welcome to bbc news with me, tim wilcox. prime minister boris johnson is promising to speed up major building projects, to help the economy recover from the coronavirus pandemic. he will set out the details in a speech on tuesday. the prime minister wants to accelerate the construction of schools, hospitals and roads. labour says the government's response to the crisis has been too slow and is putting jobs at risk. also, the home secretary, priti patel, has confirmed that new tougher lockdown restrictions may have to be imposed again in leicester because of a surge in the number of cases of coronavirus. as coronavirus cases in the us pass 2.5 million, states including florida and texas re—impose restrictions. and across the globe, cases of coronavirus has passed 10 million.

more on those stories in a moment, but first on the prime minister's plan for the british economy, here's our political correspondent nick eardley. not something you see every day. the prime minister doing push—ups on the floor in downing street, to try to show he is, in his words, "as fit as a butcher's dog," after his fight with coronavirus. perhaps he is hoping a metaphor as well because this week he will reveal his plan for getting the economy back in shape after lockdown. telling the mail on sunday, "this has been a huge, "huge shock to the country, but we are going to "bounce back very well. "we want to build our way back to health". to do that, he is returning to a familiar theme. we are going to unite and level up. unite and level up. to do that, he is setting up a task force, the not so subtly

named project speed, to push through major infrastructure projects. new schools, hospitals and roads. next weekend, the lockdown will be eased further in england. part of the plan to get the economy moving. there's been a great deal of work across government in terms of investing in the hospitality sector, so pubs, restaurants, bars. to get them reopened, it is all part of the road map that the government outlined and we support restarting that part of the economy. jobs and livelihoods are at stake here. in terms of people going, i would say go, be responsible, follow the guidance. but the economic challenge is huge and labour is worried. it wants the job retention scheme extended for those sectors hardest hit by the crisis, warning that without it unemployment could reach levels not seen since the 1980s. the prime minister, he is very good at words, he is very good at the big, grand promises, the world beating test and trace system that was going to be in place by june the 1st. all the other promises he has made. the problem is there is a grand canyon between his

rhetoric and the reality. take the furlough. if he was really serious about protecting jobs, he wouldn't be pulling the rug out from under businesses and workers. if he was really serious about creating jobs, he would have a budget forjobs this summer to help our young people. borisjohnson is making a promise. that his answer to the economic challenge won't be more austerity. but with a huge jump in spending and less money coming in, there are big questions over how this will all be paid for and what it will mean for the long—term future of the economy. earlier we spoke further to nick, who said it wasn't entirely clear how the prime minister was planning to balance the books for the economy. it is the $100 billion question here, isn't it? because the problem borisjohnson has is huge. it's that he has a vast increase in spending happening through the furlough scheme. he has a vast amount of borrowing coming for infrastructure,

but at the same time, we have seen the economy shrink significantly and, because of that, there is far less money coming in. so it is a huge question for a conservative government, what do you do in the long term to stabilise the economy? we had sirjohn major, the former tory prime minister, saying yesterday, for now, you're just going to have to borrow money, but down the line, you are going to have to raise tax. and when we hear from the prime minister on tuesday, i think you will get that big picture, here's what we want to do to get things back to something resembling normal in terms of growth, but the bigger question, in many ways, is how you make it sustainable in the long term and that's one there just isn't an answer to just now. but the politics of this is with that thumping majority which he got at the end of last year, breaking through that red wall, and all the things that he promised the people up in those constituencies, politically, he has got to do that, hasn't he? yes, the so—called levelling up agenda that we heard him talking about for months and months and months before this crisis, which, frankly he has not been

able to deliver yet. because there has been so much going on in government. it is also, quite frankly, a bit of a reset for the government because, in the last few weeks, we have seen them reacting to events, u—turns on things like school meals, the nhs app, on the surcharge that foreign nurses face in the nhs. there is a big concern within the conservative party that the government is reacting to, rather than shaping events and this is all about trying to say, here's what we're planning to do over the next few months, we've got some control, we've got a plan for the economy, but as ed miliband was reflecting there, and was in the piece, there are huge questions needing to be answered. it is not simply sing, he had on some projects we had in the pipeline, that we will make upa we had in the pipeline, that we will make up a bit faster, there are huge questions about the long—term future of the economy as well. nick ea rdley. the number of confirmed cases

of coronavirus around the world has now passed ten million. the figure comes from johns hopkins university in the united states. close to half a million people have died. john mcmanus reports. it's a grim milestone. covid—19 emerged just six months ago in china. now its relentless march across the world has had devastating health and economic repercussions. as well as the 10 million infections, the death toll is approaching 500,000. more than 125,000 of those deaths have occurred in the us, the highest global death toll from the virus. and now in some states, the situation is deteriorating as cases surge. florida is one place that wanted to fully reopen, a bars there have been ordered to stop selling alcohol on the premise.
