In the care home some of them dead in their beds. Hello im terry Martin Thanks for joining us britains Prime Minister has announced a nationwide lockdown to fight the coronavirus Boris Johnson told the british people that the government was shutting nonessential shops and services and banning gatherings of more than 2 people johnstons government has faced criticism for its perceived failure to act quickly to halt the spread of the virus. Its images like these which make it clear how quickly action is needed in the u. K. Mobile phone footage of people crammed into the london on the ground the monday after Train Services were cut to deter people from using them and experts warned policy must change. And we cant control how. Viruses we can control the rate in the population and thats what we should be doing whether thats by legislation or enforcement or otherwise because at the moment its not working. When its a speaker to british Prime Minister has faced criticism that is wait and see policies were dangerous. Now hes decided to follow the lead set by European Countries and order a lockdown. We will immediately close all shops selling nonessential goods including Clothing Electronics stores and other premises including libraries playgrounds and outdoor gyms and places of worship will stop all gatherings of more than 2 people in public a major focus of the response to the outbreak britains overstretched National Health service the n. H. S. Here volunteers bring free food for nurses at the frontline of the pandemic johnson says the whole country should act in solidarity with the medical professionals. Each and every one of us is now obliged to join together to hope the spread of this disease to protect our n. H. S. And to save many many thousands of lives the government is also moving to get supplies of protective gear to staff treating coronavirus patients the army will be brought in to take gloves masks and overalls to where theyre needed. Its happening later in britain and elsewhere but the threat of the virus is emptying streets in the capital london the u. K. Like its neighbors is digging in for the fight or for more on the measures being taken in the u. K. Lets bring in get mers shes standing by for us in london its day one of the u. K. Lockdown what does that look like in london. Well here i am in Central London normally at this time of day terry there would be a lot of commute is really the streets would be filled with people that are going to walk however theres hardly anyone there is still construction work so i do hear a lot of noise from around me and also from what weve seen again this morning is that people have filled in the underground say services for the underground and the trains as much reduced transport for london whos running its all saying that a lot of their staff are in south isolation so they cannot provide for more trains however those people that do come in still today the day one off the lot down are really close together weve seen that on social media a lot of people and they just off who have to go into work into Central London they have no other choice than taking public transport and they treated pictures of of really people being very crammed so no chance for them to go to the social distancing measures of keeping 2 meters away from each other so it sounds like some work still needs to be done there the u. K. Was deliberately slow in implementing any restrictions to public life what prompted the government to act now. Well yes there was a lot of criticism the u. K. Is behind probably around 2 weeks behind its silly and the festival the thinking was in the u. K. That there was some sort of had immunity was. That people would catch the virus it was about spreading out the measures but then the government has changed tack since about a week ago and since then weve seen a lot of much more stringent measures and the reason is that they thought that the fast thinking wasnt really wasnt really plausible that if they continued on the trajectory that the house system would soon be really overwhelmed couldnt be coping not enough intensive cabots not enough ventilators in the u. K. Not enough stuff so they had to change tack and now theyre really trying everything they can to reduce the spread of the virus because thank you very much that was very good must in london. In spain the Defense Ministry says soldiers helping to fight the pandemic have found elderly patients in Retirement Homes abandoned and in some cases dead in their beds prosecutors have launched an investigation well have more about that in a moment but 1st our correspondent Philip Schultz has been listening to help spanish people have been coping with more than a week in lockdown. Otherwise empty city center. The capital of. The fight against the spread of the coronavirus the Spanish Government just relying on spaniards common sense as well as widespread policing of public spaces the National Director of police says there will be 0 tolerance even of mind breaches of the curfew as this Police Video Shows even drones are being used to enforce the knock down this level of policing used to be unimaginable in europe on the square behind me hundreds of people would meet at this time of the day to have together life on the streets is an essential part of the spanish way off life that makes the discipline that the spaniards have been showing for more than a week now all the more remarkable the same is true for reaction after the government announced its plan to extend