the pressure to get the england road map right is really high. so it's not surprising, i think, that the signal we have been getting over the last few weeks is that ministers are likely to stay on the cautious side here. they really do want this to be the last lockdown. so, tomorrow is undoubtedly going to be a really big moment for england. it is the point where we will see this plan for what is going to get us out of lockdown. but in terms of seeing really significant changes to many, many areas of our daily lives, that sounds like it may be quite a few weeks off yet. sounds like it may be quite a few weeks off yet-— weeks off yet. helen, thank you. helen kat- _ the united states is on the verge of becoming the first country in the world to register half a million deaths from coronavirus. the infection rate is now slowing, but president biden's chief medical adviser for covid—19, is warning the country isn't out of the woods. here's our north america correspondent, libo diseko. remembering the lives behind the numbers. half a million people

is: this is an nhs england announcement covering england. ithink this is an nhs england announcement covering england. i think one of the challenges that the nhs has faced has been that up to now, there has been a bit of a sort of patchwork quilt of support, if you like, for staff. partly because, of course, the nhs is not one organisation, it is many organisations. and partly because, in different places, the sort of recognition of the importance of the mental health of staff has been quite variable. at its heart has been the recognition that, like any of the rest of us, people who work in the health service have got the right to access the same kind of mental health support as we have. however, that is a little bit more complicated, because sometimes there's a stigma around mental health inside the nhs. and sometimes, people can be reluctant to reach out and actually seek help. and i think these hubs are really an important sign that the nhs is taking the mental health of its staff incredibly seriously. notjust in terms of their response t
