pressure grows on the international olympic committee to postpone the tokyo 2020 games. canada becomes the first major country to officialy withdraw. hong kong tightens its borders, as authorities there suggest they're on the brink of another coronavirus outbreak. good morning. you're watching the bbc news channel with me, geeta guru—murthy, and welcome to our audiences around the world. our top story this morning, the uk's health secretary matt hancock has described people ignoring government advice on social distancing as "very selfish". mr hancock said the government was willing to take ‘more action‘ if needed to spread the virus from spreading. this could include advising nonessential retail businesses to close. action‘ if needed to stop the the virus from spreading. this could include advising nonessential retail businesses to close. later today, mps will debate emergency legislation that would grant powers aimed at tackling the spread of the virus. under the proposals, airports could shut and police would be able to force people with symptoms to isolate. parents have been told to keep their children at home unless "absolutely necessary". schools are officially shut to most pupils because of the coronavirus outbreak, but children who are vulnerable or whose parents are "key workers" can still attend. elsewhere, despite strict restrictions being imposed in europe, the death toll in countries like spain continues to rise. a62 people have died there in the last 2a hours. the japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, has told parliament that the tokyo olympic games may have to be postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. it's the first time he's made such an acknowledgement. hong kong will ban non—residents from entering the city for m days from wednesday. worldwide, more than one billion people have been told to stay at home because of the virus. the uk's health secretary matt hancock says he is working day and night to get nhs workers the protective gear they need. we've been sending out equipment all through the last week and over the weekend, making sure that every hospital gets a delivery by the end of the weekend, so that is happening as we speak, but i want to make sure that every single person on the front line gets the equipment that they need. that means both the logistics of getting the protective equipment to them, making sure that's the right equipment and it fits right, and of course buying the extra equipment that is needed to make sure that there is ample supply. as i say, we've been able to buy a million more masks. we've shipped 2.6 million over a 24—hour period, so very significant quantities. but of course it's all about keeping our nhs workers that are on the front line safe. absolutely. we follow the advice that the clinicians give based on the who advice, in particular the top mask, the so—called ffp3 mask, we have had a whole load of those that we are able to get right now out onto the front line. so the challenge of getting the right equipment to keep people safe is incredibly important and we are out there delivering the kit. i take very seriously my responsibility as secretary of state to make sure that everybody working in the nhs, across social care, is safe and for that they need the right equipment and i'm listening very carefully when i hear that there is a problem on the front line and then trying to get in there and fix it. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. first of all, on the question of what could happen here in the uk, in terms of lockdown. is that coming?” think it probably is, it is just a matter of timing now and i suppose there is a question about how swiftly you move to a much more extensive lockdown but if we look at what has happened in the rest of europe, and we by and large have followed what other european countries have done, then i would say to someone certainly going to happen. added to which, it is almost happening by default in the sense that if you look at the number of local authorities already closing playgrounds, parks, organisations like the national trust have already closed some of their gardens. some of our high street stores have shut up of our high street stores have shut up shop. the facts on the ground are changing around the prime minister andi changing around the prime minister and i am reminded ofa head of changing around the prime minister and i am reminded of a head of the school closures we saw a number of schools independently already decided they were going to have to shut so think it is the same sort of trajectory we are likely to see. added to which, there is clearly a pretty active debate in government about whether they should be moving further, faster. it was interesting over the weekend listening to sadiq khan. he obviously was of the view that basically people should stay indoors, come what may. a slightly different position to that of the prime minister, who seemed to be saying it is ok to go out and about, just keep two metres distance. i think when you listen to the health secretary this morning, he seemed to be much more of the sadiq khan side of the equation. if i can put it that way. so i would suspect, and indeed the prime minister did so yesterday, he was going to give active consideration to a more strict approach over the next 2a is. i would suspect today, tomorrow, in the very near future, we will move to much more extensive restrictions on what we can do. and has been criticism that borisjohnson himself is not moving fast enough. criticisms about shortage of health equipment, and mixed messages which are difficult for people to unpick. i think the mixed messaging is a valid criticism, i have to say. it was noticeable yesterday, mrjohnson at one in the same time seem to be saying don't think being out in the fresh aircan saying don't think being out in the fresh air can protect you and then at the same time, saying it is good for your mental and physical health to be out in the fresh air. that really wasn't a very clear, straightforward simple message and there have been a few instances of that, through this crisis, but to be honest, we are dealing with unprecedented, fast—moving situation where he is having to balance huge changes to our lifestyle and the way we go about and relate to each other, with public safety. and there is no set game plan to follow. he is also having to listen to the public health advice from the scientists and the scientists today have questioned a lot of it. for example, on closing down football matches and the like, they have always been of the like, they have always been of the view that there isn't really much point in doing that. in the end, that was done. by and large because football clubs themselves decided to close down. borisjohnson himself instinctively is not an easy authoritarian, let you put it that way. he does not want to be stamping out people's individual liberties. but it seems to me, such as the scale of this crisis, all those reservations are going to be swept to one side and we will be moving pretty quickly, indeed possibly in the next day or two, two more extensive restrictions on what we can do. and the government is putting through emergency legislation, isn't it? right now?m is. interesting, they have exceeded are going to exceed two concerns of critics who have said these are so extensive we need a lock on them. i understand what is going to happen is that they will agree to a review, renewable every six months. because these emergency powers give the authorities are for, for example, to detain people who they suspect a coronavirus but are refusing to self—isolate. they give the authorities the power detain people under the mental health act, given the power to close down meetings, events, premises, huge unprecedented powers. so as a safety check on them, they will agree that every six months, they have to be reviewed and renewed by parliament. norman smith, many thanks indeed, there in westminster. let's turn to spain now, where there has been a big increase in the number of coronavirus deaths. a62 more people died in the last day. that takes the total number of people killed by the virus to more than 2,000. spain has recorded the fourth—largest number of cases and has imposed a nationwide lockdown in response. live now to madrid where we can speak to guy hedgecoe. just jealous justjealous more about these numbers. it is continuing a trend that we have seen over the last few days, whereby the infections continue to increase and accelerate, as have the deaths. you mention that figure of well over a00 more deaths in the last 2a—hour. that was an increase on the weekend figure we saw which was around a00 more deaths from between saturday and sunday. so there is obviously enormous concern about that. the number of deaths that we are seeing in spain which is relatively high compared to other countries can at least partly be attributable to the fact that the coronavirus has in spreading through retirement homes where obviously you have a very vulnerable group in the elderly population there. but it is also very much concentrated in certain areas of the country, particularly here in madrid which has seen well over half of the deaths so far. is a any more breakdown in terms of the age group? is it mostly the elderly who are losing their lives? and also do we know in terms of the timeline, was the lockdown imposed two weeks ago, there is always a gap between how strict the clamping measures are and then what happens to the population asa then what happens to the population as a result? yes, regarding the age groups, those who have been killed by the virus, it is very much the over 60s, certainly, people under the age of 16, there have been some debts. there was a 52—year—old nurse from the basque country last week or died but that is relatively unusual. it is very much older people but also health professionals are being infected at quite a high rate. 0ne in ten of those who are infected are health professionals. the lockdown began just over a week ago, the weekend before last. so it has been in place eight or nine days or so, the government has said that its hopes to start seeing the benefit of that lockdown which means you cannot leave your house at all unless you have a specific reason. in hopes to start seeing those benefits in the coming days. but at the same time, we are likely to see a continued increase in the number of infections and the number of deaths in the coming days as well which is putting a lot of pressure on the health service. many thanks. while the pandemic is far from over, there is some positive news emerging from germany. the number of confirmed cases is over 26,000, with 111 deaths. but the head of germany's public health institute says the number of new cases may be slowing down, the "flattening of the curve", as some people describe it. take a listen. translation: we are seeing signs that the exponential growth curve is flattening off slightly. but i will only be able to confirm this trend definitively on wednesday. but i am optimistic that the measures are already having an effect. which is very early, because they have only been placed for a week. gavin lee is in brussels. just to pick up on those germany figures, in contrast to spain, germany was also credited with doing more testing, i think, quite early on, wasn't it? the capacity of german is quite incredible comparatively to the rest of europe, they are able to test 160,000 people a day and that is one of the reasons. there are suggested to be several by the death toll is so comparatively low. 106 people in germany with more than 26,000 cases compare to italy, 60,000 cases, 5500 people dead of coronavirus. the fact that people have tested so thoroughly, so quickly in germany, we have managed to get the virus testing kits out to a lot of people and also —— they have managed. germany is also famed for its standard of health care and europe. they had other health service in germanyjust said, they had other health service in germany just said, they they had other health service in germanyjust said, they are still not sure, it is a cautious optimism as to whether the curve. to go down because germany i think is the sixth highest level in the world in terms of coronavirus cases. we now know that their chancellor, 6a—year—old angela merkel, is among those now in quarantine, she had a flu jab on friday, the doctor had coronavirus and she is in isolation. let's look at some of the other countries. italy, the cases there, there has in a similar small note of optimism by the government there, saying that whilst the rise of the weekend was terrifying in terms of the deaf, 5500 dead, 1000 at the weekend, the curve, that trajectory of cases per day went down to 9% so they are hoping there that curve slows. giuseppe conte, the prime minister says this is a key week, they have closed down all nonessential businesses. that will have a massive effect on the economy of course until the 3rd of april. i mentioned as well for a country that we haven't mentioned as much, the baltics and estonia. most of those countries, lithuania, latvia, finland, close the borders to nonresidents over the weekend. 