less understand that they are less likely to die of this thing than older people and they do have to look out for their older relatives older friends, other people in the community as well. i think it's good that he's got this message back out there, butjust going back to it, i think the broad majority of people are very careful. a lot of people are very careful. a lot of people are wearing the masks, people are still social distancing, but it's time that he's got this message back out there. benedicte, it's interesting, i will go global with us. interesting, i will go global with us. we are broadcasting to the world. what we found out yesterday from the us and the briefing from doctor found she and the vice president, mike pence, is that actually half of the new cases of coronavirus in the states are actually infections of under 35. so actually, that group is rising in terms of infections in the states, for example. yes, it does, but that if we think we have had mixed m essa 9 es if we think we have had mixed messages here and suddenly we have about masks and face coverings, i haven't yet seen the prime minister
10:46 pm
who almost died from covid—i9 wearing a mask. public messaging is not just about words, it's about behaviour. as i do notjust as i say come in certainly french president macro was seen six come in certainly french president macro was seen six or seven come in certainly french president macro was seen six or seven weeks ago very clearly in a very determined way wearing a mask. 50 in the united states, not determined way wearing a mask. so in the united states, not only have we not seen the president wear masks, i think we have onlyjust, is it today, seen the vice president wearing a mask. i don't know if he actually was wearing one, benedicte. il mackey came onto stage and took up il mackey came onto stage and took up mask that i saw. i stand corrected, that's what i think i saw. i will have to replay the tape. i meant i will stand by your words on that. i hope i'm not factually incorrect. the public messaging has been all over the place. this line by president from sink and a welcome if we are going to do more testing, we are going to get more cases, this is quite extraordinarily worrying, almost on a level with people attempting to inject themselves, that was supposed
10:47 pm
to bea inject themselves, that was supposed to be a joke with disinfectant. i think it means we really need responsible not just think it means we really need responsible notjust experts, but leaders all stop at his worrying that it seems that the under 35 so getting it, but are they hanging out on beaches in florida or elsewhere being too close to each other? nobody is invincible. that is what this virus, the big lesson is. the other big lesson is do we actually need to share data, solutions, when the vaccine comes, all of those things, much more sharing in real time needs to be done, but the sharing that mustn't be done is to be closer than one metre or officially here in the united kingdom still, well, it is one metre now, and inference it has been for a while. but look, let's be cautious, thatis while. but look, let's be cautious, that is the thing. we can enjoy ourselves but enjoy yourselves cautiously. the good news is that we are doing this paper review at a very very safe distance, aren't we? one more thing on the holiday story before we move on, michael, another
10:48 pm
detailfrom the times before we move on, michael, another detail from the times that i found quite interesting, it's hoped that a reciprocal agreement will be brokered with australia and new zealand. although this is unlikely for several weeks. it's very different getting on a short flight, hop over to europe, but getting on a plane to australia is another matter. i mean come it's not a direct flight for a start, you will exchange to singapore or somewhere else, why do you think they've decided, or why is this something that might be happening as reported, and do you think people are going to wa nt to and do you think people are going to want to get on a long flight like that? i think it's one of those destinations where there is a huge amount of ex—pat families. a lot of people have been split up for a long, long time, so i imagine there isa long, long time, so i imagine there is a lot of people both in australia and new zealand who would like to come this way and see family and vice versa. there's also a lot of people who have probably been marooned here and have been working here before this, they want to go
10:49 pm
back home, australia and new zealanders. i think there will be a ta ke zealanders. i think there will be a take upon it, but i think out of all of these things, i don't think there's going to be a huge mad rush, because people are sensible. people know their limitations, they know they don't want to get this disease, and it's not as if we are all going to be running down to gatwick airport piling onto planes, i think there is still a great deal of caution other, but it's nice to know that this thing is easing, and if we do think sensibly, we can sort of get back to a bit of normality. one more quick think i'm actually, i normally cover south asia, obviously in the uk at the moment, is that pa rt in the uk at the moment, is that part of the world for example that hasn't really hit its peak? so whilst many people in the world are talking about things getting better, also some places, for example, where also some places, for example, where a lot of brits have family in places like india and pakistan, things are only getting worse, benedicte. yes, that is obviously a concern, and it will be interesting to see how the foreign office says it will be constantly revising that traffic
10:50 pm
