In bavaria aiming to keep residents off the streets. And this is only gets a handle on the crisis china has a need and the funds to call for a world putting millions of people on lockdown. To serious. Leaders. Plus concerts in confinements musicians around the world perform online for their fans stuck at home. Im calling aspen thanks for joining us we start in italy which is now recorded a staggering rise in the number of deaths from the corona virus 627 people dying there on friday thats the biggest single day increase anywhere since the pandemic began and italy is now the worst affected country overall with more than 4000. 00 lives lost to the virus so far. Doctors stretched to the limit. Patients gasping for air keep arriving but there arent enough beds. Most of the really sick here and better gamo are elderly but medics warn young people they too are vulnerable. People interests and of our patients in the i. C. U. Which are the more severe beijing if the percent of our patients are already since the 5 years old but their names the idea of you present is younger than 6. And were measuring right here there are real. If you. Basically is racing to get temporary hospitals up and running this one has been opened by a u. S. Charity in the Northern City of cremona. We came here because our fellow brothers and sisters our italian brothers and sisters are hurting. The horrifying situation in the north is now being replicated in the south here in naples the streets are empty but the hospitals are starting to fill up that awful mother figure is basically reflected that of lombardy 2 weeks ago she running for. President scrub all surfaces they think might be susceptible to contamination. But no matter how much they clean nothing can remove the fear of infection. Well here in germany 2 states have imposed restrictions on movement in the face of mounting infections those measures begin today the states of bavaria in the southeast saarland thats in germany south west they have both announced an almost complete shutdown of public life for these 2 weeks people are only allowed to leave their homes to work to buy food or to help relatives more than 20000 infections have been confirmed in germany so far and almost 70 people have now died. Or lets get more now on those measures we bring in d. W. Political correspondent nina we are seeing actually very different responses depending on the state here in germany why is that. Yeah that might look confusing for people who dont live in germany but its just the basis of our federal system here that its up to the 16 states to protect its citizens in cases like a disaster or a crisis and in this Current Crisis the very of the state of bavaria has been at the forefront of trying to fight the spread of the corona virus by being the 1st to really strict measures others have since followed suit probably more will follow but the very you have to remember was the state where the virus entered germany so doctors and labs but also politicians that have had to deal with the virus from day one also but there is extremely close to italy which is of course the worlds most affected country in the world and so these measures can be explained because of the sense of urgency in bavaria but then you have to add that once these measures start being implemented in one state its likely that it will lead to a chain the action well the German Government actually says it will be monitoring peoples behavior today that will be a big factor in determining if we see these sorts of measures nationwide is that a possibility could be various measures extend all across the country. Well many people said on wednesday nights when i gave her a rare t. V. Address on wednesday evening on public t. V. That that was seen as Something Like the last warning shot. Tried to. Stay at home as much as possible to practice social distancing and to basically act responsibly and these feelings that it was the last warning shot well then reinforced on friday when her chief of staff. Actually came out to the media and said we will have to look at how people behave on saturday and then see whether more stringent measures are needed and i will talk to the other to the state premiers of the land of the states on sunday midday and well know more then as we mentioned daily life in germany really does depend on where you live what is daily life like here in berlin well the end does feel very empty now no tourists it does feel a bit like. Sunday in germany feels like with all the shops closed minus the tourists minus the cafes so we are used to seeing empty capitals even once a week because of a sunday closing rolls but it does feel very different it is also an extremely cold day today so not very many people out in the streets at all what is confusing i must say as a mother of 2 for example i can go to set in playgrounds but i cant go to others simply because of our federal system because that gives also local authorities the competency to decide whether to keep parks open or playgrounds open so you have to be really up to date with everything thats happening and thats sometimes yes easy even differing measures here within the city of berlin. Political correspondent thank you so much for your reporting. Well among the closures of public spaces around the world is sydneys famous bondi beach thousands of people had gathered there in recent days they were ignoring coronavirus warts. Were its one of the worlds most famous beaches but bond eye has turned into a battleground between revelers wanting to enjoy the sunshine and officials trying to prevent the spread of the coronavirus crowds on saturday morning exceeded the numbers allowed people also fail to observe the social distancing guideline of keeping 2 metres apart. What we saw this morning here in palm beach was the most irresponsible behind all the individuals that weve seen so far. These were the scenes as thousands headed to the beach on friday even some of those out enjoying the sunshine im easy about the numbers. Definitely not ideal. It is a worry did so many people together and i do think the whole world is probably looking at us right now thinking what a massive mistake that were making think people are taking advantage of the whole way why they can. A lot of people being stuck indoors so they probably think you know i will take my chances and i 1st mean you know its most people here you know to be really close proximity and we just need to be more conscious and aware of what were doing. Like other countries australia is seeing rising numbers of coronavirus deaths officials are warning that unless people pay the rules more beaches will be closed. Well china has reported no locally transmitted coronavirus cases for the 3rd consecutive day. Says the city of a honda or the outbreak began now provides hope for the rest of the world china did report 41 new cases of the virus those though were imported from overseas the new infections came mainly through students and expats who returned in recent days from the United States europe the new cases of sparked fears of a 2nd wave of the virus just as the country has started to recover from the initial out for. Lets go to china now correspondent fog and crush my is standing by for us he is in beijing fabiana it sounds like a little by little beijing and maybe the entire country starting super turned to normal is that fair to say. You know its fair to say i would call it not normal but maybe the new normal i mean the streets are filled by people now i mean its not as crowded as it used to be both lets say 67 percent at least people are also breaking up to take the subway they go to restaurants the shops are closing really you can see the capital here waking up every day a little bit more but of course you have strict rules and restaurants for example they are only allowed to take. Customers to cetera and most people are still wearing face masks so they are cautious but yes they are really feeling more safe no you havent seen those pictures i mean pretty much everyone still wearing a face mask because theoretically there are still risks here right i mean weve heard there are still cases coming in from outside could all this increase movement lead to another outbreak. I mean thats a dire lemma right now china is becoming or turning into a virus free zone long s. They are keeping the restrictions tight and the restrictions are mostly for people coming from outside they have to go into centralized carrington stations thats really serious but as long as they keep this rule intact yes china could become basically fibrous free but as long as they relax or loosen up loosen up this regulations of course the virus would spread immediately 5 incredible reporting in beijing where people beginning to come out of hibernation there thank you very much. Of course concerts around the world have been scrapped for months to con many artists that were taking to the internet to host free performances for their fans a special series has been initiated by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization to raise awareness about the spread of coronavirus. Casual and much more intimate than a concert hold around the world artists are looking to connect with their fans although their performances broadcast from the living rooms of vs social media. Never in place of songs. And ill play a couple of the new guys requests some and play the game see if truly can play that card thing is such as charlie post and john legend are among the i list musicians who have hosted gigs themed together at home. Good more. For. The serious guy. Oh yeah this kind. Of. Coldplay front man chris martin was the 1st to give a hash tag to get the right home concert saying he wanted to keep making music even as his band mates were left stranded by travel restrictions in various locations around the world. We cant play together so i thought what would be nice would be to check in with some of you out there and see how youre doing and where you were and what i could do for you. The concerts and not just for entertainment autists are hoping that performances can help raise awareness about measures to curb the spread of coronavirus. Keep yourself your circle and. And the more selfless let me do the quicker we can get real and it will be some. Friends the concerts are a welcome distraction at a time when home confinement is becoming the new normal. You. Know.
