ijust wa nt to biggest challenge i can get. ijust want to be normal. strong all the time, it's the only way i can travel. the only way i can cope. i have explored a good bit of addis ababa, andi i have explored a good bit of addis ababa, and i think it is time to move on and explore a bit more of this wonderful and fascinating country, which is ethiopian. i really wa nt country, which is ethiopian. i really want to try and get to the valley and visit some of the lakes, get more of the nature and natural ambience and really get off the beaten track. we are going to the village which is roughly two or three hours south of addis ababa, and it is one of the fresh rift valley la kes. and it is one of the fresh rift valley lakes. and apparently it has lots of bi rd valley lakes. and apparently it has lots of bird life and hippopotamus i. hello. what's your name? hi, my name is tony. it is something. a tractor, helicopter, motorbike... and the la kers tractor, helicopter, motorbike... and the lakers in this direction? my biggest problem for me as i have got n

ijust got to be a bit slower and take my time.stuck ijust shout, there are people around here, they will come and help me. it's not a problem for me. i can smell it! i love it. part of the adventure. i'm skyping my girlfriend. happy birthday! # happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, # happy birthday darling—beautiful—lovely. .. # happy birthday to you. i miss you. all right, be good. bye. if i want to visit places that are quite tricky i try and find a guide, a personal guide, to show me around. hello. my name's zamed. hi zamed. yeah, i'm a local guide in lalibela. 0k. yeah, today's plan is we will explore the churches for you. ok, thank you. 11 churches. the churches divided into three groups. the first group churches, there are six church. yep. and the second group churches, there are four church. 0k. and the third group church there are only one churches. when were they made? what year? sorry? how old are they? 1,000 years old. 0k. more than, yeah. the church is in front of me? chanting in background. it's pretty rough,

keep thinking that if it turned out that japan, ijust keep thinking that if it turned out thatjapan,g that if it turned out that japan, sweden and other countries which did not impose such draconian lockdown measures had just the same sort of death rate as the countries which did, that i think quite a lot of people in populations with extreme lockdowns would say, look at them, look what japan did. they didn't wreck their economy or shut down the country, and there are no worse off than us. soi and there are no worse off than us. so i think it will come as quite a relief to our government that serious lockdown measures are coming in andjapan serious lockdown measures are coming in and japan and possibly sweden soon, but obviously for horrible reasons that their death toll is rising. david, shinzo abe humbled by coalition partners who have slightly different views about how to deal with this. but again, japan looking at this helicopter cash idea which many other countries are looking at? they are, but one must also say, i was quite surprised when i looked at the latest figures at the n

ijust want to take you through some of these new case graphics.y cases. obviously, there's a lot of variability and variability and reporting but you get a sense of her time when you look at daily cases. so new orleans is on the panel on your left and baton rouge on your right. you can see clearly at new orleans about a month ago, very low levels, probably less than 50 cases. large peak and spike around the beginning of april and they have come down and they are down to very few cases. again i showed you before how both the syndromic cases have come down as well as they actual case numbers. number of cases. this is seattle. you can see they had a much lower peak. this is when we talk about flattening the curve, this is flattening the curve looks like. it becomes a longer, slower decline but it never gets very high. and then goes back down. and then this is detroit. we always took effect metros as a consolidated. this is both wayne and oakland in michigan. we really want to thank the mayor for the incredible job that they have done to really ensure

should ijust close now, should ijust stop now, hand the keys back to the landlord and say thanks verycafe in bishop auckland, a high street were 25% of shops were empty before the pandemic. the week before he was due to open, britain went into lockdown. how long do you think you can last without it being open? possibly another month before it dries up, before the money side of it dries up. i stay awake at night thinking i'm going to go bust before i get a chance to open. retailers have warned the berries survival of our empty high streets will be decided in weeks, not years, and some businesses may never recover or reopen after such a sudden drop in trade. today, clothing retailer next said the impact of the lockdown had been much faster and steeper than expected. in—store sales plunged 52% in its first quarter to april the 25th. 0nline sales were down 32%. while ba rclays has 0nline sales were down 32%. while barclays has reported a 38% drop in profits and warned the pandemic could cost it £2.1 billion. largely due to being unable to repay loans. the chamber of commerce talked about

