And australia demolishes india by 85 runs to win their fifth womens t20 world cup cricket trophy. Announcer live from our studios in singapore and london. This is bbc world news. It is newsday. Hello and welcome to the programme. Its 9 00 in the morning in singapore, 1am here in the uk, and 2 00 in the morning in italy where a sharp increase in the number of deaths from coronavirus has been announced. 366 people have now died. That is up by more than 100 in just one day. Sweeping quarantine measures have been introduced and the worst affected areas in the north of the country. Our correspondent mark lowen is just outside the affected area in bologna. Like a scene from a nightmare that italy is now living. Sealed inside, a 62 year old man, fallen to the virus. Hes been contained. The outbreak hasnt. Hes transported to hospitals, stretched to the limit. This is the human cost of a disease that has taken hold so fast, infecting, then inca pacitating within days. Translation its really is very difficult. Were exhausted. Weve got so many patients, a lot more than the number were used to managing. We are having to move some patients to another hospital just so we can cope. Medics say corridors are being used for intensive care units, and one of the worlds best Healthcare Systems is near breaking point. The surge in cases has now prompted the most drastic restrictions here since the second world war. Italys financial capital, milan, is bare, virtually locked down, along with 14 provinces. A quarter of the population, quarantined. Everyone returning to the uk from the area must now self isolate. Italys second city, usually teeming with life, is hushed, access in or out strictly limited. Schools and universities are shut until april. Cinemas, pools and nightclubs, too. The Prime Minister talked of a crisis. Translation we are facing an emergency, a national emergency, taking exceptional precautionary measures, and we are facing it with great awareness. Venice is part of the restricted area, one of italys tourism jewels, deserted by a mixture of quarantine and fear. As we drove north from rome, we expected tighter controls. But there are none. We are coming into the start of modena now. Part of the new exclusion zone. You can see theres no total lockdown. There are no police roadblocks, for example. Its too big an area to control in that way. But people are being asked not to leave or enter. We are going to turn around now, because otherwise there is a risk of entering the new quarantine zone. At the vatican, decades of tradition were broken, as the pope made his sunday blessing by video stream, rather than at the window, to a st Peters Square usually filled with thousands. Faith that this will pass is sorely lacking. Mark lowen, bbc news, northern italy. Meanwhile, in china where the coronavirus outbreak first began, the rate of infection in the country is slowing. Chinas National Health commission reported there are 44 new cases of the virus on saturday. That is a drop of more than half seen the day before. Its the lowest daily number of new Coronavirus Infections in the country since january. Staying with china, Officials Say rescuers in the city of quanzhou have managed to pull out 38 survivors, including a child from the rubble of a virus quarantine facility that collapsed on saturday.

Three russians and one ukrainian are accused of playing crucial roles in the shooting down of the aircraft in 2014. The defendants wont be present and relatives of those who died are calling on russia to co operate more fully with the trial. For us, its important to be here today. What we try to signify is we think that russia still has some answers to give us and to explain a lot of things that are still hidden in shrouds. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on greece to open its gates to migrants trying to enter the European Union from turkey. His call comes after days of tensions involving clashes between migrants and greek police. Thousands of people are now stuck at the border. Mr erdogan is to visit brussels today to discuss the migrant situation with eu officials. Now, with the tokyo 0lympics just round the corner, indias badminton player Pusarla Venkata sindhu, known as pv sindhu, has been named as the bbc indian sportswoman of the year.

