And children return to school in denmark as more countries in europe relax their lockdowns welcome. Today, another grim statistic there are now more than two million confirmed cases of coronavirus globally, according to figures from Johns Hopkins university. And the us remains the centre of the global outbreak with more than 600,000 cases and 26,000 deaths. More on that later. Beacuse were starting here in the uk, where the government has been responding to criticism about the situation in care homes. Charities have warned the virus is running wild inside them lets start by looking inside of one. Heres our Health Correspondent lauren moss. We will be there with you. A heartbreaking goodbye from a family unable to visit their grandmother. Theirfinal words to her read by a care worker. For now, grandma, this is goodbye, but i know you will always be with us in our hearts. We have all got on with it and done what we can. And i can sleep well at night knowing that i did give them all the love and care that i could in their last moments. Behind the doors of care homes like this one in liverpool, the consequences of the virus are devastating. I cant tell you how hard it is to lose 16 residents, 16 residents in the space of three weeks. Its horrendous. It is absolutely heart rending and horrendous. Staff are doing all they can to protect residents. In sheffield, care workers moved into their home to minimise outside contact. Were on our fourth week now and we have so far set out what we achieved to do and keep the virus out. It is hard being away from the family, but we are doing it because we care and for the right reasons. The government has announced stricter guidelines to increase the isolation of people within care homes where required. At the same time the Health Secretary has loosened restrictions on people being able to visit their dying relatives. Ive been really moved and upset by some of the heartbreaking stories of people dying without a loved one nearby. As a father of a 13 year old myself, the reports of ishmael dying at age 13 without a parent at his bedside made me weep. And the sight of his coffin being lowered into a grave without member of his family present was too awful. So im pleased to say that, working with Public Health england, the care sector, and many others, we are introducing new procedures so we can limit the risk of infection while wherever possible giving peoples closest loved ones a chance to say goodbye. Relatives have welcomed the move. But there is still a concern that deaths in care homes are being overlooked. These are the latest official uk figures. The daily death toll rose by another 761. That brings the official count to almost 13 thousand. But those figures only record deaths in hospital, not care homes. The actual number could be much higher. This graph shows the number of excess deaths in england and wales up to april third. Theres clearly a huge rise in the number of people whove died, but only around half of those deaths are recorded as covid related. Englands chief medical officer addressed the issue earlier this week. The most important number in my view actually over the epidemic as a whole is going to be all cause of mortality. So thats death of any sort. And obviously of that, some of them have been diagnosed by their doctor as having had covid 19. Now, over the ones that are diagnosed with covid 19 are in hospital now, and it will be true of other settings, that will be based on testing. So over time, the accuracy of that will increase. Earlier today, scotland released figures which included deaths where covid 19 was registered on the death certificate. That saw the toll rise from 596 to 962. The Scottish First minister says a quarter of all covid 19 deaths in scotland have taken place in care homes. Now, i am acutely aware this information is really hard to hear. It is also very hard to report on. These numbers are higher than anybody would have ever wanted to think about. But we do need this fluid information to understand the toll this virus is having and how and where the virus is progressing and also to inform what we do next. One of the problems across the uk is a lack of testing. Its made it difficult to respond adequately to outbreaks in care homes. Now the Health Secretary is promising testing for all care residents and staff in england with covid 19 symptoms. Heres our assistant Political Editor norman smith. It is a promise, however it does come with a very big but. In the but is that there is no timeframe for delivering this testing for all care workers and residents in care homes who wanted, so to the extent it remains an aspiration and you have to say it is getting pretty late in the day admitted to some of the reports weve had from care homes of the virus really spreading through some homes. Up until now, priority for testing has been given to staff in the National Health service. At todays briefing our Health Editor hugh pym asked the Health Secretary for more detail on how testing in care homes will work. Given you are making quite slow progress to your 100,000 a day target by the end of this month, how you actually going to cover this large number of social care staff and nhs staff and hospital patients . How will it be achieved . As i said, hugh, we are building capacity of testing all the time and the reason the figures on the number of tests done have been flat over the last couple of days has been because of not enough demand rather than not enough capacity. And that gives us the space to be able to increase the number of people eligible for testing. So now we have Testing Available right across the nhs and social care for all those who need it. Lets speak to our politicial