With me are Daisy Mcandrew from talk radio and andy silvester, Deputy Editor at city am. Welcome back to you both. Lets look through the sum of the pages we got. tories revolt as voters turn on cummings reads the front of the telegraph, as more than 35 conservative mps call for the uk Prime Ministers chief adviser to resign. On the front page of the times, a report that the conservative lead over labour has fallen according to a Yougov Survey for the paper. And the guardian also reports on what it calls rising revolt within the conservative party, over the pms refusal to ditch cummings. Housing Estates will face new local lockdown, reads the front page of the daily mail the paper says schools, hospitals, offices and even Housing Estates will be subject to local lockdowns under plans to contain flare ups of coronavirus. On the front of the financial times, hopes of a speedy economic recovery with a photo of new York Governor Andrew Cuomo ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, which has restarted after two months. hancocks half hour reads the front page of the metro, which reports on how the Health Secretary promised a review of fines for parents breaking lockdown only to be, in the papers words, slapped down by number 10. farce and furious is the headline on the daily mirror. And some positivity to finish,
as the express front page reports that the drug remdesivir has been approved by the nhs for use treating coronavirus patients. So lets begin. Welcome back to you both. Thievy, lets start with the guardian, that paperjust lets start with the guardian, that paper just before lets start with the guardian, that paperjust before the weekend, and all headlines over the weekend dominated by Dominic Cummings. Rising tory revolt over the pms refusal to ditch him. He is looking under pressure and it is causing the Prime Minister a lot of problems. Does not seem this is going to go away does not seem this is going to go r does not seem this is going to go away very soon . For the Prime Minister as he said, it is the story that will not go away. The other newspapers, it is the story that just keeps on getting the day after day after day. If anybody is still watching the 5pm press conference as
they will know that they are totally dominated by it quite surprising that most people are not sick of this story. I am not belittling the story it is a very big story and significant but i find it amazing and enlightening how many people have been completely caught up in it, just anecdotally, people i have spoken to in the last a0 or 62 hours had mentioned that no matter what their political background. It is something that people are talking about and is dominating politics and dominating the front pages again. Some would say that people are talking about it but that is presumably because most broadcasters and newspapers are leading that this story all the way through but the polls are interesting, arent they, 87 in terms of the yougov. He 71 ,
sorry of responders saying they thought he had broken the rules regardless of their political affiliations. It suggested tory priority has lost significant amount of respect for its competence which is always let the tory party has relied upon, not necessarily liking all of them but you trust them running the country and certainly this is going to take a hit at that. It does not look like the government is about to abandon Dominic Cummings and it does not look like he is about to resign and allow government to move on so the question is as it is lifted over the coming weeks and months, what will the government be able to say to the British Public, you still have to trust x, y and z. And the questions will be about mr cummings. Ithink and the questions will be about mr cummings. I think it will probably be wise if you were to take a period of quiet shall we say and a
televised press conference might be a good start but this will hold over the government for a long time and breaking into the media and one thing the British Public does not forget is hypocrisy or cover up and so forget is hypocrisy or cover up and sol forget is hypocrisy or cover up and so i think the government will have to make a move to demonstrate its competence and moments like they did today, where matt hancock is pretty much sat down by the treasury for about half an hour answering questions in a televised press co nfe re nce questions in a televised press conference does not necessarily screen conference does not necessarily screen that the government is in control. The pm sufferers pull slump, the inevitability about the stories, the longer people hang on but are still on the front pages, we know what the outcome normally is, dont we . Know what the outcome normally is, dont we . We normally eventually get trotted out, i never wanted to be
the story i meant to be shaping policy oriented to be communicating, when you get advisers getting a Bad Reputation and they normally end up going to take the seat out of the government or take the heat out of the story. As we have just been hearing there is no suggestion in so far at all from the Prime Minister oi far at all from the Prime Minister orfrom dominic far at all from the Prime Minister or from Dominic Cummings that they would do that, the Prime Minister would do that, the Prime Minister would urge cummings to fall on his sword. But i think there are big ramifications because he did not play by the rules and why should we. And as we enter as i was saying that is very difficult tenuous and precious time where we put one foot wrong and we really could reap our consequences from that as we try to ease the lock but be sensible with it. So many people will be saying why should i follow what the government said if they break their own rules when it takes their fancy
