expressing our heartfelt thanks to the brilliant team at st thomas‘ hospital and as the easter bank holidayraws to a close, i also need to thank all the nhs staff, all the other front line staff, who have been working so hard over the long weekend to care for those suffering from coronavirus. we thank you, we pay tribute to you, and we are immensely proud of all you are doing. can i also take the opportunity to thank everyone who followed the advice to stay at home despite the wonderful weather and despite the challenges and sacrifices that sticking to the advice presents to many families. i have to say that at the end of last week we were concerned people might start ignoring the advice or cutting corners, given the temptation to go out into the sunshine. in fact, the overwhelming majority of people stayed at home and understood the importance of doing so. you stuck to the advice, you have denied the coronavirus the social contact it needs to spread and people should be no doubt that by staying at home this weekend you have saved lives and also help protect our precious nhs at this critica

people think, "oh, it's a bank holiday, i've got to do stuff, i've got to go out." yeah.ur room. i know i have taken myself into my bedroom, literally laid on my bed, and screamed into a pillow just to get kind of all the frustration out. a survey of more than 2000 adults across the uk last week found 15% we re across the uk last week found 15% were already finding it extremely difficult to cope. among younger people it was close to a quarter, just 11% of 45-75 people it was close to a quarter, just 11% of 115—75 —year—olds were struggling. forteenager just 11% of 115—75 —year—olds were struggling. for teenager beth cooped up struggling. for teenager beth cooped up with her family struggling. for teenager beth cooped up with herfamily in hounslow, the lockdown seems endless. up with herfamily in hounslow, the lockdown seems endlesslj up with herfamily in hounslow, the lockdown seems endless. i normally have a bad day which is most days while i have been in lockdown, then i get annoyed by one thing. it can be the tiniest thing, even if it is not something nice for dinner,

there area of the bank holiday weekend. there are a couple of caveats to that. that asked the professor said that there may be a bit of a lag in the reporting of deaths over the bank holiday weekend. so it is too early to say for sure that the uk has reached its peak. the other big caveat i think is that in england, ca re caveat i think is that in england, care home deaths which you know are significant and not being reported in the official daily figures that we are getting most of on the front page of the guardian today, there is the new story about seeing an increase the number of people who dying at home. and again those are not captured in the official figures at the moment. so there are some caveats. the good news is however that it does appear that infection rates may be leveling off and suggesting that social distancing is working. at the press conference, the government was very cautious about speaking yet about exactly what the strategies for relaxing distancing full so they said that is too early to do so yet. but we can a p pa re ntly too early to do

the lockdown has held over the easter bank holiday, but deaths are expected to rise still further. i think this week's difficult. i think this week we're going to see a further increase. thereafter, we should see a plateau, as the effects of the social distancing come through. that plateau may last for some time and then begin to decrease. the daughter of one of those who has died talks of the personal tragedy behind the statistics. it's heartbreaking because to everyone else, that's just a number. but that number was my mum. tonight, the government reveals coronavirus has spread in over 2000 care homes in england. france's president announces he will begin to lift the country's lockdown on may 11th. how the the restrictions here are hitting poorer communities the hardest. and how as we stay in, animals are feeling bold enough to come out into our gardens and onto our streets. and in sport: tottenham have reversed their decision to use the government's furlough scheme for non—playing staff and will pay them in full in april and may after criticism from fans. good evening. the gover

as we go to a close this bank holiday weekend, it is really not a bank holiday as you and i would knowles. the local authorities and tourist leaders have asked people to abide by it. this is asked people to abide by it. this is a double whammy for areas like the one where you are because they rely one where you are because they rely on seasonal trade anyway and this would traditionally be a very, very busy time. absolutely. this would traditionally have been the kick start to the summer season. everybody geared up to the easter opening. that, really, if they saw a good weekend and had some and lovely warm weather, and people flocked to the south—west if they had booked in advance orjust the south—west if they had booked in advance or just wanted the south—west if they had booked in advance orjust wanted to see what would happen, that would have kick started the season and would have hopefully taken them through. of course, at the moment, that has not happened, because it hasn't been able to happen. for the last two or three weeks, tourist leaders have been asking people not to come. co

