Air borders public gatherings are banned. And. Difficult for millions of people. And. Major league to be heading toward town. Hall and go on for now. While the numbers get more alarming by the day if not every region of the world is affected by corona virus this sunday we have indonesia and thailand reporting new infections thailand with its biggest jump yet europe remains our focus the most shocking numbers came in on saturday when they reported nearly 800 deaths in one day spain has just raised its death toll by nearly 400 this is how it looks on the overall track which you know from Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. Over 307000 confirmed cases with 13000 deaths and as i always say dont forget the well its coming on for 100000 people isnt it whove actually recovered from coronavirus look at it on the map. You get the feeling yes it has hit every part of the world now but very much you can see that cluster of red in europe which is very much the epicenter now were going to look at the United Kingdom 1st of all with its 5000 cases and 233 deaths really chalons is there for us in well thats Piccadilly Circus isnt looking a little quieter today what is the situation with people staying indoors obviously not everyone is are they being ordered or is it still a strong suggestion. As you can see and it is wiser than it would normally be people on the streets and that is because although the government has shut down many businesses and premises the advisory to stay inside the cell isolates and socially distance at the moment full short of an outright border where the government is becoming increasingly strident and its advice and says that if it starts to think that people are ignoring this advice then yes it may move towards more stringent measures i mean as you say 5000 cases here in the u. K. Everyone knows the government knows but that is nowhere near the real level of the spread of viruses in this country everyone knows someone i know many people who believe they have had coronavirus this week theyve fallen ill with something with symptoms very similar because the testing is pretty minimal at the moment these cases are not becoming official. Other parts of europe though im much much worse here in the u. K. Saying that if you dont want to become like its really then you have to stay inside to get some other parts of the country other parts of it if youre much worse if you say spain reporting 400. 00 extra deaths in the last 24 hours or so germany is saying 8 more deaths carmakers are being asked by the government some have stepped in and helped produce medical equipment but its really is really that the worst of anywhere at the moment with giuseppe conceive the Prime Minister saying this is the greatest crisis in the country has faced since world war 2 all nonessential business is being closed until at least april. Yes on saturday we had a dramatic increase in the number. Yes 800. 00 there is a press conference thats going to be taking place in about 4 hours time. In italy i mean all eyes will be on that to see whether there is yet again another record breaking day of deaths in italy. Really just to 0 in on the u. K. Again where you are a sore a report from you had british officials you know reminding people dont hoard food supermarkets dont go out if you have but its still happening isnt and you have to wonder about why the message isnt really sinking in. Well i think many ways its a generational thing often this is the anecdotally from what im seeing myself that the people youre seeing out on the streets are younger people mostly i dont think younger people. Feeling that they are less in danger from this virus the than anyone else in statistically ready that is certainly true the deaths and the graver impacts of coronavirus. Towards d people into their old age so young people perhaps of waiting this is not so bad for me i might get a cough i might get a slight fever what some people are really considering and this is why the government is hammering this message again and again and again its not just about your health your personal health think about the people around you think about the country and think about who you might be passing got virus on to i mean that i think is that is the message that the moment the government feels is not quite getting through and thats why in the days to come if the government feels that people are still ignoring this stuff theyre still going outside theyre still hanging out in parks together and and not keeping the distance that theyre being advised to do then i might see the measures that other countries in europe take an already enforcing social. Forcings. We might see those things going to be ok rory chalons from london thank you for that now rory mentioned some of whats happening in europe there russia has announced it will send military medical assistance to italy to help fight the outbreak there thats after a phone call between a lot of mir putin and the italian Prime Minister 2 separate going to the death toll in israelis regionally 5000. 00 russia itself is reported 360. 00 cases most of them in moscow where one person has died an update on the situation in italy now with francesca bori who is a journalist in down along in northern italy francesca that help which has been offered from the russians cant come soon enough ghana who are today you know yesterday the government introduced new restrictions. Here everything is are no completely locked down then everybody is a tall mean to ding me now. We are waiting for the dying to die there is nothing else because you know that out of nor intensive care birds there is no oxygen for a water tended to all. Nothing and today the mayor here couldnt shut down the cemetery because it was the only place where you nor i should then. It was kind you know social gatherings because residents who went to the cemetery to talk with the dead since you know that are the few that outs and. And so is the only way i mean you can somehow tell something to to someone who died suddenly from his anyone and by anyone i mean literally in iran but especially Government People or medical experts are they able to give any sort of explanation as to why the death toll is so high in italy and so many numbers die every day. Well the 1st explanation for sure i mean besides the ever jay jobs creation. Is we are 2nd only to japan the 4095. 