Boris Johnson has tweeted out six updated coronavirus rules ahead of his long-awaited lockdown speech.
The Prime Minister included the government's new slogan 'stay alert, control the virus, save lives' in his tweet despite widespread criticism about its ambiguity from politicians and the public today.

The Prime Minister will outline his "road map" to a new normality in his address to the nation at 7pm.
His tweet, titled 'We can help control the virus if all STAY ALERT,' directed the public to;

It is thought the Prime Minister could begin to ease certain measures as soon as tomorrow - though the government has maintained any changes would be minimal.
In the briefing tonight Mr Johnson will set out a five-tier warning system for the coronavirus in England as part of the government's plans to begin slowly easing lockdown measures.

Mr Johnson is expected to say England is currently at stage four but moving towards stage three in his address to the nation at 7pm.
The warning tool - to be administered by a new "joint biosecurity centre" - will indicate at each stage how much more we can open up - and where.
Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government Robert Jenrick told Sky News this morning that they will be monitoring the threat level on a national and regional scale, meaning that different measures could apply to different towns, neighbourhoods or even individual work places or schools.
Mr Jenrick said: "Many people will be aware of the threat level that we've had in this country for some time, which measures the ongoing threat of terrorism and other risks to our safety.

The United Kingdom's other constituent nations - Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - have some powers over their own lockdown measures but are expected to stay broadly in line with what the government announces for England.
After parts of the plans were briefed to newspapers today people have expressed their concerns over how people will interpret the change in slogan.
Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said the Government’s new “stay alert” slogan risks ambiguity and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she will not be using it.
MS Minister for Health and Social Services Vaughan Gething also said that Wales would not be adopting the new slogan and there messaging has not changed.


thedailymirror--2020-05-10--WWE Money in the Bank: Preview, predictions and full card

