on the frontline have lost their lives to save others. i don't have an update on the figure of 19 nhs staff who have died, that i gave yesterday, but what i can tell you is that we are looking into each circumstance to understand how they caught the virus, and making sure that we learn as much as we possibly can, and therefore of course protect our health workers as much as possible. according to public health england, the number of people in hospital with coronavirus in london is stabilising. but it's now increasing in places such as the north—west and north—east of england, as well as yorkshire. tannoy: can you all go home, please? it's not a holiday, it's a lockdown. today marks three weeks since lockdown began. it's understood ministers will meet later this week to review the

the sister of sarah trollope, a matron on a psychiatric ward in north—west london who recently died after contracting the virus, gave this poignant message to the public. for me, stay at home, don't let my sister and all the other nhs staff and all the people who have died from this virus, don't let their deaths be in vain. stay at home. with only one day left of the four—day bank holiday weekend, the message remains the same. stay at home, protect the nhs, and save lives. yesterday, borisjohnson was discharged from hospital where he had spent three nights in intensive care. 0ur political correspondent helen cattjoins us now. helen, what do we know about the prime minister's condition? he was released yesterday, discharged from st thomas‘ hospital where he had spent a week.

on twitter, a video message, talking about his experience saying the nhs had saved his life, no question. we got a bit ofa his life, no question. we got a bit of a sense about what stage he got to. he

premise to may have been lucky, many thousands have not with the death toll now surpassing 10,000 people. it will be a big job still for dominic raab who is deputising for the prime minister while he is recuperating at chequers and for the cabinet as they keep trying to tackle this virus. behind every death is a life cut short by a virus unknown to the world just a few months ago. our special

ease some of their lockdown restrictions. in spain, staff working in industries such as manufacturing and construction will be allowed to go back to work from today. italy will also let some businesses re—open from tomorrow, which the government there says is crucial for the economy and for people‘s psychological health. nearly 200 members of the armed forces are being deployed to support ambulance services in england and wales. personnel from all three strands of the armed forces will be sent to work at five ambulance trusts. they will carry out a range of tasks, including driving emergency response vehicles, moving critical care patients between intensive care units and taking calls from the public. the fire brigades union is urging the government to start testing firefighters in england, who are self—isolating because they have symptoms of coronavirus. testing has either started — or been promised — in scotland, wales and northern ireland. here‘s our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. we are supposed to be in lockdown but firefighters still had to deal this fire near bolton, thought to have been caused by a barbecue. and today the firefighters union ‘s warning that the need for staff to isolate themselves is affecting the number of frontline firefighters and controllers. according to the union, the chair is the worst affected with 1296 the chair is the worst affected with 12% fewer staff overall. the london fire brigade is down 10%. that is 472 firefighters and control room staff. the west midlands service is missing 7.5% while the control room at west yorkshire fire service is coping with 16% fewer people. shake it out, make sure it is all work —— opened out. firefighters are taking on new roles so the union wants them tested to get them back to work. it is said in northern ireland 50 firefighters with symptoms have been tested. there are programmes planned in scotland and wales but no firm commitments from the home office in england. we are increasingly frustrated at the approach of central government, to killian westminster. we have progress in scotla nd westminster. we have progress in scotland and it is started in scotland. some in northern ireland. but we have seen no progress from westminster government so far. and it seems to be just left to the fire rescue service it seems to be just left to the fire rescue service to it seems to be just left to the fire rescue service to get on with it or not and that is unacceptable. in a statement, westminster government spokesman said fire services were doing incredible work helping with the crisis and it was working with fire chiefs to ensure they had the resources and support they needed. the post office is to make it easier for those in self—isolation to allow a trusted friend to withdraw cash on their behalf. they‘ll be able to ask their bank for a single—use barcode, which can be exchanged for cash at a post office branch. the scheme, which is already in place for named carers, aims to stop the vulnerable from handing over a bank card and pin. one of the world‘s best known opera singers, andrea bocelli, has performed a live concert outside milan‘s deserted cathedral. # amazing grace, how sweet the sound... the tenor‘s music for hope concert was streamed live around the world. he performed several hymns including ave maria and as you‘ve been hearing, amazing grace. restrictions may be easing for some businesses in parts of europe, but italy‘s government has told the bbc that others will not be allowed to fully reopen until a vaccine is found. restaurants and bars face the most uncertainty and some have already collapsed since the lockdown began five weeks ago. 0ur europe correspondentjean mackenzie reports from rome. the tables still set for meals that never served. tro built this for the people of rome to meet, eat and play music. but it has been five weeks since every restaurant in italy was shut down and as the lockdown drags on, she is preparing to close for good. and this is the reality. when shops and businesses are reopened, it will be gradual and the places where you can‘t keep your distance will be last. we can't have a concert, we can‘t have a cinema. last. we can't have a concert, we can't have a cinema. what about bars and restaurants? now is impossible to imagine restaurants can reopen until they discover a vaccine, it is impossible to imagine that you can return to a normal life. in the meantime, the government is offering loa ns to meantime, the government is offering loans to keep them going but these businesses are struggling to see their place in socially distant future and fear that other time they are allowed to reopen, the damage done will be so great it will be irreversible. this large bar now resembles a ghost ship, another business on the edge. how busy does it get? it is good, the last year, yeah. now nothing. and while this country waits to be reopened, its streets are silently being redrawn. the places which give it so much of its sole most at risk. —— soul. jean mackenzie, bbc news. support packages worth tens of billions of pounds have been announced by the government to try and ease the economic damage of the pandemic. the treasury says those who don‘t qualify will be able to access a range of other measures but many businesses and workers who‘ve lost theirjobs say they‘ve not received enough support. our business correspondent, katy austin, has been speaking to some of them. asking for help to ride out the pandemic. schemes include enabling millions of employees to be followed and helped by the state to pay wages. grants for millions of self—employed people. and a range of other measures but many firms and workers tell us they fall through the cracks, including junior, previously self—employed, he started a newjob in mid march but it seems been made redundant and started too late. we have been trying to make phone calls to universal credit. my wife is on statutory maternity leave. i now have no salary and is not the best time to be looking for a job right now. sole director of ltd co m pa ny a job right now. sole director of ltd company this man hoped the scheme would apply. ltd company this man hoped the scheme would applylj ltd company this man hoped the scheme would apply. i do not have a premises. the payroll scheme applies but in incredibly limited way. if i do not take it and furlough myself, the business is still likely to fail. this tiny caterer is in the same position. i do face the reality i may not be able to keep my business going. i would like to see the net being widened by local authorities to include businesses based in mixed used buildings. the business interruption land scheme has been revamped following criticism but this tech company, headbutt supply issues in asia says three banks have turned it down because it is not yet profitable. we are facing significant liquidity prices. we need support from the government. otherwise we need to be looking at really changing all our plans and making significant cuts. make no mistake, the support packages are huge, unprecedented and complex and attempt to help as many firms as possible survive and protect millions of incomes but the least of those are still cannot access least of those are still cannot a ccess a ny least of those are still cannot access any 01’ least of those are still cannot access any or enough support is much longer than we have been able to mention here and those who can say the crucial thing now is that money gets to them quickly enough. the crisis will inevitably damage businesses. 0ne crisis will inevitably damage businesses. one of the many unknowns is how much of that can be prevented. katy austin, bbc news. let‘s take a look at today‘s papers: boris johnson features on many of the front pages today. the daily mail says his first appearance since leaving hospital is an "easter picture to cheer us all". "bojo‘s angels" is the sun‘s take on the prime minister‘s emotional video message, after he named two of the nhs nurses he credits with saving his life. he said jenny mcgee and luis pitarma, both pictured on the front page, cared for him at his bedside for 48 hours. the guardian says criticism of the government‘s handling of the pandemic is mounting. it says there are concerns about the "failure" to supply front—line medics and care home workers with enough protective equipment. and online, the most viewed item on the bbc news website is an extract from our exclusive interview with microsoft founder, bill gates — which we showed you yesterday. in the interview, he said we are "in uncharted territory" due to a lack of investment and preparation. if you have not seen that interview go and look at it on the website because it is fascinating to get an insight from him about the concentration of the vaccine and how important that might be. let‘s look inside as well? a lot of people have taken up gardening. gardening blooms as we dig for victory, they say. a spike in enquiries about growing vegetables, comp costing. composting a p pa re ntly vegetables, comp costing. composting apparently has been increased by nearly 500%. some councils have stop doing green bean collections. my green bean has been stuck forlornly four weeks. so many people have died over the last few weeks because of coronavirus and this is sad news about the goodies. 79. they are just talking about lots of tribute to him paid and we will be talking about him later. it is a bit of an age thing but the goodies were funny, fun and so much affection held for him. a picture of michael gove jogging him. a picture of michael gove jogging ina him. a picture of michael gove jogging in a park in london. he is due to come out of isolation... 0ne of his children had been out. some suggestion he had been breaking the rule but actually, a clarification in the article that the test had been negative on one of his children so been negative on one of his children so he will be able to come out and come back to work. in a few minutes be talking about how your easter was. so many people normally have family around for easter but people doing different things. we did an easter egg hunt around the dining room which was not very challenging for three teenage boys but theyjust wa nted for three teenage boys but theyjust wanted the easter eggs so it was fine. the government has welcomed the public‘s efforts to stay at home this weekend, and for sticking to strict social distancing rules, despite the warm weather. dan johnson went out to see for himself. it has been strangely quiet we can right across the country. rarely other streets of the capital empty like this. our motorways were almost abandoned as people overwhelmingly listen to the police to stay close to home. this is what service stations now look like. we were about the only ones stopping. blackpool people were out and about but mostly sticking to the rules. there‘s a lot more people out exercising. but people are listening and taking our advice. hastings was extremely quiet for a sunny bank holiday. on a sunday, normally this place is heaving. george is 69 years old and vulnerable. i come out every day get a bit of fresh air but never get out of my scooter because i am safe in here. it is like the walking dead. all the restaurants close. people were having some drinks and they think it is an idea to go to they think it is an idea to go to the playground but some idiots think it is ok. i lost my uncle last tuesday to covid—19, 68, no underlying health conditions so, you know, i just want to stay safe as possible. and then, just around the harbour, and upside down world delivered some new arrivals. 29 migrants thought to herself from france in a boat no designed for social distancing. it is a reminder of the range of challenges our emergency services face. these are upturned difficult days and there are surely more to come. dan johnson, bbc news. it‘s certainly been an easter with a difference this year. so we‘d love to hear about the unusual things you‘ve been doing this weekend. you had the easter egg hunt in your living room... it will not make it to the telly, it was not that exciting. we want to know what you have been doing. verity in blackburn sent us these lovely pictures of easter messages painted on windows — and nic in manchester is celebrating baby seth‘s very first easter. look at those bunny ears! look, what a cutie pie. we would love to hear what you have been able to. if you have done something special, something different. absolutely. lots of people have been camping in the back garden, even the mpjess phillips got in on the act and set up a pub in her kitchen. that is a good idea. my kitchen serves as a pub most of the year, to be honest. so tell us about your "alternative easter". we‘d love to know what you‘ve been up to make your bank holiday weekend under lockdown a little bit different. email your pictures and videos to bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk or tweet us using the hashtag bbcbreakfast. and we‘ll do our best to show them later in the programme. it seems the lockdown has been largely observed. we will talk to a police chief later. but will it get colder, sarah? yes, we have much colder air in place. temperatures yesterday up to 25 degrees in the london but today only 12 degrees. your easter monday feeling much colder than recent days but mainly dry and a bit of sunshine to be enjoyed out of your window or in your garden. we have this cold air mass, cool northerly winds coming in, right across the british isles. the woman‘s conditions was the far south—west. particularly across eastern scotland and other east coast of england, you notice the breeze, whence coming in of the fairly chilly north sea. that is scotla nd fairly chilly north sea. that is scotland and eastern england. more sunshine for the west for wales, northern ireland, south—west scotland. warmer spots up to 14 degrees. but down to the east coast, typically six celsius. things turning chilly for the evening and overnight. clear skies and light winds overnight. you can see colours returning. that shows where we are likely to see a frost first thing tomorrow morning. if you have been doing gardening, bear that in mind. another largely dry date tomorrow. not so much of a breeze compared to today but still some cloud and bruising conditions across east anglia and at the far south—east and more cloud drifting in two the far west. we have lost the windshield around the east coast by tomorrow. this area of high pressure stays as we head to the middle part of the week keeping things dominantly try and settled into wednesday. if that is to actuate was the continent but we will see just a few weather fronts pushing and so a little bit more cloud for north—west scotland but it should stay dry across the board on thursday. light winds and more sunshine as well. temperatures to nudge up again once we get to wednesday. typically in the mid— teens. it would not be frosty overnight. things start to change a little bit towards the end of the week. low pressure developing down towards the bay of biscay, elsewhere, high pressure still holding on. a predominantly try and settle day and fairly light winds. the chance of showers starting to from the south—west. we are back into the high teens and possibly the low 20s by the time we get to thursday. still a little bit cooler when you have the cloud across the northern parts of scotland. a mixed picture but don‘t forget, whatever the weather, it does not change the rules on social distancing and staying at home wherever you can. stay with us, headlights coming up next. —— headlines. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. it's 6:28. we‘ll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning, have you become more aware of birds and other wildlife? we‘ll find out how spotting and listening to nature can be good for your spirits. we‘ll hearfrom one mum and her son who has autism, about how more time spent together at home has helped his condition and brought them closer as a family. the green goddess lifts our spirits with another work—out, showing us how she remains fit and healthy during lockdown. the uk is facing its fourth week in lockdown, with the government set to review by thursday whether social distancing measures can be changed. ministers are required by law to assess whether the rules are working, based on expert advice, after three weeks of telling britons to stay at home. the number of deaths in the uk caused by the coronavirus outbreak has now reached more than 10,000. borisjohnson is recuperating at his country residence, chequers, after spending a week in hospital suffering from covid—19. in a video message, the prime minister paid tribute to the nhs, saying there is "no question" staff at st thomas‘ hospital in london saved his life. he thanked two nurses who stood by his bedside for 48 hours — when, he said, things could have gone either way. the two european countries worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic, italy and spain, are beginning to ease some of their lockdown restrictions. in spain, staff working in industries such as manufacturing and construction will be allowed to go back to work from today. italy will also let some businesses re—open from tomorrow, which the government there says is crucial for the economy and for people‘s psychological health. in these unusual and unsettling times, we are trying to give you answers every day because the question is change. you have been sending in your question is all about coronavirus and we are trying to get to the bottom of some of those. so we will talk to a gp from derbyshire, doctor gail allsopp is with us. good morning. thank you for taking the time to talk to us on brea kfast taking the time to talk to us on breakfast this morning. the first question, you are working remotely like a lot of gps at the moment, taking a lot of video calls, how busy are you? you have to remember as well that gps are open over the bank holiday, like today, i was working on good friday, and it is very busy in a general practice. we are seeing our covert patients and looking after them remotely and also seeing them face—to—face. but we are looking after all the other diseases which is really, really important for stab your heart attacks and angina, copd breathing problems don't go away because covid—19 is around. difficult i'm sure to put a percentage on it, but how, what sort of percentage of the cars, consultations that you do at the moment would you say are covid—19 related? i think that varies from day to day, increasingly we are seeing more and more covid—19 related cars but the underlying disease calls are staying the same. we are getting busier and busier. that is an interesting point because there is a thought that many people are not calling their gp because they know you are very busy at the moment and they don‘t want to bother you with things that they think are trivial that they might normally come to you with i suppose the m essa g es come to you with i suppose the messages please, we are still here and we want to hear from you? we absolutely are still here and we definitely want to hear from you. if it isa definitely want to hear from you. if it is a minor self—limiting illness, if you can self care, please do come at the pharmacies are also open and can help you with minor ailments. if you would usually contact us for what you are suffering from, please contact us. it is really important because the healthier you are now, if you then catch covid—19, hopefully the better you will re cover hopefully the better you will recover from that. however the ways in which you are working changed and how successfully is that working? very difficult times, very different times and are literally over the space of a week we went from seeing people face—to—face to talking to them on the phone, triaging everyone by telephone. and converting a lot of course to video call. i have done a lot of work by video which is the first time we have done that in my practice. and we are still visiting people at home, still seeing people. what we do now, we have our full ppe on which makes it difficult because people can't see the subtle communication we do. one of the things we pride ourselves on is the relationship we have with patience which is incredibly difficult with a mask and goggles on. returning to that in a moment. 0n the point of the video calls, do you find the clarity of the image you are able to look at is sufficient for you to be able to do the job in the way you would want to do it? it varies. for the vast majority of things we deal with, absolutely the image is excellent and i did a very difficult to call on friday with a family who needed some quite personal guidance from a traumatic issue they were dealing with. but when it comes to things like skin lesions, if it comes to rashes, we also have the availability to send photographs, we all have e—mail addresses, but we are seeing people. i did call in on several people to check their infection, rash they had to make sure we are not missing something. we are not sending everyone away, we are notjust treating people remotely. that is important because listening to you speak then, clarifying you will go out if needed, the worry is that you might miss something over a video that you wouldn‘t miss face—to—face. as you say you are still doing that. and it is really important that all gps are working in this way so we make sure we are doing the bestjob we can do ourjob has not really changed, we are still there for the patients and every single thing they need. it is so every single thing they need. it is so important we trying to make sure... you mentioned ppe. by the sounds of it it seems you have what you need. has that been easy to get hold of? the big issue, i think we've heard this across the news, is the supply chain. we have some in the supply chain. we have some in the practice at the moment, we are waiting for our eye protection to arrive. we have asked for more and we are told at the moment we are still waiting for is that we were supposed to be registering with a new logistics company but that hasn't happened. but we are working together in general practice and it sharing some of our ppe so if one practices running low, we give some of ours to them and vice versa. at the moment in derbyshire we are ok and we hope that the logistics are sited out very soon so we don't have to end up running out of anything. there was a discussion about the reusability of the ppe. are you to recycle it? i don't think the issue was reusing it, it was using it in the way it should be used, so public health england gave us clear guidance tells us clearly what we need to use and when. and how. and i think most of us as doctors and nurses are following back to the letter. we are not going to reuse things and put our lives at risk to reuse things but we will follow the guidance that we have been given which is based on the best evidence. we really grateful for you to talking to us this thank you for getting up to speak to us on the television. and thank you for all your questions. today we are looking for if you did something different at this easter than you normally would have? it is such a time for being with families, but what did you have to do differently because of the situation we are in? so many families keeping in touch with video calls. quite a lot of the call is about who can see who. my father has never engaged with technology. about who can see who. my father has never engaged with technologym about who can see who. my father has never engaged with technology. is he doing it? no. but we can talk on the phone! talking about somebody who is a legend inspired... icon, legend, and one of formula 1‘s greatest ever drivers — just some of the ways sir stirling moss is being remembered. for generations he was the big name in motorsport. he won 16 of the 66 f1 races he competed in from 1951 to ‘61, becoming the first british driver to win a home grand prix in 1955 at aintree. moss was a four—time runner—up in the drivers championship before being named bbc sports personality of the year in 1961 and was then knighted in 2000. he died yesterday aged 90 after a long illness. he was the most dynamic, most charismatic racing driver i think that there has ever been. he walked like a racing driver, he talked like a racing driver and he looked like a racing driver. and of course he never did win the world championship only because he always wanted to drive a british car, and at that time the italians and the germans were all—powerful. but the loss of stirling moss to the world of motorsport is a great loss and, really, for me, he was my ultimate hero. six—time f1 world champion lewis hamilton also paid tribute — saying: "today we say goodbye to sir stirling moss, the racing legend. i certainly will miss our conversations. i am truly grateful to have had these special moments with him." ferrari paid tribute: "rip sirstirling. a true legend and a wonderful person. he was a formidable opponent." and his presence was felt beyond motor sport. former heavyweight boxing world champion frank bruno tweeted: "i am very saddened to hear the passing of sir stirling moss. he privately supported me over many years and was an amazing driver in his time, he will be greatly missed." we will be talking more about stirling moss throughout the programme. more sad news to bring you i‘m afraid. the former chelsea and england goalkeeper peter bonetti has died at the age of 78 after a long illness. he played 729 times for chelsea, who have described him as one of the sports all time greats. he also had seven caps for england including, famously, this one in the 1970 world cup quarter final defeat to west germany. to another twist in the voting saga in scottish football. the spfl — who run the top divisions — have again been accused of using underhand tactics around its vote to end the season. hearts, who are bottom of the premiership, say the spfl tried to "unduly influence the outcome of the vote" by insisting their resolution had to be passed in order to release funds to clubs. hearts say they‘ll now propose a temporary restructuring of the leagues to ensure "no club is financially penalised". rangers want an independent investigation and the spfl chief executive suspended. now, the coronavirus means there is huge uncertainty over the upcoming transfer window with football at a standstill. however, tottenham insist they won‘t sell captain harry kane this summer. the striker recently said he might need to move if the club don‘t win trophies. manchester united have been linked with kane. tottenham were one of the first premier league teams to furlough staff and it was suggested chairman daniel levy was open to a transfer if he could get a fee of around £200 million. football is at a standstill across the whole of europe — apart from in belarus. their prime minister says he‘s not worried about the coronavirus. well, standby for this as bate moved into the top half of their top division with a 3—0 win at minsk, their third goal going in direct from a corner. not sure if he really meant that, but we will let you decide. a bit of a lucky one there! there could be a change at the top of world rugby after former argentinian international agustin pichot said he will run against chairman bill beaumont. the former england captain beaumont has been in charge for the last four years. his re—election in may was expected to be a formality, but pichot, who‘s worked alongside him all that time, has decided to put himself forward. and before we go — we‘ve seen many sports stars set challenges for us to try at home during the pandemic. we have seen the toilet roll challenge, different dance challenges. well, the world and olympic champion gymnast simone biles is no different. can we do this? it has been viewed over10 can we do this? it has been viewed over 10 million times. apparently hundreds of people are online making their own videos trying to take off their own videos trying to take off their own videos trying to take off their own jogging bottoms was standing on their hands. i would say, be careful at home. you don‘t wa nt to say, be careful at home. you don‘t want to be taking a trip to hospital at this time. that looks pretty dangerous to me. leave it to these specialists. that is very impressive is that i will not be trying that at home. it isjust showing off, isn't it? all of us have felt a disruption to our daily routine and as more of us live and work from the comfort of home, it‘s crucial that essential services keep running. 0ur chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, has been to sizewell b power station in suffolk, to see how britain‘s electricity companies are making sure the lights stay on. the routine checks chemist rochelle grimmer is making help ensure sizewell b nuclear power station continues to run smoothly. it provides electricity to more than 2 million british homes. day—to—day tasks are a bit more laborious, says rochelle. obviously, washing hands multiple times a day is a big one. we work a lot with gloves in our chemistry section, so changing those frequently, and, obviously, complying with our social distancing at all times. here on the suffolk coast, sizewell says it started putting in place its pandemic plan over two months ago, before the first coronavirus cases were even reported in the uk. we have effectively got half of the normal staff complement here at the moment. we have split them into two teams. one is sat operating the power plant, as we are here today, the other is at home, safe and isolated. and in the eventuality we did see some sickness on site, the other team would be ready to come in and maintain operation. the nuclear reactor is below this dome. the overriding priority is to make sure nothing goes wrong in alarm. so what happens just if there is an issue with international shipping and the power station can‘t get supplies? the early stages of our plan, which we enacted two months ago, is to build up our commodities and spare stock levels. so we are ready for this. we don‘t need to refuel this power station until 2021. so don‘t worry, your electricity dependent lockdown lifestyle isn‘t at threat any time soon. justin rowlatt, bbc news, suffolk. it is coming up to 6:45am and good morning, easter monday. by simply opening your window an hour before sunrise, we can all enjoy a slice of nature without even leaving the house. the dawn chorus is a fantastic way to learn about the great outdoors and breakfast‘s john maguire has been finding out how technology allows us to to keep a close eye on the wildlife that surrounds us. birdsong. on a normal day, naturalist ed druitt would never dream of trying to record birdsong in his front garden, next to a busy road in the forest of dean. but these aren‘t ordinary days. as the noise we make declines, the volume of the natural world seems to have reached 11. compared to three weeks ago, now, because we have got quieter roads, we have quieter neighbourhoods, one thing that we are doing now is perhaps noticing much more about what‘s going on around us with nature. so, at the moment, normally, here, there would be lots of lorries going past, cars going past. yet, instead, all i can hear are blackbirds and robins singing. whether you are in the middle of an urban area or in the countryside, there is still plenty to see and hear. the dawn chorus, at the moment, is around 6:45—6 in the morning. so it‘s the perfect time to be listening for all the birds singing at the same time. yes, this is a really exciting time of the year. this is a busy time of year for mark glanville as he prepares for the return of swifts to the uk at the end of this month. tucked under the eaves of his house in bristol, mark‘s home—made swift boxes are rigged with tiny cameras, so that he can watch and share online images of the nesting. so anybody out there who is stuck in because of this lockdown, here is an ideal opportunity to do something like this and get close up to nature in their very own house. the internet is full of such nest—cams. a big brotherfor birders and, also, a way for people who are isolating or locked down to connect with nature. if you are going out on your daily exercise, set yourself a challenge. there is lots of birdsong on the internet. try to listen to one and try to identify it and set yourself a goal each day to identify a new bird call every day. i‘m doing that. every morning, when we go out for a walk, he says, "what‘s that bird?" and i get it wrong quite often. and i‘m trying. i‘m getting there gradually. less traffic and more time on our hands means the chance to look around like never before, no matter where you are. if you‘ve got time and you can look out the window, when swifts come back, try and find out where they are nesting. look underneath roof tiles, even in flats. there are little nooks and crannies that swifts are in. it is lovely watching them go back to the nest. few of us will look back on this time with any fondness. but there are some opportunities to learn, to discover and to make new friends. