And more than 200 schools in south korea have been forced to close just days after they re opened, due to a new spike in virus cases. Most of the new cases are linked to large distribution warehouses. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are iain anderson, executive chairman of the Public Relations and lobbying firm cicero amo, and sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times. Lets have a look at tomorrows front pages. In the uk, the telegraph leads with a warning from police that theyll issue fines for anyone breaking lockdown rules by trying to see gatherings of friends and family this sunny weekend, before restrictions are eased on monday. The times says almost every Primary School in england is set to reopen on monday in defiance of the biggest teaching union. The daily mail says plans to quarantine travellers coming into britain are falling apart as border force and Police Officials here say the system is unenforceable. The guardian says the row over the uk Prime Ministers top aide Dominic Cummings breach of lockdown rules has prompted tens of thousands
of people to flood their mps inboxes in what some say is the biggest outpouring since brexit the Financial Times says chancellor mr sunak and Prime Minister borisjohnson are planning a big stimulus package, expected to be announced before the summer, amid warnings that britainsjobless rate may soon hit 10 of the workforce. And the express says Prince William and the Prime Minister have backed a campaign for a National Monument honouring the sacrifice of brave emergency workers and those who have died fighting the coronavirus. So lets begin. We will start with the times, most schools to open, sian, does this surprise you, given that trade unions really did not want this to happen . Well, its an interesting survey, andi well, its an interesting survey, and i mean, it does look at what will happen or what is likely to happen on monday when Primary Schools are expected to reopen across england. But not wales and
scotland, this is telling Boris Johnsons announcement just a scotland, this is telling Boris Johnsons announcementjust a couple of days ago that he wanted Primary Schools to reopen to many, many more pupils. As you say come its been hugely controversial. The biggest teaching union, the National Education union absolutely not 100 convinced that this was a good move. They have been resisting it. But in the times, tomorrow, we will see this story which is based on a pole of the head teachers union. The National Association of head teachers. They surveyed 2000 of their members and nine out of ten of those head teachers said they will be reopening their schools on monday for more Primary School pupils. So i think its still very early days. I think its still very early days. I think we dont know, even if the schools are open, we dont have any pa rents a re schools are open, we dont have any parents are going to send their children back and we dont know how many children back and we dont know how ma ny staff children back and we dont know how many staff or how many teachers are actually going to turn up to work. Soi actually going to turn up to work. So i think next week it will be interesting to see. My own view is
it will start very slowly with a few children coming back, and then it will probably grow as long as there arent any outbreaks. It does all goes smoothly and it does appear to be safe to do this. Iain it is early days, isnt it . Many teachers and pa rents a re days, isnt it . Many teachers and parents are worried that they are being used as guinea pigs in this situation. Yes. I was talking to a pa re nt situation. Yes. I was talking to a parent today who was actually asking me whether or not i could get some more information from them out of the department for education. 0n what this gradual opening up looks like. I mean, so, yeah, those had teachers clearly want to get schools open as this survey says. The teaching unions are much more sceptical. Certainly in england is a really big week. Its a big test because if schools start to open,
then mums and dads can start to go back to work. Its all about confidence. It appears some teachers, some had teachers are kind of interpreting the rules the way they would want to. Not the way the government has set out. So how the schools open or not in england in the coming seven days is a really important barometer as to whether or not the economy is going to open up or whether or not people have confidence. Sean, that is the case amazing to . Different schools are incrementing different measures, different social distancing from ideas of what a bubble should look like them unfortunately, for me, none of my kids are in classes that are going back, but in other cans are going back, but in other cans are going back, but in other cans are going back, but another cancer saying, well, my parents are going back for one to hear, wendy there, in terms of what ian is saying, about getting parents back to work,
iimagine about getting parents back to work, i imagine very few kids are going in five days a week. Well, i think, as i say, it will be a very sort of gradual, gentle easing in to this new system with more children going back to Primary Schools. As you say, there is going to be huge discrepancies checking the gems of children before they let them into the school. Theyre going to issue some of their teachers with facemasks, with plastic visors, with disposable gloves. There are other schools that will have none of that personal protective equipping tent will not be doing temperature checks. So i think temperature pa rents checks. So i think temperature parents will really be thinking what is my school going to be doing . Is a full my child bill . There is going to be thinking by their own personal circumstances. And a lot of parents are at their wits end with trying to home school into childcare and work from home. So i guess they are thinking if they need to go back to work, they might lose theirjobs if we dont turn up at the office. And
