, one of the things that took off was priti patel was very critical of the police for not intervening when that statue of edward colston was pulled down in bristol in the weekend. some interpreted that as her being not sympathetic to the call is a black lives matter. she is the home secretary what is herjob to uphold
10:54 pm
law and order. i think there is something a bit uncomfortable. about the position of the labour leader, about basically accusing priti patel, who is a politician from a black and ethnic minority, and she's basically been accused of gas lighting the issue by these particular labour politicians, which isn't a particularly good book for her. —— good book. basically they are saying she is using her experience to silence this issue. it will be interesting to see if this i’ui'is will be interesting to see if this runs into the weekend because it certainly been bubbling around since the beginning of the week, itjust seems to be an issue that's sort of galvanising both sides because they can see that actually, it's a very difficult issue for either side. i think that's again why labour... there's nobody that's going to come out of this brilliant. if it goes on
10:55 pm
in this way. people taking lumps out of each other rather than addressing theissue of each other rather than addressing the issue about ongoing concerns of racial inequality. in one sentence, stephanie, someone who is trying to address it is the storm's e wrapper making a pledge of £1 million.|j think this is a very good decision by stormzy. he has a long record of addressing black people's problems. i think what is... thank you so much. that's perfect. stephanie and caroline, thank you so much forjoining me for this first edition of the papers. that's it for the papers. if you're in the uk, stefanie and caroline will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered

a lot going on with our weather and it's all being driven by an area of low pressure. this beautiful swell of cloud on the satellite picture and rather than moving through quickly, this area of low pressure is just quickly, this area of low pressure isjust going to quickly, this area of low pressure is just going to sit around and spin areas of rain up in our direction. risk winds for a time as well and with the flow of air, tap into something rather warm and potentially quite humid. to - up, be some potentially quite humid. to - up, 0er some potentially quite humid. to - up, of re som feel. lot of