it stands just under 16,000, a has been a bank holiday weekend.dsjust under 16,000, a long way short of the 100,000 target set by the government by the end of this month, two weeks away. nhs workers have been told they have access to testing if they work it, including at drive—through centres like this, allowing them to return to work quickly if they test negative. that has been extended to social day care staff, including testing for all residents of care homes and patients leaving hospitals for a care facility. i asked at the downing street briefing how it was possible to extend testing in this way. how are you actually going to cover this large number of social care staff and nhs staff and hospital patients? how will it be achieved? now we have testing available right across the nhs and social care for all those who need it. i am pleased we have been able to expand capacity so that can happen stop as we build capacity further over this month and then beyond to that 100,000 a day target by the end of the month, we will expand further those who a

the british public has been urged to stay indoors this bank holiday weekend after the uk's heights daily death toll so far in the coronavirus pandemic. after weeks of criticism over a shortage of personal protection equipment, the british government informed the health secretary has insisted there is now enough of that equipment if it's used correctly. the us state of new york has started to bury some of its deadin york has started to bury some of its dead in mass graves. the state now has more coronavirus cases than any other single country outside the united states. hospitals in some neighbourhoods say that they are overwhelmed. other areas say that they are struggling to cope. hello and welcome to our look at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sam lister, the deputy political editor of the daily express on the left, and political right and academic who has already posted online of our earlier conversation. first of all, a quick look at some of tomorrow's front pages. the guardian looks at the lives cut short with images of some of the people who have died from t

the message in the press conference today was that it is too early to know if there's a bit of a bank holiday —— time lag. so that might account for some of the slow down, but the indications are certainly good if you look at the infection rate, and it would appear that the infection rate is slowing. experts believe that the cumulative death toll will continue to go up in the days to come, but that it will start to slow down eventually and we will hopefully —— the daily death toll will start to drop off. there area toll will start to drop off. there are a couple of caveats, though. the first is that we don't have a clear picture in england at least about the number of deaths taking place outside hospital, and we've seen reports in recent days that there area number of reports in recent days that there are a number of deaths taking place and care homes that aren't being recorded in the up—to—date official statistics. we've also seen press reports in the last 2a hours that growing numbers of people are dying at home. they may be too worried about going to hospital at this point in time, if they

i think there will be a lap from that good friday bank holiday and of course the bank holiday and ofvative estimate of perhaps another 2000 deaths above those that have been reported. they are going to remain high for some time to come. one of the crucial thing is though for the government is most of these access deaths, the deaths above those which we would expect at this time of year, are we would expect at this time of yea r, a re clearly we would expect at this time of year, are clearly attributed to covid—19. but other some that are happening not despite the lockdown but because of the lockdown, in other words is the lockdown creating circumstances in which some people, a smaller number than dying of covid—19, dying of other conditions that are going either or untreated. crates thanks very much. to talk about the nature of the virus i am joined by dr naomi forrester—soto. she's an expert in the study of viruses at keele university. this virus is a coronaviruses eve ryo ne this virus is a coronaviruses everyone knows and there are other coronaviruses that circulate, to cause very

it happened over a bank holiday weekend.nd that we're seeing in hospitals, which are a good markerfor most of the epidemic, is that deaths are coming down and have been coming down for a while. and what isn't so clear is what's happening to care homes, whether they're coming down. it looks in fact that they're going up. our news correspondent duncan kennedy is at royal bournemouth hospital. here around 50 members of staff came out and took part in a small memorial service, not only standing still and silent at 11 o'clock, but taking part in a small religion service after that to remember their collea g u es service after that to remember their colleagues across the health region and across the country, who have given their lives in the fight against this virus. one of those leading the staff has joined me against this virus. one of those leading the staff hasjoined me in the rain. she is fiona hoskins. i'm going to tell the viewers we are standing socially distant apart to do the interview. but why have so many of your colle

indeed just yet however a lot of this might actually ride on the fact of what happens over this bank holiday weekend of course the united kingdom is expected to experience quite good weather the last weekend that the united kingdom experienced such good weather many people in fact flouted these lockdown measures so it really could ride on how the united kingdom responds to message of course from government is to stay at home that all of this comes as the latest figures show that there's a total of $65077.00 cases u.k. wide the death toll is now at 7009 $178.00 now this marks an $881.00 rise from yesterday which is actually yes less than yesterday's total but although the curve is flatlining slightly we are by no means past the peak and that's potentially why these measures are set to continue across the united kingdom of course just earlier today wells announcing that they would be doing so now all of this comes as the prime minister boris johnson has spent his 3rd night in intensive care being treated for covert 1000 at cent thomas's hospital here in central london the latest though from do