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. we were talking about robbins. i have a friendly one right next to the kitchen, next to the kitchen window. it is building a nest. you can see him coming and going. it isa pair, you can see him coming and going. it is a pair, actually. very tuneful. they say robins represent a spirit. i don‘t know. what have you been noticing, let us know. a group of bikers from bodmin in cornwall have been helping vulnerable people by delivering essential shopping and medication to those who can‘t make it to the shops. the idea started grew, so did the number of willing volunteers. patrick clahane can tell us more. travelling on cornwall‘s now empty roads, these bikers are on a mission. i‘m guy, i work in the emergency services and iformed bodmin bikers. bodmin bikers is a delivery team for medication from doctors surgeries to pharmacies. we are also a food delivery, so if you need your essentials, bread, milk. do you know what? we haven‘t had any pasty deliveries yet. the group don‘t charge for delivery and were set up to help vulnerable people stuck at home unable to get essentials. we have been trying to self—isolate as much as possible and go out as little as possible, and sarah, my partner, she suffers quite badly with asthma as well. so, as a family, we havejust, yes, tried to keep ourselves to ourselves as much as possible and these gentlemen make it so much easier. just goes to show that in this community and, well, in cornwall in general, people do help each other as much as they can and do what they can for one another. since starting just a couple of weeks ago, 18 people have now volunteered, including a chef, plumber and supermarket worker. i am brandon, aka spider—man, part of bodmin bikers. people see us riding around, they wave at us and it was really nice to go out, make people happy, make them laugh and ijust thought, you know, giving people a bit of happiness while we are in this pandemic at the moment. the gang are a mix of ages, including one who has onlyjust got his bike licence. lam dan, i'm16, and i'm from the bodmin bikers. i think at this point i've probably done everything. medication, food, essentials. even though they didn‘t know each other until recently, it seems they will be riding together long after the lockdown. after this is all over, i think we are going to go out on a ride out. i think we are one big family and we will stick together, definitely. patrick clahane, bbc news, bodmin. we‘ve enlisted diana moran, better known as the green goddess, to help us all stay active while we‘re staying indoors. here she is to kick—start your week with another gentle routine. good morning, everybody, another week of these extraordinary times. now, how are your knees today? an awful lot of people complain about their knees, especially as they get a little bit older, or maybe they‘ve been doing a lot of sport, perhaps overdoing it. so just some simple little exercises today to help the supporting muscles, the muscles that support the knee. sojust sitting nice and comfortably, perhaps to the front of your chair a little bit, justjust lift your leg, using that quadriceps muscle which, i said before, is a really important muscle to keep us mobile as the years go on. i have put my toes up towards me and i am holding that for ten seconds. that‘s good. let‘s just do the other one. straighten out the leg. very simple, today. pull up the toes and strengthen. you feel this quadricep working. and now we are going to stretch out the muscle, so same foot again, forward. toes uppermoost, again. toes uppermost, again. sit up first of all. breathe in, breathe out. incline your body forward. and feel the stretch in your hamstrings. that‘s good. hold the stretches for five to ten seconds. let‘s go to the other foot. take it out. bring the toes up. breathe in. as you breathe out, over you got and feel... over you go and feel... only you know it. you feel the stretch there. now, we are just going to strengthen the muscles that are supporting the knees. and we get to do a little bit of stepping up. you can do this at the bottom of your stairs or outside, going in and out of your house. so up and down. that‘s it. just simply up and down. it‘s also quite good aerobic exercise, making you use your cardiovascular system. that‘s it. just a few more. and then, finally today, we will do some squats. just taking the support from this little tree. that‘s it. and back. good. so we are strengthening those muscles which, hopefully, will help prevent any pain in your knees. keep fit and carry on! you could do yourself an injury! says he who has injured himself doing joe wicks. that is gentle and nice. it wasn‘t the fault ofjoe wicks, it was me being exuberant, in competition with another person. icame off competition with another person. i came off worse. stars of british comedy have been paying tribute to entertainer tim brooke—taylor, who died yesterday from coronavirus. in a career spanning 60 years, he was best known as one third of the popular 19705 show the goodies and as a panellist on i‘m sorry i haven‘t a clue on radio 4. we‘ll be hearing from somebody who knew him well, rory bremner, later in the programme, but first let‘s take a look at some of the highlights from tim brooke—taylor‘s career. we are the goodies. yes, we know that. and we are going to do good to people. # goodies, goody—goody yum yum. we had it tough. i used to have to get out of shoe box at midnight, lick road clean, eat a couple of bits of coal gravel, work 23 hours a day at mill for a penny every four years, and, when we got home, dad used to slice us in half with a bread knife. the infuriating itch and you have to scratch. then the itching, it starts to spread down the shoulders. suddenly, it stops and you feel fine. it is at this moment that the left arm drops off. your chair collapses. and the standard lamp falls on your head. are we going to stand by and watch england‘s green and pleasant land... no! i am now telling the computer that if it will tell me the correct answer, i will gladly share with it the grand prize. he says, "what would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?" # the funky gibbon. # we are here to show you how. # ooh, ooh, ooh! # the funky gibbon. # just like you, so come on do the funky gibbon now. i remember that. ithink i remember that. i think we are showing our age. the papers are full of tributes. lots of lovely tributes. he sounded like a very warm and generous man. bill 0ddie said nobody wore silly costu mes bill 0ddie said nobody wore silly costu m es or bill 0ddie said nobody wore silly costumes or did dangerous stunts like tim. i know it hurt because he used to cry a lot. it is time to look at the weather. sarah. good morning. good morning, we have a different feeling day on easter monday. yesterday, temperatures got up to 25 in london but today in london, typically 12 degrees. across the british isles cold air is moving in. this is the picture as the sun rises over the hill there. and many areas more cloudy. colder across the board but mainly dry today. one or two showers this morning, but we have the colder northerly wind drawing in an ms from the north so the blue colours pushing mild air down towards the south—west. where they meet, we have showers on a weak cold front, in the midlands, pushing away and they should fizzle away in the next few hours. for most, a dry picture. more cloud in eastern scotland and east coast of england. temperatures here 6-9. coast of england. temperatures here 6—9. feeling colder in the breeze. the warmest spots down towards plymouth. as we move through this evening and overnight, the temperatures will drop off quickly with

turn unsettled towards the end of this week and into the weekend. the headline shortly. good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: the number of coronavirus deaths passes 10,000, as the uk enters its fourth week of lockdown. out of hospital and grateful to be alive. the prime minister recuperates at his country residence chequers. the two worst hit european countries, italy and spain, are easing some of their lockdown restrictions. tributes are paid to one of formula 0ne‘s greats. sir sterling moss was regarded as the best driver never to win the world title. he passed away aged 90. it‘s easter monday, 13th april. our top story. the uk is facing its fourth week in lockdown, with the government set to review by thursday whether social distancing measures can be changed. the number of deaths in the uk caused by the coronavirus outbreak has now reached more than 10,000. 0ur correspondent leigh milner reports. the faces of those who have died from coronavirus. described by the health secretary as the invisible killer, which has now taken a more than 10,000 lives in the uk. among them, health care workers like dr edmond adedeji who was based in swindon. questions are now being asked just how many on the front line have lost their lives to save others. i don‘t have an update on the figure of 19 nhs staff who have died that i gave yesterday. but what i can tell you is that we are looking into each circumstance to understand how they caught the virus and making sure that we learn as much as we possibly can and therefore, of course, protect our health workers as much as possible. according to public health england, the number of people in hospital with coronavirus in london is stabilising, but it is now increasing in places such as the north—west and north—east of england as well as yorkshire. can you all go home, please? it is not a holiday. it is a lockdown. today marks three weeks since lockdown began. it is understood that ministers will meet later this week to review the social distancing measures. despite the warm bank holiday weekend, the streets of london where empty and motorways almost abandoned as people listened to the pleas to stay close to home. yesterday the sister of sara trollope, a matron on a psychiatric ward in north west london who recently died after contracting the virus, gave this poignant message to the public. for me, stay at home, don‘t let my sister and all the other nhs staff and all the people that have died from this virus, don‘t let their deaths be in vain, stay at home. with only one day left of the four—day bank holiday weekend, the message the same. stay at home, protect the nhs save lives. borisjohnson is recuperating at chequers after suffering from covid—19. in a video message, he paid tribute to the nhs, particularly mentioning two and nurses, jenny mcgee from new zealand and luis from particle. jenny‘s pa rents and luis from particle. jenny‘s parents talked about their daughter. it makes us feel exceptionally proud, obviously, but she has told us these things over the years and it doesn't matter what patient she is looking after, this is what she does and ijust find it incredible that any nurses can do this for 12 hours, sit and watch a patient and twiddle away with all the different knobs and things they do to keep their patients alive. it is absolutely amazing. and lovely to hear from the parents as well. our political correspondent helen catt joins us now. tell us about the important decisions to come and it may be the government will look at these lockdown conditions? by lah, these lockdown conditions? by lah, the government has to have a review of whether the lockdown restrictions are still necessary. by thursday. that is because the bit of legislation that gives the power the police to enforce them, it is written in that the necessity has to be reviewed every 21 days and by the thursday 16th april, the first one has to be done by then, looked at by the secretary of state matt hancock. it doesn't say what that review, what form it has to take. this government says it will look at the data, medical data from the scientific advisers and that would be available earlier this week. there is the things coming out in the next few days. it was because borisjohnson is going to be at chequers recuperating on medical advice, it will still be dominic rab who is leading the government in his absence, deputising, along with the cabinet they will be looking at the sight of decisions because we are very much in the middle of this pandemic so whilst it is very welcome news to a lot of people that borisjohnson has got better or is recuperating, we have a stark reminder yesterday that for a lot of people, more than 10,000 people, that was not the case so there are lots of big decisions to be made whilst the prime minister recuperates. thank you very much. nearly 200 members of the armed forces are being deployed to support ambulance services in england and wales. personnel from all three strands of the armed forces will be sent to work at five ambulance trusts. they will carry out a range of tasks, including driving emergency response vehicles, moving critical care patients between intensive care units and taking calls from the public. the fire brigades union is urging the government to start testing firefighters in england, who are self—isolating because they have symptoms. testing has either started — or been promised — in scotland, wales and northern ireland. here‘s our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. we are supposed to be in lockdown, but firefighters still had to deal this fire near bolton, thought to have been caused by a barbecue. and today the firefighters union is warning that the need for staff to isolate themselves is affecting the number of frontline firefighters and controllers. according to the union, bedfordshire is the worst affected with 12% fewer staff overall. the london fire brigade is down 10%. that is 472 firefighters and control room staff. the west midlands service is missing 7.5%, while the control room at west yorkshire fire service is coping with 16% fewer people. shake it out, make sure it is all opened out. fire servicces are taking on new roles in the crisis so the union wants staff tested to get them back to work. it says in northern ireland 50 firefighters with symptoms have been tested. there are programmes planned in scotland and wales, but there are no firm commitments from the home office in england. i think we‘re increasingly frustrated at the approach of central government, particularly in westminster. we‘ve got some progress in scotland, some testing of firefighters starting in scotland. some in northern ireland. but we‘ve seen no progress from the westminster government so far. and it seems to be just left to the fire and rescue service to get on with it or not — and that is not unacceptable. in a statement, a westminster government spokesman said fire services were doing incredible work helping with the crisis and it was working with fire chiefs to ensure they had the resources and support they needed. the two european countries worst hit by the pandemic, italy and spain, are easing some of the lockdown restrictions that were imposed several weeks ago to try to stop the disease spreading. let‘s get the latest on the situation across the continent with our correspondent damien mcguinness in berlin. damien, how significant are these changes? it isa it is a big step for europe because these countries are really hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. what will happen today is spain is going to open instruction and manufacturing and similar sectors to get people back to work and get the economy going again. italy is also going to allow some businesses to reopen from tomorrow. italy has already started some aspects of manufacturing over the past week. really the aim for both governments is to get the economy is going but the challenge is how you do that while preventing a fresh outbreak of the pandemic. these measures are controversial, particularly in spain where this is a decision taken by central government in madrid but the catalonian government has called it irresponsible for supper difficulty is you need economies to get going because people's livelihoods ben defend on the businesses. you have to go into a maastricht lockdown again. what is the case in both countries is the lockdown movement between contact and strict measures there are about not being allowed to go outside unless strictly necessary are very much still in place and thatis are very much still in place and that is going to last for another couple of weeks at the east. what they are trying to do is get the economy moving again and that is the challenge facing all european countries. thank you very much indeed. the number of people who‘ve died in the uk, after being diagnosed with coronavirus, has now passed 10,000. after one of the scientific advisers said we are on course to be one of the worst affected countries in europe, let‘s discuss how well prepared in the uk was for the outbreak. we are joined prepared in the uk was for the outbreak. we arejoined by prepared in the uk was for the outbreak. we are joined by chris hobson that the chief executive of nhs providers in england and by sam monaghan, the chief executive of mha ca re monaghan, the chief executive of mha care homes. thank you for talking to us this morning. chris, to you first of all. you are quoted today in one of all. you are quoted today in one of the paper saying in terms of personal protective equipment it has become hand to mouth situation in this country now. how bad is it? the nhs has had about ten weeks to prepare and the vast majority of preparations have gone really well. we have created 3000 extra beds to treat coronavirus patients, that is the equivalent of creating 50 district hospitals. you will see the creation of the nightingale hospital is, we saw all the pictures of the chinese hospitals being built on a fortnight in the uk has done the same. it is a slight misquote, i am not saying that ppe is hand to mouth, what i am saying is the areas we mouth, what i am saying is the areas we represent is the vast majority of the ppe items they need are arriving on time afteran the ppe items they need are arriving on time after an initial hiccup. sorry, the quote... chris... sorry to interrupt, let me read to you, because it is a full quote. it says, it has all been a bit hand to mouth, the heart of the problem is getting back to stock that was ordered weeks ago from china is proving somewhat erratic. it then talks about checks being made in china, checks that have to be made here, the fact it is not flowing as well as it should. you said that, did you? what i basically said is if you look at the range of personal protective equipment that needs to be on the front line, aprons, gloves, gowns, nearly all of that material is flowing in the way the trusts would like, trust leaders