like, i'm really keen on that stuff anyway. i'm a big nerd, so, yeah! jayda g studied environmental toxicology before turning to music. it's so surreal. like, oh, my goodness, there's people, and they're together, and they�* re dancing! and this is exciting! yeah. it's not allowed, is it? yeah, it feels like, "hey, we shouldn't be "doing this, but, yeah, it's ok. "like, everyone tested, and yeah, we're doing this." i am really pumped. i am so excited. airflow monitors will help work out if the virus would spread. there will be cameras and ai looking at the movement of people to see if there are any bottlenecks that could be removed, are there any pockets of stale air? we have chosen a deliberately big and airy venue. fresh air is really important for covid safety. so we will monitor carbon dioxide levels and, by everyone being here they are taking part in building that evidence, while it is safe to do so,

while virus rates are very low. and on sunday, there is an even bigger gig. 5,000 in sefton park will also be tested before and after. we ask people to take a pcr test five days afterwards, and that absolutely allows us to understand the transmission. we want people to enjoy themselves, we want people to have a good time, at what is the first events for over a year, so it is really important to individuals, but it is also part of a scientific experiment, and it's essential we capture the learning from it. this is just a taste of what we've missed. hopefully, it brings us all closer together. i'v e i've seen one or two people who went too big too soon and now need to go home, but so many here are enjoying this evening and their experience will determine if it's safe, how it's safe, to do this in other cities and other venues. there is a real buzz about this place but some serious science tabby and and even just wearing the wristband is enough to get you in the mood. i think i

might go and request they put the bbc news soundtrack to end the night. rita, back to you. dan, getting into the spirit, thanks very much, danjohnson there. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are deputy political editor of the daily express, sam lister, and the times radio presenter, calum macdonald. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the �*eurozone in double—dip recession' leads on the front page of the ft, with lockdown measures cited as one of the reasons. also looking at restrictions, particularly them loosening, the telegraph reports that
10:33 pm
international travel from may 17 is set to get the green light as part of the next phase in the covid roadmap, which could also see easing of social distancing, as reported in the times, as it reports hugs may return in two weeks. and changes to care homes. the i reports that over 400,000 residents in england can meet outside from tuesday. and rememering those who have lost their lives to coronavirus. the mail launches a campaign for a memorial. and on the front of the mirror, the duke and duchess of cambridge join the four day social media boycott to tackle online hate. so let's begin...
10:34 pm
so, do you want to kick us off with the i, a very bold front page, a very simple one. but given that it was one of the first parts of life to be restricted, when the coronavirus pandemic began, it really is a red letter day, notjust a red letter on the front of the paper. it a red letter on the front of the -a er. , a red letter on the front of the . a . er, , ., , a red letter on the front of the -a er. , . , ., a red letter on the front of the --aer. , . , ., paper. it is great news, that care home residents _ paper. it is great news, that care home residents can _ paper. it is great news, that care home residents can finally - paper. it is great news, that care home residents can finally take l paper. it is great news, that care home residents can finally take a few tentative steps out of their current lockdown world and i think it is from tuesday this will start and essentially anyone who is a care home resident will be able to go for a walk in the park or to a family garden. there are still quite heavy restrictions though, i think. there is a lot of concern because these are the full —— most vulnerable people throughout the pandemic, as we have seen and there is a lot of concern they do not want to go to quickly but it does mean that it is
10:35 pm
still needed designated visitor who can accompany that care home resident out all the care home worker, and there is no meeting in groups, there is no meeting... no use of public transport. it is still quite restricted but it does mean that people can get out into the world and go and have a cab of dna relative's garden and that is a b2b celebrated. == relative's garden and that is a 325 celebrated. �* . , relative's garden and that is a 323 celebrated. ~ . , ., ., ., , relative's garden and that is a 323 celebrated. ~ . ., ., , ., celebrated. -- a cup of tea. lots of us grumble — celebrated. -- a cup of tea. lots of us grumble about _ celebrated. -- a cup of tea. lots of us grumble about restrictions. - celebrated. -- a cup of tea. lots of us grumble about restrictions. 3ut| us grumble about restrictions. but we need to appreciate fully how narrow the lives of people in care homes, both staff and residents, have been over the last year. absolutely and frankly how dangerous it was, _ absolutely and frankly how dangerous it was, as _ absolutely and frankly how dangerous it was, as you mentioned at the start_ it was, as you mentioned at the start of— it was, as you mentioned at the start of this pandemic they were i guess— start of this pandemic they were i guess kind — start of this pandemic they were i guess kind of the red zone, not to trivialise _ guess kind of the red zone, not to trivialise it. — guess kind of the red zone, not to trivialise it, but that is where chaos — trivialise it, but that is where chaos was _ trivialise it, but that is where chaos was breaking out as a result of this_ chaos was breaking out as a result of this pandemic and a result of bad decision—making, something i am sure we will_ decision—making, something i am sure we will be _ decision—making, something i am sure we will be ridden —— revisiting over the months — we will be ridden —— revisiting over the months ahead. this is a red letter_ the months ahead. this is a red letter day— the months ahead. this is a red letter day and what is encouraging about _ letter day and what is encouraging about bases they are coming thick

focus through this pandemic. and the amount of things that care _ focus through this pandemic. and the amount of things that care home - amount of things that care home workers have had to do to protect residents. looking at the detail in the story at the front of the telegraph. it says care home residents from tuesday will be able to go for walks in the park or a garden, provided they can continue to socially distance. there will be limited to meeting just one other person. the world is opening up again, even allowing for the restrictions of contact with individuals, evenjust being restrictions of contact with individuals, even just being able to go to a public part is going to be a big step for other people. a lot of people will find it quite difficult after being slated for so long. it after being slated for so long. it might be quite frightening if you have been isolated for so long. but obviously it is a step that is incredibly welcome. 0ne obviously it is a step that is incredibly welcome. one thing we have seen actually throughout the crisis is how quickly people do deteriorate when they are stopped from seeing family and friends and they are stopped from having days out. and so hopefully this will stem
10:38 pm
that terrible tide. 0ne out. and so hopefully this will stem that terrible tide. one thing of concern, it is only one individual that can meet a designated visitor. there has been enormous pressure on those designated visitors because they obviously have to pick someone to be that designated visitor and then they feel enormous a lot to make sure that they are going as often as they possibly can. they cannot share that out with family members and that is an off a lot of pressure on one person to make sure that they have to be there all the time because nobody any family can go and visit somebody in the care home. and obviously very tragic for the people who cannot those visits. there is still a long way to go but obviously, it is a very welcome step. it obviously, it is a very welcome ste -. . ., obviously, it is a very welcome ste. .., , obviously, it is a very welcome ste . _ . ., , ., obviously, it is a very welcome ste. , ., ., obviously, it is a very welcome ste. , . . ., step. it could be that we can all go a lona step. it could be that we can all go a long way — step. it could be that we can all go a long wayjudging _ step. it could be that we can all go a long wayjudging by _ step. it could be that we can all go a long wayjudging by the - step. it could be that we can all go a long wayjudging by the front - step. it could be that we can all go a long wayjudging by the front of. a long wayjudging by the front of the telegraph, is a really good news, provided you are prepared to look women grow put up with