according tohe latest figures. 25,000 deaths from all causes were reported in the week of the easter bank holidaytwice that expected for this time of year. -- twice thanec ed for this time of year. of the deaths linked to do code -- linked to covid-19, most were in care hes. that was in april. the number of deaths in hospitals continues to fall. it is now thought one in three deaths fromon cirus in england and wales are happening in care homes. the care sector ys it is the front line against the virus. allison holreports. reporter: at saint cecilia's nursing home in scarborough, they believe the fight they have been coronavirus for weeks is only now reflected in official figures. ve this is the aa il whal been diagnosed. reporter: diagnosing ridenests,e grouhave had 11 deaths,d four confir covid-19. >> i saw her for the last on the day she died. reporter: one of the residents was his wife. they were married for more than 50 years and she loved spending time with her grandildren. he said staff did all they could for her. >> i thought ministers don't recognize the wonderful work that has gone on an

it is now just been a bank holiday weekend. is nowjust under 16,000 but that is a long way short of the 100,000 a day target set by the government by the end of this month. the number of people who have died in hospitalfrom coronavirus has risen by 761. there are a605 new cases. as a number of other european countries start to ease restrictions on daily life, focus is turning to when schools, businesses and factories in the uk will be able to open as normal, but that could still be some time away. i want to add to the situation in the uk because the bbc has seen a leaked letter, seen by senior officials, highly critical of the government ‘s handling of the pandemic so far. the association of directors of adult social services tells ministers that they presided over what they are calling a shambolic supply chain for personal protective equipment and saying it is shameful that three quarters of a million nhs volunteers have been left with nothing to do. with the death toll of 13,000 fatalities does not including those because tho

inine with official advice, but there hugh pym, bbc news.k holiday anchor: let's stick with that bank holidaykend because temperatures are forecast to hit 25 degrees in so t parts of u.k. over the weekend and the government repeated the needayor people to at home, apart from exercise once a day, shopping for basic necessities or getting medical care and help for a vulnerablee person, peo can also leave their homes to work, but only if they cannot do their rk from home. reporter: a picture postcard, that is because the crowds are missing. what would he been unusual is now thw norm. >> it would have been absolutely heaving, chockablock, all the shops busy. >> our town in every town, certainly on the seaside, stay-at-home, keepaway, stay safe to keep us, the nhs, safe, so we can save people's lives. reporter: other coastal resorts were deserted from south bend on see- - sea to souwold. an a normal easter weekend it would bimpossible to park. >> can only walk on the riverwalk. reporter: in london, officials warning people to keep a distance. >> can you turn around, please? staying staonary. he sa

he says they are delivering even more over the bank holiday., that was an interesting point that was mentioned. 42,812 nhs and social ca re mentioned. 42,812 nhs and social care staff and their families have been tested over the past couple of weeks. matt hancock saying what a sombre day it is as we pass this death toll for the uk of 10,000 coronavirus deaths. we heard earlier from a scientific adviser to the government that actually the uk deaths could be the highest in europe, higher even than spain and italy. yes, i think we have to be slightly careful with comparing countries like for like, but 10,612 people have now died in uk hospitals after contracting the coronavirus. this is incredibly significant and sad will stop it is 737 more deaths since yesterday, so it is fewer recorded deaths than we saw this time yesterday, but it is worth remembering that we do tend to see a drop at weekends, not only in record numbers of people who have passed away but also in the number of positive cases, so it could yet climb again over the next few days.

