Borisjohnson has defended his plans to relax the lockdown rules in england at a faster rate than the rest of the uk. The government has issued guidance to try to clear up some of the confusion that has surrounded the proposals. In england from tomorrow people can go outdoors as often as they want and can meet with one person from another household in a public space as long as social distancing is respected. If you cant work from home the advice is to go back to work from tomorrow. Guidance on how public transport can cope will be issued later today. In a new development for england, people are advised to wear Face Coverings in enclosed spaces like trains and buses. And from june ist there will be a phased return for schools and nurseries again in england. Last night new guidance was issued which limits class sizes to 15 and calls for staggered drop off and pick up times. Were also expecting an announcement by the chancellor, rishi sunak, on the future of the coronavirusJob Retention scheme which subsidises the wages of more than 6 million people. Our reporterjohn mcmanus has this report. There had been accusations that the Prime Minister s new strategy was confusing and it monday evenings downing street press conference, members of the public questioned borisjohnson direct members of the public questioned Boris Johnson direct me. Members of the public questioned Boris Johnson direct me. How is it logical that i as a Primary School teacher can spread the many returning children but seeing my relatives is still not allowed . Yesterday, he left the nation with more questions than answers. Why have you been so vague with who can start back at work in which businesses can reopen this week . Its when you come to take small steps back to normality, as we are now, but clearly the message becomes finer, more complicated. On sunday, mrjohnson had said people in england could go back to work from monday if it was safe and he advised against using public transport to get there, an impossibility for many. But yesterday, he said he didnt expect there to be a rush of people heading to their workplaces this week and the governments new strategy document has indicated our works pa ces strategy document has indicated our workspaces should be kept what he calls covid secure. All employers will have to carry out Risk Assessment before they can resume operations but its been called a step in the right direction. But the problem of public transport remains. The transport secretary grant schapps says he is working on operators on how to bring Services Back to normal but that wont solve the problem for most commuters, keeping two metres apart. One partial solution is masks though again borisjohnson said wearing them was advisory, not mandatory. And if people cant return to work, the chancellor, rishi sunak, will give more details about the furlough scheme later today just give more details about the furlough scheme later todayjust paying the wages of millions of employees. Labours leader says the governments messaging has sowed confusion. What the country needs at this time is clarity and reassurance and the moment, both are in pretty short supply. Looming overall this is the increasing death toll. In the last 2a hours, 210 people have died in the uk across all settings. There have now been a total of 32,065 deaths. The new strategy has laid out other details aimed at winning back a degree of normality to life in england. One idea is for a household bubble where two households can interact with each other but not with others. Another is for Primary School children to be back at their desks for a month before summer in class sizes of dean. There start and finish times in lunchtimes would be staggered, with more use of outdoor space. One measure which is uk wide is the quarantining of most International Arrivals but there is no start date yet. And in the developed nations, there is real anger at londons partial lifting of the lockdown. There is real anger at londons partial lifting of the lockdownli wa nt to partial lifting of the lockdownli want to reiterate that those announcements do not apply yet here in scotland. That is not, let me stress, for any political reason. Scotla nd stress, for any political reason. Scotland and wales will continue to tell the public to stay at home while stormont governments in Northern Ireland will hand out its plans later today. Our Political CorrespondentJessica Parker is in westminster. Jessica, the government has been criticised for lack of clarity but theres been lots more detail on how the lockdown will be eased in england, and more information to come. The public want information. There was criticism about a lack of clarity but there are more details. I think he saw that at the press conference last night with his pre recorded questions from members of the public because there was this big gaping hole after borisjohnson of course laid out his broad roadmap on sunday evening, didnt really fill in the details. Labour said there was a lack of clarity and reassurance and yesterday afternoon, the Prime Minister stood up in the house of commons and we got a kind of flurry of documents coming from the government, so we had things for example on schools, class ga class sizes, it should be more than 15 students to allow for social distancing, for work leases. They wa nt to distancing, for work leases. They want to ensure social social distancing rules are observed, so the government did start to fill in some of the detail that i think as you move from a more blunt, clearer, stay at home message from england at least to this broader stay alert message, the government are trying to get people to engage more with that detail but the problem was they didnt have the detail to engage with. We did expect more today on public transport as he was saying a moment ago but borisjohnson has been saying he wants to see people used good Old Fashioned been saying he wants to see people used good Old Fashioned british commonsense as well. As the government tries to encourage some people but the work, it could be an Important Development today. We expect the chancellor rishi sunak to date us on the Job Retention scheme. Thats paying it off a lot of peoples wages. 6 million having 80 of their wages paid up to £2500, running up to the end ofjune. An important update to the end for a lot of people as to what happens with that scheme. Thank you, just a couple, we will get more later. At 7 30 well be talking to the Health Secretary matt hancock. And before him, well hear from the deputy labour leader, angela rayner. About 7 20. So if you have any questions for them get in touch. Thank you for your questions so far. Its not just england where the lockdown is being relaxed. Singapore is also planning to let some businesses re open. Our Asia Business correspondent Karishma Vaswani is there. Karishma, whats the plan . Singapore is slowly beginning to relax some of the restrictions that we re relax some of the restrictions that were put in place a proper seven. They dont call it a lot down here, the government calls it a circus circuit breaker. But in any other consideration, it is lockdown. Business is like hairdressers for a simple haircut, alone longer than an hour. Go to the bakery to buy desserts and cakes but all of this as being extremely carefully controlled and managed in the singapore government has been relying on technology to ensure the people who do go into these shops go to the offices, they to virtually check in and