A 14 hour curfew to combat coronavirus. And in other news the violence in guinea as anger grows over a controversial referendum critics say the president is using to extend his term. More coronavirus cases are being reported around the world indonesia thailand both reporting new infections with thailand seeing its biggest jump yet but europe still appears to be the epicenter of the pandemic perhaps the most shocking numbers so far came in on saturday when italy reported nearly 800 deaths in one day in the past few minutes spain has just raised his death toll by and nearly 400 ok lets look at the global picture the Johns Hopkins university in the. Us tracking the number of infections deaths and recoveries from the corona virus that you can see on your screen is to just their breaking just 3073411304 extension 9 recovered 92383 roy challenge joins us live from Central London with the latest news out of europe and indeed the u. K. As well so another grim day but this time were talking primarily about spain in the last hour or so. Yeah as you went through there that the latest figures out of spain showing that although italy is still worst hit of all the countries in the world at the moment spain isnt that far behind with the next for nearly 400. 00 deaths being reported in the last 24 hours or so. Its a leader oh just set the county the Prime Minister is saying that this is the worst crisis that the country has faced since the 2nd world war. Everyone in italy is being told to stay inside unless they have a very very good reason for being outside shopping for food and supplies or or or helping in the effort to combat coronavirus the police are out on the streets checking to make sure that peoples justifications for being out there are valid but this does not seem to be enough of it for the Italian Government at the moment so the new measures that it is putting into place is to shut down all nonessential business in the country to look at least april the 3rd russia has also said that it will be sending military medical supplies to its leads to try to help the country cope with the Virus Outbreak. Every day now italy seems to be breaking new records with its debts old as i can explain now in my report. This military convoy in northern italy is carrying a grim cargo 30 coffins with the bodies of 30 coronavirus victims headed to a small village for christian because there are too many covert 19 dead in the nearby city of bergen and with italy recording its deadliest day of the outbreak yet with another nearly 800. 00 deaths that could be more convoys like this needed the looking. I believe that the maximum measures that could be taken have been taken otherwise there would be a total closure of the country but i wonder how we would live and how we could sustain ourselves if we did not go out shopping and if the food and other things did not arrive in the supermarkets so you know spain now has the 3rd highest number of infections worldwide with around 25000 the death toll has passed 1300 now to help madrid and barcelona are converting Exhibition Centers into field hospitals for the sick germany has had a spike in confirmed cases up to more than 16 and a half 1000 and there are now temporary fences on its border with switzerland the German Government is considering whether to bring in a full nationwide ban on going outside where much of europe has already gone with its lock down and social distancing measures the u. K. Is following economically culturally and socially this is a country that has been transformed in just a few days. By order of the governments the u. K. Is now pretty much closed pubs cafes restaurants gyms museums Nursery Schools and universities all shut for the foreseeable future the capitals buses and metro system are empty dont use them unless your job is critical people in london are being told this usually teaming metropolis is quiet. I think its good news that is good news in terms of that theyre looking after people that losing their wages the fact that theyre stopping hopefully spreading the restaurants i think theyve done the right thing the government is trying to stop a wave of panic buying that has stripped supermarket shelves bare this week. Be responsible when you shop and think of others buying more than you need means that others may be left without and it is making life more difficult for those frontline workers such as our doctors and nurses and n. H. S. Support staff who are working so hard in such difficult circumstances. To prevent total collapse the government will prop up businesses and guarantee 80 percent of all wages its an unprecedented temporary nationalization of the u. K. s economy. So. Its not a completely enforced lock its more of an involuntary shutdown i guess thats a nuance point thats probably lost on a lot of people around the world but is there a sense that sooner or later its got to become a lockdown a proper locked up. I think that depends on how closely the State Governments know fights to to sell to buy slaves an intercity disputes the governments hes saying the Prime Minister is saying look at whats happening in italy the u. K. Is perhaps 2 to 3 weeks behind its early and unless you take these measures on board and you do absolutely everything that we are asking you to do then we will be like its a leak into 3 weeks time so for the moment this is an advisory yes they have shut down many businesses restaurants cafes gyms except for schools but there is no blanket water to stay in size there is nothing like were seeing in italy or france where this is i mean forced to at the moment its advisory but the government is suggesting that here the public is not taking that advice and or even a virus free on board then there may be more stringent medicine methods that are that are going to come. Bring down the line were not there