0ver the weekend, the finnish said to the estonians, there are 20,000 to commute by ferry each week. they said pick a side. either stay in finland or estonia so 20,000 people have decided, roughly, to stay in estonia and cannot get across to work in finland. the cases there are about 356, where higher than lithuania or latvia. part of the reason, there is an island, the biggest estonian island where a volleyball tea m biggest estonian island where a volleyball team from milan, played there two weeks ago. it is now seen as the hotspot in estonia and the island is incomplete lockdown. as the hotspot in estonia and the island is incomplete lockdownlj don't want you to speculate outside what we know, but for example, the uk is looking at being behind, two weeks find italy. from what you can see across europe, does it look like you put down lockdown measures and you put down lockdown measures and you get the results about two weeks later? we are still waiting to see if that is the case. look at italy and spain. the highest cases, still frightening levels of deaths and still frightening levels of cases rising. we are not seeing anything clear either in france as well. they have probably had a bit less time, talking about 16,000 cases in france now. more than 1000 deaths and reinforcement to give a sense of what might be coming in the uk, ethanol no effect continues in term of the effect of the measures being a week or so behind, there have been more than 100,000 french police and car, helicopter and drone and in belgium, messages to stay and, there have been 90,000 penalty fines of people preaching those orders. people being caught on benches eating food, pastries and one circumstance, drinking beers outside cafe is. this is a real strict enforcement, france being told they cannot leave your area unless you have a document, even for walking a pet, to prove it. thanks very much indeed for that. japan's 0lympic committee president has just said that they have have reached the stage where they will have to consider postponing this year's olympics in toyko. pressure has been mounting to delay the games with canada and australia announcing they won't be sending teams to the games injuly. the president of world athletics sebastian coe has also called for the olympics to be pushed back. sebastian coe has also called lets hear now from bbc sports' katie shanahan. a lot of pressure to get some clarity on the olympics? what we are hearing is overnight, the japanese prime minister, shinzo abe has said for the first time that there is a chance the olympics will be postponed. up until now, he has been determined games should continue. all athletes over the world are starting to say they simply don't wa nt to starting to say they simply don't

69% of japanese people think that 69% of japanese people think that the games should be postponed as well by a year. but of course, there is huge resistance to cancelling the games altogether. the olympics should be a time of celebration but at the moment, the future remains uncertain. many thanks. schools across the uk are closed to the vast majority of pupils this morning as part of efforts to stem the spread of coronavirus. only the children of what are termed "keyworkers" are being offered emergency childcare. the royal alexandra and albert school in surrey is one of those schools remaining open for the children of key workers. and it will remain open during the easter holidays to offer a two—week holiday programme, as well as setting work for children to do at home. the school's headmaster, mark dixonjoins me now. explain firmly how you are operating. how children do you have in at the moment? we have 90 children who qualify either as key workers or removable children. today we only have 30 people who are in and we are open from 7:30am to 6pm in the evening. we're used doing extended days anyway. so that is what we are running. we expect to have greater numbers during the week. many of our key workers pa rents week. many of our key workers parents opted to keep celts catchment children and home and only utilise us if we need to. you have a particular set of challenges because you are state, government funded boarding school but you have a mixture of day pupils, boarding pupils and right across the age range. what challenges does that face? today, of our 29 pupils, they go from seven years old to 18 years old. because we straddle that age range. we are used to having all peoples anyway, all of our people through our local have the extended day opportunity here. currently, we don't have any borders with us. we have for 70 borders but at the moment, boarding is shut because we have had symptoms and a number of boarding houses, so all of ours are self isolating but when the easter holiday start, that happens to be at the same time as us going to invite borders back which will be for vulnerable and key workers who have to be borders. while term is still technically running, how are you organising lessons? it is a question many families are now facing. we have completely changed our timetable. we are putting some year groups together so we have got a year seven and year eight combined class today. of 12 people. they are doing the work teacher sent them during the day. we have been setting lessons work to all other peoples. the ones who are in school, they will be doing it in school, but of course we're also making the day, have some practical activities, some pan games, food, technology, cooking, music etc. it is very important we look after the well—being of the peoples in. some of them have families and parents with very, very stressful times. we wa nt to with very, very stressful times. we want to make sure they have a really fun day. for the extended day we have activities on offer for them as well. there will be some children not only here but across the world to don't have access to a computer, or laptop, don't necessarily have wi—fi access. what will be due? or laptop, don't necessarily have wi—fi access. what will be due7m isa wi—fi access. what will be due7m is a real challenge. for our pupils, we have a number of pupils who are disadvantaged. and to attend here because they have charitable places. we are actually working with families to check that they do have the technology for that and in our case, if they don't, our charity has very kindly stepped in to say we will send them chrome books to support and working from home but it will be very difficult for families. i have a father, i have three children who attend the school and we'll all be fighting over the same computer at different times. thankfully, parents are working with us thankfully, parents are working with us and we are having lots of, most of it will be on line. very difficult for all teaching staff because they have also got to balance looking after their own children, potentially over several weeks or months. and of course, people are worried about gcses, a—levels, what it means for your future employment. absolutely. we had a lot of concern from our year 13 children, a—level children and year 11 children. we have heard news from the exam board that sounds promising about how they will go about getting the qualifications, based on school evidence and teacher professional views. i am based on school evidence and teacher professional views. iam really encouraged that they are going to trust schools to be able to give that information. i think that is excellent news. i am in the process of communicating to my gcse and a—level students and their parents to explain this sensible measure coming out so they can still get their qualifications. i think that is good news. i am really pleased with my teachers, they have all offered to work over the easter holidays. we have come up with a rotor so that staff can be off and on to look after their children and also be in so we can stay open. hopefully this is what all schools are doing if they can with we are expected to be open now for vulnerable and key worker children and that includes borders. many thanks indeed and best of luck to you and all the teaching staff who are trying to face these incredibly complicated hurdles ahead of us all. dr tijion esho is a medical aesthetics and reconstructive doctor. esho charity initiative. he got the message asking if he could locum back in nhs hospitals. he is also donating his clinics for use to the nhs and organising a fund to buy a respirator. he is on the line for us. thanks for your time today. what exactly are your time today. what exactly are you going to be doing within the nhs because you are, your speciality is separate to your icy you care, isn't it? , completely. ithink for many on my basis i worked a lot in amd, general practice and so there is different areas where you are deployed but even if it is just on award, there are simple things that anyone in my industry do, providing the alcohol gel, blood and equipping from clinics, allowing our clinics to be used for and by the nhs and also raising funds. a lot of people have done well in this industry, made some money and to be able to be ina made some money and to be able to be in a position to help try and find any of it that is needed, i think there is no choice but to help. to be clear, you are donating your clinics but do they have, they set up clinics but do they have, they set up to help patients in a practical way? errors are specially built so there are diagnostic clinics, these are areas we people can be self quarantined, self isolated, at the same time use with basic treatment because what we forget is even during this time of coronavirus, people come with many different other conditions that still need to be treated by the nhs. in terms of organising a fund to buy a respirator, is it one or many and are you trying to raise funds from within the medical private community or across the public or other businessmen or what? initially from the medical community itself but where it can be found i think it is times like this we need to pull together and do as much as we can for our colleagues on the front line. how much is it to get one ventilator machine? it does vary and we are talking between different suppliers but any anywhere over £50,000 for one. even if you can get one, that makes a lot of difference. in terms of your particular training, people might think it is fantastic you are coming back and all donations is public goodwill is amazing. but also, if i was el and being sent one of these private clinics will i be properly cared for? yes, again as i reiterated, when people return back, retired doctors or private practice, many of these have specialist training. as a doctor, you never do anything outside of your practice but you are specially trained to do a variety of things and your dayjob. specially trained to do a variety of things and your day job. have you gone back to the nhs care yet or are you about two? i am about to. have you about two? i am about to. have you been given any training or advice before going back? not so far. everyone has to go into a process and wait the college was made for several doctors in the private sector or retired doctors to come back and people will be put to where they needed. it is notjust to be on award, even if it is helping out basic tasks, you are helping whatever you can to help these people. and you will be based in london or is a possible doctor such as yourself might have two move geographically? it is possible you may have to move geographically. you go where the demand is essentially. i think most of the agencies will place you locally but this is a problem all over the whole uk, not just locally. are you seeing other collea g u es just locally. are you seeing other colleagues come forward and help the nhs at this time? yes, several and i think many of us have colleagues that work their day and date out are in trouble, stress, upset and worried. and you can'tjust stand by. we are all built the same and all train and take a specific oath, whether we stay in the nhs will go private, once a situation like this arises you have no choice. a very brief one. you are donating your facilities. do you think private hospitals should also be taken over by the nhs for their capacity around the nhs have to buy those words or icus units at a basic course?