Congratulations to her. The British Government has Just Announced the creation of a new unit to protect and secure the uk from digital interference and disinformation linked to the virus. It says that the task force is aimed at stopping the deliberate creation and dissemination of false or manipulative information intended to mislead the public. The work will include engaging with social Media Companies to try to monitor any interference and the spread of fake news. Italians in the region of lombardy will be going back to work a little later on monday inside a quarantine zone. This is a familiar situation to people in Asian Countries which have already imposed strict measures to control their virus outbreaks. In taiwan, Lessons Learned from the 2004 sars outbreak have given the government a head start on their response. Ive been finding out more about taiwans outbreak strategy from drjason wang at Stanford University. The most important thing is to be prepared. So in this case, in 2004, taiwan established a command centre, the National Health command centre, which basically is a compound that could host 100 people and so when this outbreak started, it activated the command centre and began to gather data from different places, so one of the things they did immediately was to integrate their National HealthInsurance Data with the National Health insurance id card with the immigration data so they know if people are travelling from china, particularly wuhan, that when they see the data, the data will be alerted that this person has been to china, to they begin to ask more questions about symptoms and begin to activate a more aggressive screening strategy. That is one of the things they did immediately. The other thing that they did was to use mobile technology. So because there is a need to triage a large number of passengers in airports and other ports, they had a qr code where you just kind of scan the qr code and it takes you to an online website where you could enter your travel information, whether you have any symptoms, and if you fall into the high risk category which means you travelled to a level three alert area, they triage you to get more detailed questioning and the those travellers will be quarantined for 14 days. If you didnt and you had no symptoms, you belong to the low risk category, then you could just get out of customs relatively quickly so they control the flow at the airport. That way, you give more attention to people who really need it. Those people who are quarantined, they care for them so they check up on them for symptoms, if they develop worsening symptoms, the government will help them to seek care. And also they could provide food for them if they need it. With a country like italy, for example, its the worst hit country after china after this surge in cases over the weekend. Is it too late for them, can they get a grip on this . Yes, i think to a certain extent, i think you almost have to Leverage Technology these days, so basically you could also ask for peoples symptomology and if they have worsening symptoms, then you could selectively take these people to get care and if they dont, they could stay home. So if you are in quarantine, you want to preserve peoples dignity and you want to provide the care that they need. As a government, i think thats a very important for any democracy in the case of if you are giving self isolation or quarantine, that you feel like a person, you are a person who happens to have been infected with the virus. You are not the virus. So anybody, this could happen to anyone, and so for any democracies, you would need to consider a more humane and dignified way of treating people. That was doctorjason wang at Stanford University speaking to kasia little earlier. Oregon in the United States has been the latest state to make a coronavirus emergency declaration. And neighbouring Washington State is considering what it calls mandatory measures. Meanwhile, its been confirmed that the virus hit grand princess cruise ship is preparing to dock in oakland, california. Earlier i spoke to our correspondent peter bowes in los angeles and i asked him whether the passengers will now be able to disembark. That is the plan, that its heading to oakland now, part of the San Francisco bay. Its a commercial container port, it is more easy to secure than the port in San Francisco which is why they have chosen this particular place. And what will happen when they get there at some point on monday is that the passengers will be able to get off the ship, but they will be taken, depending on where they come from, to different locations where they can be put into quarantine. So those passengers that are from california, and about 1,000 of them will be taken to two military bases in california, those other americans will go to texas and the state of georgia, and the foreign nationals on the cruise will go back to their home countries and the Us State Department has confirmed that it has been in touch with those countries, and indeed the British Foreign office has confirmed it is talking to the authorities here, theres some 140 plus british nationals on that ship. So the end is almost in sight for those people. Bear in mind they have been stranded off the california coast for much of the past week. They know where they are going but there is still a bit of uncertainty as to how they will be spending the next few days. 0ur correspondent peter bowes. Asian markets have been open for a short while and are taking something of a hammering, mainly due to a huge drop in oil prices. We are seeing oilfutures, drop in oil prices.