didn't know where i was going, i was blind, and ijust froze. couple of deep breaths and said to myself, "tony, this is what you want — if you don't want it go home." a couple more deep breaths, turn left, walk down the street, and the rest is history. excuse me, are you hear me...? this is your stop station. my stop? yes. you can get off. 0k, thank you. you want any help? i'm good. just trying to get my bearings, trying to work out which way the traffic is going, and if i can use the sunlight, but i can't sense any sun at all. i have to be careful going down the steps, because they're all marble and slippery and worn so i have to go slowly and take care. no, no, it's ok. yeah, yeah, yeah. all right, thank you. two people came to try and help me but they were a bit aggressive, theyjust grabbed me, which is not the correct way to help — it's a bit frightening. if people want to help, and many people do, ideally you would want them to speak to you and say "hello, can i help?" but obviously not everyone speaks english. so if they don't, then touch

ijust hope there's more, ijust hope managers have started... they were off on the weekend.ed by mid—week. when there's a shortage of gowns, staff use plastic aprons. the government told us short sleeves are better for hand hygiene and that long—sleeve gowns can carry their own infection risk. right, so, aprons are these, there is certainly not a shortage of these. but this is what you'd expect a dinner lady to wear. it's like a pinny, it's plastic, it's flimsy. you open it up like this. you put it on your neck like this and then there you go. it does nothing. the government has consistently denied there is a shortage of ppe in the stockpile. it's blamed logistical problems and says it's built a whole new distribution network. the army has also been brought in to sort it out. we've spoken to a number of heads of procurement at nhs trusts. they didn't want to be identified but say the supply chain still isn't working. there is a complete lack of transparency from the government. they‘ re creating panic, as we don't know if they can supply us, so we're scrambling to get it els

ijust tried to ask for universal... universal credit. ..and with those dealing with this new threat. i got told by my gp that, "you do realise that if you get this bug, it will kill you?" and back! ted is four years old. he has cystic fibrosis. if he gets coronavirus, it could be very serious. deep breath. cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition. it affects all the vital organs, mainly the lungs and the digestive system. it means that i'm special. there are many, many more people like ted who have been told they are vulnerable. the government says there are a million and a half people in the uk who need to take extra precaution. we gave them a camera to film what life is like inside their home. it's a fortnight since it was announced they must stay at home for three months. the government called it shielding. fiona got the news in a text. even though i knew it was coming, it was still the realisation that he is a vulnerable person. because covid—i9 can affect the lungs and breathing, ted is vulnerable. it's vital he does

ijust wa nt to conversations. compare notes. an enemy of the united states. this virus is the enemy of the united states. they need to find the united states. they need to find the right target. and you'll be able to watch stephen sackur‘s full interview with the chinese ambassador to the uk on hardtalk here on bbc world news on wednesday and thursday. the head of the tokyo olympics says the games will be scrapped altogether if they can't take place next year. it follows the decision to postpone the games from 2020 tojuly 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. let's take a look at the sums involved: the official budget for the games is $12.6 billion, following the construction of numerous venues including a national stadium and athletes' village. but japanese media has reported that the figure could be much higher. and an eye—watering $2.8 billion dollars is how much the delay is expected to cost although an official figure is yet to be released. i'm joined now by michael payne who was the international olympic committee's market

ijust think it's the sheer level of... of how unwell our patients are.we're used to. the patients are so sick and it's really testing our nursing skills and our time management and our ability to actually get to them all quick enough. and what about the pressures on the nurses — the hours that are being worked, the shifts, going home to their families with the risks, of course? we're all worried when we come to work but we follow public health guidance, so we wear the ppe that they ask us to wear and i do feel quite safe. but i think prolonged exposure and doing many days and doing extra days and doing overtime, you know, there's extra exposure that maybe we didn't need to have. the availability of ppe — personal protective equipment — has caused a political storm ever since this disease took hold. the first thing is we have a kite delivery of safety masks. we've got 8,500 of them delivered this morning. there are still concerns across the uk about supplies of ppe. in this hospital they say they have enough, for now. the roving teams are really happy wit

