If you look at the First Quarter of the year, between january and march, the economy shrank by 2 , the worst quarter since the financial crisis of 2008 andi since the financial crisis of 2008 and i cannot stress this enough, just including one week at the end of march when the economy was in lockdown. Today is the day we get the figure for april, a whole month of lockdown and the figure is expected to be much worse. Many businesses, of course, and a figure will not be a surprise to them as they struggled to do what they do, just to operate. Many businesses are forced to close entirely. I went to meet a food manufacturer and the co founder told me it was difficult just to get anywhere back to something resembling normal. They have had to make lots of changes and even now they are not able to have clarity. This is out finished goods freezer, packed for the supermarkets. Ready to be fog lifted into the truck for delivery. Fog lived. Overnight, the third week of march, we heard about the shutdown and our staff could not come to work. We did not get any orders in april. Maybe 25 of what we expected. How did you adapt to this new normal . Suddenly you had to get around it . It has been quite hard to navigate it. The prices for pp have gone up navigate it. The prices for pp have gone up as navigate it. The prices for pp have gone up as well. That was a huge change in cost and getting the visors. And then a lot of money on sanitising equipment. Eight extra hygienists were hired. Sanitising equipment. Eight extra hygienists were hiredlj sanitising equipment. Eight extra hygienists were hired. I get money for new health and safety but also changing the way you run your machinery costs money. We have just started cranking up production again. It is getting used to the new working method. We have had to halve the numberof working method. We have had to halve the number of people on the production floor which has an impact on margins. Production down by 50 but we have to pay for the same amount of hours and using the same material but with half the output and that has really affected us financially. Half of your businesses is supplying a restaurant and it is not entirely clear where that restau ra nt not entirely clear where that restaurant will be able to open because of social distancing rule. What are they telling you . We do not think that maybe 25 of restaurant will exist after covid 19. We have seen will exist after covid 19. We have seen demand for products in supermarkets increase so we will focus on servicing the supermarkets for the foreseeable future until re sta u ra nt for the foreseeable future until restaurant open. That isjust one snapshot of a business trying to cope. The gdp numbers coming out at seven oclock. Ben will take us through those. A50 families who lost a relative to coronavirus are demanding an immediate Public Inquiry into how the government managed parts of the pandemic. Ministers insist the priority right now is responding to the crisis. Michael buchanan has been to meet the family of tony brown, who died in march. Tony brown became ill in march, the 65 year old father of two took advice from the nhs one 11 service who told him to treat these High Pressure with paracetamol. His condition fluctuated but one morning he woke up with chest pains stop he had a cardiac arrest and died shortly afterwards. He tested positive for coronavirus shortly after his death. When is a good time to go to hospital . It was not clear. No one knew it. Everyone was trying to wait it out. And if you wait too long, it could kill you. The covid i9 breed families say an immediate public enquiry will prevent more deaths of decisions on everything from easing the lockdown toa everything from easing the lockdown to a possible second spike will effect the group. One of the real problems is government has lost the trust of the public and what that means is people are not following the lockdown rules even if they understand them and what that means is more transmission and more deaths that can be avoided. The families highlight the review following the Hillsborough Disaster is an example of what can be done. It prompted immediate improvement of safety at all rows and broader questions a nswered all rows and broader questions answered later. They argue the pandemic and a similar response would prevent a similar mistake. Michael buchanan, bbc news. In a statement, the government said at some point in the future there will be an opportunity for us to look back, reflect and learn some profound lessons. But at the moment, the most important thing to do is to focus on responding to the current situation. A further 151 coronavirus deaths were recorded across all uk settings yesterday. The total number of people known to have died in hospitals, care homes and the Wider Community now stands at 41,279. Northern ireland will become the first of the uk nations to re open high Street Stores and Shopping Centres as coronavirus restrictions start to ease today. The number of people from different households allowed to meet outdoors will also increase from six to ten. In england non essential shops can re open on monday. So far no dates been set for scotland or wales. Plans for rigorous border checks after brexit are expected to be relaxed as part of measures to help businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The uk had committed to introduce import controls on eu goods at the end of the transition period in january. We can speak now to our Political Correspondent nick eardley. It feels like Brexit Issues have been slightly off the headlights but this is important. It really is. Pa rt this is important. It really is. Part of the worry in government is the Economic Impact of coronavirus on businesses has been so huge, if you add into the mix some uncertainty over what might happen at the border after brexit, it could prove to be. What the government is going to announce properly today is that it will relax rules on goods coming into the uk so basically there would be a few checks in the border but nothing rigourous, not the full checks you would normally expect when stuff comes in from a foreign country. Obviously at the moment, we are still abiding by the rules of the Single Market because of the transition period which lasts until the end of the year by the expectation was to have a change at the end of the year but not now. The government wants to take a pragmatic approach to this and make sure businesses have has much flexibility as they can. It is not a magic bullet though because the uk wants to control what is happening into products going into europe so x was arriving in france, they could be still be those checks. Exports. Comments about priti patel, the home secretary, and that was a response toa secretary, and that was a response to a letter written by some labour mps criticising her for her response to the black lives matter protest and she said now, i will not be silenced. Just explain the sequence of events. The home secretary was in the house of commons area talking about some of the protests we have seenin about some of the protests we have seen in the last few days in the uk and there was some criticism from labour that the government was not taking this seriously enough or perhaps did not understand it. The home secretary does not agree with that, she says that, look at the experiences i have had, telling of some of the racism she experienced when she was young. Labour mps are slightly frustrated that they think she is using this to deflect from some of the issues they are talking about. They use the term gas lighting, making them doubt their experiences. There is an increasingly acrimonious rout. The home secretary saying she has had experiences as well and labour mp saying you have had your experiences but there are many other things and it does not deflect from some of the criticism we have. Both sides seem to think they are in the right and no one seems to be budging. To think they are in the right and noone seems to be budging. Thank you very much. Barriers have been put up around a number of monuments in london, including the cenotaph and statue of Winston Churchill, to try and protect them ahead of further planned anti racism protests this weekend. Meanwhile, 24 hour security has been placed on a statue of scouts Founder Robert baden powell in dorset until it can be safely taken down. Nick beake reports. A show of strength for the first chief scout, in poole, admirers of Robert Baden Powell stop the temporary removal of a statue from quayside. When antiracist campaigners put it on a target list, the council had wanted to take away, fearing it would be attacked. I think whether Baden Powells beliefs were in the past, he has also done a lot of good and we cannot obliterate history. It is really important we learn from mistakes of the past. By pulling down history, by destroying our history, no one can learn from that. That is a sentiment shared by one government minister. You cannot escape history and i think it would be fundamentally dishonest of us to, through removing statues and airbrushing out history, to then pretend that all was well. Totalitarian regimes do that. The statue of slave trader Edward Colston is expected to end up in a museum, after it was retrieved from bristol docks, where it had been dumped by protesters on the weekend but in a city where his name has loomed large for so long, times are changing, and campaigners say more controversial symbols also need to disappear from public view across the uk. Im totally for a lot of the other statues in this country being removed and perhaps re contextualised in museums or somewhere where we actually understand what role they played in society, in a wider sense. The city of edinburgh is now proposing to dedicate the henry dundas monument to those enslaved, because of his actions. A new sign would explain that the 18th century politician helped delay the abolition of slavery by 15 years. At westminster, where churchills statue was defaced in recent protests, new barriers have been brought in, as debate rages over britains past, present and future. Nick beake, bbc news. Well be speaking to conservative mp for bournemouth east, tobias ellwood, and the deputy leader of the council in poole, just after 8 30am this morning. President donald trump has said he will spend more money on Training Police forces across the country, his first policy proposal following a wave of anti racism protests. It comes after a top military general apologised for taking part in a controversial walk and photoshoot at a church with the president while demonstrations took place nearby. Lets speak now to our correspondent david willis in los angeles. David, good to see you. Lots to talk about, first this general making this apology but also different training methods and rules now when it comes to restraint for Police Forces . It comes to restraint for Police Forces . Absolutely, and President Trump making clear today, naga, that hes about to defend the police. He said, true, there were some bad apples but that shouldnt lead to people calling tens of millions of good americans, as he put it, racists and bigots. He said if anything more money was needed for police training, not less. He said it would be an extreme measure to defund the police, as some here have called for. Meanwhile, general mark millie, americas top military officer, said today it was a mistake, as he put it, for him to ta ke mistake, as he put it, for him to take part in that walk from the white house to a burned out church last week. He said the sight of him in military fatigues had sent the wrong message, as he put it, and he said it was clear to him now the American Military had no part to play, as he put it, in domestic politics here. David, thanks very much. David willis there. One of the most famous episodes of the 19705 sitcom Fawlty Towers has been removed from a streaming service because it contains racial slurs. Uktv, which is owned by the bbc, said it had temporarily removed the germans episode while it carries out a review. The episode featured hotel owner basil fawlty, played by john cleese, shouting dont mention the war in front of a group of German Tourists with another character using offensive, racist language. It is 6 16am. It is friday morning. Lets take a look at todays papers. The guardians front page highlights the growing debate over statues of historical figures linked to racism and slavery. Theres also a photo of the grime artist, stormzy, who has pledged to give £10 million to black british causes. The times reports on plans byjustice secretary Robert Buckland and home secretary priti patel, that could see protesters face a fast tracked prosecution within 2a hours if they cause vandalism, criminal damage or Assault Police officers. The daily express reports that the 2m social distancing rule must stay to save lives. It says experts have warned that reducing it to 1m could risk a rise in new infections. The Yorkshire Post looks at the easing of lockdown restrictions in a different way. It quotes the chairman of the Yorkshire Dales national park, who wants to reintroduce the countryside code to educate the influx of first time visitors on how to stay safe outside.

