this is bbc news. the headlines: donald trump has given more details about his intention to sign an executive order temporarily blocking immigration into the united states. the president says the restrictions — which will apply for 60 days to green card applicants — are to protect workers, from overseas competition after the lockdowns. the uk government remains under pressure for failing to supply enough personal protective equipment to hospitals and care homes. the health secretary has denied reports that they had refused to take part in a european union scheme, to secure supplies of essential equipment for political reasons. the un world food programme has issued a warning about the millions in regions of conflict who could starve because of the coronavirus outbreak. the agency estimates the number of people going hungry could double to more than 250 million. most are in countries already affected by conflict.

now with more than a third of the global population confined to their homes because of covid—19, here's martine croxall with stories of life in lockdown. hello, and welcome to this special programme on the world in lockdown. i'm martine croxall. we start this week in new york, one of the places the world hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak, notjust the city itself, but new york state has recorded more than 10,000 deaths from covid—19. anna and jango, who live in brooklyn, are engaged and were planning on going to venice to get married, but unfortunately, jango fell ill. here's what happened next.

clapping and cheering so, that's anna and jango‘s story of life in lockdown in new york. but for other couples, especially those in new relationships, the experience can be slightly bewildering. we asked three couples, including kellyn, who's been quarantining with

a man she's just met. what living circumstances look like for them during the lockdown? this is day 25 of living together. and we have known each other for 33 days. we had a conversation and decided that we both wanted to, like, take it slow. and then coronavirus happened. yeah! we have not killed each other yet! i currently am living with a guy i met on bumble after two dates. i was here in malaga, spain, i was supposed to go back to madrid, but it turned into a coronavirus hotspot. he was moving into a new apartment and i moved in with him. we were both in between places in london, so we decided the best place for us to be was... at my parents'. ..at his parents' house.

we've been seeing each other on, like, quite a casual basis. i really like her, and i want it to continue. while we both said that we wanted to take it slow, it's now going so slowly that it's not going at all. so, it's been very sunny today, and it's like 22 degrees. so we are out in the garden playing a game called finska which is i think is swedish. it's finnish. finnish? finnish. hohoho! i feel confident, still. not started well, this round, but, 1—1. we played it a lot when we were back in new zealand with my family, so it kind of makes me feel a little bit closer to them in a way. we've not really had any major problems. your incessant need to shop for "essentials". my parents still like you. yeah. so that's a good sign. they don't hate me yet. yeah. and his dad laughs at my jokes, so that helps! bells toll

we're building out the first month of a relationship that feels like the first three years of a relationship. spend our time like most people do. we go to the grocery, we cook food, we try to keep each other accountable for working out, but sometimes it seems that we are a bit more accountable on helping each open bottles of wine. drumming as soon as quarantine happened, we got stuck in this weird limbo place of like, not being in the relationship but we like, we're still messaging a lot and i can't see her at all, which sucks. there are some things that we do on our own. one of which is dance routine or exercise. just a normal weekend here. we decided to go for a walk because it's such a lovely day and stu's parents live really close to, like, the forest. which is nice, very different to london. we've got his parents in front of us and we're just lagging behind.

me and my brother watched some saturday morning cartoons, which is actually really nice. we don't normally get to do that because he's normally at uni. we are having some common fights that both of our parents who have been married for over 40 years can give us advice on how tojust get through things. and sometimes it involves biting your tongue, other times it involves setting new boundaries. so we're working on that, too. sending voice notes has been one of the loveliest things about it. obviously the challenges, like, i haven't physically seen herfor over a month. which is really sad. guys, what are we doing tonight? doing a football pub quiz. well, it's really nice to have his family unit. it definitely sort of sucks having my family so far away.

i don't know what's going to happen. i mean, having said that, we were also talking about going to berlin together, which i feel like is a very classic female—female relationship move. '0h, we're gonna take things slow, but also, let's go on a holiday!‘ a european island off the coast of estonia has been labelled by locals as corona island after being a hotspot for the virus and being placed into strict quarantine. the first covid—i9 cases on the island of saaremaa emerged a month ago after a sports event was held there with a team from italy. now health officials estimate that of the island's population has contracted the virus. gavin lee reports. no—one can leave for the mainland and no—one can come in. approximately one half of the island population is infected. the infection rate per capita is one of the highest in europe, if not in the world. what's it like to be on the corona island?

