in his traditional easter vigil in an almost deserted st peter's basilica . and the legendary british motor racing driver, sir stirling moss, has died aged 90. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. we're covering all the latest coronavirus developments here in britain and globally. the number of people who've died in the uk from coronavirus, has passed 10,000. the health secretary, matt hancock, said this is a sombre day, that reinforced why the public must adhere to social distancing rules. it comes after one of the government's senior scientific advisers said the uk could become the worst—affected country in europe.

737 people died in hospital in the uk in the last day, bringing the total to 10,612. but that number doesn't include deaths in care homes or in the community. in other developments, the british prime minister boris johnson was discharged from hospital after being treated for coronavirus. he will not immediately return to work. italy has reported its lowest number of virus deaths in over three weeks. a31 new deaths were reported today. and the us coronavirus death toll is now the world's highest. more than 21,000 people have died there. we'll get reports from around the world shortly, first let's hear from our science correspondent david shukman. a painful story with every loss. sara trollope was a matron on a psychiatric ward in hillingdon in north—west london when a patient developed symptoms and by the time she was given protective equipment it was too late, leaving herfamily, like so many, totally shocked. stop seeing your family. stop meeting up. because when this is over,

you can meet up with your family, yourfriends. you can give them a kiss, you can give them a hug and tell them you love them. when this is over, we can't say goodbye. with so many losing their lives and the death toll rising, questions are raised about the uk's handling of the crisis, with this warning from one of the government's own advisers. i do hope we are coming close to the number of new infections reducing and in a week or two, the number of people needing hospital reducing, and tragically in a couple of weeks' time, the number of deaths plateauing and then starting to come down. but, yes, the uk is likely to be certainly one of the worst if not the worst—affected country in europe. what is your reaction to the comments of one of your own advisers, sirjeremy farrar, that the uk may be on course for the worst outcome in terms of death toll in europe? i think that sort of comment merely reinforces the importance

of the central message, which is that people should stay at home, because that protects the nhs and saves lives. we get advice from all sorts of experts and we take it all very seriously. and we assess it throughout. still a source of concern is the lack of personal protective equipment, ppe, not just for hospital staff but for anyone having to work closely with others. gowns in particular are in short supply. some hospitals fearing that they will run out, exposing medical staff to even more danger. there are a number of our members who are saying they are now critically short of gowns. so what's been happening over the last 72 hours is the entire nhs has mobilised to solve that problem. the government is under constant pressure over this and will not commit to a date when it will be sorted. it's impossible because the quest is to get the right ppe to the right

people on the front line at the right time across many millions of people across the nhs and social care. one of many shocking aspects of this daily death toll is we knew it was coming because, three or four weeks ago, the virus was spreading so fast. since then, the rate of infection seems to have fallen because of social distancing, but we haven't seen the benefits of that yet in terms of reducing the numbers dying. and today, at such a grim milestone, a poignant and powerful message from the sister of sara trollope. for me, stay at home, don't let my sister and all the other nhs staff and all the people that have died from this virus, don't let their deaths be in vain. stay at home. david shukman, bbc news. borisjohnson has thanked nhs staff after being discharged from st thomas' hospital, where he spent a week being treated for covid—19.

in a video message, the prime minister said there was no question the nhs saved his life. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright has that story. boris johnson returned home to chequers, weary but relieved, and very grateful. i have today left hospital after a week in which the nhs has saved my life, no question. we will win because our nhs is the beating heart of this country. it is the best of this country. it is unconquerable, it is powered by love. so thank you from me, from all of us, to the nhs. in the video posted by number ten, mrjohnson reflected on his time at st thomas' hospital in london. the prime minister was hit hard by the coronavirus after being diagnosed at the end of march. he isolated himself in downing street and continued to work but struggled

to overcome his symptoms. he spent three nights in intensive care and things could have gone either way, mrjohnson said today. he named two nurses in particular who had been by his bedside. they're jenny from new zealand, invercargill — on the south island, to be exact. and luis from portugal, near porto. and the reason in the end my body did start to get enough oxygen was because, for every second of the night, they were watching and they were thinking and they were caring and making the interventions i needed. downing street's other inhabitants wait for borisjohnson to get back, but his full return to work could still be weeks away. ben wright, bbc news. dr alison pittard is dean of the faculty of intensive care medicine in the uk — that's the professional body responsible for training doctors in this field.

