19 crew members and two passengers on the grand princess have tested positive for covid i9. Well also examine President Trumps claims about how hes handling the crisis. And the World Health Organization says the outbreak is close to turning into a pandemic well bring you the latest lines and developments from countries around the world. But that the virus can still be contained. Let me give you a comprehensive update on the coronavirus outbreak. Were starting with breaking coronavirus news from italy. We know over a50 people have very been killed there, nearly 1,000 people have been infected and in the last 30 minutes, the government has taken a further drastic measure. The whole country has now been placed under lockdown. 15 provinces had been put under qurantine as of monday morning to contain the spread, but by the evening the government deciding more needs to be done. Whats with this in context, already what is happened so to put this in context these measures are the most restrictive in italy since the second world war. All schools and universities across the country are shut, sporting events cancelled, and only those with an urgent work or Family Reason can travel. The original area included milan italys financial hub. Heres one journalists account of being there. I think people are starting to wake up really to what is happening not only because of the measures that have been taken but also the way they were communicated. I think the government is trying to make sure that people should not panic within this but at the same time, it is really important to be responsible in this moment and hopefully now, people are going to start becoming more responsible and just stay home as much as they can. But not everything has ground to a halt. Some flights are still operating and trains are still running. And to be clear, access to these quarantined areas is not being strictly monitored. Heres mark lowen near the border of the modena region. As we drove north from rome, we expected tighter controls but there are none. We are coming into the start of modena now, part of the new exclusion zone. And you can see there is no total lockdown. There are no police roadblocks for example. It is too big an area to control in that way, but people are being asked not to leave or enter, and we are going to turn around now because otherwise there is a risk of entering the new quarantine zone. Well, mark isnt the only person turning away. Tourists are doing the same thing. Watts of people have been sharing images of empty flights heading in the direction of it away. A lot of people. Some places like rome which until the announcement from the last hour which was now in the original quarantine until. Now we know the government is planning to pump billions over 60 million tourists visit each year so the economic fallout from this will be considerable. Now we know the government is planning to pump billions into the economy in what its calling massive shock therapy. We wont know for months if its worked. But in the quarantined areas, as youd imagine Business Owners are concerned. My mother has a Small Business 20 minutes away from milan with one employee and two trainees and she felt that she would have to close her business for a month and that she was worried about her employees, but actually our local authorities made it pretty clear that business can keep running but the owner of the business has to ground here. So, as to not spread among clients and visitors. Italy is a particular concern because of its large Elderly Population it has the highest proportion of over 65s in the eu. By that measure, globally, onlyjapan has an older population. Germany has the third oldest population. And as we know, older people are by far at the greatest risk from this coronavirus. They also, of course, have the greatest need for healthcare all round. And this is the double concern older people being exposed to the virus, and the virus impacting on Health Service resources more broadly. Heres one italian virologist. This is actually the biggest concern that we have at the moment because intensive care wards are being filled with patients mainly with elderly people that have a severe respiratory form or a mild respiratory form and they go to the hospital. And so the semi intensive and the intensive care units are just full and what is they are reprioritising the activities of the hospital, of the hospitals involved, and this means the patients that had to have other types of surgery or other types of treatment dont have access to the treatment. So, its a very, very difficult situation. A reminder of this dramatic announcement made by the time Prime Minister that the entire country, the whole of italy is recording. Well, here is the prime minsiter giuseppe conte. Translation there will be no more red zones, no more zones one and two, there will be one it with a protected zone, the whole territory. Movement will be restricted. So, it would no longer divided into two, the entire country is seen the movement of people restricted. This story is morphing into so many different crises. There have been riots in 27 italian prisons. The trouble began in the Northern City of modena. Inmates had been told that personal visits were being suspended. Six people have died there. We know there was a fire in one cell block. Others died from a methadone overdose after breaking into the infirmary. In fojja in the south, over 50 prisoners escaped from a prison. 