the department of health says it is continuing to work closely with the sector. let's talk now to anita astle, manager of wren hall nursing home in nottinghamshire. over the easter weekend they lost their tenth resident of covid—19. this is bbc news with the latest headlines in total that's a third of their residents. i needed it is good of you to come onto the programme and talk to us about it. it must be very upsetting, i know and care homes older people do die but not in the circumstances. he set out the government's criteria for exit from the lockdown. first, he said it would require a "sustained and consistent fall no, it's been extremely traumatic. in deaths" and confidence that the health service could cope with a second peak. in the past 2a hours, the uk recorded another 861 coronavirus deaths in hospital, for staff and also for the families, taking the total to 13,729. meanwhile in the us, another 5.25 million americans have it's been horrendous in terms of the number of deaths and also the way that the deaths have happened. it's filed jobless claims this week. also been really sad that the families have not been able to be that means that since mid—march,

more than 20 million people have lost their jobs, with their loved ones in the same way they would normally be when the worst run on record. it comes as president trump says anybody else has died.|j he'll unveil his plan to reopen the economy later today. way they would normally be when anybody else has died. i imagine, is that because the residents go downhill very quickly? yes, the meanwhile, the head of the european commission, residents do go downhill really ursula von der leyen, has offered a "heartfelt apology" to italy for not doing enough quickly. and also normally when to help at the start someone quickly. and also normally when of its coronavirus outbreak. someone is dying you see a steady our first report on the situation decline, you can prepare the family here in the uk comes from our political editor, for it to the family can be around, laura kuenssberg. they can be a family unit, you know, the start of another day were you can have sons, daughters, looking out the windows in a way to husbands, wives, grandchildren all see outside. more time for fun for in the same room and altogether and rocco and bonnie. before saying goodbye, and celebrating somebody‘s life. that is not been but for their parents in wolverhampton, another 2a hours working, playing, caring and cooking the experience we have had this weekend it's been really soul all within the same four walls. destroying. how many infections you we've already done more than three currently have is yellow if weeks and i guess in some ways that

have been like an extended holiday. we have had the weather and played currently have is yellow if currently got 12 people in a lot in the garden. but my fears about more time are more for the isolation. 0ne currently got 12 people in isolation. one person came out of children. isolation. one person came out of isolation yesterday and sadly we had i guess there is a danger you could become quite worried about a death this morning. i'm sorry, 12, missing out on things. as the foreign secretary, out of how many? how many of you got in the place to be prime minister, confirmed today, there at the moment? normally we that time at home will be longer. the government has decided the current have 5a ladies and gents living with measures must remain us. have 5a ladies and gents living with place for at least us. and as you have said we've had the next three weeks. we have come too far and lost too many loved ones and have already today was our 11th death, but ten of sacrificed far too them are related to covid—19. much to ease up now. but we are now at both a delicate and dangerous stage in this today was our 11th death, but ten of them are related to covid-19. we we re them are related to covid-19. we were approaching half of the home pandemic. if we rush to relax the measures that has infection or has died for we have in place, we would infection. how difficult that for risk wasting all the sacrifices and all the progress that has been made. the staff? do you have enough and that would risk a quick return to another lockdown with all the protective equipment? do you have threat to life that enough of that and is that supply a second peak to the virus would bring and all the economic damage that a second lockdown would carry. you have been very clear about why in your view and sage's view it's not the time secure with got enough now because

but in other countries people have of the generosity of businesses, been told when and what to expect individuals and everybody has but from what you know now, is it rallied around but that has been more likely we are looking at since we have been in the media another three weeks or another three months? recently. before that we were we cannot give a definitive spending hours trying to source the timeframe, that would be to prejudge the evidence and that would be ppe. the mass is the problem, an irresponsible thing to do but the message to the public is there is light at the end of a tunnel and because that's not normally the were making progress. equipment that we use. and it's not if i start giving you artificial and arbitrary normally the equipment that our timeframes, it would be the irresponsible thing to do and i suppliers with stock. so that's the can't do that. thing that we have struggled with. in terms of the gloves and aprons we i want to play! life under lockdown is certainly a jug opened this family things have managed to source that. and the they are fortunate sharing child care and an office but the situation is tough costis for millions and dire for the have managed to source that. and the cost is expensive because i understand you are still paying vat economy. on it. the cost is expensive and labour pushing the government for a timetable at least of sorts. this is unscrupulous people out there that have hiked the prices. whilst i support the extension the surgical masks that we wear are normally between 30 and 60p of the lockdown, i do think the government needs to bring depending on the make of them and we forward the exit strategy to tell us the principles on which things are finding that care providers are are going to change in a few weeks' time. they need to do that because they being charged £2 75 for them. a huge need the trust of the public,

