of covid—19 have now been confirmed worldwide. the number of new cases has gone up by one million in just four days. in brazil, one of the worst—affected countries, health workers have urged the international criminal court to investigate president bolsonaro‘s government. they accuse it of crimes against humanity over its handling of the virus. the us civil rights leader john lewis, who died ten days ago, is lying in state at the capitol rotunda in washington. the tribute is reserved for american statesmen and military leaders, including twelve presidents. israel says it fired on hezbollah militants
11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. welcome back to you both. let us have a look through some of the papers that have come in the past 30 minutes or so. papers that have come in the past 30 minutes oi’ so. summer papers that have come in the past 30 minutes or so. summer holidays hang in the balance. that is on the front page of the mail. for an office setting all but essential travel it's already so for the mainland. this is for 14 day quarantines on return. those announced on midnight. it comes as the downing street tells the public the disruption as
11:32 pm
possible for any holiday abroad during the pandemic and that is the main splash for the eye. all travel is now at risk, saying that there are fears that the quarantine rules can be applied to other countries as well. reports on the front page for the telegraph that quarantine for the telegraph that quarantine for the uk into spain can be cut from 14 to ten and that is all depended on the test. they have to test negative for the virus. the metro questions the effectiveness of the quarantine rules are together, saying that only one person has been found by police in england or wales for breaching the requirement to self—isolate after arriving from abroad. the mirror, splash holiday chaos, 14 million bricks stay at home and they will be shunning what other holidays they had booked to leave the
11:33 pm
country, chaos they describe it for the travel industry. the guardian has fears of a second wave of coronavirus in europe, they say they continuing outbreaks raise the prospect of new restrictions in france, belgium and germany from social care in england and brought under control of an enlarged nhs. that is being denied, i think so far. and welcome back to you both. starting with the times, a picture of britain arriving across the airport yesterday, a few hours ago, all travel now at risk and holiday—makers saying that it could be pretty uncertain for august for a lot of people. i think it does, and for shovels and the tourism industry. it is all bunk of the government to say that it is at risk
11:34 pm
now, but why do they say this for five weeks ago when we are frustrating to think about getting their breaks abroad. and they're caught between a rock and our place, they really want to get the tourism industry going again and there are a lot british companies that rely on places like spain and at the same time, they must‘ve known that there was a risk that would impose changes like a quarantine on very short notice. so i feel that they have done the right thing that should've been much more up front with the british public entry treated them much more like grown—ups been clear from the very start that if you're going to travel abroad, it's at your own risk and they may have to quarantine when you get back. they find it clear that when you look at how the tenses laid this out, downing street insisting that rules on overseas travel randy costa review, but at least 11 european countries are quarantine is still possible, have higher rates of infection rates than we do here.
11:35 pm
belgium and croatia to name two. infection rates than we do here. belgium and croatia to name twom is quite baffling in this decision taken was when two people came back from spain in every single one of them tested positive with coronavirus and statistically, that is really quite small given how prevalent the virus is across the uk with collective positive covid—19 cases all the time here. but clearly, ministers are very aware of people coming back in its spreading out of control again because they do not want to face the consequences of another lockdown of the thing getting out of control and that is how it happened the first time when people are coming up throughout the country and spreading from those travellers into their homes and communities and that sort of thing. so the reason why they've acted quite quickly in regards to spain in the highlands and the canary islands as well, it is because of the feel of what that is about. but his sun is saying, there are so much uncertainty for people that these
11:36 pm
travel accommodations are brought in just as an indication by the government that they wanted to encourage the industry in the wanted people to go abroad in come back here as well. now, today what they're saying is there is a risk to everything and it is really mixed messaging. they want us to go on holiday or not was back i did not know the answer to that. apparently they have been told that there was a strong chance that there would be quarantine and post before he went to spain but he took one for the tea m to spain but he took one for the team because he did not want to have privileged information and is now on his way home. i don't know if you've heard that as well if it has been confirmed. looking at the mirror, holiday chaos, 14 million bricks to stay at home and quarantines in shambles, it says that it is going to be devastating for the european tourism industry. absolutely and if you look at what is happened, share
11:37 pm
prices have taken a hit and airlines have taken a hit as well, i pick it is quite interesting that the mirror also focuses on the potential boost to uk tourism and there is a potential for people to go on holiday if they do feel there is a risk to going abroad, but absolutely it is really bad news to the travel sector and the question that they're asking is it is a couple of regions in spain where they have seen an uptick in infections and it has not affected the eye was the canary islands and by the same way, so, why can we not have regional extensions. the government does not want down that route because people might be able to get around them, travel to and from the maintenance, to the islands and flying back and other countries will start to also reach extensions and so i think people really have to take the message from government at surface, for what it
