elaine dunkley, bbc news, cheshire.hern ireland ministers are insisting that the "stay home" advice is saving lives, and they've clearly distanced themselves from the approach being taken by borisjohnson in england. the differences have prompted many questions. what would the guidance mean, for example, for someone who lived in wales but worked in england? orfor someone who lived in england but wanted to visit wales? our wales correspondent hywel griffith has been looking at the options. the prime minister has given us his road map. but are the borders clearly marked? for the people in chepstow, it should be straightforward. they live in wales under welsh lockdown laws. the message here remains "stay at home". but what about the 100,000 welsh workers, like steve, whosejobs are in england? what if he gets called into a meeting? the clarity‘s just not there. i believe that i'm right, you know, that the welsh rules apply to me, and that i must stay at home. butam i right? i'm not entirely sure. in normal times, the border

danny savage, bbc news, cheshire. let's get more from laura at westminster.em on the reports there are about clarity. where do you think this statement fits in terms of the picture of the need for clarity?” think it's very difficult. first and foremost, what this statement doesn't mean is the end of the uk wide lockdown, far from doesn't mean is the end of the uk wide lockdown, farfrom it. despite expectations that may have been raised, or what people were perhaps hoping for, it is not the end of very major restrictions and limits being placed on all our lives and it was never going to be. what it is, though, in england at least, is the beginning of baby steps of many months of gradual starts of life returning to a different new kind of normal. but because the lockdown affected pretty much every aspect of our life, that means for every single one of those aspects, the government is going to have to come up government is going to have to come up with an answer. and a 13 minute speech from one of the desks in downing street didn't provide, perhaps could never h

halton and cheshire west and chester councils, covering my constituency, have stepped up to the nationalchallenge, providing essential services to vulnerable residents and businesses during this crisis. the government promised to do whatever it takes to fully compensate those councils, and councils across the country, yet both are millions of pounds short of the costs so far, billions nationally. how will the prime minister fulfil that funding promise and not return to the dark days of austerity? i can certainly tell him that the government has absolutely no intention of returning to the a-word, which i will not quote. that is not going to be our approach. we do not think that will be necessary. what i can tell him is that we have already put another £3.2 billion, as he knows, into supporting local authorities and supporting some of the most vulnerable throughout this difficult time. we will continue to make sure that funding gets through to those who need it, but the crucial thing, as colleagues across the house will understand, is that the more effectively we can suppress this virus an

you know my big contribution goes beyond this kind of narrow economic framework of dems of celery cheshire hogs and this high low skilled binary and like the bill actually does is leveling down rights rather than leveling arkwright and i would have liked to know we have learned to see a more positive consultation on the immigration issues in the case of just. about control. the u.k. has always been a country that has been very appealing for a lot of people coming from from outside have you noticed a change in that have you noticed anecdotally for example a lot of europeans either leaving or choosing not to come would just think general people not originally from this country that now feel less welcome. in terms of your migration there has been a decrease the e.u. migrants coming to do ghastly director and and it's partly to do with the narrative around immigration but also that some people don't feel safe at home in the u.k. and this links again with the us settlements few that if we don't have the right safeguards in place for us citizens who are already in the country that was what was a

judith moritz, bbc news, cheshire. in less than three weeks. many of us have been wondering how little children and social distancing go together — well, we can look to denmark. schools there re—opened a month ago, and our europe correspondent jean mackenzie has been talking to staff and pupils at one of them. it has been hard to not hug each other. she says you can't hug each other, so you have to hug yourself. keeping kids apart requires some imagination. they're not worried about the virus at all. when they came back, we had lots of activities to try to make them not worry, but they didn't worry, so we had to give up on that. it wasn't needed? not at all. the school's been cleverly redrawn so each child only comes into contact with a very small number of children. normally they sit two and two. you have the class of 20 that's been cut down to two groups of ten. that's why you have the plastic. because those two groups aren't allowed to mix? no, exactly. when they are going outside in the breaks, we have to divide th

let's talk to nicola wass, a behavioural scientist in cheshire, have you heard anything that could undermine trustworthy and credible. if the people at the top do not fear to —— appearto the people at the top do not fear to —— appear to follow their own rules they not only lose personal credibility but it diminishes the credibility but it diminishes the credibility of the things they say so for example we may begin to see redefining of the messaging around social distancing. to put it into plain terms, people might say i don't need to follow the rules because the pm's top adviser didn't. one of the things coming out of it is that dominic cummings certainly acted within the letter of the law but there is a big question over whether he was acting within the spirit of the law and that undermines and contradicts the message that we are all in this together which has been central to government messaging and the presentation of the collective response. in terms of uncertainty, what people will tend to do is they will look around and take their cue of what other people are doing, and if they think
