The app is just one part of a wider strategy to test, track and trace the virus. It stays dry, visibly its hoped 18,000 specialist staff sunny for most parts of the country, join the rest will be at work by the middle of the month using widespread of today and the south west. Testing to stamp out still plenty cloud around the rain, any virus hotspots. Not as heavy or the winds are strong through this afternoon. But the slb, some dump weather the aim of test, track and trace anywhere from the isle of wight westwards and into south wales is to hunt down and isolate will cloud across shetland to the sunshine. The virus so its unable hes in a few spots, but the winds to reproduce, and crucially, test, track and trace allows us to take lightest in the north, away a more targeted approach to lockdown from that southwestern corner. While still safely it will feel pleasant in the sunshine we have. Its 17, 80 degrees west, as scotland seemed to across parts containing the disease. Of north west england and north east wales, always cooler than those eastern coast by embarking on this with the onshore breeze project and by embracing that will ease or through tonight.

Over the weekend. This damp fog patches will clear, theres been a total of 28,731; showers in devon, cornwall, pembrokeshire, cloud across fatalities in the uk. Shetland, but for most, a sunny and warm day. There are privacy concerns over the new nhs app, but the government says users only need to give limited personal details. There are also worries it may not be compatible with similar apps used overseas, and that could eventually cause problems for foreign travel. But in the short term, the current lockdown looks set to be extended on thursday, and we will have to wait for a broadcast by the Prime Minister on sunday to find out details about how and when the restrictions will be eased. Andy moore, bbc news. This morning, the Health Secretary matt hancock told the bbc that, by downloading the app, the public would be helping the government figure out exactly where the virus is. The more people who have the app, the better. And even if fewer people than the numbers you were talking about have the app, then it still will help to tell us where there might be hot spots, where there might be many more people having the symptoms and getting the tests, this is bbc news with the latest which will allow us headlines for viewers in the uk to have a picture across the country and around the world. Of where there might be hotspots latest death figures from the uk of the virus in future. Show that more than 30,000 people are now known to have he also addressed concerns died from coronavirus. About the the amount of information the figures show that more than 6000 the app would store once once it people died from the virus had been downloaded. In english care homes up the data is stored on your phone to the start of may. Until you need a test, a Smartphone App aimed at tracking in which case youve got to tell us the spread of coronavirus goes who you are because weve got live for the first time, to get the test to you. So it. In a trial on the isle of wight, the data is entirely stored on the phone, it doesnt go into some sort the government says the system, which uses bluetooth, is secure, despite concerns of database in the sky. So i think that we can give very from privacy campaigners. Significant reassurances we can give very significant on the privacy aspects, but what i can tell reassurances on the privacy aspects, but what i can tell you is if you download the app then you is if you download the app, you are doing your duty then you are doing your duty. And you are helping to save lives. A bbc investigation has found an Iranian Airline with links to the revolutionary guard played a central role the labour leader sir keir starmer told the bbc he hoped the app would work, but said it was important the government also increased traditional tracing methods. I really hope it works, because i think that testing and tracing is going to be crucial to getting to the next stage of fighting this crisis. My concern is obviously if it doesnt work, what then . And secondly that there was an app in singapore where, in the end, only 20 of the public actually used it. So there is a real challenge there, and what i am saying to the government is dont put all your eggs in one basket, we need to have the sort of traditional methods of tracing as well ramped up, because we may need them sooner rather than later. And allied to that, just one other point is i want to see the number of tests go up, up, up. At the moment they have gone up in the last week to ten days, but there are still key workers, key members, what we now need is testing for everybody whos got symptoms, everybody whos been in contact with anyone whos got symptoms. So we just need to keep that curve, the number of tests, going up and up and up, and have in addition to the app, if it works, and i really hope it does, in addition to that youre going to need your traditional methods of tracing as well, and i want to see them in place really quickly. Lets now speak to the conservative mp for the isle of wight, bob seely. Good morning to you. How does this artwork . It works on a bluetooth light scheme, so you download it, you put in just the first half of your postcode and your machine, your smartphone will talk to other smartphones and if anyone is showing symptoms and they have reported symptoms and they have reported symptoms via the app, that things that information where necessary to other mobile phones. One of the things we had to work out, and there will be glitches, is how sensitive that has to be to pick up relevant and useful information, so this is a test before it will certainly nation in about two, three or four weeks, to get the Software Elements ironed out, providing it is fundamentally sound, which is one of the things we will be checking. That implies you have to have bluetooth on and your phone on all the time . Unless there will be a reminderfor nhs phone on all the time . Unless there will be a reminder for nhs staff, god bless them, helping people with covid, they will be reminded to turn their phones off otherwise it will be pinging all the time. Unless you are treating covid patients, you will have your bluetooth on, and the challenge of keeping bluetooth and without draining your battery has been overcome, it can work without being an irritant to your battery or draining your battery, you can still use your smartphone is normal. Lets say we happen to be in each other because my company for ten or 15 minutes, we both downloaded the app and have bluetooth and you test positive, so it sends the information to me, what do i do . M asks you to do various things. It is not compulsory, it is not telling you that it is advising you that somebody you have come into contact with, it is anonymous, you will not know who, has now reported symptoms therefore you may wish to know the following, and it will give you a series of options. If you do not have a smartphone and you are feeling ill and you report your symptoms, that is initially picked up symptoms, that is initially picked up by symptoms, that is initially picked up by the human tracing service that comes with this and it will be put into the system manually using people to talk to two people who do not have smartphones, but if you have a smartphone you get the information, and likewise if a person then gets the all clear, you are then informed. It brings a running commentary on your safety as regards covid relevant to others. You said the human tracing system that comes with this, you do not we do not have this . This app is pa rt we do not have this . This app is part of a three pronged programme, test, trace and track. We will be downloading the app from this afternoon onwards, there is a tracing service of human beings who will support this and i will be a testing service, and one of the many benefits of us getting this first on the island to protect our folks, especially the at risk groups better, its we had a significant Testing Centre just for ourselves on the island to make sure we can process. You will either ask for a testing set via delivery or you go to the centre. I understand all that, i am just suggesting that we do not have the human tracing side of this yet, we do not have the people who will carry out the manual tests. 