i‘ft ht feels on anything. imagine how it feels on this cruise ship at their four people have already died of coronavirus. passengers are hoping to make it to florida on another cruise liner where british people on board will have to attempt to find flights. as desperation grows among those stranded far from home, new measures to help i expected to be announced in the next couple of days. the olympic games injapan will take place in yejuly and august next year. it was the first time the olympics have been delayed in peacetime. they are now scheduled to begin injuly 2021. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. some of us are lucky enough to start her day with blue skies and sunshine. xiao mcleod has developed.

brian in east yorkshire sent a lovely view from his when bay showers in the background. it looks like the showers are set to continue. —— with those showers. at the same time we have showers in the far north of scotland as well. they will sink further south. shower is pushing across the midlands, wales and south—west england. they should be fairly isolated. the wind is not as strong as yesterday but coming from the north generally. although your thermometer might say nine to 11, it might not feel as cold. if you are stepping outside for exercise, it is worth bearing in mind. the winds will fall light and sky is clear across east anglia and the south—east corner. anywhere we see their clad breaking up, the temperatures are likely to fall away. —— see the cloud. high

pressure is still with us and are starting to push its way westwards. there will be lighter winds. the winds circulate around high pressure ina winds circulate around high pressure in a clockwise direction. the wind direction is still from the north but more of an atlantic feed, perhaps a little less cold. the north—westerly wind will drive in more showers across the country, again between nine and ii the high. tuesday and into wednesday we start to see a weather front pushing into the far north—west gradually bringing rain into scotland. the winds are gusting to gale force as the day goes on. elsewhere, after the day goes on. elsewhere, after the early morning sunshine, it will cloud over but largely dry in england and wales with temperatures a degree or so higher, peaking

around 12 degrees. subtle changes with the weather over the next few days. there will be showers at times and often too cloudy but nothing too significant we need to be concerned about. a reminder of our top story... the government says it is ramping up testa ble the government says it is ramping up testable coronavirus amid warnings from doctors that shortages are causing problems for the nhs. that's all from the bbc news at one , so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

hello. this is bbc news with reeta chakra barti. a breathing aid that can help keep coronavirus patients out of intensive care, has been created in just a few days. the device, which has been developed in collaboration with the mercedes formula one team, delivers oxygen to the lungs without the need for a ventilator. earlier, my colleague victoria derbyshire spoke to mervyn singer, professor of intensive care at university college london hospital, and professor rebecca shipley, whose teams developed the mask. once we have proved they are working as we anticipate very well with patients, we are essentially ready to manufacture them at scale. mercedes can currently make 300 a day. we are essentially primed and ready to deliver them to the nhs. 50 the input of mercedes is the capacity to produce these things? absolutely. in terms of the

engineering we have essentially teamed the mechanical engineers at ucl with the mechanical engineers and manufacturing capability at mercedes. that has proved to be a formidable team had a relationship and they deserve massive credit because our mechanical engineers, they literally came into the office ten days ago and have been working day and night. that expertise across the institutions has enabled us to both deliver the engineering capability that is required to do this, and the capability to manufacture at scale to meet the needs of the health care service. professor singer, can you describe this device for us? can you describe it in layman terms? indeed. essentially it is a simple device that plugs into the hospital oxygen supply, that plugs into the hospital oxygen supply, and instead of a usual face a tight—fitting mask or a helmet, is placed over the nose or mouth, or they helmet over the head, and that

is airtight, so the oxygen is delivered under continuous positive airways pressure. it keeps the basis of the longings splintered open and that, essentially with covid—i9, has been found to be a tremendous boon in terms of oxygenating the blood supply. you haven't got one handy to show us, have you? i don't. one second. yeah, go for it. i really wa nt to second. yeah, go for it. i really want to see this thing. we have only got a thousand ventilators in this country at the moment. we need 30,000. if anything can essentially replace it... ok. talk me through that, mervyn? essentially this goes into the oxygen supply. you put tubing from here to the patient.

