an enormous amount of additional pressure on nhs teams and services. matthew got a round of applause as he left hospital today, on his way to a rehab facility. staff know they'll be treating many more like him, whatever happens from here. hugh pym, bbc news, milton keynes. now that details of the road map for england are being studied in more detail, some are concerned that easing the lockdown is happening too quickly given the level of infections, while for others the easing can't come soon enough. our north of england correspondent fiona trott has been speaking to people in newcastle. it's a city famous for its nightlife. but for the people living at the heart of it, that seems a distant memory. they wanted a road map that came out of lockdown faster. i worked in a pub part—time

to fund my university experience and pay my rent and stuff. and we made it so covid—safe that i did feel like it was a safe place to be in, and now it'sjust frustrating that that seems to be forgotten about and they're going to be the last places to open. and it's sad for the city because it's the main part of the city. the prime ministerjust needs to remember when he was our age and what he was doing at that time and that is a huge part of our lives and we don't have that anymore. and we're missing out. it's not like we can go back and, like, when we're 24 be like, "0h, let's pretend we're at uni again." this is it. i guess for us uni students, - it doesn't really make that much difference because we might be i allowed to go out a bit more, like in groups, but we do that anyway because we live as a group. - down the river in byker, rows and rows of houses where families have stayed indoors, relatives not seeing each other and children missing theirfriends. today's road map gives them some hope. i'll be happy to get out of the house, basically,

other than shopping, of course! it'll be good to socialise again. we need to get our lives back to normal a bit. "back to normal" — what does that mean? you know, just to get our lives back on track a bit. at a house nearby, julia is shielding. i want to see my grandkids... i'm sorry. she hasn't hugged anybody since christmas and says today's announcement won't change her life just yet. i keep everybody at a distance, and i think it's silly... if he opens it up now, we're going to go back to march. the road map may have been revealed, but in this part of the world, there's still caution and frustration over the route that's being taken. fiona trott, bbc news, newcastle. our health editor hugh pym is with me. this date ofjune 21 for the potential easing of all restrictions in england, maybe people may have

some kind of misguided understanding about that because surely the winter months later will bring its own challenges again?— months later will bring its own challenaes auain? ~ , , challenges again? well, yes, indeed. i think one of — challenges again? well, yes, indeed. i think one of the _ challenges again? well, yes, indeed. i think one of the key _ challenges again? well, yes, indeed. i think one of the key thoughts - challenges again? well, yes, indeed. i think one of the key thoughts to - i think one of the key thoughts to bearin i think one of the key thoughts to bear in mind is vaccination has broken the inevitable link between rising cases, meaning rising numbers of people getting seriously ill, a certain number of them going to hospital and sadly a certain number of not surviving. because of vaccination, a lot more people will be protected to a degree, so you can get a rise in cases in the next few months and beyond but it won't have such a serious impact. hospital admissions will be watched very carefully to see what happens there. beyond june, what is becoming clear is we will have to live with this virus for some time. the prime minister himself said that a covid free britain, there was no route towards that and professor chris whitty made it clear he thought coronaviruses likely to be a problem this winter and for several more winters, like other respiratory

diseases, like flu. sir patrick vallance made the point we may well need bar squaring to a certain degree over the winter months and maybe other other social distancing measures. although the mass meat message was vaccination was a key bedrock for moving forward, it has to be done with great caution. —— mass vaccination was a key bedrock. thank you, hugh pym. nasa has released remarkable images of its space rover landing on mars. it shows the final minutes of last week's tense descent, with clouds of dust and grit being blown around as the vehicle is lowered to the floor of the crater. the rover — called perseverance — was sent to an ancient crater lake to search for signs of past life. our global science correspondent rebecca morelle has the story. the parachute has deployed... from the release of a supersonic parachute, to the shedding of a heat shield... first look at the surface.

an out—of—this—world view — mars as never seen before. as the rover nears the surface, the dust is kicked up, then a change of camera as perseverance is loaded on ropes, —— lowered on ropes before touchdown... touch down confirmed. perseverance safely on the surface of mars! ..and the landing system is jettisoned away. we can't test it on the earth, so this is the first time we've had a chance as engineers to actually see what we designed and i just can't. .. it's hard for me to expressjust how emotional it was and how exciting it was. there are new still images too — a selfie of the rover. and a vista of the alien world it now sits in, providing a glimpse of the terrain it's about to explore. now has radar locked on the ground. this footage is already providing crucial information to scientists and they'll continue to study it as perseverance gets to work. it's just a taste of what's to come. rebecca morelle, bbc news.

that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former fleet street editor, eve pollard and former scottish labour leader, kezia dugdale. one story dominating all the front pages. the i details what it calls the �*four steps to freedom' as borisjohnson reveals his road map for england to leave lockdown. the metro says lockdown could end on midsummer�*s dayjune 21 with pubs and clubs open,

holidays allowed and crowds filling sports stadiums. the telegraph says 118 days until freedom. the paper reports proposals for a major easing of lock—down before easter were dropped after the government was warned by scientists that it could lead to an extra 55,000 deaths. the daily mail says the end is in sight but it is going to take months — it asks �*what are we waiting for? the guardian says in a signal of how different the new normal will be from pre—pandemic life, "covid status certificates" are being considered to help businesses reopen. something the government had said they didn't favour before. families and workers will also be encouraged to take rapid covid tests regularly. the times says the end is in sight — but note the pm says people must learn to live with coronavirus. he warned that no vaccine would be 100% effective and easing restrictions would inevitably lead

