French President Emmanuel Macron has denied the country is planning on going into lockdown.

It comes after health director Jerome Salomon said this morning that he was 'extremely worried' about the situation and also condemned those who were still going out in Paris.

He said: "France will very quickly be overrun if people do not conform to the new measures. Cases are doubling every three days.

"A lot of people have not understood that they need to stay at home, and this low level at which people have adhered means that we are not succeeding in curbing the outbreak of the epidemic."

President Macron is set to make a televised address to the nation this evening.

The plan for the BBC to begin charging a license fee for the over 75s has been postponed until August.

In a joint statement, the BBC and Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: "Changes to the TV licence for people aged over 75 had been due to come into effect on 1 June. But during this time we do not want anyone to be worried about any potential change.

"The BBC's priority over the coming period will be to do everything we can to serve the nation at this uniquely challenging time. As the national broadcaster, the BBC has a vital role to play in supplying information to the public in the weeks and months ahead.

"Recognising the exceptional circumstances, the BBC Board has therefore decided to change the start date of the new policy. Our current plan is to now bring it into place on 1 August. We will of course keep the issue under review as the situation continues to evolve."