cell it is making theirjob a lot harder and we heard from police today as well, some members of the police force said that it was making theirjob harder at bat when they go to break up parties on the beach or picnics in the park where people are not observing the rules, they are getting a shrug and a select so if cummings can do it so can i. He has another four years, this could all blow over, do you think the damage is really quite toxic and could see through the next four years . is really quite toxic and could see through the next four years . I think this is four years with and the vast majority of the government stomach cabinet of theirjobs to the Prime Minister. Newman looked at it and thought he is bringing together all of his former enemies, this is a cabinet that is ferociously loyal to
borisjohnson. And while there are back benches mouthing off tonight in constituency e mails, will that actually affect Boris Johnsons security, not at all but what it will do is forces the tory government for the next four years to talk about either brexit or their response to the covid 19 crisis. It is not obviously clear, when you look through the tory manifesto and the election that we had in december of 2019, remember those days . It does not feel like six months ago. But what this government actually stands for aside from building roads and getting out of breakfast and now it is this extraordinary unprecedented event. Getting out of exit. One thing they do need to know and one thing they are aware
of, the labour opposition has changed and it is now run by frankly company can claim that competent people and can ask questions and hold the government to account rather than the idiosyncratic approach is from the previous labour administers. It is embarrassing for administers. It is embarrassing for a lot of these cabinet ministers having to defend and hold the line, isnt it and it is causing some of them to say some of the most absurd things . Michael gove reckons he will test dominic test his eyesight. It wasjohn test dominic test his eyesight. It was john jumping. Test dominic test his eyesight. It was john jumping. It was absolutely weird. And also police break up an Illegal Party at tory mps come. So obviously going on. I was talking
to my mother today and she has to drive tomorrow, she is 81 and the first time she got behind a car since lockdown started and i was thinking about it and thinking i would tell her just thinking about it and thinking i would tell herjust to drive to the end of the lane because she will be quite nervous and it is quite a long drive. We came this round already but you never say go an hours round trip to test whether you are feeling nervous or up to it and certainly not do a michael gove or Dominic Cummings and say lets go for a long drive to test her eyesight. There is a width of something less than honest and straightforward coming off the government and obviously papers like the mirror in the guardian are going to keep battering them with it for as long as they can and it is a shame in many ways not from a Party Political point of view but observers point of view, i enjoyed the unity that came with the crisis
of coronavirus and obviously a certain amount of normal relations have now resumed and i am a bit sad for that brief moment of unity. Dominic cummingsa for that brief moment of unity. Dominic cummings a very divisive figure and you can see that and how he splits not only the cabinet but also tory mps, some of whom really are very unhappy because he led the leave campaign and whatever. What about him actually saying who would have organised this, could he not have organised this, could he not have said yes everett the guidelines, i got it wrong i apologise and we move on but the whole way of presenting this could be done differently and perhaps people would have been more forgiving . Throughout the lockdown period people had to make tough calls and we are not in ordinary times andl calls and we are not in ordinary times and i think had he gone to the public in the afternoon or in the
morning, he said this happened and i made this decision, it was not quite within the rules but it was the sort of thing and had to do as a family man, then we could move on but it does not seem an this governments dna to accept that there are shades of grey. You have to be very much on the ball with the government and everything it is trying. Is that this governments dna or all governments dna. You never admit you got something wrong . |j governments dna. You never admit you got something wrong . I would not say never ever because it does happen occasionally and it is very refreshing. Dominic cummings himself knows that and if you listen to that excruciating press conference in full, there were a few moments where
he saidi full, there were a few moments where he said i made mistakes every day and did not go so far as to say what those mistakes were and he was not a dream that this whole saga and have said was a mistake so he sort of half got there and he knows we want to hear from most half got there and he knows we want to hearfrom most politicians half got there and he knows we want to hear from most politicians some kind of admission of fallibility or humanity or modesty or whatever but he could not actually go the whole hog. He is not a politician or elected, he is an adviser and paid for. He is the most political person within number ten because we know he is all about winning, how to win and how to bypass the media, that has a lwa ys how to bypass the media, that has always been one of his ambitions, that we in the media screw up everything and steal everything and that the public just want to hear straight from the politicians. There are some people who would take
Dominic Cummingss line. We have alluded to matt hancock having to stand up and did the press Conference Today but looking at that picture, he looks quite content and harassed by this not particularly defying scenes on the doorstep as a collet his family home. Do you feel any sympathy at all . I think you would feel sympathy. Clearly mind and many other peoples minds he was going through and extraordinary family situation. No one wants to be in this position. No one in the 60 million of us wants to be an imposition that are in and that is forcing us to do things that do not feel normal, be that going to see our grandmothers or indeed defying the law because we actually have to
