there feels that they need to impose this lockdown for 2 weeks to try to break the chain of transmission there is a number of places around the country we see in the city all begin to do that they've installed 200 mobile testing labs and they're testing everyone and containment zones so this is an area that's boys under lockdown and they're using that time is locked down so are only supposed to be a measure to buy time to increase testing and there was criticism of long johns elsewhere in the country that there's no information from the government about how they are actually using this time ok elizabeth so even with these increasing numbers there are so-called air bubbles being introduced with a few different countries tell us about that. yes the 70 ation ministry announced that it's had negotiations with

international commercial flights they're not a free for all you still have to have visas whether they're residency or work visas to go on them but they do the government has had these flights the united arab emirates for the last week and so they are going ahead continuing with the reopening despite the rise in cases that we're seeing in the country they continuing with trying to reopen internationally thanks for that elizabeth from live from new delhi. leaders are meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate a plan for economic recovery from covert $19.00 and $860000000000.00 package is aimed at pulling the european union what could figure its deepest ever recession the books for biggest economies germany france italy and spain a proposal but those don't talk last month ended in deadlock. british airways is to retire its fleet of boeing 747 aircraft because of the downturn in