Should i say i respect them . Yes. Lets pick up on another story. Working the hours we do, and we are not unique, lots of people work through the night or whatever, people say not to eat a meal late. You cannot eat a big meal late but you can snack late theres new evidence a late dinner might reduce the amount of that someone burns off overnight. To eat their evening meal either at 6pm or much later, 10pm, and after eating late people burned around 10 less fat the researchers found. They have been asking people to eat really late. How does that Research Work . But people are fixed in their ways and a lot of people say eating at a certain time in the evening, makes you feel better, eat late, and you cant sleep. People dont like going to bed full and uncomfortable. Except Christmas Day. But youre not meant to say that |j spent but youre not meant to say that spent about three days after Christmas Day halfway through the year Great Barrier reef, great concern about the destruction of the coral reef and how you could save it. If you looked into yourfridge, a typicalfridge, it. If you looked into yourfridge, a typical fridge, and it. If you looked into yourfridge, a typicalfridge, and picked something out that you think could help the Great Barrier reef, what would it be . Yoghurt. Have using the story . I have. You told me you hadnt have you seen the story. Probiotic bacteria, the coral was given it in a laboratory and those that were were better at coping with stress is like rising water temperature, which makes the corals bleach. Microorganisms like is like feeding them probiotic bacteria. They liked it dont go throwing the yoghurt over the corals, it doesnt work like that is that your advice dont throw yoghurt over the Great Barrier reef like your advice with the guinea pigs and respecting them. Useful information on a friday morning. The story we are focusing on on brea kfast the story we are focusing on on breakfast is the economy. In just under an hour, new figures from the first full month of lockdown will give an indication of how the Coronavirus Crisis has impacted the economy. In a bid to reduce some of the damage, the government is allowing non essential retailers in england to reopen from monday. But the plan will only work if people are willing to risk a trip to the shops. Consumer Affairs Correspondent sarah corker reports. Sprucing up the high street for the grand reopening. Ive obviously got posters on the door. After three months with no customers, lauras gift shop is slowly coming back to life. She is now set up to welcome socially distant shoppers on monday. The maximum of two customers at any time, so once and somebody leaves, somebody else enters. A distance from the till section and then out the door. For the pandemic hit, almost 25 of shops here in Bishop Auckland were empty before. Laura and her mum carol know there are tough times ahead. We want everybody really to shop locally. There is pa rt really to shop locally. There is part of me that does believe some peoples Shopping Habits will have changed forever, but i believe theres lots of local people that will support their high streets. Just have to go for it. Im getting upset what is getting you upset . The fact we could possibly not be here this time next year. We will. Weve worked hard for what weve got. We have worked so hard, havent we . Its just the two of us. Lockdown is costing us retailers and estimated 1. 8 billion pounds a week in lost sales, but will customers feel safe enough to return . Will you be going in those shops . Not on monday, not at all. It will be too busy. I dont going shopping at the moment. I will feel safe, no problem. Keep your distance and if anyone coughs, run it was a struggle before this happened. Some are questioning whether reopening will be financially viable. Imagine if youre putting up perspex screens, signage, extra staff at a time when throughput will be lower, some people will be too nervous to return these are things that are going to increase the cost of doing business at the worst possible time. Only two customers will be allowed in this shop at anyone time. There will be a queueing system outside and any clothes that are returned by customers will be put out the back in quarantine for 72 hours. For Shopping Centres used to thousands of people coming through the doors everyday, this is social distancing ona everyday, this is social distancing on a massive scale. Here at the metrocentre in gateshead, there using technology to help manage the flow of customers. Weve got flow counters, effectively counting in at doors. Weve got heat mapping, so we know where people are within the centre through our wi fi technology. Weve got 82 shops open here.

They cant reopen, though, until the fourth of july last. They cant reopen, though, until the fourth ofjuly at the earliest. We want to get the cafe open again and we want people to sit down and have our food, so thats the big frustrating thing. Speaking with our staff as well, theyjust wa nt to with our staff as well, theyjust want to get back to work. Theyve had it now with lockdown, theyre ready to come back.

Sarah corker, bbc news in bishops auckland. Interesting to see how retailers are coping. Wrapper storm he has pledged £10 million to. Black men are three times more likely to be arrested than white mayne. Ashley John Baptiste has been hearing some of their experiences white mayne. Theres one thing they all have in common, experiences of racism. Guys, as black men, whats been your experience of racism in the uk . This time last year i was racially profiled by the police when i was coming home from football with a mate of mine, we drove to my house, a couple of officers, six or seven of them, they arrested me on suspicion of arson and i was so confused. I was locked up for 21 hours and didnt have a phone call for the first, like, ten hours and the case went on for five months and thenit the case went on for five months and then it was dropped. The ptsd and trauma that comes with that situation, i still go through it today stop he didnt make a formal complaint in the last financial year, over 1200 black people in england and wales made complaints about the police and according to the home office, black men are three times more likely to get arrested in england and wales compared to white mayne. Adam, from birmingham, first experienced what he calls racism at school. It was a teacher asking you if you speak english, that kind of stuff. It was going to play the cello and having cello lessons and being told that basically your face doesnt fit. Will says racism is a regular occurrence, but was especially impacted in the workplace. I run a successful business now, but before that i was working in the city as a recruitment consultant. One of my managers comes up to me one day because i was really hard working and was like, oh, youre hungry for money just like our nigerian contractors, arent you . Im actually looking with my wife and daughter to completely leave the country. Im looking to move to ghana in west africa, where my parents are from, because i think the problem is so deep rooted in society that you cant escape it. Rics First Encounter of discrimination was as a foster child in bournemouth. When i was seven and i was privately fostered with white parents, they called me the n word behind closed doors. Yeah, it was a crazy period. Do you think things will change as a result of the black lives matter protests . I think people are more aware, more enlightened than before. I think a lot of people are. Im still seeing pockets of society that are refusing to acknowledge its even a thing, its even a problem. While many welcome the current spotlight thats been put on racism, for dayo, its uncertain whether real change will take place. I feel things can definitely change. Will it change . Im not completely sure. Like the guys have said, its literally just like its ingrained into the dna of the uk. AshleyJohn Baptiste, bbc news. Notjust not just issues of notjust issues of race raised, interesting to hear those peoples experiences. You cant hear that im too often at this time of day, can you . 6 29am and three seconds. Extra money for that . Not. Nota. Not a bad start for some, misty and murky in places with sunshine breaking through but for some, wet at the moment. Sunshine over the next few days, increasingly humid and pretty warm when the sun is out but that will all combine and for some, it is going to turn quite nasty at times over the next few days with thunderstorms, gusty winds and even some large hail at times. Theyre not going to thank everyone, certain areas will be more susceptible than others. Let me quickly take you through the next few days, a Thunderstorm Risk today mainly in South West England and wales and tomorrow that drifts north in much of wales, north west england and parts of the midlands and then by sunday, some of the nastiest thunderstorms will be into ireland as well. As i said, even in these areas, some will miss out but keep a close eye on it into the weekend. Its all because we have a big area of low pressure swelling around the bay of biscay, almost like a catherine wheeled of cloud, catherine wheeled of cloud, catherine wheel. Cloud further north has produced heavy rain over the past 21 hours, especially the north west, more rain in the past 21 hours than the whole of spring and more to come at times in Northern England, southern and Northern Ireland this morning. To the north of it, brightness for the north and west of scotland and misty and foggy in Central England and wales and the rain into the afternoon will spread north into southern england, south midlands and south wales. That will become quite intense at times. Torrential for one become quite intense at times. Torrentialfor one or become quite intense at times. Torrential for one or two, rumbles of thunder but it means the Channel Islands should brighten up with sunshine. Gusty winds coming from the east. A bit of brightness after the east. A bit of brightness after the murk in the midlands and north wales and the rain not as heavy and persistent in Northern England, southern scotland and Northern Ireland and the best sunshine in the north and west. Here are the driest and brightest box of weather today, sheltered from the north east wind. By sheltered from the north east wind. By the end of the day, rain in eastern scotland with lots of mist and low cloud and in north east england to take us through the night. Rain and thunderstorms further south should gradually ease but rain will return later in the night in north east england and into tomorrow. Temperatures and for most tonight will be double figures and a humid start to tomorrow. Rain in Northern England and southern scotla nd Northern England and southern scotland pushing north, may be the odd rumble of thunder with that but elsewhere, the cloud will break up and the sunshine will come through and the sunshine will come through and into the afternoon, anywhere really across parts of north wales and into north west england is where we could see nasty thunderstorms and temperatures peaking at 22 in the west of scotland.

