With millions of people continuing to work in essential services, well see how britains Electricity Companies are keeping the lights on. Just by opening a window, how we can all enjoy a slice of nature during lockdown without even leaving home. And revving up to help, the bikers from cornwall whove been helping Vulnerable People by delivering essential shopping and medication. And in sport tottenham insist they wont sell captain harry kane to a domestic rival amid reported interest from manchester united. Good afternoon. As the uk enters its fourth week in lockdown, the government is reviewing the measures imposed to try to curb the spread of coronavirus. It comes as one of the European Countries worst hit by the pandemic, spain, relaxes some of the restrictions it announced last month. But with the number of hospital deaths in the uk now standing at more than 10,000, restrictions here are likely to remain in place for some time yet. As the Prime Minister recuperates at his official country residence, theres growing pressure on the government to at least come up with a strategy for exiting the lockdown period. All this as the armed forces are brought in to support Ambulance Services in england and wales. 0ur correspondent katharine da costa reports. Its three weeks today since the uk brought in unprecedented restrictions, affecting all areas of our daily lives. With empty roads and motorways over easter, it seems the majority of people are following the guidelines are now preparing for a fourth week of lockdown. It comes as the Prime Minister continues his recovery from the virus at his country residence at chequers in buckinghamshire. Full of praise for nhs staff at saint thomass in london. In particular, two nurses, jenny from new zealand and luis from portugal, who stayed by his bedside for 48 hours. The reason that my body did start to get enough oxygen was because for every second of the night, they were watching. And they were thinking and they were caring and making the interventions i needed. Her parents saying they were exceptionally proud. She has told us these things over the years. It doesnt matter what patient she is looking after, this is what she does and ifind it incredible. For otherfamilies, its a different story. The virus has claimed the lives of more than 10,000 people in the uk. Wendys dad, 77 year old barry parker, has been on a ventilator with covid i9 for a fortnight. She and her family have been told to expect the worst. I cant express how good they are, how compassionate they are, the doctors. They are all so kind. As i said, we cant be there to hold his hand, so they are doing that for us. The governments priority has been to protect capacity within the nhs. The armed forces have already been deployed to help deliver ppe to the front line, setting up nhs nightingale field hospitals and now they will be used to support ambulance crews, driving ambulances and moving patients. We are being warned to get used to this new normal. The World Health Organization says all of us should consider Wearing Masks when leaving home. We might not be able to ensure that everyone can access the good masks, the n95, but some sort of face protection should become the norm, not least to give people reassurance but i would say dont imagine you can do what you like when you are wearing a mask. There are early signs of social distancing measures working. New infections and hospital admissions are starting to stabilise in some areas but the Welsh Government has already said the lockdown there will remain for several more weeks and scotland is going to do the same. There are early optimistic signs that the steps we are taking are working, but until we know more, until we have solid evidence, we must stick with it. But elsewhere in europe, there is some hope. Spain, one of the worst affected countries, is lifting some of its restrictions from today. Manufacturing and construction workers can start to start to return to work under strict guidelines, breathing new life back into parts of its economy. Katharine da costa, bbc news. And our Political Correspondent helen cattjoins me here. As other governments look to lift those restrictions, what is the government going to be assessing before it makes the decision to do the same . We should start by saying that it the same . We should start by saying thatitis the same . We should start by saying that it is very unlikely we will see restrictions lifted this week. We know that the governments Scientific Advisory group cold sage is going to look at the data to see what the social distancing measures are doing, but then by thursday, they have to decide what to do. It is up to the national governments, scottish and Welsh Governments. Downing street said they met last week at a special Cobra Committee meeting and said they would move forward in terms of the review process forward in terms of the review process they met last night. You heard Nicola Sturgeon say that it would be unlikely we would see restrictions lifted this week so we can extrapolate it is unlikely to be elsewhere either. Boris johnson is at chequers recuperating, at what point do we think he will be back in charge . That will be entirely dependent on the medical advice he was given, we have a bit more on that. We know that he tested negative for coronavirus before he left hospital, downing street says thatis left hospital, downing street says that is Standard Practice to test