to more deaths. let's start. welcome to you both. shall we kick off with the i? there's only one story in town as we know. i thought after one laid it out pretty clearly the information. well, all the papers actually do use their front pages very well to locate those for big dates. which obviously start with children go back to school in two weeks' time. and they talk about all the caution that the prime minister show today as opposed to perhaps earlier in the last year where we were told by november whidbey out. here he very clearly says, it's not the dates it's the data that will decide whether were going forward or not. but there are exciting days to look forward to. some of us are very much looking forward to april, april 12 when the headdresses will be open

again. i'm very much looking forward to two households in side. by the way, or going to bejolly good weatherfor way, or going to bejolly good weather for some way, or going to bejolly good weatherfor some of this way, or going to bejolly good weather for some of this to make sense. because a lot of it in the beginning is asked to meet one and other outside because the danger of catching the virus seems to be much less went there is really good ventilation outside. there are some very good headlines as we go through the papers. you can see the character of each newspaper by the way they reveal their front pages. exactly says that nobody would ever suggest you haven't used a hairdresser for months, suggest you haven't used a hairdresserfor months, either. what do you make of the i approach to this? what's essential today is that the prime minister really moved from being overpromising and overoptimistic as a lot of his critics would accuse them of to be an elder cautious in these five weeks between the various stages. what do you make of that? i weeks between the various stages. what do you make of that?- weeks between the various stages. what do you make of that? i think it was clear from _ what do you make of that? i think it was clear from his _ what do you make of that? i think it

metro splash? with theirs. what do you make of the metro splash?— metro splash? well, the metro has not metro splash? well, the metro has aotjune metro splash? well, the metro has got june the _ metro splash? well, the metro has got june the 21st. _ metro splash? well, the metro has got june the 21st. june _ metro splash? well, the metro has got june the 21st. june 21 _ metro splash? well, the metro has got june the 21st. june 21 is - metro splash? well, the metro has got june the 21st. june 21 is the - gotjune the 21st. june 21 is the day that were hoping and i presume the prime minister is also hoping that we will be free. and they call it midsummer stream. that we will be free. and they call it midsummerstream. midsummer that we will be free. and they call it midsummer stream. midsummer night dream would be even better about midsummer dream is they are. and of course that is the dream. it's interesting that boris who is being much more cautious than he often was seems to have a new confidence about him. i think that's the polling at the moment which is giving him a bit of a path. he's gone up four places. i think that's got something to do with the mood of the country. because in a way the political has become the personal. so anybody who's gone to have a shot. will know that there is a brilliant feeling when people go to get theirjab and how efficient and amazing that's been. and people turn around and say thank you, boris. you know a week is a long time and politics, that will last. but at the moment he seems to

be saying, and i think the doctors like this phrase, no earlier than these dates. so as we go through the next few months you should find that certain dates the headdresses come open. certain date their pups come open. certain date their pups come open. at certain dates you can have the group of six. —— pubs. outside maybe but they can be sick. so a days go on a stake patient. all these mean a lot to us because we feel we've been locked down forever. in fact we haven't been locked out forever but we are a group of very social beings and it's affected the mental health and the morale of the country without any doubt. first mental health and the morale of the country without any doubt.— country without any doubt. first day of summer according _ country without any doubt. first day of summer according to _ country without any doubt. first day of summer according to psalm. - country without any doubt. first day of summer according to psalm. the | of summer according to psalm. the longest day of this year also as a celestial event, a ring of fire. the annual solar eclipse was up just wondering what is the research number ten had been putting into all of this forjune 21. ease point

big school and when you see them come out, understandably, they are teenagers. they want to be with everybody. and i've never seen a mask being worn. but maybe somebody might say look, just for the next few weeks, keep your masks on when you can because it might make all the difference to get into toojune the difference to get into toojune the 21st. and stay at home will be over. ~ ., the 21st. and stay at home will be over. ~ . ., ., .., ., ., over. we are going to come to that story specifically — over. we are going to come to that story specifically in _ over. we are going to come to that story specifically in a _ over. we are going to come to that story specifically in a moment. - over. we are going to come to that story specifically in a moment. the sun. i don't know what you thought of this. this front page didn't really grab me straightaway. the weight escape. really grab me straightaway. the weight escape-— weight escape. epic, located as annette? it's — weight escape. epic, located as annette? it's a _ weight escape. epic, located as annette? it's a good _ weight escape. epic, located as annette? it's a good headlightl weight escape. epic, located as l annette? it's a good headlight by that i_ annette? it's a good headlight by that i didn't like the use of the days — that i didn't like the use of the days you _ that i didn't like the use of the days. you cut it down until you can .et days. you cut it down until you can get a _ days. you cut it down until you can get a haircut. _ days. you cut it down until you can get a haircut, the countdown until you can _ get a haircut, the countdown until you can have a drink indoors. didn't work— you can have a drink indoors. didn't work for— you can have a drink indoors. didn't work for me — you can have a drink indoors. didn't work for me the same as the other side pages — work for me the same as the other side pages which of got the clear dates _ side pages which of got the clear dates we — side pages which of got the clear dates. we all feel like we can work towards _ dates. we all feel like we can work towards. stilla dates. we all feel like we can work towards. still a dramatic front page is knocking — towards. still a dramatic front page is knocking to do the job people want _ is knocking to do the job people want to— is knocking to do the job people want to know when they can get a haircut _ want to know when they can get a haircut no, — want to know when they can get a haircut. no, we're not seeing across the front— haircut. no, we're not seeing across the front pages as the terms and conditions — the front pages as the terms and conditions at the bottom of this