The numbers of dead and wounded defied belief. This the worst terrorist atrocity on european soil in modern times. In less than 24 hours then the soviet union lost an elderly sick leader and replaced him with a dynamic figure 20 years his junior. We heard these gunshots in the gym. Then he came out through a fire exit and started firing at our huts. God, we were all petrified. James earl ray, aged 41, sentenced to 99 years and due for parole when hes 90, travelled from memphis jail to nashville state prison in an eight car convoy. Paul, whats it feel like to be married at last . It feels fine, thank you. What are you going to do now . Is it going to change your life much do you think . I dont know really. Ive never been married before. This is newsday on the bbc. Im Sharanjit Leyl in singapore. Im kasia madera in london. Our top stories. The official death toll from covid 19 in italys worst affected region of lombardy has jumped by more than 100 in one day. In china, the number of new cases is the lowest in weeks, with nearly all in wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak. The financial time leads on italys quarantine. It says that the crackdown has brought on fears of a recession and the image that they use is a picture of the Main Shopping Centre in milan virtually deserted. Surging cases now means italy is the worst hit nation outside of china. The japan times focuses on mass hysteria and it says rumours about possible killers are going viral online including things like sesame oil, rocks even see letters. It says these even see letters. It saysthese these fake killers are spreading like the infection itself. And the singapore itself. And thesingapore singapore paper focuses on itself. And thesingapore singapore paperfocuses on how the weekend sport fixtures have been hit by a virus fears. They use an image of a sumo wrestling match and you can see there are no spectators there, that all is virtually empty. Now sharanjit a surprise visit for a school here in the uk has got people talking online. Yes this was Meghan Markle making one of herfinal appearances as a Senior Member of the royal family and in particular the reception she got from one rather cheeky head boy. She is really is beautiful, innit . He said she is really is beautiful, innit . Before she wags her finger admonishing him and then gives him a hug. Harry and meghan end their official duties on march 31st. Muslim and hindu communities in parts of the indian capital, delhi, are living in fear following last weeks deadly violence. At least 53 people were killed during religious riots hundreds of families, mainly muslim, fled their homes. The riots have now stopped but theyve left deep scars. We have been to meet some of the displaced to find out what lies ahead for them. Shattered and traumatised. This woman is one among hundreds living in a makeshift relief camp. She had to flee with her family before mobs ransacked her home. Translation all my belongings and lifelong savings were taken away. My husband is without a job and my younger son is handicapped. I am afraid to return home. A diabetic with a heart condition, she is also being treated for acute anxiety and depression. Dozens of relief camps have sprung up to care for thousands of muslims who do not feel safe in their own homes. Many fear such brazen attacks are only the beginning of a dangerous trend in a country that is home to about 200 million muslims. The recent clashes are the deadliest in decades and have created a deep Division Within the hindu and muslim communities. This narrow lane was home to more than 200 people. No longer. Residents of this area had to flee to save their lives before rampaging mobs arrived, torched their homes, looted their property. Only a few of those affected have mustered the courage to come back and see what is left out here. Her daughter is about to get married but the home is gone. She showed me her deserted home, rudely vandalised and burnt by mobs. Translation we never had an enemy. Why us then . Relatives have given us shelter, but for how long . How will my family of nine survive when there is no money to even pay for a rooms rent. For now, men, women and children must sleep in mosques and shelters not farfrom their homes. Still in shock of becoming refugees within their homeland. This is the the First Step Towards ghettoisation, physical, psychological, emotional, when people begin to feel please, do not go there, unless you are going to an area that has enough people of your community. The authorities were slow to react in the beginning but now claim they are helping everyone who has been affected by the violence. But temporary camps are clearly not the answer and little is known about the thousands of Migrant Workers who have left delhi out of fear, for their villages in other states. Despite government assurances, if they do not return, the fragile coexistence between hindu and muslim communities could be ripped apart for a very long time. Australia have beaten india by 85 runs to win their fifth womens t20 world cup trophy. The final at Melbourne Cricket Ground was watched by over 86,000 people, by far the largest crowd for a womens sporting event held in australia. Jo currie was there for us. After three weeks of cricket it is australia who defend their title, their name now on the trophy for a record fifth time after a whopping victory over india here at the mcg. Over 86,000 fans crammed into see the final tonight and a wonderful achievement on International Womens day. I am joined by england cricketer alex hartley, what did you make of the final . It was fantastic. 86,000 people at the mcg. Meg lanning was sceptical when the hashtag fillthemcg came out, but the fans really delivered and what a day for australia to play their best cricket. Australia were under so much pressure from the start of the tournament. Defending champions, hosts and tonight they delivered. How good is this team . This team is fantastic. They lost the first game to india and then they threw everything out and beat them in the World Cup Final and it will not get better for them. They are a fantastic group and even better, they are still a very young team. India were the form side, unbeaten heading into the final. Yet tonight they did not deliver a massive wobble right at the beginning. How much of a wasted opportunity is is for them as a team and for growing the game back home in india . I would not call it a wasted opportunity. They had eight days of no cricket because there was a semi final washout and they missed out there. You do lose momentum when you start,