again, mercedes and the ucl engineers are working out ways of improving the aerodynamics, the flow, and that will improve the oxyge n flow, and that will improve the oxygen news and the efficiency and the comfort for the patient. you have got and on off switch essentially, and you can modulate the oxygen supply and the flow. and the oxygen supply and the flow. and the air is in train through this flow here. you have a mixture of oxyge n flow here. you have a mixture of oxygen coming in, air coming in. you can blend them to get the amount of oxyge n can blend them to get the amount of oxygen correct. and we are working with oxford metro next and they have come up with energisers they can create in bulk. it is very simple. and you believe that could replace ventilators, or fill the gap, and you believe that could replace ventilators, orfill the gap, if you like? yeah, its augmentation. it's not meant to replace. we are already becoming overwhelmed with patients

needing invasive ventilation. a large proportion of patients can be ke pt large proportion of patients can be kept off a ventilator, so you are reserving those for the most critically ill. hopefully you can then get of these patients, after a few days, home. professor mervyn singer. more than 110 countries and territories around the world have put in place widespread restrictions on the movement of their citizens. schools have closed and businesses have been forced to stop working. there are, though, still large differences in the approach that some countries have been taking, as jim reed reports. so, it's vital to slow the spread of the disease. stay at home. it will break the chain of transmission, and it will save lives. a quarter of the world is now living under some form of lockdown.

3 billion people have been told to stay at home. in most of europe, day—to—day life has stopped. in the north of italy, hospitals are still struggling to cope. it's three weeks now since the start of the world's full national lockdown. the street is completely deserted. on a sunday afternoon, usually there would be certainly lots of people. translation: it's a special emergency situation. everyone of us has a responsibility to do our bit so we mustn't approach each other. in northern europe, similar measures are now in force. in the united kingdom, any social gathering is now banned. the public has been ordered to stay at home with only a few exceptions. so this is what a lockdown looks like in the south of london. you are allowed to go out for essential needs, so i have been in the house for a couple of days now, about to go out to the big supermarket. they now restrict the number of people in the building at any one time so the queue to get in goes round there. and finishes there.

there are differences, though. in sweden, schools, cafes and bars have stayed open, at least for the moment. in the united states, meanwhile, some individual states are moving faster than others. the sooner we get back to normal, the better, but obviously that's up to the experts. even the president has to listen to those people and hopefully he'll do that. new york state still makes up around half of all cases nationally. broadway theatres and schools have been shut, residents have been ordered to stay at home. in asia, 1.3 billion indians have been told to stay indoors for 21 days. the government is desperate to stop the virus spreading in its huge cities. translation: no one is helping us. people are scared to give us a ride because of the virus. the police are also asking for our identity cards. in other countries, though, rigorous infection tracking has allowed life to go on. in singapore, the streets are busy and the shops open. it's closed its borders

but there is no lockdown. here, a heat sensitive camera takes your temperature before you are allowed to enter an apartment building or restaurant. i have been very fortunate, we're living in a place like this. in this moment. because most of my friends and family members, they don't have the luxury to contemplate the idea of going out for a drink. in china, meanwhile, the number of new hospital infections in the city where the outbreak began has slowed to a trickle. and the residents of wuhan are now being allowed to walk the streets again. translation: for us, the news about lifting the lockdown is like the biggest recognition for us staying at home for more than two months. it's a positive sign, a relaxation of restrictions in a world that elsewhere has been shutting itself down. that report byjim reed. some

breaking news to bring you about the restau ra nt breaking news to bring you about the restaurant chain carluccio is. they are going into administration. the latest big high street name to be hit by the pandemic. carluccios had already shut a number of its restau ra nts. already shut a number of its restaurants. this latest move will affect around 2000 workers. the press association is reporting that eight is lining up advisers for this new move. carluccios has entered administration. that has just been confirmed. the olympic games injapan will take place injuly and august next year. the tokyo games was postponed last week amid mounting fear over the pandemic. it was the first time the olympics have been delayed in peace time. let's get more with our sports news reporter laura scott. laura, this informationjust been

released this lunchtime. what are the olympic authorities saying? yes, we know they held a teleconference today and decided on these new dates. we had expected the decision to be made this week. we weren't expecting it today. but it's arrived. as expected, it has been moved back almost exactly a year to the day. the olympics will be from the day. the olympics will be from the 23rd ofjuly to the 8th of august, 2021. the paralympics will start on the 24th of august and run until the 5th of september. those dates were decided for a number of reasons. to give them the maximum time to deal with the developments surrounding coronavirus and the disruption it has caused, to protect the health of athletes. but also, with such a jam—packed sporting calendar every year, and next year, it was deemed that moving it by a year was the best possible option. in light of the decision just made

world athletics championships is likely to be moved to 2022, while athletics —— world athletics have already said they are looking at dates in 2022. a big decision has been made but this will now enable people to plan knowing they have these dates in mind. the idea of a spring olympics and paralympics has been shelved and they are going for the summer months, much like it was meant to be this summer. so certainty for people now. is this thou going to mean there are certain athletes who can't compete? we have heard from some athletes in the last week following the postponement decision, who said they may not be able to make the new dates, because prolonging their careers by a year, if they were planning on using tokyo as the last event in their career, it might not be possible for them to make it. and of course this does mean that there will be new qualification and a new selection

