Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. Joining me are andy silvester, Deputy Editor of city am, and caroline wheeler, the deputy Political Editor of the sunday times. Just a quick canter through the front pages. The i describes this week as the biggest week for the nhs since its inception, as a new temporary hospital is set to open at a london exhibition centre, with 4,000 beds. The metro also concentrates on the new Field Hospital, as the uks coronavirus death toll soared by 87 in a day, from 335 to 422. The Daily Telegraph reports that Police Officers are to persuade, cajole, negotiate and advise the public to follow lockdown restrictions, as Law Enforcement leaders said they dont want to be compelled to take more draconian measures that are being commonly used abroad. The express picks up on Matt Hancocks promise that millions of new antibody tests will help britain defeat coronavirus. It also reports a study claiming 50 of us may have been infected. The times also covers the briefing by the health secretary, where he revealed a 250,000 people are being recruited for an nhs volunteer army. But, according to the guardian, a massive nhs recruitment drive to help contain the pandemic risks being undermined by the prospect of doctors quitting over fears of inadequate protective equipment. And the Financial Times focuses on chancellor, rishi sunaks, warning that the pandemic would inevitably lead to businesses collapsing. So lets start off, then. Caroline, why dont you start us off with the telegraph. They have that quite dramatic front page picture of Boris Johnson and his cabinet, all of his cabinet, not around the table but in a screen. Yes, and i am sure this is something that of people up another country are becoming more familiar now, this prospect of having meetings over the internet, and basically having to deal with people and mute them and stop them coughing and mute them and stop them coughing and listen into what is being said. And of course, the Prime Minister himself is not immune to that, and actually was leading by example today, making that very big National Statement yesterday advising everybody to stay and work from home wherever possible. And of course, thats exactly what he was doing today, as he spoke to his most senior advisors and members of the government over the internet. And you can see theyre all those faces lined up. I think they use all sorts of technology, zoom seems to be very popular at the moment, to discuss the latest on the coronavirus remotely. Caroline, your paper last weekend had a big story saying that the government had sort of changed tack in this whole crisis. Just explain a little bit about what you are saying on that. Well, it has beenin are saying on that. Well, it has been in the either for a while, are saying on that. Well, it has been in the eitherfor a while, i suppose, which was this notion that to begin with we were adopting this policy of herd immunity, which was basically to let the virus go, to let it go out there, and that we would all get it and basically become immune to it. And clearly that was something that many other scientists in other parts of the world were not adhering to, as we saw in other places like italy and spain and lots of other places, they we re spain and lots of other places, they were introducing very draconian measures that we are now seeing in the uk. So there has been a big sort of ruckus about whether or not we have actually behaved responsibly, whether or not we took the sufficient steps that were needed early enough. Of course, what this is all about now, and why we have got these very draconian social distancing measures, is to try and flatten the peak of the epidemic, so that the nhs doesnt collapse under the strain of people going particularly into those intensive ca re particularly into those intensive care beds. There is a row, really, about whether or not we did enough early on enough or if we were out of step with the rest of the world. 0k. Well, we have now had, andy, of course, Boris Johnsons well, we have now had, andy, of course, borisjohnsons instructions in that tv address last night. And the other bit of the front pages about the police and how they are trying to use persuasion rather than punishment to kind of enforce these commandments from Boris Johnson. Punishment to kind of enforce these commandments from borisjohnson. The introduction to that story says Police Officers are, quote, to persuade, cajole, negotiate and advise rather than to go around arresting people. Yes, and you saw that with the videos on social media of how certain gatherings were broken up. There were some in the linden park, sunbathers can in a london park. The police said would you please leave, this is a lockdown and not a holiday. You also have the comments by the chair of the Police Federation who said that this isnt a lockdown, we shouldnt see it as a lockdown, but it is heavy restrictions. And it is up to all of us, 60 million of us in the uk, to follow those restrictions, or we will be left with no choice but for the police to acquire more powers. And in france, the police can request papers, you are not allowed to bea request papers, you are not allowed to be a kilometre away from your house, and so on and so forth. We will keep seeing this throughout this process, the government almost giving the british people the benefit of the doubt. I guess the hopeis benefit of the doubt. I guess the hope is this week we find out what the government is asking us to do. And a similar thing in the metro, police breaking up groups defying the lockdown, says the metro, with some idiots even out