When you're hosting an awards ceremony during lockdown, the first thing you do is ask all the nominees to record a winners speech - just in case.

Well that's what Bafta has done in preparation for its pre-recorded Games Awards.

There might not be a traditional red carpet, champagne reception or live audience but organisers are still hoping to capture some of the magic of a live event.

"Sounds crazy doesn't it," says Emma Baehr who's in charge of the ceremony, "but that's where I think the excitement will come in".

Bafta made the decision to cancel its annual live Games Awards event at the the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank back in March.

It's been recognising achievements in the gaming industry for more than a decade and became one of the first major awards ceremonies to be impacted by coronavirus.

Given the rules around social distancing, host Dara O'Brien has been filming in his basement (still wearing a tuxedo).

The pre-recorded show will go out on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and Facebook.

Four weeks ago, Dua Lipa flew back to London after playing Sydney's Mardi Gras to discover her flat had flooded.

The singer-songwriter rented an Airbnb while the repairs were carried out. Now, she and her boyfriend are stuck there for the duration of the lockdown.

"I'm really enjoying it," she tells the BBC over the phone. "I'm doing stuff that I don't normally get the chance to do, just sleeping in and reading a book and catching up on TV shows."

Sleeping in wasn't supposed be on the agenda this month.

Dua's second album, Future Nostalgia, was primed for release at the start of April, and her diary for the rest of 2020 was packed - with a world tour, a Glastonbury slot and an appearance on Saturday Night Live all scheduled for the coming weeks.

But while artists like Lady Gaga, Sam Smith and Haim have delayed their albums due to the coronavirus, Dua chose to bring hers forward, giving it to fans a week earlier than planned.

Find out why she did it here.

A much-loved urban farm which was facing the prospect of permanent closure has managed to raise vital funds to keep running for now.

Deen City Farm in Merton closed to the public on 18 March amid the coronavirus crisis.

Spring and summer is the busiest time for the farm and brings in about £150,000 over four months which keeps it going throughout the year.

Usually at this time of year the farm would be crowded with families keen to see the newborn lambs.

The farm is free to enter and makes money from a cafe and riding school.

Manager Nick Golson said: “We’ve got 12 horses and 100 animals who need food, we can’t drop our costs that much. The minimum we can run on is about £20,000 a month.”

And the team at the farm was overwhelmed with the support they received when they set up an online fundraising page.

It has already raised more than £22,000 with hundreds of moving messages about how much the farm means to local people.

“Raising money is hard, there are so many good causes out there, we thought anything would be a bonus,” said Nick.

“To see it move on to the point where we have £22,000 is amazing.

“We had a lot of pocket money donations, it makes me very emotional."

Kingston Hospital is the first hospital in South West London to recruit a patient into a new national trial to investigate treatments for coronavirus patients.

The trial, run by the University of Oxford, aims to identify treatments that may be beneficial for adults who are hospitalised with confirmed Covid-19.

Currently no treatments for the virus have been approved.

The "recovery" trail will test treatments, some of which are commonly used for HIV or malaria patients, to see if any of them will turn out to be more effective in helping people recover than the usual standard of hospital care which all patients will receive.

Data from the trial will be regularly reviewed so that any effective treatment can be identified quickly and made available to all patients.

Dr Anna Joseph, a Consultant at Kingston Hospital, said: “In these unprecedented times it is more important than ever that we engage with research to find a way to combat Covid-19. The trial is doing just that. We are excited to be a part of this trial and hope that it will be successful in identifying a treatment.”

A new graduate from medical school who is stepping up to help the NHS deal with the coronavirus crisis said the public’s reaction has “put fire in our belly”.

Stephen Naulls is one of 300 new doctors who have just graduated from Imperial College’s School of Medicine and are preparing for a challenging entry to the NHS frontline.

The 24-year-old, who has trained in hospitals throughout West London, said: “I am frightened, I am nervous, I have trepidation. It’s forcing me to face all the feelings I would have had in August if I had started then, as normal.”

But the Clap for Carers nationwide gesture where people throughout the country applauded the frontline carers touched him and his fellow medical graduates.

“For me and my friends it was very inspiring and it gave us fire in the belly. It confirmed the decision to help," he said.

The college allowed them to sit their final exams at home because of the coronavirus crisis.

He is currently waiting for deployment.

The Living Wage Foundation says it is important to "pull together to protect the most vulnerable".

Nine-hundred meals for homeless people are being prepared every single day in the kitchens at Westminster Council’s HQ.

The authority – which looks after the West End and has the highest population of rough sleepers in Britain – is providing two meals for 450 people each day.

Help with making and distributing the meals is being provided by McDonald’s and Chelsea FC.

Nearly 300 places in central London hotels have also been provided to Westminster’s homeless population during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Black cab drivers have also been enlisted to transport homeless people to the hotels.

On the eve of the lockdown, rough sleepers in Victoria were fearful of no longer getting donations from passers-by, and worried about how to maintain social distancing in homeless hostels.

Westminster Council has now unveiled the huge catering operation that’s happening daily on the 19th floor of its Victoria Street offices.

The council’s catering is run by Unity Works, an organisation that also supports people with learning disabilities.
