hi, my name is ella and i live in north london with four other people.gh—risk category, so i'm going to show you some of the measures we've put in place to keep everybody safe. first things first, and no prizes for this one, we wash our hands as soon as we get in. even though we've got a fair amount of space where we live, it's quite difficult to remember to keep the recommended government distance of two metres, which is about the length of a small elephant. thankfully, the hygiene measures we've put in place are a lot easier to keep up. in the bathroom... we keep the bathroom as clean as possible. no more shared hand towels, we separate our toothbrushes and we even have our own personal supply of loo roll. in the kitchen... no more shared tea towels and each housemaid has their own cutlery and crockery. —— housemate. we keep the place clean and antibac the dinner table after every use. one final rule, we make sure the doorknobs and light switches are cleaned once a day. it may seem like a lot of rules, but having housemates certainly has its upsides. y

can he reassure us that that lack of capacity, which to me was astonishing in a north london hospitalestimony of the noble baroness, and i cannot help but be moved by the situation which she has described. this virus has moved incredibly quickly and hospitals are, i think, doing amazing work to adapt to the conditions that the virus requires. but it has moved quickly and everyone is learning how to do it on the job. a former health minister had a question about testing. we know that staff are having to self—isolate because someone at home seems to be sick, but they may not be? what kind of numbers are we talking about? the prime minister's talked by getting up to 25,000 a day. they're 65 million people in the country. what is the ambition notjust in four weeks, but eight weeks and 12 weeks of what we might get to and how we are going to get there? my noble friend is quite right to press me for numbers. the tests we are talking about are new to this virus, some of them only a few weeks old. it requires the tests to be tested to ensure that they are delivering accurate results. and for

this man, who has parkinson's and advanced dementia, need carers four times a day at his home in north londont without masks to protect him or themselves. they have to go within two metres of him and there's no protection. they could be asymptomatic but contagious and give it to him. if he gets it... i doubt he'd survive, to be honest. the government says every social care provider will get their supplies they need and denies the health service is being prioritised but this is a sector that has long felt it has played second fiddle to the nhs. mark easton, bbc news. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, tottenham striker harry kane has revealed that he could leave spurs, if the club does not progress in the right direction, as he wants to win trophies "sooner rather than later." the england captain is yet to win a trophy at tottenham, who have slipped to eigth in the suspended premier league table. kane also believes that the current season should be scrapped, if it can't be completed by the end ofjune. adding that "we need to try to finish the season, but there needs to b

across both north west london and probably across the whole of north london and into hertfordshire, toes. but it is a concern that they were put in that position and it is reassuring on one level, to hear there is a nationwide effort to bring staff back into the national health service and i hope some of that support can be brought in at northwick park. 0k, gareth thomas, thank you very much for your time. thank you. the government's scientific advisors have warned that social distancing policies will need to be in place for the best part of a year alternating between strict and less strict measures to help intensive care units cope. it's in marked contrast to the prime minister's assessment yesterday — that the uk could turn the tide of the disease in 12 weeks. intensive care units are overwhelmed in italy. there have been more than 600 deaths there in the past 2a hours alone. the only way to avoid that here, say government scientists, is to keep our strict social distancing controls in place for at least six of the next 12 months. that includes school closures, general social distanc

one measure taken was the construction of the regions can all in north london which was built between 816-8192 provide a livelihood for the many unemployed and starving pour. the idea is that you bet it connects agricultural production with market towns so that in future events of food shortage is an economic distress that cities like london would be better connected prof so the lighting teams and the tab or an emergency governments felt no such responsibility toward this citizens so we see the beginning of a new era of proactive government intervention and involvement in social approve money and public works and humanitarian relief. but such moves did little to diffuse rising public anger. despite the crisis parliament refused to resend the controversial corn laws which used heavy taxation on grain to keep prices high. but the situation finally exploded and massive riots took place in london and other british cities. to disturbances climaxed in manchester with the so-called peterloo massacre. you have crowds of women and children set upon by horses wielding shorts and machetes slawso

this was the scene in finchley in north london this evening at eight o'clock where residents came outand in nottingham where residents of a block of flat showed their support from the balconies. meanwhile, a series of landmarks in london — including the london eye and big ben — lit up in blue during the salute. as well as other landmarks around the uk — such as belfast city hall, lincoln cathedral and principality stadium. annemarie plas is the woman behind the event, and earlier she told the bbc what had inspired her. well, i was inspired by what i saw happening in my home country. being dutch, i'm still in many dutch web chat groups so i saw first—hand it happening as well as the actual applause and then i was looking up and i saw what is happening in way more countries than just the netherlands and i thought why don't we just try to do this here as well. and rather spontaneously i posted on my social channels on whatsapp and before we knew it, it got spread throughout the nation. you've been contacting us with your questions about the chancellor's speech and the support that could