having barbecues. There was a story that police had to break up a barbecue in the West Midlands with around 20 people. Some people just the West Midlands with around 20 people. Some peoplejust dont the West Midlands with around 20 people. Some people just dont get the message, do they . Know, and we are seeing that more and more on social media. My facebook pages full of people snitching their neighbours having garden parties, questioning some of the behaviour that we are seeing. Now, of course, it is worth three emphasising that the Prime Minister did say, and i think it ties in with what andy was saying, in terms of it being restrictions rather than a lockdown, that you are able to leave the house, you are still able to go for that run or that walk or that bicycle ride once a day, but you are supposed to do that just with your a day, but you are supposed to do thatjust with your nearest a day, but you are supposed to do that just with your nearest and dearest, the people that you live with, and not to meet with any more than one other person. So of course, there are going to be examples, that sunbathing example is one, where the police are going to step in. But it isa police are going to step in. But it is a hard task for the police. I mean, there is a lot going on. We know that the police force has been under resourced for a long time. That is why we are seeing the government recruiting another 20,000. We have a tradition of policing by consent here. They will bea policing by consent here. They will be a great resistance to this notion that they should or would want to be given greater powers, such as we we re given greater powers, such as we were discussing there, where you actually have to have documentation to leave the house. And we know, we think we know, it has been mooted that michael gove is in fact in favour of those more draconian measures. But i think what will remain to be seen as if we see the public now adhering to that. And certainly when i was out and about today, we went for our one walk with the children this afternoon along the children this afternoon along the river, it was quite clear that people were being a bit more cautious. But there were still lots of people out and about. So i think one of the things that we will see now is the government taking stock of what the numbers look like, and whether or not we are seeing those nhs Services Starting to be overwhelmed, as to whether they restrict them anymore. And andy, the other side of what the government have got to do is get the nhs as prepared as possible for this peak that we are expecting. We dont know when it might be, in the next couple of weeks, maybe a bit further down the track. But news again highlighted in the metro of this extraordinarily dramatic announcement of a kind of makeshift Field Hospital for announcement of a kind of makeshift Field Hospitalfor 4000 people at the excel centre in london. Yes, and there are reports tonight that that Convention Centre with 4000 beds may not be the only one the government is considering as this virus continues to creep on. Another couple of centres have been looked at by government as potential alternatives down the track. The nhs is going to have to get there had around, according to matt hancock, more than 10,000 recently retired nhs practitioners have come back, and you also have the story on other front pages about the nhs. The other side of this is that matt hancock has been looking to get a clear idea of where we are on the outbreak. An interesting story in a few of the paper suggesting that perhaps more of us had it that we thought. As a result, we may end not with a bang but with a whimper. Caroline, the biggest week, says the i. Caroline, the biggest week, says the i, for the caroline, the biggest week, says the i, forthe nhs caroline, the biggest week, says the i, for the nhs since it was created after the war. That is probably not an overstatement, is it . No, absolutely not, but i think a bit like we had with brexit last year where every week was unprecedented and never before have we seen so much news, i think were going to see more and more weeks that i described as being unprecedented for the nhs, as we move towards those spring and summer months where were expecting the peak this urge to hit. Imean, it expecting the peak this urge to hit. I mean, it is unprecedented that, you know, we are seeing a pandemic of this nature, and to be given all of this nature, and to be given all of these social distancing restrictions, i mean, it is very clear that this is going to have a Significant Impact on the nhs. And in fact, seeing that announcement today about recruiting that 250,000 extra people to help with the nhs is another clear indication of how bad the government thinks this is going to get in the next weeks and months to get in the next weeks and months to come. Andy, and that is highlighted in the times. The call foran army of highlighted in the times. The call for an army of volunteers, and quite a dramatic picture on the front page of the times, of army trucks delivering supplies to saint thomass hospital in london. But that sort of call for volunteers to help the nhs, it is really sort of everybody doing their bit, isnt it, whether it is just doing their bit in terms of social distancing or actively helping the health service. Yes, the government has been very clear for the past two weeks in most of their statements that they are asking the public to make sacrifices. They understand the sacrifices. They understand the sacrifice we are making, but also that we are part of a national effort. The government wants to press getting us into