32 have been recaptured. And next lets look at the situation san vittore prison in milan. Here are inmates climbing onto the roof of the facility. Their banners call for pardons and better medical support to protect them from the virus. Two quite seperate demands there. Outside the prison, their relatives joined the protest. Heres one prisoners wife. Translation we see that our relatives have nothing. They have no masks, they have no treatment, they have nothing. We have heard six people have died asa we have heard six people have died as a consequence. And those people you mentioned in the south of italy, 20 of them are still missing so italy, 20 of them are still missing so they have managed to escape. As the primary concern of prisoners that they cannot be kept safe while this virus is spreading . It is twofold, that is the main concern but some of the protests broke out asa but some of the protests broke out as a consequence of these new measures that you mentioned have been introduced by the government meaning that all families have been banned from visiting and so inmates reportedly were very angry and started protesting as a consequence of that. In the quarantined areas what are we learning about how people are reacting to the specific are they following the rules . From what i have heard and from. People are following the words russell sub people in milan are feeling quite anxious and hadnt left home in abouta quite anxious and hadnt left home in about a week so i feel people are taking this very seriously in northern italy. Whereas in the rest of the country things are different. There was a bit of a controversy at the weekend whereabouts of young people under 30s went out to go to the restaurant for drinks and went to the beach on sunday which goes directly against what the government is recommended. I have spoken with young people who told me that they wa nt to young people who told me that they want to go on with their wives as normal. They feel that the virus doesnt really affect them because they are young. This has been hugely criticised by the government and the rest of the country. To be clear the bars are open, the beaches are open so the government is not shutting down completely. Not in the rest of italy. In the northern parts of the country, they are affected by this new measures, bars and restaurants have to close at 6pm which will be really bad for business as italians have dinner at eight or nine for business as italians have dinner at eight or nine. Churches can stay open but masses will be cancelled which is a big deal in italy which isa which is a big deal in italy which is a very catholic country and all gyms, schools, universities, theatres, cinemas are to remain shut until further notice. So theatres, cinemas are to remain shut untilfurther notice. So if theatres, cinemas are to remain shut until further notice. So if you theatres, cinemas are to remain shut untilfurther notice. So if you go for a stroll in milan or venice today, it will look unrecognisable. This coronavirus outbreak is now testing economies, Health Systems and governments around the world. Across the next half an hour well have updates from italy, the us, ireland, israel, iran, china, the uk and elsewhere. The number of cases worldwide is over 110,000 in more than 110 countries and territories the death toll is close a000, over 60,000 people have recovered. Well have the latest on its spread in a moment but this is notjust a health crisis, its an economic crisis too. Today, share prices nose dived. Weve seen the heaviest falls since the financial crisis in 2008. This is what the s p 500 looked like which features 500 of the Biggest Companies in the us. It was down 8 within minutes. The dowjones index, which features 30 of americas Biggest Companies, was down 6 . Prices fell so quickly that trading was paused. When it resumed, there was no let up. Samira hussain is at the New York Stock Exchange. The last few weeks have been really dramatic, but really, what happened today was something that i have never seen on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Shortly after opening, we saw that the dow had dropped by 2,000 points. It triggered an automatic stop to trading. It is this halt, this safety mechanism that exists on the exchanges, that if there is a drop of 7 or more on the s p, that the trading will stop for 15 minutes. It gives traders, it gives investors, everyone really, a chance to stop and take a breath and take stock of where they are. Here in the uk, the ftse100, the 100 Biggest Companies listed on the london stock exchange, was down. Its worst day since 2008. Also, the main stock market indexes in france, germany, and spain were down more than 7 lower. This is bloombergs index of a0 Major Companies on the milan exchange, down 11 . One of the key drivers of all of this was the price of oil. All driven by a stand off between saudi arabia, the second biggest oil producer, and russia, the third biggest. Saudi arabia is part of opec a grouping of Oil Producing countries. Opec suggested reducing supply as demand fallen because of covid 19. It asked russia to do the same russia refused, so saudi arabia refused too this creating a glut of crude oil. The Financial Times calls this a price war. Whatever we call it, this is what happened. The price of a barrel of oil fell by 20 in a matter of minutes. Let us hear from let us hearfrom one let us hear from one analyst who looks at this market. This is hands out an oil price war. The gauntlet has been thrown, the gloves are off and this is going to be the start of something major. We are starting to see that already. It is a difficult time, and the opec deal that unravelled last week was the first step in this aftermath that you see today. The russians have been long resistant to cut supply because they think that high cost producers should be adjusting supply, not opec and russia. Saudi arabia said that they would be willing to extend cuts, even through the end of the year. And the russians refused to allow and the saudis wont cut alone, so lo and behold, you had the opec deal unravelling last week and then you have the saudi aramco april barrel being priced over the weekend with significant cuts to their exports. Lets