But now a summary of this mornings main news the full impact of coronavirus on the economy will become clearer this morning when official figures from the first full month of lockdown are published at 7 oclock. Gdp numbers for april are expected to show a record monthly drop in Economic Growth in the uk. In march the economy shrank by 5. 8 , which covered just one week of the lockdown. A group of a50 families who have lost relatives to coronavirus are demanding an immediate Public Inquiry into how the government managed parts of the pandemic. The family of tony brown, who died in march, say there is an urgent need to examine some issues to prevent more deaths. Ministers insist the priority right now is responding to the crisis. Time now 6 33 for our daily appointment with the gp. Dr rachel ward joins us from didcot. A very good morning to you. Good morning, iam a very good morning to you. Good morning, i am very good. We need more than that. Tell us about life in the surgery. I work in 0xfordshire and we do well and i am proud of how we cope with this. We have been through a few stages. We started out in a very busy planning phase where we had to change the whole way we were working in a short amount of time and then we entered the second phase where we were seeing that peak of the virus, seeing that peak of the virus, seeing a lot of patients with covid 19 and making sure our staff was safe and looking after very sick people. We are now in another phase, a little bit of a catch up. We are very busy because a lot of people have been sitting at home patiently waiting for things to be moving again and we are now seeing people who are coming to us with problems they have had for a while and we are also trying to catch up on all our chronic disease management which we have had to put on hold for a few months. Things are very busy even though this time of year is normally quiet relatively but it feels like we are in the middle of winter. There was a focus yesterday on cancer, in connection to what may have been missed. Are people you are there specific areas that have been left because people have been relu cta nt to left because people have been reluctant to come forward . left because people have been reluctant to come forward . I would not say specific. Cancer is obviously one which is concerning because people are putting off coming to see the gp. People are thinking they do not want to burden the service and also people also have concern about coming into the practice and worried about the risk of getting coronavirus by coming. With any symptom you are having, whether it could be cancer related dash which is obviously very important dash at any other symptoms, please get in touch, we have a lot of measures in place to minimise the risk for patients. We are doing a lot to keep people safe they get in touch with your gp. We got the first details of track and trace. I do not want you to get involved in politics but i am curious, are you getting patients coming to you asking if they have coronavirus . Possibly asking, have i got the symptoms, what should i do now . How involved are you as a practice . People have been very good in following the advice that, if they have symptoms, they should really be using the 111 service. At my practice, we have run a coronavirus hub which means that, for our area, coronavirus hub which means that, for ourarea, we coronavirus hub which means that, for our area, we have been seen people who have symptoms and require medical assessment. We are still getting people who were phoning us with query about whether it could be coronavirus but i think the numbers are falling off. How would any individual area, are falling off. How would any individualarea, regional are falling off. How would any individual area, regional or even a town, no if there was a problem, a problem hub, if you like, if there was a resurgence in a particular place. Would you know . Would you know if something was happening on your patch, under your feet . know if something was happening on your patch, under your feet . I think we would get a feel for our numbers increasing but certainly, in our area, we are not seeing enough areas to have an accurate gauge on that. That would very much come from the testing centres and knowing how many positives they are getting. A couple of questions about these new bubbles that people can create. I had a couple of questions and you probably have had a few in the practice. If there are two separate grandparents, both living alone, can they both visit their childrens homes at separate times . This is a tricky time and unfortunately the answer is no. It is clear that two households can form a bubble stop one of those households must have a single adult or households must have a single adult oran households must have a single adult or an adult living with children only, like a single parent but once you have chosen your two households to form the bubble, you cannot switch with other households with any flexibility so i am afraid the a nswer any flexibility so i am afraid the answer is no but bear in mind you still have the option of seeing the other grandparent outside, in your garden, for example, if you are seeking to a maximum of six people from the group so you can still see people outside. Things happening now or imminently, one in relation to Mental Health linked to the loneliness and the actual damage that can do to Peoples Health and another is the economy. We are getting figures this morning connection to how the economy has been hit and that also can have a direct impact in Household Incomes and how people are doing on their health and welfare . Absolutely. This is something which we have been aware. The social impact. At the moment it is very worrying and i think were going to see a huge impact going forward. When the economy is poor it means people lose theirjob and have financial stressors. That has tax even on people being able to afford decent food for them and their families stop they have more stress and all of this impacts your health so sadly, in the coming months, we will see a lot of this impact. As a surgery and as an individual clinician, what can you do by way of helping people prepare for that . think we are quite well set up in some regards that we have in our area for example a lot of local charities that are already on to this and working with vulnerable families and Vulnerable People to ove rco m e families and Vulnerable People to overcome some of the challenges. We have a lot of Mental Health support and Mental Health workers in our area. Ithink and Mental Health workers in our area. I think it is going to be another area that we will have to co nsta ntly another area that we will have to constantly work at an adaptor but we are working a lot in the background at the moment. I know this will be a problem. Thank you very much. It was not too painful . I very much enjoyed it. Not too painful at all. Good, see you again next time. it. Not too painful at all. Good, see you again next time. I think i have a better bedside manner than you. She went away happy, i think. Mike, amateur golfers have been allowed out on the golf course. But we could see some competition and exhibition matches . Actual competition. The top five players involved and even harry kane got involved. I will explain more on that in a moment. After three months away professional golf is back. Rory mcilroy and justin rose were amongst the field, at the pga tour event in texas. And alongside all the measures to keep everyone safe from coronavirus, the players also showed their support for the black lives matter movement. Alex gulrajani reports. Testing, temperature checks and must, a new process for the world best golfers to get back into competitive goal. No crowd also. From Northern Ireland, the number one player in the world, rory mcilroy. For this event, there will also be a moment of reflection each moment. The 8116 teatime a time to pause and support the black lives matter movement. With the top five players in the world present in texas, the gesture will be seen. Rory mcilroy opening his round with a birdie on the third. Justin rose, the 2013 us open champion showed two months off did not upset him. A good sign with three majors and possibly the ryder cup to come later this year. Alex gulrajani, bbc news. And justin rose remains the joint leader at the close of play in texas. Back home, James Anderson says englands cricketers will consider, joining the west indies in an, anti racist gesture, when the test series starts next month. The windies are still deciding, if they will add to the protests that have happened since the death of george floyd in the us. Anderson says its been a thought provoking few weeks for the squad, and theyre talking about what they can do to make a stand.