00 so its you know in all the population beside that of course is the is social explanation our way of living with Strong Family ties strong of course you know social ties but i would say family ties because especially because in the last years because of their welsh star cast these intergenerational guys. I mean families leave all together because its also a way to help each other with the elderly and the with the with the children so basically it is very very very come on i would say certainly nor among. In italian family in ordinary sami link to leave you know you have together grandchildren and grandparents and you know. Until i mean you are 18 years saw very very normal to spend lots of time you with your grandparents culture and when they are all they mean like its a 59095 year sort which is not which is anything strange here is normal. Italian families keep or they call me as longest possible because the idea is that if its possible you want your mother your father to go utah and now of course you know. Its been a massacre. Extraordinary francesca thank you for joining us do appreciate it from northern italy there. So russia is sending help cuba is also sending its medics to nonbody initially to help doctors fight the outbreak cuban doctors were on the front lines in the fight against cholera in haiti and against a bowler in west africa 10 years ago and augustine has a report now from havana. Over the last 50 years even doctors have saved millions of lives in Latin America Asia and africa now for the 1st time a cuban medical brigade is on the way to europe. There are 36 doctors behind me and 15 nurses i spoke to some of them over the last couple of hours and i can tell you that very proud they insist theyre going to italy of their own free will but many of them are very nervous catalysts of course im scared that when we went to fight a bowler in west africa in 24 team we were scared too but we fulfilled our mission there and we all came back with what we going to do is cure and bring relief not only to the italian people but the worlds population that this is a global battle and we have to fight it together its not even ok i transfer some sometimes why are you going on this mission if you know that cuban doctors have died on past missions. Because we are the cuban people this is cuba and were always going to keep. Some of the moment i dont know you. Registered 25. 00 cases of coronavirus substantially less than most latin american nations the country prides itself on its Preventative Health care system and boasts one of the highest stock to patient ratios in the world but the country is fragile economy is highly dependent on tourism and authorities only announced they would restrict entry into the island on friday. Were not closing the border meaning what were doing is regulating entry into the country people except those that are residents of our National Territory were not only our countrymen there are other foreigners that reside in cuba criminally were some who because of their work are here for several years. Cuba is lending italy these medics at no cost but for over a decade the leasing of doctors and nurses has been the islands top hard currency generator. With cubas Tourism Sector hit hard by the corona virus pandemic the communist party will be hoping that unprecedented Global Demand for doctors will help pay for the power food and Running Water cubans will need to get through this crisis a Silver Lining perhaps a dark moment. That report from havana were going to stay in latin america and theyve been violent protests at a number of prisons across colombia as panic spreads over coronavirus prisoners fear an outbreak of the virus behind bars the government has stopped to visit is in recent days in a bid to stop the spread of the illness will be in bogota in just a moment is going to check the map before we do that as we look at the numbers coming out of colombia there relatively low 210 confirmed cases with one confirmed death and yet lets talk to our son in bogota about that there is this fear about a spread and the prisons becoming central to it. Definitely. Overnight there have been a number of protests riots this turban says that at least 6 different prisons in different parts of the country and especially the most the more violent ones were here in the capital at the 2 main male prisons lot modelo and because. Where the shots rang out there were fires that happened in both prisons the police and the army was sent in to try and control the riots and essayists the Prison Guards there in the middle of the night the president of colombia and its tweeted saying that things were getting under control again inside these prisons that the government wanted to protect they made spoke relation as well but that of course riots were not going to be allowed to and now these 2 prisons in bogota and other prisons across the country are notorious for the level of over crowding for the very bad helton sanitary conditions inside of them there had been signs in past days that the situation was heating up inside the prisons some mates in past days that burnt their mattresses for example in protest the government had a ready and all visitors into into these prisons and so some of them are saying they want to get out because they dont feel safe inside the prison they fear that there could be an outbreak of coronavirus there and actually what happened last night in some way to have been coordinated they made say in the different prisons because again it happened in at