imean, i coronavirus last very long on paper.er bag lying around for a couple of minutes or so, i don't think, i think you are ata or so, i don't think, i think you are at a very low risk of picking up infection from the paper that has been handled by somebody infected with coronavirus. i mean, there are other risks, if somebody sneezes on your face, then you are obviously due to get the infection, but i wouldn't worry about handling paper, being passed from one to the other. imean, take being passed from one to the other. i mean, take ordinary precautions. if somebody is handing you, a stranger handing you a paper, then wear gloves and leave it for a couple of minutes or so, half—an—hour, just to be on the safe side, but it is not a major risk. you have converted a laboratory, i believe, so you can carry out these tests. 1500 tests a day. why did you feel it is important to do that? well, i mean, it was a diagnostic lab anyway, an accredited diagnostic lab. we do hiv tests, but sort of thing, for the hospital anyway. so we we re

it's just, imean, he and we are ok with that.t's just, i mean, he kept on saying i think he said five times over that short speech, he set a president said. and it really is and to watch a conservative government doing this ina conservative government doing this in a newly elected conservative government decide to take this huge, huge step to deliver 80% of people present wages for an on verified length of time is just mad. necessary and sensible, but it's just watching it is we get from a mind blowing, really. when you look at this a lot of this is call me fears and nervousness about what is going to happen. yes, and that's the real issue. the government ideally wants is for businesses to be able to weather the storm and then come back hopefully after the period of time that this has been able to sort itself out as much as possible. and the measures today about covering 80% of workers wages is to put them into what's called furlough that evenif into what's called furlough that even if they cannot work theirjobs are not there per

imean, mars.nding out what our future holidays on the martian surface might feel like. now, this week i am in the maldives, which is a dream destination for many people, but there is no doubt that tourism and climate change have had an impact on its environment and, a while back, i came here to meet some of the people trying to do something about that. we are starting with something that up until now most tourists have not wanted to see on their pristine beaches but which is vital in the fight against climate change, seagrass. so, sandra, tell me what is seagrass? seagrass is very important because actually it has a lot of the functions in the ocean. not only is it a habitat or nursery for many animals, many fish, during different stages of their life, but it also provides most of the oxygen that we need for us, also, for breathing. and what's the biggest threat to seagrass? in most of the reserves, they thought that seagrass it is not looking nice for the guests, because it is not the white sand

imean... have you ever felt scared to...ay something at a restaurant where the food isn't right and the waiter comes by and says, "how is everything ? " i was intimidated, i was nervous. what you're saying is the concept of consent is sought of meaningless in the power dynamic between the men mostly who are controlling the porn industry and a young 21—year—old actress such as yourself? absolutely. when there's four white male producers in the room and you say something like that to them and they all just laugh. .. i mean, it's kind of devastating and it makes you not want to speak up and say anything again. it's the same way when you sign your contracts. you have the president and the ceo of the company sitting in the room with you waiting for you to read it and when you're reading it you're not comprehending everything that's happening because you're so nervous because people are staring at you. when you walked out of that filming area at the end of that particular video film, did you in your heart know this is going to be

imean, for conversation!ople who filed for unemployment insurance this week was almost twice the entire total number of people who were on the programme the week before. so we're really entering unprecedented territory here. but if we look to donald trump, martha, saying he wants to restart the economy by easter, your thoughts on that? i think people who say we need to restart the economy are overlooking the fact that the best thing for the economy right now is to get the public health situation under control. if we try to start things back up if we try to start things back up but people are still afraid of contracting the virus or afraid they won't be able to get healthcare services if they do get sick, they're not going to start going back to restaurants that you have to do provide people with the security that they will be taken security that they will be ta ken care of security that they will be taken care of if they get sick. andrew, is that the right order of eve nts ? andrew, is that the right order of