And there was an, unorthandox world record last night, as athletics found a way back to competition. This is the impossible games, where athletes compete against each other remotely. Some running in kenya, some in norway. No crowds either of course. Norways Karsten Warholm is the man who broke the record in the 300 metre hurdles in oslo. He was only racing against himself, and the clock. No fans as such to celebrate with, well apart from those neighbours with a birds eye view. At least he could maybe connect with them. Watch it all back on bbc sport website. With athletes unable to travel, one frenchman entered the pole vault from his back garden. We will have a look at that at 7 30am. You would need quite a big wouldnt you . I will show you at 7 30 a. M. , he takes his run up between two sheds. You have to get the landing right this had better be good is ita right this had better be good is it a full length poll . Right this had better be good is it a fulllength poll . Yes, competing against an athlete in the stadium in oslo pretty much the same time. Looking forward to that at 7 30 am time. Looking forward to that at 7 30 a. M. i have wet your appetite looking forward to that you will know this and you have experienced this at home. Many of us have taken on extra responsibilities to help others during the pandemic and its thought around 11. 5 Million People across the uk have become unpaid carers as a result of the crisis. Breakfasts john maguire has been speaking to two people who have dedicated their time in quarantine to taking over the care of their loved one for the first time. Recently, roxy has been able to take her sister, julie, for walks in paint held park near her home in surrey. When lock round started, roxy made the Bold Decision to move really in with her and become her full time carer. Knowing what you know now, would you have made the same decision to havejilly move in with you again . Definitely, because my sisters safety comes first and it was those questions, like, can i do this, am i going to be ok, am i going to put my sister at risk by doing this . If you going to be at greater risk . You start asking those questions but it was something i need you to do and i dont regret doing it and need you to do and i dont regret doing itand if need you to do and i dont regret doing it and if it were to happen again, i would definitely do it again. At first, roxy coped alone but it was difficult. She was introduced to mobilise, a carers puss puss support network and learned not only how to look afterjilly but mentally herself. You think youre alone and you put yourself in a corner and you get on with it it affects your Mental Health a lot, so its really important to, you know, reach out and be kind to yourself. And thats been intensified by lockdown, of course . Absolutely, lockdown has been even harder. Again, you cant go out. My sister was on the list, so we did go out for a short walk but having no social interaction with anyone, youre in a world of your own. The last seven years has seen emma roses ms titan its grip on her daily life. Everyone in the family helps out. What are you doing on the house to help mummy and daddy . Walk from the sofa to the stairs to help mum get dressed. We bring the drinks inform and when she needs them. We change the tv and sit around and relax her. Covid has meant her husband stephen has been furloughed from his job covid has meant her husband stephen has been furloughed from hisjob a mixed blessing. Its been tough. Its hard work stop low i actually really like it because i get more help than i would normally do so from that point of view, its amazing. But i guess stephens account is a bit different from mine because obviously hes the one doing the helping. Lockdown has limited some of the support emma rose used to receive, so stephen is now a full time carer a so stephen is now a full time carer a change hes coming to terms with. I still class myself as a husband and a dad rather than a carer. Its been a long time to get round in my head the fact that i am a carer, because we are both relatively quite young if. They are farfrom alone. Relatively quite young if. They are far from alone. Charity carers relatively quite young if. They are farfrom alone. Charity carers uk thinks up to 11. 5 Million People have become an unpaid carers as a result of coronavirus and the lockdown. We have all found lockdown difficult, weve all had our good days and bad days, but when youre caring for somebody, theyre even more afraid of getting the virus, theyre afraid of getting the virus, theyre afraid of letting carers come into the house, theyre afraid of what happens to them if they get the virus as a carer, so its about emotional support and making sure people are well looked after during what is a very frightening time. Covid continues to change so many lives, but the message in this ca re rs lives, but the message in this carers week is not to struggle or suffer in silence but to seek support and to ask for help to ta ke support and to ask for help to take care of the carers. John maguire, bbc news. You know what i always appreciate, this is an insight into lives, and as we said, 11. 5 million first time ca re rs as we said, 11. 5 million first time carers because of the pandemic, you have got roxy and jilly and stephen and emma rose opening up their lives to show what theyre going through. Thank you for that, that would have touched and resonated with lots of people. I hesitate to use statistics in this case, because they are all family stories, but over 4 Million People doing a role that they are willingly doing, theres no attention, they are doing it because it needs doing, more than 4 million have adopted those roles under the current circumstances. It will definitely resonate with many households. It is 6 50am. After being admitted to intensive care with coronavirus, Hugh Mullally feared he would not survive. When saying goodbye to his family he told them about a song they could remember him by. But after nine days in a coma he made a recovery. Now his story is being featured in a special edition of Desert Island discs on radio 4. Well speak to hugh shortly, but first lets listen to the track he chose who knows where the time goes by sandy denny. I have no further time, because who knows where the time goes . Who knows where the time goes . And hughjoins us now from bath. Good morning, thank you for getting up good morning, thank you for getting up tojoin us on breakfast good morning, thank you for getting up to join us on breakfast this morning. Ive got to ask, how are you . Im recovering really well actually. I wasnt lucky to get coronavirus but ive certainly been very lucky. I am walking a lot and discovering bits of bath i didnt know before. Walking at least five kilometres a day. On sunday, i managed 20. I was very tired at the end of it. I also went back to work last week slowly, doing two hours a day. The only thing not going brilliantly is my blood sugar, because i had diabetes before coronavirus, so now im on insulin andi coronavirus, so now im on insulin and i would very much like to get off that, but thats really the only thing thats been bad. Well, youve had a remarkable recovery considering you were nine days on a ventilator, which must have been well, amazingly difficult for your family. When listening to that song, how did you feel listening to that song there . Thats what you left, you only had ten minutes between being told you were going on a ventilator and talking to your family. I did. I still get ventilator and talking to your family. Idid. Istill get quite emotional when i hear it. It is such a beautiful song. Ive loved that song most of my life because im of that era. Sandy denny wrote the song when she was 19 years old, which is incredible if you listen to the words and look at the words. Its a very, very wise song. By nichols who is in herbal convention says he revisits that every ten years and it a lwa ys revisits that every ten years and it always has a different message. Your family would have known its very important to you, how did they react . What were they doing when you we re react . What were they doing when you were in the coma . As you said, i had ten minutes to let them know i was going into the coma and i was lucky because my wife and my daughter were quite close and my daughter was able to run to the hospital and she and her brother had written a number of letters, they didnt know i was going into a coma at that point, but they had done them. She didnt deliver them personally but she gave them to a nurse, and i was able to wave through the window, which was really lovely. And then i thought, i might not survive this. It would be lovely to leave them something to remember them by and i thought of this song and i messaged them on whatsapp with the link to it. When i went into the coma, they went down to the local park, victoria park, and played the song and prayed for me. Are you all right to continue . Yes, yes, im fine. Of the reason were talking to you this morning is were talking to you this morning is we are celebrating you coming back home and we are also celebrating your choice in music. Well, Desert Island discs is because a special edition is going out where nine people around the country has been chosen to talk about songs in this special edition. What was that like, being asked to be part of that . Unbelievable. I have been through quite an experience and i have seen lots of silver linings, but being on Desert Island discs is one of the highlights i love that programme, its one of my favourite programmes, and to be asked to be on it is just amazing. And the team were fantastic. Lauren and the team were really, really nice. In fact, thats been my experience of everyone i have spoken to at the bbc. You are a great organisation. Its been a joy talking to you this morning. Before we finish, i have to shout out to the nhs for the wonderful staff they have done. They were amazing, very professional, very compassionate and they saved my life. So, they are amazing. They really are amazing. No one will disagree with you there. We need to cherish them. Hugh mullally, thank you, enjoy listening to Desert Island discs on during the fifth. Thank you. Thank you. He sounds like he is in such a good place. Reflective. Absolutely. Trooping the colour is one of the biggest events in the royal calendar, but coronavirus means tomorrows ceremony will be much smaller than usual. Last year, we watched on breakfast as the kings troop royal horse artillery the group who fire the salutes at the parade trained on a beach in norfolk. The pandemic has meant a break for the units horses and time to graze in the fields, but training is starting up again as Sarah Campbell reports. Remember those amazing pictures . Preparing to get back on parade. For the equine stars of trooping the colour, training is under way once again. When the horses come back from grass, its like theyve been sat on the beach for a few months eating a lot