i asked her what interventions the nurses treating borisjohnson could have carried out. well, as the prime minister said, he appreciated the highly skilled, multi—professional team that was there looking after him, 2a hours a day and they will have been there by his bedside, looking at the continuous monitoring that will have been received by patients in intensive care, writing all that, documenting all those parameters down and making sure that, if there was any change, that there was an immediate response to that. so they will have been using all of their skills as part of the team to make sure that the highest quality of ca re sure that the highest quality of care was delivered to him. how long might it take a patient who has been in intensive care, like the prime minister, to fully recover from this new illness? so, it really depends on the previous health status of the patient before they became critically ill. it also depends on how long they were in the intensive

ca re how long they were in the intensive care unitand how long they were in the intensive care unit and what sort of treatment that they received. and at the recovery is very variable, depending on those things. and so, although a patient is well enough to go home, there is often a requirement for ongoing support and, in fact, the faculty of intensive care medicine is currently looking at producing guidance for making sure people like the prime minister get the support that they need, so they can get back to the previous quality of life that they had. how might he and other recovered patients be able to tell if they now have any kind of lasting immunity from coronavirus?” if they now have any kind of lasting immunity from coronavirus? i don't think there is any way of telling that at the moment, because it is such a new virus, we are obviously looking at various ways to try and find out more as to how we can treated and whether there will be lifelong immunity, but it is really important not to take things for granted, and even more important that the publicly sent to the government advice about social

distancing, because that is obviously having an effect —— listen to the government advice. it shows that every single person in this country can have an impact on saving lives and helping the nhs. in that video, i was struck by the number of people the prime minister named, many, people the prime minister named, any people the prime minister named, many, many nurses and doctors, he couldn't remember all of their names. is that representative of how many people it takes to look after a single patient in intensive care?m is, it is a highly skilled, multi—professional team that looks after a patient and that it is why —— that is why it is important that, after the pandemic is over, that we have a review of critical care in england to make sure we have enough beds and enough staff to safely look after patients in critical care. dr alison pittard. the united states has now overtaken italy as the country with the highest death toll from coronavirus in the world. more than 21,000 people have now died in the us after being diagnised with coronavirus. the state of new york state alone had 758 coronavirus related deaths in the past 2a hours.

the state's governor andrew cuomo described the figures as ‘horrific‘ but pointed to a stabilisation in the number of new deaths. you see also a flattening in the number of lives lost at a terribly high rate, but if you look back over the past several days, you see there is a certain continuity to that number. again, that's the one number that i look forward to seeing drop, as soon as i open my eyes in the morning. and it has been flattening, but flattening at a terribly high level. in spain, another 619 people would coronavirus have died. the rise comes after spain recorded its lowest increase in deaths yesterday. the country, one of the worst hit by the pandemic, has now recorded just under 17,000 deaths associated with covid—19. guy hedgecoe gave us the latest from madrid.