it is like, i made a bit of like a bite and then ijust give that to you. it is also a sign of respect and care. it's like a mother feeding a child, so there's some care into it. it is a culture that we do here. so i'm going to give you one of that now. are you ready? this will be interesting. open your mouth and you have your first gursha... wow. nice. this is incredible food. people, you have to come to ethiopia and eat this food. you like it? it's delicious, it's tasty, it's a little spicy, it's a little...so rich. at least four or five different textures in this one dish i can taste on my tongue. so now is your turn to give me a bite of that. see how you do the gursha. gursha. here it comes. you are like a pro. having this little ceremony, eating traditional ethiopian food with a lovely person, who i now consider my friend, is a wonderful experience. it's very humbling. to be able to share and exchange cultures is so wonderful. it is hard to describe, really. very emotional. i can't pick up a book and think, let's go to this place or let's go to that pl

ijust wanted to play." the opportunity for my daughter to be able to play. so where could we go? we couldn't take her to a water park because of certain circumstances of hers, and talking to others, we found the same situation. so how do we develop a place where those who have special needs and those who don't can all come together and play in a fully inclusive environment? and it was those discussions, those chit—chats, those meetings, eventuallly turned into what we now have here today at morgan's at morgan's wonderland and morgan's inspiration island. that is so amazing. and since then, people from all over the united states and literally all over the world make special trips to come here. in an environment that is just different than any other environment in the world. right! whoa! alex, look! what do you think? this is amazing. alex really likes, you know, ipads and things like that that he can manipulate. so when he came into this room, there's not a lot of extra noise but there's a lot of things he c

ijust met danielle who has a five—year—old boy who is also non—verbal autistic.nd, we just friended each other on facebook. it was lovely to talk to her, so many similarities, how do you do this? it is better if you try to align the flights with his normal sleeping times. we found that out. yes. other people on the plane, sometimes, to get people who are less understanding... yeah, i was pretty worried about that. but it is pretty rare, i would say. it's great to find a community, in this setting, where we can talk and make new friends. so, we ran into a mother here, we got to talking and we kind of both had autistic children, she said there was another place really close by that we ought to check out. so i think we're going to head on over now and check that out and see how our kids like it. i had a lot of fears going into this trip. we have a special needs child, and you can't predict their behaviour, and you especially can't predicted in public around other people. and it didn't happen. that park was made for children like them. so we felt safe. that's one thi

ijust met danielle who has a five—year—old boy who is also non—verbal autistic.friend, we just friended each other on facebook. it was lovely to talk to her, so many similarities, how do you do this? it is better if you try to align the flights with his normal sleeping times. we found that out. yes. other people on the plane, sometimes, to get people who are less understanding... yeah, i was pretty worried about that. but it is pretty rare, i would say. it's great to find a community, in this setting, where we can talk and make new friends. so, we ran into a mother here, we got to talking and we kind of both had autistic children, she said there was another place really close by that we ought to check out. so i think we're going to head on over now and check that out and see how our kids like it. hold on! i had a lot of fears going into this trip. we have a special needs child, and you can't predict their behaviour, and you especially can't predict it in public around other people. and it didn't happen. that park was made for children like them. so we felt safe.

we shall hearfrom feel, and ijust hope it lasts.m the queen tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the sunday telegraph, as we should expect, lots of different angles on coronavirus, and as well as featuring the queen, johnson warns against protectionism. this is after donald trump a p pa re ntly this is after donald trump apparently took a swipe at some masks that were heading to germany and decided to commandeer them. he took more than a swipe, the interior minister of germany, i made a note of it, he called it a modern piracy, and what apparently happened is that this vast number of masks was coming from china to berlin, and they were intercepted in bangkok, and trump the pirates told them. yeah, and so of course the suggestion is we all need to work together. i will rattle through these a little bit, we have got lots to fit in, ros, the independent has focused in on social care, saying that our underfunded system is at risk of collapse, a strong headline. it is a strong headline, but actually our underfunded system was at risk of colla