effort even over the bank holiday weekend thank you to all of you and to all those who are involved in this enormous herculean effort on p.p. and i know that we'll see many more businesses coming forward and i look forward to it. testing of course has a huge role in our response and we have discussed repeatedly testing at these press conferences i'm pleased to say that 42812 n.h.s. and social care staff and their families have now been tested and as we ramp up our ability to test in large numbers we also need to make sure we have the ability to trace contract contacts just as effectively and so today i wanted to outline the next step a new n.h.s. out for contact tracing if you become unwell with the symptoms of corona virus you can securely tell this new n.h.s. app and the app will then send an alert anonymously to other app uses that you've been in significant contact with over the past few days even before you have symptoms so that they know and can act accordingly all data will be handled according to the highest ethical and security standards and would only be used for n.h.s. care

go out when necessary, and there are particular concerns over another sunny weekend, an easter bank holidayt reiterating the message. the lockdown is critical to dealing with this pandemic. but, of course, as you say, the important decision, we've had three weeks of the lockdown. borisjohnson is well enough to make a video and we saw pictures there of the splendid isolation of checkers, so hopefully he will be up and running soon, but he will be up and running soon, but he will be up and running soon, but he will want to feed into the decision soon, surely. even later this week he will want to be part of the process. his character might suggest, and he did seem a lot better in that video compared to the last time we saw him, just over a week ago, when he emerged out of the door of downing street to clap for carers, so as many people know, they will have joined carers, so as many people know, they will havejoined in carers, so as many people know, they will have joined in at 8pm carers, so as many people know, they will havejoined in at 8pm on carers, so as many people know, they will have j

we are still in process but we had a positive: bank holiday monday.ch like john, we are a recruitment and consulting business and we are all about connecting people and clearly that has not been happening a huge amount in the last month or so. our sales have been hit hugely. down about 70%, actually, which isjust hugely. down about 70%, actually, which is just unbearable hugely. down about 70%, actually, which isjust unbearable really for small business like ours. how many people do you employ? we employ about 44 people and another 100 on contracts around europe. 0k, fingers crossed your money will come through. john, what are you going to do? well, i've done all! can through. john, what are you going to do? well, i've done all i can so far. i‘m fortunate in that i have family looking out for me, and we all have our health, but the other steps i‘ve taken is to apply for universal credit, but that doesn‘t come for a few weeks yet, i‘m just waiting to hear from come for a few weeks yet, i‘m just waiting to hearfrom hmrc come for a few weeks yet, i‘m jus

police in the uk urge people to stick to the advice to stay at home over the bank holiday weekend — despiteather in many parts of the country. with signs of a curb in new infections in germany — the world health organization encourage countries to be cautious about lifting restrictions — imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. we're covering all the latest coronavirus developments here in britain and globally. first, the uk health secretary, matt hancock, has said there've been cases where medical workers have used more personal protective equipment than they needed as they tackle the coronavirus outbreak. the doctors' union, the british medical association, has said many of its members are still not getting the equipment they need, and staff are being forced into "impossible situations". mr hancock also said that 19 nhs workers have now died after catching the coronavirus. it comes as the uk recorded the largest rise over a 2k period yesterday, with 980 deaths, higher than both italy's and spain's highest daily death tol

weekend a very good weathered bank holiday weekend that if you remember the last time the u.k. saw quite a nice weekend in terms of the weather many of the public did indeed flout those lockdown measures so a lot of it could really bank on what happens this weekend as i mentioned over goddess of the weather well has already said that there will be extending as lockdown measures so too have the devolved nations like scotland and northern ireland saying suggesting they too might follow suit particularly nicholas sturgeon we know she's not shy to hold back on extending measures if and when she needs to do so remember the time when she close schools well ahead of the united kingdom so though she has not quite yet extended these lockdown measures she says it could be a guarantee. really clear i don't want you know just being nice but a single minute longer have to be changed but equally i do what is tribute surely you know we do see the greatest jewels here in egypt who will. last which is great and talk with that we stick with it as long as necessary and i would be clear to people

and i appreciate that it's often the little things that hurt the most with the easter bank holiday, andduring easter 399 with the grandparents during easter egg hunt. there's going to be lots of people normally planning a family get—together orjust getting out in the sunshine with friends and loved ones. unfortunately right now we just can't do the sorts of things and i'm really sorry about that. is currently no sign at the moment the government is planning to lift these frustrations anytime soon. but as you were hearing from other adam it's not going to happen right now for obvious reasons. one of the reasons is because some people have not been paying enough attention and this is a bit of information that greater manchester police put out a fa ct of greater manchester police put out a fact of the things they discover people doing last week. barbecues, parties, things that had to go and tell people off were plainly not just may be talking about to close, but really, really going against the official advice. in the put out a map of the whole area and notjust the city, and overfour days