it is very disheartening, this figure today, 690 more deaths. today, 619 more deaths. that is over 100 more than are registered yesterday, which you mentioned, was a relatively low figure yesterday — it was the lowest since march 23 and i think there are a lot of people thinking that perhaps a major corner had been turned yesterday. there are some statistical reasons that might be somehow distorting these figures at the moment and that is possible because of the easter holidays. it might be delaying how local authorities are reporting the figures. i think there has always been a suspicion that the figures over this easter holiday might not be entirely reliable. i think tomorrow we will get a much clearer idea as to the real situation regarding the deaths and if you look at the number of new infections, they have come down again today, tojust over 4000. so, overall, the feeling is that the overall trend, the overall trajectory is still encouraging, but the figures today

are rather worrying. the headlines on bbc news... the number of people who have died from coronavirus in the uk has passed 10,000. the health secretary calls it a sombre day. borisjohnson has thanked nhs staff after being discharged from st thomas hospital in london, where he was treated for covid—19. the us overtakes italy with the highest number of deaths from coronavirus in the world. more than 20,000 people have now died there. sport and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. we will start with the man regarded as one of the greatest formula one drivers of all time. tributes are being paid to the british motor racing legend sir stirling moss, who has died at the age of 90 following a long illness. he won 16 of the 66 f1 races he competed in from 1951 to

1961, becoming the first british driver to win a home grand prix in 1955 at aintree, but the world championship eluded him. the former f1 champion damon hill has been telling me so sterling was one of the most talented drivers the sport has ever seen. —— said stirling moss was. i think he was a pure seat of the pants driver who threw himself and relied on his instincts. he was very, very aware of what he was doing as a driver. he was in an incredibly dangerous period of racing and he somehow managed to work out the risk reward ratio somehow and knew he had to survive but, at the same time, was prepared to ta ke but, at the same time, was prepared to take quite big risks. you know, it is almost inconceivably dangerous now, when we look back at that era, what he used to do and what he was expected to do. but he was quite young, i think it was 25, or something, so perhaps he didn't have

so something, so perhaps he didn't have so much fear because he was young. he was very much patriotic, a patriotic driver and sportsman and i think you believed in those corinthian values and wanted to take pa rt corinthian values and wanted to take part honourably and it was about how you conducted yourself as much as where you finish. clearly a man who loved racing, he continued to race in historic cars, legends and events into his 80s and continue to inspire today's drivers like lewis hamilton. what will be his legacy?|j today's drivers like lewis hamilton. what will be his legacy? i think his legacy is that he was a living legend after he had retired. he was a legend in his grand prix career as well, so he became, i think, the icon, the poster boy, if you like, for british grand prix drivers right from the very beginning, the post—war period of motor racing. and i think he launched all of the other careers of british racing drivers who went on to become world

champions, which he sadly was denied but i think no one ever regarded him as anything less than one of the greats. damon hill speaking to me earlier. some more sad news to bring you, i'm afraid. the former chelsea and england goalkeeper peter bonetti has died at the age of 78 after a long illness. he played 729 times for chelsea, the second most appearances of any player for the club, as well as seven caps for england, including at the 1970 world cup in the quarterfinal defeat to west germany. scottish professional football league has been accused of underhand tactics around its vote to end their season. hearts, who are bottom of the scottish premiership, say the sp fl tried to unduly influence the outcome of the vote by insisting the resolution had to be past in order to release funds to clubs. hard to say they will now propose a temporary restructuring of the leagues to say no club will be financially penalised —— hearts say.

there could be a change at the top of world rugby after the vice chairman said he will run against chairman said he will run against chairman bill beaumont. former england captain beaumont has been in charge for the last four years. his re—election in may was expected to bea re—election in may was expected to be a formality but the argentinian who has worked alongside him all that time has decided to himself forward. finally, virtual racing was all the motogp riders could do on sunday but it was still, it is safe to say, pretty competitive. there was some misfortune, the seven time champion valentino rossi in race two suffered a crash attempting an overtake on the final lap. luckily, he managed to see the funny side of things. bagnaya was the eventual winner. that is all of the sport for now. the coronavirus crisis has created conditions where entire families