|j think it is now feeling they should be given. whether that will happen i don't know. from what i have seen so far there are have been provided at a cost so it will be at a cost to the nhs but this is for the whole of humanity. this is not about business, it is about the economy, this is about saving lives. some things need to be put aside. people are very grateful to everyone in the medical profession, and very good to speak to you today, thank you very much indeed. now it's time for a look at the weather with carole kirkwood. hello again. a weather front across the north—west of the uk, that will be with us for a few days. today producing heavy and persistent rain across the north west, that splash of getting across north—western parts of northern ireland. away from the weather front in the north—west of scotland all of us are seeing some sunshine, albeit hazy at times. windy in scotland and northern ireland, breezy in england and wales, the breeze will take the edge off the temperatures which will be at best 1a degrees. this evening and overnight for england and wales the temperature will fall away, cold enough for frost. across scotland and northern ireland cloud and rain will help maintain temperature levels and low cloud coming in at times across devon and cornwall will do the same. for the rest of the week, tuesday and wednesday, this weather front with us in the north—west, producing some rain. weakening as it moves south during the course of wednesday. dry in the south. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the uk government condemns what they call the "selfish" behaviour of people who ignore social—distancing rules — ministers consider closing all nonessential shops. the uk's health secretary promises more protective equipment for nhs staff — the army will help distribute it. mps in the uk will debate emergency legislation that would include giving police the power to force people with virus symptoms to isolate. the death toll in spain increases to more than 2100 — a62 have died in the past 2a hours. pressure grows on the international olympic committee to postpone the tokyo 2020 games — canada becomes the first major country to officialy withdraw. worrying news about the virus from hong kong, where the territory could be on the brink of a second wave of infections. the number of confirmed cases is rising again and the hong kong government has responded by plans to tighten its borders to almost all non residents. visitors from the mainland, macau or taiwan will still be allowed in, as long as they havent been anywhere else in the world in the past 1a days. hong kong's chief executive explained the reason behand the latest measures. we are basing our decisions on science, on facts and figures, on evidence, and also the expert advice of the four professors on the expert advisory panel. the politics of pressure are not something that come into the formula because it would be very risky to base public health decisions just because certain people have demanded for it. our correspondent in shanghai, robin brant, is following developments across asia and he explained why the possibility of a second wave of the pandemic was such a concern. big concern in the chinese mainland, particularly in hong kong, about the threat of a second wave, and that is a particularly acute concern in places which are essentially air transport hubs, singapore and hong kong. hong kong, a major travel hub, a major route into mainland china but also into other countries across asia and it looks like there is the beginnings of some empirical evidence that hong kong may be experiencing the onset of a second wave. the trend now is ticking up in terms of new confirmed cases so what we are seeing is an even further tightening of restrictions on the borders. this is as close as you can get really to cutting hong kong off from the rest of mainland china that remains politically acceptable to the bosses in beijing. so from midnight on wednesday, all non—hong kong residents will not be allowed into the territory and i think of equal significance is the suspension of air transit passengers as well. as i said, hong kong is a significant route in and out to mainland china but also to a host of other asian countries and in the next a8 hours or so you will now no longer be able to transit through hong kong. you can't transit through singapore now either. that is hugely significant and will have a huge impact of course on the amount of air traffic going in or through hong kong. the us has reported the third highest national total of covid—19 infections globally. president trump has announced additional emergency medical help for new york, washington state and california but the us congress has failed so far to agree an economic stimulus package. negotiations are continuing on a deal worth at least a trillion dollars intended to help the american economy through the pandemic. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. "the worst is yet to come". a blunt warning from the mayor of new york city which is now the epicentre of the outbreak in the us with a third of the cases. medical supplies are running out. respirators, masks and protective gowns are all badly needed in hospitals around the country. if the president doesn't act, people will die who could have lived otherwise. senior citizens, folks who are members of families, and we can't get action from the president of the united states. mr trump has responded, declaring a major disaster in new york and washington state, providing money to pay for urgently—needed facilities. field hospitals will be set up and a navy ship is being sent to los angeles to provide additional support. it will have 1000 beds and will become the city's biggest hospital. with equipment in short supply, the white house has hit out at people who are profiteering from the crisis, selling some items with an inflated pricetag. message to the hoarders, if you got any large quantities of material that this country needs right now, get them to market or get them to us, we will pay you a fair price, but if you don't do that, we're going to come for you and make sure that doesn't happen in this country. as americans start another uncertain week, many with nojob go to, the us congress is struggling to agree on a stimulus package to help individuals and businesses affected by the global pandemic. the sticking point between republicans and democrats in the senate appears to be the emphasis given to corporate america over the needs of the country's workers. negotiations are still going on. there is great unhappiness with how they're trying to advance a proposal that would be great for giant corporations and leave everyone else behind. we're not to create a slush fund for donald trump and his family or a slush fund for the treasury department to be able to hand out to their friends, we're here to help workers, we're here to help hospitals. our goal is to get relief to americans as quickly as possible so that families can get by and small businesses can keep workers on the payroll. this will help our economy and you will see our economy skyrocket. mr trump added that he thought that victory, as he put it, would happen much sooner than originally expected. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. so no school here in the uk, as well as other parts of the world, so how can kids stay fit? joe wickes, aka the body coach, has come up with one way of making sure kids get their daily exercise. he's running free virtual pe classes every week day starting from this morning. let's have a look.. pick it up, everyone, you can do it literally, in your pants, if you want. we are going to do a five minute warm up together, then we will go into our exercise. i'll just start my timer. so, here we go. five minutes, nice and simple. the first one is going to be rotations, just left to right, we are going to warm the body up before we go into our exercise. like i said, i have travelled all over the country, i went to scotland, wales, ireland, northern ireland. so i've developed really basic exercises. and joe joins me now. there is a lot of exercise online and on apps and there has been for a while, what is different about what you are starting? ijust had the most credible start to this thing i'm putting on which they live or work out everyday, nine m tel 9:30am and the thing is, i haven't started this now, i've been doing this for four years for stop i don't buy cuts for children, i have done uk tours, i visit thousands of children so i'm developing really basic exercises that you can join a small area such asa that you can join a small area such as a living room or a bedroom. there have been 8600 households that have tuned in to imagine how many children took part. how do you get any cardio exercise in a small space inside? what you saw was the warm up, this is an intense work—out so we are doing things like running on the spot, squats, lunges, we are doing a climb at the rope, we are getting moving and every child that took part will walk away from that work—out feeling energised, lifting the mood and also just feeling positive and optimistic for doctors about mental health and taking care of children and giving parents a breather so they can start their routine and get their children working out and then they can do the other home—schooling stuff. working out and then they can do the other home—schooling stuffm working out and then they can do the other home-schooling stuff. it is recorded? yes, it is live on my youtube channel. you subscribe and then you will be notified but if you can't do it live, it also saves as you can do it at ten m, 11am, any time. this is notjust a uk thing. i have become a global pe teacher because there are teachers that are sent out newsletters to schools in every country you can imagine. australia, new zealand, iran, spain, turkey, it has really gone global so thank you so much to everyone who has shared it and i am so proud that i have engaged and inspired a lot of kids to take part today. obviously, lots of other similar brands and coaches are out there, to be fair. it is obviously incredibly important, do you think it is going to be quite tough to maintain the discipline, to make children do it, to make ourselves do it, children normally love a team sport and the competition? i'm glad you mentioned that. if you're not into my style of training, there are millions of other amazing youtube workouts. if you want to do something like yoga, pilates, check out youtube. this will grow and build as the weeks goes on and i said this morning, this is not just goes on and i said this morning, this is notjust monday to friday this is notjust monday to friday this week for the pie committed to being the nations pe teacher until schools reopen and i will really commit to that. it is one of those things that you don't need any equipment. you can have fun together, do it has parents and kids and toddlers and teenagers and interact and connect through fitness. by the end, your mindset and optimism has completely changed and optimism has completely changed and you are going to feel great and have a lot happier day for it. crucially, a lot of older people in particular will have to isolate potentially very strictly for longer. it is important that they don't become secretary, isn't it?