are telling us they have the vast majority of equipment. the bit where there is a particular problem was gowns where we now over particular problem was gowns where we now over the last 72 hours a summer trusts have run critically low on stocks. what has happened is as always is the case on these occasions, the nhs has mobilised. no trust as i am aware has actually run out, but some of these stocks are very low. what we have done is mobilising as fast as we can to get these stocks distributed as effectively as possible. what i specifically saying is one of the constraints the nhs is working under an gowns is the supply that is coming from china is pretty erratic and it is causing problems. why is it erratic and how can that be solved? effectively what happens is as you can imagine, every single country in the world is currently chasing gowns. china is one of the very few places that has got access to the fluid repellent textile and one of the few countries in the world at about has the volume of production. what happened was as exactly as you would expect con nhs ordered a whole load of stocks from china weeks ago but what has happened, the chinese want to test the equipment before it comes over, that adds a delay. we know some boxes have been labelled as gowns but when you look inside they have got masks and they also need to pass the uk's stringent safety test and we the uk's stringent safety test and we know that some consignments have failed. clearly, if everything had been flowing as had been ordered and if all of the material had been properly passed in the safety test, there would not be an issue. but there would not be an issue. but there is an issue. some trusts are running short, so what we're doing is mobilising, doing three things was that we have made emergency deliveries to those trusts are running short, i talked to some yesterday, is and those have arrived. we are also saying if you do have some spare, please share with your neighbours because that is one of the advantages of being in the national health service. certainly, there is another down alternative which is a coverall which is a gown with a hard and we have found and released a 200,000 of those to trusts. what the point i make is this is all really hand to mouth in terms of gown delivery and what we need to get you. everybody recognises this. we need to get to a massive sustainable supply and if we can get their supplies from china, if there are surprise coming from egypt and israel, then it will be fine. i want to speak to the chief executive of the national health service care charity. what about in the care sector, what is the reality? to put it simply the rhetoric was good at the outset but it has not delivered in reality. we are four weeks in and we are struggling with ppe and testing. the ppe is a problem because we are a large provider but end up having to move around a lot of stock to make sure we have it where we need it and, in terms of testing, we have not been able to isolate residents if they have symptoms. we have ended up if they have symptoms. we have ended up having to deploy more staff to support people when actually we needed to be more targeted. a good example from yesterday. we have a home for people with severe dementia with five cases where we managed to get them tested and confirmed and isolated a wing of the home, but we needed to be doing that over the past four weeks. they yesterday was we had to move ppe from another part of the country to that home because we did not have sufficient because the amount we are getting, 300 masks a week, you would use 100 in a day if you had a case where you had someone with coronavirus. so it is a challenge in terms of and testing. where do you get your ppe equipment from? there where do you get your ppe equipment from ? there is where do you get your ppe equipment from? there is a large amount that comes through government, but that supply chain has not been robust. we have ended up having to go to private suppliers in order to access sufficient to make sure we have enough ppe to go around homes and schemes. in terms of getting stuff from government, are you effectively in competition, i suppose you are in competition with the nhs to get the same supplies coming into the country? of course we are. do you feel you are being left at the bottom of the pile here, as the care sector? everybody recognises we are the second front line and we recognise the position of the nhs but it is always the fact there is not sufficient in the system that means we are struggling in terms of getting ppe deaded. another thought, are over 10,000 deaths, nhs staff on the front line are being affected. are they safe? clearly, if they wear the right protective equipment. there has been rigorous science put into the guidance around the equipment to ensure it is safe and clearly if it is available at the front light as it should be, staff should be safe. -- front line. the trustees i represent they are clear nothing could be more important staff have the equipment when needed, which is why they are concerned to ensure the supply flows effectively and consistently and no doubt there has been an issue. if i can pick up on what sam said, all of us in the nhs recognise that there has been a problem in the social ca re has been a problem in the social care sector, in voluntary organisations in primary care, where we organisations in primary care, where we have 54,000 organisations that need personal protection equipment whereas the trust sector i represent, there are 217 organisations to deliver to. we have been trying to help social care and gp colleagues, where we have the ability to share, we have shared but everybody recognises trying to deal with the 54,000 is more complicated. we think it would be helpful if people acknowledged the fact this is still a problem and taking time to resolve rather than pretending there are problems, because there clearly are. i think everyone knows there are. i think everyone knows there are problems. sam, louise raised the issue of the number of deaths. care home deaths are not included in the figures, so we have more than 10,000 deaths in hospitals now. how bad is the situation in terms of people dying in care homes? in our experience, we have lost around 150 residents through either confirmed or suspected covid—19 and i have sadly lost two of my staff. that is in your number of care homes? yes. i have 90 care homes and 43 retirement living settings with care. the problem is that we have a confirmed number of 28 who have been tested as having covid—19 at the point at which they died. the remainder were showing symptoms of covid—19, but we have not been able to tribute, or get a clear picture of whether they did die of the virus. so we are somewhat in the dark in relation to the extent, but we are saying at the moment, according to guidance given, in terms of capturing the number of people, it is at the 150 mark. thank you. we can speak now to shadow chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, rachel reeves. we were talking about a lot of things, including ppe and problems we are hearing about with getting gowns. what does need to be done with ppe? the point to your previous guest made that it is important government acknowledge there are problems, there are problems of causing getting that personal protective clothing and equipment to people in the front line of the nhs but that problem is more acute when it comes to social care settings. we are seeing that around the country andi are seeing that around the country and i am seeing it in my constituency in leeds. there is a mismatch between what government says about the availability of this clothing equipment and what is experienced on the front line. nobody doubts, i would say to government ministers, that you are committed to getting the equipment to those on the front line, but you need to listen more to those people working on the front line, whose everyday experiences they are not getting what they need in either the quantity or the quality of types of equipment they need. we need to step up equipment they need. we need to step up both the production and distribution. of course to hospitals, but also to those social ca re hospitals, but also to those social care settings, where the numbers are not being reported but as we know from your previous guest and others, those numbers are very high and increasing. the point of publishing the numbers is to ensure, the number of deaths, that we know what is going on and the equipment and clothing gets to the people who need it. not having accurate numbers on those means i do not think enough has happened to get support to those social care settings. you say you know a little bit about those numbers. what can you tell us? just the previous guest spoke about in his own care homes, a limited number of those, there had been around 100 deaths. but as he rightly said, it is difficult to know if they are from covid—19 or something else, because you do not have testing in ca re because you do not have testing in care home settings as you do for people admitted to hospital. we both need to ensure there is a better roll—out of ppe and clothing, but also testing in social care settings so we have an accurate idea of the scale of the problem. in my constituency in leeds, the first death we had was in a social care setting. i think that anybody at a local level, whether in the health service, mps, councillors, will tell you those numbers are underreported and the scale of the problem is not known because of the lack of testing. we need to ensure both people ill in care homes and people working in care homes have those tests so that we know exactly what is happening in those settings. we understand by thursday the government will review the restrictions under which we have been. keir starmer is asking questions. what does he want answered? at the moment, the number of deaths is incredibly high. we hope the nation shares this hope, we all hope those numbers will plateau and start to fall. when they do start to fall we need to think about the ways in which we can ease some restrictions on civil liberties and everyday life and whether that is around mass testing, tracing who we have been in contact with, if we are found to have the virus. whether it is for example shielding the most vulnerable and allowing perhaps some others to get back to some semblance of normal life, or lifting restrictions for a while but going back into them if numbers start to increase. there are different options and different countries are looking and experimenting with different things. we need that public debate in the uk before we get to the point when we can start making some of those changes, so we ta ke making some of those changes, so we take the public with us and have public trust, which is why the labour party are asking for the government to publish an exit strategy from lockdown because we need to protect lives and we need to do more to protect livelihoods that have taken a huge hit because of restrictions. and although it is not the moment now to end lockdown, we need to think about where we will be in two, three, four weeks and now start looking at that plan and being able to scrutinise the plan so we get it right. there are hundreds of deaths every day. is it not too early to start looking at that? of course it is too early to end the lockdown from my perspective, but it is not too early to start thinking about where we need to be in two or three weeks. that has been a challenge globally. you focus where you are now but do not look at where you are now but do not look at where you need to be next, whether it was bringing in the lockdown in the first place, all coming out of the lockdown in due course. at some point we will see numbers fall and look to return to some semblance of normality and the restoration of civil liberties. although the timing is not now, it is absolutely now we need to think about how we end that lockdown and under what circumstances we start to return to everyday life and that is one reason why also we think parliament should return to scrutinise government policy and strategy, so we get this right. labour are working in the national interest but we also need to ask government tough question so we make the right decisions for our country. on the point about parliament, we are working under different circumstances. how would parliament work in your view? we cannot go back to business as usual with 650 mp5 cannot go back to business as usual with 650 mps crammed in to the debating chamber, but other countries, such as new zealand, they are operating on the basis of some form of virtual parliament with the select committee chaired by the leader of the opposition. there are different experiences in different countries, but it is essential parliamentarians can scrutinise government because it is through that scrutiny and through the asking of difficult questions and government having to respond, we can improve policy—making, and also bring the experience from constituencies across the country to bear on policy—making so that in some form, probably virtual, we need to have parliament sitting again to be able to ask those challenging questions to ensure we get the right policy in the national interest. rachel reeves, thank you for your time. now let‘s have a look at the weather forecast. easter monday. time. now let‘s have a look at the weatherforecast. easter monday. how is it looking, sarah? good morning, a different sort of day today. recently it has been dry and warm but we have colder air filtering in so you will notice a different feeling to the weather. and this is the view from a weather watcher garden, so cloudy conditions to start, but are largely dry story although you will notice the drop in temperature and brisk winds. the reason is we have a cold front pushing south. and colder air will filter south across the british isles as we head through the day. it will produce one or two light showers in southern england but they should fizzle away quickly and then dry conditions across the board. if you are in eastern scotland, east coast of england, more cloud and a brisk breeze keeping temperatures around 6—9. the warmest spots further west. wales, south—west england. into this evening and overnight, the wind will ease and sky is clear so we are likely to see some frost in us first thing tomorrow and bear that in mind if you have been gardening. —— frosty weather. a cold start to tuesday morning but another largely dry, settle day with high pressure in charge. cloudy in north—west scotla nd charge. cloudy in north—west scotland and in the far south—east of england and in between long spells of sunshine although temperatures feeling cooler than the past week. sunshine to be enjoyed. high pressure stays with us through tuesday and into wednesday, bringing dry and settled weather for the middle part of the week. wednesday, a cold start. it will cloud in the north—west of scotland but for much of the uk, dry with sunshine and temperatures will start to creep up again. cold over the next couple of days but by wednesday, temperatures in the high teens. the headlines are coming up next. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. the uk is facing its fourth week in lockdown with the government set to see if lockdown measures can be changed. they are required by law to see if the rules are working based on expert advice. the number of deaths in the uk caused by the coronavirus outbreak has now reached more than 10,000. borisjohnson is recuperating at his country residence chequers after spending a week in hospital suffering from covid—19. in a video message, the prime minister paid tribute to the nhs, saying there is no question that staff at the saint thomas as hospital saved his life. he thanked two nurses who stood by his bedside for 48 hours when, in his bedside for 48 hours when, in his words, things could have gone either way. the two european countries worst hit by the pandemic italy and spain are starting to ease the sum of their lockdown restrictions. in spain, staff working in manufacturing and construction will be allowed to go back to work from the davis cup italy will also lead to some businesses open from tomorrow which the government says it is crucial for the economy and also for people‘s psychological help. —— health. people‘s psychological help. —— let‘s speak to professorjason leitch, who is the national clinical director for the scottish government. he joins us from glasgow. the situation is predictable. the virus is horrible, nasty, and our cases are rising and our mortality is still high. we are following almost exactly what you see across the whole of the uk and the whole of europe. i spoke to some colleagues over the weekend from sweden and denmark and every country is facing this horrid, horrid virus. and we are trying to do our best in a very difficult situation for stop the public are helping and we do see some early signs of indicators, relu cta nt some early signs of indicators, reluctant to say it is encouraging, but with the admission to hospital levels getting to flat a laugh a bit but it feels very fragile, even on easter monday. given the numbers are tentatively starting to show the movement perhaps in the right direction, how much longer what do you envisage the lockdown conditions remaining in place? it is impossible to predict until we see more data. remembering weeks ago, i was on this programme talking about trying to move the peak from a sharp spike into a longer flat curve, talking about the difference between ben nevis, under the curve was for two reasons. it was to allow the national health service to manage and to protect the very vulnerable. they have managed that from some extent, so the health service isn't overwhelmed in any of the countries. so the public of the mad, every time the public have stayed home, they have flattened the curve. what it means is the peak will not be a single day, it will not be a tuesday night or a wednesday. it will take time for the peak to flatten and begin to file and only when it falls is when it is time to think about doing something. is there a point when the economy getting moving again, there is a trade—off to be made, or do you wait until you are absolutely convinced we are way out on the other side of this?|j absolutely convinced we are way out on the other side of this? i think it is probably the best question that i get asked. all the way along here, we have been trying to balance three hams. harms. the second ham is the diseases that we are unable to treat if the health service becomes overwhelmed, and the third is the harm from the countermeasures. everything we do has a cast. a mental illness is up, domestic violence is up, people are scared to go to hospital with their children. there is no easy road where the advisers can say, yeah, minister, first minister, prime minister, do this, all will be well. everything is about balancing the harm. there will come a time when the priority changes because the coronavirus is more under control, them health services managing and we have to think about the lockdown measures, people in their homes, it is all very well for people to say, it is fine to stay—at— home very well for people to say, it is fine to stay—at—home because they are ina fine to stay—at—home because they are in a nice three bedroom house with a garden at the back. that is not true of everyone. people have families, kids locked up, houses with no outdoor space, high rise flats, addiction, mental health, they suffer violence. it is not something we are doing right we are told. it is a really good point and their are undoubtedly many layers. you mention the mental health issue. how concerned are you about that moving forward? i'm concerned about the effect that we're having right now from the fear of the virus and disease and the fact that the fact people can't get out or exercise in cycle and work as they would normally like. my parents are 79, walking half an hour a day, but they are not seeing their children, not going to their church, not having a normal social contacts. they are safe from the virus, but that can't be good for very low prolonged period so we have to balance those together. i am also worried about the mental health challenges because of those are scared of going to the health service and it is in people realise the health service is still open. we towed to the scottish press briefing yesterday about children, children with asthma and diabetes or neurological conditions. they must go to the health service if they are sick, they mustn't wait because they are locked in. they must contact theirgp on 111 if are locked in. they must contact their gp on 111 if they feel ill or their gp on 111 if they feel ill or their parents are worried about them deteriorating. the same is about the mental health challenge. the services are still open. it seems that yesterday, the lockdown, people have obeyed social distancing and haven‘t gone out in the way they we re haven‘t gone out in the way they were not asked to which is encouraging. are you worried people will become impatient? of course, but i don‘t see that yet, even in the official data we get from travel numbers and we know how many people are on buses and trains. and also from the police. we spoke to the police constable last week and he talked about a very small number of individuals who are flouting these rules and still having the occasional house party, which ents delete mackie and his colleagues are breaking up. but i see people obeying the rules and i think people are doing it because the message is getting through that they are not just protecting themselves, it is the classic public health lesson, when you go to public health school, they teach you on the first day that individual behaviour affects population health. we don‘t often have to do that but it is the classic example of individual behaviour affecting population health. it is not taking our inhaler, that is your individual health. staying at home to protect others is population health. how is testing? are you able to increase the amount of testing you are able to do? we are. testing is not the panacea that everybody thinks it is. we are testing... it has helped in germany. it has helped to some extent, germany is an interesting study, as is every country. sweden is an interesting country in contrast to what others have done, day is interesting for stop we have to learn from these other countries. let's be clear about the available tests, what they can do. you test me today, perhaps locked up in my house, and i am negative. tomorrow you will get that result. it told you will get that result. it told you i was negative on monday. it doesn't have you whether i was negative on tuesday or wednesday or thursday. the test of the advisers wa nt thursday. the test of the advisers want is the antibody test that will tell us if you have got it and re cove red tell us if you have got it and recovered from it. we are testing key workers, we have tested 8500 and they have been able to go back to their work, some of them. some of them have to live in hotels because they can't come home if there is a symptomatic person there because we have to test them every hour. the testis have to test them every hour. the test is a little bit misunderstood. of curse we should test to those who are sick, those who are key works. but mass testing would need to be antibody test. thank you very much indeed for your time this morning. always good to get some insight. very good mining. and now pat is talking to us about a legend in formula 1. i have been reading all the tributes coming in for so stirling moss was to yesterday delete my guest today. his talent, versatility, he just had delete my guest today. his talent, versatility, hejust had mo delete my guest today. his talent, versatility, he just had mo despite running through his veins. great stories to read out their about him. he won 16 of the 66 f1 races he competed in from 1951 to ‘61, becoming the first british driver to win a home grand prix in 1955 at aintree. moss was a four—time runner—up in the drivers championship before being named bbc sports personality of the year in 1961 and was then knighted in 2000. he was the most dynamic, most charismatic racing driver i think that there has ever been. he walked like a racing driver, he talked like a racing driver and he looked like a racing driver. and of course he never did win the world championship only because he always wanted to drive a british car, and at that time the italians and the germans were all—powerful. but the loss of stirling moss to the world of motorsport is a great loss and, really, for me, he was my ultimate hero. also paid tribute saying: "today we say goodbye to sir stirling moss, the racing legend. i certainly will miss our conversations. i am truly grateful to have had these special moments with him." ferrari paid tribute: "rip sirstirling. a true legend and a wonderful person. he was a formidable opponent." and his presence was felt beyond motor sport. former heavyweight boxing world champion frank bruno tweeted: "i am very saddened to hear the passing of sir stirling moss. he privately supported me over many years and was an amazing driver in his time, he will be greatly missed." more sad news to bring you, i‘m afraid. the former chelsea and england goalkeeper peter bonetti has died at the age of 78 after a long illness. he played 729 times for chelsea — who have described him as one of the sports all time greats. he also had seven caps for england including, famously, this one in the 1970 world cup quarterfinal defeat to west germany. to another twist in the voting saga in scottish football. the spfl — who run the top divisions — have again been accused of using underhand tactics around its vote to end the season. hearts, who are bottom of the premiership, say the spfl tried to "unduly influence the outcome of the vote" by insisting their resolution had to be passed in order to release funds to clubs. hearts say they‘ll now propose a temporary restructuring of the leagues to ensure "no club is financially penalised". rangers want an independent investigation and the spfl chief executive suspended. the coronavirus means there is huge uncertainty over the upcoming transfer window with football at a standstill. however, tottenham insist they won‘t sell captain harry kane this summer. the striker recently said he might need to move if the club don‘t win trophies — manchester united have been linked with kane. tottenham were one of the first premier league teams to furlough staff and it was suggested chairman daniel levy was open to a transfer if he could get a fee of around £200 million. football is at a standstill across the whole of europe — apart from in belarus. their prime minister says he‘s not worried about the coronavirus. so football continues. well standby for this as bate moved into the top half of their top division with a 3—0 win at minsk. their third goal going in direct from a corner. we‘ll let you decide if he meant it. in direct from a corner. but in direct from a corner. he will take it. they are in‘ top but he will take it. they are in the top half of their country‘s division, the only country in europe where football is still being played. there could be a change at the top of world rugby after former argentinian international agustin pichot said he will run against chairman bill beaumont. former england captain beaumont has been in charge for the last four years. his re—election in may was expected to be a formality, but pichot, who‘s worked alongside him all that time, has decided to put himself forward. virtual racing was all that the motogp riders could do on sunday, but it was still pretty competitive. there was some misfortune for the seven—time champion valentino rossi in virtual race 2 as he suffered a crash attempting an over take on the final lap. luckily, he managed to see the funny side. francesco bagnaia was the eventual winner. this easter weekend should have seen the start of the new cricket county championship season. however that‘s of course delayed due to coronavirus. but that didn‘t stop some players giving us a glimpse of how that first ball would have looked. and how about this from kent and england‘s joe denly. he faced a delivery from a rather young bowler here. they swapped roles but look at this, no mercy. thank goodness it is a plastic ball because that looks like some rather nice stained glass behind. no casualties there. i am genuinely really enjoying the alternative sport. a solid defensive shot. we have been asking you to send in pictures for alternative easter celebrations. this is a game of easter bingo. penelope decorated easter tree with her parents. amy from derbyshire performed a live concert from her garden for villagers who enjoyed it from a safe social distance. that is martha and ted on at easter 999 that is martha and ted on at easter egg hunt in pontefract. and this is one, celebrating their first easter. e—mailing your pictures and videos to bbc brea kfast, pictures and videos to bbc breakfast, or you can tweet. spending prolonged periods of time with loved ones has thrown up unexpected challenges for some of us, but for one family at least, this time has proved invaluable. they are probably not alone in that. luca is autistic and after previously being very distant, he is now starting to reconnect with the world, and with his family. hejoins us now with his mum emma. good morning to you both. three weeks in, how has life changed for you? this is our 35th day in isolation, ours started a little bit earlier because as well as autism, luca is in the high—risk category stop we did start a little bit earlier. it has been a surprising time. luca has for many years suffered with quite severe anxiety, due to his condition. and he worries a lot. he has a lot of low mood. since isolation, however, completely unprecedented, luca has had an amazing mental health break and is feeling so much more relaxed being at home with his family. luca, tell me what it has been like being at home so much. it is good, because i get to play games with my brothers. i feel safe, i feel safer at home. i like to go on little walks. i cannot go near any people. and... and like to go on little walks. i cannot go nearany people. and... and i like to go to my happy place, which is down a green, down the back of our house. emma, that is lovely, he can go to what he calls his happy place. this is a picture of the brothers, as well. lovely. we are so lucky that we have a lovely green area behind our house. it is very quiet. we go there every day as part of luca‘s routine. when he is at school he has a sensory diet, where he has to have sensory breaks and exercise, so we have worked that into our day. luca feels relaxed out in nature and we have enjoyed being able to get out and do that and we are extremely lucky we have that space on our doorstep where we can safely get outdoors. how has it changed you ? safely get outdoors. how has it changed you? it has been a huge, huge rest. 0ur day, usually when luca has to go to school, we have to do planning and preparation, use visual timetables, we have to do a lot of transition warnings. all of those things we have stopped doing because luca is feeling so relaxed. it has been a brilliant mental health break for all the family. we have... something luca struggled with the past years is any sort of touch contact, which has been incredibly difficult for me and my husband, because seeing him suffering so much and not being able to give him a hug has been awful but we are able to hug again, have some cuddles. luca has been saying i love you, which is something we have not heard for many years, which has been amazing. it has been fantastic. i would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody working so hard up to thank everybody working so hard up and down the country, keeping the country going and giving us the opportunity to spend time with our family and reconnect in a way i do not think would have been possible without this situation. it is so unexpected. luca, what is it like having the family around you all the time? it makes me feel safer. i can do activities. i can talk to my brothers and talk to my mum or dad. ifi brothers and talk to my mum or dad. if i feel worried or upset, i can just talk. better. and tell us about what you will do today and enjoy today, emma. our plans today, we are... we have not had breakfast yet so we will be doing that and after dinnertime, we so we will be doing that and after dinner time, we will go to luca‘s happy place. we have not got that much plan today. something we have been planning on doing is writing a letter to our councillor and the people in charge of the green space luca enjoys, because it is heavily littered, so we are going to work on doing that. it is wonderful to see you both. thank you. that is one of the wonderful things, you don‘t even have to have plans. that is the key, the pressure is lifted. and we can just take... we are literally taking each day as it comes. and we are enjoying the peaceful time without the demands of normal life. that is a good lesson for all. thank you. isn‘t that fantastic? so many surprises, because we have gone into this with one mindset and all of us in ourown this with one mindset and all of us in our own ways are learning. and everybody has different experiences. it is not great for some people to be cooped up but for otherfamilies a some people to be cooped up but for other families a chance they would not have got to spend time together. another uplifting story. 0n friday‘s breakfast, we brought you the story of 99—year—old war veteran tom moore, who‘s trying to complete 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday. the former captain is raising money for the nhs, after receiving treatment for skin cancer and a broken hip. since his debut on breakfast his appeal has been innundated with donations. i can get about, but slowly. so long as people don‘t want to run about too fast, i can manage and will continue to manage for as long as i possibly can. after smashing his initial £1,000 target — tom‘s now aiming to raise a whopping £500,000 and he‘s

england and wales and you will notice the temperature difference. much colder than recent days, but mainly dry, still unsettled. the cold front has pushed south over the past 24 hours, squeezing mild

it is easter monday, the 13th of april. 0ur good morning, it is easter monday, the 13th of april. our top story. the uk is facing its fourth week in lockdown with the government sector review by thursday whether social distancing measures can be changed. the number of deaths in the uk caused by the coronavirus outbreak has now reached more than 10,000. 0ur correspondence lee miller reports. the faces of those who have died from coronavirus. described by the health secretary as the invisible killer, which has now taken more than 10,000 lives in the uk. among them, health care workers like this doctor who is based in swindon. questions are now being asked, just how many on the front line have lost their lives to save others?” how many on the front line have lost their lives to save others? i don't have an update on the figure of 19 nhs staff who have died that i gave yesterday but what i can tell you is that we are looking into each circumstance to understand how they caught the virus and making sure that we learn as much as we possibly can and therefore, of course, we protect our health workers as much as possible. according to public health england, the number of people in hospital with coronavirus in london is stabilising, but it is now increasing in places like the north—west and north—east of england as well as yorkshire. can you all go home, please? it is not a holiday, it isa home, please? it is not a holiday, it is a lockdown. today marks three weeks since lockdown began. it is understood ministers will meet later this week to review the social distancing measures. despite the warm bank holiday weekend, the streets of london were empty, and motorways almost abandoned, as people listened to the please to say to him. yesterday, the sister of sara trott, a matron on the psychiatric ward in north—west london who recently died after contracting the virus, gave this poignant message the public. for me, stay at home, don‘t let my sister and all the other nhs staff and all the people that have died from this virus, don‘t let their deaths be in vain. stay at home. with only one day left of the four day bank holiday weekend, the message remains the same— stay at home, protect the nhs and save lives. borisjohnson is recuperating at his country residence, chequers, after spending a week in hospital suffering from covid—19. in a video message, the prime minister paid tribute to the nhs, particularly mentioning two nurses, jenny mcgee from new zealand and luis petarma from new zealand and luis petarma from portugal, he looked after from his bedside. earlier, jenny‘s parent spoke about their daughter.m his bedside. earlier, jenny‘s parent spoke about their daughter. it makes us feel exceptionally proud, obviously, but she has told us these things over the years and it does not matter what patient she is looking after, this is what she does. ijust find looking after, this is what she does. i just find it looking after, this is what she does. ijust find it incredible that she, any nurses, can do this for 12 hours, sit and watch a patient and twiddle away with all of the different knobs and things they do to keep their patients lives, it is absolute the amazing. two very proud pa rents. absolute the amazing. two very proud parents. 0ur political correspondence helen cattjoins us now from central london. helen, the prime minister is convalescing at chequers. what do we know about his condition now? we know he was well enough to leave saint thomas is hospital after a week yesterday afternoon, that he was well enough to record that very heartfelt message for social media yesterday, thanking the nhs staff who treated him. but we also know that he is not well enough to go straight back to work. instead, on medicaladvice, he is recuperating at his country residence in buckinghamshire, chequers. —— are at their prime and as the‘s country residence. we know because of his message yesterday, how serious things got for him last week, he talked about a 48—hour period where things could have gone either way, and put down the fact he pulled through to those two nurses who you just mentioned, so while borisjohnson is recuperating, that means that dominic raab, the foreign secretary, remains as deputising for him. the government and the cabinet have quite a lot of things to look at over the coming week because we have got of course that stark reminder yesterday with the number of people who have died passing 10,000, a stark reminder that a lot of people are not as lucky as the prime minister has been, that the cabinet, the government still have to deal with this pandemic to try to get those numbers under control. and of course, the first thing they have got to do is look at the lockdown restrictions. there is a legal limit on that that has to be reviewed by thursday, although all the signs are it is very unlikely that those reflections will change. thank you for joining reflections will change. thank you forjoining us. the two european countries worst hit by the pandemic, italy and spain, are easing some of the lockdown restrictions that were imposed several weeks ago. earlier, we heard from damien mcguinness in berlin, who told us how significant the changes are across europe. who told us how significant the changes are across europem who told us how significant the changes are across europe. it is a big step for europe, really, because as you say, these countries were really hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and what will happen today is that spain is going to open construction and manufacturing and certain similar sectors to get people back to work and to really get the economy going again. italy is also going to allow some businesses to reopen from tomorrow. italy has already started some aspects of manufacturing over the past week. really, the aim for both governments is to get the economy is going. but of course, the challenge is how to do that while preventing a fresh outbreak of the pandemic. the measures are controversial, particularly in spain, where the decision has been taken by central government in madrid but the catalan government in madrid but the catalan government has called it irresponsible. the difficulty of course is, on the one hand, you need to get the economy is going because peoples livelihoods depend on these businesses. if you do it too early, you spark off a fresh pandemic and all it means is you have to go into all it means is you have to go into a more strict lockdown again. what is still the case in both countries is still the case in both countries is that the lockdown on movement between people and social contact and some fairly strict measures there about not being allowed to go outside unless strictly necessary, are very much still in place and thatis are very much still in place and that is going to last for another couple of weeks at least, really. but what they are trying to do is get the economy moving again and thatis get the economy moving again and that is the challenge facing all european countries. damien mcguinness, speaking to us a bit earlier. nearly 200 members of the armed forces are being deployed to support ambulance services in england and wales. personnel from all three strands of the armed forces will be sent to work at five ambulance trusts. they will carry out a range of tasks including driving emergency response vehicles, moving critical care patients between intensive care units, and taking calls from the public. the fire brigades union is urging the government to start testing firefighters in england who are self isolating because they have symptoms. testing has either started or been promised in scotland, wales and northern ireland. here is our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. we are supposed to be lockdown but firefighters still had to deal with this fire near bolton, thought to have been caused by a barbecue. and today, the firefighters union is warning that the need for staff to isolate themselves is affecting the number of front line firefighters and controllers. according to the union, bedfordshire is the worst affected, with 12% fewer staff overall. the london fire brigade is down 10%, 472 firefighters and control room staff. the west midlands service is missing 7.5%. the control room at west yorkshire fire service is coping with 16% fewer people. shake it out, make sure it is opened up. fire services are taking on new roles in the crisis, so the union wants staff to be tested to get them back to work. it says in northern ireland, 50 firefighters with symptoms have been tested. there are programmes planned in scotland and wales. but there are no firm commitments from the home office in england. i think we are increasingly frustrated at the promise of central government, particularly westminster, we have got some progress in scotland, some that testing of firefighters starting in scotland and some testing in northern ireland but we have seen no progress from westminster so far. it seems to be just left in the fire and rescue service to get on with it or not and thatis service to get on with it or not and that is not acceptable. in a statement, a westminster government spokesman said fire services were doing incredible work helping with the crisis and it was working with fire chiefs to ensure they had the resources and support they needed. tom symonds, bbc news. the post office is to make it easier for those in self isolation to allow a trusted friend to withdraw cash on their behalf. they will be able to ask their bank for a single use bar code, which can then be exchanged for cash at a post office branch. the scheme, which is already in place for named carers, aims to stop the vulnerable from handing over a bank card and pin number. 0ne the vulnerable from handing over a bank card and pin number. one of the world‘s best known opera singers, andrea bocelli, has performed a live concert outside a milan‘s deserted cathedral. # amazing race # amazing race #__ # amazing race # —— grace # —— grace # how sweet the sound # how sweet the sound # the concert was streamed live around the world and he performed several hymns, including ave maria, and as you just heard, amazing grace. it is even more a theory when it is in the silence. brilliant. as the easter weekend begins to draw to a close, many of us have been experiencing a rather different bank holiday this year. there had been concerns, given the hot, sunny weather that people might be tempted to ignore advice on social distancing — but largely it seems the message to stay at home has been getting through. dan johnson went out to find out more. it has been a strangely quiet weekend right across the country. rarely are the streets of the capital empty like this. 0ur motorways were almost abandoned as people overwhelmingly listened to the pleas to stay close to home. this is what service stations now look like. we were about the only ones stopping off. in blackpool, people were out and about but mostly sticking to the rules. there‘s a lot more people out exercising. but i‘d say 99% of people are listening and they‘re taking our advice. 0n the south coast, hastings was extremely quiet for a sunny bank holiday. on a sunday, normally this place is heaving. we met george, 69 years old and vulnerable. all i do is come out every day, get a bit of fresh air and never get out of my scooter for the simple reason, i am safe in here. it is alljust empty, it‘s like the walking dead. all the restaurants, all closed. there was a group of four having some drinks and then they think it is really cool to go in the playground as grown adults so we have to explain to our kid that he can't go in the playground but there are some idiots who think it is ok to. i‘m a little bit more cautious probably than most, but that‘s how i feel. i lost my uncle last tuesday to covid — 68, no underlying health conditions so, you know, i just want to stay as safe as possible. we‘re with bbc news, we just happened to be filming here. and then, just around the harbour, an upside—down world delivered some new arrivals. 29 migrants thought to have sailed from france in a boat not designed for social distancing. it is a reminder of the range of challenges our emergency services face. these are upturned, difficult days and there are surely more to come. danjohnson, bbc news, in hastings. we‘re joined now by chief inspector pat coates, from lincolnshire police and malcolm bell, from visit cornwall. good morning. thank you forjoining us. chief inspector, first of all, what kind of incidents did you have to deal with over the weekend? well, we we re to deal with over the weekend? well, we were concerned over the weekend that we would have an influx of people to the east coast, there was also skegness, and mablethorpe and i‘m pleased to say we did not have that. people heeded the advice and we did not see people travelling. what we have seen though is reports of local parties, people visiting neighbours and the like but in the vast majority of cases, people have heeded the advice to stay home and save lives and that is certainly what the public have done and what we have seen this bank holiday weekend despite the good weather. have you had to issue fixed penalty notices and in what form? yes, u nfortu nately, notices and in what form? yes, unfortunately, a very small number, we do it as a last resort, one incident was two people travelling from coventry to a house party, clearly did not have a reason for that journey so they got clearly did not have a reason for thatjourney so they got issued with a fixed penalty notice and we had another group of people who travelled a distance to meet family orfriends in a park travelled a distance to meet family or friends in a park or open space for a picnic which clearly come again, was not an essentialjourney but that is a very rare occasion. we do it as a last resort and i‘m pleased to say the vast majority of people have heeded the advice and not travelled. malcolm, when we spoke to you on good friday morning, the worry was that the beaches of the worry was that the beaches of the south—west would be inundated with people over the weekend. how did it materialise in the end? with people over the weekend. how did it materialise in the end7m actually went very well, really. a few people tried things, somebody tried to drive down from london and they got stopped on their attempt to go fishing and were turned around by the police. but looking at the webcams, by and large, the beaches have been deserted, beautiful but deserted, only local people exercising and walking. just the occasional person going for a swim or occasional person going for a swim ora occasional person going for a swim or a paddle which is ok as long as it isa or a paddle which is ok as long as it is a very short paddle and then back onto your exercise. it is strange for you, isn‘t it? normally you are trying to attract people to come to a beautiful part of the world, to spend their leisure time but this time, you are asking them actively to stay awake.|j but this time, you are asking them actively to stay awake. i have been doing thisjob 21 actively to stay awake. i have been doing this job 21 years and this actively to stay awake. i have been doing thisjob 21 years and this is one of the best east as we have ever had, and here i am telling people not to come to cornwall, it is a very surreal world at the moment. what kind of impact is that having and going to have on businesses? so many of them will rely on tourism. one in three households in tourism depends partly or fully on tourism so you can imagine that, it is hitting the supply chain in food and drink which makes up about a quarter of the economy but it is the ripple effect. although we don't want to opena effect. although we don't want to open a day too soon, we also don't wa nt open a day too soon, we also don't want to open a day too late. it is important for the whole economy. and inviting people like you, louise, because i know you love cornwallis well. you know? you absolutely know it has a very special place in my heart but i won't go until i'm allowed, like everybody else. when thatis, allowed, like everybody else. when that is, we don‘t know the answer, but when do you hope that might be? we are hoping late may and june but again, we have to put this disease to bed and be safe. it is very important we get july and august, obviously, and september, but it would be great to be open in late may orjune but again, we're not asking to be open any earlier than it is absolutely safe to be.” suppose, just thinking about it, late may, earlyjune, that is kind of half term and i suppose the government, it could have a big impact ifa government, it could have a big impact if a lot of people came down, couldn‘t it? impact if a lot of people came down, couldn't it? yes, and i think that is why we are starting to think about what they staged opening would look like, would it be or whatever. i think those expecting the traffic lights to suddenly go green and half a million people suddenly arrive in cornwall, we have to do this very carefully but that is what we've got to use the next few weeks for, planning how you start opening the visitor economy, because that contributes to the wider economy. chief inspector, we were speaking to a medical directorfrom chief inspector, we were speaking to a medical director from scotland chief inspector, we were speaking to a medical directorfrom scotland a bit earlier in the programme about... one of the questions i asked was the risk that people start to become frustrated as time goes on. is it too early for your officers to see that starting to happen yet? i think it is. we haven‘t seen that in the main. clearly, over the weekend, we did see people or had reports of people visiting people in homes, but it is too early to say. what i would say is that clearly, the rules are there to protect people and save lives and protect the nhs and people need to follow that advice and guidance. i know it is difficult for some individuals not to see their family and obviously, people in certain circumstances find it difficult to stay at home but the message is very clear, stay at home and please don‘t visit family or friends and follow the advice and guidance. 0ur role is to make sure the guidance and advice is followed so we can protect people. we are seeing some pictures of lincoln at the moment some drone pictures you have given us, it is deserted. it is satisfying that people heeded the message. can i ask another question? from a personal police point of view as well, when you have to deal with people who might be flouting the guidelines, your officers are in danger in some ways, aren‘t they? your officers are in danger in some ways, aren't they? yes, our officers have the same concerns as everybody else, they have got family and people at home that they have to go back to so we don‘t want to be dealing with individuals. we want to try to socially distance, like everybody else. we do have protective equipment we can use in certain circumstances, but clearly, we wa nt certain circumstances, but clearly, we want people to heed the advice. we don‘t want to be dealing with individuals putting themselves at risk, we have the same concerns that eve ryo ne risk, we have the same concerns that everyone else does. —— putting ourselves at risk. in terms of the the infection we might get from the virus. thank you forjoining us. malcolm, i can‘t wait to shield... every —— until everyone is allowed to go and visit cornwell again because it is a very special place. it is 90 minutes past eight. he knows it is close to my heart, as many people well, there‘s lots of places you want to go to. the time will come eventually, as we all know. all of us have felt the disruption to our daily routine. and more of us live and work from home and it is crucial to keep essential services running. 