are sheltering at home, often in close quarters. anxiety and worries about health, education and finances are high. charities across the world, particularly in the us, uk and india, have warned that the pandemic has created the conditions for a rise in child abuse that could go unchecked. i'm joined by nina agrawal, child abuse paediatrician and assistant professor of paediatrics at columbia university medical centre in new york, and stephen kavanagh, interpol‘s executive director of policing he's in lyon in france. nina agrawal, what kind of extra risks do some vulnerable children face in this crisis? thank you very much for having me today to talk about this very important issue. there are three problems that i see that the covid—19 pandemic has created that are serious in causing an increase in child abuse and one

isa an increase in child abuse and one is a perfect storm, in that everybody is stressed, everybody is isolated. people that are already struggling to make ends meet are now having to put food on the table three times a day, to educate their children, to pay their rent, so they are already stressed and, on top of that, there are added stresses on them. and what does that mean? they could take it out on their kids. what does it mean for children? the ones who are most vulnerable will suffer the most. we will bring in stephen cavanagh. suffer the most. we will bring in stephen cava nagh. doctor suffer the most. we will bring in stephen cavanagh. doctor nina agrawal was talking about the threat children might face inside their own homes and you are looking at the threat to children might face when they logon online. i don't think you can exclude the two, the circumstances that have taken place since the coronavirus, public protection measures have been brought in which means that those who may have travelled or taken out

their strange sexual once elsewhere are now locked down. we also need to remember that there are far more children going online, many of them unsupervised and you have this combination of children being locked indoors, experimenting online and re ce nt indoors, experimenting online and recent work by the national crime agency in the uk has shown, at any one time, 750,000 individuals looking for some type of sexual contact with children online and, at the same time, two thirds of sexual abuse takes place within the family, so abuse takes place within the family, so this is a particularly dangerous time and a very important time for academia, law enforcement and industries to work together. that figure of 750,000 is an astonishing number. what kind of steps are the authorities trying to cake it in this particular crisis? -- trying to take? this particular crisis? -- trying to take ? we this particular crisis? -- trying to take? we are trying to reduce

duplication. this child abuse taking place online is a global crime and a global perspective is desperately needed if we are going to overcome it. interpol combines using its child abuse database, looking at images, trying to safeguard children, trying to use operations but it is more than that, it is how do we connect with industry? how do we connect governments to bring a greater level of consistency in a way that we address this scourge thatis way that we address this scourge that is child abuse online? 0ne way that we address this scourge that is child abuse online? one of the most exciting developments is the most exciting developments is the global alliance which has looked at the global threat assessment, because countries can't deal with this on their own, it has got to be looked at as a global challenge in bringing bodies together might start to turn the tide. dr agrawal, in new york, you have written about the risk that children might face from their own families, in some cases. in normal times, of course, teachers would be that extra eye on these children to look out for danger. how can these families get by, how can

these children go by now that teachers can no longer look in on them? well, yes, teachers and schools are a primary safety net and we have lost that. they are watchful eyes on children when they show signs of physical or sexual abuse. so what we can do is we need to create a stronger safety net for children, notjust for create a stronger safety net for children, not just for now create a stronger safety net for children, notjust for now but that will remain in place after the pandemic. we all need to be vigilant, we can all report sexual abuse, report physical abuse. we all need to check in on our families, especially high—risk families and high—risk children, ask them how they are doing, recognise signs of distress, offer help and offer the child helpline. children need to know they are not alone and can access help if they feel they are in danger. older children, dr agrawal, might be able to call and e—mail. we talked about what might happen online with stephen cavanagh but what about those younger children who ride the, let's say, under the age of seven, who might be

vulnerable and might not be able to call someone outside of their own house —— younger children who might be. you are right, the younger children are the most vulnerable to abuse, physically abuse, especially under three, so what we need to do as communities, we need to check in on the most high—risk families. the risk factors are families with domestic violence, mental health problems, substance abuse. we have seen a surge problems, substance abuse. we have seen a surge in domestic violence. we have seen it throughout the world. we saw it in china, we are seeing it in the united states. where there is domestic violence, there is child abuse, so when we are getting calls for domestic violence, we need to recognise that there are children in the home and we need to think about how we can access those children and protect those children. dr agrawal and stephen cavanagh, thank you both very much forjoining us. christians around the world are celebrating easter despite restrictions that have left