before people leave hospital and he tested negative. He has spoken to dominic raab the first secretary of state over the weekend and dominic raab continues to deputise for him. Borisjohnson is raab continues to deputise for him. Boris johnson is not raab continues to deputise for him. Borisjohnson is not continuing to go back to work, he is not getting papers in his red box, since he has beenin papers in his red box, since he has been in hospital, he has not spoken to the queen since his last meeting, how long that goes on for, we will just have to see. In europe, spain and italy are taking the first tentative steps in easing restrictions but the Italian Government has told the bbc some businesses will not be allowed to fully reopen until a vaccine is found. Restaurants and bars face the most uncertainty and many have already gone out of business since the lockdown began five weeks ago. Jean mackenzie is in rome. This was supposed to be the final day of the lockdown here but the government has decided to extend it for another three weeks. Tomorrow, a very small and select number of shapes being able to reopen, shops selling books and baby clothes but other than that restrictions are staying in place. Disappointing news for businesses, factories in particular which were putting a lot of pressure on the government to allow them to restart. And without a clear end date to all this, some Small Businesses have told me that they have got no choice but to close for good. The tables still set for meals that were never served. Chiara built this place for the people of rome to meet, eat, and play music. Crowd sings. But its been five weeks since every restaurant in italy was shut down and, as the lockdown drags on, she is preparing to close for good. And this is the reality. When shops and businesses are reopened it will be gradual and the places where you cant keep your distance will be last. We cant have a concert, we cant have a cinema. What about bars and restaurants . Now it is impossible to imagine that the restaurants can reopen. Until the discovery of a vaccine, its impossible to imagine that you can return to a normal life. In the meantime, the government is offering loans to keep them going. But these businesses are struggling to see their place in a socially distant future and fear that by the time theyre allowed to reopen the damage done will be so great it will be irreversible. This barge bar now resembles a ghost ship. Another business on the edge. How busy does it get . Its good, the last year. Now nothing. And while this country waits to be reopened, its streets are silently being redrawn. The places which give it so much of its soul most at risk. Jean mackenzie, bbc news. In the uk, support packages worth tens of billions of pounds have been announced by the government to try and ease the economic damage of the pandemic. The treasury says those who dont qualify will be able to access a range of other measures but many businesses and workers whove lost their jobs say theyve not received enough support. Katy austin has been speaking to some of them. Asking for help to ride out the pandemic. The governments Emergency Support schemes include enabling millions of employees to be furloughed, kept on while the state pays a proportion of wages, grants for some businesses in england, loans and financing schemes for small and large companies, grants for millions of self employed people, and a range of other measures. But many firms and workers tell us they fall through the cracks. Including junior, previously self employed, he started a newjob in mid march but has since been made redundant. He started too late to be furloughed. Weve been trying to make phone calls, to universal credit. My wife is still on statutory maternity leave. I now have no salary, and obviously, this isnt the best time to be looking for a job right now. Chimney sweep jonathan is sole director of his own limited company. Not eligible for the self employed package, he hoped the local Authority Grant scheme would apply. It doesnt because i dont have premises. The payroll scheme applies but in an incredibly limited way. I might be able to limp on for a little bit, or, if i dont take it, if i dont furlough myself, the business will, you know, is still likely to fail. This tiny bristol event caterer is in the same position. I do face the reality that i may not be able to keep my business going. I would like to see the net being widened by local authorities, to include businesses that are based in mixed use buildings. The Business Interruption loan scheme has been revamped following criticism. But womens tech company elvie, hit by supply issues in asia and now low sales, says three banks have turned it down because its not yet profitable. At the moment, were all facing a significant liquidity crisis. Entrepreneurs cannot innovate their way out of this alone. We need support from the government. Otherwise we need to be looking at really changing all our plans and making significant cuts. Make no mistake, the support packages from the government are huge, unprecedented and complex. An attempt to help as many firms as possible survive and protect millions of peoples incomes. But the list of those who say they still cannot access any or enough support is much longer than we have been able to mention here. And those who can say the crucial thing now is that money gets to them quickly enough. The crisis will inevitably