this is saaremaa, an island off the coast of estonia and about 33,000 people live there. what happened a month ago, a team from milan flew to play volleyball on the island and now it's the country's coronavirus hotspot. we can't get there. so some of the islanders filmed on their mobiles what it's like coping there now. so the covid—i9 infection situation here in saaremaa and kuressaare is quite serious. we might have 1,000 hospitalisations by april 20th. so we need help. in our hospital we have 147 beds. this is not enough for 1,000 patients. with the high number of cases, some patients are now being flown to the mainland for treatment. elsewhere on the island, people are adapting quickly. hundreds of companies are finding ways to survive online. hello, world. susan here from saaremaa. susan reinholm used to work in an office for a cooperative

selling the island's produce. now, she's delivering door—to—door. the pile of things you see behind there, these are the home deliveries that i have to go and deliver today. so, we are now in one of the neighbourhoods here, in kuressaare, saaremaa's capital, as we can say. and i'm waiting for our client to come downstairs and then i'll leave the groceries to her, safely without any contact. with all non—essential business shut, many of susan's friends lost work after the outbreak, but quickly found it elsewhere. and people adapt to change. for example, my hairdresser is now the one labelling the packages in a local meat factory and nobody is sitting at home and thinking that, ok, let's see what tomorrow brings. people are taking actions.

anu vares is part of the island's crisis centre. they're considering the next steps in a video conference. anu tells us they've been through isolation like this before. for the very first time since soviet occupation, people need permits to enter. but this time, it is because of our free will to protect our people and their health. it is difficult to tell how the coronavirus first came to the island. there were two volleyball matches with an italian team that brought together more than 1,000 local people, as well as visitors from the mainland, estonia. local officials also say a second big social gathering, this champagne festival, may have further quickened the spread. another islander, tarmo virki, films for us how

his home town has changed. in the background is the main square of kuressaare, which is usually buzzing around midday like now. today there are, of course, nobody. people are at their homes. they're working online. i'm a bit worried about the longer term implications, of course. and what i've seen so far, how the people are getting together to kind of work for the future of the island, i' m really, really positively surprised. the chinese city of wuhan, where the coronavirus pandemic originated, has lifted its 11—week quarantine as infections and deaths tail off. and as they emerge from lockdown, residents have been sharing the lessons they've learned from the outbreak.

a group of bikers from bodmin in cornwall in england have been helping vulnerable people by delivering essential shopping and medication to those who are stuck in their homes and can't make it to the shops. the idea began withjust

one man and his motorbike, but as demand grew, so did the number of willing volunteers. patrick clahane has more. travelling on cornwall‘s now empty roads, these bikers are on a mission. i'm kye, i work in the emergency services and iformed bodmin bikers. bodmin bikers is a delivery team for medication from doctor's surgeries to pharmacies. we're also a food delivery, so if you need your essentials — bread, milk. do you know what? we haven't had any had any pastie deliveries yet. the group don't charge for delivery and was set up to help vulnerable people stuck at home, unable to get essentials. we've been trying to self—isolate as much as possible and go out as little as possible. and sarah, my partner, she suffers quite badly with asthma as well. so, as a family, we'vejust, yeah — try to keep ourselves to ourselves as much as possible. and these gentlemen make it so much easier. it goes to show that in this community and, well, in cornwall in general people, do help each other as much as they can and do what they can for one another.

since starting just a couple of weeks ago, 18 people have now volunteered, including a chef, plumber and supermarket worker. i'm brandon, aka spider—man. i'm part of the bodmin bikers. people see us riding around, they wave at us and it was really nice to see — you know, to go out and make people happy and make them laugh and just give people some happiness while we're in this pandemic at the moment. the gang are a mix of ages, including one who's onlyjust got his bike licence. i'm dan, i'm 16 and i'm part of bodmin bikers. i think at this point, i've probably done everything — medication, food, essentials. even though they didn't know each other until recently, it seems they'll be riding together long after the lockdown. after this is all over, i think we are all gonna go on a ride out. i think we are one big family and we'll stick together, definitely. patrick clahane, bbc news, bodmin. finally, across the us,

the coronavirus has closed many schools for the rest of the academic year, meaning hundreds of thousands in their senior year are missing out on big events like their prom and graduation. but one student in indiana decided to use his video skills to give graduating seniors the opportunity to share a message with their peers. we arrived in this world after 9/11 happened. we will be graduating during a global pandemic. dear class of 2020. though this time sucks, and though it's awful, i think it's our duty to try to at least look on the bright side and recognise that we all have this special bond and love for each other that nobody else will ever have. dear class of 2020. i can't put on a mask and go help, you know, save lives.

