programme, why scientists are increasingly focused on tracking down the so—called super spreaders of the virus. fewer than 300 people have died in south korea from covid—i9 while daily case numbers remain under 50. how has the country managed to keep number so low? also, don't forget you can find the latest updates on the pandemic on our website. but first, this week, gyms and bars reopened in several german towns and cities as the country continues to relax restrictions. germany has gained international recognition for the way it is brought to the coronavirus outbreak under control, but there are now fears that it may be moving too quickly. the bbc‘s berlin correspondent reports from dusseldorf. it's going to be a painful recovery. dusseldorf‘s gym is open again as germany relaxes most of its coronavirus restrictions. i am torn. most of its coronavirus restrictions. lam torn. ienjoy most of its coronavirus restrictions. i am torn. i enjoy the new freedoms but at the same time

i'm a bit scared. maybe it was too early. generally's cautious approach relaxing now. angela merkel continued to warn repeatedly that this country is still in the early stages of the pandemic. 0n this country is still in the early stages of the pandemic. on a day like this, it is hard to believe it. germany has brought its outbreak under control but there is now an intense public debate about what happens next. this country can still boast lower infection rates, but it is early days. yes, i think it is too soonjust now, we are easing up too soonjust now, we are easing up too fast, we are easing up too much so we too fast, we are easing up too much so we risk a second wave and i don't really understand why this has been done so quickly because still, more than 80% of the population stand behind the federal agreements. small but valuable, a minority demanded angela merkel left restrictions. so, more significantly, did generally‘s regional leaders. like this man who

isa regional leaders. like this man who is a leading candidate to replace next year. we have a health problem of the pandemic, but there is other damage. children from disadvantaged backgrounds who couldn't go to school, sick people who didn't get treatment the hospitals were reserved for covid—19. people in ca re reserved for covid—19. people in care homes were lonely. this is damage as well and it is claimed lives. 0r nothing to do then with raising his political profile? the measures we had to decide are so important, a matter of life or death, you can't act on a tactical basis. katarina is not impressed, though the relaxations mean she has seen herfamily though the relaxations mean she has seen her family for the first time in weeks. i am very sceptical, very sceptical. it is like tipping over a sack of potatoes. this country, praise worldwide for its initial success feels rather fragile now. in

mexico, the government has also begun to reopen its economy, with a number of industries permitted to return to work this week. but, the country has one of the lowest levels of testing in the americas. some scientists say that the decision has been taken too early. more than 10,000 people have died in mexico from covid—19. bbc mexico correspondent will grant reports. officially, mexico has lost 10,000 people to coronavirus. one of them was a man who succumbed to the virus in his impoverished town. his funeral was simple. the indigenous community marking another life lost to covid—19. mexico's pour being buried beneath the dusty earth in their drones. but the true number of dead may be far higher. mexico's testing rate is among the lowest in latin america. fewer than one in 1000 are tested for covid—19. the

policy is only to test the most severe cases, but it is causing confusion and distress for family members. my boy is here with pneumonia outside this hospital in acapulco. but we have no information 01’ acapulco. but we have no information or documents that prove he was tested for covid—19, no way of knowing what he has. what is clear is that mexicans are dying at an alarming rate. across the country, funeral homes struggled to cope and cemeteries are filling up fast. despite it all, mexico is reopening for business. from automobile factories to bike shops, workers are heading back. the president has even embarked on a national tour. he remains defiant, but his response has been criticised as badly misjudged. even without widespread testing, it is obvious the crisis is farfrom over in mexico. here,

family members get words of love and support to the hospitalised love ones anyway they can. they urge them to get well, to fight off the virus, to get well, to fight off the virus, to come home soon. because they know the alternative could look like this. a socially distant funeral, a memorial service reduced to a drive—through, mourners not leaving their cars to pay their respects. the government insists it has passed, but with testing still so scarce, many fear the worst is yet to come. now, for the past few weeks the bbc has had unprecedented access to one of the hospital's hardest hit by the coronavirus in britain. that is the royal london hospital in east london. clive myrie has been looking at how the nhs in england is trying to adapt to the new reality of a virus that, at the moment, has no cure or vaccine and the continuing grief of those in the local community who have been worst affected. you make may find some of the scenes in his report upsetting.