we are asking a lot of them, another three weeks and possibly more hike in cost and on top of that we of lockdown. but decisions have not been taken about how and when are paying vat. and what do you make restrictions will go and there are nerves about giving the public the wrong impression. of the level of support from the is likely to eat public health authorities here? and eventually step—by—step. when we do incrementally ease any of these restrictions, we must has been disappointing, i think. i consider what we need to do instead to keep the virus under control. for example, testing and surveillance, contact tracing and isolation think there's been guidance that's come out, but the guidance has not of people with symptoms. been consistent, it's left us asking but the progress of the disease flattening, moves towards lessening the limits of our lives are starting to be discussed but the questions it's been quite difficult pandemic will have an impact on all to decipher sometimes. and i think our lives beyond next week, next the most frustrating thing is we've month and perhaps next year. laura kuenssberg, bbc had to learn about this virus news, westminster. ourselves in isolation, and that's other 5.2 been quite tough alongside with the well, across a number of european countries, there appears to be light at the end loss that we have all felt. will we of the tunnel as some lockdown restrictions are being eased. are sending you our very best, in germany, shops of a certain size are set to open next week overstep was so pleased with you

with schools re—opening next month. have lost, i'm sure you're doing a but social distancing rules very good job in difficult will remain and angela merkel has circumstances. thanks for coming on recommended the use of face masks the programme. on public transport. in spain, some workers have returned to factory and construction jobs a review will take place into why people from black, as the rate of infections asian and minority ethnic backgrounds appear to be begins to slow. disproportionately affected by coronavirus. downing street said the nhs and public health but unlike other nations, children are still not allowed out of the house. england would take the lead in reviewing the evidence. and in italy bookshops, launderettes and children's clothes stores have reopened, on a trial basis in some regions. all of that puts more pressure on the uk government to explain how the lockdown might eventually be 150 people on board. eased, our science editor david shukman looks at the benefits the charter flight is one of several being organised after an appeal and the risks involved. failed to recruit enough british workers. it landed at stanstead airport this afternoon with around empty streets around the world. 150 people on board. images that are now for the first time since familiar, of lockdown. the pandemic began, medical regulators have approved a very blunt way to fight a new design for a mechanical the virus, but it is working. ventilator to help in some countries, they are are easing up. so what's involved in that? coronavirus patients breathe. the device will be built by a consortium of leading manufacturers — as well as a number of formula one teams. the uk government has ordered 15,000.

brazil has the highest number well, first, a key question. of confirmed cases in the southern is the daily death toll falling? hemisphere — according to official that's yet to happen figures, more than 1,500 have now here in the uk, so for the moment, died and the number of confirmed the lockdown continues. cases is around 23,000. belgium has also extended but minimal testing and a struggling its measures until losses are reduced day by day, health system mean the country and the world health organization could be massively underreporting the number of cases. is warning that any move this as brazil's president must be very careful. it is imperative that we do not let down our guard. jair bolsonaro continues complexity and uncertainty lie to disregard health advice over ahead, which means that the virus and is playing you are entering a period down its effects. where we may need to rapidly 0ur south america correspondent adjust measures, introduce katy watson reports from sao paulo. and remove restrictions, and ease restrictions gradually. so, how can the lockdown be relaxed laid to rest in difficult times. when that moment eventually comes? in spain, it wasjudged that construction work is safe enough grieving families have to bury to resume as a first step. their dead quickly and safely. grave—diggers are taking no risks in italy, it's small shops as the pandemic takes hold. like book shops that have for those left behind, been allowed to reopen. there is little comfort at a time while in denmark, schools are seeing pupils return. when it is needed the most. this was not sandra ever imagined each of these steps bring benefits, saying goodbye to his mother. but also comes with risk. maria died of suspected coronavirus, like so many and here in the uk we don't being buried here today. know how the government translation: i'm really sad