This year 's Money in the Bank pay-per-view will make history as the first show to take ever place from WWE HQ .
Due to the coronavirus pandemic , the annual show is set to feature two Money in the Bank contract ladder matches .
The victors of the men 's and women 's bouts - set to take place at the same time - will have to climb the 'Corporate Ladder ' atop of the famous Titan Towers in Stamford , Connecticut .
The card on Sunday , May 10 will also feature no less than four title matches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Universal Championship against former champion and ally Bray Wyatt , while Drew McIntyre looks to overcome Seth Rollins as he defends the WWE Championship he captured at WrestleMania .
Tamina challenges Bayley for the SmackDown women 's title and The New Day defend the blue brand 's tag team titles in a Fatal 4-Way match .
Here is a match-by-match breakdown of the show : Back from his latest injury and personal problems , Jeff Hardy looks to kick start his latest run against Cesaro , another man whose WWE career looks unlikely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amazing in-ring ability .
This bout will be on the Kickoff pre-show and likely ends in a win for Hardy .
Sentences you never thought you 'd read in 2020 must include R-Truth facing MVP at Money in the Bank .
Who knows what to expect from this one , other than R-Truth having us all in stitches against his longtime friend MVP , a man who since his Royal Rumble return has been working as a backstage producer for WWE , but may earn one last win here .
The New Day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Morrison vs The Forgotten Sons vs Lucha House Party It 's always good to see new talent getting opportunities and WWE clearly sees some value in The Forgotten Sons , the NXT trio consisting of Steve Cutler , Jaxson Ryker and Wesley Blake .
Equally , Lucha House Party have enjoyed a lot of TV time since the pandemic struck , which has been equally encouraging .
But that 's probably where the line is drawn , as it is unlikely that we see either of these teams capture gold on Sunday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and count outs from the equation and John Morrison involved we are guaranteed to see some innovative offence from the competitors and this should be an entertaining affair .
But with the New Day 's sixth SmackDown tag title reign being so fresh , do n't expect any of the other teams being able to overcome the duo of Big E and Kofi Kingston .
With much speculation about a Sasha Banks and Bayley storyline due to play out , this match very much feels like filler to lead to that eventual big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into this one , other than the limited Tamina getting a win over Banks to earn her the shot , which shows that even WWE bookers are not fully invested in this feud on its own merits .
That said , Bayley is one of the top female performers on the roster and has been able to make the best out of a bad situation on more than one occasion , so there is hope the ladies of SmackDown can bring out at least a plausible match , which is likely to only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The former Wyatt Family members clashing for the WWE Universal Championship should have more gravitas behind it , but given the circumstances , it feels as though this match could potentially suffer the worst in front of an empty arena .
Wyatt has shown his creative genius as 'The Fiend ' , but we are led to believe we will be seeing Bray Wyatt , and a regular Wyatt match has very rarely been anything to shout home about .
Add in Strowman , who only seems to have one hit and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make for difficult viewing .
The only saving grace could be a victory for Wyatt in relatively short fashion to reclaim the Universal Championship for himself and 'The Fiend ' , which is not out of the realms of possibility , given the fan backlash after he was forced to drop the title to Goldberg .
These two have been putting in some stellar work in the build-up to this championship match and the next instalment of what is expected to be a long term feud will continue here .
McIntyre has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WWE Championship at WrestleMania , a title that Rollins is eager to reclaim from the Scotsman .
The Monday Night Messiah shows a great side to Rollins ' character work and has certainly built him back up to main event status , however , it 's unlikely that we see Drew dropping the belt so soon after winning it .
With plenty of angles to run off the back of this storyline , we can expect to see much more of these two clashing in the future , so there is no option @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , perhaps as a result of a non-finish or DQ .
Asuka vs Shayna Baszler vs Nia Jax vs Dana Brooke vs Lacey Evans vs Carmella Money In The Bank Ladder Match for a world championship match contract There are only three contenders who appear capable of winning the women 's Money in the Bank ladder match , despite the inclusion of Dana Brooke , Lacey Evans and former MITB winner Carmella .
Their participation does seem rather out of left field and more of a case of making up the numbers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally get a big opportunity to impress .
While Evans probably does have a title run in her , one would argue at this stage it would be too soon .
Equally Carmella and Brooke have not done anything of significance in recent months to warrant either of them earning a win here .
Much more likely is a devastating Nia Jax performance .
With a no disqualification stipulation , Jax has the potential to show the world the monster that she is .
With many fans questioning her in-ring ability , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to her advantage and show just what she is capable of .
But you have to question her abilities to shine in a championship match , something she hasn ’ t been able to quite master yet .
Asuka is clearly a fan favourite and while the green mist and Kabuki Warrior angle was an attempt to cement her as a heel , it just has n't turned audiences against the Japanese star .
With so much ability it is frustrating to see her main roster run almost erase how much good work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is largely out of her control and despite this booking , she remains positive and still one of the most talented women in the company .
The WWE Universe would love to see her in the title picture , however , it does seem just a little out of reach for her .
That leaves us with Shayna Baszler .
The former MMA fighter has so far been unsuccessful in her quest to win a title since leaving NXT , but that wo n't last for long .
With Becky Lynch losing steam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ logical step is to put the Raw Women 's Championship on someone fresh and new .
Step forward Shayna , who you can easily picture carrying the MITB briefcase and stalking down The Man .
Baszler has already proved in NXT just how dominating she can be as champion and it is only a matter of time before she becomes the leader of the Raw women 's division .
Daniel Bryan vs Rey Mysterio vs Aleister Black vs King Corbin vs Otis vs AJ Styles Money In The Bank Ladder Match for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this match certainly makes it intriguing and with six of the best of the SmackDown brand involved , it 's certainly no easy task to predict a clear cut winner , as all of these men can stake a claim to having the potential to claim a championship opportunity .
So let 's look at the competitors and try to whittle it down to who should win .
Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio seem the least likely candidates to emerge victorious , based purely on the fact they do n't need the MITB @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a title shot they are .
With both men more than likely willing to put anybody else over , we can remove these from the equation .
Aleister Black is a character for whom a MITB cash-in would n't sit right - his whole look and feel just would n't work with him carrying a briefcase at his side .
Black should be capable of reaching title contention through a devastating winning streak , not running out and surprising someone by cashing in when they are down .
With it almost guaranteed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main event picture within the next 12 months , we are ruling him out of a victory .
He got the girl , but will he get the contract ?
As much as Otis has got himself over with fans in a short space of time , it seems a little premature to be strapping a rocket to him at this stage .
His character is someone who really connects to the fans and as a result , his special moments should be saved for a live crowd .
He is also still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and again , the sense is it 's far too early to split up Heavy Machinery .
Based on that , it 's unlikely we 'll see Otis climbing all the way to the top .
That leaves us with two heels in a unique match , which history dictates favours a heel victor .
Both AJ Styles and King Corbin would be equally dastardly in their approach to cashing-in and while Corbin could probably eek out the briefcase for all its worth , many observers are leaning towards Styles becoming the victorious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Undertaker since Super ShowDown , it 's only right the Phenomenal One regains some momentum .
With his former stablemates Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson being released by the company , AJ will now have to go it alone , but it will certainly make for an intriguing storyline for arguably one of the very best talents on the roster to become Mr Money In The Bank for the first time in his career .

Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt collide over the Universal title, Seth Rollins challenges WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and two Money in the Bank ladder matches take place
This year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view will make history as the first show to take ever place from WWE HQ.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the annual show is set to feature two Money in the Bank contract ladder matches.
The victors of the men's and women's bouts - set to take place at the same time - will have to climb the 'Corporate Ladder' atop of the famous Titan Towers in Stamford, Connecticut.
The card on Sunday, May 10 will also feature no less than four title matches, as Braun Strowman defends his WWE Universal Championship against former champion and ally Bray Wyatt, while Drew McIntyre looks to overcome Seth Rollins as he defends the WWE Championship he captured at WrestleMania.
Tamina challenges Bayley for the SmackDown women's title and The New Day defend the blue brand's tag team titles in a Fatal 4-Way match.
Here is a match-by-match breakdown of the show:
Jeff Hardy vs Cesaro
Singles match
Back from his latest injury and personal problems, Jeff Hardy looks to kick start his latest run against Cesaro, another man whose WWE career looks unlikely to ever fulfil its potential despite his amazing in-ring ability. This bout will be on the Kickoff pre-show and likely ends in a win for Hardy.
Predicted winner: Jeff Hardy

R-Truth vs MVP
Singles match
Sentences you never thought you'd read in 2020 must include R-Truth facing MVP at Money in the Bank. Who knows what to expect from this one, other than R-Truth having us all in stitches against his longtime friend MVP, a man who since his Royal Rumble return has been working as a backstage producer for WWE, but may earn one last win here.
Predicted winner: MVP

The New Day (c) vs The Miz & John Morrison vs The Forgotten Sons vs Lucha House Party
Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship
It's always good to see new talent getting opportunities and WWE clearly sees some value in The Forgotten Sons, the NXT trio consisting of Steve Cutler, Jaxson Ryker and Wesley Blake. Equally, Lucha House Party have enjoyed a lot of TV time since the pandemic struck, which has been equally encouraging. But that's probably where the line is drawn, as it is unlikely that we see either of these teams capture gold on Sunday night.
With the stipulation removing disqualifications and count outs from the equation and John Morrison involved we are guaranteed to see some innovative offence from the competitors and this should be an entertaining affair. But with the New Day's sixth SmackDown tag title reign being so fresh, don't expect any of the other teams being able to overcome the duo of Big E and Kofi Kingston.
Predicted winners: The New Day

Bayley (c) vs Tamina
Singles match for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship

That said, Bayley is one of the top female performers on the roster and has been able to make the best out of a bad situation on more than one occasion, so there is hope the ladies of SmackDown can bring out at least a plausible match, which is likely to only end with Bayley's hand being raised.

That leaves us with Shayna Baszler. The former MMA fighter has so far been unsuccessful in her quest to win a title since leaving NXT, but that won't last for long. With Becky Lynch losing steam since headlining WrestleMania 35, the next logical step is to put the Raw Women's Championship on someone fresh and new. Step forward Shayna, who you can easily picture carrying the MITB briefcase and stalking down The Man. Baszler has already proved in NXT just how dominating she can be as champion and it is only a matter of time before she becomes the leader of the Raw women's division.
Predicted winner: Shayna Baszler