this is the story of one hospital and one community. in the time of covid—19. their harmony in the face ofan covid—19. their harmony in the face of an almighty challenge. what does the future hold for the men and women in and out of uniform? and can the nhs adapted to a new normal way of working? with a virus that could be here to stay. we were given unprecedented access to the covid—19 wards of the royal london hospital and east end. we had permission from all the patients and their families to film. go go go. we watch the agonising attacks. lets call the

family. to save this man who was just 55. and we spoke with a nurse, the only person by his side as he slipped away. ijust sat on a chair and held his hand to be with him in that time. he was a proud father of four sons, including this man here on his graduation day. he wanted to speak to us about his dad. on his graduation day. he wanted to speak to us about his dadlj on his graduation day. he wanted to speak to us about his dad. i only got married last year, so it has been one year and a bit, so yeah, i guess that was... again, you know, none of us would have thought this time last year, in all that happiness, that something like this would have happened actually so, i have to try and move on. i think thatis have to try and move on. i think that is going to be the hardest thing for the first few weeks and

months. he was only two and a half weeks shy of his 56th birthday, so he didn't even make it to that. but trevor smith has lived to see another summer. his 65th. trevor smith has lived to see anothersummer. his 65th. his trevor smith has lived to see another summer. his 65th. his voice box is no longer silent. for weeks, his life hung from a plastic tube, inserted into his throat, to provide the supply of oxygen his body needed that covid—19 had choked off. the supply of oxygen his body needed that covid-19 had choked off. you can't breathe properly.

trevor survived after being in the deepest and darkest of places. now the sun is shining. but when will the sun is shining. but when will the sunshine for us as a nation? when can our collective morning begin? all the deaths of so far been wrapped up in charts and graphs, close to 40,000 dead. the veteran co nsulta nt close to 40,000 dead. the veteran consultant trauma surgeon martin griffiths, it is the humanity of the nhs in this pandemic that is now attracting scores of new recruits. people are running towards it, medical students are running towards hospitals to become health care support workers and start their training early. we had to turn

people down who want to commit to support the effort and there was kindness everywhere. of the nhs is thriving for now. there are even two new gleaming floors at the royal london hospitalfor new gleaming floors at the royal london hospital for possible covid—19 patients. but what about cancer screening? or heart disease? many who are sick in the community have stayed away, worried they might catch the virus. intensive care co nsulta nt catch the virus. intensive care consultant nick bunker wants them back. all the people who would normally have presented here with ailments, where are they?” normally have presented here with ailments, where are they? i suspect some of them have died. some of them are at home. the cancer, we have not been doing a lot of diagnostics. so if you are not doing the diagnostics you don't pick up an early cancer with the few symptoms that people have early on, and so perhaps are just not detecting. it is still out there. the fervent hope is the

lockdown eases is that people will drift back to the nhs for whatever hurts them and the service will be able to help everyone if we help ourselves. they are our friends and oui’ ourselves. they are our friends and our colleagues who we know who are dying or are sick. people i care about have been lost to coronavirus. you can't overstate... i know it's boring and challenging but, look at it from my perspective. i don't need to see any more dead people. what happens to the nhs now the clapping has stopped? will the reverence and esteem wayne, with the extra funding dry up? whatever happens, the commitment of the men and women we came across at the royal london

hospital won't transform because this is personal. working to help the community they serve as part of a deeper reward. sitting in your car going to work, you think to yourself, is this what i want to do with my life and the answer is, yes absolutely. this is the one time i need to stand up and do myjob. this is the one time i absolutely have to be there. clive myrie reporting there from a hospital in east london. it's six months now since this virus first came to light and scientists are learning more about it every day. so—called super spreaders are of particular interest. the 10% of infected people who are responsible for 80% of all cases will stop —— 80% of all cases. an outbreak in a nightclub district

in south korea. one man with covid—19 is linked to more than 150 new cases. coronavirus clusters aren't unusual. as he was 10% of people could cause 80% of all infections. this is how coronavirus spreads. if the virus is left unchecked, one person will infect three others, who will then pass it on to three more, and this keeps on repeating. but this is the average picture. in reality, some people won't pass the virus on at all, especially if they are self isolating. others though will spread it more widely, so one person could give the virus to ten other people, and a few of those could do the same. this is a super spreading event. right now, this is the only way to sing together. but pre—lockdown choirs saw several super spreading events. bars and restau ra nts super spreading events. bars and restaurants also had clusters. and