ijust could not manage him anymore.ged the various stresses of my business and the home pressures and they sort of balanced in a sick sort of way. the only time i forgot my son giles was when i was working and i am a workaholic, and the only time i forgot giles was when i was at work. and that is not a terribly healthy way to work but it kept me going for many, many years. but as things got better, ijust could not cope at all and eventually broke down, good old —fashioned nervous breakdown, finished up in hospital myself. again, i hesitate to go into this because it is difficult but nonetheless, you have been public about it and i think people around the world listening would relate to it in a very profound way. you say that your breakdown was so extreme that there was a time when you, and indeed your husband, talked about ending your lives. yes. well, that was before he went into hospital. we just could not manage any more. and we just spoke seriously about a family suicide. my husband actually had the good sense to di

mayl ijust have one more follow—up, if i may,... may ijust come back at one point?frankly we already know, but we won't get on top of whether the effects are zero, positive or negative, and whilst it is highly unlikely that we are going to get negative findings, one can't actually rule it out with a totally new illness until we do the science and understand what works, what harm is, what doesn't. thank you. so i have got the message. it is a belt and braces approach. could i go back... and braces approach. could i go back. . . just and braces approach. could i go back... just a minute, it is not a belt and braces approach because we are allowing the people to have access to these drugs. we are doing it within a rigorous scientific structure. that is the correct approach. it is not belt and braces because we are accelerating the clinical trials much faster than usual and allowing people access, but doing it within a structured approach is undoubtably the best way forward. ok. ijust had a brief question, as a letter that was written to me which was also copied to you.

ijust think it's something.ption i have use it for certain reasons, what you have to lose? what you have to lose? and a lot of people are saying and are taking it, if you are a doctor or nurse, a first responder, a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before... you have been watching president trump giving an update in the white house on us efforts to tackle the coronavirus. at the beginning of that briefing, he passed on his best wishes to the british prime minister borisjohnson who has just been hospitalised for precautionary tests. before i begin i want to express our nation's well wishes to prime minister boris johnson as he wages his own personalfight johnson as he wages his own personal fight with the virus. all americans are praying for him, he'sa all americans are praying for him, he's a friend of mine, a great gentleman, a great leader and he is as you know brought to the hospital today. but i am hopeful and sure that he is going to be fine. he is a strong person. let's go back to our

morgan, that look on her face was like, dad, i don't understand, ijust want to play.be able to play, and so where would we go for morgan? couldn't take her to a lot of parks because of certain circumstances of hers, and talking to others, we found the same situation. how do we develop a place where those who have settled the — — develop a place where those who have settled the —— need and those who don't come together and play? in a fully inclusive environment. those discussions, those to cats, those meetings eventually turned into what we now have here today, morgan's wonderland. that is so amazing. since then, people from all over the united states and literally all over the world make special trips to come here, in an environment that isjust different to any other environment in the world. right! alex! look! what do you think? this is amazing. alex really likes ipads and things like that where he can manipulate, so like that where he can manipulate, so when he came into this room, there is not a lot of extra noise, but there is a lot of things that he can touch. yo

ok, ijust wa nt to be further interventions. ok, ijust want to get through a couple more.elegraph jack, elderly actors to be barred from tv dramas. just when you stop and think about all the different angles story wise on this terrible pandemic. this is obviously, hadn't occurred to me, had it for you? people in their 80s and soaps not to be able to act with younger actors. and there's probably so many different versions of this story you could write about different aspects of society if you put your mind to it. which is why you have to hope that we can come up with a vaccination. the idea that we can be able to lock away all the older people in society for the next couple of years while they develop a vaccine i think is pretty unrealistic. i don't think that's really going to happen. older people some of them are in and out of hospital quite a lot anyway. they're not going to be locked away in safe places. and people are going to want to see their families after a sol don't think this is going to be a go. helen, even if you reach the wonderful age of the hundred you don't

ijust can't wait to go back to work.'s a driving instructor in nearby rugby, he's had no income since having to stop work more than five weeks ago, waiting to see if he will get government support, relying on savings. it has changed the way we are buying, but it's the household bills, the energy costs, that sort of thing that we have to keep an eye on. how long could you sustain from your savings? probably another three or four weeks, if that. how are you feeling about it? i'm trying not to to be honest. having to share a car with students, he's not sure when he will be able to safely work, but is trying to focus on the positives. i think it's made me think that money isn't everything. the one thing i have done is taught my daughter to ride her bike, and you can't take that away. businesses like most are waiting to see how a new normal might work, conscious all the while the country's economic health faces a long recovery. how many times has someone told you they are seeing more vehicles on the road? well, the proof is t

