Cooler feel as we introduce this northerly wind. As we go through sunday night, some of those showers for a time sunday night, some of those showers fora time in sunday night, some of those showers for a time in england and wales. More of us feel the effects of that north east wind, and that cloud would drag weather into the eastern side of scotland and england. Further west, that is where we will have the best of the sunshine. But the wind is particularly brisk for eastern and southern coasts. Could see gusts of 50 mph for the channel islands. Look at the temperatures, aberdeen, newcastle, 7 degrees. Plymouth, a high of 14. As we move through monday night, as this area of High Pressure builds strongly across the british isles, notice the blue colours developing on the chart. With light winds itll get cold, quite a widespread frost for tuesday morning. Worth bearing in mind if you have been gardening. It does turn warmer later in the week. Hello. This is bbc news. Im martine croxall. The headlines the uk home secretary acknowledges criticism, after doctors warn theyre still not getting the protective equipment they need to treat patients with coronavirus. Im sorry if people feel that there have been failings. I will be very, very clear about that. But at the same time, we are in an unprecedented Global Health pandemic right now. The number of people whove died with coronavirus in the uk has gone up by 917 since yesterday. For the first time, the queen has recorded an easter message, in which she offers hope, and says that coronavirus will not overcome us. Police in the uk say theres been a 21 drop in overall crime in the past four weeks, but more than 1,000 fines have been issued to people breaching social distancing rules. Us coronavirus deaths top 19,600 the highest reported number in the world, exceeding italy. As spains daily coronavirus death toll falls for the third day in a row to 510 the world health 0rganisation tells countries to be cautious about lifting restrictions too early. Now on bbc news, italys prime minister, giuseppe conte, speaks to mark lowen about the impact the Coronavirus Crisis is having on italys society and economy, and when the lockdown may be lifted. Its seven weeks since the coronavirus hit italy like a bomb. It hasnt stopped exploding since. This is the country with the highest number of deaths. Its losing the equivalent of a village a day. Families torn apart. Hospitals at breaking point. Italy was the first country outside china to implement a national lockdown. Virtually everything was closed, police enforcing restrictions. Its brought the European UnionsThird Largest economy to its knees. But now, perhaps, a turning point. With the infection rate slowing, there is hope that italys worst is behind it. Whats happening in these weeks will be felt in italy for generations. In a country thats overcome wars and fascism, rarely have the decisions taken by the occupant of this office been more consequential. Policies to stop the dying, to ensure italys economic survival, to give italians hope again. The right moment, then, to talk to the italian prime minister, giuseppe conte, the man leading italy through its biggest crisis in peacetime. Its his first interview with a british broadcaster since the outbreak began. Prime minister conte, thank you very much for talking to us. We are now almost seven weeks since the first cases were discovered in northern italy. In your opinion, at what stage is italy at in this crisis . You speak of a phase two. You have spoken before about the italian model. Italy was the first country, of course, in europe to be hit in this way, the first country to impose this lockdown. In terms of the italian model, what is italys model for easing the lockdown now . When will the easing of restrictions begin . I would like to analyse with you a little bit about what italy has done right and wrong, partly because it would help guide other countries. Do you regret being too slow to have implemented a full lockdown, despite the fact that politicians in lombardy, chinese officials, were advising it . Your critics would say you didnt listen to them. But you talk about the need for gradual restrictions and, yet, towns, cities like bergamo, for example, have suffered because the restrictions were too piecemeal at the start, arguably. In regions like veneto, where there was a more complete shutdown, there was more severe testing straight away, they have been more able to control the crisis. Are you really saying that you would do exactly the same if you could go back in time . But on 25th february, you said, italy is a safe country, maybe safer than others. Your foreign minister, three days later, said misleading information was doing more harm than the virus itself. Do you regret using language that some would say underestimated the severity of this crisis . May i ask you about testing . Italy is, at the moment, performing roughly double the number of daily tests than the united kingdom. What advice would you give britain at the moment about testing . But are countries that are performing fewer tests than italy making a mistake . There are still hundreds of deaths every day, but many fear that the real number is much higher because of the deaths in care homes and people who die at home. Is italy underestimating, or underreporting, the real fatalities of this crisis . The latest economic forecasts suggest that italys economy could contract by over 11 , debt will soar, italians will struggle to put food on the table. Italy is facing an economic collapse from this, isnt it . You mentioned there the need for an eu coordinated response. You have criticised the European Union for showing a lack of solidarity towards italy. Youre not getting what you want from the European Union at the moment. Does italy feel let down by the eu . Do you fear, though, such a rise in anti European Union sentiment in this country one of the founding members of the European Union is threatening the whole european project at the moment . If the European Union does not rise to this challenge, could that be a failure . Could the European Union itself be at blame . Playing a much louder part than europe has been others including russia, for example that have sent aid and medics to italy. Is russia using its aid as leverage for italy to lift sanctions . Can you tell us now, does the russian aid have Strings Attached . Borisjohnson is in hospital, as you mentioned earlier. May i ask, have you yourself been tested . Thousands of your compatriots have died, mortuaries are overflowing, families have been ripped apart. I wonder, when you go home at night and your quietest moments, how do you personally feel about what is happening here . Over the seven weeks of this crisis, what is the thing that has affected you emotionally the most . And finally, how long do you think it will take your country to recover from this . Prime minister conte, thank you very much indeed. Grazie. Good evening. Quite a big change on the way through the second half of this easter weekend. After a couple of very warm days, temperatures will drop from the north on sunday and particularly into easter monday. A few hefty downpours in places throughout sunday as well. A complex weather setup High Pressure drifting to the west, low pressure up to the north east. But all you really need to worry about is where the white lines are coming from because they are from a long way north, where the air will increasingly come from, with a brisk wind as well, and the cold air spreads southwards on Easter Sunday and into easter monday. A very different feel by the end of the weekend. But back to the here and now, hefty showers and thunderstorms across england and this evening. They then fade, so clear spells for the most part. Cloud and patchy rain affecting scotland and Northern Ireland. Not a cold night. Parts of south east england and northern scotland could get down to two or three degrees. Tomorrow, this band of cloud and rain making erratic progress south eastwards, rain for a time across Northern Ireland and southern scotland. Rain trying to fringe into west wales and the south west of england but, generally, sunny spells and hefty showers. Into the afternoon, those showers could get really heavy indeed, with frequent lightning and thunder thrown in. 25 degrees once again in london. But further north, a much cooler feel, as we introduce this northerly wind. Through sunday night, still some showers for a time in england and wales, more of us feel the effects of the north or north easterly wind and, on monday, that drags a lot of cloud into northern and eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england. Further west, with shelter from that wind, we will have the best of the sunshine. But the wind particularly brisk for eastern and southern coasts. Could see gusts of up to 50 mph for the channel islands. And look at the temperatures. Aberdeen, newcastle, 7 degrees, that is your top temperature. Cardiff and plymouth, a high of 1a degrees. Through monday night, as this area of High Pressure builds strongly across the british isles, notice the blue colours developing on the chart. With light winds, it is going to get cold, quite a widespread frost for tuesday morning. Worth bearing in mind if youve been gardening over the weekend. Quite a cool feeling day on tuesday, but it does turn warmer later into the week.
