that was a public information film from the UK government now at 10 o'clock the BBC News tonight at 10:00 the United Kingdom becomes the first country in Europe
to record more than 30, 000 deaths linked to coronavirus the UK is now second only to the United States in the world's highest number of deaths caused by the pandemic and is yet another day when the government's target for testing has been missed as labour pointed out the UK was slow it's locked down slow on testing slow on tracing and slow on the supply of protective equipment the ambition clearly is to get up to 200, 000 a day by the end of this month and then to go even higher we'll have the latest as the Prime Minister prepares to make a statement on Sunday setting out his plans to ease the lockdown also tonight there's intense pressure to get business and the economy moving again we'll have details of the kind of relaxation that ministers are considering in Germany it's a different story shops are to reopen football can restart and schools will gradually open in the summer term and as we approach the 75th anniversary of VE Day a permanent memorial to the Caribbean nations who fought with British forces in the Second World War and coming up in sports on BBC News the German Bundesliga is set to become the first major European league to restart the football season will the Premier League be following suit [Music] good evening the UK has now become the first country in Europe to record more than 30, 000 deaths a link to coronavirus the Prime Minister said that as part of the government's approach there would be 200, 000 tests a day by the end of this month he was challenged in the Commons by the New Labour leader circus Tama who said that the UK's high death rate was the result of being too slow on lockdown on testing and on the provision of protective equipment well the latest figures show that there were 649 recorded deaths linked to coronavirus in the last 24 hour period and that brings the UK total so could be eased next Monday and that he would set out his intentions in a statement on Sunday as our political editor Laura Coons Berg tells us small clusters of commuters Westminster quiet masks sometimes they're not lonely anymore one new normal has begun weeks after kirsten became the Labour leader the first of his weekly chance to put the Prime Minister under pressure I'm glad she's back in Parliament with Boris Johnson back at work back at the despatch-box – I would like to welcome the Prime Minister back to his rightful place in the tale but no hiding place from the rising coronavirus toll now tipping 30, 000 that's now the highest number in Europe it's the second highest in the world that's not success or apparent success so can the Prime Minister tell us how on earth did it come to this he's right – to draw attention to the appalling statistics not just in this country but of course around the world at this stage I don't think that international comparisons and the data is is yet there to draw the conclusions that we want comparing different countries statistics is difficult but it's not irrelevant and every number is another heartbreak just 9 members of Ron beards family bade farewell to him that a tiny funeral this afternoon he passed away in hospital last week after contracting the virus in his care home where his family had been told there was no infection and they say staff had no protective kits my mom sadly had to go to the car park and say goodbye to her dad through the window which which was pretty heartbreaking for her after having been by his bedside for so long I think that's been one of the hardest things for the family to deal with is not being able to hold his hand in times when he needed it and I know especially for my mom and her sisters knowing that he died alone after they had been at his side for so long was the particularly heartbreaking thing to come to terms with the priest did an amazing job and it was a wonderful send-off albeit slightly strange his last song as he as the curtains closed was she'll never walk alone what was happening behind closed doors and care homes know very much in public and political view deaths and care homes continue to go up 12 weeks after the Health Secretary declared that we're in a health crisis I have to ask the Prime Minister why hasn't the government got to grips with this already there's an epidemic going on in care homes which is something I bitterly regret and work we've been working very hard for weeks to to get it done in the last few days there has been a palpable improvement there's no consistent evidence that situation is improving the Prime Minister suggested some lockdown measures koozies from Monday will want if we possibly can to get going with some of these measures on Monday in this past chamber mr.