system that will be announced next week by the government by ministers and in which countries whether india or pakistan or others will be in the red light system, therefore a problem for brits to go to, of course, what people need to bear in mind as well is that they may not have the insurance cover to go there. that will be one thing. when we talk about going to new zealand are going to america, of course, there are longer flights. there are also much higher prices. so it may give people pause for thought and it may be that air bridges with other european countries may be easier. we talked about second waves. in some of the reading of done tonight, i've been reading about third orfourth waves, and of course, what we have seen waves, and of course, what we have seen is countries that are beginning to ease their lockdowns, whether it's the united kingdom, germany we have seen recently, france, spain, italy or others, there are some
10:51 pm
local hotspots, and it will be important to see how individual countries deal with that. benedicte, that brings us onto the new york times, the next story we are going to be talking about, which is how the world learns to live with this pandemic. there is no vaccine, so it is the new normal, and it's interesting, there are some details and there it says that china, restau ra nt and there it says that china, restaurant workers and delivery drivers are being tested block by block. in south korea, people are told to carry two different types of facemasks for different social situations in germany, requires community to crack down on the number of infections hit certain thresholds. michael, we are all having to adapt to this. this you know as benedict says could be many, many waves yet. well, we are an adaptable bunch humans, andi well, we are an adaptable bunch humans, and i think we have come through and off think we have come through and off think we have come through and off think we have come through an awful lot. as you say, there is still acting out its horrors all over the world of the moment in various different levels, and we just have to find various coping strategies. i think we are
10:52 pm
seemingly through the worst for the time being at the moment. what we don't know is exactly, does it come back and waves? doesn't come back in spikes? i think both science is still not quite sure on how it was. we heard chris whitty earlier in the week very very cautious about the future and how we are going to live with it for another year, and would be very surprised if it just just go away by christmas, but there is still the difference of opinions between medics both here and across the world, butjust going back to its, we do seem to have found a strategy at the moment to cope at the moment. we will see how the next week or so goes. july the 4th next weekend is going to be a big moment for this country to see if our strategy is working, it will be interesting to see if the infection rates will be picking up after what's been going on on various beaches after protests in the last month or so, but at the moment, we think we are getting there but we don't know what's around the corner with this thing. in the last few minutes that we have, let's talk
10:53 pm
about something a bit later maybe, or maybe not, the daily telegraph says that one in four of us want a life change after lockdown. it says more than a quarter of adults are considering changes to their home, job or relationship because of their experience of lockdown. that's actually from the office for national statistics. so benedict, what do you make of that? to want to go and run away and do something com pletely go and run away and do something completely different now? the only thing i went to run away from or for isa thing i went to run away from or for is a holiday. if i could wave a magic wand, i'd be in hawaii swimming with dolphins. i've done it once in the bahamas and it was magical. i don't want to run away from my life, but yes, it does make you think much more about what you value, what you don't, what you are spending your life doing are you, who you care about, no, i haven't bought a dog, which quite a few people have done some are going to
10:54 pm
be fantastic masters and mistresses of their dogs. the weighing thing there is that some may not be, also that dogs may have separation anxiety. i do know people who are radically the most common phenomenon that they don't have to be in the centre, whether it's the british capital, french capital or and an urban setting, that they can actually do quite a lot of work. perhaps when they see and solve the problems that one can have as i did last week coming coming back from a funeral event to take two trains, or having had to take a bus in a train and something else, maybe that will put a few people off, i'm a city girl, and i'm intending on staying right where i am doing what i do. 0k, right where i am doing what i do. ok, a minute left, sol right where i am doing what i do. ok, a minute left, so i would like to know what you make of that as well, usually in lockdown you know, people get the chance to think about things more, don't they? what did
10:55 pm
you think of this report?|j things more, don't they? what did you think of this report? i can just imagine ina you think of this report? i can just imagine in a couple of months' time we alljust imagine in a couple of months' time we all just end imagine in a couple of months' time we alljust end up going back to the same old work, we are just a bunch of dozy dreamers coming up with these big schemes, and you know it's all going to change, and this time next year, will be a millionaire, will be building boats in the bahamas,... just will be building boats in the bahamas, . .. just the will be building boats in the bahamas,... just the same old places. benedicte in hawaii next year. just for a swim just for a swim. benedicte will be in -- michael will be in the bahamas. the highest thing will be 42% that people want to change theirjobs, let's see if we are all here in a yea r‘s let's see if we are all here in a year's time. thanks to both of you benedicte a michael, lovely to spend a bit of time with you on friday evening. that's it for the papers. if you're in the uk, by and by will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered
