Under draft proposals, employers would need to stagger start times and limit the amount of equipment that needs to be shared. Workplaces would also be asked to provide ppe if the two metre social distancing rules cant be observed. Andy moore reports. As we enter how sixth week of lockdown, deserted streets, like here in leeds, are all part of our new normal, but the government is now looking at how we move out of the current restrictions. The Prime Minister is not set to publicly outline proposals for easing lockdown just yet, but employers are already being consulted about a possible way forward. As part of a draft proposal, the two metre rule may be relaxed in cases where it cannot be observed, to be replaced by other means of keeping workers safe, such as physical screens and ppe. Under the plans, employers will be urged to stagger start and finish times to take pressure off public transport. Under the plans, employers will be urged to stagger start and finish times to take pressure off public transport. Workers considered vulnerable would be put in the safest possible roles in the workplace. People who can work from home would be urged to continue doing so. That means many offices would remain closed. It is all part of a very cautious approach to easing the lockdown to avoid a second wave. The British Public have shown amazing stoicism and understanding of the need for the lockdown measures and, quite rightly, they want to ensure that, if and when they are eased, that their eased in a way that makes sure that the british peoples sacrifice has been worthwhile and that we continue to operate in a way which means the Public Health comes first.

In terms of the agenda for today, there is a Global Online summit cohosted by the Prime Minister.

The other parties on that call are going to be canada, france, germany, italy, japan, norway, saudi arabia and the eu commission, we understand was talking about global effort, there is no us, there is no rush, there is no china. But the idea is to try and share expertise and funds to try and develop a vaccine. Thanks very much, helen. We will talk to the defence secretary ben wallace at seven to dump 7. 30. President trump has said he believes the United States will have a vaccine for coronavirus by the end of the year. He said he had done a greatjob managing the pandemic, and dismissed claims he failed to act quickly enough. Lets speak now to our north america correspondent david willis. David, what did we learn from his tv appearance . He talked about that vaccine which normally of course take years to develop for this to sort of virus. In deed there is still no vaccine available for either hiv or the ebola virus and white house medical experts have predicted it could be a year and probably 18 months before there is a vaccine to deal or combat there is a vaccine to deal or combat the coronavirus. But President Trump said it could be sooner than that. Indeed he said it would be sooner than that. This is what he had to say on fox news. By the end of this year. We think we are going to have a vaccine by the end of this year and we are pushing very hard because we Building Supply lines now and we dont even the final vaccine. We have Many Companies, i think are close. With the heads of them, i find it a very interesting subject, because it is so important.

Italy is easing its National Lockdown today the worlds longest of the coronavirus pandemic. Takeaways and parks are reopening, funerals can resume and some businesses are restarting. But the shutdown has left deep scars in a country with already serious economic problems, as our correspondent mark lowen reports. Italy is starting to reopen but champion pizza maker, teresa iorio, cant. With new rules only allowing takeaway for now, she will need more time to adaptand, after eight weeks of lockdown, she has taken such a financial hit that her business will struggle to survive. Translation it would be better to die than not to reopen, because it would kill my dreams for which ive sacrifices my life. It would mean losing my livelihood because my life is my work. I open the shutters in the morning and this is money for my sister, my niece, for me to live. A city of pizza, of spirit, of tattered beauty and past glories has been pummelled by the worlds longest lockdown of the pandemic. We were taken to see one of the roughest parts of one of the eus poorest regions and, in a place where the mafia typically profits from poverty, theres a fear they are doing it again. Until about 10 years ago, this was a no go zone for police, proving an image of social decay. But security has improved and yet this crisis has reawa kened long standing concerns about organised crime preying on hardship and it is what many other property hit areas well beyond italy could face too, as the lockdown leaves its scars. Carpenter, raffaele, tells me he has not worked in almost three months and may have to sell his television to get by. Theres been lots more crime since the lockdown, he says, even kids dealing drugs and stealing cars, since theres no work and they need to eat. Fighting the resurgence of the neapolitan mafia, the camorra, is this ngo, run by a priest, under police protection. They make up boxes of supplies for those in need, to stop criminal groups from stepping in instead. Translation the camorra is taken advantage of this current vacuum. They have always exploded italys moments of weakness and this is one of those moments. They provide help to people but then ask them to deal drugs in exchange or give them money. We have to give citizens the antibodies to defend themselves, to stop the camorra from reclaiming this territory. Singing. In the old town, musical solidarity, baskets hung to take donations from those who can, and give to those in need. A Health Crisis has become a social and economic one. The swansong of a lockdown that has halted the virus but wounded this country. Mark lowen, bbc news, naples. That is the picture in italy.

Customers and staff will have to wear masks, and therell be no hot drinks or magazines on offer, because of the risk of infection. Many businesses say theyre booked up for weeks in advance. You we can see why, cant we . M you we can see why, cant we . It is exactly what is going to happen here. We have got a hairdressing scissors, dont we . Were entering our seventh week of lockdown, and for most of us, life has been disrupted beyond recognition. As we wait to hear the governments strategy for eventually easing restrictions, many of us have been reflecting on our time at home, and our hopes for the future.

The risk versus the reward is, it is not worth it at all. The delivery of sunday dinners. Christine has come to drop off shopping and say hello from a safe distance. She is desperate to cuddle her grandchildren but as a nurse of the 40 her grandchildren but as a nurse of the a0 years, she is also prepared to wait until she is told it is safe. I think if people really understood how many people have lost their lives and been affected by this and be even worse, than that is enough of a reminder that we need to do this slowly. That was Graham Satchell reporting. So many discussions at this point, going into our seventh week, lots of people feeling anxious about how we get back to normal. Just talking to you this morning, wasnt i, imagine going on a packed train again or an office. When youre in a park at the minute walking your dog, you automatically walk away from people, and reversing that psychology is hard. Lets take a look at todays papers. The Daily Telegraph previews the Prime Ministers speech to an Online International conference, where hell describe the race to develop a vaccine as the most urgent shared endeavour of our lifetimes. It also includes a picture of a priest in germany, where Church Services have restarted with strict social distancing rules. He was standing outside with hand sanitiser for everyone coming in. The guardian says ministers are in talks with Tech Companies over the possibility of creating health passports, as a potential way of ensuring some employees can get back to work. The passports could, in theory, tell if a worker has had the virus or not. The sun has more details from an interview with the Prime Minister, which was First Published yesterday. It says the fear of never seeing his new son gave him the strength to beat the virus. And online, the metro examines claims made by us president , donald trump, about a possible vaccine being ready by the end of the year. That was in an interview he did with fox news. This is from the times. No, the guardian, this is about dogs, and a warning from the dogs trust, a dog is for life and notjust warning from the dogs trust, a dog is for life and not just for the lockdown after online searches for getting a puppy surged by 120 , concerned the increased interest in getting a dog could be followed by a spike in people giving up their new pets when normality resumes. Scotties are now the favourite dogs of the moment. We can go for a dog triple, three dog stories. A craze that started in time one a p pa re ntly a craze that started in time one apparently and is now being seen on social media. It is called round dog, cutting your dogs hair so that it goes round. Can you see that . Creative dog lovers have had their little darlings groomed to perfection with the end result being an eye catching illusion that their dogs head is a perfect circle.