damage businesses and livelihoods. One of the many unknowns is how much of that can be prevented. Katy austin, bbc news. Talking about easing restrictions when hundreds of people are dying every day from coronavirus in the uk may seem premature but the effect of restrictions on the economy, peoples livelihood and Mental Health can be devastating. Judging when and how to lift restrictions is no easy task for any government but some of the countries in asia where covid i9 first spread more than three months ago are already taking action. Lets hear from our correspondents in four locations in the region. First to Stephen Mcdonnell in china, the country where the virus was first detected. Chinas most Strict Lockdown has been in hubei province. However, in most of the country, staying indoors has simply been a suggestion, which people have followed. Now its a cautious road to normality. You need to pass green phone app Health Clearance to buy train tickets. Neighbourhoods, apartment blocks are still only admitting residents. Restaurants are capping diner numbers, you cant sit too close to others. China is returning to work, while guarding against a new wave of infections from citizens returning from overseas. Here in south korea, there has been no lockdown, no mandatory restrictions, despite over 10,000 people becoming infected. Instead, the government urged common sense. Stay apart where possible, work from home, and avoid mass gatherings. And instead of controlling the movement of the population, it has aggressively traced and tested for the virus. Silent streets and empty offices. Here in singapore, a partial lockdown has kicked in over the last few days, because of a second wave of infections. We are not meant to leave our homes any more unless its for one of 12 government mandated reasons. Break those rules, and you face fines, orworse, prison time. These measures are in place until the end of the month, but they could be extended if the virus isnt contained. Here injapan, most of us, at least in the biggest cities, are now living under a state of emergency. So what does that mean . It means the government is asking people to stay at home at the weekends and in the evenings. And as you can see, most people are now complying with that. But this is not a lockdown. 0ffices remain open, so do pubs and restaurants until 8pm in the evening. You can even go and get a haircut if you want to. The japanese government appears determined to keep the economy going, come what may. And japan is also not carrying out widespread testing. Instead, the government is hoping the limited measures will start to bend the curve of the epidemic downwards in the next two weeks or so. Will it work . We are going to have to wait and see. As you have seen from my colleagues around the region, governments here in asia are using very different strategies to combat the covid 19 pandemic. But one thing is very striking. Compared to america and europe, the number of people dying in asia from the coronavirus appears to be much, much lower. Theres lots of speculation as to why that might be. Is it because people in asia wear face masks much more . The truth is, right now, we simply dont know. Rupert Wingfield Hayes in tokyo ending that round up from asia. Doctors are having to make difficult decisions about whether to continue Cancer Treatment for some patients due to the coronavirus pandemic. Chemotherapy weakens the immune system potentially putting some people more at risk of covid 19. The clinical lead for cancer care in england admits there is a huge pressure on resources but says the nhs is finding new ways of delivering care. It comes as new cancer hubs involving public and private hospitals have been launched to carry out urgent surgery. Our Health Correspondent lauren moss reports. Battling coronavirus is the biggest challenge the Health Service has ever faced. And while cases of covid 19 climb, routine care for many Cancer Patients has been affected. Roisin has incurable breast cancer. But her chemotherapy has now been suspended for three months because it puts her more at risk from the virus. Its terrifying, and then the fact that theyve stopped the treatment that i know is whats keeping me alive, theres no doubt about that. To have that taken away from you is just, its unbearable. How do we know its only going to be 12 weeks . But for dan, treatment is continuing in an unusual way. He has a tumour in his stomach and his chemo pills are being sent through the post. You have one in the morning, one at night, very simple. So i dont have to brave it in the outside world. Balancing the risk of continuing treatment or delaying it is a tough choice facing oncologists. I think it is difficult for the patients. Especially those patients who have been well on treatment up to now. Nobody knows how. Whether we can continue to deliver treatments over this week, next week. The advice from nhs england is that essential treatment should continue, whenever possible. A cancer hub involving public and private hospitals has been set up in london, matching patients with surgeons to carry out urgent procedures away from those with covid 19. That is our set goal, is to continue to offer urgent cancer surgery throughout this pandemic. And if we continue to operate in this way, keeping the hospital as a priority for cancer, then we should be able to achieve that. Louise is one of the first to be operated on. She was having chemotherapy