hello, i'm ros atkins, welcome to outside source. there are fresh warnings on covid—19. global cases have reached 16 million — and the infection rate is escalating. we'll take a detailed look at state of the pandemic. we'll have the latest on the uk's decision to imposed a 14—day quarantine on arrivals from spain. the us we'll have the latest on the uk's decision to imposed a 14—day

quarantine on arrivals from spain. vietnam sees its first coronavirus cases for three months — and reacts by flying 80,000 tourists out of one city. plus an update from lebanon where there are warnings it is on the brink of losing control of the virus — these pictures are of an underground car park in the north of the country being used to train medics. there are calls for a new lockdown there. 0n awful lot to get through. it's been almost 6 months since covid—19 was declared a public health emergency — and this is what's happening. the pandemic continues to accelerate. in the past six weeks, the total number of cases has roughly doubled. let's take a detailed look at the pandemic, how it's escalating and how it's being tackled. let's start with the headline statistics. i'm afraid it's stark. there are over 640,000 confirmed fatalities. and more than 16 million confirmed cases. and look at the infection rate the who was talking about. it took 38 days to go from 5

to 10 million confirmed cases. to go from 10 to 15 million took only 2a days. the last million confirmed cases million took four days. the infection rate is increasing. you can see the global story of the pandemic in these graphs. the virus was first identified in china. there were then major outbreaks in europe and north america in april. as they began to ease in may, latin america and asia saw significant outbreaks of their own. and while europe's case numbers have largely continued to fall, north america has seen a resurgence of infections, mostly in the us. and latin america is now the epicentre of the pandemic — with brazil by far the worst affected there. and despite the complexity of this pandemic — the who says, in some ways, this is a simple challenge. find, isolate, test, and care for cases and trace, and quarantine their contacts. keep your distance from others, clean your hands, avoid crowded and enclosed areas,

and wear a mask where recommended. where these measures are followed, cases go down. where they are not, cases go up. now we've often featured analysis that says the only real end to this will come when there's a vaccine. but now we have a caveat against that — the virologist klaus stohr played a key role for the who during the sars pandemic in the 2000s. he says... he goes on... and he's spoken to the bbc today. 80% of the global vaccine production is located in european countries,

also in the us, india has a significant vaccine production but it will not suffice to immunise that many people, to produce a vaccine first and later immunise that many people before the virus will have spread globally to almost every person by most likely end of next year or in two years‘ time. around a quarter of all the confirmed cases of covid—19 have been in the us — and close to 150,000 people have died because of it. and the numbers continue to worse — both in terms of reported cases and deaths. florida, louisiana and mississippi are a particularfocus — between four and 500 people per million are confirmed to have the virus every day. for context, most states are below 200 for the equivalent statistic. and this graph from the la times, shows that infection rates in california are also heading in the wrong direction.

judging the impact on the us economy to some degree depends on where you look — much has been made between the gap between wall street and main street. this is why. when the scale of the virus became clear, markets tumbled in march — but since then major us companies like those listed on the sp500 have seen their share value recover in some fashion. the $2.1; trillion of emergency spending that the us congress approved no doubt helped. but while wall street has had a good few months, this is what happened to the us unemployment rate. this graph is from june but there are still 30 million people claiming unemployment benefit of $750 a week. but unless there's a new deal by the end of the week, that will drop to $150. and of course that will impact directly on people's lives in many ways — and will significantly reduce the money they're able to spend in the economy too. here's a report from michelle fleury on this issue.

more than 30 million unemployed americans are getting an extra $600 a week in benefits, that's one in five us workers. lou benavides, a music merchandising tour manager, is one of them. my income has been zero like from the second the pandemic started and the music industry shut down. what's been keeping afloat is this payment from the government. i can't even explain how much of an impact it had on me because it's something i needed to do anything — for groceries, rent, car payments, cell phone payments, like, everything. but a fight in washington could change that. the extra money is about to disappear at the end of the month unless congress renews it. for those who depend on these cheques, it's frustrating. how will you cope? that's something i've been thinking about for the last month. and their inability to act efficiently is just very telling of how they feel about people that need this money. the additional money