explain how these huge changes in the oil and stock markets impact on peoples lives. Heres our economics correspondent, andrew walker. Many people do safe directly or indirectly in the stock market. People do by stakes and Investment Funds and also there is their pensions. If you have an occupational pension run by your employer, it almost certainly will invest at least some of the money in the stock market for some not exquisitely, some of it will investing company get but Company Shares are a very important part of it. And if you were to have a sustained period of poor performance, than the pension fund might have a problem which it might need to deal with either by reducing the pension benefits that the members get or by asking for more contributions from the members who are still in work or from their employers. There may be some people watching thinking that it has been a dramatic tapered markets go down and they go up, when would we know if this is actually a slightly fundamental reset . That is the kind of thing you can only reallyjudge with the benefit of five its a probably several years of hindsight. I think what would drive it more than anything else is how quickly the world gets on top of this outbreak and how effective governments and businesses are at containing its economic consequences. If there are questions about how the Market Connects to individual wives, the other big question today is how these falls on the Market Connect to the performance of National Economies and the Global Economy. It works both weight rounds in this instance. What is happening in the markets, they tell you something about how national ankle economies are preforming and also how they think they will perform in the coming months and years. But they also feedback and the other direction, they can have an impact on how the economy is performing. Through a couple of channels, one is there something cut that economists call the wealth effect basically meaning that if people feel less wealthy perhaps it is because their house they has gone down or the value of any shares they own goes down. They are perhaps more reluctant to spend on big ticket items, cars, domestic appliances and so forth, and there is also the fact that a lower stock market means that it is less lucrative for businesses to use the stock market to raise money to invest. So it might mean that they and up creating fewer newjobs. Invest. So it might mean that they and up creating fewer new jobs. When people like you are trying to judge the performance of the Global Economy you might look at the stock market but what other parameters you suggest the rest of us keep a close eye on as this virus and this crisis brings pressure to bear . The stock market is an important barometer of Economic Performance but there are so many of the things that go into moving, so i would not put too much weight on it in terms of looking at an indicator of the way an economy is performing. Look at the every three month growth figures, look at unemployment figures, and it is also to get implication of what might be coming up, one of the things i look at quite a walk is business surveys. In the business they are called pmi surveys and they give you some indication of what businesses are experiencing in terms of how the orders they got for products in the future, how much they are exciting to export, how many people they are employing. That kind of thing tends to be an erratic indicator sometimes but a useful indicator of what we should be expecting to see by way of Economic Performance in the near future. Here in the uk to more people have died of the coronavirus bring the total to five. We know one patient died in wolverhampton, another south of london, both were in their 70s and both had Underlying Health conditions. The total number of cases in the uk is now 31a, up a6 since yesterday. The Prime Ministers spoke earlier. Our action plan as you know sets up four faces of our approach attacking the virus, contain, delay, research, and mitigate. We remain in the contained phase of the outbreak. But watching what is happening around the world, our scientists think containment is extremely likely to work on its own. And that is why we are making extensive preparations for a move to the delay phase. While Boris Johnson talked about containment, it is the first phase of the corunna response plan, if you want to read the plan it is available right now online on the uk government website. Here is anglin poss or chief medical officer explained what all this means in practice. The key at the stage remains to find early cases, to isolate them, and where appropriate to follow their contacts. As you heard, it will not be long until the uk fully implements the next phase, delay. That would include social distancing measures, things like a ban on large gatherings like Sports Events and encouraging people to work from home. The advice about when you should self isolate is also about to change. We are now very close to the time probably within the next 10 1a days when the modelling would imply we should move toa modelling would imply we should move to a situation where we say everybody who has even minor respiratory Tract Infections or a fever should be self isolating for seven days afterwards. As you can say from this graphic, there are confirmed cases in every region of the uk. London has the most number of cases and the speed of which the virus is spreading in the uk has increased in the last few days. Here we are coming to the end ofjanuary through february towards the end of february and you can see what has happened at the beginning of march. This in the fact that the government set a week ago that it is highly likely that there will be widespread transmission within the uk is leading many people to ask why the government is not taking more aggressive measures right now.