|j was getting a lot of message from people saying their grandparents are in homes, the isolating, can't only exercise and i was kind of thinking, what can i deliver? what can i do? up what can i deliver? what can i do? upi what can i deliver? what can i do? up i put my thinking cap on. i put on two workouts for the senior and elderly. they are on my youtube channel and they had 60,000 views in the past days there are people sending me messages and videos of the 70 old granny marching on the spot, doing arm circles, getting the body moving. i'm trying not to neglect anyone and i will definitely be showing more of them so look out for them. someone once something a bit tougher, how can they do something tougher without using any equipment? i'm telling you, you try one of my workouts. there are 25 minutes, 15 minute once. if you are doing high intensity, don't you need a single piece of equipment put up your body is the equipment, you'll be out of breath, exhausted. i've been doing this for seven years on youtube, it is not like i have suddenly come up with this idea. i believe that the future of sustainable long—term fitness is people training in the living room at home and making it accessible and sustainable. that is really my passion and i will keep doing it, whatever happens. we also know that getting fresh air and daylight is very important, clinically even just to help us sleep and balance our moods. if people have got outside space, a balcony or a bit of garden, they could obviously do these exercises outside, to? 10096. if you can do it on your iphone, your ipad, your smart tv your laptop, but it is in your garden on the wi—fi, i do believe that fresh air... exercising in your living room is one thing but getting out in the sunshine elevates your mood. you never regret a work—out, you always feel better. if you're feeling anxious or stressed or have a low mood, please do something. it could be marching on the spot, star jumps, something. it could be marching on the spot, starjumps, dental squats, just do something to get your mind feeling positive. you're clearly very active, how are you finding the self isolation advice? i'm so used to being outdoors, led by a park, they're actually closed it yesterday. i think it is just about respecting it and obviously people are respecting it and obviously people a re really respecting it and obviously people are really trying to take this on board now that we have to do our bit and stay inside and do as much we can to stop this from spreading. i'm staying positive, iam can to stop this from spreading. i'm staying positive, i am an optimistic quy staying positive, i am an optimistic guy andi staying positive, i am an optimistic guy and i have my little kids in the house and we are trying to do activities, baking, silly things, painting, whatnot. if activities, baking, silly things, painting, what not. if you activities, baking, silly things, painting, whatnot. if you don't wa nt to painting, whatnot. if you don't want to do the live workouts, i've got these things called five live, their five minute workouts and eight minute workouts, just stick that on, get your kids moving and bouncing around and it would channel their energy and hopefully they will be able to sit down and focus more for academic subjects. many thanks for your time. the headlines on bbc news: the uk government condemns what they call the "selfish" behaviour of people who ignore social—distancing rules — ministers consider closing all nonessential shops. the uk health secretary admits there has been challenges but promises more protective equipment for nhs staff, which the army will help distribute. the death toll in spain increases to more than 2100 — a62 have died in the past 2a hours. an update on the market numbers for you, here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. i don't know if london is ending quite yet but we will get more from our business teams no doubt to confirm those numbers. train companies across the uk will operate a reduced service from today. it comes after the government issued guidelines warning against all but essential travel. the department of transport says core services in england will still run, to allow vital goods to be moved around the country. similar measures have been agreed by the authorities in scotland, wales and northern ireland. london underground staff have expressed their anger that trains remained busy this morning, making social distancing impossible. transport for london is urging people to travel only if their journey is absolutely essential. finn brennan is the district organiser covering london underground, tubelines and croydon tramlink for train drivers union aslef. at the trains are still busy at the moment despite the covenant advice? in some areas this morning there was serious overcrowding —— government advice. the problem is there are large numbers of self—employed workers, especially in areas like construction, who feel they have no other choice than to go to work. we end up with this situation where we have packed tube carriages which means that vital workers, who have to use them for supermarket workers to use them for supermarket workers to nhs staff, are actually increasing their risk of catching coronavirus by travelling to work. this is not a situation that can be allowed to continue. we need urgent action now to shut down all nonessential businesses. if we have another day where people are packed into tube carriages, we are simply increasing the spread of the disease and putting people at risk. the government really needs to act now. of course, we do need the publicpublic sector workers to be able to move around, do you think there is enough capacity for people like them to move around safely? there certainly will be. we very much want, and our members very much want, to retain that service for emergency workers. there will be more than enough capacity to do that but not if we make non—essential journeys. we cannot have people packed into trains. how do you know that it is... sorry to interrupt, how do you know that it is the nonessential workers who are travelling? it is quite clear, you can see the regular passengers, we have seen construction workers travelling to work carrying their tools etc. i don't blame all these people, it is not their fault. tools etc. i don't blame all these people, it is not theirfault. many are desperate if they don't go to work, no money will come in. we need action from the government now to shut down nonessential work and make sure people are compensated and have a living. otherwise, we are simply spreading the virus more. the lives of the nhs workers, supermarket workers, other people need that transport. what about those who need to keep these trains running, you confident that will be able to continue for several weeks, months even? people are being very heroic in my view. i've spoken to people who have heavily pregnant partners, vulnerable family members, because they want to come into work and provide that vital service. we know how crucial it is that vital workers can getaround. how crucial it is that vital workers can get around. the key really is to the government, we can keep providing a service if it is restricted to essentialjourneys only. essential has to mean essential. do you think there has to bea essential. do you think there has to be a stricter lockdown today or tomorrow are some people have speculated? unless the government is prepared to act, individuals are going to make their own decisions. 0k, very clear message. thank you very much indeed. of course, there has been criticism that the government did not step in to do more for the self—employed and speculation of a potential lockdown that we really don't know if the government will go down that path or indeed when the discussions on that is continuing. nhs workers have been doing their bit to spread the "stay at home" message. it was a point made very powerfully by one team of respiratory specialists from belfast. i'm nick and we are the belfast respiratory team. we are now in the greatest medical crisis of our lifetime. stay at home. i'm angela, one of the respiratory consultants. this is the crucial time. this is not a rehearsal. you will only have one chance at this. stay at home. i'm claire. i'm a respiratory nurse. you can play your part to enable us to play ours. please stay at home. i'mjulian, a respiratory consultant. we all have a choice. if you choose to stay at home, you will save lives. please, stay at home. i'm susie. i'm a respiratory consultant and i've been a doctor for 35 years. we are facing our greatest challenge and we are frightened. help us. please stay at home. i'm siobhan, i'm a respiratory physiotherapist. i know where my kids are. where are your kids? keep them at home, stay at home. i'm roisin, a respiratory nurse. doctors and nurses have died. we need to stay healthy, so we can help you. you can help save our lives. stay at home. i'm anne—marie, a respiratory nurse consultant. thousands of people could die here. help us reduce that number, play your part, save a life. stay at home. my name is thelma. i am a respiratory consultant. you've heard my colleagues. this is a crisis. please stay at home, we beg you. a really clear message from people who know, of course. it is really important to stress that if you want to find out what the symptoms are they are all online. it is worth reminding yourself as the numbers go up. all of our social lives have taken a hit in the last few days and that's particularly upsetting for young children who have had their birthday parties cancelled. but one party organiser — who dresses up as a disney princess — is using technology to keep the magic alive. david sillito reports. social distancing. a life indoors. it's not much fun, especially if you are three. if there is germs all around, you can't go outside so we have to stay indoors. are you ready, everyone? # do you want to build a snowman... # come on let's go and play... but one thing hasn't been cancelled. jessica kingsley is today elsa from frozen, and she has found a way to give little harry his birthday party on time. ——0nline. harry started asking me in december to have a frozen party and we were looking forward to it, counting down the days since february. so the fact that we managed to have one was just unbelievable. # let it go, let it go... # i am one with the wind and sky... # let it go, let it go... for many children who are now in isolation, this is one solution for some frazzled families. but there is another issue here — work. oh, wow, hans, you have a lovely voice! because sitting alongside her is josh, who is today playing prince hans. this is all useful work at a difficult moment. all actors are now in the same boat. artists, musicians, anyone in the arts and media, they can't be out there standing on a stage and performing. so there has got to be some way i can still get the magic of our parties and our characters across to the kids. meanwhile, forjessica, this experiment with a virtual birthday party seemed to be working. show me your faces! # do you want to build a snowman... so how did that feel? really weird but really lovely. because it meant i could still give the children magic, and that is what it was about. because it is their special day, and... this crazy pandemic shouldn't take it away from them. # do you want to build a snowman...# i can still see their eyes on me and enjoying it, and that was amazing. very popular idea, i'm sure. it has been a chilly start the day and it is going to be a chilly day generally because they wind or the breeze. the breeze isn't as strong as it was the weekend. for this week, we are looking at dry conditions for most with some sunshine, where the front in the north—west producing some persistent rain and chilly by night. more frost to come. high pressure is clinging on to our weather across england and wales with things fairly settled that he can see the weather front coming into the north—west, introducing the rain. as a buzz telling you that across scotland and northern ireland, it is going to be windy. a lot of dry weather, sunshine, cloud and not that aside, it is going to be dry. the white circles indicate the sustained wind speeds so you can see, especially in the north—west, it is going to be windy with higher gusts than that, temp to wise, seven to about 1a degrees but tempered by the wind and the breeze. through this evening and overnight, it remains at windy and wet across the north—west of the uk. whether cloud remains broken, that is where we are going to have the temperatures outside the top as low as —2 in some parts of england and wales. here, we are looking at a frost. for the rest of us looking at a frost. for the rest of us there will be too much cloud around full doc tomorrow, it is almost a repeat. cloudy across northern ireland and much of scotla nd northern ireland and much of scotland without rain. heaviest and most persistent across the north west. come south, it is going to be largely dry and bright, some hazy sunshine and temperatures up to 16 degrees. possibly more cloud at times across cornwall. from tuesday and wednesday, our weather front sta rts and wednesday, our weather front starts its descent moving slowly southwards for top bumping into the high pressure and weakening it so that means, as it does so, it is not going to produce much more than a band of cloud and also some patchy, light rain. and improved within the north—west of scotland but by then, we could have had as much as 100 millimetres of rainfall. sell a lot of sunshine as we push further south. we could get up to 70 degrees, for example, on wednesday in england. that will be the last day because we lose these yellows, they were pleased the net placed by they were pleased the net placed by the blues as northerly winds come our way. isn't as we head to the weekend, it remains settled but there will be cloud with some patchy rain. this is bbc news, i'm geeta guru—murthy. the headlines at midday. the uk government condemns what they call the "selfish" behaviour of people who ignore social—distancing rules. ministers consider closing all nonessential shops. it's very selfish. the nhs is doing everything it can and preparing for the spread of this virus. and if people go within two metres of others who they don't live with, then they are helping to spread the virus. the uk government promises more protective equipment for nhs staff. the army will help distribute it. the death toll in spain increases to more than 2,100. a62 have died in the past 2a hours. europe's hardest hit country, italy, announces new restrictions with all businesses deemed nonessential told to close. german health officials say they are "cautiously optimistic" that the numbers of new cases appears to be slowing. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel with me, geeta guru—murthy and welcome to our audiences around the world. our top story this morning, the uk's health secretary, matt hancock, has described people ignoring government advice on social distancing as "very selfish". mr hancock said the government was willing to take "more action" if needed to spread the virus from spreading. this could include advising non—essential retail businesses to close. later today, mps will debate emergency legislation that would grant powers aimed at tackling the spread of the virus. under the proposals, airports could shut and police would be able to force people with symptoms to isolate. parents have been told to keep their children at home unless "absolutely necessary". schools are officially shut to most pupils because of the coronavirus outbreak, but children who are vulnerable or whose parents are "key workers" can still attend. elsewhere, despite strict restrictions being imposed in spain, the country has registered its highest daily death toll of people who had caught the coronavirus. a62 people have died in spain in the last 2a hours. in germany, there are grounds for cautious optimism that the rate of infection in the country appears to be slowing for the first time, thanks to social distancing measures in force there. the japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, has told parliament that the tokyo olympic games may have to be postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. it's the first time he's made such an acknowledgement. worldwide, more than one billion people have been told to stay at home because of the virus. the uk's health secretary matt hancock says he is working day and night to get nhs workers the protective gear they need. we've been sending out equipment all through the last week and over the weekend, making sure that every hospital gets a delivery by the end of the weekend, so that is happening as we speak, but i want to make sure that every single person on the front line gets the equipment that they need. that means both the logistics of getting the protective equipment to them, making sure that's the right equipment and it fits right, and of course buying the extra equipment that is needed to make sure that there is ample supply. as i say, we've been able to buy a million more masks. we've shipped 2.6 million over a 2a—hour period, so very significant quantities. but of course it's all about keeping our nhs workers that are on the front line safe. absolutely. the financial times is reporting that british has approached amazon and other companies about using their services to step up the delivery of coronavirus tests to front line health workers. they say that established delivery networks could be used to deliver these tests to medical workers and the public at a later stage. the government has said it is trying to step up the delivery of tests so they know when they can and cannot work. that applies to everyone across the economy and the shortage of tests has criticised politically. let's get more now. our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. obviously the government under massive challenges here. the testing process and the lockdown, the lack ofa process and the lockdown, the lack of a full lockdown, could this now change to you think?” of a full lockdown, could this now change to you think? i think that's all almost certainly will change. it is hard to find many people arguing against the lockdown. the prime minister clearly express his resignations yesterday but listening to the health secretary this morning it seemed to me he was much closer to the position of sadiq khan, the mayor of london, who over the weekend bluntly said to people in london, do not go out,. this morning, we have heard more senior figures coming out saying we need more restrictions. sir keir starmer, the health secretary both saying publicly that they hope boris johnson will set out further measures at his conference this afternoon. number ten say they are looking at the data for footfall in the high street. the number of ten using public transport, the number of people driving particularly in london where the outbreak has been more serious and yesterday, a p pa re ntly more serious and yesterday, apparently around one third of cars we re apparently around one third of cars were still out on the road. not merely a big enough fall to avoid a lockdown, i would suggest. quite possible that if not this afternoon, probably within the next 2a hours we may see further restrictions added to which, that has been the story of this crisis. we have tended to follow what other european countries have done and the brutal truth as the facts are changing around us. we know high—street stores, a number of big—name stores are closing up. city councils and local authorities closing play parks and the like and we have seen organisations like the national trust shutting their gardens so it is already happening around us and i would suggest it is only a matter of time, probably a very short time, before the government does likewise.|j very short time, before the government does likewise. i am just seeing the welsh government says it will force caravan parks are close at necessary because of fears that rural areas would be overwhelmed if people are trying to self—isolate. again, it is... not surprising as it's? if people say london or cities seem to be hot spots. let's go to the countryside if we can to try and escape it and yet the nhs facilities are much less in the countryside but the government has not so far been clear about it is nice, as it? it has, i have to say, been a somewhat mixed message in terms of going out and about. from the prime minister, anyway, who yesterday in his news conference, seemed to suggest that, don't think that taking in the air is somehow going to make you immune or you won't catch the disease but then also stressing that actually going out and about was good for your mental and physical well—being. so that was not quite as clear as it might have been, let's put it no stronger than that. also, in terms of people going to second homes, going to caravan parks, going to remote going to caravan parks, going to re m ote parts going to caravan parks, going to remote parts of the uk. we have seen the scottish government acting, saying to ferry services, scrapped all but essential travel to the highlands and islands, telling hotels, air b&b and the like, not to accept bookings. here, it has been much more advisory. has been no instructions to people not to do things, merely a request for people not do things. i think once they have had a chance to assess the data this afternoon, and if there isn't really a marked fall off in the number of people out and about, then i cannot see how the government can possibly hold back so i think you would have to see a fairly dramatic falloff in people out and about. and certainly anecdotally, talking to foot coming into work in london, the tube seem pretty busy this morning, a lot of people still coming in. a reduced service so those tubes that are coming intently much busier and of concern, a number of essential people will be health workers using the tubes so it is quite a serious issue to get in trouble. are we getting any more information from the government about the age range of people affected? we heard from an opposition mp and a&e doctor in the uk who said that they had seen younger people and the 30—a0 age group who had been seriously ill. public warnings that are coming out from government, are they being specific on ageswe have actually moved from the advice we had from the chief medical officer and chief scientist quite a while ago, almost at the early stages of this outbreak. when the advice was very much the over 80s who are most vulnerable, based on what happened initially where the fertility rate was nearly 8%. the lower you go down —— fatality rate. that said, there have been cases in natalie and it appears here too were much younger, much fitter instances. we have insta nces much fitter instances. we have instances of young people who had regularly gone to the gym and look after themselves, they have contracted coronavirus, other individuals likewise. it does seem those most at risk seem overwhelmingly to be the elderly. we're just hearing on the news agencies that is suspending all road users charging schemes in the capital to ensure critical workers can travel around, suspending congestion charge, that was expected perhaps. the government also looking at emergency legislation that will come into force this week. just one other thing to say on suspending the congestion charge. matt hancock, the health secretary said he was also looking at suspending hospital charging. crucial to make it easier to hospital staff to drive in and park without the disincentive of getting clobbered with either a very large parking ticket or even a client or something like that. he is looking at stripping that out as well. i think the difficulty is ensuring there is still enough space for patients to have patients able to park as well. london, the issue of most concern following a weekend where you have to say the parks here we re where you have to say the parks here were pretty busy, frankly, as people took maybe one of the last few opportunities to get out and about and so they took that opportunity and so they took that opportunity and really very large numbers and i suppose people sticking to the pads so they were not really observing the two metre distance so we are seeing parks, ithink the two metre distance so we are seeing parks, i think the royal parks have already closed and all cafe zen kiosks in london. i think they have also closed access for traffic to richmond and greenwich park and some local authorities also closing their parks so it is happening on the ground, whatever the government is or is not doing and that was actually the story with school closures, you remember before the prime minister took the decision to close schools, many schools had already decided to shut because of and instances of coronavirus. so it seems events are unfolding at a pace which the government will have very little option but to follow along behind. we'rejust little option but to follow along behind. we're just looking at some helicopter pictures, incredible of london, showing the parks, the river, we started just over buckingham palace and all the central parks, the aim is to keep them quiet and to stop people now moving around because it is just quite difficult to maintain a two metre distancing whilst walking around. ithink metre distancing whilst walking around. i think lots have experienced that over the weekend. we have seen in some of the european countries finds being imposed on people that don't obey those lockdown, and the other key question is that if people can't make a living, if they close anything down and nonessential workers are included and they haven't been covered by government compensation schemes, how well they live? the short answer is we will see more from the government, may be a sinister day, on self—employment, in terms of trying to provide some help for those self—employed who really haven't been given much reassurance beyond the fact that they can claim, in effect, sickness benefit, their business is not protected as such so they are in a pretty vulnerable position. i think the chancellor is acutely aware of that. the difficulty is in finding a mechanism to support them because obviously if you are an employee, then you can work through the pe whiteley system to help people who are in work if you yourself point it is much harder but i don't think anyone in government as any on under any illusions, you have about 5 million people who are self—employed to very worried indeed. on the plus side, it is not all bad news. i think it is better news on the testing front in particular, the health secretary this morning, notjust in terms of hoping to ramp up testing which seems to be ramping up relatively gradually. he would hope for a swifter increase but they are looking at beginning at test which can be used on—site and in hospitals, in other words you would not have to send it off to laboratories which means people could be tested much more quickly and identified as having coronavirus or discharged from the hospital, freeing up bed space. many thanks indeed to you for that update on what is going on here and amazing pictures. much quieter london but some traffic and people living around. japan's olympic committee president has just said that they have have reached the stage where they will have to consider postponing this year's olympics in toyko. pressure has been mounting to delay the games with canada and australia announcing they won't be sending teams to the games