Johnson sometimes looked around for cheerleaders who were not there in this new contest of opposites in the end it's one on one and Boris Johnson and the government are under a lot of pressure in this pandemic on lots of fronts whether it's repeatedly missing the testing targets still trying to get a real grip of what's going on behind closed doors in care homes or winning the race that no country wanted to come first in being right now number one in terms of the death toll in European countries but we are about to enter the next phase of had the government's trying to manage all of this the Prime Minister confirming that on Sunday he will announce something of an exit strategy and he hopes that some changes could come into force from Monday but I think we will also hear a lot of what one Minister described to me as prodding as an example cabinet minister Robert generic already said today that construction sites and infrastructure projects in England should be getting going if they can do so safely so we are not expecting next week and we can't say this enough any kind of grand unlocking a throwing the doors open this will be the start of a gradual rolling back of the measures the stay-at-home message will disappear but this is not a process that is going to happen fast and everyone needs to be prepared for that lauric once again many thanks Laura Ginsburg there at Westminster as Laura was saying ministers are acknowledging that mass testing is crucial for controlling the pandemic so that cases can be isolated and the spread can be restricted but for the fourth day the government missed its daily target of a hundred thousand tests which was hit once last Friday and even that measure was disputed by some experts but the Prime Minister has now pledged to increase testing to two hundred thousand days we heard by the end of this month now how failure to Hue PEM looks at the state of the testing strategy and whether the right people are being given priority a busy testing station today run by military personnel and there was a range of essential workers wanting to know whether or not they had the virus and whether it was safe to get back to work I had to make sure the Koran go back to work I had four children to the pastor I had to make sure that I am fine I'm working frightful in the moment so I'm still working so it's important for me to obviously be safe for myself family I'm a teacher I've been feeling a bit up and down and sort of concerned if I and now thinking of what that we might go back to work the government's greatly expanded the list of those eligible to be tested over the last two weeks with a lot more Drive in testing slots and home kits bookable online a week ago just over 80 thousand tests were provided and the next day that figure went above the government's then target of a hundred thousand a day since the weekend it's fallen back to below 70, 000 yesterday it's not clear why that happened this is the entrance to Fairfield residential home we're currently on lockdown care home residents and staff have been told they can be tested vital checks so those testing positive can be kept separate from others but at this home they've tried several times to order tests for those who are unwell and have had no response and it's been argued there's no way for care staff to get fast-tracked through the online booking system the government's made very clear announcements about the fact that health and care workers should have access all health and care workers should have access to testing and yet the system that it's built doesn't have that prioritization in builds where's the strategy hospital leaders say even with the extra capacity it's still difficult to get NHS staff tested quickly if they need it there's not much point in having a test that takes up to five days to turn around if actually the individual member of staff is then spreading infection in the meantime so we absolutely need to ensure that every member of staff who's showing symptoms can get a test quick enough and that's not happening at the night the Department of Health said tests were available to more than 25 million people and the rapid increase in capacity was allowing testing for more workers who need it Hugh Pym BBC news well as we mentioned the Prime Minister will make a statement on Sunday on his plans to ease the lockdown measures that he says will come into force the next day ministers have hinted that the construction sector should return to work wherever possible and that offices public spaces and transport systems should be adapted to maintain safety and distancing our political correspondent Alex Forsyth has been talking to businesses and residents and local traders in morton and marsh in Gloucestershire the market town of Morton in Marsh is far from its bustling self life for many is largely on pause it's been strange it's Dave's had a store here for more than 30 years he's managed to trade enough in recent weeks to tick over but only just I don't think it'd be as good as it was ever ever this could be thankful for the trade we got already in the Cotswolds countryside this town relies on tourism as well as local trade tea shops cafes and pubs nervous about the future if social distancing is here to stay this hair salon just off the high street this similar concern the owners trying to stay positive and plan for a possible reopening but conscious you have to be close to cut hair I'm not sure what the guidelines are going to be and I don't think we'll be working at full capacity which is absolutely not good after being locked it down but until they turn on it tell us what it is I can't get a kind of action many businesses and families are wondering what comes next the official review of the lockdown is tomorrow but don't expect to hear much about government plans until Sunday and increasingly it's a