BBC World Service - Newshour, Is British government's coronavirus messaging 'confused'?

From 'Stay at Home' to 'Stay Alert', is British government's Covid messaging 'confusing'?

As the British government announces more details of its plan to ease the lockdown, it's been criticised for 'confusing' messaging as it shifts its central slogan from 'Stay at Home' to 'Stay Alert'.

Also in the programme: As Russia records its largest increase in daily coronavirus cases, President Putin announces an end to what he's labelled a period of non-working days; and the Amsterdam restaurateur with his plans for al fresco individual tables in small, greenhouse-style glass booths, to ensure a safe dining experience.