of pizza they generally have got fatter. Trooping the colour is an important fixture in the regiment calendar. Its the epitome of pomp, position and pageantry in front of huge crowds. The horses love it they love the work, they love the attention they get as well. Everyone is going to be upset this year. Tomorrow there will be none of this, no royalfamily photo opportunity on the palace balcony and no 41 gun salute. For the last few months, most of the kings troupes causes have been enjoying the quiet life in the leicestershi re enjoying the quiet life in the leicestershire countryside. The decision has been made to get them back to the barracks. One of the thirsty return is ten year old equinox. And, in common with many of us, he needs a haircut. We take their mains offerfor us, he needs a haircut. We take their mains offer for safety reasons because when they are in harness, it can get detached and tangled up. Units like the kings troop royal horse artillery assisted to take the lead in big ceremonial and state occasions. All of which have been cancelled since march due to coronavirus. In normal times, trooping the colour would be one of the high points of the year. Newmarch passed her man majesty the queen first you much past. You march past. Its a great privilege to present it. A great privilege which new recruits like emma will miss out on this year at least. She has spent locked down on site, looking after the small number of horses who have been stable here throughout. Im looking forward to going to the parades and getting out there in front of the public eye i think its really important to show off what we can do and i want to be a part of that. Here at the barracks, they are champing at the bit to get back out on parade with humans and horses ready to resume their official duties as soon as its deemed safe to do so. Sarah campbell, bbc news, woolwich barracks and. Brilliant pictures. We are all adapting. Some time for the weather. Apologies to adam. A bit murky across parts of the country and foggy in Central England and wales and repeated across eastern scotland. We have the sunshine, it could feel quite warm over the next few days and turning increasingly humid. Some nasty thunderstorms expected through the weekend. Today, mainly towards the south west and across parts of wales. This area of cloud is what will bring the heavy set of rain. Heavy rain across Northern England through the last 21 hours. That rain easing off at times today. But it will say cloudy and damn. Misty and foggy through parts of wales and the midlands. Persistent rain in the Channel Islands. The rain in the Channel Islands. The rain spreading northwards through the afternoon. Southern counties of england south wales and midlands expect to get a good rain for an hour or two. Thunderstorms mixed in. A keen easterly breeze. Cool along the eastern coast. The odd shower into Northern Ireland and southern scotland. The north of Northern Ireland and west of scotland staying fairly well. The headlines are next. Fairly wet. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today the Financial Impact of coronavirus confirmation the uk suffered its biggest ever monthly fall in Economic Activity as the epidemic took hold. The economy shrunk 820. 4 as at shops, businesses and officers stayed close. I look at what it could mean for our jobs could mean for ourjobs and income and how long the recovery could take. Why the family of tony brown, who died from covid 19, have joined more than 400 others whove lost relatives to the disease, to demand an immediate Public Inquiry. 24 hour security for the statue of the scouts founder, Robert Baden Powell in poole in dorset, in the face of plans to remove it. Golf does its bit, for the black lives matter, movement. Some of the best players in the world, pause to mark the death of george floyd, as the professional game returns. Its friday, the 12th ofjune. Our top story official figures released in the last few minutes show the economy suffered its biggest ever monthy fall in Economic Activity in april, which was the first full month of lockdown. Lets go straight to ben, who is in our london newsroom, this morning. These numbers are outstanding. We knew it was going to be bad and a record for but take us through it. You are absolutely right. We were expecting a fall of maybe 15 for april. These are the latest figures and gives us a sense of what the economy did for a full month of lockdown. The figures we had before we re lockdown. The figures we had before were for march, with one week of lockdown. Now the figures are pretty brutal. 20. 4 . These were published at seven oclock from the office for national statistics. What gdp measures is all activity across the uk economy, things like building sites, factories and also things like shops and offices as well and, if you look at some of the detail, they said the Service Sector has seen its largest monthly poll since 1997, production since 1968, manufacturing since 1968 and Construction Since 2010. It does painta Construction Since 2010. It does paint a picture of an economy struggling to make any headway given the economy effectively shut down overnight. We spoke to a number of businesses about how they have been trying to adapt and get back to some sort of normality stop while these figures are backward looking, they tell us what has happened quite clearly. What we are concerned about is what happens next. What will it mean for ourjobs, wages and spending . Can we get back to some sort of normality . Businesses are saying we are trying to given they have to enforce social distancing and consumers are worried about how much money they have in their pocket and given the Hospitality Industry are saying it is not viable to reopen things like bars and restau ra nts reopen things like bars and restaurants if they have to maintain social distancing because i have to spend so much money getting staff and all of the team while not having full capacity. It means they cannot get back to the sort of productivity they were used to and so it is not surprising we have seen a big falloff in Economic Activity. On track for a recession. The uk will enter recession are very likely, according to the chancellor. We will get confirmation of that injune because in its technical term, it is to executive quarters of negative growth. Given this 20 fall in activity in april, pretty likely that we are already in recession. Under you will go for the numbers are further in a few minutes. We will talk to you shortly. Thank you. A group of a50 families who have lost relatives to coronavirus are demanding an immediate Public Inquiry into how the government managed parts of the pandemic. The family of tony brown, who died in march, say there is an urgent need to examine some issues to prevent more deaths. Ministers insist the priority right now is responding to the crisis. When is the appropriate time to go to hospital . It was not clear. We we re to hospital . It was not clear. We were trying to wait it out, everyone was trying to wait it out, he was trying to wait it out and if you wait too long it turns out it kills you very quickly. Plans for rigorous border checks after brexit are expected to be relaxed as part of measures to help businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The uk had committed to introduce import controls on eu goods at the end of the transition period in january. We can speak now to our olitical correspondent nick eardley. Having brexit back as a subject to talk about i think the government is now looking at the Economic Impact that coronavirus is having, asi impact that coronavirus is having, as i was telling us and we need to give business some space here. The plan had been to introduce food checks on the border on the first of january when the end and the measures we have been used for the last 30 years in the eu are removed. It is not going to do that. Were going to see instead a light touch where there will only be minimal checks on stuff coming in to the uk from europe. The government thinks it isa from europe. The government thinks it is a pragmatic approach and it will help business. It does not put more pressure on top of the pressure already seen from the coronavirus impact. It is not a complete answer though and we dont know how exactly that light touch will last fall. We do not think it would be forever and goods that the uk is ascending to europe, businesses selling on the continent, will still face checks on the european side because that is up to the eu. The basic idea here the government announcing it later, to give business more space as it tries to recover from the Coronavirus Crisis. Lots to talk about, those gdp figures and we will talk to you about how the government will be responding, a couple of interviews as well. Also priti patel clashing with labour mps over experiences of racism . Priti patel, the home secretary was talking about the black lives matter protists and she faced some criticism from labour mps. Protists. She said she was from a uganda background and she faced criticism so dont tell me how iam faced criticism so dont tell me how i am supposed to respond to this. Labourmps, 32 of i am supposed to respond to this. Labour mp5, 32 of them, have written to her saying she is not taking this seriously, the fact that you have experience of racism does not mean you are an authority on everybody elses experience of racism. Patel does not want to budge, she says she was not be silent. Priti patel. It is not clear to me how they will clear it so it could grumble on. Thank you very much. Barriers have been put up around a number of monuments in london including the cenotaph and a statue of Winston Churchill to try and protect them ahead of further planned anti racism protests this weekend. Meanwhile, 2a hour security has been placed on a statue of scouts Founder Robert baden powell in dorset until it can be safely taken down. Nick beake reports. A show of strength for the first chief scout, in poole, admirers of Robert Baden Powell stop the temporary removal of a statue from quayside. When antiracist campaigners put it on a target list, the council had wanted to take it away, fearing it would be attacked. I think whether Baden Powells beliefs were in the past, he has also done a lot of good and we cannot obliterate history. It is really important we learn from mistakes of the past. By pulling down history, by destroying our history, no one can learn from that. That is a sentiment shared by one government minister. You cannot escape history and i think it would be fundamentally dishonest of us to, through removing statues and airbrushing out history, to then pretend that all was well. Totalitarian regimes do that. The statue of slave trader Edward Colston is expected to end up in a museum, after it was retrieved from bristol docks, where it had been dumped by protesters on the weekend but in a city where his name has loomed large for so long, times are changing, and campaigners say more controversial