News diary 8-14 March: English schools reopen and top media bosses speak at Deloitte conference
Monday
Schools in England re-open to all pupils as part of the first stage of the lockdown exit plan. The re-opening follows potentially concerning news from the latest React study from Imperial College London, which found the decline in Covid-19 cases is slowing in parts of England. This has been compounded by a warning from Professor Andrew Hayward, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), that society will have to live with a substantial degree of mortality until life can get back to normal. Schools in Northern Ireland are also set to re-open as the country begins to ease national restrictions imposed in December.
A triple nominee herself, the Worst hitmaker will be joined by Rufus Wainwright among others during the Premiere Ceremony, and is expected to help announce early winners.

Jhené Aiko
For a long time Disney fan, Jhené Aiko’s dreams just came true.
The Souled Out singer’s new release, “Lead The Way” is featured on the soundtrack of Disney’s new animated movie Raya and the Last Dragon.
Not only is Aiko a Disney fan, she’s also a fan of dragons.
“I wanted to make Disney proud, because I grew up on Disney,” Aiko said about her big opportunity. “And yeah, it’s special. Where I live right now, they’re just put up a big billboard for the movie. So I was just like, ‘Look at that. Look at life.’ Just happy.”
