hello, this is bbc news. in a moment, i am going to be taking a look through tomorrow's papers with my guests, but let us remind you of this evenings headlines. president trump's president has tweeted saying he is feeling well. his doctors say he's "in good spirits" as he's treated in hospital for coronavirus. his medical team says the president was admitted as a precautionary measure and is not currently being given oxygen. at this time, the team and i are extremely happy at the progress the president has made. thursday, he had a mild cough with some nasal congestion, fatigue and all of which are resolving and improving. parts of northern england face new coronavirus restrictions from today — including a ban on households mixing indoors

borisjohnson and the president of the european commission say the uk and eu will work intensively to overcome significant gaps in their positions on a post—brexit relationship. at least eight people are missing in south—east france after a powerful storm caused what is being called the worst flooding in living memory. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn rentoul — chief political commentator at the independent and lucy beresford — broadcaster and psychotherapist tomorrow's front pages — many of the front pages

lead on the update from doctors in the us treating donald trump for coronavirus. just how ill is president trump? asks the sunday express. the observer says confusion over the true state of the us president's health has raised doubts over transparency from the white house. the star has a photograph of boris johnson's father sitting in an airport and not covering his face with a mask. the paper claims it's the second time in a week he's been pictured without one. and ‘a royal grilling for sir david' — the daily telegraph shows princes george and louis and princess charlotte, putting questions about their favourite animals to sir david attenborough. so, let's begin. lovely to see you both, telling our

viewers if our line, if we do lose the line, we will continue. but so far so good, we're going to start with the last 2a hours. and that is president trump. the telegraph, lucy, would you like to kick this off? yes, this was held by doctor shawn conley who is playing the medical team at walter reed memorial hospital and that's where president trump was taken in the overall message was they were pleased by president trump's progress and give us president trump's progress and give us little bits of information. but it all started to unravel when the doctor was under, two reasons, really, when he was put under scrutiny about oxygen and when the

president, when donald trump was given oxygen, if he is given it at all, it did seem that doctor conley was being extremely precise with his wording to say that donald trump is not having any oxygen today and journalist really pressed him on this and he also talked about the fa ct this and he also talked about the fact that we were 72 hours into the diagnosis. this is what a lot of the front pages are picking up on. that timeline does not square with the original fact timeline does not square with the originalfact test we timeline does not square with the original fact test we were given on friday and it does give some suspicion to the idea that perhaps donald trump had the symptoms or was showing symptoms of covid—i9 before we we re showing symptoms of covid—i9 before we were actually told, which would then mean that he was taking part in fundraising events, on the thursday

with which he was meeting many people and perhaps potentially putting them at risk. we could say that he has not been on message. that is what the newspapers have been picking up on. many of the front pages. 0h, been picking up on. many of the front pages. oh, dear. we are going to try and reestablish the link with you because we have been losing you. but let us try again. while we do that, if you could just take us to the front pages of the observer and we are still with president trump, fierce crawford donald trump's health over election plans and some of the wording here is very emotive, confusing, transparency, evasive, from that conference and lying about that timeline. there really is a problem with trust with the white house isn't there? almost

immediately after the press conference, a huddle ofjournalists we re conference, a huddle ofjournalists were briefed off the record and there was some footage out on social media of mark meadows, who was the white house chief of staff, which is whatjohn was white house chief of staff, which is what john was about white house chief of staff, which is whatjohn was about to talk about, who said, i kind of got some other information, cameras moving, can we move away from the cameras, i need to talk to you off the record and what he was saying was that actually, it had been a much more worrying situation, that the presidents health was giving much greater cause for concern and within the space of about five minutes, yet these two conflicting stories. which one is fake news, as donald trump might himself say. so, everyone is really pounced on this and what it does do is itjust magnifies the issues around trust, around whether oi’ issues around trust, around whether or not we are beaking full

information —— being given. and what are we supposed to believe? would do you think of what this is doing to the election campaign. if you can even call the campaign? well, there are number of scenarios that are possible. we saw that when boris johnson was admitted hospital, there was an uptick in his approval ratings, as people felt, he had to human concern for the man and they wished him a speedy recovery and there is a possibility that a similar thing could happen with president trump. in particular, it will be interesting to see what kind of man he is. let us see that he does pull through this, but what kind of man will he be? will he become a little bit more sombre? and a little bit more respectful of the illness, of the virus? in a way that perhaps boris johnson was. illness, of the virus? in a way that