weeks, he has been markable to see so many companies and organisations and individuals like the banks ijusthey stepped up to help small business and they are big business and small business will someday be the big business. but the small businesses, half of our economic strength for the people don't realise when you add them up but they just rose to realise when you add them up but theyjust rose to the occasion. everybody is rising to the occasion. it has been incredible to watch. to honour and celebrate citizenship, we are asking americans to use the hashtag america

because he's supposed to be helping us and telling us what to do, but yeah, ijust hope he recovers. i don't agree with his policies but to see anyone in that condition brings it home. no, i feel sorry for him, especially having thatjob. sorry for him, especially having that job. with the focus of the nation on the prime minister in his hospital bed, so our thoughts are on the front line and the remarkable nhs staff who risk their own lives caring for him and countless others. mark easton, bbc news. so as the prime minister faces a second night in intensive care, let's talk once again to our political editor laura kuenssberg. and in that official briefing, obviously a determined attempt by ministers to say it is government business as usual, despite the fact that the prime minister is incapacitated. what did you make of that? you are right, ministers tried to be resolute and say the plan set out by the prime minister, the instructions as the phrase was used, are still being followed to the letter and there is no confusion about what ought to be done and the plans are absolutely clear

we do need to flatten that curve and it is so serious, and ijust wish that curve and it is so serious that curve and it is so serious, and ijust wish people would really listen to what the government, and we are saying. it is harrowing to see the devastation caused by coronavirus. and humbling to witness the resilience of nurses and doctors. the heroes of this crisis. 0ne doctors. the heroes of this crisis. one of the latest countries to advise peoples to wear metal cover their faces advise peoples to wear metal cover theirfaces in advise peoples to wear metal cover their faces in public advise peoples to wear metal cover theirfaces in public is the united states despite the guidance from experts at the world health organisation that medical masks should be reserved for health care professionals, and not used by the general public. israel, indonesia and morocco are now amongst countries that have made wearing a facemask in public compulsory. the bbc‘s science editor has been investigating how effective wearing them can be. a computer simulation of someone coughing any supermarket. thi

ijust hope the ministers to recognise the wonderful work that has gone on and that goes on up and down in nursing homesjust like where liz was. by doing a job equal to anyone in the national health service. latest official figures from england and wales combined with numbers from scotla nd and wales combined with numbers from scotland show that in the week ending april the 17th there were almost 8000 deaths in care homes an increase almost 2500 from the week before. almost one third of those linked to covid—i9 the equivalent figure is not available for northern ireland. the information collected by the care regulator up until last friday suggest that deaths in care homes are still rising. even so homes are still rising. even so homes like this one continue to struggle to get the testing and protective equipment that they need. there are far more people being cared for outside the nhs than inside and they all need looking after and deserve better than they've got. the government says it is ramping up testing with mobile units visiting places like scarborough and that it is providing bil

obviously, ijust brief, your story of the week.s presidential election has been pushed to the back pages because of the coronavirus. it would be dominating news, bernie sanders endorsed joe biden this weekend is a said democrats are now completely unified behind biden. it is going to be the most important election, will determine a lot of the issues we have been discussing today in terms of the us public role in global leadership, and the reinforcement of multilateral institutions. we only have a couple of minutes left. what i hope to do isjust have a couple of minutes left. what i hope to do is just talk briefly around all of you about the economics of all of this, because it isa economics of all of this, because it is a dimension in all of the stories that you have mentioned, and it is a huge dimension of the virus story of the imf now talking about the biggest global contraction since the great depression of the 1930s. huge applications for everyone, and most of all, the poor. this is the virus which is said not to discriminate,