0ur chief environment corresponding onjustin valet has been to sizewell b power station in suffolk to see how britain‘s electricity companies are making sure that the lights stay on. the routine checks this chemist are making help ensure sizewell b nuclear power station continues to run smoothly. it provides electricity to more than 2 million british homes. day—to—day tasks are a bit more laborious, says rochelle. obviously, washing hands multiple times a day is a big one. we work a lot with gloves in our chemistry section, so changing those frequently, and, obviously, complying with our social distancing at all times. here on the suffolk coast, sizewell says it started putting in place its pandemic plan over two months ago, before the first coronavirus cases were even reported in the uk. we have effectively got half of the normal staff complement here at the moment. we have split them into two teams. one is sat operating the power plant, as we are here today, the other is at home, safe and isolated. and in the eventuality we did see some sickness on site, the other team would be ready to come in and maintain operation. the nuclear reactor is below this dome. the overriding priority is to make sure nothing goes wrong in there. so what happens just if there is an issue with international shipping and the power station can‘t get supplies? the early stages of our plan, which we enacted two months ago, is to build up our commodities and spare stock levels. so we are ready for this. we don‘t need to refuel this power station until 2021. so don‘t worry, your electricity dependent lockdown lifestyle isn‘t at threat any time soon. justin rowlatt, bbc news, suffolk. by by simply opening a window an hour before sunrise, we can enjoy a slice of nature without having to leave the house. the dawn chorus is a fantastic way to learn about the great outdoors and asjohn maguire has been finding out, technology allows us to keep a close eye on the wildlife which surrounds us. 0na on a normal day, edward never dream of trying to record birdsong in his garden on a busy road next to the forest of dean but these are not ordinary days. as the noise we make to clients, the volume of the natural world seems to have reached 11. compared to three weeks ago now because we have got quieter roads, quieter neighbourhoods, one thing that we are doing now is noticing much more about what is going on around us with nature. at the moment, normally here, there would be lots of lorries going past and ca rs be lots of lorries going past and cars going past but instead, all i can hearour cars going past but instead, all i can hear our blackbirds and robins singing. whether you are in the middle of an urban area or in the countryside, there is still plenty to see it hear and the dawn chorus at the moment is about 5:45am, 6am, so it is the perfect time to be listening for all of the bird singing at the same time. this is a really exciting time of year. this isa really exciting time of year. this is a busy time of year for mark as he prepares for the return of swifts to the uk at the end of the month. tucked under the eaves of his house in bristol, mark‘s home—made swift boxes are red with tiny cameras so he can watch and share online images of them nesting. so anybody out there who is stuck in because of this lockdown, this is an ideal opportunity to do something like this and get close up to nature in theirvery this and get close up to nature in their very own house. the internet is full of such nest cameras, a big brother for is full of such nest cameras, a big brotherfor birders, is full of such nest cameras, a big brother for birders, and is full of such nest cameras, a big brotherfor birders, and also is full of such nest cameras, a big brother for birders, and also a way for people who are isolating lockdown to connect with nature. for people who are isolating lockdown to connect with naturem you are going out on your daily exercise, set yourself a challenge. there's lots of birdsong on the internet. try to listen to one and try to identify it, set yourself a goal each day to identify new bird call every day. i'm doing that, every morning when we go out for a work, he says, "what‘s that bird?" and i get it wrong quite often! i‘m trying, i‘m getting there gradually. less traffic and more time on our hands means the chance to look around like never before. no matter where you are. so if you have got time and you can look out the window, with the swifts comeback, try to find out where are nesting. look under the roof tiles, even in flats, there are little nooks and crannies that the swifts are in and it is lovely watching them go back to the nest. few of us will look back on this time with any fondness, but there are some opportunities to learn, to discover, and to make new friends. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. so many of us have got robins in the garden at the moment. let‘s talk to kate humble, who joins garden at the moment. let‘s talk to kate humble, whojoins us this morning from monmouth. good morning. lovely to see you. thank you for talking to us on breakfast. you live ina very talking to us on breakfast. you live in a very rural place anyway so are things noticeably quieter at the moment? one thing you do notice is, imean, as moment? one thing you do notice is, i mean, as you say, i live very ru rally i mean, as you say, i live very rurally so it is very quiet, but no lane trails in the sky, we have very few planes coming over but you notice now that there aren‘t any at all. it isjust, we are notice now that there aren‘t any at all. it is just, we are surrounded by birdsong. i was trying to do some voice—overfor a by birdsong. i was trying to do some voice—over for a programme the other day and my husband rigged up a voice—over booth in our broom cupboard because we could not do it anywhere else because of the noise of the sparrows, they were so noisy! but it is quieter everywhere. and one of the wonderful things about this time of year is, as your report just said, you know, the dawn chorus is really coming to its full crescendo at the moment. all the birds are flirting and saying, "i can sing better than you", and finding territory and it really is, i was out just finding territory and it really is, i was outjust before 6am and it was an absolutely wonderful thing, it is like an orchestra warming up. you get one bit of song and then another bit and then this whole, wonderful sound surrounding you. it is a real treat. a nice way to describe it. 0ne treat. a nice way to describe it. one of the things people have pointed out is there are fewer cars on the roads, as you mention, fewer planes in the sky, pollution levels seem to have gone down, don‘t they? has that made any noticeable difference, do you think? it won't necessarily make a noticeable difference to the amount of wildlife, but what i think is very heartening is that, you know, it is extraordinary how nature responds when she is given half a chance. and i think this sort of extraordinary time that we are living through now really shows us that nature doesn‘t need us, but actually, we really need us, but actually, we really need it. the fact that we have been locked down and our more damaging activities have been limited has given nature a chance to start fixing things again. it is has also given us a chance, as your report said, it has given us a chance to rememberjust how said, it has given us a chance to remember just how important said, it has given us a chance to rememberjust how important nature is for all of us. you know, it is funny, isn‘t it? it is one of the things that we have all been seeking out for solace. we want to go into green spaces and hear birdsong. the internet is full of people, even if they are living in much more urban areas than me, taking photographs of the blossom on the trees. it is nature that makes us feel good. one of the things that i really hope happens as a result of this extraordinary time is that we understand how nature is so important to us and that we really appreciate it and perhaps live a a little bit differently and less damagingly in the future. your latest tv programme is all about helping people move from the city to the countryside. do you expect that when... the the countryside. do you expect that when. .. the city the countryside. do you expect that when... the city is at the moment are quietand when... the city is at the moment are quiet and relatively peaceful but when the hustle and bustle returns, people may reassess their lives and think they preferred a quieter life and we might see more people wanting to live more rurally? i think that might be the case. a lot of the families we followed for the programme had all thought very ha rd the programme had all thought very hard about moving and they all moved forward different reasons, some of them were financial, some of them we re them were financial, some of them were to be able to spend more time with each other, some of them wanted to give a different lifestyle for their children. the family that he will meet tomorrow night are an extraordinary family, anyone at home at the moment worrying about home—schooling might want to take a leaf out of their book. they were living in a four bedroom one bathroom house in epsom in surrey, a very nice part of the country but they had nine children to fit in the house and they home—schooled all of them! so they have moved to a beautiful part of northern shropshire and it is a wonderful thing to see how the children are com pletely thing to see how the children are completely blossoming, given the space and they are trying to be a bit more self—sufficient. there‘s a lot that they want to do, you know, long before any of us realised, you know, knew that the crisis was going to happen. you know, they are growing more of their own food, keeping hens, lots of things that people now are thinking they want to do, they want to be a bit more self—sufficient but also connect more with nature, to know where their food comes more with nature, to know where theirfood comes from, and yes, it is strange that this that we started in may last year, the timing of it seems. . . in may last year, the timing of it seems... well, quite extra no, really! great timing, it sounds idyllic, but for many people, the thought of home—schooling children wherever it is is the stuff of nightmares! but thank you for talking to us. all the best. it is a pleasure. stay safe. and you, thank you very much. homeschooling nine of them! i know. let‘s catch up with sarah and the weather this morning. good morning. plenty of blue skies around shropshire, but plenty of other areas have clad today, real change in the feel of the weather. yesterday, temperatures as high as 25 in london, more typically today about 12 degrees, drop in temperature, noticeably colder but still mainly dry, some sunshine around as well. the reason for the drop in temperature as this cold front has been making its way south over the past few days. we are all in the colder air mass to date with this brisk northerly wind, particularly across eastern scotland down the east coast of england. you notice the breeze, cold wind coming from the north sea, quite gusty in the english channel, 45 miles an hour gusts possible. sunshine for the west, cloudy in the east, warmer spots reaching 14 degrees, down the east coast just 65 and spots reaching 14 degrees, down the east coastjust 65 and 9 degrees. different feel to the weather out there. as we head into this evening there. as we head into this evening the wind eases, skies clear overnight. you can see the blue colour is returning, we are set to see quite a frosty night to come, temperatures in towns and cities could reach below freezing, colder than that in the countryside. frost likely tuesday morning, bear that in mind if you have been doing some gardening. more cloud to the north west of scotland and the south—east of england, in between plenty of sunshine to be enjoyed. still quite chilly with temperatures around 10-14d chilly with temperatures around 10—14d through the day on tuesday, things are set to stay mostly dry and it will warm up gradually as we look further ahead through the week. area of high pressure staying in charge but regardless of the weather, remember the rules on social distancing and stay at home forever you can. the headlines are coming up. sarah, thank you. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin the uk is facing its fourth week in lockdown, with the government set to review by thursday whether social distancing measures can be changed. ministers are required by law to assess whether the rules are working, based on expert advice, after three weeks of telling britons to stay at home. the number of deaths in the uk caused by the coronavirus outbreak has now reached more than 10,000. borisjohnson is recuperating at his country residence, chequers, after spending a week in hospital suffering from covid—19. in a video message, the prime minister paid tribute to the nhs, saying there is "no question" staff at st thomas‘ hospital in london saved his life. he thanked two nurses who stood by his bedside for 48 hours — when, he said, things could have gone either way. the two european countries worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic, italy and spain, are beginning to ease some of their lockdown restrictions. in spain, staff working in industries such as manufacturing and construction will be allowed to go back to work from today. italy will also let some businesses re—open from tomorrow, which the government there says is crucial for the economy and for people‘s psychological health. let‘s ta ke let‘s take a look at the sport. catherine is with us this morning, tributes paid to one of the greats of motorsport. 0ne tributes paid to one of the greats of motorsport. one of the greatest if not the greatest name in british motor sport, sir stirling moss died at the age of 90, tributes coming in after an incredible career and life. never crowned formula one world champion but still celebrated as one of the sport ‘s greatest ever drivers, finishing runner—up four times, winning 212 races in all categories, not just times, winning 212 races in all categories, notjust formula one. he was forced to retire after a serious accident in 1962. among those paying tribute was 1996 formula one champion damon hill who i‘m delighted to sayjoins us now on the line. thanks so much and good morning to you. you are safe and well. you met the great man himself very early on in your life, he was a great friend of your father ‘s? very early on in your life, he was a great friend of your father 's? yes, my father was coming up through the field at the time that sir stirling moss was dominating and they got to know each other, there was a lot of camaraderie in those days, it was a very dangerous sport. the british drivers got together but also there isa drivers got together but also there is a photograph of me at my christening with him and tony brooks and a host of others. so, i‘ve known sir stirling, or he has known me, since i was born, he‘s been part of our life, and the life of motorsport for such a long time, it‘s difficult to think of him not being here. looking at that picture, surrounded by the greats of motor sport on your christening day, no one would have known what you would go on to achieve but was he supportive of you as you chase your dreams and motorsport? yes, he was supportive, i think it was supportive of all british motorsport drivers, he was very patriotic and he said he would rather lose honourably in a british car than when rather lose honourably in a british carthan when in rather lose honourably in a british car than when in a non—british car! and then he went to drive for mercedes and had some of his greatest successes in mercedes, just like lewis hamilton so he was patriotic. he banged the drum for motor sport and you know, was supportive of me and we got to know each other a little bit when we were trying to keep the british grand prix and i was president of the british racing drivers club so we came together there to support a common goal. do you remember what he said to you when you won your title in 96, did you get a message from him at all? i used to get, through the press, because actually, we were reasonably distant i think during my racing career. don‘t forget, he had retired from the sport for nearly three decades before i got to formula one so he was there in the background, as one of the co—2 figures, the grandees in the sporty people go to to get a good quote but he was always very supportive of me. political sometimes, it had to be said, if he didn‘t think you had done very well he was a bit like a top schoolmaster and he would say so. you mentioned he was banging the drum for british cars, british motor sport. some people say that‘s potentially why he never won a world title because he was driving these fairly unreliable british cars. do you think it ever really bothered him that although he was widely regarded as the greatest driver at the time, he never took home that world title? i'm sure it was a disappointment to him but i think he was so stoic, he was brought up to believe in taking it on the chin and i think he very much covered that up. in any case, as far as we are concerned, up. in any case, as far as we are concerned , every up. in any case, as far as we are concerned, every driver who knows anything about the sport and all the people who follow motorsport is concerned and the