0k. Well, we do for our project on the island for the next few weeks, we do. One of the things that will be asked, maybe, as well as ironing out any algorithm glitches within the system or making it smaller sensitive to human contact, will be working out exactly the size of the army of traces we need to roll this out nationwide. But do we have the tracing service for the isle of wight . Absolutely. It is not just for the isle of wight . Absolutely. It is notjust the app, it is the tracing and testing and you have all three to make a success of this on the island. Quite a lot of scepticism from some people. Many people are saying they will downloaded, karen says i will downloaded, karen says i will downloaded, anything that helps stop the spread of covid i9, nick and many others online. Quite a few are saying, no thanks, i am worried about my data. What can you say to reassure them . I think there are a couple of points. On data, is there a problem in general about the use of data online . Absolutely. China is building a surveillance state, google is trading on personal information. None of that is releva nt to information. None of that is relevant to this app, this is about the most data friendly, data respectful app. It only asks for the first part of your postcode. That is it. There are 12 postcode districts on the isle of wight, it willjust know which postcode you are. I will type in the first half of my postcode, not even the second half. Only if it is asking you to ask for a test, you may have come into contact with others, do you want to follow this up . Then you put in your name or address if you want the testing kit to be dropped off, otherwise you can manually book yourself a test. Only then do i say i may have got this, here is my name and address. If there are problems of data privacy, this app is not pa rt of data privacy, this app is not part of that and the critical point here is that this is a next your layer of protection. We had to get rid of this virus and suppress it, and the way we will do that is by using the testing, tracing and tracking service we have here, and the rest of the country, once we have ironed out the glitches, the rest of the country will get it in 80 weeks. Thank you very much, mr seely. Bob sealey, conservative mp for the isle of wight. The Irish Airline aer lingus says it is reviewing procedures on its belfast to london flights, following a claim it is not observing social distancing measures. One passenger, sean mallon, took this photo on a flight to heathrow yesterday, showing almost every seat occupied and most passengers sitting next to each other. Aer lingus says the safety of customers and crew is its top priority and any necessary changes will be implemented urgently. There are calls for Funeral Services to resume in churches. More than 30 conservative mps have signed a letter to the church of england saying updated government guidance allows funerals to take place as long as social distancing measures are observed. A church of england spokesman said it has reviewed its advice regularly. A doctor in france has claimed that one of his patients diagnosed with pneumonia in december actually had the coronavirus a month before the first cases there were confirmed. The doctor said a swab taken at the time was recently tested, and came back positive for covid i9. The patient, a man in his 50s who has since recovered, said he had no idea where he caught the virus as he hadnt been to any infected areas. British new car sales slumped by about 97 in april, to the lowest level since 1946. Just over 4,300 sales were registered. The industry says they believe there will be half a million fewer new cars sold this year than previously thought. Stephen norman is the managing director of vauxhall motors, which employs more than 5,000 people in the uk. He told the bbc the future of the industry depended on Car Dealerships being allowed to reopen. For the industry as a whole, and obviously for vauxhall in particular, i dont think weve seen figures like this since the emergence of the popular car market after the second world war, so the market a year ago was 186,000 vehicles in april and this last month under 10,000 vehicles, so its something ridiculously small, and obviously, as you said in your introduction, what now needs to happen is, as the government announces the ability of retail dealerships to reopen for sales activity, and we can get everybody back to work, our ability to reopen the plants in the united kingdom, in luton and ellesmere port, and of course the same for our competitors, is dependent on a retail activity restarting restarting to pool the demand, as it were. The headlines on bbc news. An app aimed at tracking the spread of coronavirus goes live for the first time, in a trial on the isle of wight. Some of englands largest home care providers tell the bbc that theyre on the verge of breaking point over access to ppe. The pandemic hits the uks motor industry as new car sales drop to the lowest level since 1916. There are warnings of a growing gap between disadava ntaged pupils and those from wealthier families as a result of school closures. With no set date for reopening schools, charities and headmasters are worried about the long term implications for the most Vulnerable Children. John owen reports. For weeks now, schools that are usually a hive of activity have looked more like this. And for most schoolchildren, the new normal looks like this. With the exception of the children of critical workers and some Vulnerable Children, most young people are attempting to continue their education at home, with schools relying heavily on online resources. But now School Leaders and charities have warned of a growing gulf between disadvantaged pupils and their more affluent counterparts, and of the long term consequences that could follow for those young people who are currently being denied an education. We face a huge potential wave of educational poverty. There are some families that have had to stop paying for their monthly broadband because they havent got the money to be able to do it. I think there could possibly be a lost generation of young people. Carlton bolling academy is a comprehensive school in one of the most deprived areas of bradford, wi