symbols also need to disappear from public view across the uk. Im totally for a lot of the other statues in this country being removed and perhaps re contextualised in museums or somewhere where we actually understand what role they played in society, in a wider sense. The city of edinburgh is now proposing to dedicate the henry dundas monument to those enslaved, because of his actions. A new sign would explain that the 18th century politician helped delay the abolition of slavery by 15 years. In london, people say they will remove statues because of links to the slave trade. Across the thames at westminster, you protection for churchills statue which was repeated over in the recent protists. Lets get more from sophia seth, who is by the statue of scouts Founder Robert baden powell in dorset. Morning. The council has clarified where it stands when it comes to this statue . Good morning. The council have said they were going to temporarily remove this statue. As you can see behind me, some locals have camped out overnight to protect the statue here. It has been here since 2008 and it looks out to bouncy island where Robert Baden Powell set up the first scout camps but it has been put on a target list and this led to the council to make the decisions to temporarily remove the statue. This has led to strong emotions and locals are here this morning, they do not want the statue to be temporarily removed. The council acknowledged that, they know they have a duty to protect this statue. As you can see, it has not been removed that and that is due to the crowd as they saw yesterday but also they are away that the Foundation Run deeper than they envisaged so they need contractors to be able to discuss how can they remove it. We will also hearing last night from the deputy leader, who you will be speaking to later, that they made the decision to board it up so it is away from the public view instead of actually removing it if that is possible. Currently there is 2a hour security on the statue before a decision can be made. Thank you very much. One of the most famous episodes of the 19705 sitcom Fawlty Towers has been removed from a streaming service because it contains racial slurs. Uktv, which is owned by the bbc, said it had temporarily removed the germans episode while it carries out a review. The episode featured hotel owner basil fawlty, played by john cleese, shouting dont mention the war in front of a group of German Tourists with another character using offensive, racist language. Lets return to that breaking news now. The uk economy shrank by 2a in april, the first full month of lockdown. Bens here to help us understand what this means forjobs and businesses. We do not usually look at a monthly figure but because lockdown came down and april was the first full month of lockdown, the impact this is going to have is showing just how the virus has reverberated on the economy . Yes, youre right, and we should remember this is yes, youre right, and we should rememberthis isa yes, youre right, and we should remember this is a Rearview Mirror look, it tells us whats already happened but clearly attention will turn to how long the downturn last, what it means for things like jobs and our income and frankly what we do next as an economy. Confirmation of the headline figure the uk economy shrinking by 20. A in april, the first full month of lockdown. A staggering figure, more than was expected. Most analysts ive been speaking to thought the figure could be closer to 15 , so coming in much bigger than initial forecasts. Ive been crunching some of the numbers, its the biggest fall uk has ever seen with regards to Economic Growth. It is ten times the largest fall ever seen in growth. It is ten times the largest fall everseen ina growth. It is ten times the largest fall ever seen in a month before the coronavirus outbreak it gives you a sense of what the economy is contending with. On the one hand, no great surprise. We know businesses had to shut overnight, so everything from construction sites to factories and shops and offices. Yes, some people could work from home but they might not be as productive as in the office, and some businesses simply couldnt operate. Many staff were furloughed, the government paying their wages, and as a country we werent producing their wages, and as a country we we rent producing what their wages, and as a country we werent producing what we were before. In april, the economy was 25 smaller than it was in february, before the crisis hit. That gives you a sense of how the Economic Growth fell off a cliff. If you look at the detail and the areas most badly affected were things like car manufacturer, housing construction. Given International Travel and ports and borders were shutdown, imports and borders were shutdown, imports and exports really struggling because we know as an economy, domestic demand is very important but quite clearly what we make in this country and sell overseas is also hugely important for the wider Economic Growth picture. As i said, attention will turn to what happens next. On tuesday, we will get the latest unemployment figures and we will get a sense of what that means for all of us about ourjobs and income and a sense of what businesses are thinking about what happens next, how they have had to lay off staff. Ive been speaking to businesses in the last few weeks and they say the problem is they dont have clarity about getting back to normal. Many businesses trying to get back to normal but so many questions about getting back to some sort of normality. 20 economic fall in growth in april. Thanks very much, ben. Speakto in growth in april. Thanks very much, ben. Speak to you later. Lets get the reaction now from shadow chancellor, anneliese dodds, who joins us from oxford. Good morning. These figuresjust in at 7am, over 20 fall for the first full month during lockdown. What are your thoughts . Yes. Clearly this is a very worrying situation. As has just been mentioned, its a record fall. Very substantial. The what particularly concerns me is were not just looking at particularly concerns me is were notjust looking at one month of economic damage there was a report that came out a couple of days ago from the oecd, that group of industrialised nations, and it said the drop of gdp this year for the uk would be worse than for every other industrialised nation. Were in a very difficult situation as a country and we will need strong action to help us climb out of as fast as possible. Looking at the comments this morning in the last moment or two from rishi sunak, who has said, in line with many other economies around the world, coronavirus has had a severe impact on the economy and the lifelines weve provided with our furlough scheme, grants and loans and tax cuts have rejected thousands of businesses and millions ofjobs and we have set out plans to gradually and safely reopen the economy. Next week, more high street shops will be opening as we get lives of more back to normal topic those are his comments in the last few minutes. What do you make of those . Obviously we have tried to be a constructive opposition and we supported the creation of a number of those packages but theres two things really critical now first of all, we have to get the test, track and isolate system working properly. If we dont have it functioning as well as other nations, then we risk seeing additional lockdowns and a much slower reopening than otherwise. Of course, we will see far Lower Consumer confidence and thats critically important that we push demand upper so government needs to get a grip on that system. It is holding us back economically as well as in health terms. Secondly, with the economic packages we see different parts of our economy suffering so much more than others. Obviously hospitality, tourism and personal services. They will see the removal of those economic packages at the same time for every sector. I have called on the chancellor to look at that again. If we have a one size fits all approach to these different sectors, bundling all the economy in together, then were likely to see unemployment even worse than already and that will have a long term scarring impact on our economy that we have to avoid. Do you have any numbers . We talked about unemployment and lots of people will directly equate this with their lives, the gdp figure is one thing, a lot of people will equate this to their lives and work. Have you done modelling yourselves as to what you think the unemployment figures will be in two or three months . Well, we havent done that modelling. We are in opposition so we dont have a huge amount of resource, but we have been able to draw on what other bodies have been doing, various think tanks and Research Institutes et cetera and many have said, look, we will see a worse impact on unemployment if we have the same approach adopted right across the economy. Weve got around 3 Million People, Something Like that, on universal credit thats probably quite a bit lower actually than the reality of unemployment because lots of people will not have started to claim. Those figures on tuesday i think will be more helpful as an indication of where unemployment is really lying. We are saying to government, you need a strategy around this one focused on the long term. When somebody has fallen into unemployment, it becomes difficult for them and the economy asa difficult for them and the economy as a whole to deal with the costs incurred as a result. Help me with some practical s. We know 7 Million People are part of the government furlough scheme. For example, if you work at a hotel, to take one example, and you said it should vary according to different places, if you run a hotel and the majority of your staff, currently, possibly all of them are furlough, and you know that come august, you will still have no customers, there will be no people coming into your hotel, are you saying that the government should extend the 100 , 80 furlough scheme indefinitely . I dont know in practice. You say per area, talk about one hotel, one group of workers what would you do . About one hotel, one group of workers what would you do . Yes, of course it shouldnt be extended indefinitely. Ive never argued for that. So how long for . If we look at how other countries are dealing with this, they are often tying their economic support to the lifting of the lockdown. Hotels, for example, do not yet have clarity around when theyre going to be able to open and just as you say, they are going to have to be providing that input from employers into the furlough scheme that 10 employers into the furlough scheme that 10 theyre going to have to be putting that in at the same time as every other part of the economy and thats likely to result in a wave of unemployment with lots of people coming into the jobs market at the same time. What would you do . We shouldnt have the one size fits all approach. Weather we have a different approach through furlough, withdrawn at different times