Daniel Bryan vs Rey Mysterio vs Aleister Black vs King Corbin vs Otis vs AJ Styles
Money In The Bank Ladder Match for a world championship match contract
The uniqueness of this match certainly makes it intriguing and with six of the best of the SmackDown brand involved, it's certainly no easy task to predict a clear cut winner, as all of these men can stake a claim to having the potential to claim a championship opportunity. So let's look at the competitors and try to whittle it down to who should win.
Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio seem the least likely candidates to emerge victorious, based purely on the fact they don't need the MITB contract to show just how deserving of a title shot they are. With both men more than likely willing to put anybody else over, we can remove these from the equation.
Aleister Black is a character for whom a MITB cash-in wouldn't sit right - his whole look and feel just wouldn't work with him carrying a briefcase at his side. Black should be capable of reaching title contention through a devastating winning streak, not running out and surprising someone by cashing in when they are down. With it almost guaranteed that Black is likely to be in the main event picture within the next 12 months, we are ruling him out of a victory.
He got the girl, but will he get the contract? As much as Otis has got himself over with fans in a short space of time, it seems a little premature to be strapping a rocket to him at this stage. His character is someone who really connects to the fans and as a result, his special moments should be saved for a live crowd. He is also still first and foremost a tag team wrestler and again, the sense is it's far too early to split up Heavy Machinery. Based on that, it's unlikely we'll see Otis climbing all the way to the top.

That leaves us with two heels in a unique match, which history dictates favours a heel victor. Both AJ Styles and King Corbin would be equally dastardly in their approach to cashing-in and while Corbin could probably eek out the briefcase for all its worth, many observers are leaning towards Styles becoming the victorious one.
Having been decimated by The Undertaker since Super ShowDown, it's only right the Phenomenal One regains some momentum. With his former stablemates Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson being released by the company, AJ will now have to go it alone, but it will certainly make for an intriguing storyline for arguably one of the very best talents on the roster to become Mr Money In The Bank for the first time in his career.

thedailymirror--2020-05-10--Government scientific advisor warns of 100,000 deaths if lockdown eased too soon

A scientific adviser to the Government has warned that the UK could still suffer more than 100,000 deaths by the end of the year if measures are hastily relaxed .
The unnamed advisor told the Sunday Times : `` There is very limited room for manoeuvre . ''
It is understood that warnings about the potential death toll were sent to the government 's Sage advisory committee early last week by researchers from the London School of Tropical Hygiene , Imperial College and other centres .
The experts modelled different lockdown exit policies `` to evaluate which were viable and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adviser said .
The source told the paper more than one model had put the death toll in six figures in some scenarios .
Boris Johnson acknowledged the scale of the danger , saying `` we 'll have to work even harder to get every step right '' now the peak is passed , before making a mountaineering analogy .
`` You have very few options on the climb up - but it 's on the descent you have to make sure you do n't run too fast , lose control and stumble @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sunday .
It is understood that a warning system administered by a new `` joint biosecurity centre '' will detect local increases in infection rates , with a view to locally altering restrictions in England .
With the alerts ranging from green in level one to red in level five , Mr Johnson is expected to say the nation is close to moving down from four to three .
On Monday , the Government will publish a 50-page document outlining to MPs the full plan to cautiously re-start the economy after figures suggested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has passed 36,500 .
The shift in messaging will come amid concerns that workers may not feel comfortable resuming their roles after the weeks of firm instructions to `` stay at home , protect the NHS , save lives '' .
Professor Peter Horby , chairman of the UK Government 's New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group ( Nervtag ) , said ministers should be `` incredibly cautious '' about any easing of the lockdown measures .
Speaking to the BBC 's Andrew Marr Show , he said : `` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not like a storm where we batten down the hatches and then it passes by and we walk out into the sunshine and it 's gone .
`` It 's still out there .
Most of us have not had this virus .

While Tarik Jasarevic from the World Health Organisation , urged governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it would be `` traumatising '' for people if they had to return to lockdown conditions should there be a second wave of infection .
He told Sky 's Sophy Ridge On Sunday : `` This is the advice we give really to every country is to be very , very cautious when taking these decisions to ease down the restrictions , because really what we do n't want to see is that there is a second wave and that we have to go back to the lockdown .
That would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So it 's important that this is done in a staged , in a gradual way , so we can really see what is the effect of people getting back close to one another ?