there will be a real incentive to send their child back, but there are some any factors at play here, and i think it takes an outbreak in a school and the confidence will evaporate again. At definitely count myself as one of those pans of the wits end with home schooling, thats for sure. Anyway, back to it on monday, cant wait. Daily near, sunlight at the end of the tunnel. Its glorious weather out there for much of the country, brits are ready to go barbecue and picnic crazy, as temperatures hit 25 degrees this weekend. That will be certainly the daily mirror saying and good news for the economy as people go out and shop. This is a very happy headline from the daily mirror. The daily mirror obviously no particular friend of the current government being very very critical of the overall approach, but, yeah, as we head into what looks like another beautifully sunny weekends, you know, they are
pointing towards light at the end of the tunnel. Just as we are talking about schools, this is entirely dependent on whether or not when people start going out and about, start seeing their friends, start interacting in the way that normal life is supposed to be about, that we dont get the second spike. A story i heard last night on the back of the downing street press co nfe re nce of the downing street press conference was whilst the bubble was very concerned about what was being asked about Dominic Cummings, and the chief scientific officer, actually, the real world was zapping each other about the ability to get going with the barbecue. Spikes and barbecue and food sales, all expected this weekend, but in that mirror story, theres the clear signalling again of the words of the chief scientific officer patrick balance that they are going to be keeping an eagle eye on whether or
not the our rate starts to climb again. Thats the warning really in the Daily Telegraph, isnt it . Dont try to see family or friends this weekend, because we are not supposed to be seeing more than our families until monday. A lot of people no doubt will be questioning, well, why monday, whats so important about that day . Why cant i see the loved ones that ive been waiting to see for two and half months tomorrow . 0r sunday . Well, because i think im you know, the idea is that we follow the government guidance strictly, so this weekend, the police can find you, and try to breach the rules, and this change in the rules, which is that book can get together and outside spaces, only comes into effect for monday, and certainly, what ian was saying is correct, as soon what ian was saying is correct, as soon as what ian was saying is correct, as soon as that was announced that six people would be able to get together in parks or even in private gardens, for monday, my whatsapp was flooded with invitations to barbecues. My
brother whom i am havent seen in eight weeks. For her friends brother whom i am havent seen in eight weeks. For herfriends havent seen eight weeks. For herfriends havent seen for eight weeks, it will be really interesting to see, you know, how people use this new freedom that theyve got, and which households theyve got, and which households they will choose to mingle with in they will choose to mingle with in the fresh air. Not until monday. Ian also warnings that will need to understand the overnight stays anywhere are still out of the question, people concerned that travellers will come in to beauty spots like the late district for example, and they are not prepared for it, but you think there does seem for it, but you think there does seem to be feeling that freedoms have been relaxed and people want to spread their wings now and are definitely going to be less cautious . Look, there are politics at play here clearly, given the events of the past week and the big
focus on Dominic Cummings actions, the government has clearly moved looking at some of the reports out of this age committee, its clearly moved faster in terms of lifting the lock and the scientists from the experts if you like to look a little bit nervous. There was another kind of story on that front page of the Daily Telegraph talking about how greg clark, the former business secretary, one of the chairs of the select committee wants to see if the two metre rule can be relaxed, certainly in time forjune the 15th to be able to allow more businesses to be able to allow more businesses to trade, to allow more activity to ta ke to trade, to allow more activity to take place, but actually, we did a survey at cicero, we got it earlier this week looking at Public Attitudes across the four key european countries, and the vast majority of people, 85 or almost 95 of people think that we are going to be social distancing for at least 12
months, or until we get the vaccine. There is a sense of, you know, this is going to be the way we live for some time to come. Put a hold on all of those weddings and other celebrations, there will be a large number of people. Lets have a look at the facetime weekend ft weekend. This is amidst fears that unemployment could rise by 2 million by the Second Quarter of this year. Its going to be badly needed this, isnt it . Yes. I think generation cobit is the generation that are really, really going to be hit by this. If its young people, its people under 30 who are always in the recession from their always the hardest hit byjob cuts, rishi soon at the chancellor saying that he plans to draw up a big job creation scheme i think is very very welcome. There arent many details in the Financial Times of the front page of exactly what that