through different sectors, that is what i have urged the chancellor a number of times to look at. We could have the same approach for the self employed scheme and make it more targeted. Sorry, forgive me, your language is confusing me a bit. You are saying we could do, but what do you think they should do . What i think they should do is they could either have a varied approach to the furlough and the self employed scheme which, in the latter case, would make it that are targeted and would make it that are targeted and would likely save money, or they should provide an alternative and they havent done that. Which is what, sorry . Essential support, which is not arrived yet. In many cases we were told that there would be different sector deals. We are yet to see them arriving across a whole range of different affected sectors. That means, for example, a small pub owner, the hotel owner you just mentioned, or a hairdresser, theyre scratching ahead and thinking, how on earth am i going to survive . These are not sectors that wont be viable in the future. The cost of them closing now when they could have been effectively mothballed to an extent and reopened once the conditions are safe to do so is far, far larger. We are urging government to take that long term view and reflect the nature of our economy in doing so. view and reflect the nature of our economy in doing so. I appreciate your thoughts on that. One more question, it is in relation to the home secretary, priti patel, and her comments. She has said that some labour mps comments. She has said that some labourmps are comments. She has said that some labour mps are trying to silence her. This is in relation to the comments about her personal experiences of racism. Do you think priti patel is right to think that she is being silenced by some of yourmps . She is being silenced by some of your mps . Well, im not going to speakfor your mps . Well, im not going to speak for my colleagues and actually, as i understand it, part of what theyre pointing attention to is the fact black peoples voices often havent been heard and they need to be heard. Whats critical for me and what i find quite frustrating about a lot of this is we know that those racial inequalities are there. At the debate, which i believe was the prompterfor that debate, which i believe was the prompter for that letter, time and time again people were asking when action was going to come. Weve had the wind rush review, the lammy review, now the Public Health england review, showing substantial racial and nothing being done about it and for me that has to be the focus and we have to take action against those inequalities. Anneliese dodds, thank you very much. Anneliese dodds is the shadow chancellor. Now lets get the weather with matt. A very dramatic each picture . A very dramatic each picture7m a very dramatic each picture . It is, a bit grey at the moment but more rain to come in swansea later. While some will see sunshine, a third bit of cloud around today but when the sun comes out, and certainly into the weekend, feeling increasingly warm and more humid over the next few days. As the graphics suggest, it could go with a bang at times with some pretty nasty thunderstorms with some pretty nasty thunderstorms with gusty winds and large hail as well as frequent lightning. Not affecting everyone. These are the main risk areas for the next few days, today it will be this afternoon in South West England and wales and tomorrow, lightning and thunderstorms could come worst in parts of wales, north west england and by sunday, the main risk area tra nsfers and by sunday, the main risk area tra nsfe rs a cross and by sunday, the main risk area transfers across the irish sea into parts of Northern Ireland s. Even in these areas, not everyone will see those storms but the greatest chance of a bit of disruption from Stormy Weather as we head through the next three days. To days main risk is south west and wales, because thats because youre closer to their swirling mass of cloud, a big danish street, a lot of rain in the Channel Islands from the bay of biscay moving north and rain in the north of england, some in the north east have seen more rain in the last 2a hours than the entirety of spring and the rain will come and go in Northern England, Northern Ireland and scotland through the day, turning light and patchy. Misty and foggy to the south of that, brighterfurther and foggy to the south of that, brighter further north but the rain in the Channel Islands will spread into southern counties in the afternoon before turning to sunshine and a few showers. By mid afternoon, it will be in the south midlands, south wales and the south west and this is where we could see nasty thunderstorms. A bit brighter to the north of that with sunshine, and isolated showers and staying cloudy for some in Northern England and to the pennines, misty and cooler to go with the rain but sunshine and a few showers in Northern Ireland with some outbreaks of rain to the south in scotland. Dry and fine in northern scotland. Sunshine in the north west, 18 or 19. Wet in the east of scotland through tonight, mist and low cloud rolls in and that will hang around for much of the weekend and the rain in the south pushes further north, so more rain in north east england through tomorrow. Mist and fog patches into the start of your weekend but saturday starts on a fairly mild and fairly humid note. We see the outbreaks in Northern England and southern scotland to begin with, they will ease for a time and then more later. South of that, we will see sunshine but as temperatures start to climb and the humidity kicks in, we could see intense thunderstorms developing it specially in parts of wales, the midlands and north west wales. The same again on sunday. School children and key workers are taking over the tannoys in train stations across england and scotland from today, to encourage commuters to get about safely. Its hoped the messages will remind people to follow the new travel guidelines, which include wearing face coverings. Lets listen to some of the new announcers. Iam i am lottie and my parents are key workers. To keep us all save, please wear face coverings and make sure you wash your hands often. wear face coverings and make sure you wash your hands often. I am teddy and i am ten and my parents are teddy and i am ten and my parents a re key teddy and i am ten and my parents are key workers. Please help save lives by maintaining your distance so we cannot stay safe. We can speak now to lottie and teddy, and their mum sara. Good morning to you. I could see your smile is as you heard your voices. How much fun wasnt recording those announcements . M was really fun and i was really excited to do it but, at the same time, iwas excited to do it but, at the same time, i was really nervous. What about you teddy . I was excited but thenit about you teddy . I was excited but then it got a bit boring once i had to do it again and again and again and again. This is what we go through all the time ntv when we have to record our voices for reports. The editors make us do it over and over again to make it perfect. How many times did they make you do it . Not too many. You are quite good. About ten. Just explain how this all came about. These two are train fans and we like travelling by train and i work for the nhs, and their father is a frontline ambulance pilot so we thought they would be good people because they know the sacrifices of people working through the pandemic and they want to do what they can to play their part. You hit a different voice, it will make you Pay Attention a bit more. The normal structure is a very formal voice and maybe people let it wash over them like they do other announcements. Maybe, because your voice sounds different, they listen in a bit more. What do you think . Yes, i think people sewn out. We thought, what would it be like hearing a child speaking. What would you think . You would Pay Attention, wouldnt you . Think . You would Pay Attention, wouldnt you . Yes. They have other key workers as well, teachers, London Ambulance service, so every most people that people need to use the trains. Teddy and lottie, have you yet been on a train and heard your own voices . No. That may be a little bit weird when it does. think it will be fabulous. I should ask because the messages you say is that you want people to wash their hands and wear face coverings. Have you been having conversations with your friends about the new rules and how you are coping . A little bit. With your teachers . We have had conversations with our teachers and friends. Not much about the rules that make a little bit about the roles and when you are getting back to school and stuff but not much. Well done and i think it will work. I think people will Pay Attention. Well done and thank you. Give us a big way. It is a kind of tradition now. We could learn something from them, in terms of how many takes. The uk economy shrank by a record 20. A in april, the first full month of the coronavirus lockdown. The official figures, which were released in the last half hour, show the largest monthly drop in Economic Activity since records began. Virtually all areas of the economy were hit, with pubs, construction and car sales particularly affected. Were joined now by the Health Minister edward argar. Good morning, edward argar. Your reaction to this dramatic, larger than what economists were predicting. Different economist predicted Different Levels ranging from 8 31 but 20. A is clearly a significant contraction. The medium focus was 18. A so it is 2 greater. It is still a significant reduction in our economy. We saw the oecd report yesterday which again highlighted that we are in roughly the same place as western economies like france, spain and italy. But it isa like france, spain and italy. But it is a contraction of our economy a significant one. You quoted the oecd report and you say we are roughly in line with other countries. Why would they they say that britains economy is likely to suffer the worst damage of any country in the developed world . We of any country in the developed world . We are the worst. That is their projection at the moment but yesterday, when this was reported, a number of commentators rightly saying that wasnt what they predicted but that france, spain and italy were in pretty much the same space. We have seen from the effects that it would have a significant effect on the economy, the lockdown and the restrictions imposed on our economy and individuals, that it would have a significant effect and it has done. Why are we the worst . Well, we will wait and see as these figures come out from other countries. It is a projection from the oecd. I would rather pause until we see all the figures but it is a Significant Impact on our economy and it is something the chancellor was well aware of and that it could happen and that is why we put in place one of the most generous and i believe effective schemes for