Coronavirus: Lockdown adviser quits, climate change warning and 'new normal'
Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Wednesday morning. We'll have another update for you at 18:00 BST.
1. Prominent adviser quits
Back in March, it was Prof Neil Ferguson's modelling of the virus's transmission that persuaded the UK government it should impose the lockdown. Now, though, he's been forced to quit as an adviser after admitting undermining those very social distancing rules. A reminder of them here.
2. UK warned over coronavirus climate trap
Funds earmarked for the post-pandemic recovery should go to firms that will reduce carbon emissions. That's the message from government advisers today. We know that we're living through an unrivalled drop in carbon output due to the economic slowdown - as these five charts explain - but how could a "Build Back Better" strategy work?
3. What will the 'new normal' look like?
Boris Johnson will set out plans to ease lockdown restrictions on Sunday, but what might they involve? From shopping to seeing family, the gym to the cinema, we try to make some predictions. And from recovery on a societal level, to an individual one. Health correspondent Laura Foster asks why some people take much longer to get over the virus than others.
4. Most firms 'ready to restart within three weeks'
A survey by the British Chambers of Commerce found, as you might expect, that businesses who serve customers are the least confident. Hear from companies in five different sectors about the new ways they're finding to operate. Elsewhere, how do you get a school ready to reopen? Our education correspondent Sean Coughlan looks at parts of the world making it work.
5. 'We've found our voice in lockdown'
For people with special needs and their families, the restrictions on everyday life have been particularly challenging, but in Oxford an inclusive choir is using music - and technology to come together. And in other uplifting news, Capt Tom Moore has been awarded a prestigious gold Blue Peter badge.