11:38 pm
is, if your book and how it is abroad, they are going to be a risk the summer. summer holidays thing in the summer. summer holidays thing in the balance. that is the splash for the balance. that is the splash for the mail as well. michael gove was planning a trip which is now going to cancel as well and realising that the foreign office advises. but for a family, to people who have been through three or four months, perhaps in lockdown and the stages, with young children trying to get away, this is impossible, is need for people who need to take time off work and still don't know if they're going to take another few weeks and we get back. indeed and i think the messaging around this is very difficult to have some sympathy with the government because they have beenin the government because they have been ina the government because they have been in a situation where they've had to face very uncertain conditions were going to have to acce pt conditions were going to have to accept that we are in the middle of accept that we are in the middle of a global pandemic that is part of the foreseeable future. but for the other hand, the uncertainty is a big
11:39 pm
problem for those families because a lot of people can't stay at home for 14 days if you've got a job like me are you staring at computer screens oi'i are you staring at computer screens on day, you can get by the leaving the house for a few weeks. in producing 60 paragraphs per day. but, if you're in my situation, it is fine, but it is not for a lot of people and they really do feel for the millions of britons who feel this is their big moment because there's going to be another lockdown in the future and we wanted to take this opportunity to get there, have a holiday, enjoy a break and offer a lot of people come with a risk that quarantine, it is simply not viable and the quarantine may be shortened to ten days, but still, that is a lot of risk and what we are now going to face is cancelling flights. you can see the whole idea of some holidays collapsing pretty quickly.
11:40 pm
and more airlines going out of business. the metro pointing out that actually, a lot of people might think that when they come back, do we really need to bother with quintiq casinos going to check up on it? the border union is saying that they say there not enforcement going on and people have been fined for breaking the 14 day quarantine in some of them from the same household and there are not the spot checks going on the people, this is a really tricky thing because the lock down and lockdown restrictions, they rely on people wanting to do the right thing and is never the resources to police lockdown absolutely. in general, people stuck by it, not in fear of being fine. the issue with quarantine a slightly different from the lockdown itself because more lockdown, there was a
11:41 pm
real sense that we are all in this together and we are doing it at the same time, whereas in quarantine, you're coming back you have in the quarantine when lots of people around you are not quarantining. and this needs to be a little bit more spot checking around a 40 day quarantine but it does not look like the government has put the resources they need to go into it. quarantine might be cut to ten days but talk us through this. this is relying on much better testing, isn't it? indeed and when he said this, the aim was to have those test turned around a 24 hours and we have not seen much data or progress update on what exactly is happening with that. by what exactly is happening with that. by the telegraph is reporting 14 daysin by the telegraph is reporting 14 days in ten days, so if you come back from somewhere, you got to spend a decent home and jeff to get a coronavirus test and if that comes back negative for two days, then you can go out and about under way
11:42 pm
again. so, i begin does represent a bit of progress and will try to lessen the load. but again, coming back to this question, there's not much transparency about why it days of being chosen here, it looks a bit like a number picked out of thin air, but this is a good thing and it is happening. but we do need more clarity on what is happening with the testing because it cannot be turned around and 14 or 24 hours, then the whole thing falls apart. turned around and 14 or 24 hours, then the whole thing falls apartm would be a weekend and today. and i understand what you're saying. but when you're looking at this, other countries seem to be able to test and get the results back quite quickly, don't they? yeah, and there's been a lot ofjustified criticism about government around testing. a feeling that we are manipulating the figures to reach that target and a lot of emphasis on
11:43 pm
at—home tests and apparently, they have been scrapped now because they're just not that effective and it was not clear how many of them we re it was not clear how many of them were actually getting tested in laboratory with results going back to people. and particularly, the who said all along that when it comes to minimising the risk, absolutely key that the infrastructure that you need run tests, track and trace. so, essentially you're spotting the very little local outbreaks and stopping them from getting bigger. and i think there are very serious questions about whether the government has that infrastructure in place. the track and trace scheme, that would not be fully operational until autumn, they're supposed to be having in up and running thing that attracts people, and when you look at across the continent, some there were much better at the infrastructure of this in the early days, they are already
11:44 pm
seeing the risk of the second wave, countries like germany for example. it feels like we need this infrastructure in place. in the prime minister who had a near—death experience in covid—i9, now going to the pain of early morning runs. the front page is a letter from the famous artist, attacking the prime minister for his attitude towards this and it's really quite bizarre saying this because when boris johnson was a columnist for the telegraph, many years ago, the one thing you left attacking was the nanny state, that they could or couldn't do it. and now he has suddenly become in favour and has been campaigning for these sorts of actions to tackle obesity for years and was attacked by boris johnson. so, the whole thing is spun out on is said and he has said yes, we could all lead healthier lives, you