james as well. it is notjust about close indoor contact. there were more cases linked to zumba classes than pilates for example, so it might not only be the noise level so you are having to shout and expend more breath that might cause more transmission or you are engaged in an exercise that requires you to breathe more heavily on deep as opposed to more gentle breathing. with lockdown easing, we are being encouraged to spend time outside, but what is the risk? being outdoors is less risk for transmission than being indoors, but if you spend a lot of time together in groups and are sharing food and if you don't maintain social distancing or hand hygiene, then there is still a risk of infections. it is crucial to hygiene, then there is still a risk of infections. it is crucialto know where super spreading is most likely to happen. scientists say targeted

restrictions will help to control covid—19 spread. and, as we saw in a report, south korea is clamping down on those breaking quarantine as it battles clusters of coronavirus p°ppin9 battles clusters of coronavirus p°pping up battles clusters of coronavirus popping up across the country. it is also stepped up its track and trace measures and is making greater use of technology to find covid—19 carriers in less than one hour before they infect others. the country it has been credited with one of the most successful pandemic strategies in the world, using mass testing and aggressive contact tracing to keep its economy and its people out of lockdown. fewer than 300 people have died there and daily case numbers remain under 50. laura becker has been taking a closer look at how they achieved it. each gasp for breath. each drop of blood painted an alarming picture.

this was the first coronavirus patient. the scans revealed she had beeniu patient. the scans revealed she had been ill for days before showing symptoms. doctors realised then that carriers could infect others without knowing they were sick. at the peak of the outbreak, hundreds of contacts traces were mobilised. lessons south korea learn from previous epidemics. she is allowed to ask personal questions and record private details because of special laws brought in to combat into pictures diseases. traces then hit this treats to seek out cctv footage. looking at phone and bank records to get the most accurate information. the details are sent out as emergency messages across the country. tracking down covid—19

carriers once took days. after gaining access to even more data, it now ta kes gaining access to even more data, it now takes less than one hour. you'll not how are you feeling? very tired, i come from south carolina. and you have no symptoms? this woman has taught how to download a quarantine up taught how to download a quarantine up on her phone. she won't be allowed to switch your phone off or move from her quarantine address of 14 days. this foreigner is told he will be deported if he doesn't comply. but she feels it is right.|j am so comply. but she feels it is right.|j am so grateful i can be on this territory. nothing... iamjust am so grateful i can be on this territory. nothing... i am just so glad. a few have complained about any intrusion on privacy. it has been seen as a price worth paying. track and trace has kept this country out of lockdown. meanwhile,

hugs from dad at the arrival gate are replaced with a hosing down of hand sanitiser, an act of love in itself and his extraordinary times. finally, during this pandemic, doctors have had to deal with death more often than many are used to and due to restrictions in place over hospital they are often the last person spent time with a terminally ill patient. the film maker paul miles spoke to five doctors who have had to administer end—of—life care during the crisis. once you have been told that someone is dead, my job is to go in and confirm that death, checking the life science, listening to their chest. normally after that, you may spend another 30 seconds just in there. i suppose, may be saying goodbye to them in a strange way, just acknowledging that

they have gone and then you pull the sheet over their head. it seems so incredible that what you are seeing is the culmination of someone's whole life. the only things that unifier is is that we are all born and we will all die. death is not abnormal, it is perfectly normal. the best deaths are those that are comfortable, peaceful, even if someone is unconscious or confused, they may recognise a tone of voice, perfume, the touch of a hand. she quietly read him his favourite poem just at the moment when he died. his wife and his ex—wife spent the night sat in the hospital room, drinking a