the lockdown for at least 3 more weeks spending our homes with several family members for financial reasons few places in europe have so little living space person they are now countless articles with advice for people. Ranging from Spring Cleaning to getting to know your neighbors its a distance of course. Usually i go. There is always something to do it home going shopping taking out the trash thats my routine. I just follow the news and watch t. V. Thats. Why i think we should just obey the rules from the central and local governments. In my family i just hope that the people around me dont get sick if we stick to the roots. Im but police and age organizations have warned that Domestic Violence cases could drastically increase due to conduct on measures could be tightened even further in the weeks ahead which could mean for the restrictions for business and for manufacturing noncritical goods. And john Philip Schultz who filed that report joins us now from seville young fellow at the state of emergency in spain is continuing is there any sign that the drastic measures being taken there to fight the virus are having an impact of course its too early to say anything for certain and of course we also dont know how the situation would be with those measures also the Prime Ministers son says as werent the citizens that things would get worse before they can get any better however. In the House Ministry and she has become a very popular person in every spending. By now he said yesterday at the press briefing that he has some hope that the peak i think sections might be reached this week but i think every experience agrees that its too early to really say anything but a key attribute the pictures have been circulating from madrid showing patients there lying on hospital floors. How well is the Spanish Health system coping with the pandemic. Parts from inside hospitals in the hot spots and the situation is really quite worrisome doctors are working at their limits and probably even beyond limits one doctor said its the war of a lifetime but what worries a lot of people even more than the situation in the hospitals is the situation in. Nursing homes those conditions really make the defense minister said some of his soldiers have been disinfecting Nursing Homes and they have been witnessing traumatizing scenes there people abandoned bets people suffocating crying people in debt in their own beds and no medical personnel and family members wronged. And forcing. Our people now becoming. Yes yes they are the discipline. People are showing at the moment really. You really dont see any. More. Of the report yesterday and literally no one on the streets. 3 people market banks. And we have to keep in mind. That the. Strict countries like for example in germany are now in the u. K. Not. Anymore except for work and buying things at the going to the doctor no jogging anymore no business even going for a walk with your partner. Reporting from space. Well the 1st clear signs are emerging of the Coronavirus Impact on europes companys euro zone Business Activity has suffered an unprecedented collapse a report out today shows the purchasing Managers Index which surveys 5000. 00 eurozone companies has an early indicator for the economy as a whole the experts behind the data say the slowdown is being driven by the worst ever contraction in the service sector. And our markets reporter chelsea de laney is covering the story joins us now from frankfurt chelsea this may be the lowest point ever seen in the purchasing Managers Index but its not entirely surprising how are markets reacting. We havent seen a huge reaction to this report the docs are still up about 5 percent as of about 6 percent later so a bit of a pullback but as you said it wasnt totally unexpected that we were going to see a pretty sharp decline and these surveys one surprise is that the decline is really coming from the Services Sector so you know weve seen a huge shutdowns across europe so businesses are shot at Restaurants Hotels transportation all are really coming to a complete standstill but the Manufacturing Sector is across germany italy and the broader euro zone are actually holding up a little bit better than people had expected thats in part because a lot of the more strict shutdown measures thought Led Companies like walks wagon and an air bus to completely you stop production they really only got put in place in the past couple of days or over the past week or so best years and economists are expecting much steeper decline in april but even though with this level even with these reports not fully and counting for the destructions to production and daily life this still does suggest a steep recession for the euro zone ok just looking at today we have seen more goods in europe and asia before the perking up a bit can we expect this momentum to carry through the wall street today. Looking at the futures market the u. S. Stock futures are up quite a bit so both. For the dow and s. And p. Are pointing up about 4 or 4 to 5 percent so the minton does seem to be carrying through this is in part because the these really enormous expansion measures that the Federal Reserve announced yesterday theyre going to spend basically an unlimited amount of money to ensure that businesses have access to lending to get them through this crisis but i think that the stimulus bill from the u. S. From the senate is really going to be a key driver of markets going forward. Thank you very much for now those. In frankfurt.