is notjust helping lou. it's helping the economy at large, allowing unemployed workers to keep spending. two thirds of all economic activity comes from consumer spending. if the payment were to disappear entirely, it could lead to a 2% reduction in gdp. but republicans are unlikely to extend it at its current level. they want to write smaller cheques arguing the extra cash discourages americans from finding new work. brandon humberston, who makes more in unemployment than he did as a cook, says those fears don't reflect the reality on the ground. you can't get a normaljob now. it's kind of dire and depressing but it's true. i know a lot of people who are resorting to drug use, everyone's depressed, everyone's anxious, there's no hope for the future. you're sitting inside your house all day waiting for something to change. and it's a very powerless feeling. with the virus resurgent and re—openings on pause, economic

conditions are deteriorating. and with millions of americans out of work and many more in danger of losing theirjobs, lines at food pantries like this one in brooklyn are getting longer. congress looks unlikely to act in time. the extra unemployment benefits, a lifeline for many americans, will end at least temporarily — and more and more american workers will struggle to feed their families. one bit of good news in the us is that the biotech company moderna has begun phase three trials of a vaccine for covid—19, with the ambition of having it fully developed by next year. a few minutes ago president trump welcomed the announcement, saying it was made possible by a federal programme to help companies develop a vaccine dubbed operation warp speed. there's never been anything like this in terms of speed, nothing even close. a second vaccine is likely to enter phase three in a matter of days. under operation warp speed, we've shaved years off of the time that it takes to develop a vaccine.

in some cases, many years. and we've done while maintaining the fda gold standard for safety. moderna's vaccine will now be tested on 30,000 people — this phase is usually the last before a new product is submitted for regulatory approval. ian haydon was one of 45 people who volunteered to be injected with a potential vaccine in drug moderna's stage one trial in march. hejoins us live he joins us live from the us, hejoins us live from the us, thanks for your time. tell me about the calculations you made when you decided to say yes to taking part. it was pretty simple for me for some i'm fortunate enough to be in good health and i happen to live in a city where an early coronavirus vaccine trial was taking place so it seemed like a responsible way i can help out in this trying time. you decided to say yes, what happened once you done that? i went in for an initial screening visit which was

including a bloodwork, i came in for the first injection which was uneventful and have been monitored by the clinic ever since then. after a month i got my second dose back in april and since then, i have been just doing blood work and being monitored by the clinicians running the trial. help me understand the different experiences of view and the others in this small group or taking part in the trial because you weren't all given the same treatment is that right? that is right, part of this earliest phase one study is to figure out what the right dose of this vaccine is. we don't know if it will work or what the proper doses. a low, medium, and high dose was tested in phase one. i was one of the participants who got the highest dose and it seemed that was a bit too high i ended up for about 2k hours with a high fever, nausea and other symptoms. based on the experience and the expense of about two other participants who also got the high dose, moderna the company behind the spacing is moving forward with the medium does for phase two

and three testing. you state you did not feel well in a matter—of—fact way but having read a couple other accou nts way but having read a couple other a ccou nts of way but having read a couple other accounts of what you went through it sounds like moments at least it was reasonably uncomfortable experience. for about 2k hours it was pretty rough. i woke up with a high fever, nausea, i ended up going to urgent ca re nausea, i ended up going to urgent care 5am and i was meant there by the lead researcher on the phase one study. they wanted to run some tests on me, make sure i was doing well. luckily the symptoms passed in about a date with just some iv fluid and tylenol. i spent most the time at home and aside from that one brief episode a day of feeling unwell, i really had no other symptoms to report from the entire trial. is your involvement done as it proceeds to the next stage? these trouser happening in a staggered fashion so phase one will continue to happen even though two and three have not begun. i will be monitored for a full year after having gotten the second dose. i am going to keep

going back to the clinic and getting bloodwork until next spring. thank you for telling us what your experience was that that is ian haydon take part in the child which is pushing onto a third stage and despite donald trump's optimism, there's a big difference between having vaccines at trial and having them regulatory approved and ready to go at scale but we will see how those two efforts in the us continue. let's turn to the ongoing fallout from the uk's decision to impose 1a day quara ntines on people arriving from spain. the who is saying travel restrictions are not a sustainable way of controlling the pandemic in the long—term. here's more of its comments. (tx sot) it is going to be almost impossible for individual countries to keep their borders shut for the foreseeable future. economies have to open up, people have to work and trade has to resume. continuing to keep international borders sealed is not necessarily a sustainable strategy