go and sort out our childcare. Is when he gets into my testing and things that itjust, the country looks at that with a cocked eyebrow. Those sorts of headlines, the hancock half hour and farce and the furious, and the metro putting the food in frankly to the tory government which is sight unseen for everyone going to work on the bus or train tomorrow. Onto the male, looking ahead because we had the second phase coming through with the shops opening up but the mail pick on that one isolated bubbles of lockdown as well. Housing estates could face new local lockdowns and that would be quite extraordinary, if we had one small area and a city
or town. This is the other side of the bubble, so a good bubble where you can see orgies to see people which is what we are expecting to hear next week and families could frequently see each other and this is what happens when you see a mini spike in corona cases and a localised area and then it would be and many lockdown and that area. Again, i hate to bore on about cummings but when people are told. This will be part of the track and trace policy that will be announced shortly and how it will work. But when someone has tracked and traced in one of these many flare ups might be discovered and your tillage you must then go into a ia day, not a lockdown that we are experiencing that proper isolation in your family cannot leave the house at all even though you have no symptoms, are you going to do that if Dominic Cummings broke the rules . Is that one of the
problems, when you are bringing in these big and new policies which com pletely these big and new policies which completely rely on national and population adhering to the rules, respecting the rules and the people who are telling them what to do and believing we are all in this together, particularly if by doing the 1a together, particularly if by doing the ia day isolation they will lose money and possibly lose jobs and Everything Else that comes with that level of sacrifice. This follows a massive support for the government in the early stages. Absolutely, everyone rallied behind the government but when you look at some of the polling, you have to understand that there are people in government and the state we are moving too quickly with the lockdown and the lockdown remains quite popular. Clearly the lockdown remains popular so a government that leads has to be the public and it
has to say it. And the messages are a tad inconsistent where you stay on one hand we have to work from home if he can on the second hand if you cannot work from them you are encouraged to go to work and it is a very Black And White message from a well that is shades of grey. Over the coming weeks the government is going to have to come up with some narrative, for why europe is moving pretty quickly toward something that looks like normality. No sign of a vaccine yet but the express talking about this drug which is being approved by the nhs, remdesivir, approved by the nhs, remdesivir, approved following successful trials so that is looking ahead and something perhaps that is offering more reassurance. Lets go on to the
telegraph though because lovely photographs on the front there of a couple getting married, a doctor and a nurse both on the front line, in sickness and in health. Of course a wedding im like so many others in this new era. It looks like a movie, doesnt it, they are both so attractive and of course the story is so romantic. It is this rather chilling quote that we wanted to celebrate while we were still able to do before we got else so it is this inevitability of medics on the front line in mind and they would get ill and give special dispensations and have the wedding in the chapel at saint thomas is hospital. And the reverend had a p pa re ntly hospital. And the reverend had apparently helped them arrange it because as we know so many weddings being cancelled but they managed to
get their big day and she had to rush out and buy the dress. And just underneath that, and 30 seconds, social bubble meetings likely by latejune. Social bubble meetings likely by late june. Opening up social bubble meetings likely by latejune. Opening up a certain amount of latitude but not very much when you look at the numbers. Absolutely not, it does not strike me as radical restructuring of lockdown restrictions that you have ever seen lockdown restrictions that you have ever seen but at the same time frankly the government enact case is following in Public Places right now and it is abundantly apparent that house child needing one other person. And people in pricing now or may be pushing boundaries of lockdown restrictions. or may be pushing boundaries of lockdown restrictions. I am afraid we are out of time but really good to speak to you both, thank you very much for going through some of the
first additions on a few of the papers. Thats it for the papers this hour. We will be back with more tomorrow. Good evening. Youre watching bbc news. Im Katherine Downes with the latest from the bbc sport centre. Golf to start. And world number one rory mcilroy says he believes this years ryder cup, due to take place in september in wisconsin, will be postponed until next year. Competitive golf across the world has been suspended since march because of coronavirus, with the pga tour set to resume next month behind closed doors, but mcilroy doesnt think a ryder cup without spectators would be a viable option. The majority of the players would like to see it pushed back to 2021 so that they can play in front of the atmosphere that they want to play. And they want to play in front of crowds. Thats what makes the ryder cup so special. And if the players arent on board