british public, we regarded him as a great champion almost, you know, from the 19505 onwards. i think his career was cut short by a terrible accident. but eve ryo ne short by a terrible accident. but everyone regarded him as the man, frankly, he was the forerunner. and one of the biggest names in the sport. it was his versatility, wa5n‘t sport. it was his versatility, wasn‘t it? put into perspective how talented he was as a driver because in those days, they didn‘tjust stick to one type of car, one type of motorsport, they were driving different car5, all on the same day, taking part in different competitions, driving acro55 different formula and in such a dangerous era for the sport as well. very dangerous and you‘re right, they were like jockeys, they would be paid by people to come and drive their cars so they would have a co nsta nt strea m of their cars so they would have a constant stream of people wanting them to in events all over the world so he go all over the world. he did something like 512 races, winning over 200 of them. he actually won something like 40% of races he competed in in all kinds of vehicle. he won a race in 1955, he was 25 years old, he won the british grand prix ina years old, he won the british grand prix in a formula one car, sports car5, lamont, saloon racing. very versatile. they were in those days. whatever he turned up and drove in, he one n. —— le mans. whatever he turned up and drove in, he one n. -- le mans. where do you think he stands amongst the all—time greats of the sports, do you think? right up there with the great names, clark, stuart, hamilton, fangio. niki lauda. i don‘t think anyone regarded him as anything less than one of the greats. damon hill, thanks so much forjoining u5, lovely listening to you share your memories of sir stirling. he died yesterday, aged 90. thank you so much. some great memories coming through, notjust much. some great memories coming through, not just from much. some great memories coming through, notjust from the world of motor5port but acro55 through, notjust from the world of motor5port but across the world in general. sir stirling moss regarded and remembered as such a fantastic hero in sport, motor5port and just asa hero in sport, motor5port and just a5 a brilliant gentleman. catherine, thank you, stay with us, we are going to talk about another great name right now. stars of british comedy have been paying tribute to entertainer tim brooke—taylor, who died yesterday from coronavrius. in a career spanning 60 years, he was best known as one third of the popular 19705 5how ‘the goodie5‘ and a5 a panellist on ‘i‘m sorry i haven‘t a clue‘ on radio 4. let‘s take a look back at his best bits. we are the goodies. yes, we know that. and we are going to do good to people. # goodies! # goody goody yum yum. we had it tough. i used to have to get out of shoe box at midnight, lick road clean, eat a couple of bits of coal gravel, work 23 hours a day at mill for a penny every four years, and, when we got home, dad used to slice u5 in half with a bread knife. the infuriating little itch and you have to scratch. then the itching, it starts to spread down the shoulders. suddenly, it stops and you feel fine. it is at this moment that the left arm drops off. your chair collapses. and the standard lamp falls on your head. are we going to stand by and watch england‘s green and pleasant land... ? no! i am now telling the computer that if it will tell me the correct answer, i will gladly share with it the grand prize. he says, "what would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?" # the funky gibbon. # we are here to show you how. # ooh, ooh, ooh! # the funky gibbon. # just like you, so come on do the funky gibbon now.# we‘re joined now by impre55ioni5t and comedian rory bremner. morning tea. i saw you laughing through some of those fantastic bit5 of comedy. i was going to say what a lovely compilation, well done to somebody. such a varied career, he made someone laugh. graeme garden, who knew him as well as anybody, closer and in writing partner, he said people found him notjust hilarious but adorable. when people heard the news, they felt so sad, he was such a lovely, adorable man. we toured in january on was such a lovely, adorable man. we toured injanuary on i‘m sorry i haven‘t a clue, 50 somethings like me, 40—something like marcus blackstock, robert bryden, jack dee, we felt so lucky to be on the same programme because we grew up with the goodies. my earliest memory in edinburgh, 74, i was 13, the goodies. my earliest memory in edinburgh, 74, iwas13, queueing up at the bookshop, and meeting the goodies, getting their autograph, having no thought that 40 years later i would be sitting next to tim on the panel. the audiences that came to the live show, they couldn‘t believe it, 1800 seat theatre, rocking with laughter, the love, joy and affection they had, it was a wonderful thing. he was such a special man. you met him when you we re special man. you met him when you were 13, was it? yes, absolutely. that programme, for so many people, it was the best thing. one of the two programs that came out of the cambridge food like yours, he was president and 63. that review went to broadway, then australia or new zealand. —— cambridge footlights. john cleese, terryjones, michael paling, the monty python team, he was almost like a sixth member of the monty python team. the yorkshire man sketch, you saw that. i didn‘t realise he co—wrote that sketch and one of the greatest sketches of all time. he was absolutely at the heart, he was so modest, you would not realise, the heart of the great radio shows like i‘m sorry, i will read that again, that went to television. then the goodies, the sitcoms in the 805. but look at the autobiography ofjohn cleese, tim is on every other page almost. he was the go to character actor for so many comedies of the time because he was so funny, naturally reliable, great timing, so good to work with. real team player. i can‘t believe it was only january, we real team player. i can‘t believe it was onlyjanuary, we were real team player. i can‘t believe it was only january, we were touring away and you know, his lovely wife christine, very happy, very contented man and he brought that wonderful sense of, you know, he lived a good life, loved comedy, humour, people, it was a joy to be in his company. people say, he was a bit shy, quiet unassuming? yes, he was, you had to get the stories out of him, he‘d have this extraordinary figure, we were talking about the quentin tarantino film about sharon tate, he said, yes, iwas quentin tarantino film about sharon tate, he said, yes, i was working with sharon tate and hollywood rant about that time and we were like what, you worked with sharon tate? you had to encode the stories out of him. he was the least important person in his own life, really, he loved other people and derby county, he loved cricket, football, loved golf as well. but derby county, somebody told me he would go off at half—time and he would bring people back, to where he was sitting, bring back, to where he was sitting, bring back food, posh meals, cups of tea, to people sitting next to him in the stands. he was that kind of person, really. i suppose, we are all watching the news everyday but when it‘s a friend of yours, it‘s something, isn‘t it? it‘s a friend of yours, it‘s something, isn't it? well, yes, i only saw him, really, when we were working but as i say, because it was so recent and i spoke to jack dee yesterday and we all felt so lucky to be part of shows that he was doing and he had a wide range of friends outside show business as well, and if you want a clue to how his greatness, look at the people like graham chapman, bill 0ddie, graeme garden, how highly they rate him. his timing,jack graeme garden, how highly they rate him. his timing, jack dee said today he had a wonderful way of playing an injured innocent, and he played that again and again in i‘m sorry i haven‘t a clue and he played out so well, and you know, little things, you will remember. pottering around on tour. seeing him and his wife driving around the country together. he was such a happy man, he brought so much laughter to people. it's lovely to hear you talking about him. how are you doing, coping? we ask pretty much everybody does. yes, we are doing 0k. we‘ve got a couple of broken knees and ourfamily, two members of the family on crutches but the most important families out there are the people suffering through this. the wonderful carers and the health service, we are trying to support them, the equestrian relief, my daughter does a little bit of that, they‘ve been raising, i think of the last one is tonight, they raised a couple of hundred thousand pounds doing different activities. you get asked to do little videos of things for people to either boost morale some of the people working at the frontline or helping different charities who are there to support the nhs so i think that‘s the wonderful side of this, people coming together and supporting each other in a very difficult time. we talked about it when it first started, zara phillips, we talk to her about that and it‘s so lovely to speak to you, thank you so much. see you soon. see you on the other side! it's 13 you soon. see you on the other side! it‘s 13 minutes to nine, good morning, and thank you if you have justjoined us. britain is at it‘s best when faced with a crisis — that‘s what prince william told grassroots charities as he became the new patron of the national emergencies trust. jacky crawford, from the moorlands community charity and natalie webster from dal dy dir which supports people with disabilities, both received a video call from the duke of cambridge. let‘s take a look. there‘s nothing like a crisis to bring people together and it‘s worked fantastically.” bring people together and it‘s worked fantastically. i agree with you, britain is at its best, weirdly, when we are in a crisis, that immunity spirit, community feel comes rushing back quicker than anything. we try to encourage people to think about communities working together, you know, people thinking evenif together, you know, people thinking even if it something really small from home, they canjoin in. look out for each other. we are lucky in wales, we have a really good community spirit. it's really good to see that, the welsh are always very good at coming together and looking after each other. you see that in the rugby matches, there is a really good welsh national bite going on there and it's really important. —— national vibe. jackie and nataliejoin us now. i‘ve heard that when you heard this was happening he thought it was an aprilfool, did was happening he thought it was an april fool, did you? was happening he thought it was an aprilfool, did you? yes, i didn‘t think it was true. and then you got a video call from prince william and realised it was. correct. absolutely wonderful. really humbling how passionate he was about our small charity. tell us the funding you will now receive from the emergency trust, but that will mean to you? well, it‘s absolutely fantastic. personally, the amount of time it took a 48 hours after we applied, we heard we had got the money, it‘s going to make a massive difference to us, it means we can increase food production, fresh fruit and veg, by about four times the amount but we are doing now so it means we can continue to supply the community so it‘s just made continue to supply the community so it‘sjust made a continue to supply the community so it‘s just made a massive difference, massive difference. jackie, let's talk about your point of view, what was it like getting that video call? it was an absolute privilege, such a lovely man. very genuine, kind and caring. yes, it was lovely. a real privilege. how much did he want to know about the charity? he was very, very interested, particularly in how we very interested, particularly in how we spent the money to begin with. you know, it enabled us to hit the ground running and he was really interested to see how we use that money, particularly with our meals on wheels service so we could rapidly increase our production of those meals? and who are you taking meals on wheels too? the vulnerable and isolated people in the community. so it's quite a large geographical area so we cover areas like snaith, quite large areas. and it's for those who are vulnerable and isolated. we've run meals on wheels for 12 years now. we were well established. getting the funds from the emergencies trust was just fantastic because we were able to increase production of those meals, very, very quickly. the emergencies trust is a portal, isn‘t it, which will distribute money as you explain, natalie? very quickly in this instance to people who need it so can you tell us about what you do, specifically. we are a small charity that works with people with disabilities or who feel marginalised within the community, we do marginalised within the community, wedoa marginalised within the community, we do a lot of rural skills programs, we work in partnership with a local university, and we do animal therapy as well. how does that work? well, we tend to work with all sorts of different people, children and adults. we have a group of chickens, we literally do therapy and group activities. you can chuckle and i know, but actually, for people with profound disabilities, that kind of interaction must open a whole new world to them, in some ways? yes, to be able to have the space where you can work with animals that are really straightforward, it‘s really great for the clients that we work with. we also run woodland schools programs, anything rural really, makes a real difference for our people to be able to be out there, you know, engaging with nature and animals. really good.” you know, engaging with nature and animals. really good. iwant you know, engaging with nature and animals. really good. i want to ask about similar questions because it‘s about similar questions because it‘s a tough time for so many people, tough time for charities as well, jackie, how has it been going for you otherwise? it's been going really well, actually. as i said, we come together in a crisis as a community. it's not just come together in a crisis as a community. it's notjust about come together in a crisis as a community. it's not just about this community. it's not just about this community charity, it's about the volunteers that have come forward to support us. it's about the local council, coming together with those partners, many, many people have come together to make this happen. and it's notjust about meals on wheels, we were able to use the money to buy nappies, sanitary products for women. and toilet roll because obviously, a lot of people we re because obviously, a lot of people were struggling to get toilet roll, those particularly in isolated communities, or those self isolating, couldn't get out to the shops. it's been invaluable, really. but it's a true partnership in action, it's notjust about but it's a true partnership in action, it's not just about the charity. it's about everybody coming together. natalie, pick up that point, some charities finding it really difficult, donations perhaps not so many, not so many fundraising events, how‘s it going for you? again, the local community throughout palace has beenjust amazing. whether that‘s the public sector, volunteers, or you know, private support, we‘ve had great support from groups like tesco, morrisons, care in the community groups. —— powys. individuals as well. we‘ve been absolutely blown away by woodcock you

nine. we‘ve enlisted diana moran, better known as "the green goddess", to help us all stay active while we‘re staying indoors. here she is to kick—start your week with another gentle routine. good morning, everybody, another week of these extraordinary times. now, how are your knees today? an awful lot of people complain about their knees, especially as they get a little bit older, or maybe they‘ve been doing a lot of sport, perhaps overdoing it. so just some simple little exercises today to help the supporting muscles, the muscles that support the knee. sojust sitting nice and comfortably, perhaps to the front of your chair a little bit, just lift your leg, using that quadriceps muscle which, i said before, is a really important muscle to keep us mobile as the years go on. i have put my toes up towards me and i am holding that for ten seconds. that‘s good. let‘s just do the other one. straighten out the leg. very simple, today. pull up the toes and strengthen. you feel this quadricep working. and now we are going to stretch out the muscle, so same foot again, forward. toes uppermost, again. sit up first of all. breathe in, breathe out. incline your body forward. and feel the stretch in your hamstrings. that‘s good. hold the stretches for five to ten seconds. let‘s go to the other foot. take it out. bring the toes up. breathe in. as you breathe out, over you go and feel... only you know it. you feel the stretch there. now, we are just going to strengthen the muscles that are supporting the knees. and we get to do a little bit of stepping up. you can do this at the bottom of your stairs or outside, going in and out of your house. so up and down. that‘s it. just simply up and down. it‘s also quite good aerobic exercise, making you use your cardiovascular system. that‘s it. just a few more. and then, finally today, we will do some squats. just taking the support from this little tree. that‘s it. and back. good. so we are strengthening those muscles which, hopefully, will help prevent any pain in your knees. keep fit and carry on! i‘m quite worried i would get stuck ifi i‘m quite worried i would get stuck if i tried that. thank you so much to diana and we will have more from her on wednesday and friday. that‘s all from us for today. enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend! goodbye. goodbye. hi good morning. how are you? victoria