december, we've been dealing with a new viral threat, not the virus itself, but misinformation by which imeanch i mean reported advice that are either incorrect, misleading or com pletely either incorrect, misleading or completely false. one theory that will not go away is that this virus came from a chinese lab. here is the washington times in january reporting that sets could be connected to a chinese biowarfare programme. there is this in february from the new york post, an opinion piece, do not buy china's story, it may have leaked from a lab. there is no evidence to back this up. however with a lot of misinformation, there are some grains of truth in there. this outbreak did originate in we hand in china and you will find the wuhan institute which is a bio lab, but this is a very big but, here the medical journal but this is a very big but, here the medicaljournal documenting how scientists have analysed this virus and they have concluded it has come from wildlife and was not engineered ina lab. from wildlife and was not engineered in a lab. if wildlife is the suspected source, huge amou

imean, it in its medical equipment everywhere.s a good reason to do it in a way in which there is a common planning, a common supply chain and the possibility to provide it to people everywhere in the same circumstances. this is not a moment to fight each other, this is not the moment for division, the they moment to come together. it's not easy in the present world and we know all the present world and we know all the contradictions that exist but the contradictions that exist but the choice is between chaos and united action to respond to a very dramatic threat that humankind is facing. so it's not helpful when you hear comments from the trump administration including the president himself referring to covid—19 as that chinese virus. president himself referring to covid—19 as that chinese viruslj covid—19 as that chinese virus.|j think this is not the moment for anyone to blame others. probably, i'd believe in the end we will need to do lessons learned and need to see what failed and why it failed in several parts of the world,

imean, i mean, answer that question, but also tell us about how long this virus can stay on any kindesearch that demonstrates that the virus can live on surfaces, different services, anywhere from a couple of hours, up to three days. however, the amount of virus persisting after a short time drops off dramatically. this was in a laboratory setting, so it's hard to apply this to real life. the reality is that the risk from delivered goods is going to be fairly low. but i would recommend that delivered goods is safer than going to the shops yourselves. of course, restaurants are closed, so i would encourage that. my suggestion would be to wash your hands before handling those packages, to store things and put them away, and then wash your hands right after. "my mother is 61 and has addison's disease, "so she is steroid dependent. "could you please advise if she is in a high risk category?" maybe just tell us what they high—risk category is. we are getting this advice now from the prior minister about 1.5 million people most at risk you need to self—isolate for 12 weeks. but who are tho

imean, it expecting the peak this urge to hit.n, it is unprecedented that, you know, we are seeing a pandemic of this nature, and to be given all of this nature, and to be given all of these social distancing restrictions, i mean, it is very clear that this is going to have a significant impact on the nhs. and in fact, seeing that announcement today about recruiting that 250,000 extra people to help with the nhs is another clear indication of how bad the government thinks this is going to get in the next weeks and months to get in the next weeks and months to come. andy, and that is highlighted in the times. the call foran army of highlighted in the times. the call for an army of volunteers, and quite a dramatic picture on the front page of the times, of army trucks delivering supplies to saint thomas's hospital in london. but that sort of call for volunteers to help the nhs, it is really sort of everybody doing their bit, isn't it, whether it is just doing their bit in terms of social distancing or actively helping the health ser

imean we case they have got angry customers. about it, like, we obviously want to be safe more than anything else. but it's frustrating that i just more than anything else. but it's frustrating that ijust don't feel that this sort of thing is just decided in an instant. ifeel that, surely, they would've known that before we flew out this morning or before we flew out this morning or before we flew out this morning or before we got on the coach, you know, there are so many times. we got all the way here, i almost feel that we have been through, really, all of the places where we would be most exposed to it, like airports and aeroplanes and coaches, being of the mountains was the place that we we re the mountains was the place that we were the least worried about coming to be honest, because we would've been spread out. we feel that now, all they are really doing is kind of forcing everybody to just congregate in the pubs and in the hotel reception, because they've not told us reception, because they've not told us to go to our ro