injuly. the president of world athletics sebastian coe has also called for the olympics to be pushed back. meanwhile, us president donald trump says his country will be "guided" by japan on whether to attend the games as scheduled. lets hear now from bbc sports' katie shanahan. the latest is that overnight to the japanese prime minister, shinzo abe has said for the first time that there is a chance the olympics will be postponed. up until now, he has been determined that the games should go ahead. athletes all over the world have stated they simply don't want to go so the international olympic committee might have no other option. yesterday they gave themselves a four—week deadline to consider other options but they might now be forced to make it sooner than that given this pressure from other nations. for example, canada became the first major country to withdraw. the country's olympic and paralympic committee also urgently called on the ioc, international paralympic committee and the who to postpone the game is for a year. you as a tweet from team canada. more than a performance, a record or a medal. it is about being part of something bigger. we are all team canada. postponed today, conquer tomorrow. meanwhile, the australian olympic committee have said that an australian team could not be assembled in the changing circumstances and they have told their athletes to prepare for a 2021 games. i think what is now supported as it gives certainty to the athletes, to our sports and that is the most important thing and that is what they needed, because the feedback we have received over the weekend, particularly after the new decisions by the government plus what is happening around the world, potential outbreaks in africa and other places, we need to give our athletes that certainty and that is what we have done. sebastian coe has sent a letter to his ioc counterpart requesting the games be moved from july. he said in a letter that analytic games in july july. he said in a letter that analytic games injuly this year is neither feasible nor desirable. in japan, a recent opinion poll showed that 69% of japanese people think that 69% of japanese people think that the games should be postponed bya that the games should be postponed by a year but of course there is huge resistance to cancelling the games altogether. but the olympics should be a time of celebration. a time when the world comes together to celebrate sport but in these uncertain times, that seems less and less likely to be a july and august with a global pandemic of coronavirus tightening its grip. back to you. thanks for now. more than one billion people across the globe have now been told to stay at home to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus. the spread of the infection is rapid and in europe and the us, the numbers continue to climb. worldwide, there are now estimated to be 3a2,000 people with the virus and 15,000 people have died. it's important to recognise almost 99,000 people have recovered. of course, we can only count these numbers if people have been tested. with almost 60,000 cases. so far almost 5,500 people have died. the us has had a rapid rise in the number of people with covid—19. there have been over 35,000 confirmed cases in spain, a62 deaths were recorded yesterday. there have been almost 30,000 confirmed cases of infection and over 1,800 deaths. italians have woken up with new even tougher restrictions in place. people can no longer leave the municipality they are in now, even if they live elsewhere; and non— essential businesses must close in the next two days. across the world one billion people have been told to stay at home. the spread of the infection across the globe has been rapid. we can see here how it is has taken hold in different countries. this moving chart shows you how the focus of the pandemic outside of china has moved. the first focus was on the diamond princess cruise ship, and then on south korea. as time has moved on, the number of people infected in italy has risen exponentially, and the number of people with covid—19 in iran grew rapidly. spain and germany then move up the table, and now you can start to see the rapid rise of cases in the united states. let's turn to spain now, where there has been a big increase in the number of coronavirus deaths. a62 more people died in the last day. that takes the total number of people killed by the virus to more than 2,000. spain has recorded the fourth—largest number of cases and has imposed a nationwide lockdown in response. more now on the situation in spain. i'm joined by fran garcia martin, a journalist self isolating in madrid. thank you for your time today. have you been diagnosed or have you had any illness yet? no, i am not diagnosed because as you know, the situation is quite critical out there. medical staff is overwhelmed. u nless there. medical staff is overwhelmed. unless you have a breathing problem, you won't be tested for the moment. i think they are starting to do more and more tests. that is why we think officially we have just 30,000 cases confirmed but actually i think the figure is much bigger than that. do you have any idea at all as to why the cases are so high in spain? should the government have gone into lockdown sooner? should the government have been doing that if they can? i think now is not the moment to look for responsibilities, we will have time for that. but yeah, the thing is that 15 days ago we we re yeah, the thing is that 15 days ago we were told this is what is just a flu ke, we were told this is what is just a fluke, another flu that has come in and there are symptoms which were not so huge. what we think now is that it not so huge. what we think now is thatitis not so huge. what we think now is that it is killing people and it is not under control, absolutely not. when you go out to the streets, people are really scared. they go out for doing their shopping, and we don't really know what is going to happen because in 15 days, it grew enormously. this is a really sad situation. when exactly did the lockdown start? ten days ago now but yesterday the president of the government, prime minister announced it will be for at least 15 more days which we will arrive to the 12th of april and honestly i am not sure it will be enough. how are you finding it? argue able to go out and get food? yes, we can do that but what happened is that when you go out to buy food, if you do not go out in the first hours, you don't find anything. people are going really early to get the supplies and have a problem in that sense. you are with yourfamily. how problem in that sense. you are with your family. how are you coping psychologically with the situation? for us, it is almost three weeks because we self isolated before as we we re because we self isolated before as we were in italy for three weeks ago for a weekend. and when we came back, i felt ill. for a weekend. and when we came back, ifelt ill. my wife for a weekend. and when we came back, i felt ill. my wife also, we have a baby which is for the moment doing good. we are stuck at home, we just go out to buy essentials. and to go to the pharmacy but that is it, that is all. people having making the case online, i am sure you will have seen, previous generations fought in world war i. a tech future lives, we're alljust being asked to state home which is not so difficult and yet people are finding it very difficult, not least to earn a living. what are you finding amongst your friends and colleagues? what are the challenges of being in lockdown? psychologically, it has a problem. for us, who loved to stay outside, you start realising it is a problem within it is over a week and you cannot do anything. you still continue working as if nothing happened but actually, a lot of things are happening and your head is turning on. we will leave you there, many thanks to you and i hope eve ryo ne there, many thanks to you and i hope everyone stays well in your household and across spain. thanks to you. the numbers have been very bad from spain of course today. some breaking news. there has been some speculation about what happens in government at the top of government if the prime minister were to fall ill himself and have to self—isolate. downing street are confirming that dominic raab the foreign secretary is the so—called designated survival, iee would stand infor designated survival, iee would stand in for boris johnson designated survival, iee would stand in for borisjohnson if he was ill but number ten stressing that tsl. no problem at all with boris johnson's health, but important to have in place a deputy, an official confirmed to deputy. that has been specular and in the press over the weekend about who it would be. dominic raab would be the number two if needed. many people working from isolation in any case. some news and on numbers from wales. it has been published by the public health wales saying a further four patients in wales who tested positive for coronavirus have now died, bringing the total number two 16. the welsh numbers coming in. we will get the uk numbers later today. the coronavirus is a new disease — and that's meant our medical teams have had to learn about it in a very short period of time. the lack of knowledge has left a gap, which many people have tried to fill by searching online — only to find a lot of myths and speculation. so what can we trust? we've asked our chris morris from our reality check team to take a look. don't forget to keep washing your hands. nothing is more effective in helping prevent the virus spread. but beware of the viral claims that keep appearing online. myth number one: holding your breath. if you can hold your breath for more than 10 seconds without discomfort, one widely shared claim asserts, there is no fibrosis or scarring in the lungs, and basically no infection. nope — holding your breath is not a test forfibrosis, and fibrosis is not a symptom of covid—19. the main symptoms, don't forget, are a high fever and a persistent, dry cough. myth number two: home—made hand sanitiser recipes. beware internet solutions for home—made sanitiser. anything based on disinfectants for cleaning surfaces probably won't be suitable for use on the skin. as for suggestions that vodka could work, unfortunately it doesn't contain enough alcohol to be effective. myth number three: the virus can survive on surfaces for up to a month. this is highly unlikely. take research in other strains of coronavirus like sars or mers. it shows that viruses can remain infectious on hard services like metal, glass or plastic from about two hours up to a maximum of nine days. but the uk government says the risk of contamination is likely to be reduced significantly after 72 hours. myth numberfour: cow urine. some hindu groups believe cow urine has medicinal properties and can ward off coronavirus and other diseases. not so, say the experts. cow urine doesn't cure things like cancer and there is no evidence at all that it can prevent covid—19. you are better off simply washing your hands. and if you want the latest information on the virus you can head to our website. you can read this piece explaining the concept of ‘shielding' — which is when the most vulnerable people in society are asked to self isolate to protect themselves from the virus. and for the most up to date information from around the world you can follow our live page as well. that's all at bbc.co.uk/news — or bbc.com/news, depending where you are in the world — or you can download the bbc news app. prime minister borisjohnson has faced calls for tougher restrictions especially in london, such as only allowing food stores and pharmacies to remain open. but thorrun govind, a community pharmacist in manchester says the biggest worry for pharmacists is staffing levels. shejoins me now. thank you for your time. what are you finding? are you suffering from people getting sick or self isolating yourself? good afternoon. pharmacy teams are working incredibly hard across the country but yes, it is a worry because we have to make sure they are staring well. —— staying well. and reminding the public that interaction with pharmacy teams might change. we are limiting the number of people who come into pharmacies so you might find that only three people can come in at once and it is really crucial that we do this because we need pharmacy teams, pharmacists, to stay well so that we can keep supporting vulnerable patients. how do you enforce that if people are frightened and worried about getting supplies and pharmacies running out of stores that people will try and push in, it is difficult to monitor that and force people to stand two metres apart? it is very difficult i would urge people to follow this guidance because we want to make sure that we can continue to provide medication. at the moment, many pharmacies across the country are providing