checkout using an app called safe entry, because the government wants to keep tabs on people in case there is a new cluster of infections. Technology has become so much a part of the response here in singapore but if you go to one of the parks here for instance, you might bump into this robot dog, you can see pictures on your screen right now. Hes been trialed in some singapore parks to encourage people to maintain their social distance from one another. A vision of the future from singapore where some people have liked it and others not so much. Incredible pictures. We will speak to you later. An update on a robot dog, live from singapore. People have been encouraged to watch this years summer solistice celebrations at stonehenge on social media. Around 10,000 spectators usually gather at the neolithic monument in wiltshire on oraround 21june, to mark midsummer but this years event has been called off due to the ban on mass gatherings. The charity who run the event, english heritage, say the occasion will be live streamed on their social media. Anyone who used public transport to commute to work before coronavirus will remember the problems of late, cancelled and overcrowded services. So how will it work when passenger numbers creep back up and there are even fewer buses, train and trams with just a fraction of their previous capacity . Breakfasts tim muffett has been talking to commuters, as some of england prepares to go back to work this week. Avoiding public transport, easier said than done. This was canning town tube station in london yesterday. Adelaide filmed his commute for us. Hes a security guard. Compared to other jobs, compared to otherjobs, men working in security have the highest death rate from covid 19 according to Research Released yesterday by the office for national statistics. Later we met eric who is also a security guard. There were more people on the train than usual. How did you feel about that . Uncomfortable. Two metres instance. The information is not clear. So we dont know who to follow, what to listen to. For people who avoid public transport when they can, what you say to that . Its not possible. It is not possible. How are you going to travel from grays inn graves into London Bridge . I got to work stop this morning, the air was a lot easier easier. Work stop this morning, the air was a lot easier easier. The tubers definitely. Some people dont have the luxury of driving. Do you feel safe going on public transport . Not really, but theres no other option. People in england are being encouraged to ourface people in england are being encouraged to our Face Coverings and enclosed bases such as public transport. Scotland has already issued similar guidance and is likely to make commuting feel even more different than it does already. Why would you want to cure something you can prevent in the first place . I take the view that if its not being encouraged officially, its a personal choice and not one i take but ergo if they say we should, why havent we done it sooner . It was quite busy today, i was quite shocked that im not surprised. And we are now all being encouraged to wear masks. There was hardly anyone on the carriage that was wearing it, apart from me. How does that make you feel . Quite anxious, but im not surprised. In some places, public transport hasnt been as busy but on the metrolink tram service in manchester, example there are fears that his government guidance takes effect tomorrow, passenger numbers will grow. I think on wednesday itll grow loads more. My concern is being on the trains and being packed like sardines. If people dont listen, there is nothing you can do. If you want to get locked down even more. The first steps towards easing lock down in england are taken. The questions and challenges keep coming. Well bring you more on this issue at ten past eight, we will be talking about the buses because it is absolutely clear that social distancing will mean massive changes. When we do come out fully on the other side things will be different on many levels. Lets take a look at todays front pages. The daily mail leads on the governments announcement that families in england will be able to meet up again but say it must be outside and two metres apart. The times also leads on the new rules for england, saying people will be able to play an outdoor sport with a friend or Family Member from outside their household for the first time in more than six weeks. The sun reports that desperate grandparents could be able to hug their grandchildren from next month. The paper says government scientists are working on plans to allow over 70s to see members of another household. And the daily record has the unlikely headline of dont visit scotland, as the first minister Nicola Sturgeon warns people in england not to cross the border. I wanted to talk about this particular sadness in our household about this as well. This is about a beloved dog. Many people will know all about this dog. There he is as a puppy a all about this dog. There he is as a puppy. A gorgeous dog and he was a pa rt puppy. A gorgeous dog and he was a part of the whole programme, gardeners world. His 11 years old and he died yesterday. He enchanted millions of viewers and helped his owner cope with depression. He was a big star in gardeners world. At some point he had an accident and his death was announced yesterday in an emotional online tribute who said he slipped away painlessly and is now buried in the garden with a lot of tennis balls. He did love those tennis balls. He did love those tennis balls. He was much loved and caused many people, you are even quoted in this and. What did i say . Dan walker. He wrote sorry, monty. He was a much loved part of the experience. I would love it when he walked through camera and nigel would just plod along behind. Walked through camera and nigel wouldjust plod along behind. He spoke a lot about how both gardening and nigel help to stave off depression. On the back pages, sally will talk about this as well, the return of sport and things slowly changing. Footballers are still questioning whether the premier league should return. Danny rose last night declaring it was putting the lives of players at risk and this was after bram sterling revealed that some members of his family have died during this outbreak. So it will be interesting to see when and where it will happen under under what circumstances did you have. There are so. There are so many. There are so many rainbows out on display in windows and now dv and a have asked and now the victoria and albert new zealand have asked for some of them to be sent in. They seem to be growing in various places. The perils of the reply all e mail. When you hit reply all. Luckily i am not a fan of reply all. This is where you reply all and then all of a sudden within a few minutes it has clog the system and the whole server breaks down. Microsoft are putting in place software that will catch those reply all is with people saying take me off the list. The sort that shut down an office. It toe it spoke about a famous incident in 1997, referred to as bedlam dl three. One person sent a message to a mailing list with 25,000 people and within one hour there were 15 million messages generated by people saying take me off this list to and that used 195 gigabytes of data and took two days to restore the servers. There are t shirts that say i survived bedlam dl three. Were getting used to thanking all of our frontline workers on a thursday night.