for breast cancer, but because of the coronavirus, doctors decided that in her case, surgery was safer. Oh, i was relieved. Because we were literallyjust waiting by the phone every day, hoping that someone would call to say that they could fit me in anywhere. Just having something moving forward was. Was important to me. For louise, dan and roisin, life is now on hold. They are among the most vulnerable and will spend months shielding at home to protect themselves. And while the nhs find new ways of working to deliver care, there is concern that others who may need support arent seeking it. Obviously, the coronavirus epidemic is putting huge pressure on nhs resources. Weve certainly seen the numbers of referrals for suspected cancer for investigation go down quite sharply in the last few weeks. So if people are worried about themselves, they should still come forward. As the coronavirus pandemic tightens its grip on the uk, difficult decisions will continue to be made by doctors trying to make sure that no one slips through the cracks. Lauren moss, bbc news. By simply opening your window an hour before sunrise, we can all enjoy a slice of nature without even leaving the house. The dawn chorus is a fantastic way to learn about the Great Outdoors and, as john maguire has been finding out, Technology Allows us to to keep a close eye on the wildlife that surrounds us. Birdsong. On a normal day, naturalist ed drewett would never dream of trying to record birdsong in his front garden, next to a busy road in the forest of dean. But these arent ordinary days. As the noise we make declines, the volume of the Natural World seems to have reached 11. I think compared to three weeks ago, now, because weve got quieter roads, we have quieter neighbourhoods, one thing that we are doing now is perhaps noticing much more about whats going on around us with nature. So, at the moment, normally, here, there would be lots of lorries going past, cars going past. And yet, instead, all i can hear are blackbirds and robins singing. Whether youre in the middle of an urban area or in the countryside, there is still plenty to see and hear. The dawn chorus, at the moment, is around 6 45 6 in the morning. Is around 5 45 6 in the morning. So its the perfect time to be listening for all the birds singing at the same time. Yes, this is a really exciting time of the year. This is a busy time of year for Mark Glanville as he prepares for the return of swifts to the uk at the end of this month. Tucked under the eaves of his house in bristol, marks home made swift boxes are rigged with tiny cameras, so that he can watch and share online images of them nesting. So anybody out there who is stuck in because of this lockdown, here is an ideal opportunity to do Something Like this and get close up to nature in their very own house. The internet is full of such nest cams. A big brotherfor birders and, also, a way for people who are isolating or locked down to connect with nature. If you are going out on your daily exercise, set yourself a challenge. There is lots of birdsong on the internet. Try to listen to one and try to identify it and set yourself a goal each day to identify a new bird call every day. Im doing that. Every morning, when we go out for a walk, he says, whats that bird . And i get it wrong quite often. Butim trying. But im trying. Im getting there gradually. Less traffic and more time on our hands means the chance to look around like never before, no matter where you are. So, if youve got time and you can look out the window, when swifts come back, try and find out where theyre nesting. Look underneath roof tiles, even in flats. There are little nooks and crannies that swifts are in. And its lovely watching them go back to their nest. Few of us will look back on this time with any fondness. But there are some opportunities to learn, to discover, and to make new friends. John maguire, bbc news, bristol. Millions of people are continuing to work in essential services during the lockdown to make sure the country keeps running. 0ur chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, has been to Sizewell B Nuclear power station in suffolk, to see how britains Electricity Companies are keeping the lights on. The routine checks chemist rochelle grimmer is making help ensure Sizewell B Nuclear power station continues to run smoothly. It provides electricity to more than two million british homes. Day to day tasks are a bit more laborious, says rochelle. So, obviously, washing hands multiple times a day is a big one. We work a lot with gloves, um, in our chemistry section, so changing those frequently. And, obviously, complying with our social distancing, at all times. Here on the suffolk coast, sizewell says it started putting in place its pandemic plan over two months ago, before the first coronavirus cases were even reported in the uk. Reported in the uk. We have effectively got half of the normal staff complement here at the moment. We have split them into two teams. One is sat operating the power plant, today, as we are here today, the other is at home, safe and isolated. And in the eventuality we did see some sickness on site, the other team would be ready to come in and maintain operation. The Nuclear Reactor is below this dome. The overriding priority is to make sure nothing goes wrong in there. So what happens, just if, theres an issue with International Shipping and the power station cant get