delivery service to vulnerable patients and many others patients may be self isolating. so we need to make sure that they stay well so this is a plea on behalf of pharmacies across the country, pharmacy teams, please respect our boundaries and other social—distancing and make sure that if you have coronavirus symptoms, you do not enter the pharmacy. if you have coronavirus symptoms, you do not enter the pharmacym anything that can be done to help in the delivery front? for example, would you welcome community groups offering to take deliveries from the pharmacy to older neighbours for example? if you have neighbours who can look after and support that is absolutely fantastic, provided of course they do not have the symptoms and a number of volunteers across pharmacy sectors are helping at the weekend. for example hospital pharmacies are helping support the community college at the weekend, with deliveries. it has been our whole sector supporting each other. we are helping ensure fewer patients end up in hospitals, we are here pa rt end up in hospitals, we are here part of the nhs working as hard as we can and i really commend everyone who is doing their ultimate best for these patients. many thanks indeed. we will obviously heed that advice and of course pharmacies are utterly crucial in terms of keeping that public service going, many thanks. dependent now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. some spring sunshine for most of us today. there is a weather front at the moment that is bringing some wet weather into the far north—west was not this weather front is going to be with you as well for the next couple of days. plenty of isobars are tied into that front which means that the winds remain a feature but for the bulk of the country, it is about dry settled weather with some spring sunshine on offer. the rain cheaply into the northern and western isles but certainly a little more cloud across scotland and northern ireland this afternoon and where we have got the most persistent rain, we will also see winds gusting in excess of a0 to 50 mph. temperatures ranging from eight to 1a degrees. as you go through the night, we keep that cloud and rain feeding into the north west. the isobars open up further south, clearer skies by day which continue through the night. that will allow their temperatures to pull away so a chilly start to tuesday morning but again, dry, settled and sunny of the most. the rain sitting mostly to the far north—west but a fair amount of cloud in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures a degree also higher as the winds are southerly with a top temperature of 16 degrees. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the uk government condemns what they call the "selfish" behaviour of people who ignore social—distancing rules — ministers consider closing all nonessential shops. the uk's health secretary promises more protective equipment for nhs staff — the army will help distribute it. mps in the uk will debate emergency legislation that would include giving police the power to force people with virus symptoms to isolate. the death toll in spain increases to more than 2100 — a62 have died in the past 2a hours. pressure grows on the international olympic committee to postpone the tokyo 2020 games — canada becomes the first major country to officialy withdraw. just two more new signs coming in. abu dhabi etihad stadium airways has said it would temporarily half some wages and cut others by a quarter due to demand. it will suspend and has suspended in fact all passenger flights for two weeks but we haven't had that confirmed yet by se had directly. clearly some speculation that they are going to to cut wages for some staff, including management. alsojust for some staff, including management. also just want to let you know, we have had some numbers in from singapore. health ministry has reported 5a new cases of the coronavirus, mostly from residents returning from other parts of the world where the infection has spread. of the new infections, a8 we re spread. of the new infections, a8 were imported cases. singapore total now stands at 509 with two fatalities. follow the rules voluntarily, or face tougher measures. that was the message on social distancing from the prime minister boris johnson yesterday. let's just remind ourselves of the official advice. we should remain at least two metres apart to keep safe. public transport should be avoided, unless it's essential. those who can, should work from home. and employers should encourage it. don't attend public orfamily gatherings, whether large or small. and we shouldn't go to a gp surgery in person. instead, we're being asked to use the phone or online services to make first contact with our doctors. nhs workers have also been doing their bit to spread the "stay at home" message. it was a point made very powerfully by one team of respiratory specialists from belfast. i'm nick and we are the belfast respiratory team. we are now in the greatest medical crisis of our lifetime. stay at home. i'm angela, one of the respiratory consultants. this is the crucial time. this is not a rehearsal. you will only have one chance at this. stay at home. i'm claire. i'm a respiratory nurse. you can play your part to enable us to play ours. please stay at home. i'mjulian, a respiratory consultant. we all have a choice. if you choose to stay at home, you will save lives. please, stay at home. i'm susie. i'm a respiratory consultant and i've been a doctor for 35 years. we are facing our greatest challenge and we are frightened. help us. please stay at home. i'm siobhan, i'm a respiratory physiotherapist. i know where my kids are. where are your kids? keep them at home, stay at home. i'm roisin, a respiratory nurse. doctors and nurses have died. we need to stay healthy, so we can help you. you can help save our lives. stay at home. i'm anne—marie, a respiratory nurse consultant. thousands of people could die here. help us reduce that number, play your part, save a life. stay at home. my name is thelma. i am a respiratory consultant. you've heard my colleagues. this is a crisis. please stay at home, we beg you. a clear message from nhs staff there and wejust a clear message from nhs staff there and we just all that need to remember it. let's talk more now about the letters that will start to arrive from tomorrow to the 1.5 million people in the uk who have been identified as belonging to one or more of the at—risk groups. they will be contacted by their gp practice, specialist or both, strongly advising them to stay at home for a period of at least 12 weeks. but 12 weeks in isolation is a long time. so what impact can that have on mental health and what strategies can peple use to stay mentally healthy? terri apter is psychologist from the university of cambridge and joins me now. terri, as i said a bit earlier, previous generations had to fight in global wars, we arejust previous generations had to fight in global wars, we are just being asked to stay—at—home. tough as it is, people have got to remember that it isa simple people have got to remember that it is a simple instruction. it is simple and having this simplicity for the one and a half million people is, in a way, helpful. it gives you clarity and a marker for other people, this is my situation andi other people, this is my situation and i can't do anything about it, i have to comply. i think the first challenge really will be to comply. we like to think of ourselves as independent. we enjoy routines and recipes of daily life where we can make ourselves comfortable and feel as though we have some kind of control. so, we were told that you cannot do very much, you have to do this, it is a blow to your pride. but i think we have to realise that we are all interdependent. none of us we are all interdependent. none of us really stand on our own two feet on our own. this isn't a selfish act, it is altruistic, people are doing this to help others. for those who might be getting a letter in the next few days, some people will perhaps find it reassuring that they have been given this clear advice but others might find it a bit worrying, i suppose? there will be other challenges. the first is of course loneliness. loneliness isn't only uncomfortable, it is also bad for our health. people who are lonely are much more susceptible to illness and they actually feel pain more intensely so it is important to try to avoid this. immediately make a list of all the people you can contact. ok, so sorry to cut in there but we do appreciate your time and advice. very grateful for your time. let's cross to edinburgh where the first minister of scotland is speaking. i'm very grateful to everyone who is complying with the advice. it is clear that the vast majority of people are making a very serious effort to limit the social contact. i also want to thank the pubs, restau ra nts, i also want to thank the pubs, restaurants, cinemas, and other places that have closed and make clear to a ny places that have closed and make clear to any that are thinking and not complying, we will within days have emergency powers and we would use them but nobody should rely on that. please do the right thing now. many shops have also taken the decision to close and i thank them for that. my message today, to stop that are still open, is this and it is clear, if you are not providing essential items like food and medicines, then please also close now. however, today, it has been clear to me that there are still too many people across our country who are being expected to or expecting to go to work as normal, and that presents a serious and unnecessary risk of spreading the virus. i want to reiterate, if you run a business and the nature of it makes it difficult for you or your workers to work from home or to practise safe social distancing, you should close for the period of the efforts to combat this virus. if you are an employee and a white face isn't abiding, i would encourage to your employer —— and your business isn't abiding. my advice to places like hair salons would be to close. i know this is a difficult situation for businesses and i know difficult judgments are having to be made. i therefore asked for additional guidance to be drawn up urgently by government for businesses that will make clear exactly what we are expecting of them and how they can make the right judgments expecting of them and how they can make the rightjudgments about what is essential and what is not essential. the uk government has put in place measures to pay wages, even when workers are not at work and we are pushing for and are very hopeful of seeing very soon, further measures to support freelancers, the self—employed and contract workers. this support is rightly in place and it should enable businesses now to do the right thing, for themselves and their workers. i repeat again, i know these decisions are not easy but they are necessary. they are necessary for us but they are necessary. they are necessary for us to slow down what is now becoming a rapid acceleration of this virus. that is necessary in order to reduce the peak of the number of people infected and the need to do that to prevent our national health service being overwhelmed. if our nhs becomes overwhelmed, people will die needlessly and avoid a bleak and thatis needlessly and avoid a bleak and that is what we are seeking to prevent. i can't say this strongly enough, this is about saving lives. i want to turn to a number of announcements today aimed at improving advice and support for patients and also relieving some of the other pressures on our nhs. as of today, we are now operating new community hubs, a new model of service and provision and we will hear a bit more about this in a moment, but what it means is that from today, if patients with coronavirus symptoms that need additional advice, they should dial nhs 2a or 111 in and out of hours. not phone their gp. callers to the one—on—one on one helpline will be assessed and if necessary, they will be transferred to a community hub. these will be staffed by senior clinicians from across the health ca re system clinicians from across the health care system and they will ensure that patients get the best possible advice at the right time. it means that anyone who has coronavirus symptoms and needs additional help or advice can now call the same number anytime, day or night, seven days a week. as a result of that, it will help to free up gp practices to treat and care for all non—coronavirus related conditions. u nfortu nately, non—coronavirus related conditions. unfortunately, while we are dealing with coronavirus, people will still be getting on well with other things, too. as an aside, this is an important aside, i want people to ta ke important aside, i want people to take careful note of this. if you need a sick note right now, those are