underneath is a suggestion perhaps that liverpool fa ns suggestion perhaps that liverpool fans can'tegulations in place with regards to mass gatherings and moving the game away to prevent that. it is something of an insult? i think it suggests that about foot ball i think it suggests that about football fans. you've got sheffield united which has very little expense in general, that has been a push around mutual venues from mark roberts because the only group of hobbyists in this country who get offered football supporters, we had seen thousands of people on south and beach, some who might have season tickets and some will be catholics and protestants and we will have all things going on in our lives but it's football supporters who are marked out and this lockdown stuff is another example of eight and with football supporters being aware it happens to us all as a collective and in this instance it's happened even more intensity to liverpool supporters. is it a case that football fans can't be picky about this, as a liverpool fan you must be pleased there will be a presumption of the

there has been a spike in liverpool.re similar spikes in birmingham, cardiff, because significant events took place. that can only be then that there had not been a national leadership to do this and i think that is the issue, that this government should have been taking leadership. there are actions that could have been taken and should have been. with speculation over a link between the match and a rise in coronavirus cases in liverpool was put to the deputy chief scientific adviser. i think the question you raised really has to be put into the context of what was the general policy at the time. if we were at a bit of our recent history we were living our lives as normal, in that circumstance, going to a football match is not a particularly large risk. however, once you get to a situation of our strange lives as we live there now, we spend all our time basically at home, of course you would not add on an extra risk of lots and lots of people all going off to the same place at the same time. i think it will be very inte

at the bottom of the table, liverpool currently sits at the one relegation spot byjust one point, butlook at how men's lea ks have one point, but if you look at how men's leaks have sorted out, liverpool could be in serious danger of going down. and if they do, will aston villa be promoted? lots of decision for the fa to still make, and it looks in the dark at the moment. yesterday there was an expression of disappointment that the season will continue, but understanding as to why and the safety has to come first. they said they'll comment further once the fa explains further. there's lots of confusion, but concerns for women's sport more widely, some people are saying it has been disproportionately hit by the pandemic and may take a long time to recover. what you think the main challenges are that we've seen so far? women's sport has been riding the crest of a way for the last few yea rs, the crest of a way for the last few years, but effectively most women sport is running on a financial knife edge. and if you lose a football or netball season, take your pick, the financial implicat

damian good of you to join us so well why is liverpool choosing to defy the government as it seems well it's not necessarily defying the government we've just heard their culture secretary say if schools are safe to open then the should from the 1st of june and that's absolutely the position of liverpool city councillors take it not so their schools won't open but they will open when they are safe to do so and they're working very closely with trade unions who represent the workforce to ensure that it's safe for the staff to come back and the young people so you may not deem it to be safe until maybe the autumn september but of course the government could force you to open schools well before hand. well in fairness to the people who are making the decisions about when schools open will be the governing bodies of the trustees and academies i think the lord mayor not not the lord mare that the mary liverpool joe understand is looking for piracy going forward so that local authorities had those times to close and or open schools they mean as a teacher though you worried that social distanc

in liverpool, we have been told that the r rate is higher in liverpool than in other parts of the countrye saying. i‘m just going to jump in there because what is being recommended is that it because what is being recommended is thatitis because what is being recommended is that it is only certain years that go back to school, certain primary school years initially and then maybe in secondary school years ten and 12 before the summer holidays. that system has an in—built idea of social distancing in it, doesn‘t it? it wouldn‘t be term as we normally know it. that is a view that it has because it has social distancing, but what happens for instance, if children in the reception side of things, it would be really difficult to try to keep apart, but even in the year six and the transition through to secondary school, again, these are primary children that it would be difficult to keep apart. we have a responsibility, notjust to the children of course, but to the teaching staff and to the parents and four grandparents that might be living with children. we have got to make sure that we feel a

in sport, liverpool may have to clinch the premier league title away from the city at a neutral venueith six fixtures set to be moved at the request of national police bosses to avoid fans gathering outside. good morning. it's saturday may 30. our top story today: two of the government's leading scientific advisers have questioned the decision to ease the lockdown in england. sirjeremy farrar and professorjohn edmunds say that ministers are taking risks by allowing the gradual reopening of shops and schools, while there are still thousands of new infections confirmed every day. their warning comes amid fears that this weekend's warm weather will encourage people to ditch social distancing and ignore the rules. charlotte rose has the latest. ahead of the official easing of lockdown restrictions in england on monday, beaches and beauty spots have already seen an increase in crowds. with more hot weather expected this weekend, there are fears some people are dead in social distancing. scots can now meet in groups of up to eight in parks or gardens but they must not go to their homes and

we'll match that in liverpool, in birmingham, and probably the hot spot will be somewhere in the south celsius. now, the sun will be very strong as well. you can see high uv levels pretty much right across the country, so take note if you're planning to enjoy that fine weather outdoors. saturday night's looking absolutely fine, and then sunday, we do it all over again. the winds are light, the skies are clear, the temperatures are going to rise. in fact, in one or two spots, it could reach around 26 or 27 celsius, so a hot day on the way, especially across western parts of england, on sunday. and over the next few days — so this is including the weekend and into next week — that warm plume of air from the southern climes continues to spread across the uk, as far north as scandinavia, even pushing to the arctic circle. so those temperatures are expected to affect peak across the south of the uk come tuesday. we could see temperatures getting up to around 28 degrees celsius. but after that, a big change on the way. look at that — back into the teens by the time we get to the weekend. in

and hartlepool say early june is but some councils like liverpool and hartlepool say earlyjune is toooon to reopen the gates. so could some areas do things differently? there was a lack of consultation about that 1st of june there was a lack of consultation about that 1st ofjune date and it isa about that 1st ofjune date and it is a little inflexible to say it must happen by then because there are different issues in different places. again, listen to people locally, work with them and i think we can find the solution but i think it is the way that is being done thatis it is the way that is being done that is creating that kind of reaction, particularly in the north, where the infection remains high. labour wants more information on the science underpinning the plans and says ministers must deliver on a schools testing programme but while children appear to be at low risk of becoming ill from coronavirus, how much do they carry it? what we have seenin much do they carry it? what we have seen in countries where schools have remained open is that there have not been big outbreaks in sch

as you can see liverpool were way out in front with every chance of becoming champions for the firstd scotland, for their insight. training groups, two metres apart, shooting, dribbling, lots of different you can actually do. coming back to train i don‘t think will cause that much of a problem. pat, what you think you welcome it or do you have some reservations? everyone's going to have some reservations going in. we cannot be completely risk—free. i don't think anybody in any job can be risk—free in a situation like that. however this isjust preparation. we are trying to keep it as safe as possible in the way it's going to is now one player per quarter in the field. that's what they're doing just now. would we do that, we can do well apart as john says as well. we can pass balls to each other but it can be very strictly, very stringently overlooked. if we can get past this stage will step to the next date. nothing more than that, there is, we are going to start. it's1—step. yeah, there are really difficult questions still to come. if we get to the point when we get to that point the
