let's discuss what we might hear and what the liberal democrats might wa nt to what the liberal democrats i hope he's going to tell us that there is a strategy both to get the testing, tracing and isolating in place that we are going to need to keep people safe and get out of the lockdown. and i hope he will engage with not just lockdown. and i hope he will engage with notjust the opposition parties but a wider debate to make sure how we can get to the end of this virus. that's some way off, caution is the right of the day, we told? that's some way off, caution is the right of the day, we told ?|j that's some way off, caution is the right of the day, we told? i think caution should be the word of the day, no one is asking for anything u nsafe. day, no one is asking for anything unsafe. what we are asking for in the opposition is clarity about the criteria and the path. the uncertainty is worrying people and businesses, and i think we need to bea businesses, and i think we need to be a little bit clearer. we are trying to be constructive. the liberal democrats have supported the chief medi

talking to sir ed davey from the liberal democrats.brings the total death toll now to 18,100. 0ur health correspondent anna collinson is here. give us a sense of context to these figures. every afternoon at about this time, these figures are released from the department of health, and they cover the whole of the uk. so we have had england and other parts of the uk earlier. and what they are saying is in the past 24 hours there have been 759 deaths on these figures, which takes the total in the uk up to more than 18,000. now, we also saw a big jump in those figures yesterday. there we re in those figures yesterday. there were more than 800 deaths announced yesterday following a bit of a dip at the weekend, which is what we have been seeing over the recent weeks. so this set of figures is a slight drop, compared to yesterday, but as we have been saying, you can't read too much from one set of data. overall, though, the trends we are seeing in the figures is that we are seeing in the figures is that we are going down and this is backed up

we can also speak to the liberal democrat co—leader, sir ed davey.ovide positive active assistance to the government, but also being a sort of critical friend, if you government, but also being a sort of criticalfriend, if you like, is that how you would view your own position? yes, totally. i agree with everything that she just said then. and when you come from a press co nfe re nce and when you come from a press conference where you've seen the chief nursing officer of england, ruth may, talk about the fact that two of her colleagues, to registered nurses, young nurses, mothers, have died today in the service of the patient's. then you have to have a sombre mood and you have to get behind the advice of the experts that we must stay at home. so i completely agree with her, and indeed with the government on that. we have to protect our nhs. we have to behave responsibly. this is a deadly virus. it's so infectious, so contagious. and we can all play our distance. and when we go out in those moments we have to, whether it's to buy food or to have exerc

so, we do need to give them protective equipment and the liberal democrats have banged on about thatnd germany, that you mentioned, which appear to have a better grip on this. the university of oxford professor over the weekend he was saying that they were hoping to get to some tests on a vaccine getting going soon, but the government needed to be ready to produce and make sure that roll—out of the vaccine was possible, are the government thinking ahead enough still about the next process of this? well, the vaccine is critical and we all agree that, we all welcome the government‘s initiative on that. the liberal democrats would urge them to work with other countries because they are scientists around the world who are trying to find that vaccine and i think that global cooperation between countries is something that might fast—track that for everybody. so, the vaccine is definitely part of the longer term answer but the liberal democrats have kept on about testing because if we are going to see a phasing out of the restrictions, some of that will involve a lot more testing, yes testi

a senior official of the governing liberal democratic party says abe aims to secure the funds by revisinghe supplementary budget bill. the cabinet approved the bill earlier this month. it was due to be submitted to the diet next monday. abe has told yamaguchi natsuo, the head of the opposition party komeito,o, that there would be income cap for the 100,000-yen payment. it could carry a price tag of 12.6 million yen or $117 billion. the finance ministry says there's never been such a large-scale revision of a supplementary budget. >>> the coronavirus pandemic has reached another grim milestone. johns hopkins university says more than 2 million people have now been infected around the world. over 137,000 people have died. europe remains a major coronavirus hotspot, along with the united states. in italy, there are still hundreds of new cases being confirmed each day, but there was a small glimmer of hope. on wednesday, the number hit its lowest level since the middle of last march. even so, there is little relief from the unrelenting daily tally of deaths.

it is no surprise that the liberal democrats one of the opposition parties has been saying that there an inquiry onceit that there needs to be an inquiry once it is over and i spoke to labour leader keir starmer and he thought an inquiry was inevitable. at the moment and think people will stay focused on what measures he is introducing next week and if he can ease the lockdown and what effect that can have in the future. you mention care homes in particular and one of the reasons those deaths are not going up is the official figures used to be possible that the now encompassed debts and care homes in the wider committee and we are seeing the daily death tolls still continue to rise although it seems to be past the peak of the infections in hospital admissions, there is still a big issue in care homes and questions have been asked about why perhaps there should have beenin about why perhaps there should have been in earlier testing regime or an earlier roll—out of protective in that setting. just briefly, questions also but why these figures have not been included in care homes until n

truly immune to reinfection we discuss possible ways forward with british lawyer luke gets us liberal democrat party politician alan belcher. there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test to get certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible practicalities it difficult non-playing know and claim it's going to be easy but it can be managed you know germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we can't do is underestimate the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know we're seeing a 1000000 new claims for social security or you equivalent in this country going in suggesting people are losing their jobs feel as if they're about to lose their jobs of course the government is not going to allow any system of testing there is certain but if we can get to a place where we let people return to work if they have the necessary antibodies if that is scientifically possible then in