>>well, imean it's interesting that you're working we're in a situation right now where.hey're still actually campaign bernie sanders has not said. he's given up so there will be possibly. still primaries in june which just barely before the july deadline. for the dnc and for delegates to be sodified so there's that uncertainty that still going trying to do is pretend that doesn't ext. and what he's got to do to do more of it is trying to work on and free me cable stations. do more town halls and participation throu the internet that's the only thing that hehas right now of short of 've got good directly inrvening in in different states in going in there that he doesn't want to do at because the disruptions going to cause the first responders because of the fact that the secret service and the people have to be involved in or frankly you don't want someone. i think for the cia, the president or or joe biden going into a situation where they could catch. this disease ich really affects people over the e of 70 so, and it's goin to be rd but it's too early. there's a lot of

applause imean, applause i mean, that appears to be every night, melissa.se such a bleak picture, you are just describing, but then also this. bleak picture, you are just describing, but then also thism really is heart—warming, every night, without fail, sometimes a little earlier than hbm, you start hearing applause. my neighbours put on the spanish version of i will survive. not only dedicated to the health workers, but also the bus drivers, everyone who was working in this crisis. for the first time, you see my neighbours via the window, because of this nightly tradition, which shows no sign of stopping. it really is a moment in the day when eve ryo ne really is a moment in the day when everyone comes together and is thankful and is grateful for all the work everyone is doing to try to resolve this crisis. thank you so much for taking time to speak to us. india is in its first full day of a three—week lockdown. the prime minister, narendra modi, told the country's 1.3 billion people that the only way to save themselves from coronavirus is for no—one to l

imean, i figures say it was 9000 on saturday.ottom line is, the figures are coming in from numerous different trusts, and it mightjust be a bureaucratic difficulty in collating accurate and definitive figures. surely the bigger point is, that is still a long way short, whether it is seven, nine or ten, of what we need to be doing. we need first of all to roll out testing amongst medical staff to check whether they can return to work or whether they should not be at work, that needs to happen quickly. i come back to the point made by the former health secretary jeremy hunt at the weekend, he has said this fairly consistently. he says, if you look at south korea, taiwan, where they have allowed some normality of life to resume, they have done so by extensively testing, that means driving test in four people, just like mcdonald's, stop and be tested. testing anyone and eve ryo ne and be tested. testing anyone and everyone who has any symptoms whatsoever and then contact tracing who those people have been in contact with. if you do t

tell us about how it's working, imean, your not.we had to implement in the last couple of days is something we would have done over a couple of yea rs. we would have done over a couple of years. we've changed so that we offer telephone triage to patients that need advice. if they need a face—to—face consultation they are triage to buy a doctor first and thenif triage to buy a doctor first and then if they need to be seen face—to—face they are brought to the practice, it's a difficult situation because we are trying to find health ca re because we are trying to find health care for because we are trying to find health ca re for everyone because we are trying to find health care for everyone that needs it but at the same time, ensuring that other doctors and staff at the practice are safe so we can continue to provide a service. and also create an environment that a site for patients that need to be seen so that they can come to the practice and be seen. as things are progressing, we are being informed that things are going to change,

i think that's just as funny as the story you're telling, but that wod imean, we're all livin throughimon and garfunkel songs these day, hello darkness my old friend. are you writing any songs? i see the guitars. >> yeah, i'm writing music. i'm doing a lot of that. >> i can't wait to hear it. all right. mr. haitian sensation, you have time for one more? >> i have got time for one more. a dog caught on video making it pretty ruff, ruff for his owner to work from home. look at this. >> oh. >> every time he tries to get on his laptop, the dog says oh, no you don't. >> can i do my work? >> that's little ginny. >> okay, all right. >> 3.6 million views. >> i love it. >> there's little ginny. >> we need a companion like that. >> so sweet. >> these are a great time if you're a baby or a dog because everyone is home, hanging out. >> how many views? >> 3.6 million views. >> i got the petting with baby teddy, we'll crawl, stack some blocks, rings. i looked at the clock, six minutes had gone by, gayle. >> i think at least you have a baby teddy. when you're home alone, me, myself and i looked in t