question of how ministers balance concerns about the country's health with worries about its wealth and general well-being today the Prime Minister signaled some measures might ease from Monday but it's likely to be gradual on the edge of town Anna's two sons are keen to return to school finding work here at home hard I want to go back huzzah Cosima mate it's just stressful pressures on isn't it I just went out to like um sit down and start doing the work it's just tricky Oh wake up come back what's good a bit yeah say it like it is Jamie most immortan are simply finding ways to cope staying upbeat these neighbors meet every morning for some distant company I live on my own sea so just break the day up no end just outside town the garden centres tentatively begun trading because of essentials on sale but the past few weeks have been tough from thinking that we might actually lose the business to come in through the other side and we're now trading and it looks as though you know hopefully fingers crossed that we might survive here now they want clarity from government about long-term business support and to give customers confidence I need a clear message one way or other of what's going to happen the lockdown is an easy one to impose and taking the handbrake off is difficult now that happens will be decided far from here but felt across this town where many are trying to be optimistic the feeling the personal and economic cost Alex Forsyth BBC news Morton in Marsh now the government's job retention scheme supporting the salaries of over 6 million workers is estimated to cost 39 billion pounds by July now given the heavy expense the Chancellor has to balance the needs of the economy against the state of the government's finances and our economics editor faisal islam is here with me to talk about this let's talk about the balancing act and what is he measuring well government as a series of delicate dilemmas now that was very telling the Prime Minister in the House of Commons said that there could be an economic disaster not if the lockdown was prolonged but if there was a second wave of the pandemic and that tells you that what we get on Sunday as Laura said before is going to be step by step incremental baby step by baby step even in terms of the how the lockdown will change and I think that there are other trade-offs and die lemmas you know they haven't decided between the unions in the business what a safe workspaces yet and also on this issue of the job retention scheme the furloughing scheme you can see the government on the one hand wants to send out a signal that employees should not get too used to this scheme but on the other doesn't want to precipitate anybody taking action on jobs too soon it'll only be taken away very gradually as well all of these dilemmas on costs on jobs on health I think will be put into sharp relief tomorrow morning when we get the most thorough look at the economy we'd hoped it'd be a v-shaped bounce-back it may not look like that when we get the new forecast from the Bank of England tomorrow morning many thanks again as well as long that our economics editor now one of the biggest challenges for ministers in all nations of the UK is how to get children and staff back to school in a way that is safe and minimizes risk the BBC has seen research exploring the views of more than 250, 000 families in England Wales and Northern Ireland more than 80% of them told the website parent kind that they would be unhappy if schools reopened soon after the lockdown was eased our education editor Bronwyn Jeffries has the story Dean Jones is grappling with one question how can he keep children safe if they come back having looked our staircases they're not sufficiently wide so they would have to be one way up here down elsewhere to keep corridors clear it'll be teachers moving wherever possible rather than students here's a fairly typical classroom it would normally hold around 30 children typically now we expected to hold 15 for the key workers children at this Sheffield secondary a taste of how it might be in the future it'd be unusual cuz I you wouldn't see your friends and you won't get that you support from your friends that you usually get do you think people are missing school yeah because I'm like it's that sense of like normality and going to school on a weekdays and like seeing your friends Dean thinks they could manage just half the pupils one way corridors are a must considering staggering the entry and exit times to lessons we want to make sure that everyone in the first part family feel that we've reached a point where it's going to be safe to come back so spaced out classes for a few but still a lot of learning online and at home Taylor is 11 her mum wants to keep her home until the autumn I feel that the government should perhaps think about ending this year now and restarting maybe in September when when we know more facts six-year-old Marcus's mom agrees if my child goes to school and is mixing with other children other adults then that could then he could then come home and bring that into our home and at the moment our home is a safe place for him to be this primary school has tried setting out one classroom so this could be the new normal instead of children working together sharing things around tables each child at their own desk working in isolation but what about the youngest with just Riley and frankly it proved hard usually children can roam free in reception we have children from 2 through to 5 using these rooms here and explaining to a two-year-old how they cannot come up to us and how they cannot be with their friends that's going to be really really difficult if a child becomes upset you're going to want to go and give them some comfort if a child falls over and hurts themselves again you're going to want to help them out that not