bottle of wine with him. itjust seemed a happy way to go. this afternoon, the foreign secretary said the lockdown will remain in place across the uk. he said deaths are still rising and we haven't yet reached a peak of the virus. the governments chief scientific adviser doctor particularly in this area, the hospitals are full. a colleague described me as having seen someone ina described me as having seen someone in a morning walk to the door who died by the afternoon. in a morning walk to the door who died by the afternoonlj in a morning walk to the door who died by the afternoon. i would get called to look at one or two deaths, whereas now it seems like there is often ten people dying each day in hospital. i have had to look after a few patients who were actively dying and they couldn't see the faces of anyone who was looking after them, including me. you are trying to

smile with your eyes and show them some emotion and some human side, to make them feel that they are not alone. there was one jamaican gentleman, we made the concession of allowing his elderly wife to come and see him as he was dying. she had to wear a mask, is had to wear an apron and gloves to see and touch her husband at the end of his life. i got called to see a patient in the middle of the 90 was very unwell. as icame on middle of the 90 was very unwell. as i came on his mobile phone was ringing. before really doing anything else on that, we got moved on to focusing on his medical care and optimises oxygen. he passed away before the morning. right afterwards, whether or not there was anything i could have done to make sure he could have spoken to his wife. we have now had to make a

blanket rule of family members not being able to come into the intensive care department. people aren't even able to come into the mortuary to be there with the body of their loved one because of infection control reasons and i think there will be a huge amount of emotional trauma that comes out of the back of covid—19 because people haven't been able to process the deaths of their loved one. some of the staff are struggling to come in and find that their list of ten or 15 patients there is only two alive. after literally one night. there is a real issue in palliative medicine with emotional burn—out. we are doing what we can to give people as co mforta ble doing what we can to give people as comfortable and as normal a death as possible, but this is a completely abnormal situation. we are learning as we go along. i do think in the uk

we are quite resistant to talking about death, potentially something that this awful pandemic will do is making people much more aware of their own mortality and making it much more acceptable to be talking about. when we are scared, the first instinct is to turn your face away from what is scaring you and i don't think it is a time to be doing that. i think it is a time to connect, co nve rse i think it is a time to connect, converse and just be clear about what is important. this tool will end and we will come through this. we may have changed, and some of that will be for worse, but some of that will be for worse, but some of that also must be for good. that is it for now, a reminder that you can follow me on twitter or head to the bbc news website for the latest information. thank you for watching.

hello there. this weekend is quite different from previous weekends low pressure is in charge, the centre of that in the north sea slowly drifting south eastwards, extensive cloud across the country, bright or sunny spells between the downpours and you can see the main band of rain clears southwards was that we are seeing some heavy showers again across northern england into the likes of lincolnshire, the east midlands and east anglia as well. heavy downpours to ta ke east anglia as well. heavy downpours to take us through the evening. some rainfor to take us through the evening. some rain for northern ireland and scotla nd rain for northern ireland and scotland as well. through the rest of the night, more rain moving in over the north sea effect in the eastern side of scotland and again turning wet for a time across into eastern areas of england, all the way from northumberland down to lincolnshire. of course the rain continues to be welcome rain can to ring how dry the weather has been

over recent weeks. sunday's forecast, low pressure is there but weakening, tending to swing out into the north sea over to the near continent so although we start off with outbreaks of rain across eastern england in particular, the rain will tend to ease as the day goes by, turning or showery as it d rifts goes by, turning or showery as it drifts down towards the south—east but at the same time, the weather will tend to brighten up across many north—western areas. of the two days of the weekend, sunday there will be more dry weather around and a bit much and china coming through. high—temperature is around glasgow, 18 degrees and we will see cooler weather than that for many of us. monday, high—pressure withers, tuesday we start to see the next weather system spilling off the atla ntic weather system spilling off the atlantic so there will be further changes with the weather. monday will be one of the drier days of the week ahead, most areas will see spells of sunshine slowly developing, may be not isolated showers towards the south—west. temperatures coming up a little bit around 16 or 17 celsius and the

warmest spots. as we head into tuesday, and other weather front approach the north—west of the country bringing outbreaks of rain ultimately back into scotland and northern ireland, england and wales are still quite a bit of cloud but some bright or sunny spells and today's highest temperatures round about 17 to perhaps 19 degrees in the warmest areas and then turns 00:28:19,751 --> 2147483051:50:55,040 increasingly unsettled later in the 2147483051:50:55,040 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 weekend.