to reinfection or not we discussed possible ways forward with british lawyer lou get off that liberal democrat party politician helen belcher. but i can understand why it's being proposed but there are 2 aspects to this the 1st is the practicality of doing it with still any testing 10000 people a day for the virus there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test to get certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible and also you then have the unintended consequence so it is quite possible that employers for example will turn around and say well actually you must have a valid antibody test the practicalities are difficult no one claimed it's going to be easy but it can be managed you know germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we call them is underestimated the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know we're seeing a 1000000 new claims for social security for your gro

but we do share the same goal of wanting our liberal democratic open society values to continue. we share the same concerns about the chinese and russian approaches to issues like information, freedom of the media, a free internet, government regulation. we will not be surprised -- we want the institutions to function and be able to help developing countries. there is a bigger risk in developing countries and the way they loan the money. it is not necessarily conducive to serious development. i think we have a lot of similar concerns. we talked of the americans all the time about policy. we in britain have a different sort of economic relationship with the chinese, and i think that is probably going to continue. ryan: picking up on some of those points, you already mentioned you sat on the un security council. you have had other roles in the u.n. as well. you want these global institutions to work. you are probably among the best placed people in the world to tell us what can improve in those mechanisms. do you have any ideas we could implement without years of negotiation to get

changing for what he said from 90 33 to 43 hopes for a conservative republican party and their liberal democratic party have gone repeatedly into the waist bucket of for land holds. by forties he said we may be heading into a different situation because of the extreme liberalism of the democrats. that is getting ahead of the story, which starts by the free enterprise battle. for more than 80 years the idea free enterprise despite being ill defined, tasseled with a new deal order, animating the central tension of political culture in the united states. free -- the dangers of excessive public spending and red tape about the expansion of the regulatory states. the free enter vice was extremely compelling alternative. it reveals the fierce and reflective challenges that the new deal faced from the beginning. although the opposition to the new deal took many forms, the call for free enterprise was a common denominator of most criticism. critics shaped conceptions of the proper role of government even during the height of the deal. the traditional free enterprise philosophy are locked in death struggle

that's as economists estimate it's costing the country 2400000000 a day we hear from former liberal democrat leader and one time business secretary servants came. from line medics treating patients because of 19 claimed they are forced to make their own personal protective equipment from improvised materials that's as research suggests the government is severely underestimating the number of doctors off work with the virus but we can now cross to the government's daily corona virus meeting up with coronavirus update with dominic rob good afternoon and welcome to today's downing street press conference i'm joined by the chief scientific advisor us about your balance and chief medical officer professor chris witty before we get on to the detail kerry 1st give an update on the condition of the prime minister i know a lot of people be concerned about that i can tell you he's receiving the very best care from the excellent medical team at some thomas' hospital he remains stable overnight he's receiving standard treatment and breathing without any assistance he's not required any mechanical ventil

identical -- our approaches will not be identical but we do share the same goals of wanting our liberal democratic open society values to continue. we share the same concerns about the chinese and the russian approaches to issues like information, freedom of the internet,ree government regulation. we want these societies to stay as open as possible. we want them up to -- multilateral institutions like the u.n. and the world bank to function effectively and actually be able to help developing countries. not in every case, there is a bit of a risk come of the way the chinese to the developing countries and the way they loan the money is not necessarily conducive to serious development. so i think we have a lot of similar concerns. we talked to the americans all the time about policy. we in britain have a different sort of economic relationship with the chinese. i think that is probably going to continue. >> picking up on some of those points, you already mentioned you sat in the u.n. security council, had other roles in the u.n. as well. you want these global institutions to work. you're probably on

you did not have a president, you know, doing the equivalent of tweeting, liberate, you know, various states governed by democratici would point out today is the anniversary of the day in 1861 that virginia seceded from the union. not a great day for our president to be talking about liberating virginia and the second amendment. >> and, michael, we also have this new dynamic entering the conversation, admittedly on the right. as i mentioned, a lot of fox news prime time is devoted to this. i'm going to play for you some audio that surfaced earlier this week. this is republican congressman named hollingsworth of indiana. >> it is always the american government's position to say, in the choice between the loss of our way of life as americans and the loss of life of american lives, we have to always choose the latter. it is policymakers' decision to put on our big boy and big girl pants and say, this is the lesser of these two evils, and it is not zero evil, but it is the lesser of these evils, and we intend to move forward that direction. >> so, michael, this is the theory of -- it's a grotesque term -- acceptable l

the scottish labour party, the conservatives and the greens and the liberal democrats have said her positionederation have said this morning her actions have made theirjobs more difficult, so how do they address these issues with members of the public when the advice from the person we are meant to be listening to has been flouted. we have heard from the local community council who have said this has caused huge upset to them and they have a large, vulnerable and elderly community and they have been trying very hard to keep the advice going and of course they have been disappointed in the chief medical officer's presence there this weekend. on top of that, if this issue rambles on, it becomes the story and not the advice we are meant to be taking over the coronavirus? firstly, let me say very clearly again, that nobody, not i. very clearly again, that nobody, not i, not the chief medical officer is trying to justify in any way what she did. it was against the guidance, she recognises that and has apologise. it is also important to say she is not escaping consequences for that. the chief medi