events. so some athletes who are on track to make the games this summer, they will have to go through trials this time next year instead. a lot of athletes, this will mean perhaps they don't make it. but the decision has been made to protect the athletes. i would has been made to protect the athletes. iwould imagine, and has been made to protect the athletes. i would imagine, and we have already seen some welcoming the decision and the certainty provides, it will be popular to move it by a year to replicate what they would have had this summer. many for that, sports correspondent laura scott. in her daily news conference scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has confirmed that another 6 people have died from the virus there — taking the total to a7. she also outlined further plans to cope with the spread of the virus by announcing that the scottish exhibition centre in glasgow will be turned into a temporary nhs hospital. initially it will offer an extra 300 beds but will have the capacity to house more than 1,000 patients. she also announced the suspension of various screening programmes

including those for breasts, cervix and bowel. it's not an easy decision, i want to repeat that. but the balance of risk supports the approach that we have taken. it is, however, worth stressing that if you detect any symptoms of the conditions we would normally screen for, if you notice a lump on your breast, for example, you should contact your gp immediately. we will restart the screening programmes that we have paused, as soon as we can. this is a temporary suspension and it will be reviewed after 12 weeks or earlier if evidence suggests restarting the programme is feasible. however, at this moment posing these programmes is an important way of allowing the nhs to deal effectively with covid—19. there's been a surge in new cases of coronavirus cases injapan, amid fears that a lack of widespread testing has allowed the virus to spread undetected. 68 new cases have been

reported in tokyo. japan has not instituted many of the virus protection measures seen in other countries. here's rupert wingfield hayes. so these new measures that the japanese government has brought are really, i think, in response to a significant pick—up in the number of confirmed coronavirus infections injapan over the last week or so. we've seen a particular rise, particularly large rise, here in tokyo over the last few days, so on saturday and sunday, we saw more than 60 new cases on both days. that's much higher than we've seen in previous weeks. and really, japan looks like it had this epidemic well under control for the most of the last month, figures had been going up but going up very slowly. and then really suddenly, in the middle of last week, it started to look like there was an acceleration, and

on saturday evening, prime minister shinzo abe came out and said that he was concerned that tokyo might be on the verge of a very major outbreak. what's really strange here, living here in tokyo, is that even now, life is going on pretty much as normal. over the weekend, parks, the city's parks were all closed down, people were told to stay at home, department stores were closed, so the streets were much quieter. but come monday morning, today we have seen people go back to work, it's still very busy, the city is notoriously crowded subway network is just as crowded as normal, so it is still very strange and a lot of people are questioning why it is that the government, prime minister shinzo abe and the tokyo city government, has not taken stronger measures.

australia has announced that in a bid to reduce the spread of coronavirus, the government is now limiting social gatherings to just two people, down from 10. they have also unveiled a 80 billion us dollar financial package to help the economy. the new measures include a job keeper subsidy to try and help businesses retain at least six millionjobs over the next six months of uncertainty. the new package is the latest in a series of huge announcements over the past week that will see the government invest heavily to support the unemployed and small business owners during the crisis. our correspondent phil mercer has the latest. it seems that each day brings new historical history making announcements by the government. what we have seen today, an $80 billion package to help keep around 6 million australian workers in theirjobs. it is something australia has never, ever seen. this is an attempt by the australian government essentially to put the economy into hibernation. so when

the coronavirus crisis is finally over, they hope is that the workforce can spring back into action. in about 45 minutes' time here in eastern australia, radical measures will be brought in to try to force australians to adhere to strict social distancing regulations. as of midnight here in australia the number of people allowed to gather outside will be limited to just two people. the chief medical officer here in australia saying that these are radical measures trying to flatten the curve here in australia, a country with more than 4000 cases of covid—19 and 18 deaths. phil mercer reporting. with everyone over 70 advised to stay indoors, coronavirus has meant a huge change in lifestyle for older people. among them is 94—year—old d—day veteran and fundraiser extraordinaire harry billinge. earlier this month he received

an mbe for the tens of thousands of pounds he's raised for a memorial to the british veterans who died in normandy. tim muffett‘s been in touch to see how he's getting on. d—day veteran harry billinge, mbe, has faced formidable enemies before. at 94 years old he's at home in cornwall, keeping coronavirus at bay. hey, harry, how are you doing? i'm feeling very, very well indeed. and i don't take any chances, i've been sitting in my armchair, i got the fire on and some light reading, i got a lovely hot bed with a blanket to get into, so i'm very comfortable and very grateful to everybody that's been very kind to me. normally, you are out fundraising. how hard are you finding it having to stay indoors? it's been very difficult because i felt a bit guilty. i ought to be out and about. that's about £35 there, harry.