this group effort. I think they were probably stunned by some of the criticism of the response that we initially had from the virus epidemic, by international standards. We are somewhat lacking in the restrictions we are seeing. I think the government is trying to catch up by bringing people into the effort, not just family members being asked to call the elderly relatives, but to sort of form this 250,000 army. The more people of us that are involved in this effort, the less likely that they will continue to receive criticism, not least on issues around everything from self employment to wear Building Sites should go. Caroline, a similar story in the sun, the National Health service, and i suppose it is true to say that so many people do wa nt to true to say that so many people do want to get involved in helping out in whatever way they can. We have seen in whatever way they can. We have seen neighbours setting up whatsapp groups to help out elderly relatives, that sort of thing. Absolutely. You can again see it on social media, people putting m essa 9 es social media, people putting messages out saying if you need us to look after your children or do x, why and z, but the problem we always have to countenance with this is that you cant really do anything that you cant really do anything that then puts you in contact with other people. And of course, my point about this is about the testing, and making sure that the nhs workers have the testing so that they know who has got it, who hasnt got it, and even better, a test which shows whether you have had it and are building up an immunity. Because one of the things that would concern me is that if you go out and you are volunteering, with the nhs, you are volunteering, with the nhs, you may be bringing that virus in, unbeknownst, given that we know quite a lot of people are supposed to be asymptomatic, which is of course what is alluded to in that report, suggesting that up to 50 of us report, suggesting that up to 50 of us may have had it and simply not known. So i think it is absolutely essential that the testing goes hand in hand with that volunteer army, to make sure that they are actually able to help and assist, rather than potentially increasing the problems by bringing more germs, more viruses into those hospitals and hospital wards. I am just into those hospitals and hospital wards. I amjust going into those hospitals and hospital wards. I am just going to stick with you, caroline, because the line to andy isnt brilliant at the moment. We were talking about earlier about your story about how the Government Strategy had changed on this. What about Boris Johnsons strategy had changed on this. What about borisjohnsons performance through this crisis . Because i know politics isnt at the forefront of peoples mines at the moment, but i mean, the history books willjudge him on how, probably more than anything else in his premiership, how he has handled this crisis. Yes, absolutely. He went into this premiership thinking that he would bejudged on his record on brexit, not knowing, as they always say, whats going to come around the corner. And of course, this is unprecedented. I mean, i cant think of another event in my lifetime, certainly, and even in my parents lifetime, since the second world war, that has been as unprecedented as this. So he will absolutely be judged on this. At the beginning, i think that he was judged quite fairly on it. He seemed to be on top of things. I think then there was this question mark about whether or not they were pursuing this policy of this herd immunity, which seemed to be at odds with a lot of the other International Community of scientists, who were really saying the opposite, which was that you really had to catch it, lock it down and stop people from transmitting it. So there will be a question mark over whether all of this is a bit too little, too late. His performance at the press conferences, by and large, up until a couple of days ago, seemed to be impressing quite a lot of people. 0bviously he had rishi sunak alongside him at some of those press conferences, who one great plaudits for some of his performances. In subsequent days there has been some criticism that he perhaps hasnt been as on top of his game as he might be, although last nights national address, which was watched byi national address, which was watched by i think 27 million people, again, we have seen by i think 27 million people, again, we have seen some by i think 27 million people, again, we have seen some of those leader columns that have been a bit critical of the Prime Minister, again changing tack and saying that he was now on top of the situation and doing well. Thank you both for reviewing the newspaper front pages. Thats it for the papers this hour. Thank you, andy and caroline. Goodbye from the all of us. Goodbye from the all of us. The sport is coming up. But first, lets remind ourselves of those announcements which have been made today by the health secretary, matt hancock. Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced of the most radical steps yet to slow the spread of this virus, and these steps are not requests, they are rules. You should stay at home, accepted to shop for food, for medical reasons, for exercise or for work, including caring and volunteering in the Coronavirus National effort. We we understand how significant these steps are. We ask for your forbearance, but i think the public knows this is important, and they knows this is important, and they know how vital a task it is that we get a know how vital a task it is that we geta grip know how vital a task it is that we get a grip on the spread of this virus in. And slow it down. The more we follow the rules, the sooner we stop the spread, so everybody has a responsibility to follow those rules and, where possible, to stay at home. I know how worried people are and while this is a great time of turbulence, it is a moment too that the country can come together in that national effort. As the next step in that effort, today we launch nhs volunteers. Were seeking to hundred 50,000 nhs volunteers. Were seeking to hundred 50 , 000 volunteers, nhs volunteers. Were seeking to hundred 50,000 volunteers, people in good health, to help the nhs for shopping and for delivery of medicines, and to support those who are shielded to protect their own health. The nhs volunteer responders isa health. The nhs volunteer responders is a new scheme set up so people can come and help and to make sure that the nhs and the local services that are needed get all the support that they can. Ican they can. I can also they can. I can also announce they can. I can also announce that the call we made at the weekend for people to return to the nhs has been incredibly successful so far. So far, 11,788 people have answered that call. 2660 doctors, over 2500 other Health Professionals and pharmacist and 147 nurses, and i pay tribute to each and every one of those who is returning to the nhs in its hour of need. In addition, from next week, 5500 final year medics and 8700 final year student nurses will move to the frontline to make sure we have the people we need in our nhs to respond to this crisis. In total, thats over 35,000 more staff coming to the nhs when the country needs the nhs most. Finally, ican country needs the nhs most. Finally, i can announce today that we will tweet open a new hospital, a temporary hospital, the nhs Nightingale Hospital at the excel centre in london. The nhs Nightingale Hospital will comprise two wards, each of 2000 people, with the help of the military and with nhs clinicians, we will make sure that we have the capacity that we need so that everyone can get the support that they need. But no matter how big we make the nhs, u nless we matter how big we make the nhs, unless we slow the virus, then, as weve seen, those numbers will continue to rise, and thats why its so important everyone follows the advice and stays at home. The final point i want to make is one of thanks. As health secretary, and as a citizen, and on the half of the whole country, i want to thank the staff of the nhs, those who work in social care, all of you, notjust the doctors and nurses who normally get mentioned but the pharmacist, the paramedics, the manager and all staff across the board, you are the frontline in this war against this virus and we all pay tribute to you. Your going to give your all over the next few weeks, and i want you to know that we salute you and i will strain every sinew to get you everything you need to keep you safe so everything you need to keep you safe so you everything you need to keep you safe so you can everything you need to keep you safe so you can do yourjob keeping all of us safe. Hello, im Katie Shanahan and thank you forjoining us. Well start with the news that this summers tokyo 0lympics have been postponed until next year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Its the first time the olympics have been delayed in their 124 year year history and its now the biggest sporting event to be affected by the virus. Lord coe is the head of the. This is the right decision and its the right decision for the athletes, they are the most Important Group here, and theyve been under intolerable conditions. Many of them are not able to train, many of them are not able to train, many of them are going through real emotional turmoil, but were no different from the rest of the world. We recognise that entirely. But the integrity of the competitions at the Olympic Games was seriously going to be compromised if we tried to force them into the remaining part of this year. Earlier i spoke them into the remaining part of this year. Earlierl spoke to them into the remaining part of this year. Earlier i spoke to justin rose, who won gold in the mens golf for team rose, who won gold in the mens golf forteam gb at rose, who won gold in the mens golf for team gb at rio 2016 and he said the decision was inevitable. Its disappointing when the moment in time comes but its been inevitable. In the last month or so. Inevitable. In the last month or so. The soundbites have been getting more negative about the possibility of the olympics going ahead, so from an athletes point of view, the fact a decision has been made, we can all accepted, i suppose, we realise theres bigger and more important things going on in the world right now and we can adjust our rhythms and training schedules and refocus and set the goals again for 2021. Winning gold in rio was one of your proudest moments of your career you said, so how much were you looking forward to defending your title again this summer . I was massively looking forward to heading to tokyo, my whole family was excited, we were going to make it a family trip. Memories of a lifetime representing tea m memories of a lifetime representing team gb and to come away as 0lympic champion has stayed with me for 3. 5 yea rs. Champion has stayed with me for 3. 5 years. Its been the biggest gift of my career is what ive said. Going into the olympics i didnt know what it meant in terms of the world of golf but being announced on the first tee for the last 3. 