supplies . The early stages of our plan, which we enacted two months ago, is to build up our commodities and spare stock levels. So we are ready for this. We dont need to refuel this power station until 2021. So dont worry, your electricity dependent lockdown lifestyle isnt at threat any time soon. Justin rowlatt, bbc news, suffolk. Saudi arabia and russia have ended their Oil Price War in a historic deal, brokered after a weekend of intensive video calls between the Worlds Biggest Oil producers. The deal, made by the group known as 0pec plus, will cut Global Production of oil at unprecedented levels. It was helped along by president trump, one of many leaders desperate to stabilise the Global Economy during the coronavirus pandemic. Freya cole reports. Planes are grounded, major highways are quiet, and streets around the world are deserted. Global demand for oil during the coronavirus pandemic has plummeted. Its flooded the market with excess oil, which has only been exacerbated by a price war between russia and saudi arabia. But after a week of intensive video talks between the worlds Top Oil Producers and their allies, a deal has been brokered to cut global crude production. Its the largest cut by 0pec in supply ever. It signals this kind of 0pec plus cooperation, particularly saudi arabia and russia. Their Oil Price War is over and their cooperation will continue. It was unique because the g20 was a part of it and cooperated in trying to figure out how to bring it together, so you had notjust 0pec, but the largest economies in the world. From the beginning of next month, the global oil cartel, 0pec plus, will cut 9. 7 Million Barrels a day. Thats about 10 of the current global output of oil. The big producers hope this will stabilise the industry and stop prices from plummeting even further. Basically, stem the bleeding. They want to keep the oil price where it is, and prevent it from going further down, and oil prices should come down, and gasoline prices should come down, and we should see some tangible difference at the pump. But right now, no matter how cheap the oil price is, its not going to matter if you are not going out that much. Us President Donald Trump has been a major diplomatic player, confirming the historic agreement on twitter. He said. The big oil deal with 0pec plus is done. This will save hundreds of thousands of energyjobs in the united states. I would like to thank and congratulate president putin of and congratulate president putin of russia and king salmon of saudi arabia. Ijust russia and king salmon of saudi arabia. I just spoke to them from the oval office. Great deal for all. Mr trump also convinced mexico, a country which refused to agree with its 0pec member states. But countries which are not included in the oil cartel, like the us, brazil and canada, are also expected to slash production, because the oil crash of 2020 is a global problem, and one where there is currently no end in sight. Freya cole, bbc news. Bikers from bodmin in cornwall, have banded together to help Vulnerable People by delivering essential shopping and medication to those who cant make it to the shops. The idea started with just one man and his motorbike, but as demand grew so did the number of willing volunteers. Patrick clahane has more. Travelling on cornwalls now empty roads, these bikers are on a mission. Engine revs loudly. Im guy, i work in the Emergency Services and iformed bodmin bikers. Bodmin bikers is a Delivery Team for medication from doctors surgeries to pharmacies. Were also a food delivery, so if you need your essentials, bread, milk. Do you know what . We havent had any pasty deliveries yet. The group dont charge for delivery and were set up to help Vulnerable People stuck at home, unable to get essentials. Weve been trying to self isolate as much as possible and go out as little as possible, and sarah, my partner, she suffers quite badly with asthma, as well. So, as a family, we havejust, yes, tried to keep ourselves to ourselves as much as possible and these gentlemen make it so much easier. Just goes to show that in this community and, well, in cornwall in general, people do help each other as much as they can and do what they can for one another. Since starting just a couple of weeks ago, 18 people have now volunteered, including a chef, plumber, and supermarket worker. Im brandon, aka spider man, part of bodmin bikers. People see us riding around, they wave at us and it was really nice to go out, make people happy, make them laugh and ijust thought, you know, give people a bit of happiness while we are in this pandemic at the moment. The gang are a mix of ages, including one who has onlyjust got his bike licence. Im dan, im 16, and im from the bodmin bikers. I think at this point ive probably done everything medication, food, essentials. Even though they didnt know each other until recently, it seems theyll be riding together long after the lockdown. After this is all over, i think we are going to go out on a ride out. I think we are one big family and we will stick together, definitely. Patrick clahane, bbc news, bodmin. One of the worlds best known opera singers, the italian tenor, andrea bocelli, has performed a live concert alone in the famous duomo cathedral in milan, the centre of the Italian Region thats been worst hit by the pandemic. His music for hope concert was streamed live worldwide and featured four hymns. Reged ahmad reports. Ave maria