correspondentjessica parker. Stay with us on 0ustide source, still to come were going to assess Donald Trumps criticisms of the World Health Organisation. I think the government is faced ongoing questions on testing, it was not long ago that it emerged that they were prioritising testing, for understandable reasons, for patients we re understandable reasons, for patients were in hospital wanting to identify those with serious symptoms whether oi those with serious symptoms whether or not they have coronavirus. Question as to why more nhs staff are not being tested because nhs staff showing symptoms may have to use up isolation at home or Family Member and he cannot be on front line. Deal with the coronavirus caring for people with it, so the government responded on that cingulate of the number of patients and their creepy strength through sites, but now what about, care workers and i think that what matt hancock was trying to do today more broadly was create some parity between the workers because for understandable reasons, a lot of her nhs resourcing trying to make sure that the nhs can cope with the number of coronavirus patients coming in that its been the big game to make sure that its capacity would never be reached in terms of the cases its dealing with but also what about these care Home Settings that are very vulnerable with elderly people and they may have got coronavirus and care home workers and settings are given with the provisions in testings they need to deal with that. And care workers are held with three high esteem, talk about ramping up a National Recruitment campaign and some additional training to get more care workers on the front line, delivering millions of items of personal protective equipment and this is being mentioned earlier ago, trying to ensure that people and ca re trying to ensure that people and care home workers showing signs of coronavirus and as well as patients and care home residents that they will also get tests. The big question is when this will be delivered and of course the government set a target of 100,000 tests per day by the end of this month and as things stand, this took quite a way of the target. Very briefly, where the Opposition Labour Party been saying . Of the neighbour to make major things major things is to clarify on the exit strategy, how will get the country out of lockdown. An exit strategy is extensive work to go across the hall in the labour party saying that their new leader was saying that their new leader was saying that their new leader was saying that it will be a bit of a light at the end of the time for people if they knew how they were going to emerge from the current lockdown as far as the government is concerned they did not want to send mixed messages. They want to make sure they stick to the social distancing and not confuse the message by talking about next strategy to soon. Taking a look at Donald Trumps criticisms of the World Health Organisation. A 99 year old Second World War veteran who was hoping to raise a thousand pounds for the nhs by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday has now raised over £8 million. His name is captain tom moore, here he is talking about his success i think thats an absolutely enormous. When we started with this exercise, we didnt anticipate well get anything near that sort of money. And just shows that people have such high regard for our members of our National Health service. And its really amazing that people have paid so much money to the service, care and attention weve got has been out of this world. From top to bottom, they have worked so hard and theyre so humble and, i think weve got to say, theyre all so brilliant. This is 0utside source, live from the bbc newsroom. The uk Health Secretary has pledged to do far more testing, as anger giows over coronavirus deaths in care homes. The World Health Organization has called for International Unity after donald trump stopped funding the body. In the United States almost 27,000 people have died from covid 19, making it the country worst affected by the covid 19 outbreak. But its the words and actions of President Trump still dominating the headlines. Hes been heavily criticised for halting funding for the World Health Organization. Heres how it began. Today, im instructing my administration to halt funding of the World Health Organisation while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organisations role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus. Everybody knows whats going on there. World leaders, diplomats and doctors have criticised the announcement. This is what the World Health Organization itself had to say earlier. This is a time for all of us to be united in our common struggle against a common threat. A dangerous enemy. When we are divided, the virus exploits the cracks between us. We are committed to serving the worlds people and to accountability for the resources with which we are entrusted. And this is the reaction from the editor of the lancet medicaljournal. Well, the World Health Organisations primary role is to defend the health of the worlds population. And a crime against humanity is a systematic attempt to hurt the health and well being of a population. Donald trump has clearly committed that crime. As well as accusing the who of a cover up, donald trump said it failed to adequately assess the outbreak when it first emerged in the city of wuhan and accused it of trusting china too much. The who willingly took chinas assurances to face value, and they took itjust at face value, and defended the actions of the Chinese Government, even praising china for its so called transparency. I dont think so. Heres chinas reaction. Translation the