11:45 pm
better come and drink better, but what kind of life that the be is his view on that, which would be an argument mr johnson himself view on that, which would be an argument mrjohnson himself used but it's ironic that the prime minister comes in with his very libertarian attitude, it happened with david cameron, theresa may and our boris johnson. they want to protect the individuals right of liberty to do what they want with their lives, but then they see the public health evidence and for mr johnson, then they see the public health evidence and for mrjohnson, it is a bit about coronavirus he's completely convinced that his way was to do why the virus him so bad if you want on a diet and now he wants the rest of the country to do so as wants the rest of the country to do so as well. it will see how effective it is, but the scientific evidence is clear, you do this, you save the nhs money and you fundamentally save lives stop . advertising in pre—9 p:m., it's a good thing, though to be honest, and it's a go a lot further, why not put
11:46 pm
it's a go a lot further, why not put it together. but the prime minister has shied away from tougher regulatory measures that we know from the evidence is needed to bring obesity levels down in this country. we are talking about an extension of the sugar tax, things like compulsory reformulation of food that contain high fat sugar insults and over time, increase levels of the time that changed our pallets, they pack their foods full of fat sugar and salt that's cheap and addictive it makes a much harder to eat healthily, so this idea that is putting up it's all about personal responsibility and personal choice, it just doesn't sit responsibility and personal choice, itjust doesn't sit right when we have very abusive environments wherever you go out, everywhere you're eating, which are putting down from the supermarket shelf, it does tend to be fattier, unhealthy was 40 or years ago. going to the
11:47 pm
guardian, exclusive care by the health policy editor in the nhs could take over social care in england but seems to be denied, talk us england but seems to be denied, talk us through. this is a fascinating story because it is brought in columnist at the ft who once worked to the policy unit for every cameron and has written extensively of the many years of her health policy and how to solve the social care crisis in reporting that they have been brought in to try and find solve this issue and with the table is bringing social care away from the authorities the central government and having control that would increase the department project by a billion or so, according to the guardian story it is denied by the government that is saying they're still working on proposing for the re st of still working on proposing for the rest of it and what the coronavirus crisis is shown is that this does need to be tackled and that this was looked at well over a decade ago and
11:48 pm
was essentially knowing what the answer is to be, it's got to be some kind of ceiling and floor on taxes to take many people to pay for that social care in the many people who pay, the maximum amount, there is a long time ago. and it's pretty straightforward and the problem is, it takes a lot of political work to do this because you are telling people that they're going to have to ta ke people that they're going to have to take with some of your assets from you and from a conservative government, this is something that they very much don't like doing. but i think they've given that coronavirus has so many policy areas, his government has that majority that the think they can get this through and actually, the person working for this proposal has great confidence in that they will come to the right conclusions. let us come to the right conclusions. let us have another look at the times, taxpayer funded electric bikes to get more cyclists on the road. why electric bikes? to get cyclists on
11:49 pm
the road, they may pedals. this is a package to get us walking and cycling more. when idea is that there will be a subsidy on electric bikes because they are more expensive and there around £3000, i think the idea is that you pedal but they are electric assisted, they mightappearto they are electric assisted, they might appear to people on cycling, but we like to do some activity, but some of the papers are reporting on some of the papers are reporting on some of the other measures that i think are really important because i used to bike a bit more during this pandemic but i'm still very relu cta nt to pandemic but i'm still very reluctant to go out during traffic because i feel quite nervous in london road sign dropping the bike lanes are good enough, i do not think there is not protection compared to the stories a like
11:50 pm
amsterdam. —— compared to places like amsterdam. it's sits about lake court areas and to get them to spend more money are properly protected lanes which, i am not sure about the institutional setup of it, but i would love to see better bike lanes and... quite a lot in london and i suppose that is a lot of people have not gone out and bought their electric scooter. i was like the last thing... to make electric bikes, electric scooters i can do whatever they can to get people not on public transport and also to stop the spread of coronavirus because of people are squashed up on a bus around ina people are squashed up on a bus around in a tube together, that is a breeding ground for the virus to spread between person—to—person there. those electric bikes, i've used a couple of them during the crisis and you start pedaling in the
11:51 pm
give you a push along and makes it easier for cycling and it is great for cities, those were commuting in london and birmingham, manchester, newcastle. those kinds of places. we go outside of cities, commuting via cars, it is well over 75% in the re st of cars, it is well over 75% in the rest of the country, so while we get very excited about cycling and the importance of cities, most of the country is going to have much impact for them. brendan hills is no joke, ican for them. brendan hills is no joke, i can tell you. we must leave it there. thank you very much. maybe you could have done with some of those electric petals. you could have done with some of those electric petalslj you could have done with some of those electric petals. i could have, but i'm too old. thank you both very much for taking us through the first additions of the papers.