job creation scheme would look like, but the very fact that its been talked about but its been thought about is hopeful its optimistic. There is a little bit of talk that it might involve broadband and green energy projects, but not much beyond that. Theres lots of talk that the education secretary, Gavin Williamson is drying up a skills package to retrain workers, because i think many, many workers are going to lose theirjobs, unfortunately. You know, as we come out of the furloughing scheme, and there will be industries harder hit than others by the new way that we are all going to have to live. I mean Hospitality Industry for instance is probably going to be very hard hits because its difficult to see in some pubs and its difficult to see in some pubs a nd restau ra nts its difficult to see in some pubs and restaurants how you can still make a profit over. If you stop to keep two metres apart. So, the whole idea that people have to think, well, how can i make a living in this new world . What new skills do i need . What this new world . What new skills do i need . What new jobs this new world . What new skills do i need . What newjobs might there be . And its very good that ministers are starting to put their minds to this. Theres also talk i think of a lot of volunteering schemes that may come on stream lot of volunteering schemes that may come on stream over lot of volunteering schemes that may come on stream over the summer to help young people and teenagers coming out of school looking for work. Something to get them away from their screens, get them out of their houses where they have been in lockdown, because we know that mental health, Good Mental Health is very tied to having jobs and kind of the sense that you have a purpose in life and you can earn a living. Lets talk about the end of 30s, generation covid 19, and this is the under 30s of a survey of young people who say they do not feel in control of their lives. Iain its very worrying and very stark for this generation, isnt it . It really is. You know, once again, in a way, the millennial generation even younger as well now, are going to be
hit like a hammer blow by the economics that rishi sunak we were just talking about him today the furlough scheme, now the real concern of furlough scheme, now the real concern of course furlough scheme, now the real concern of course that many of us in business every now and spend perhaps the most comprehensive economic package that we have seen from any government actually, and its got a lot of praise from business groups, as business gets weaned off the apps support package, which looks like its going to cost up to 100 billion, i mean, the numbers are just gigantic. What happens to those jobs and the trust is suggesting that 50 of 1624
jobs and the trust is suggesting that 50 of 16 24 year olds are very concerned about theirjob prospects going forward, and 72 are saying in this story that they feel that their life is on hold. So this speech that weve just been talking about, that you know, the chancellor who has been from i have to say incredibly impressive through this, andl incredibly impressive through this, and i think his poll ratings rather reflect that. This package that he unleashes is going to be so important, particularly for younger workers. Well, we will see what is revealed in the coming days and weeks on plans to help them. Lets have a look at a guardians front page. Mps have been deluged with angry e mails over Dominic Cummings and his breach of lockdown rules. Tens of thousands of people have flooded their mps and what say is the biggest outpouring since brexit. Thats according to a guardian analysis. Sian, we have heard that from the past with mps commencing look, these are all my constituents
are talking about from it seems that even though Boris Johnson are talking about from it seems that even though borisjohnson has drawn a line under it, many people havent. Thats right. I mean, its days now since we have had that Infamous Press conference in downing streets rose garden, and still, as you say, even if borisjohnson is desperate to draw a line under this and to say, look, Dominic Cummings has said what he has to say about his breach of lockdown, lets all move on, stay in post, still, we are getting these stories, particularly in the left wing papers in the guardian and in the mirror, which reflect, i think, guardian and in the mirror, which reflect, ithink, a guardian and in the mirror, which reflect, i think, a continuing public anger at what they see as one rule for the elites and another rule for, you know, the ordinary person on the street. So, tens of thousands of people have been writing to their mps, hundred and 17 mps the guardian has surveyed, and they have received
32,000 e mails between them, and of course, they include conservative mps, so weve got roger gail, 700 e mails, and really, still wants Dominic Cummings to step down or be sacked. Well, given that Boris Johnson has said its time to move on, ian, as a pr guru, what is your ta ke on, ian, as a pr guru, what is your take on this, as he and Dominic Cummings weathered the storm now, is it pretty much over . Its dying out. Ive been talking to mps all the way through this process, and conservatives all the way through this process in the past. Many of them are kind of ban in despair, Dominic Cummings really we nt in despair, Dominic Cummings