perhaps borisjohnson was. normally, borisjohnson is very gregarious and after his hospitalization, one could argue that he became a little bit more subdued. or, it's donald trump going to be a little bit like pulse naro, quitea going to be a little bit like pulse naro, quite a very short episode of covid—i9 and turned around and really tried to downplay it. so, how that plays into the election, some of the electorate within, we are now going to refer donald trump because he isa going to refer donald trump because he is a human being is gone through something really dramatic where as other people going to think, maybe this is more lies, more subterfuge andi this is more lies, more subterfuge and i don't trust him any more. this is more lies, more subterfuge and i don't trust him any morem could be really important factor. going tojohn. could be really important factor. going to john. i could be really important factor. going tojohn. i would like your thoughts before he move off president trump and events in america where we touched on with lucy, just what messaging looks like but also just discussing what this

does to the campaign moving forward in the fact that the democrats are not running any of their negative campaigning and the publications are continuing. what are your thoughts? and suspension, that is bad for donald trump because... got them here withjohn. let's try again. lucy, we are going to move to the front page of the telegraph and full of metropolitan thinkers. what is wrong with them? this is a speech thatis wrong with them? this is a speech that is been given by someone who isn't saying anything that we didn't know before about borisjohnson's attitude towards whitehall civil servants. with their really saying

is that there perhaps to educated, perhaps to much of the thinking policy of people as opposed to people actually get on it and see if they can try to change things. so, we heard this as soon as boris was elected last december, he spoke about going to have a radical overhaul of whitehall and this is perhaps another step in that direction, not least because the conservative party themselves talked about a new headquarters in leeds and there is an expectation that those civil servants can be moved closer to the redwall in towns to really make sure civil servants know what's happening on the ground. otherwise, it's whether the civil service is just too remote to really implement many of the policies that could help people. one of the things

said is that there is basically a desperate shortage of practical skills in the current team. john, let's try again. the third time is lucky, as they say. a broken civil service that is just not working. you might have to relocate. yes, this sounds like more of dominic cummings waragainst the this sounds like more of dominic cummings war against the civil service, which i think is incredibly counterproductive. the one group of people you don't want to upset, if you are a radical government mind to make radical changes is the public officials are going to have to implement those changes. it seems to me incredibly short—sighted. implement those changes. it seems to me incredibly short-sighted. air travel testing, john. to be revamped, they are studying the system of air travel, what do you make of that? that is still in the sunday telegraph. that is on the

front page of the sunday telegraph, comments made by stephen barclay who irememberwas the comments made by stephen barclay who i remember was the brexit secretary who was now being downgraded to a junior treasury minister. we do not hear from him very often. he's made some comments at the virtual conservative party conference today about airport testing and looking at the with the germans do it, which may be more efficient than our idea of to be quarantine. that will take us of to be quarantine. that will take us quite nicely onto the front page of the star. stanleyjohnson photographed an airport, creek airport without a facemask on and what did you make use of the picture ain? what did you make use of the picture again? was he having to remove the mask because he has to move his lips when he was reading the words of this book. i don't know. also, i

wa nt to this book. i don't know. also, i want to know which greek island he is on because some of them, you do have to quarantine when you get back and so, are you going to spark photos of him and some chemist next week when he should be at home isolating? it is really disappointing and it is such a basic instruction to wear a mask and in particular, and places of travel. if you go to heathrow, gatwick, eve ryo ne you go to heathrow, gatwick, everyone is wearing a mask. but, i don't understand why he things that he is above the law. it is an extraordinary situation. when you look at the uk figures of cases, 12,872 up from 7000. yes, but there's an problem with those figures. there's an awful lot of out of date the latest numbers and it is very confusing and they have not the

release of figures very well. because you just do not know where whether the trend is up or not. it looks like there's been a jump because they are counting on figures in today's number. will leave it there for now. now for the next edition from us, john, thank you very much and we'll see you at half past 11. goodbye for now. i am david attenborough. i've had the most extraordinary life. it is only now that i appreciate how extraordinary. the living world is a unique

and spectacular marvel. yet the way we humans live on earth is sending it into a decline. human beings have overrun the world. what an absolute pleasure to be able to speak to you. thank you so much. where are we with the planet right now? how would you summarise and assess it? since i made the first television programme it is three times as many people on the planet as it was then. and we have overrun it. and now we are realising what appalling damage we have done. and as well as realising the damage we are realising how much we are dependent upon the natural world so everything we do, every breath of air we take every mouthful of food we eat comes from the natural world. and if we damage it we damage ourselves.