current Global Pandemic situation is grave. This is a critical moment. The us decision will weaken the whos ability to handle the pandemic and will undermine the International Cooperation against covid 19. All nations, including the United States, will suffer from the impact of the decision. And kerry alan has been monitoring chinese social media for us. China and the us have had a very difficult relationship going back to early january when we were first hearing about the virus. And it is very much the case that we have been hearing donald trump calling it the chinese virus and Chinese Media are wanting to give the impression that the us was not cooperating, was pointing the finger, so now that the us has suspended funding for the who, this really increases this line in china and people are very angry about this. They are saying the us is not being cooperative, very much donald trump distancing himself from everything and wanting to point blame rather than helping other countries. So now im seeing a lot of alliance on social media platforms with people saying that he clearly does not care about other peoples feelings and theres a lot of anger towards him and a lot of concern for the us people. A bit of context here. The us has the highest number of cases and deaths worldwide and theres been criticism of the federal governments handling of the crisis. So this is also political. A blame game ahead of this years us president ial election. Lets bring in Anthony Zurcher in washington. The events of many deaths there in the us, but this is an election issue. It is and that is simply the reality here. It is politicians were handling this crisis and by nature, it is going to be a political debate really co m es it is going to be a political debate really comes down to it. Donald trump is been getting a lot of criticism for his handling of the us response to this virus, downplaying its severity early on, whether he did to prepare various hospitals and Health Care Systems to deal with the patients and so now you have seen him attempt to shift some of this blame, most recently to the who it is also talking about china, governors and state not doing enough or democrats in congress are coming up or democrats in congress are coming up with a goodenough legislation of solution but if you look back, donald trump was praising china possibles response for saying theyre being possibles response for saying they re being transparent. Possibles response for saying theyre being transparent. So the same thing he is accusing the who of, he actually engaged in similar type of language earlier on this year. And viewers may remember anthony, that donald trump wanted to reopen the us by easter. That deadline clearly has been passed. Is there a timeline now . Were talking about right now is may one is the deadline. That is what donald trump appears to want and that is what he is telling his Administration Officials to come up with, but the reality as it is going to be very difficult to open a whole nation on may one and the condition in various states is very different in the bottom line is that state governors are the ones close things down and theyre the ones were going to decide when to open things up again. So that is why you are seeing various associations in states like california, washington on the west coast, new york, pennsylvania, connecticut massachusetts and others on the east coast try to figure out the best way to do it in there looking at a step by step process of where they can control this virus, so they dont get a renewed peak in the spread of more deaths, more hospitalizations when they start to ease up hospitalizations when they start to ease up on hospitalizations when they start to ease up on this restrictions. But all the politicians are looking at november looking the election and they realise that they want the economy to try to rebound at some point soon. Fascinating, the power balance there. Thank you very much for that. Now lets assess Donald Trumps criticism of the who. How valid is it . Im going to get some help here from a familiar face. Ros atkins has been off outside source for the last few weeks but hesjoining us from his home to look at this side of the story. Hi ros, good to see you. You too, lewis. Yes my family and i are going to be staying at home for a while, so its good to be back on the programme if not in the newsroom. Now lets look at the who and Donald Trumps criticism of it starting with the World Health Organization itself. Its a un agency based in geneva, with an annual budget of over 2. 5 billion dollars that comes in part from member countries, and in part from philanthropic donations. America is the largest donor. It pledges 400 Million Dollars annually. Though it is in arrears on its contributions. The second largest contributor is the bill and melita gates foundation. And there is now a sharp divide between these top two donors. Donald trump says us money is suspended because the who has worsened the outbreak with mismanagement and has covered for chinese mistakes. Bill gates tweeted this. Arguing that mr trumps move is dangerous adding that if the whos work is stopped, no other organisation can replace them. Clearly the two men dont agree but their analyses dont necessarily cancel each other out. Heres why. It is certainly true that some of the whos statements have raised a few eyebrows. In january, it said there was no evidence that covid 19 could be transmitted from human to human. But it was already happening. In late january, it declared a Public Health emergency but said severe travel restrictions were not necessary. Countries introduced them all the same. It also said there was no need for all of us to wear face masks and