available on the nhs inform website. you should go there to access sick notes. please do not call the 111 number because that is putting nhs a 2a under unnecessary pressure. as well as the changes we're making around the community hub model, i can announce we are also empowering community pharmacies by extending the minor ailment service. community pharmacies are doing an incredibly importantjob andi doing an incredibly importantjob and i want to thank them for that. it is important that they are able to work together to ensure that, between practices, services and hours are being extended. these assets will make it easier for patients to access advice and support and that is vital but they will also help relieve some of the pressure on our front line will also help relieve some of the pressure on ourfront line nhs staff. in addition, finally, we have now provided all local authorities with an assurance, an important assurance, that government will meet all of the extra costs they are incurring as they help to adapt the ca re system incurring as they help to adapt the care system to the increased pressure placed on it by coronavirus, with many people requiring continued support for daily living, whether or not they have contracted the virus pulled up i hope that gives local authorities in the comfort they need to get on and make the changes in social care that will be required in the weeks to come. this weekend, it has been incredibly difficult for people. it has been the most unusual weekend in my lifetime and that is true for all of us. that is tough. the measures we are asking people to take right now are not easy, they are profoundly and fundamentally changing the way we live our lives. i cannot stress enough how important it is that people do what we are asking them to do. we are not asking it lightly, we not asking people to do things that we don't consider to be absolutely necessary. what we're asking you to do is vital to slow down this virus and to reduce its peak impact, protect the ability of our nhs to provide the care and treatment to those most seriously ill and to save lives. that, i ask everybody, if you, as all of us will, are feeling frustrated, the things we take for granted in our normal lives can't be done or aren't there for us, whether that is your cup of coffee in starbucks through to your visit to the pub on a friday night, from a whole multitude of things more important than that, every time you're feeling frustrated, just remember, we are all going through this necessary period to save as many lives as possible. can a hand over briefly to the chief medical officer and they will also hand over to the cabinet secretary to give more details on the announcements today. we have said now repeatedly from this platform that we are on the cusp of the rapid acceleration of cases of coronavirus in scotland for the top sadly, we have also talked about people dialling and people being seriously unwell and admitted to intensive care. —— sadly, people dying. we have 23 people currently in our icus across scotland who have coronavirus and each of them represents perhaps 40 500 other people that will have become infected in the course of their illness. but we also know that our community surveillance is going to increasingly give us an accurate picture, and i would predict, that as we have said repeatedly, those numbers are an underestimate of the actual size of the issue in scotland. the measures we have talked about our hard and life changing. the people that you interact with, if they give you coronavirus, you will pass that on to the members of your household, you are risking actually infecting the people you spend most time with, the people you spend most time with, the people you love, your friends, your family, your elderly relatives. when people are mixing outside their families, they really need to be absolutely sure that those interactions are worth the risks that they are taking. we have talked repeatedly about the risks to our nhs, but people who are not socially distancing, who are not following the measures, are not only risking themselves, their friends and families, they are also risking the health of our nhs staff. nhs staff, social care staff, who perhaps, more than ever before, need to be protected in order to keep as many people alive in there is a pandemic as possible. we know that this is difficult and we know that this is for the long haul, we have said these measures are at least three months in the first instance. we need to be realistic about peoples lives, so exercise is extremely important. fresh air, keeping fit, but also it is very good for people's mental well— being. we but also it is very good for people's mental well—being. we are saying that people should go out once a day to exercise, whatever that exercise may be. for you, a walk, run, a cycle, but don't do it except in small family groups. do not mingle with other people while out in the outdoors. we are going to have to adapt to life in this new world. we don't want people to become unwell for other reasons. we wa nt become unwell for other reasons. we want to keep people as fit and healthy as possible. we will encourage people to continue to use the outdoors to keep their mental and physical well being as possible but we are really in this for a marathon, not a sprint. thank you, i will hand over now. the new national community hub and assessment centres service that we have started today is for patients experiencing covid—19 symptoms who require additional clinical and medical advice and support. it rests on that set numberand advice and support. it rests on that set number and that is why it is very important that people are using that number, 111, to access sick note to go to the website. when people phone the number for the support, they will be asked a number of questions and on the basis of theiranswers, either of questions and on the basis of their answers, either provided with additional medical and clinical advice or an appointment made for them to attend a local assessment centre. at that assessment centre, they will be seen in person and again, either provided with treatment at that point or admitted to hospital. this is a single service across the whole country, delivered through our health boards, covering our remote and rural communities as well, so it is national coverage through that 111 number, available 20 a7. what that also allows us to do is free up our gp practices to provide the health ca re gp practices to provide the health care that they do provide to non—covid—19 patients. bringing in the community pharmacy, extending their reach through the minor ailment service and their access to emergency care records, which contain by and large information about the medication at that particular individual is on, allows our community pharmacy service, again across the whole country, to play its full part in responding, not only to the covid—19 challenge, but to provide health care services to patients. all of that is designed to patients. all of that is designed to ensure that individuals have a single route to the advice and support they need to help them if their symptoms require it and, at their symptoms require it and, at the same time, ensure that our health service in the communities, the bedrock of our service, continues to provide the health care that other patients need who do not have covid—19 symptoms. that other patients need who do not have covid—19 symptomslj that other patients need who do not have covid-19 symptoms. i will take some questions now. on your point, some questions now. on your point, some of your mps and msps, have said, why are we not tasting people at airports? some people said that not affected. some have said unconfirmed rumours about army gatherings in parks. today we have had scotrail saying there is nothing they can do to stop people packing into trains. people should take responsibility. what would you say to all that? i appreciate these are all connected but there are differences between these examples soi differences between these examples so i will try and take each of them on. i haven't seen carol's tweeted this morning but i know what you're referring to, people are entitled to ask questions. i think if people have questions, i would rather they are asking them, on the behalf of constituents or individual citizens was that we can answer those questions and if there is misinformation out there such as the army in strathclyde park, we can put that right. i don't want people to feel that they can't ask questions. in terms of scotrail, i have sympathy with what they said which is why i said i think there is a response ability on the government to make clear to businesses that there are too many people right now who are being expected to go to work and that is why i am being very clear today that businesses have a response ability to really look at what is essential and what is not. it is not essential or their workers can't work at home, they should consider closing their business. i recognise that different businesses will find these judgments difficult to make which is why we are going to doa to make which is why we are going to do a bit more guidance to help people work their way through these judgments was that there will always be difficult cases, there will a lwa ys be difficult cases, there will always be exceptions but i would rather we work through the exceptions from a point of principle, that we must be supporting people to stay—at—home as the key piece of advice wherever possible. on john mason, the key piece of advice wherever possible. onjohn mason, i would say it very categorically, the advice he has given around his constituency being able to go to church,... nicola sturgeon there, there have been four more deaths in scotland bringing the cases to 1a. the message being repeated across the country to stay at home, self—isolate, wash your hands and just listen to your government's advice. there is much more online and it is being updated all the time and it is being updated all the time and this is it bbc news, thanks for watching. if we are asking businesses across the economy to make these changes, we must be prepared to lead by example and make those changes ourselves. do you acce pt those changes ourselves. do you accept scotrail's explanation of people... just coming away from that briefing there. the weather is coming up now. see you soon, bye for now. for many it has been a drag a settled story and that will continue for much of the week but there are one or two exceptions. —— a dry, settled story. many are seeing a spring sunshine but further north and west, we have had a weather watcher picture which illustrates the point beautifully, there is quite a lot of cloud and there will be some outbreaks of rain. for a weather front that is going to sit here for a couple of days. the rainfall totals will start to top up, could have 100 millimetres or more but most of that across western isles through the day to a fair amount of cloud into scotland and northern ireland but elsewhere we keep the blue sky and we keep the sunshine. there is still a bit of a breeze along that exposed east coast and stronger winds to the far north and stronger winds to the far north and west. here, it will be quite windy. temperatures should get into double digits was up again with that breeze may be feeling a little cooler on the east coast. top temperatures of seven to 1a degrees. now, as we move out of monday and tuesday, clear skies by day. they will stay with us through the night that interpreters are going to fall away and quite contrast develops at the start of tuesday morning. —— temperatures are going to fall. overnight lows between six and 7 degrees but further south, low single figures not out of the question and a touch of light frost quite possible as well. here at the off dry, settled and sunny and the winds are starting to swing round to more of a southerly, it will feel noticeably milder, particularly in any shell toe so temperatures should peak at 16 degrees was that weather front in the northern and western isles in particular for front in the northern and western isles in particularfor some it is like convey about sitting on the far north—west and it stays with us on wednesday pulled up it is going to slowly push its way south but it will weaken all the time. not produce too much in the way of rain as it moves down to the borders. elsewhere, it is a dry story again on wednesday with temperatures peaking at 15 degrees, the high. as that when a friend put way south, it is not going to produce that much in the way of rain but one thing that is going to be interesting is the winds wilson swing round to more of a northerly so as we approach the weekend, a real different feel in the weather. it will stay dry, settled and predominantly sunny much of the week but noticeably colder.