is planning to handle this. and worried about the situation. i think it's essential i wasn't taking it that the government begins to tackle the issue of fear in the population too seriously before. and restore confidence, because otherwise, the lockdown i didn't really believe it. strategy will fail, and that simply because people won't go along with it. i thought it was the media and keeping track of the virus and where it spreads is vital stirring things up. then, when it happened after measures are relaxed. to our family, we understood the severity of it. germany is highly praised latin america's biggest graveyard is getting busier, but they are bracing themselves for testing huge numbers of people, for the weeks ahead. something similar will have the peak isn't expected to happen here. until may orjune. the municipalities brought 5000 body in lichtenstein, they are planning bags, grave—digger manuel tells me. they have hired more people as well. to offer everyone a biometric this is as they get ready bracelet in a radical drive to track for the situation to get worse. workers here say they are digging the emergence of new cases. around 50% more graves and apps like this will be needed to keep track of people's contacts, to spot symptoms and isolate any new outbreaks. the challenge for any government than they normally would as more burials come through here, is to try and strike a balance and if the people who died between making sure that people do maintain social distancing are suspected covered 19, while offering a sense of light they are being buried, at the end of the tunnel. many of them, without getting and that bit of it is made all the harder by the growing official test results.

realisation that this families have to wait days won't be over soon. if not weeks for them, and there is a warning that some so that means the official numbers of deaths here is not an accurate restrictions will be needed representation of how many people have died. brazil's laboratories until next year as scientists trying have backlog of tens of thousands of cases to test. to predict the pandemic say that the country is also struggling to import sufficient quantities until a vaccine is ready to create of ingredients for testing immunity to the virus, as the whole world competes for supplies to tackle the pandemic. some social distancing will have to continue to keep people safe. see is the tip of the iceberg, david shukman, bbc news. because at the moment in brazil, we are testing only the patients that go to hospital and then stay there, so we know only the more severe cases, but we don't know exactly altogether since mid—march the us how the virus is still has lost more than 20 million jobs. elating in the population. president trump is due to announce guidelines tonight to try and experts fear that, with a president that continues to flout health guidelines, people will stop heeding advice such as social distancing. but this is a time when the country needs it the most. translation: people ask me when are we going to reach the top, figure unfortunately no, it's when people can relax. obviously going to get higher, the but anyone even guessing has been hasty, because we cannot estimate numbers are just extraordinary. how the curve is going up. where seeing the dark side of the

flexibility of the labour market we imagine you are climbing a mountain and you can see the peak, hire people in droves and and that is why it is important u nfortu nately we hire people in droves and to look at the rise. unfortunately we fire people in d roves. unfortunately we fire people in droves. extraordinary enough people will it be similar to the us, italy? get laid off. there is the hope to we don't know, not be rehired particular as the firms with the data available. but the burials don't stop, think want to receive any assistance and neither does the heartache stop behind the statistics, that's a plus. but unfortunately, we family numbers are lost, with loved ones wanting answers lockdown the us economy without having a plan about getting it back on his feet. we are only dealing as to how they died. with that issue. a small business on which they put in place is running tonight hundreds of thousands of people will once again dry. with that issue. a small business on which they put in place is running dry. 0f which they put in place is running dry. of course this is a critical open their windows or stand time when small, medium size on the streets to applaud our carers businesses need that funding. is and key workers all over the uk. there a danger that a liquidity problem turns into in insolvency problem turns into in insolvency problem for a lot of these this pandemic has confronted nhs businesses? absolutely. the point to workers at all levels with an extraordinary challenge. be made monetary policy can deal with the issue of liquidity but it so far some 27 nhs staff have died from coronavirus, according to government figures. can't really deal with insolvency fergal keane — and that is precisely the issue. if they don't get the money and we and cameraman tony fallshaw — have been spending time with some don't provide them with a bridge to of the teams fighting the virus at imperial college a better place, most of these firms don't have money to last more than healthcare in london.