imean, i employers to get on the front foot. the metoo movement is that they have set in place complaint procedures and the like so people can raise poor conduct and that is good. there should be a way for people to be able to say at work that something has happened and it needs to be corrected. but we are really asking for employers to go the next step and have a proactive approach looking at their workplace culture, talking to staff about how to make sure relationships at work are respectful. rather than waiting for when something has gone wrong and i'm using a process to try and address it, actually be building a culture that is inclusive of all right from the beginning. culture that is inclusive of all right from the beginningm culture that is inclusive of all right from the beginning. it is really interesting that the data shows in the survey that people feel that women's careers are significantly more at risk if they turn down a romantic advance. they talk about their family life or don't take part in social activities wit

you're him fattics that control your imean systems have no -- immune system have no walls.contraction of your muscles working make your body work. just walk. even if it's a small apartment, when we come back in circles. walk, walk, walk. >> without getting too far ahead of anything here, david, dr. fauci was talking about how the virus then would potentially come back at a later date. can you talk more about that, and long-term planning now as we deal with the short-term crisis. >> viruses come in waves. we enact draconian means, we stop the spread and it goes away. in another area where it becomes winter in the globe, it can starts and spread again around the globe. if the virus comes back, we're going to have medications ready. we're going to have our health care infrastructure ready to take it on. we're working on a vaccine. hopefully in the next 12 to 18 months. we are going to be much more prepared than we are today. in addition, which is key, is we're developing a test where a predicti prick of the finger will tell you whether you have the virus ouren. going forward,

imean, little bit early for easter? it is.some days now, with fewer mps in the chamber, fewer boats taking place, people trying to self distance. but it is going to close tonight, once they have emergency legislation through. it was meant to close next tuesday, so it is shutting up shop a week early. it will come back on april 21, about four weeks away. the signs are that it may not come back in the usual manner, there may be a limited number of mps who come back. it matters, obviously, because we are in hugely uncertain times and there are many, many questions that have to be asked about the government's handling of the crisis. that will be harder to do because mps won't be there. i suppose, harder to do because mps won't be there. isuppose, you know, we harder to do because mps won't be there. i suppose, you know, we have seen that already with a lot of questions in the past 2a hours over the position regarding construction workers, who are still pretty much being left to go into work if their bosses are convinced that they

as i understand it, there is no time limit on this, imean it, there is no time limit on this, i meanen very clear from the action the chancellor has ta ken very clear from the action the chancellor has taken is that he is prepared to do whatever it takes. that is sensible to have those measures in place for now because we have to see what happens with the virus and how long these social distancing measures need to be in place. i think for now, three months is enough. he's also been very clear, that will cover payroll from the 1st of march, obviously everyone will work hard to get the system up and running as soon as possible. the cbi and running as soon as possible. the cb! and others will play a huge role in that campaign to communicate to everyone, and that's what i would say to everyone whether you are a small business or a very large one, you can go to your bank and the government is backing ways in which you can find the finance you need to make it through these coming weeks, and we are going to help to communicate how those different mechanisms work. and in terms of getting tha

what i would say is to monitor the situation and, imean, say is to monitor the situation and, i mean, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. some universities in london are ending face—to—face lessons due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. the london school of economics is doing all taught assessments online. the lse campus and halls of residence will remain open. a university spokesman said these actions are a precaution. king's college london is also to end face—to—face classes. the insurance market lloyd's of london will shut its underwriting floors for the first time in its history today. the 24 hour closure will be a test of the coronavirus contingency plans. the group said it will close four of the 12 floors in its building on lime street. it will also take the opportunity to deep—clean the underwriting room and all public areas in the building. the closures follow the deaths of two more people in london who had tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of uk deaths to 10. one of the most recent victims was