least 6 of the main prisons in the country. Can you bring us on latin american widely seen it was bringing ins be securely strong restrictions in anything else headlines to tell us from around the region. Yes look at new measures being put in place on a daily basis in Different Countries as you were saying both in cologne because their numbers are not that high you have confirmed cases the same is true across most of the continent except maybe for brazil where the where the numbers are higher its also much bigger country but what were seeing is that most governments year dont want to take any chances because theyre saying that a scenario that could play out similar to whats happening in italy or in spain would be even more dramatic in that you know make and countries that dont have a Strong Public Health system in many cases where a lot of people depend on you know theyre having formal jobs dont have that kind of wealth. To sustain them through a major crisis so many of them are growing in full lockdown mode immediately thats what has happened in argentina its also the president there is considering extending it to be hot beyond the date of march 31st the same is happening in bolivia they Just Announced a quarantine 14 days here in book that as you can see behind me we already in full lockdown mode but now the nationwide lockdown will start. A wednesday the airports are closing pretty much except for Cargo Transportation this is the last day in colombia for foreigners to leave or cologne is to try to get back before all the International Flights are banned the same will happen with National Flights starting on wednesday and were seeing this happening and more and more countries again because the governments are saying this is the only way to contain it before things get out of hand. With the update on latin america from bogota thank you. The palestinian Prime Ministers announced a curfew in the occupied west bank all nonessential travel between cities towns and camps is banned Prime Minister mohammad says the restrictions will apply to everyone except for Health Workers bakeries and Grocery Stores meanwhile the 1st cases have been confirmed in gaza the Health Ministry says 2 palestinians are returned from pakistan on thursday are under quarantine all restaurants coffee shops and mosques have been ordered to close here is needed abraham with us now from ramallah in the occupied west bank i just quit gaza 1st of all media this is the great fear isnt it for gaza which is already under lockdown with 2000000 People Living in such close quarters coronavirus could be just terrible there and are the need is holding very still or that picture has frozen so thats a shame well try to catch up with a little bit later in the news are what youre looking at now india the worlds 2nd most populous nation which is observing a 14 hour curfew more than a 1000000000 indians are staying home to stop the spread of coronavirus with the government banning all International Flights and imposing self isolation for those returning from abroad almost all Train Services have been suspended till the end of this month for lizabeth purana ms the latest now from new delhi. On thursday promise in that interim order your request of the nation 1300000000 people to stay indoors and incredibly india is the streets eerily quiet you know most people in the country are staying inside from 7 oclock in the morning till 9 pm tonight but what happens after that so already weve had a number of states in fact all the states which are affected have decided to extend the curfew so states like punjab raja start in gujarat edition telling other just to name a few theyve extended the curfew in the 75. 00 districts in the country which have confirmed cases so thats around 10 percent of the country and weve also had other states closing their borders go with the Marshall Pradesh and search and northeastern states shutting their borders now this is all after saturday saw the biggest jump in the number of confirmed cases so lets look a little closer to the worlds 5th largest economy which spends less than 2 percent of g. D. P. On health care so how would india cope with an outbreak of coronavirus well lets numbers are lower than other parts of asia 341 confirmed cases but were talking about just 52 government Testing Centers so there may be many more undetected cases doctors serve every 10000 people in comparison is really we know is the epicenter of things has 41 doctors one state run hospital so its more than 55000. 00 people millions of it needs including daily wage workers are out of work because of a 14 hour curfew depend on Public Hospitals and actually india had the highest death rate in the 918. 00 spanish flu nearly 18000000. 00 which was more than world war one so were going to discuss this now with charlie a who is a professor and dean of the school of International Affairs hes on skype from new delhi and we appreciate your time sir but before i go into the deeper numbers which i mentioned there what do you think of this idea of a 14 hour curfew i mean it seems well what it seems largely symbolic for such a Huge Population lets put it that way. No i think a Prime Minister more these karl was heated by much of the general public across the country. Its been you know the compliance has been good and in fact as you know the social compliance is one of the key factors for stemming the transmission of corona waitress and many parts of the word are suffering especially in the west because the have a sort of compliance you know citizens were not really or be government orders and out actions so or india you know has the original b a k r in democracy where you know we really you know had a skeletor in one thing but i think your time of crisis like these people heeded the car and its more than symbolic you know because every day we have like this beach you know whats a brick on a chain of transmission is good for the one thing thats what t