ijust thought that the ministers still recognise the wonderful work that's gone on and goes on up work and down the country —— hope the minister still recognise. they are doing a job equal to anyone in the nhs of. information collected by the ca re information collected by the care regulator last friday suggest deaths in care foams are still rising —— care homes. homes like this one continue to struggle to get the of of equipment they need. there are far more people being careful outside the nhs than in the nhs stop loop they deserve better than they got. it's been to whittled too late. the government says home kids are making testing easier and that all residents and staff will be eligible for test. it insists it's also providing millions of pieces of protective equipment. but that offers no comfort here. this woman is struggling to explain to her two—year—old granddaughter why her mother, i ca re granddaughter why her mother, i care worker isn't coming home. 26—year—old sonia died of coronavirus. herfamily 26—year—old sonia died of coronavirus. her family say she loved her dog lookin

ijust want to go back to the reins.nday times and shyama perera alluded to this. they have done a bigger story on the government's tactics and strategy in the run—up to this pandemic taking hold in the uk. it looks pretty damning. to this pandemic taking hold in the uk. it looks pretty damninglj to this pandemic taking hold in the uk. it looks pretty damning. i mean it is very damning and for those of us it is very damning and for those of us who were in lockdown long before boris told us to go into lockdown, it isjust basically a thread that look at the speed with which boris actually entered the activities, if you like, that there were four cobra meeting that he didn't attend. 0ne because he was posing with a dragon for chinese new year. the fact that he came in late and didn't understand just how serious it was, even understand just how serious it was, even though everybody was saying so, andindeed even though everybody was saying so, and indeed we can all remember interviews where ministers were asked about this and

ijust came american banks will be able to help.o help. ijust came out and i haven't heard. i heard there was a glitch. we will find out whether that's worked out. it did work out for the original amount of money. this is the second amount of money. this is the second amountandl amount of money. this is the second amount and i will find out about that. we're relying on the banks to go out. i wouldn't mind doing that. i don't know what the legal status of something like that is. i'm not involved in that process but i would certainly like to have it listed. i have to find out if there is a legal problem, but if there isn't, i would do it gladly. a majority of polls show americans blame china for the spread of the coronavirus and yet they are taking advantage of the crisis to make the world more dependent on their supply chains. how do you hold china accountable and how do you keep our country... there are a lot of ways you can hold them accountable. we are doing very serious investigations as you probably know. we are not happy with c

ijust want back that money. i just want to back that money. want to clarify, because certain people on the ppp may not have been clear and understanding the certification, so we will give people the benefit of the doubt, we are going to put an faq out explaining the certification, if you pay back the loan right away, you won't have liability to the sba and to treasury, but there are severe consequences for people who don't attest properly to this certification. we want to make sure this money is available to small businesses that needed to, people who have invested their entire life savings, we appreciate what is going oi'i savings, we appreciate what is going on and they are hiring people back. how are you going to ensure that those small businesses like small restaurants, cafes, bars, who did not get the money last time around are going to get at this time? welcome as a set you know, there are a million of these companies that did get it that are very small, we are working with the banks. we are extremely pleased that's the small banks did g

ijust coronavirus not being able to be there. i just can't coronavirus not being able to be there.l that is, and i think also, as we talked about recognising the really, really crucial work, that not only nhs staff, but also people i care workers, people who in normal times are really terribly paid, and are are you going through very bad conditions and are treated as low skilled in government policy, people who are doing this crucial work and being there in the final moments when someone is suffering from and dies from coronavirus. i think we really need to recognise the toll that that takes on them, but also the kind of very important work that they are doing, and how hard that must be. and that is the last word. a writer and academic, and sam from the daily express, thank you to you both. that's it for the papers tonight. thanks to my reviewers, sam list and maia goodfellow. next year and bbc news, the film review. good night. —— next here on it bbc news,

you know, ijust knew, ijust knew what was going to happen tne next day, the next day.the days to go past. yeah, it's just gone worse. tara told me she has been mentally and physically abused by her partner for six months. he deleted her social media account, stopped her from seeing family and controlled all aspects of her life. since having to isolate with him, things escalated. you must stay at home. it's obviously been getting worse since the lockdown as well. mentally abusive, verbally. he's been like hitting me. just causes an argument over nothing. and obviously if i fire back, say something wrong, he'lljust hit me. new figures seen by the bbc give a picture of the potential consequence of lockdown for victims. the national domestic abuse helpline has seen a 25% increase in calls and online requests over the past week. refuge, the country's largest domestic abuse charity who run the line, say there has also been a daily rise of 150% in people visiting the website. tara has now fled her abuser and is being supported by a charity in wales. but charities and campaign