with it, at the end of the day, the players are the ones that make the ryder cup. And if they dont want to play, then there isnt a ryder cup, so i see it being pushed back to 21. And honestly, i think that would be the right call. Tennis star Petra Kvitova is on the same page as mcilroy. She also called for events to be cancelled if fans arent allowed to attend. The two time wimbledon champion says she would prefer this years remaining grand slam events to be called off if they have to take place behind closed doors. Wimbledon has already been cancelled, but the us open is still set to start at the end of august and the french open has been rescheduled for september. Premier league clubs will vote tomorrow on whether to return to full contact training. Squads have been in Group Training for a week, and coronavirus testing for players and staff continues. Bournemouths first choice goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdales confirmed hes the latest player to return a positive test. He says he tested negative
in the first round of testing last week, but in the second batch he was shown to have contracted the virus. He says he hadnt experienced any symptoms and is now self isolating. Two major sporting events held in the uk in march have caused increased suffering and death according to data from the uks largest covid tracking project. Less than three months ago, 250,000 people attended Cheltenham Festival and 3,000 Atletico Madrid fans travelled to liverpool for their Champions League tie. At the time, government advice was for events to go on as planned, but now scientists have found coronavirus hotspots in both cheltenham and liverpool shortly after they took place. Obviously, i think everybody would agree in retrospect that was a bad idea because the deaths that we see and the hospitalizations that happened a few weeks later. So we see now daily deaths increasing or decreasing, this is kind of a view of the past, going back three weeks. And, yeah, i think with the outbreaks, what we know and this is what who has been saying the faster you can respond and get a handle on the virus, especially when it is so infectious like coronavirus is and seems to transmit so easily, the easier it is later on to actually develop policies to manage it. The department for digital, culture, media and sport sent us a statement, saying. And we have a special programme here on bbc news, sport and the pandemic, on saturday at 2. 30 and 6. 30. World rugby are looking at measures to help reduce the risk of Coronavirus Spread in the sport. Research by the sports medical authorities has found the risks might not be as high as expected. Limiting face to face contact and reducing time in scrums will be considered, and hygiene procedures will be reviewed. New zealand is set to start a domestic competition injune, but there are no plans yet for rugby
to resume in the uk. The uks top swimmers are being told they can prepare for a return to training. Itll be a phased return, though, with only 32 athletes invited back at first and only those who train in loughborough or bath at the national centres. Divers and para swimmers must continue to train at home. And that is all the sport for now. You can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. Thanks for watching. Hello there. There is plenty of dry and very warm weather in the forecast for the next few days. Now, during tuesday, the very highest temperatures were found across eastern and southern parts of the uk, 27 degrees west of london. It was a bit cooler further north and west. Not an awful lot cooler, but actually as we go through the next few days,
were going to see this area of High Pressure, which is really dominating the scene, shifting a little further eastwards. Now, the winds are out of a High Pressure flow in a clockwise direction. So as the high shift eastwards, that will allow us to waft warm air northwards across just about all parts of the uk. But we start wednesday morning with very mildest conditions across the south, i3, ia degrees in cardiff and in london. Not quite as mild further north, but as we go through the day ahead, were expecting lots of fine weather, some spells of sunshine, a bit of patchy cloud towards the south and east of england and certainly more cloud into Northern Ireland and scotland. And that cloud mayjust start to fringe some patchy rain in across the far west. Those temperatures getting up to around 17 degrees there in glasgow. Once again, 2a or 25 across parts of south wales, central and southern parts of england. Now, as we go through wednesday night into thursday, we will see some outbreaks of rain pushing across the northern half of scotland, a weak frontal system pushing through. Further south, its dry with some clear spells on what will be a mild night for most, lows of six to 12 degrees. Any early rain across scotland
or northeast england will clear very quickly on thursday. And then as you can see, increasing amounts of sunshine. Bit of patchy cloud here and there, yes, but largely sunny skies. And at this stage, i think the highest temperatures will be found across western areas, so liverpool, cardiff, 25 degrees, but glasgow up to 22. A bit coolerfor some north sea coasts. Now, as we get into friday, remember, when you look at our maps and you dont see cloud, that means were expecting sunshine. A lot of blue sky overhead on friday. Again, those temperatures, 2a, 25, 26 degrees. Parts of southwest scotland getting into the middle 20s. Still a bit cooler for some of those north sea coasts with a flow of air off the sea, but as we head into the weekend, High Pressure does remain dominant. It should fend off this frontal system. Yes, we mightjust see a little bit of rain fringing into the far northwest of scotland at times, but generally speaking, its a dry weekend. And widely, it will be very warm, with those temperatures into the 20s. This is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. Im tim willcox. A special report from a london intensive care ward and the doctors who fear a second wave of coronavirus. I suspect cases will rapidly rise again. For the first time twitter labels one of Donald Trumps tweets as misleading. No end to the political row over the adviser to britains Prime Minister dozens of Government Mps demand his resignation. And the indian girl who cycled 1200 kilometres to rescue