for the world's economy, the world's poor or for anybody else so we really do have to make process beginning to do that but to do it in a way that is least risky. —— to make progress. the uk government's decision is impacting the holiday plans of thousands of british families. those in spain must decide whether to stay on — those about to go must decide whether to cancel. here are some people who are heading home. it's slightly annoying but i feel like at the moment it is a risk you want to take. you have to do it if you are going on holiday it is a risk anyway. i'm not too concerned if i get home i will work for home as i have been doing anyway. i'm more concerned about the children. i think your country is not making sense and i can't understand why we are doing it. it's all right. well you have to quarantine doesn't matter, everyone else's been safe, it's been a good holiday. i think it's absolutely disgusting.

when we go home we have to isolate 14 days no pay when we have to go back to work. you won't be surprised to know that the spanish government would like the uk to change its mind — especially for parts of spain with low case numbers. this graphic shows the situation — the darker the blue the more severe the situation. so aragon and catalonia are experiencing the worst outbreaks. the canary islands and the balerics though have very low numbers — and spain argues they deserve to be left off the quarantine list. —— the balearic islands. well the uk has now seemingly doubled down on the decision, in the last few hours the foreign office extended their advice against all non—essential travel to mainland spain to include both sets of islands. nevertheless, the bbc has been told by a uk government source that talks to make the islands exempt are underway. we'll see. let's hear from our correspondent in madrid guy hedgecoe. the bbc‘s science editor david shukman has been assessing if the evidence backs that up. why did the uk government change its rules for travellers coming from spain?

well, health officials noticed a rise in cases in a series of different regions in the country. they haven't released their assessment but no one wants to repeat the way the virus reached the uk back in february. so after the change of policy on spain, where next? what other countries might be added to the quarantine list? in theory any country with a rise in infections could see new rules imposed on travellers. in france, for example, after a massive spike earlier this year, numbers came right down but have since crept back up again to about 1,000 cases a day. in germany, which was never badly affected there's also been a slight increase but only to about 300 cases a day. while greece which is widely praised for its handling of the virus has also seen a very slight rise but only to about 30 new cases every day. and if there are flare—ups, why involve whole countries rather than regions within them?

the spanish authorities say that catalonia has had more than 8000 cases in the past fortnight but the balearic islands have only had 92 saying they should be allowed easier travel. and with most visitors to the islands flying directly to and from them, some countries like the netherlands are making an exception and there is a hint that the uk may do the same. just when holidays are so desperately needed, these are nervous times because the virus is still around which means we're going to see more spikes and more disputes over how to respond to them. we will continue to bring you up—to—date on the pandemic across different parts of the world. we will focus on vietnam and a few minutes and it has seen its first coronavirus cases for a few months and has wrapped up by flying out tens of thousands of tourists from one city.

almost two thirds of adults in england are overweight or obese — and the government has unveiled new measures to tackle the problem. sophie hutchinson has more. these new measures for england and some that apply right across the uk are being welcomed very much as a big moment by some obesity experts. one described them as totemic to me earlier saying it's the first on a prime minister had truly recognised the harmful impact of junk food marketing and advertising and the easy availability of it in our shops and restaurants. there has been huge frustration from obesity experts about ministers talking a lot about doing things but not actually acting. we know that being overweight increases the risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart problems, and puts an enormous strain on the nhs. but the risk now from covid—19 to those who are heavier seems really to have focus the mind of ministers here.