conscience wise, ijust can't do it. do it, all going to be in the same boat economically, so... the white mountain hotel has been a local landmark the decades. even the slow season, its 80 rooms are fully booked at the weekends but now it's empty and most of the staff,

and ijust and many others are doing as well. downing st, i am thanks to the miracles of modern day technology able to be in constant touch with my officials, everybody in the various department across the whole of whitehall who is coordinating the response to coronavirus. and i am absolutely confident that we will beat it and we will be together. and we will do it by staying at home, protecting our nhs, and saving lives. thanks very much. the message is clear, that was a message from the prime minister and his private twitter account. let's pause and get the weather with darren betz. hello there into this weekend and next week it should feel more like spring. once it was quite cold underneath the cloud and in northern parts of the uk it is getting windier in... a lot of quotas and spilling down across the uk so limited sunshine and showers. have your weather is for the north and we could see low—level snow for a while in scotland before the showers ease off later on. for all of us there will be a strongest —— a stronger breeze p

ijust wa nt to from icv. good afternoon. ijust want to pick—up on laura's point about data. covid—19 have been forgotten. would it not be more respectful to include those debts even if they are not that exact? what i tell you about my perspective and that i would say is people working in care homes, where the people in them or looking after them. you have absolutely not been forgotten. there is a enormous amount of focus at care homes not only get the ppe they need but they get the support they are doing in theirjobs. when we are clapping every week we clap for everyone in caring. in terms of the data, we are working with the ons to speed up the publication of that data. in terms of the data that we publish everyday and make decisions i think there there is a question about making sure we have a dataset that is consistent and accurate and timely. i think there is a logistical challenge in being able to collect that data and making decisions on it. yvonne can may be elaborate on that point. thank you, chancellor. i would very much like to have the best possible data on a dail

should ijust close now, should ijust stop now, hand the keys back to the landlord and say thanks very a coffee shop. i first met him back in february when he was getting ready for opening. back then, he admitted it was a gamble investing in a high street where almost 25% of shops were empty. they can't get any lower than this, surely. if it gets any lower than this, they willjust bulldoze the place down. but it did get worse. he put his life savings into this business, but the week before he was due to start trading, britain went into lockdown. how long do you think you can last without it being open? another month, possibly, before it dries up, before the money side of it dries up. i stay awake at night thinking i'm actually going to go bust before i even get a chance to open. retailers have warned that the very survival of our empty high streets will be decided in weeks rather than years and some businesses may never recover or reopen after such a sudden drop in trade. in march, the bbc launched its year—long high—street project, charting the changes of this north—east town. coronav

ijust wondered how soon that money will come through and in what form.indeed throughout the whole of the crisis, and we are absolutely agreed that support is required, and in this package today, which will be substantial, assistance will be provided. i think it is fair to say, though, we are not looking to try to run services, because 95% of people are not travelling, we are not looking to run full services, but it is very important that they are available, not least to get critical workers to the nhs and around as discussed. so we are pretty much there, no doubt i will be speaking to the mayors and others this coming weekend about it as well. thank you very much indeed. can i turn to heather edwards, itv? good afternoon. to be secretary of state, please, you have just announced the government money to keep these essential ferry services running between the mainland and the isle of wight and the isles of scilly, but we wight and the isles of scilly, but we do know of other ferry companies that are struggling because of this lockdown, notably the port of

ijust go out there is no point in trying.s of some of our most loved animals. the wildlife trust have set up 20 webcams across the country. nationally, we have seen 275 increase in the number of visitors —— percent —— one can appear to last year. it is so important for people to get that connection with nature with all my wildlife webcams. it may be some comfort to have a look and see that, as human society struggles to cope with the virus, the natural world carries on uninterrupted. just to let you know that you can keep up—to—date with the recent advice with our website and you can keep in touch with me on twitter. thank you for watching. hello, if your saturday weather view has been a cloudier one that is likely that tomorrow will be brighter. that said, we are not expecting any change in scotland. a fair amount of sunshine today and plenty of blue skies to look out upon tomorrow. at least where there has been cloud today, elsewhere, there has been some useful rain after what so far in april has been a very dry month. high
