Hello everyone another surge in the number of people who died from corona virus in europe this saturday is the continent struggles to contain the outbreak spain is the headline number at the moment 832 people have died in just 24 hours brings the total number of dead there up to nearly 5700 since the outbreak began italy is also struggling to control the pandemic there you may remember friday it recorded the highest death toll of any single day anywhere in the world that was 919. 00 people dead in 24 hours and also a 21. 00 day government lockdown in india. This is affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of Migrant Workers Public Transport Services are suspended millions of them are stranded so they are now on foot on hundreds of kilometers just to get home a quick reminder of the global picture through the Johns Hopkins university virus tracker which we use coming up 2615000 confirmed cases with over 28000 deaths and 135000 recoveries we should point out as well when you look at the world map you can see the obvious hotspots though the size of things in asia has definitely gone down compared to what weve been talking about europe and the United States which dont forget it has the highest number of infections anywhere in the world right so this hour were going to talk to john hall in London Development in the u. K. And europe they want to start there with matter hereto in madrid these numbers it must have the most terrible impact on people in spain not just the the workers who are trying to buy Health Workers who are trying to save people but the national psyche. Yes well carol carol numbers for today more than 800 people have died of coroner virus. As 24 hours bringing the death toll after nearly 5700. 00 but not only death toll but also people infected in spain have reached a. Number of 72000. 00 cases considering the 15 percent are under 15 percent of these people infected are Health Care Workers and what about the situation in madrid itself it seems to be particularly bad there is just that just the numbers thing the largest a large city or is there a particularly bad situation there. Yes my dissertation is really bad that madrid has become ground 0 of coronavirus and spain is the candidate that and at the center of the pandemic and 50 percent of the dead toll is from madrid weve seen how all speed of hospitals are overwhelmed we see how the municipal funeral home was all 12 and they had to convert these i was framed into a mortgage and yesterday they reported to us that the market was not enough so they had to to put all the costs in these court in madrid. Have her sorry. Health minister sources have a green lighted the army to to move corpses from one place to the other we have to remember that the spanish army has been taking different tasks about tasks like like to take to disinfect 18 airports train stations care homes and now they have been green lighted by the Health Ministry to to transport all these crops from one place to the other so this is the actual situation right now in madrid thank you for the update not a 100 in madrid spain. Were going to look at london in a moment with joan hall but i was just having a quick look at the map here just to see the latest numbers out of the u. K. 14500 confirmed cases in the death toll is up just over 750 in the u. K. Now jonah hull for us here is up on i think its Primrose Hill you are today jonah now obviously youve got a live t. V. Camera on people there i dont know how they behave or if they behave differently but what sort of numbers of people and social distancing if youve been seeing out on a saturday. Or 5 days now into the latest set of restrictive measures announced by the government on monday night people are required to stay at home theyre only to go to work if they absolutely have no choice sensual journeys only out of the home to this. Market to the pharmacy to exercise once a day to walk the dog or whatever and only for as short a time as possible theres been lots of reports of people at hearing quite strictly to those rules and properly so but also lots of reports of people not doing that the parks and green spaces and beaches and recreational areas across britain in the spring sunshine have been very busy on that Primrose Hill as you say on top of Primrose Hill a magnificent view of the london skyline over there and you can see lots and lots of people enjoying that view sitting on benches walking hand in hand among the cyclists the joggers the exercises the people walking their dogs the people out with their kids kicking a ball this is not i think what lockdown is supposed to look like theres a Farmers Market at one end of the park and down this lane here the other into the park theres a very pretty high street where the butcher is open and the wine shop is open in the bookshop and the delis and coffee shops albeit operating a very limited service there is a lot of evidence of social distancing going on here but as i say this is not what lockdown should look like the police have been out and about they have new powers to enforce the lockdown for whatever reason for the time being theyre choosing to exercise those powers quite gently just trying to urge people to move away and one constable we spoke to said he was particularly frustrated he said almost none of these people should be here under these circumstances and all of that will be of concern to the authorities as the epidemiologists tell us that britains peak is perhaps 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks away the infection rate multiplying doubling every 3. 00 to 4. 00 days what the government may choose to do next to try and reinforce these measures i dont know but as i say i think these scenes particular as the spring weather. Comes upon us will be of concern and just on that government is everything still running as it well as well as it can i guess when the Prime Minister and the Health Minister of tested positive the government still trying to say business as usual. Yes new normal in every way really here Boris Johnson is in isolation in number 10 downing street the Health Secretary matt hancock is also in isolation they both tested positive in the last 24 hours since then the chief medical officer professor chris witty is also in isolation and he hasnt had a test but hes showing the symptoms these are the 3 people most closely involved in the fight against britains corona virus pandemic as the Health Service desperately tries to scale up its capacity for that peak as i say expected in 2 or 3 weeks time it is worrying that these 3 men are out of sight but they insist that they are still very much in control thank you for the update jonah hill up on Primrose Hill in london this saturday well after more than 2 months of lockdown restrictions are being eased in chinas city this is where the corona Virus Outbreak began people are now allowed to enter the city but its 11000000. 00 residents are banned from leaving until the end of april sarah has that story and more from around asia.

As per annum is in new delhi for us and so is the mass migration is happening actually right across the country. Thousands leaving delhi kemal and thats just the Capital Region many more are on the move as you say on foot around the country and tire families including the very old and just you know babies sometimes walking or being carried hundreds of kilometers says to return to where theyre from india has something kemal like 120000000 Migrant Workers and when the government announced around a week ago that it was going to order all bus and Train Services to stop we saw this great desperate rush at buses and bus and train stations with Migrant Workers you know just trying to get home and a lot of these people because their daily wage earners they have to work every day to survive theyve lost their jobs they can no longer afford to pay rent where theyre staying their Company Accommodation has been shot so that has been the situation for them over the past week and you know weve seen people walking along highways on train tracks obviously with everything shut theres no restaurants open and they have very little money they have no access to sanitation yesterday we saw. Something like 300 people crammed into the back to contain the trucks trying to cross the borders the border between the states of telangana and maharashtra and temperatures of nearly 40 degrees so an absolutely desperate situation in the country for millions of people i spoke to Amnesty International earlier and they were telling me that this lockdown has unleashed a humanitarian disaster for millions in india.

Weve always had challenges with inequality in our Education System and this new shift has really exacerbated that its the poor students who suffer the most as u. S. Schools nationwide switched to virtual classes during the pandemic. And latin america feels the effects too but why some countries not following the trend to go into lockdown. High pressure dominates the weather across northern parts of china so where it does stay dry and 5 were still seeing bands of cloud getting squeezed out of the southern half of the country or rowing out into the open waters feeding some very heavy rain to wards to pan so thats the pictures we go on through sunday february weather pulling away from sensuous southern parts of conscientious guys come back in behind temperatures to struggle to get to maybe 6 is the sevens there for tokyo theres that wet weather across southern parts of china still has to go on through monday pushing out further east was q shoop so when there is q she will see some wet weather warmer in tokyo and around 30 degrees celsius with the southerly wind and largely clear skies warm enough to across a soul and beijing so well see temperatures here getting up to 70 or 80 degrees lots of sunshine lots of sunshine to across parts of india.