5 years as 0lympic gold medallist and olympic champion, and it brings a smile to my mouth every time i hit a ball on the first tee at the start of a tournament and it has stayed with me for a long time. Tournaments come and go every week theres a new wind on tourand and go every week theres a new wind on tour and youre yesterdays news, so on tour and youre yesterdays news, so it was something very different in my career. Where do you keep your gold . I keep it in the house u psta i rs gold . I keep it in the house upstairs in my trophy room, and i dont go in there that often, i try to keep the trophies out of the way of the kids and its here by my side, my old friend here. Its got pride of place upstairs in the trophy room. Looks brilliant and thank you for bringing it along the 0lympics thank you for bringing it along the olympics are going to be held in 2021, and much does that disrupt your schedule . I will make the 0lympics my priority in terms of the summers golf. Its something im going to try to keep plenty of energy in the tank for and its something that will be a huge goal for me. To be honest, my game isnt in the best of shape at the moment, so in the best of shape at the moment, so if in the best of shape at the moment, so if i look back in a year and a half, it could possibly be a blessing in disguise but im assuming the qualification criteria will be shifted a year further down the line, so a lot of hard work still to make sure youre on the team, and a lot of other players and athletes will have the opportunity to qualify. Definitely cant afford to qualify. Definitely cant afford to ta ke to qualify. Definitely cant afford to take ui to qualify. Definitely cant afford to take u of the prize at all. To take u of the prize at all. To ta ke to take u of the prize at all. To take your eyes off the prize at all. The decision also means that the paralympics will be postponed. Ive been speaking to five time gold medalist, Hannah Cockroft who understands the decision and is looking at the positives. 0bviously pretty gutted. Weve been waiting for years for this year to come around, it is the pinnacle of any athletes career but the positive is its not cancelled, just postpone. Ultimately we know everyones health and safety is paramount to some sport, but obviously we need to keep training and we got another year to get fitter and stronger stop got a look at the positives but sad it wont be coming around this year. Theres plenty more reaction and anaylsis on the olympics and paralympics being moved to next year. Just go to the bbc sport website and app. Bye for now. Hello. Tuesday brought us the warmest day of the year so far. For rhyl in north wales, the thermometer got above 19 celsius. Another mild day to come across the uk again today too because we are pulling our air infrom today too because we are pulling our air in from the south and around this western front of this High Pressure here, and a front setting to the north west, just like yesterday, not moving in any great hurry, set to produce greater outbreaks for Northern Ireland and particularly western scotland. Hopefully with help from the Western Hills and mountains through the day, a bit of brightness in the south east of Northern Ireland and across eastern scotland but the cloud and rain will keep things cooler here, so temperatures scraping into double figures. Further south, mid teens once again. Wednesday evening and overnight into thursday, well, the front doesnt really move but it does move enough to allow skies to clear into the north west of scotland, so patchy frost here first thing thursday and with clearer skies further south, frosty start to thursday in south wales, central and southern england. What we essentially have for the next few days is a play off between two areas of High Pressure and our front gets stuck in the fairly fla bby front gets stuck in the fairly flabby bit, shall we say, in between, with nothing really to move it on while the highs and try to balance themselves out. Thursday, here we have the front, not much breeze and so nothing moving on in a great hurry, but tending to lose rainfall on the length of the front because they High Pressure if you like is squeezing the life out of it. The same for friday, a band of cloud are slowly trying to slide its way south across the uk. Chillier to the north of scotland and to the south, perhaps 13 or 14, the north of scotland and to the south, perhaps 13 or14, perhaps the north of scotland and to the south, perhaps 13 or 14, perhaps a bit more cloud here on friday. It ta kes bit more cloud here on friday. It takes until the weekend for the High Pressure from the atlantic to start to wind out. As it does so and pushes its way in, we change our wind direction. No longer a mild southerly, we are plunged into a much chillier northerly or north easterly, so a big change to the way things will feel come the weekend. The chance of showers as well in eastern parts of the weekend and could even turn wintry at times. 0verall, still a lot of fine weather to come in our outlook thanks to the dominance of High Pressure but the biggest change will be the drop off in temperatures for the weekend of. This is bbc news, im ben brown. Our top stories amid warnings that the us could be the next epicentre of the pandemic, President Trump says he hopes that it will soon be business as usual. I hope we can do this by easter. I think that would be a great thing for our country, and were all working very hard to make that a reality. A huge temporary hospital is being builtjust outside london, as britain sees a big jump in the number of coronavirus deaths. India puts more than a billion people into lockdown, as the Prime Minister says it is essential to prevent the country being set back decades