this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. global coronavirus cases have reached 16 million — and the infection rate is escalating. the who says the pandemic is "easily the most severe" global health emergency ever declared away from covid—19 here are of other main stories from around the world. israel says it fired on hezbollah militants who entered its territory. israel's prime minister called it a "serious security incident". it's alleged to have happened in the mount dov area which is part of the israeli—occupied syrian golan heights. a hezbollah statement said it had not engaged in any clashes and blamed a "nervous" enemy. the area has been tense since the death of a hezbollah egypt sentenced five young women to two years in prison for posting

what the court called "indecent videos" on tiktok — they've also received fines of thousands of dollars. this is all part of a campaign by the authorities against social media influencers, and primarily women. and while these women are accused of inciting "debauchery" and "immorality", it's far from clear what they did that qualifies for that description. from bbc arabic. ukraine putz military has claimed russia violated a cease—fire. russia denies the accusation. already, presidents for what mary zelensky and vydra put in have given their joint support for the cease—fire on a phone call on sunday. —— volodymyr zele ns ky a phone call on sunday. —— volodymyr zelensky and president putin. to asia now — where we're seeing the virus emerge in countries which had done well containing it initially. vietnam first — it used a lockdown and strict travel restrictions to keep recorded cases below 500

and it had no fatalities. on top of that, it's nearly 100 days since its last locally transmitted case. but four new cases have emerged in the popular tourism region of danang — and vietnam is taking no chances. authorities have started to evacuate 80,000 mostly vietnamese tourists — and the area will be locked down for at least 14 days. this is the bbc‘s south east asia correspondent, jonathan head. given that their borders are ineffective sealed from the very few foreigners who have gotten in and those who do come in are very tightly controlled, where did these infections come from? and that is what is worrying the authorities, they are working at the possibility of people being allowed to come in it we at the possibility of people being allowed to come and illegally being smuggled then as a source for this infection because otherwise it is very hard to attribute it. if you have had no local infections for that long, where did these people, three of them from danang and a province that is not that far away, where did they get their covid—19 from? and that is a worry.

a scottish pilot who spent more than two months on a ventilator in vietnam because of covid—19 has been talking to the bbc. here's stephen cameron with the bbc‘s oliver barnes. i had multiple blood clots. i had renalfailure. i had another couple of organs failing me. my lungs were down to 10% capacity at one stage. i've been told that i was asia's sickest patient. vietnam has yet to record a single death from coronavirus. stephen came close to dying than anyone else and keeping him alive became a matter of national pride. within a few days of his first flight, he was on a ventilator with severe covid—19. after 114 days, he left

hospital as a celebrity. the vast majority of the country knew about patient 91, which i — was my moniker. when we went through the lobby, it must‘ve been about ten deep with people. everybody had their phones out, even doctors, nurses in the different wards that we went past. and when i got into the back of the ambulance, when we were getting driven away, there was traffic cops out on the roads holding people back — again, maybe 15—20 deep people out on the street, on the road. for somebody who does not really seek out notoriety or limelight, it was a bit surprising. and i wouldn't say overwhelming, but ijust couldn't believe it. and, as lockdown eases here and in scotland and in the uk, do you have a message for people in their approach to the advice and guidelines? i mean, i'm living example of what this virus can do and how it is serious. you know, people might grumble about having to put on gloves or social distancing, two metres apart and all this sort of stuff, but do you know, i contracted it and i was under for ten weeks, on life support. it's no laughing matter. it's a very serious thing, and i think people can't be blase about this until we have eradicated it. oliver barnes, bbc news. just like vietnam, hong kong was praised for its early

handling of the virus. on monday though it reported 145 new cases — that's a record. the reaction‘s been swift. from wednesday, dining in restaurants will be banned, only two people from different households can meet each other, and facemasks must be worn in all public places. these residents are in support. well, i think it's the best decision for everyone to keep healthy. this system is the reality that we have to do right now so i think we need to follow all the rules and guides. well it seems hong kong cases are getting worse. there are a lot more cases, people are a bit more worried. i think having this new restriction is like a one—time, isn't it? just start it — let's do it early and then end it early. next the philippines — president duterte has used his annual state address to outline his plan for post—covid recovery. this includes corporate tax cuts

and targeted support for industries that have been badly hit. and there was this request for china. four days ago, i made a plea to president xi hsing paying that if they had the vaccine, can they allow us they had the vaccine, can they allow us to be one of the first or if it is needed, be able to buy it that we will be granted credit so that we can normalise as fast as possible? our next focus in asia is india — it's has one of the highest number of cases in the world — and initially its bigger cities — like delhi and mumbai — bore the brunt. now though the virus is beginning to impact rural areas much more. here's dr harsh mahajan of the healthcare federation of india on why that is so concerning. with the containment measures that were undertaken, both of these cities actually plateaued.