but i can do this and lift some spirits during this dark time in our country. i never imagined it going this big. i looked at this as, like, one of those experiences i'll tell my kids and i'll live through it and i'll be fine. but these seniors, i mean, they got their last moments of high school taken away from them. we can look towards the memories that we will make in college. we've got this, guys. this is our year and we're going to make it the best year of our lives. this does not change the memories that we have already made that will last a lifetime. we all have different stories from around the country. this is a similarity we would never have predicted for the end of our high school careers. i made sure that i hit every box i kind of had set up in my mind, that the seniors would get something out of it, that the underclassmen would get something out of it, parents, grandparents, everyone in the spectrum can get something out of it, and i hope i did that.

i hope i did. through a hard year, and ending with coronavirus is not a really good match for a senior year. i want my fellow seniors to know that they are all loved. i wish each and every senior the best of luck wherever your future takes you. that's it for now. a reminder, you can always keep up to date with the bbc news website or get in touch with me on twitter at any time — i'm @martinebbc. thanks for watching. hello there. tuesday was another sunny but windy day for many parts of the country. there was some cloud for a while, actually, across cornwall, the channel islands, gave a couple millimetres of rain, and then in the sunshine along the west coast of wales, south coast of england, temperatures reached 21 celsius. and we had a lovely sunset across the southern parts of england, helped by a bit of high cloud that's coming in from continental europe. still actually a lot

of wet weather to come in the mediterranean, but our weather is dominated by that area of high pressure over scandinavia. not as many isobars on the chart for wednesday, the winds won't be quite as strong. but with a bit of a breeze overnight, these are the temperatures we are starting off with on wednesday morning. and, again, with lighter winds in the scottish glens, there may well be some frost around here. there may well be some mist and a low cloud affecting the southern uplands, onto the pennines and the welsh hills, but, again, that won't last long at all, it soon gets blown away. lots of sunshine on wednesday, a little bit hazy at times perhaps across more southern parts of the uk. but the winds won't to be quite a strong, it may well be a degree or two warmer. still a touch cooler along those north sea coasts, but as you head further west across the uk, those temperatures widely 20—21 degrees for england and wales. as we move into thursday, again, some mist and some low cloud to clear away early in the morning, same sort of areas. again, lots of sunshine around, that higher cloud is drifting a little bit further north by this stage.

the winds will be much lighter though on wednesday, everywhere. it will feel warmer as well. the temperatures will probably peek at maybe 25 degrees somewhere in 0xfordshire, berkshire or hampshire. that's probably going to be the peak of the temperatures on thursday. mind you, friday's not far behind, again, a few mist and fog patches to clear away very quickly in the morning. and then light winds again, lots of sunshine around too, and those temperatures still making 22—23 degrees across southern parts of england and wales. a little bit cooler across northern scotland, bit of a northerly breeze here. the weather is starting to change a bit over the weekend. pressure is going to be much lower, especially across scandinavia, but also across the uk as well, pressure is falling away. a very weak weather front coming into more northern parts of the uk. that may bring a few showers across scotland, mainly northern scotland, perhaps into northern ireland. 0n the whole, it is going to be dry over the weekend. a bit more cloud coming down the eastern side of the uk, temperatures beginning to slip away a little, highs of 19 or 20.

this is bbc news — my name's mike embley — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president trump brushes aside opposition to his temporary immigration ban. he insists it's to protect americans from the current economic crisis. by pausing immigration we will help put unemployed americans first in line forjobs as america reopens. this is what that crisis looks like in parts of new york, reeling from the pandemic, as long queues form for food. the uk government still under pressure for failing to supply enough personal protective equipment to hospitals and to care homes. dearly beloved, we are gathered together here...