yet. This is mothers day here in the United Kingdom but another thing that the government has said the Prime Minister has said unusually for a mothers day is do not go and see your mother if youre going to send her messages if youre going to. Call her up then do it like that but dont run the risk of transmitting this deadly potentially deadly virus to what could be an old and frail older lady say send your messages by phone or video call some other way sound advice laurie many thanks. Well as weve been hearing in this past few Minutes Russia says it will send military medical assistance to italy to help fight the outbreak there was a phone call between blimy putin and the italian Prime Minister to serve a contact the death toll in italy has now reached nearly 5000 russia itself has reported 306 cases most of them in moscow including one death. The Australian Government has ordered the closure of venues including gyms pubs and restaurants as it steps up its response to the pandemic the Prime Minister Scott Morrison says casinos nightclubs and places of worship will also have to shut their doors from monday there has been growing concern over the number of people ignoring social distancing guidelines australian states meanwhile have begun shutting their borders as governments urged people to avoid non essential Domestic Travel live now to the australian Capital Canberra and our correspondent nicola gage whos there for us so nicol is this now the country getting finally on to the same page state to state to state. Brought and catching up to other parts of the world really where governments have been trying to reduce the spread of coronavirus but as definitely be a vastly different place pull the disabled future up to the right of announcements that the State Government premiers and Prime Minister of australia made today Scott Morrison did address the nation twice today he announced a multibillion dollar economic stimulus package to try and stop a strain from heading into recession and ill run e 3 a few of the things that will be changing you did touch on a few of them pubs will be close not clubs senos restaurants and cafes now they will still be able to sort of take away but no one will be able to go inside this has caused a bit of confusion because people are asking what is an essential so this and because some of the state premies came out before scott morris and made this announcement people with thinking well is everyone on the same page in a stroller and how can we tackle this together another announcement that was made today was that many states are now closing their borders in the Northern Territory Western Australia and South Australia each you are to travel to those states then you will have corner Team Football taking days that means that many of our National Sporting competitions that are being played without crowds they wont be going to hit because those people cant get on planes and the Prime Minister has also just advised against any Domestic Travel as well as international so i mean if its not something that you need to do if its not work if its not going to the shops the Prime Minister is saying people really should stay at home and heed the warnings this isnt a total lockdown you. Can still go out but you need to practice the social distancing that we have saying that needs to happen in many other parts of the world as well so it is changing by the hour here in this trailer and it will be interesting to see if the general public does listen to the government and practice social isolation otherwise there could be even more restrictions to come nicholas thanks very much well thats the picture from australia turning our attention to india where a 1000000000 people today halfway through a 14 hour nationwide curfew to stop the spread of the virus the governments also banned all International Flights and impose self isolation for those returning from overseas elizabeth iran has more from the capital new delhi.

Let me start with thailand 30 percent rice in a single day now thats according to the Health Ministry attributed to a boxing match earlier this month where thousands of people had attended people had been infected at the infected people had attended that mass that says spread across the nation but the thai Health Ministry says most of the infections we are seeing a recent infections are in bangkok and are mostly young people who have not heeded the calls for social distancing and carry on carrying on with their social activities despite the fact that the Thai Government has put down a partial lockdown on the country the thing is thailand had from very early on been aware of the possibility of imported cases and so had very heavy border restrictions but they hadnt put the lock downs that have you seen in other countries and that seems to have somewhat backfired meanwhile singapore is one to get battling with their calling imported cases saying that 80 percent of the new cases that they have seen in the past 3 days are from overseas singh singapore is a transport hub a very popular Tourist Destination to singapore is now restricting any passenger or any International Arrival that is not a resident or citizen or permit work permit holder so if transit whether transiting or just traveling for a short stay in singapore you will not be allowed to come into the country meanwhile in china once again same issue imported cases they had a lengthy battle with the outbreak from which i surface there at the end of last year 81000 cases to date the managed to bring them on the rise to the fortys over the past few days of the pots 3 consecutive consecutive days all the cases were from overseas but for the 1st time today there is a domestically transmitted case apparently connected to an imported case and so china is also stepping up the defenses along its borders.