and now the cases are on the down swing. in fact, in delhi as of today about 80% of covid beds in various hospitals are empty. but conversely at the same time in this month, slowly and now more rapidly, cases are increasing in the smaller cities in the towns which were previously not affected and that is a matter of great concern because especially in the smaller towns, the health care facilities are not as good as they are in the bigger cities. we will continue to work our way around the world and bring you up—to—date on the covid—19 pandemic. it if you need further information, you can get that on the bbc news app and bbc news website. go to the app

store on your store —— on your phone, search bbc news and find it. i will see you in a couple of minutes. hello there. it's been pretty unsettled today. we've had low—pressure nearby. it's brought fairly strong winds, a lot of cloud and some pretty heavy and persistent rain, with some heavy showers thrown in as well. this week, we're starting off cool, rather unsettled thanks to low—pressure, but by mid—week and towards the end of the week, high—pressure dominates and it'll turn also much warmer, dry and sunnier, particularly across the south, where we could see the first 30 celsius plus of the month. but it will be a short warm spell. now, this is the area of low pressure which has brought all the unsettled weather through today. it is slowly pushing out into the north sea, but what that is doing is allowing a run of pretty cool northwesterly winds to develop, and they will be quite strong and blustery through the overnight period, feeding in lots of showers to northern and western areas.

stays pretty wet, in fact, for the northern isles. but because of the breeze, and also the cloud and the showers, it should not be too cold at night. temperatures in double figures for most. into tuesday, it remains quite blustery. a better day than what we had through monday, with increasing amounts of sunshine across southern and eastern areas. there will be plenty of showers in northern and western areas. some of these may travel in towards the strong and blustery northwest wind. and it remains quite wet and windy across the northern isles. again, temperatures pretty disappointing with that northwesterly wind around. the mid—to—high teens for most of us. low—pressure continues to push off in towards scandinavia on wednesday. we've got another system pushing into western part of the country. more crucially, an area of high—pressure starts to build in across the south, and that's going to be the game changer of our weather from wednesday onwards. so it'll stay quite blustery in the far north east, close to that low. low—pressure pushing into the west will bring more cloud from northern ireland, to wales, maybe some spots of rain here. but across the south, the southeast corner especially, we start to see increasing amounts of sunshine as that high pressure builds in, so the temperatures

will be a little bit higher. again, the high teens further north. as we move out of wednesday into thursday, our area of high pressure establishes itself over the near continent. this area will bring more clouds, showers, maybe some of them heavy across northern ireland in towards scotland, but as we move out of thursday into friday, we really start to see this warm air spread northwards right across the country, so we will have a few showers and cloud across northern and western areas on thursday. it starts to hot up across the south and then it's warmer for all of us on friday. temperatures into the low 30s celsius across the south.

hello i'm ros atkins, welcome to outside source. there are fresh warnings on covid19 global cases have reached 16 million — and the infection rate is escalating. we'll take a detailed look at state of the pandemic. we'll have the latest on the uk's decision to imposed a 14—day quarantine on arrivals from spain. latin america's still a virus hotspot. we'll go through the latest developments with bbc monitoring.

plus an update from lebanon where there are warnings it is on the brink of losing control of the virus — these pictures are of an underground carpark in the north of the country being used to train medics. there are calls for a new lockdown there. welcome. latin america is the epicentre of the pandemic. we've got updates from brazil and colombia. first, guatemala, which is reopening its economy even though cases are on the rise. shopping centres and restaurants have reopened from monday. public transport — which had been suspended since march — is starting to resume. however a night—time curfew will remain in place and borders remain closed. guatemala has reported more than 1700 deaths and 45,000 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic. and cases are yet to level off. the pandemic isn't going anywhere in brazil, last week it had its worst week so far. these statistics are sobering. a record 319,653 people in brazil contracted the virus last

