it's notjust about people having a lovely night out in the west end, it's about the infrastructure of the creative industries in this country and about people's jobs, jobs that will go forever unless they step in now. i want to be back in this theatre either on this stage or in one of those seats as soon as possible, and more than that, i want the people that are the beating heart of this building, which are the staff, reinstated as soon as possible. today, the scottish government announced a £10 million fund to support the performing arts. the uk government says it's given unprecedented financial help to thousands of arts organisations — and next week, it'll give venues a timetable to prepare for their safe reopening. at sadler‘s wells in london, they say that unless something's done quickly, they could close by the autumn. like many theatres, they depend on most seats being full to break even. in a social distancing environment,

we are probably down to about 20% or 30% of our house, so that's quite difficult to do in theatre because of the finances you need onstage to make a show happen. so, really, we're thinking about how we might make some special programmes that we can do in that circumstance, but what we really need is to get back to full capacity. today, the national theatre said it would not be able to employ its 400 casual staff beyond the end of august. and for southampton‘s nuffield theatres, it's already too late. despite its new building only opening two years ago, lockdown has created cash flow so severe, their stages will now stay dark for good. judith moritz, bbc news. the prime minister said today that recreational cricket will resume next weekend. yesterday, borisjohnson said it wasn't safe to play the game at grassroots level because of issues with "teas and dressing rooms". the government will be

publishing fresh guidelines "in the next few days". that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

welcome to bbc news. hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world; it's now time for us to take a first look at the national and international front pages in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stevens, deputy political editor at the daily mail, and susie boniface, columnist at the daily mirror. tomorrow's front pages starting with. ..

the evening before some pubs and restaurants open in the uk, the chancellor rishi sunak tells the times that britons need to start spending in order to prevent a generation of young people being ‘lost‘ to coronavirus. the japan times leads with the country's government considering changes to the law in order to step up its fight against covid—19, including punishment for those who refuse to adhere to quarantine orders. the financial times says the uk is in talks tojoin an eu plan to secure supplies of a potential coronavirus vaccine. the new york times says mistakes made by the british government have left domestic abuse victims at risk during lockdown. the i leads with with the 59 countries that britons will be allowed to travel to from tenth july without needing to quarantine on their return. the mirror has a picture of prince william toasting the re—opening of pubs in england as an ‘important day‘ in the fight against covid—19.

but the daily mail headlines a warning from the uk health secretary matt hancock ahead of ‘super saturday‘ — warning that people will be arrested if they break the law. so let's begin... if they break the law. but if they break the law. start with the look at the papers. but start with the look at the papers. thank you both forjoining me. let's start with the holidays getting the green light on the eye newspaper. 3a destinations are still restricting uk arrivals but there is no need to quarantine when you return to england from 59 countries and 1a territories. susie come does this mean summer rae save?“ and 1a territories. susie come does this mean summer rae save? if you've already paid for your holiday are you have a really reason to want to go somewhere, because you have family perhaps, or work or someone that you are desperate to see because you have been unlocked after a long time i don't doubt you will be very glad of being able to get

away. but if you are looking to perhaps have a holiday in the tourism industry would like to sell you a holiday, the chances are this will not make a big difference to you. because we have is got to the end of the phila period and we have got to the end of the first mortgage holiday and are 12,000 people lost theirjobs this week and a million more perhaps that i do in the next few weeks. —— further period. people are being very careful with their cash. it is all very well and say there are 59 countries that will let us there are 59 countries that will let us in but there are 30 odd that will not. this actually is a shocking example of how many countries have got a better covert infection rate then we have. 59 countries have done better than us. -- covid-19 infection rate. a sobering thought. as we look at all the guidelines about travel, it is also quite confusing. yes. really confusing. i don't think the government have really helped make it any less

confusing. the policies repeatedly being delayed in different countries behind the scenes on the list and off of the lesson on the list, and it will only apply to people arriving back into england and it will not apply to people coming into scotland and wales. it is been such a mess that this morning the transport secretary was on the radio and tv and he was suggesting that you have to quarantine if you came back from greece and then we find out this afternoon that actually you would not have to quarantine. he was talking about the traffic light policies and in some countries will be red and amber and some will be green and there is no sign of that this afternoon so it is really confusing to people. and it dents people confidence. if you're looking to spend a lot of money, put down deposits for a holiday, you want to make sure that you'll be able to go there and get back and you will have your holiday cancelled and it is quite hard to get travel insurance at the moment because of coronavirus and it is a known problem and the

government shaky behaviour putting countries on and off will not give people the confidence they need to buy a holiday. so the confidence is one thing. the mood is another. but going back to that point that some of these countries when i actually let citizens from the uk in, a bit more on that. yes. we found out yesterday that stanley johnson, boris's that come has been able to get the grits despite not being allowed to go to greece by going by allowed to go to greece by going by a bavaria. —— getting to greece despite. if you were to return this morning he would perhaps be able to get into the country by going via scotla nd get into the country by going via scotland and northern ireland are well. the government say that now when he comes back from greece whenever that is, he'd he can just fly direct to london which is very convenient for him. but there will also be come if there are quarantine demands for people to self—isolate after they return home from a different country, there are people