being able to do that is going to be very very challenging simple precautions go a long way but what schools want is clear advice and plenty of warning Bronwyn Jeffries BBC News the pandemic has forced health providers to rethink some of the services for older patients part of the strategy is to provide more care at home avoiding the need for frail and vulnerable people to go into hospital and then face the risk of being infected with the virus doctors say that they realized urgent changes were needed when they saw the plight of so many older patients in hospitals abroad I health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson has been exploring how it works I'm going to see was referred into their home treatment service yesterday in the midst of the coronavirus emergency doctors and nurses are taking to the road here they call it their virtual hospital delivering high-level medical care to frail older people in their own homes they're keeping the vulnerable out of actual hospitals to shield them from kovat 19 they have come to check on Maureen Matthews they treated her the day before we filmed after her husband Roger called 999 over to crash upstairs and she was lying on the floor Maureen Matthews has lung cancer and the treatment she's received puts her at particular risk of kovat 19 I didn't want to go into hospital and my doctor thought it was better as well so yeah and have this team of people come in as well he's it's great I think her name's Helen and she'll be coming in the next couple of hours either thought Sheila rode rid and set up this new service in East Kent in just two weeks ahead of the UK's coronavirus peak they now treat 85% of their patients at home we also on the tele what was happening in other countries if a fair lot of people particularly we saw it in Italy in Spain and we had an opportunity because we were a little bit further behind to think how can we do this differently this was our attempt to provide better services for our failed population 1/4 of people aged over 70 end up in hospital if they get kovat 19 according to research from Imperial College London and of those a high proportion NEET treatment in ICU providing hospital grade care in people's homes is something that senior clinicians here have wanted to set up for many years they never dreamt they could achieve it in just a couple of weeks but Hospital at home services like this run by doctors are rare in the UK according to research from last year here in Lenexa in Scotland where they have one of the oldest they're now trying to double the number of patients they can treat at home because of the virus hospital a home is pretty much what it says on the tin we're essentially providing Hospital level care specialist led but in the patients are in homes so we deliver interventions assessment into the patient's house and the only thing that's really different from the building behind me is the bed that the patients in around 80% of acutely ill older patients like Terrence bull are being kept away from hospitals just as in East Kent opposite ends of the country but the same determination to protect those most at risk from this virus Sophie Hutchinson BBC News well the picture in Germany is rather different Chancellor Merkel says that the goal of slowing the spread of coronavirus has been achieved so all shops can be reopened as the lockdown restrictions are eased and schools will gradually open their doors in the summer term Germany's federal states will take control of the timing and operate a so-called emergency break if there's a new surge in infections our Berlin correspondent Jenny Hill has the latest and Jenny what does all of this mean now than for Germany well this is Hugh a significant day for Germany with Angela Merkel announcing that it's come through the first phase of the pandemic the country is in a good place with infection rates falling steadily there's good Hospital capacity but that's meant Angela Merkel has been under pressure from the leaders of Germany's 16 states who are desperate to restart their local economies after a meeting today a reportedly rather stormy one they came up with a plan which includes among many other things the reopening of shops hotels and restaurants albeit with very strict social distancing measures they're also letting the Bundesliga Germany's professional football league start up again their matches will be played behind closed doors now it's not quite life back to normal just yet people here will have to wear ma on public transport and in shops the authorities will continue to test and contact traces aggressively as they can and additionally angela merkel's got those regional leaders to agree to an emergency break that means if an infection number breaches as prescribed targets set for the whole country anywhere in the country local authorities will have to reimpose restrictions immediately Jenny Mary thanks sergeant Hill there for us again in Berlin now in Brazil there's growing pressure on President Putin ro over what's been described as his chaotic response to the pandemic South America's largest nation has seen a hundred and fourteen thousand cases and almost 8 thousand deaths with rates still increasing but despite this and a health system under immense

state has become boleros biggest critics you have to virus to combat the corona virus and boson ro virus it's not time to discuss ideology politics campaigns or individual positions wrong this is the wrong way the right way to save lives and to respect the science to respect the medicine but in South Paulo's eastern suburbs quarantine offers little opportunity poverty makes sure of that the most vulnerable are waiting in line for government handouts and in doing so they're the most exposed local politician saying stay at home or to their president saying get back to work increasingly rules