imean, it up, tell us why that is interesting! i mean, it is interesting, obviously!le, a skill like this, any guesses what that might be? it looks like a crocodile or something. not far off, that is a komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard, one of the world's largest lizard, one of the only venomous lizards as well. so there will always be a tendency to merge towards the deadly animals, because let's face it, an awful lot about following are into that kind of thing. we will be talking about venoms and poisons, but also talking about the things that are on the curriculum, talking about biomes, talking about migration, all kinds of things that are important to the study of biology. polite and really briefly, i was lucky enough to see you the other day, we have been looking back at special moments we have had, you have got twin babies, what do you do to look after them? they are doing ground, helen is a superb mum, my wife helen is so, so good at staying focused, staying on top of things, they are both being breast—fed at the moment, so we don't have to worry quite s

imean, you divide up the numbers a bit. right.ant to thank the airlines, british airways and virgin, titan, jet2 and others who are all coming forward to help with this scheme. but i am not going to pretend it is straightforward. i had the thomas cook repatriation, but was a single airline and we basically knew where people were. this is far more complex, it is global and it involves a much different global situation, where airlines and airports are not all running. far from it. so this is not going to be straightforward and i am afraid they will be many cases and examples where people are going through very difficult situations to get home. anyway, the scheme is designed to be on the side and help people get home. can i also ask you, obviously this will have an ongoing impact on the airline industry. we understand this morning that british airways is stopping flights from gatwick, for example. virgin atlantic is expected to ask for a government bailout. are you looking at trying to support, will you bail out the airline industry,

imean, you i mean, you know, this is what we need on bbc breakfast! i can't wait to see her!t represents 600 businesses. it says west end shops could lose over £1 billion due to the outbreak. selfridges has become the latest oxford street shop to announce its temporarily closing because of coronavirus. the company tweeted that it will be closing from 7pm tonight to reduce the impact of the virus. itjoins other shops including apple and nike, who have also temporarily shut their doors. meanwhile, alexandra palace announced last night that it has also closed for the time being because of the virus. ten homeless charities, including crisis and st mungo's, have written to the prime minsiter calling for rough sleepers to be considered a vulnerable group. london has the highest numbers of rough sleepers anywhere in the country. the charities says they should have rapid access to testing and be given self—contained accommodation so they can self—isolate. from hugging and kissing children to visiting grandparents, one of the biggest risks of infection is inside the home. a professor

imean, mar5. until now most tourists haven't wanted to see on their pri5tine beaches, but which is vital in the fight against climate change, 5eagra55. so, sandra, tell me what is seagrass? seagra55 is very important, because actually it has a lot of the functions in the ocean. not only is it a habitat or a nursery for many animals, many fish, during the different stages of their life, but it also provides mo5t of the oxygen that we need for us, also, for breathing. and what's the biggest threat to seagrass? in most of the reserves, they thought that 5eagra55, it's not looking nice for the guests, because it's not the white sand that they want to have for their pictures. so they used to remove it from the beach because of that. shall we have a look at the seagrass? yeah, sure, let's go. vamos. it is estimated that the world's oceans lose the equivalent of two 5occer pitches' worth of 5eagra55 every hour of every day. and, because 5eagra55 ab5orb5 and stores carbon far more effectively than rainfor

as for those temperatures, pretty similar feel to the weather, imean, pretty similar feel to the weathernk you, nick. see you later. time now for a look at this week's travel show, which is focusing on the effect of the covid—19 pandemic. this week on the show, our look at the impact global pandemic is having international travel. i'm stranded. virgin cancelled my flight yesterday. we're trapped in our hotel for what seems like 15 days. i would love get home, yeah. what are your rights if you've had trips cancelled? how do you cope if you're stuck in a country in lockdown? and just what does the future hold for all of our travels? just a year ago and the headlines from places like paris and venice were very different. we all learned the world ‘over—tourism' as we saw that cafes and attractions of some of our most loved places heaving with holidaymakers. it's a very different picture now. many destinations are in lockdown as people are being asked to stay at home to protect their health and that of others. it means that tourists are being left stranded, holidays cancelled, and airline bos