when did you realise that we were very possibly on that path, as far as you see it? i think the first time i had absolutely indubitable proof was when, back in the 60s, i suppose, when i swam in a reef, a coral reef in australia and it was so damaged. and it is a terrible sight. it is like a cemetery. what was colourful coral swarms of wonderfulfish had now become bleached white and now they can recover but not from repeated assaults of increases in temperature. and that was a sign to me that humanity is capable of exterminating whole communities, enormous communities of living creatures. i've been making television programmes and certainly for the last 20, 30 years i have

ended each of them by saying, look, the world is in peril, look, we are damaging it. and it is all humanity's fault. and very little has happened. and yet suddenly, within the last five years, maybe, suddenly, it is as though people have been moving up and it is young people, really. it is young people who are shaking it up and not before time. hello, my name is david attenborough and i have been appearing on radio and television for the past 60 years but this is my first time on instagram. and i'm making this move and exploring this new way of communicating to me because, as we all know, the world is in trouble. congratulations. you're the fastest person to get a 1 million followers on instagram.

i don't know if you know that. i've edited the paper this morning. so, why instagram and why now? well, i'm so old it's difficult to teach an old dog you do is make new not a great use of social media and i haven't used instagram before but the message that i am concerned about is so important i will use any medium. in 2050 if we carry on this part that we all are auden, in 2050 if we carry on this part that we all are on, how bad will it be? what will our planet look like? well, one of the things that will happen is that the world will get hotter and hotter and hotter that is not news. that has been happening for a very long time. and deserts are spreading. why are people coming across the mediterranean in such numbers looking for less hot places?

and more fertile places where they can grow their own food. because the world is changing so that is one thing but also we are so clever, so ingenious, we can now strip sees now strip the seas in an industrial way. strip them of all the fish that are there, we are reducing them in such numbers that you are effectively destroying the population. you seem to have, and there is a particular moment in the film, where we can really get a sense of your feeling of grief. but you don't despair, do you? why not? i don't despair because what would you go and do? hide in a corner crying in a corner and forgetting at all and giving up? i mean, we have a responsibility and if there is a fragment of hope left you have the responsibility to do something about it which is why we are here. in the face of, you know,

huge countries like china or brazil or the united states did something entirely different it seems irrelevant, sometimes. well, we have to do what is in our power. we cannot take that as an excuse for doing nothing. we must do everything that all of us can do and must do and china is taking very big steps, you know, in very many directions. it is a huge country with an immense population and they are starting to do things about sorting out their claimant and the weather to do things about sorting out their cliate and the weather which has caused them such problems. so china is moving in the right direction. i agree that the present administration in america from a conservations point of view is disastrous. but there we are. i mean, that is who has been elected

and we have to go through it. you talk about cost but there is also a personal cost and you talk about making changes to our lives. what was the thing that you've changed that sort of cost you personally view most? i would like to think. i mean, for the last six months have hardly moved out of this house so i can't pretend that i've changed my transport behaviour very much. but we are doing so. i'm not flying away to all sorts of places. and how would you describe lockdown life? i can't feed a bad time. i think when i was newly married with a couple of kids in a flat with just two rooms in the garden and think about what it would be like with a thought of the oncoming autumn and winter lying ahead of us having already been locked away for six months, i think that seems to be a pretty tough number. i know it is inevitable and i know it has to happen and many people are having a much worse time

than i am. i am lucky. i have a garden, i have a house and we are surviving, my daughter and i are surviving very well. it is going to be very, very rough for people. one does miss seeing people and talking to people. you know, having won's friends around and just walking around you know, having one's friends around and just walking around and seeing other people. you have got lots of books to read, having to in the next few months? have you read them all? chapter 13. i have not finished it yet. can we talk a little bit about extinction rebellion because you talk about lobbying mps and all of that. can we talk a little bit about extinction rebellion because you talk about lobbying mps and all of that. what about direct action? getting change you have to be careful that you don't break the law, i think. i also think that we have to treat the people we share our community with with respect and disturbing their lives to such an extent that

