UK: PMQs taking place in the Commons chamber today at 1200BST (1300CET, 0700ET).
- Main topic of questioning towards PM Boris Johnson likely to be the plans for
unwinding the UK's COVID-19 lockdown. 
- There is little consensus on the speed or nature of the relaxation of
restrictions in the UK at present, with loud voices arguing that the threat of
increased transmission has not passed and therefore there should be no
relaxation. Equally loud voices argue the economic and societal damage caused by
lockdown is greater than that caused by the virus itself and the economy must
begin to reopen. 
- Johnson's own Conservative MPs believed to be restless at the lockdown
unwinding plans, the inability of gov't to reopen English schools, and the
14-day quarantine period for travellers to UK.