i was very good at giving orders when i was in the army i was also very good at obeying orders. idon't mind. my mind is free, i can be anywhere. you've faced many enemies in your time. how do you rate coronavirus as an enemy? when there's evil, it's a very good thing to draw people together to realise we don't live just for ourselves, but for other people, and that's what i've tried to do all my life. kids eight years old, 12 years old, going out... if you're in isolation and want help, we'll fetch them. shopping or do anything for you. so everybody‘s marvellous, really, people are rallying around. it's like the war years, everybody mucked in, which is great. i know everyone on breakfast and all our viewers want to wish you all the very best. have you got a message for them?

don't get down, just keep going. remember the good days. remember, you've got a lot to be thankful for. you know, you won't get worried about living with yourself in your own home. if you can't live with yourself, you can't live with anybody. harry, thanks so much for talking to us. from all of us on breakfast, and i know, from all our viewers as well, the very best wishes and stay well. all the people from the bbc have been very kind to me personally, and i'd like to say a big thank you. thank you very much indeed. thank you. now that was upliftin, and so is this — it involves lifting weights and lifting spirits. in germany the lockdown measures have been extended to at least april 20 but one young man is making the most out of the glum situation.

freya cole explains. zwei, ein... meet pato cervantes, the 19—year—old fitness instructor in hamburg spreading good vibes when they're needed most. he lunges and stretches, from the street below, even when it's snowing. ready, ready? you don't need any special equipment for this gym class. the main idea is to keep active and happy while living in self—isolation. translation: i saw a wine party on a balcony and i thought, why wouldn't they do sport? if you start the day with sports, music and a good mood, it changes the atmosphere in the whole street. the message is simple — 30 minutes a day and it will help keep spirits high at a time when it's easy to feel down. moving together as a community to help pass the time. freya cole, bbc news.

we all have different ways to cope with the disruption that the coronavirus outbreak has brought to our lives. here's how people in vilnius in lithuania are dealing with being on lockdown. there pictures were taken by local photographer adas vasiliauskas when all his usual assignments got cancelled because of the virus. he asked people if he could take their picture by drone, and found people were creating beach parties, dressing up and going to great lengths to try and cheer themselves up while quarantined. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise. hello there. with apriljust around the corner it is a month often characterised by plenty of april showers. we have got that actually today. you can see by this picture sent in, the view captures this rainbow quite beautifully. most of the showers over the last

few hours have been in northern scotland and spilling in off north sea coasts. affecting most of eastern england but they are filtering a little further west. still under the influence of high pressure we had at the weekend. the winds not quite as strong as the weekend but are still coming from a cool—ish source. they are driving those showers in off north sea coasts. for the remainder of the afternoon, plenty of cloud developing. sunny spells will be fairly limited. and we'll continue to see some showers filtering that bit further westwards through the afternoon. the winds are not as strong as yesterday, but still coming from a north to north westerly direction. not a particularly warm source. temperatures struggling for the time of year. maximum values of nine to 11 degrees. overnight the winds will fall lighter still. the showers will ease away. we will start to get some clearer skies, particularly in the south—east of england. here, temperatures likely to fall away to low single

figures for a time. a little more cloud in the far north of scotland with a few isolated showers here. high pressure continues to drift its way slowly west. the isobars will open up so lighter winds perhaps for tuesday. although temperatures will not alter that much, it may feel a little bit better. for many it is still a case of lot of cloud around through the day. early morning sunshine will be masked over. temperatures peaking at similar values, nine to 11 degrees. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday we will start to see a subtle change with this weather front pushing into the far north—west. again, the winds will strengthen. gale force gusts in scotland. that will introduce some colder air to the north. the wind direction turning to more of a northerly. staying relatively mild across southern england for a time. as we go through the week it is a subtle change. some showers at times and often quite cloudy. that's it. take care.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the uk government insists it's ramping up testing for nhs workers — as doctors' leaders warn the shortage of tests has caused serious problems for the health service. we do need this extended to all staff. and certainly in general practice at the moment we are still waiting for testing, so i have lots of doctors contacting me every day saying they want to get back to work. formula one developers join scientists to develop new breathing equipment which can help keep patients out of intensive care. i sincerely think it may actually save many lives, by preventing patients from needing to go onto a ventilator, and again saving that vital resource for the very, very severely ill. easyjet grounds all its planes, as the aviation industry struggles