who would not be able to go on holiday because that would mean they will lose theirjob. they were having at the two weeks after having had a holiday wish they would perhaps lose a job or a lot of pay. so this is something that the air quarantine scheme to start with with a terrible idea to introduce it at the end of a lockdown initiative introduced at the beginning with temperature test at the airport and it isa temperature test at the airport and it is a way of stopping any blue—collar workers now and anybody who doesn't have much money and quibbling the tourism industry even further. it is madness from one end to the other. other home nations are calling these policies symbolic. with the make of that? -- shambala. i often would not agree with nicola sturgeon on many things but she said today has been dealing with like shifting sand. that is right looking at how things seem to have changed ordinarily basis but the criticism from other countries we have seen saying hang on a minute, the uk is saying hang on a minute, the uk is saying we will not let people from your country into the uk lsu

quarantine for two weeks on your arrival. but they are saying we are less coronavirus cases in the uk have so what is the point. the spectacle this evening at the prime ministera spectacle this evening at the prime minister a portable tweeting a pie chart showing the upper had a population in the al guard were a lot of people of britain would like to go on holiday we have three times as many coronavirus cases as here in the uk. -- as many coronavirus cases as here in the uk. —— prime minister of portugal. more on the coronavirus going to the japan times now. they are reporting some alarm as the virus appears to be affecting more youth. they are reporting in a week—long surge apparently been made worse by a growing number of infections, primarily among young people that officials are tracing to bars, cafes and other nightlife destinations. that is quite a worrying picture. yes. especially as we're just worrying picture. yes. especially as we'rejust coming at worrying picture. yes. especially as we're just coming at a lockdown and opening up some of my nightlife and

other destinations. what this is about it, 124 cases reported on friday, mostly in tokyo, 97 of them are in their20s friday, mostly in tokyo, 97 of them are in their 20s and 30s, 69%. 44% of them almost half seem to have been traced back to nightlife in places like that. but part of this may be because they have recently introduced some extra testing within and going to the bars, the finding more young people out there for finding more positive cases. and scientist in japan are finding more positive cases. and scientist injapan are afraid that what this means is that while they may not be ill, they are positive for the infection and therefore the virus is spreading and asymptomatic fashion in younger populations and therefore younger people are not isolated from the rest of the world, they can have all the relatives and honourable people who are ill within their own families or social units. and spreading it to the more vulnerable and it is something worth bearing in mind will receive a lot

of evidence in this country of people who are younger, less likely to be affected being perhaps a little bit more cavalier attitude towards the risk and the risk or not you, the risk are to other people. that applies to all of us regardless of our age. that is why wearing mask and social distancing is so important and why just and social distancing is so important and whyjust opening and having a lockdown listed in saying you can all got to the pub now is not any kind of a clue to the fact this is not over. it is not over. it is merely halfway to the pandemic. we still have a lot further to go. this report is making the point that this could be the fact that testing is ramping up, causing some sort of age distribution from evening out amongst the cases that we are saying. but is there a reason to be alarmed because it also means that there are more symptomatic cases that could be spreading to more

vulnerable people? you if you look at the case injapan, they are extremely low when compared them to other countries. in tokyo theyjust had 18,000 positive cases of coronavirus. but it is quite worrying that it seems to be being spread by young people and there's this idea that young people do not get sick badly affected with the disease, not so bad for them but the problem is because they are not so badly impact if they have it and they go out and spread it around to other people. everyone would really like to see a vaccine happen. that is what the ft we reporting on. it is what the ft we reporting on. it is talking about ministers weighing in eu vaccine pat, london assessing whether the advantage of the european block bargaining power can be useful or striking deals with international drug companies. let's start withjohn. international drug companies. let's start with john. it international drug companies. let's start withjohn. it is the uk going to ove rco m e start withjohn. it is the uk going to overcome their desire for a hard

brexit in order to co—operate along vaccine lines? it is a big decision for ministers. reading the article it seems like the decision of the late but week after week we always say we need a decision this week, and actually that deadline passes and actually that deadline passes and apparently the business secretary is going to speak to numberten and make secretary is going to speak to number ten and make a decision on it this weekend. and countries around the what i try to work out there somewhere it doesn't manage to develop a vaccine for him are we going to be able to buy it up in the uk is already that is on bilateral deal with astrazeneca, they were developing helping one of the possible vaccines but this is the authentic and even of the uk is leaving the eu does have the right to opt into this possible vaccine programme. once we get early in the week that even though this would add a bigger buying power that there are some possible negatives and is not clear whether they would have the same rights to the vaccine if they

did buy in is eu countries and whether it actually would be impact their rights to do bilateral deals with other countries and companies like astrazeneca. there is a wider concern, susie, about four countries that may not be able to get in front of the line as quickly as the richer one. yes. as we saw in donald trump this week, there are richer nations doing everything they can to buy up global stock in various treatments of remdesivir. but what is shocking is eu is doing what any sort of large block of nations would do which is seeking to have its own dealfor its which is seeking to have its own deal for its members. which is seeking to have its own dealfor its members. as the benefits are being in a union but what is shocking is that last week it was being braced that the uk wasn't even taking part in this in any way shape or form, this week now they are showing the fact may be we are thinking about it and considering it. but what they are considering it. but what they are considering according to the ft is london is assessing whether the advantages of the european block

bargaining power to strike deals outweighs the broader political desire to sever ties