many people confined to their homes. the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, recorded his traditional easter address online from his kitchen while pope francis held the traditional easter vigil in an almost deserted st peter's basilica, as our religion editor martin bashir reports. in rome, pope francis delivered his annual easter message in chastened and starkly different circumstances to those normally associated with the joy of easter sunday. no flowers around the basilica, no pilgrims in the square. and the context of the coronavirus pandemic clearly shaped the content of his message. translation: this is not a time for self—centredness, because the challenge we are facing is shared by all without distinguishing between persons. after the second world war, this beloved continent was able

to rise again thanks to a concrete spirit of solidarity. it is more important than ever, especially in the present circumstances, that these rivalries do not regain force. in bergamo, the worst—hit province in italy, the church of the blessed redeemer livestreamed its service to a parish where more than 150 have lost their lives. after so much suffering... the leader of the anglican church, archbishop justin welby, who normally preaches from canterbury cathedral, delivered his easter message from a kitchen table at lambeth palace. he said the country should use this pandemic to change direction. we cannot be content to go back to what was before as if all was normal. there needs to be a resurrection of our common life, a new normal,

something that links to the old but is different and more beautiful. the number of people known to have been infected across the planet after contracting coronavirus has now topped 1.8 million. the number of deaths are still being counted. our special correspondent, allan little, looks at the stories of some of those who've lost their lives.. they are a cross—section of modern britain in all its diversity. they remind us none of us is beyond the reach of the worst the virus can do. health care workers have begun treating and mourning their own colleagues. doctor edmond adedeji worked in emergency medicine in swindon. he was 62. his family said he died doing thejob he loved, serving others before himself. not all the key workers

we depend on are in the nhs. 36—year—old meks nyack ihenacho drove a number 4 london bus and was asthmatic. he was an absolute charming, charming boy, man, who loved his family. it's notjust the elderly. luca di nicola from italy was 19. he was judged too young to be at risk and tested positive for covid—19 only after he died. emma clarke taught science in runcorn in cheshire. she was 35. her school said she was much loved and gifted, a brilliant teacher and very popular with her pupils. ryan storrie from ayrshire had been working in dubai. he had come home to celebrate his 40th birthday. he died after telling his wife he did not want to go to hospital where he would be alone. maria lawrence ran a market stall and a local charity in derby.

she launched a scheme to help people who were alone at christmas. she was 48. her sons said she was full ofjoy. everyone knew of her but she never wanted to be in the spotlight. a genuine angel working for the greater good. she's left a widespread legacy of selflessness, kindness and happiness. she ran charity schemes, protected the elderly and vulnerable, and made sure every single person smiled. kevin rowson worked on matchday security for nottingham forest football club. one player said, we have lost a true gentleman, a legend in his kindness and humility. carol jamabo was 56 and a mother of two. she worked caring for the elderly in greater manchester. another of the key workers placing themselves in harm's way to help meet the needs of the vulnerable. gino renoldi was the landlord of the railway tavern in stanford—le—hope in essex. a gentleman and legend. the place will never be the same without him, just some of the things

posted on social media. he ran this pub for 20 years with a smile on his face and only recently did he realise his dream of opening his own restaurant where he served with great care, kindness and pride. marita edwards was a fit 80—year—old. she was the first person to die after contracting covid—19 in hospital. she'd been admitted to the royal gwent in newport for a routine operation. pooja sharma was another key worker, a pharmacist at eastbourne district hospital. she was 33. herfather, sudhir sharma, an immigration officer at heathrow airport, died the day before her. one of pooja's friends posted this online. please, please, please, inform family and friends to take this very seriously and to self—isolate and socially distance as much as possible. allan little, bbc news. the individual stories behind the