innocent people can't get about their own business as a serious thing to do and could disenchant a lot of people. through, for example, instagram and other ways on social media you do have a chance, don't you, to reach out to a different audience. there is a real sense, because we've had so many people get in touch with us with questions that the younger generation seem to be, many of them, are on board. how does that make you feel? oh, well, that is the great hope. i mean, that is the most important hope. the most important place with there should be hope. it is their world and it is there tomorrow. i won't be there. they will be. it's theirs. and if they are not persuaded it is important we are wasting our time.

of course it is very important that young people should be concerned about this and they are, in increasing numbers. it is extraordinarily touching. they sent little videos, all these children. they are absolutely adorable. i would like to know what your favourite places and has it changed? my favourite place was a woodland in the middle of england. and it had rocks around it which are full of fossils. wonderful things, shelves, some up and big ones and sometimes you could hit a rock. sometimes they were sitting out there hand over the rock and there it was. and you were the first person ever to see that. and it has not seen the sun for maybe 150 million years. think about that. i'm six years old and i have a question. what is your favourite dinosaur? well, elliott. there was a huge animal that flew

over the dinosaurs as big as a small aeroplane code... and it had huge wingsjust as big as an aeroplane and it was the biggest animal that ever flew and none of us could work out how it could get into the ground because... get off the ground, because how do you beat the wings because it bangs on the ground and doesn't lift up, it is a mystery. hello, david i am three years old. what is your favourite animal? i don't really have favourite animal to be truthful but there is a fish i am very fond of called... what is it called now? the weedy sea dragon and it lives the seas off south australia and it is about that long and it spends look exactly like bits of seaweed. my name is harry and i am 11 years old and i want to work in zoology

but with the current climate crisis, i would like to know if there will be any animals left in the world to study? there will certainly be enough animals individually. they won't be as many different animals as we have now, i can be pretty sure of that. but we need to study them, we need to know all we can about them in order to protect them and help them so i hope you do go to university and you do study zoology and you do help in the struggle to care for nature. i am william and i am four years old. who do you think would win out of a lion and a rhino? well, it would depend whether they were in well, it would depend whether they were in the river or not. if they were in the river it

would be the hippopotamus. if they were on the land i think it would be the lion. but i'm not sure, actually because the hippopotamus is very big, you know. it weighs much more than a lion so if it rolled over and got the lion underneath it the lion would like that very much. hi, david. i am four years old. what is the biggest spider ever in the whole wide world? my mummy doesn't like spiders. well, i can see why your mummy does not like spiders although there are none in this country that bite you. well, there is one in, certainly in south america which is as big as your hand, really. and very hairy legs. and you don't want to mess with that because that one does have a nasty bite. if there is one choice to make today what choice would you like people to make? don't waste. don't waste anything. don't waste electricity,

don't waste food. don't waste power. just treat the natural world of judgment as though it is precious, which it is. and don't squander those bits of it that we have control of. hello there. rainfall totals are the mounting up 110w rainfall totals are the mounting up now to this morning thanks to this area of low pressure. it is sitting right on top of the uk. amber warnings for whales in the southwest of england, likely to expire around midday today and for the north, the amber warning for eastern scotland will expire around the early part of this morning. it continues to rain for a while across scotland and then it turns a little bit drier and brighter but very wet for northern ireland done into wells, particular the sublist of england across the

southwest being windy here too. in the centre of the low, lighter winds with sunshine and also a few heavy slow—moving showers with temperatures reaching around 15 degrees. as we head on into monday, low pressure is still with us, likely to bring for the showers though it does look like that low will tend to ease down and move away through the week, so condition slowly improved and increasing amounts of sun shines by the end of the week.

this is bbc world news i'm lukwesa burak. our top story... contradictory accounts of donald trump's health after his coronavirus infection. he said on twitter he's feeling well and his doctors insisted he's making good progress. at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the president has made. thursday he had a mild cough with some nasal congestion and fatigue, all of which are now resolving and improving. despite that upbeat assessment, the president's chief of staff told reporters that mr trump went through a "very concerning" period and he's not yet on a clear path to recovery.