Financial Support for individuals and businesses in the world but clearly it is a very Significant Impact. What are you going to do about it . First of all, as you know, the chancellor said we would do whatever is necessary while the lockdown is in place for businesses. A Million People have taken advantage of the followed scheme, two and a half million roughly for the self employed income support scheme so those measures are in place to support people at the moment and continue to support them into the summer but what we now need to do is get the economy starting up again. Start reopening businesses, which will see from next week dish that we will see. But we do not want to have a second wave which would be devastating. So were doing it in a measured way, protecting Public Health and, at the same time, step by step opening up different sectors of the economy to started moving again. There is a real conundrum which governments around the world are facing and this government is no different in that sense. The Hospitality Industry, for example, there is no business to be had in many ways, in terms of hotels, people are not going to hotels, they are having to let people go and are also considering that, when it comes to retail, people are reluctant to go to the shops at the moment, whether the measures are in place or not because they are concerned. With all of that going on and followed coming to an. It is going to come to an. How much worse doesnt get in terms of money be generated and put into the economy. Furloughed. Terms of money be generated and put into the economy. Furloughed. As furloughed the scheme tapers down, the economy will open up so the two go hand in hand. The Hospitality Industry, i have been talking to people who own restaurants and pubs and they are making it work at the moment. They are taking advantage of the support on offer but they do express how they businesses will work given the nature of our pub operates for example with social distancing in place. You having these conversations and i would like you to explain, pubs and restaurants say they want to bring business back. Give me an example of what you think, say they are open again, what percentage of business will they realistically be able to generate because they will not be able to physically fit in as many people . M will depend on premises to premises but there are two linked things. One is businesses and their operating model and how many people they can get into their shops to generate income, the other point, which i think you had reports on earlier this morning, the publics reaction. Do they feel confident about going back into shops and retail outlets and spending their money . And so we have got to do a number of things. First of all, those shops and retail outlets will be putting in place social distancing, cleansing regimes to protect staff and customers but a lot of this, and i think this has been alluded to in some of your interviews and commentary earlier, does come back to this social distancing and the two metre rule and how viable that makes it for some businesses to operate, some more so than others, and what we have to do is keep it under review but also we have the balance of how we get the economy moving with the Health Impact that the two metre rule does significantly reduce the risk of transmission compared to sate one metre. Different countries have different approaches but at the moment, the advice we have is that two metres is the right space to have. The Prime Minister will have to make that decision but it is under constant review. You will have to make a decision between whether or not we take more risks are being in close proximity to each other in order to get the economy going or not . You are absolutely right. It is a balance and it is a tough one. I know how tough this has been for businesses up and down this country. It has been tough for individuals as well. What we want to do is to safely reopen step by step. I am a lwa ys safely reopen step by step. I am always cautious about these things. Step by step, when it is safe to do so but at the same time trying to make sure we do not see a devastating second wave which would have an even bigger impact on our economy if it was just starting to get going again and we saw a second wave that required measures to put in place to control that. We have to do it very carefully, very cautiously and based on science but ultimately, it is advice and the Prime Minister to decide. Can we talk about track and trace statistics. The first numbers about how many people had been contacted. Can you explain something to me and i apologise it will get a little bit bogged down in numbers. I will try to keep it as simple as possible. Just over 8000 people protested positive for covid 19 between mate 28th and during first, the first period of test and trace. Of those, two thirds of those were reached and contacted two thirds of those were reached and co nta cted by two thirds of those were reached and contacted by the traces which made one third of people were not. If you look at the number of people consequently of those who were contacted who were then told to isolate for 1a days, it was a multiple of six. When a third were not contacted, which is 2700, that means potentially there are 60,000 people out there today, from that period of time, who do not know they should isolate. 16,000. Period of time, who do not know they should isolate. 16,000. 8117 people we tried to contact. 5a07 we re people we tried to contact. 5a07 were contacted. Some people would not have answered the phone. If you have the flu, for example, an covid 19 is a much, much nicer disease, you sometimes simply do not feel like answering the telephone so it is possible some of those people we re it is possible some of those people were under the weather and not feeling up to answering phone calls but will continue to pursue them. We will continue. This is the first week of this new scheme and i think it has started off really, really well. To get your point of the number who were then contacted, they generated just under 32,000 contacts and 85 of those, just shy of 27,000 agreed to do what was the right thing and self isolate. You are right about that, that multiple of six and that potentially the number of people out there if you stipulate that figures is a significant number but i will say two things on that. Firstly, we continue to chase up those who did not respond and i suspect that number will go up. And secondly, this is the first weeks data. When i was on your show a couple of weeks ago, quite rightly impressed me about publishing the data and i said we have to get it right. We are doing that. It is positive data for the first week but there is a lot more to do and we will continue incrementally improving that performance. Edward argar thank you for talking to us on breakfast. Thank you very much. How are things, mike . Getting busier and busier as more sport returns. Professional golf made its return last night, and first of all, the players in texas took the opportunity to show their support for the black lives matter movement. They paused for a minutes silence at 8 a6am 8 minutes and a6 seconds was the length of time that george floyd was pinned down by a Police Officer before he died. The players also arrived in masks as part of the measures in place to protect against coronavirus. Rory mcilroy and justin rose were amongst the field and it was rose, who looks to have made the most of his time away from the course he was the joint leader at close of play. The premier leagues back next week and the clubs have agreed that theres no need for players and staff to wear masks at the stadiums. Therell be no ball boys or girls either. The players have been asked to avoid spitting and to stick to social distancing guidelines when they celebrate goals. The clubs also say that they will wear heart shaped badges on their shirts in a tribute to front line nhs staff. That could be a challenge, as weve seenin that could be a challenge, as weve seen in germany, to celebrate with social distancing in mind. This seasons fa cup final is going to be renamed the heads up fa cup final. Its to support the season long Mental Health campaign thats been led by the duke of cambridge, who is president of the fa. The final is currently due to be played on first august, and the duke says its an opportunity to promote good, positive Mental Health for everyone. He also tried to do a bit of transfer business for the team he supports when talking about the campaign with some of the arsenal squad. Ijust want i just want to say, pieere, i ijust want to say, pieere, i hope you are at aston villa next year i had to put that in there just in case maybe pieere and i will have some words later did you see the arsenal manager mikel arteta waving his finger there, saying no . Manchester united forward Marcus Rashford has reached a significant milestone in his mission to provide meals for Vulnerable People. You might remember that he started the campaign here on breakfast. Rashford has now raised £20 million alongside the fair share charity, that will pay for around three million meals. He says hell keep fighting until no child in the uk has to worry about where their next meal is coming from. What an amazing effort now how do you stage an International Athletics event when athletes cant travel . Well, a bit like how weve all been connecting with our friends and relatives during lockdown we do it via video screens and remotely so called impossible games was staged last night. Athletes in kenya racing at the same time against a team of athletes in oslo, where the event was held, and there was a pole vault showdown between the swedish world record holder in the stadium, a frenchman competing from his back garden in central france running up between his sheds, and up and not quite over, but managing not to land over the fence in the neighbours garden. We saw renault la villinie competing in the garden clash a few weeks ago on breakfast, but this was his first proper international event. Not the biggest run up either, was aired, from the sheds to the end was it. Show us again, this diy athletics event. These are the athletes in kenya on the left running at the same time as those athletes in norway, where the event was staged. Two teams competing against each other and we saw World Records in solo races. Renault, the run up to wean the sheds, a makeshift run up, but he still has the technique. Incredible height, 5. 86 metres, not quite clearing it. In the mountainous region of central france, you can see the mountains in the distance, quite windy. If he had gone off at an angle, im looking at the tree, there was a few issues but it was all safe. It cant be the same as in the stadium with the space, you have to be conscious of the sheds not going into the neighbours garden. How many times have you seen a professional pole vault go off the side . They dont do it not like me and you, i would be in the neighbours garden m
