translation: this is the first meeting of senate and the welsh parliament.to come and more. but first... as the uk became the first european country to record 30,000 coronavirus deaths, the prime minister told mps he "bitterly regrets" the coronavirus epidemic in care homes. in his first appearance in the commons since march, borisjohnson also said he found shortages of personal protective equipment "enraging". and with the government having failed to meet its testing target on several days this week, he set a new target of two hundred thousand tests a day by the end of may. since he last faced mps, borisjohnson has been seriously ill with coronavirus and become a father again. he got a warm welcome on his return to the chamber. i would like to welcome the prime minister back to his rightful place in the chamber. the whole house and the whole country is delighted at his recovery and a welcome back to this elected house. i now call the prime minister to answer his engagement question. thank you for your kind words and it is good to be back, even though i have

we are meeting for the first time as members of the senedd cymru in the welsh parliament, a name now role as our nation's democratic parliament. but whilst our name may have formally changed today, our priority remains the same as it has done all over the past weeks — responding to the coronavirus crisis. now more than ever, our citizens expect a strong national parliament working in the interests of the people of wales. after 21 years of devolution, the national assembly of wales is now known as senedd cymru — or the welsh parliament. assembly members now members of the senedd — or ms‘. but as in other parliaments, the pandemic dominates question time. it is clear that the virus is having the greatest impact on those with the fewest resources. it will deepen the inequalities already entrenched by a decade of austerity. and this impact may be more intense in wales, due to the age profile of our population and the higher level of deprivation in some of our communities. the first minister was questioned over plans to extend testing in care homes. last week you told us there was no clini

unsurprisingly, that was raised during a virtual session of the welsh parliament. on saturday that going for a walk and having a picnic can not be considered to be exercise and is not intended to be a reasonable excuse. you changed the guidance on monday. many people will think that that might be because of the fact that the health minister was photographed sitting on a park bench, having a picnic with his family over the weekend. now, it looks to the public that it's one rule for the health minister and another rule for them. so don't you agree with me that vaughan gething has had his chips? and when are you going to remove him from the park bench and put him on the subs bench, where he belongs? well, i've already said i'm not going to be drawn into that sort of distasteful personal attack on anybody. a brief stop to allow a child to eat is not a picnic in anybody's language. the first minister said the decision to change the rules was taken on the previous thursday. later, vaughan gething himself was challenged over the welsh government's plans for a new test, tr

minister's questions at westminster and first ministers‘ questions in both the scottish and welsh parliamentsi'm sure yesterday felt more like winterfor some. take sennybridge in wales for example, with a temperature to start the day at —4.7. it was the coldest may night for 25 years in wales. further north, the wintery fun didn't stop there because in shetland we had some snow falling, and down south, relatively, in orkney, we had a bit of snow covering the grassy surfaces as well with that colder air arriving behind this cold front. now, as we go through the next few hours, that is pushing southwards. it's weakening all the while, but it's still going to be enough just enough to knock down the temperatures a few degrees across eastern parts of england. so it is going to feel a little bit cooler as we head into wednesday. as i say, though, the front itself is going to disintegrate, so any rain will tend to die away over the next few hours. and in many ways, it's a reversal of fortunes compared with last night. england and wales, quite a lot of places frost—free. scotland, a sharp frost devel

in the welsh parliament, the plaid cymru leader renewed calls for an inquiry into the handling of thee it could take up to six months. and he wanted it to start work before the end of the year. could you make some general commitments today to the principle of setting up an independent public inquiry in due course to ensure that in the meantime all relevant documentation, minutes, e—mails, even zoom recordings first minister are being safely kept? no doubt that an independent inquiry will be required at the right point in the process. and the documents that are kept by the welsh government are kept meticulously, and i'm sure that they will be available for that inquiry when the time for it comes. the first minister has offered a so—called road map out of lockdown but with no dates attached. and crucially, it offered no real leadership to the people of wales. first minister, is this road map the best hope that the welsh government can actually offer the people of wales and when can we expect to see some timescales alongside your exit strategy? i completely reject the member's suggestion

restrictions he really only has jurisdiction of england the other administrations the welsh assembly the scottish parliament they set their own rules as far as stay at home rules we've heard nicholas judge and for example the scottish 1st minister already saying that while she will go along with relaxation on for example the amount of exercise people can take the welsh assembly leader already said back on friday that they want to restrict she will be lifted and people can take as much exercise as they want so long as they abide by social distancing scotland has now agreed that they will go along with that but they're not dropping the slogan of stay at home because nicolas. welsh is well i'm not an island hastens to add all believe that stay at home remains the best slogan the best message to send out to the public and they're not exactly happy that here in london the prime minister boris johnson has chosen to divert from that slogan paula no we're going to be checking in with you. and speaks but for now paul brennan in london thank you very much. well turkey says attacks on libya's only functioning airport
