matches played behind closed doors. three us states allow some businesses to reopen as the number of deaths from coronovirus there tops 50,000. and — anzac day in the time of lockdown — people in australia and new zealand pay their respects on the annual day of remembrance to the war dead. now on bbc news, people from around the world document their experiences of life under lockdown in a series of thought provoking, funny and moving video diaries.

what is it like to be on the corona island? no one can leave for the mainland and no one can come in. approximately one half of the island's population is infected. the infection rate per capita is one of the highest in europe, if not in the world. the covid—i9 infection situation in saaremaa is quite serious. we might have 1000 hospitalisations by april 20. so, we need help in our hospital, we have 147 beds.

this is not enough for 1000 patients. hello world, susan here from saaremaa. the pile of things you see behind, these are the home deliveries that i have to go and deliver today. so, we are now in one of the neighbourhoods in kuressaare here, waiting for our clients to come downstairs and then we will leave the groceries to her safely, without any contact. 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, 0k, let's see what tomorrow brings, people are taking action. for the very first time since soviet occupation people need permits to enter. this time, it is because 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 1000 local people as well as visitors from the mainland estonia.

in the background is the main square of kuressaare. it is usually buzzing around midday, around now. today, there are of course nobody. people are at home. they are working online. i am a bit worried about the longer term implications of covid—19 and what i have seen so far, how people are getting together and doing work for the future of the island, i am really positively surprised.

they were a courageous band of people. they suffered great hardships travelling across the himalayas

and so we are going to put out an executive order today, new york state on pause. policies that assure

safety for everyone. remain indoors to the greatest extent to protect physical and mental health. stay indoors? alarm clock beeps how is quarantine going?

at times it gets boring. you miss yourfriends and going out to dinner or out to bars. a lot of the enthusiasm i approached early quarantine with his fader. i don't think i'm going stir crazy, not yet anyway. i've been trying to keep my mind sharp, which is so important. i've been doing lots of mental exercises, really high level stuff. duolinguo: yo quiero una camiseta. you know, when you start to get down in the dumps, you have to remember that we have a duty to uphold. and all we have been asked to do is stay at home. i would be lying if i said that

hasn't always been a dream of mine. be a couch potato, save the world. like if garfield was in the avengers. a wise man once said, i choose a lazy person to do a hard job every time, because the lazy person will find an easy way to do it. that was bill gates, so. so, if you need me, this is where i will be. saving the world. hello there, it has been a cool and misty start for many this morning and all of the mist and low cloud and all of the mist and low cloud and started to lift and will continue to break, we will see su btle continue to break, we will see subtle changes to this settled spell of weather we have had through the weekend. we already have some showers coming to the south—west, is

a mistand showers coming to the south—west, is a mist and fog around the coast, look how extensive the cloud is the east as well and so it is taking its time to lift and break, it is even thick enough to give some drizzle and we have seen some fog over the hills but hopefully most will enjoy some sunshine as we head into the afternoon, there are a few showers around and they could develop not just across the south—west but wales as well and possibly a few showers into the far north—west of scotland as well. near the coast, it will feel cool as it has done recently in the north coast of northern ireland colour than of late, but for many inland it will feel warmer again, not quite as warm as yesterday. 0ne thing that hasn't changed is the high level of tree pollen for many parts once again. let's pick up on those showers, the risk is with us not just for the south—west of england but wales, drifting eastward through the night and as low pressure approaches the western and northern isles, these showers will become more prevalent as well. on the whole, frost—free but it will feel chilly in a few spots, close to freezing in rural areas. the changes

that we're seeing to our weather are slow, very little wind around, this low pressure will bring in some chilly air and the fact that have little wind is the fact that we have all the misty low cloud as well this morning. tomorrow morning, some misty low cloud once again, low pressure into the northwest will bring heavier showers with the risk of hailand bring heavier showers with the risk of hail and thunder and showers developing across central parts of england and wales could also be thundery, still quite warm, that is what will trigger the heavy showers here but it will be notably cooler for scotland, northern ireland, four 01’ for scotland, northern ireland, four or5 for scotland, northern ireland, four or 5 degrees down on the temperatures today and that is because the air is coming right the way from the arctic and eventually, it will push further southwards so we still have that zone of showers with us on monday, still heavy showers in the north but we are also watching developments to the south as we progress into the first few days next week. still have the ones with us in the forfar south but call of of northern england and north wales by the time we get to monday and perhaps by tuesday a more definite spell of wet weather coming

in. but, as ever, plenty more 00:29:01,840 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 information on the website.