their report begins somewhere between a month or two at charing cross hospital. doctor ali sanders is months. after two months they fighting a disease that has killed colleagues. basically are shutting down and it's everywhere, you are reminded shutting down now because they can't wait that long. what do you say when you are cycling down an empty road that everyone is in lockdown about the presidents plans at the and it is infectious moment to try and reopen parts of the economy in the first part of and we are coming to work. may. i know there's been parts of we are not locked in our homes, isolating from it. we put some new signs pushback from senior business leaders. like when you look at the of to give a bit of clarity numbers i can understand why he to exactly what need to wear on red wa nts to numbers i can understand why he wants to get for back to some form and super red? of normality as quickly as possible. ali leads emergency teams i have a tremendous sympathy for at charing cross and st marys, what the president is trying to do. two of the five london hospitals run he said in one of his tweets has a by imperial college health care. strong grain of truth, that we don't wa nt to strong grain of truth, that we don't want to cure it to be worse than the the team is now briefed for the day ahead and what really strikes disease. and the worry is that you here is the sense of calm u nless we disease. and the worry is that unless we get the economy back and working more people are going to run and of common purpose. into health problems from other they are two vital things factors meaning being unemployed and the like then they will be from the as the staff face this pandemic. virus. this is not to downplay the this is the resuscitation unit needed by some patients arriving virus. this is not to downplay the with covid symptoms. virus at all, just to say that scientists cannot make the only they are treated by in staff decisions about this. they need to

have a blend of precision making and full protective gear. movement is careful. science about when‘s the right time to reopen. it's like the presidents words are soft—spoken. part of an essential gentleness trying to hard to think of the right for patients who can't date but it may still be too soon to have relatives with them be early may. meanwhile new york has in this protected zone. to have an infection that goes through the entire spectrum of age, that has limited treatment options, and takes out people who are largely otherwise well, extended its lockdown until mid—may. and the states governor andrew cuomo with no particular rhyme or reason is quite hard. has had eve ryo ne everyone must now wear a mask on public transport. he did also say that social distancing measures have succeeded in slowing down the viruses reproduction every hour, the staff rate but cautioned against relaxing disinfect their working area. premature... new york has worked, imperial college health care has adequate supplies of ppe that's how we controlled the beast but even so, there must that's how we controlled the beast that's how we got it down to .9. be constant vigilance. how do you deal with the anxiety? however, we are not there yet. we're just at .9. and wuhan got down to i think it is... .3. so we have to continue doing what we have to continue doing what we're doing, i'd like to see that infection rate get down even more. take one day at a time. if you try to think about the whole the new york pause policies, the close—down policies will be extended situation, it's too much.

there has been a massive in coordination with other states reorganisation of staff until may 15. as the hospitals have gone from 68 to 143 critical care beds, the head of the european commission, with the potential for 300. ursula von der leyen, has said europe owes italy a heartfelt apology it takes many to wage this struggle. for failing to offer enough support at the beginning from the cleaner, raj, of the coronavirus epidemic there. at charing cross, to the clinical trials manager, serge, italy was the first european country to suffer a serious outbreak and has who has become a ward recorded more deaths than any other assistant at st marys. nation bar the united states. matron dolores, who spent a0 years in nursing, yes it is true that no one was and wanted to pass this message really ready for this. it is also to the public. true that too many were not there on stay at home. and not put our resources under more stress than they are time when italy needed a helping because we don't want this hand at the very beginning. and yes, spreading, it's quite simple. for that it is right that europe as for staff, it's deeply personal. three colleagues have died a whole offers a heartfelt apology. since the crisis began. but saying sorry only counts for the latest was 60—year—old nurse melujean ballesteros, from the philippines, a mother of two and one of 18,000 filipinos working for the nhs. something if it changes behavior. of course there is still some who want to point fingers and deflect blame and there are others who would

rather talk like populist then tell st marys is 175 years old and sacrifice is part of history here. staff fell in both world wars. unpopular truths. to this i say stop it. stop and have the courage to tell the truth. have the courage to but in the spring of 2020, stand up for you. because this union it is in critical care units like this that staff willingly face a potentially lethal virus. we were invited to see of ours will get us through. the work of the cpap unit, where air is applied through a mask let's get some of the day's other news. the international monetary fund has to help breathing. advised the uk and the eu "not to add to uncertainty" it can help some patients, not all. from coronavirus by refusing to extend the period to negotiate a post—brexit trade deal. but the british prime minster‘s spokesman said the uk would not ask for an extension and would say no if the eu asked to lenghten so medications or equipment. the transition period past staff communicate with the outside by video link. the ward is specially ventilated to create what is called negative pressure that stops december the 31st this year. any contamination escaping. in france the viruses claimed a hong kong born doctor leads the team. another 753 laws but in a sign that how do you feel for the patients? the lockdown put in place a month ago is working number of hospital they are isolated, they don't has now declined for a second day have people with them, they can't even hear us properly. running. i think it is a really scary time