week. 7,677 big number more than 7,500 people died. that brings the total number of deaths in brazil to 85,000. the virus first hit big cities like sao paulo but has been heading inland to smaller towns. like campinas. it's home to 1.2 million people and one of many cities now under pressure. shops here first reopened in june but were forced to close again when cases started to rise. this week they've reopened again. we spotted this picture from there. this plastic sheet has been hung on the railings of one care—home. it has arm holes in it — so relatives can hug each other but still maintain some distance. neighbouring colombia is nowhere near brazil in terms of its virus statistics. however, infections and deaths there are rising. more than 8,000 people have now died. there have been more than 220,000 total cases. colombia's government doesn't expect cases to peak until next month. this is the capital bogota. it's one of several cities which is running out

of beds in intensive care. a nationwide lockdown has now been extended. this is alarming. the washington post reports armed groups are enforcing strict curfews — and the penalty if you don't comply is death. rafael rojas is with bbc monitoring in miami. colombia brazil inlandtourism. tell us what was happening with these militants in columbia. well, these militants in columbia. well, the situation has been going on at the situation has been going on at the start of the pandemic. we started reporting some threats to people who had tested positive for covid—19 in certain areas. specifically areas that have a large guerrilla presence. right—wing paramilitary presence in the pacific coast mostly. and what this is been a consequence, a direct consequence of the state failing to fill the void that was left behind by when they demobilize after the 2016

public peace agreement with the government. so what we are seeing right now according to many analysts is that groups, deficit infections 01’ even is that groups, deficit infections or even right—wing paramilitary groups are using their power, the power of the weapons to maintain the order and to maintain their dominance on the population so they can continue criminal activities in the areas. earlierl can continue criminal activities in the areas. earlier i was saying that in india we are seeing the virus move out of the big cities into more rural areas and smaller cities and towns. it sounds like we are seeing something similar in brazil now. yes, we are, there has been continued criticism on the government is all over the place in the media. even the bishops have criticised the government for pushing an economy and death economy. as we pushing an economy and death economy. as we saw pushing an economy and death economy. as we saw yesterday in the new york times here in the united states the area in the amazon, deep in the amazon jungle has become the

centre of the epidemic. it's taking the virus to three countries. peru, colombia and brazil who share the amazon and share that part of the border. the number has been rising steadily even among indigenous communities. finally i wanted to ask about tourism. already on the programme we talked about vietnam evacuating a city, we talked about the uk introducing quarantine for tour is coming back is been, how is the tourism industry or industries in latin america coping with this? it's been very difficult. in places that have remain open like ken cohen and mexico the amount of taurus has been dropping. significantly. right now the regulations that are in place are taking people who live in

cancun, they do not allow them to go to the beaches, they do not allow them to be at bars but they do attract taurus. but tour numbers are down, numbers are approximately 60% of what they were last year. and in some places like in peru and machu picchu, they were trying to reopen the city for tourism last friday which was the anniversary of discovery. but it was impossible because in peru specifically there has been a new peak in covid—19 cases. they had to close down one of the cities close to the historic machu picchu area. and it was impossible to open it up. so they have no information of when this historic site will be open for the public. it is always invaluable getting them on. thank you very much. next — to lebanon where health officials have recommended

a two—week lockdown. this tweet explains why. it's from the head of the main hospital that's treating lebanon s health ministry says that if the current rate of admissions is maintained, the country will run out of beds to treat coronavirus patients by the middle of next month. and the coronavirus problem in lebanon is compounded by the country's economic and political crisis. this article from the telegraph last month puts it starkly. the currency has nosedived and food prices have doubled since the start of the year. the country s government is effectively bankrupt and in no position to fund a massive emergency response. people are getting desperate. this tweet from a journalist in beirut shows a series of facebook posts — people offering furniture, glassware, & even shoes

in exchange for diapers, ——nappies cooking oil, & baby formula. he says "the country's remaining middle class is being destroyed, & the working class decapitated." and this is cctv of an armed man stealing nappies. that's from a report by martin patience, our correspondent in beirut. the french foreign minister was in lebanon recently — this is his diagnosis. translation: this country, it must be said, is on the brink of collapse. and if action is not taken it risks becoming a country adrift. each one knows the path to be taken. there are ways to recover. france is ready to support them, provided that the political authorities take the necessary decisions. the call to lebanon's leaders to act is a pointed one. there have been protests like these against them in lebanon for months now. and weariness is setting in.

this is from martin patience again... "as a lebanese friend said to me the country's leaders would rather let lebanon burn than give up power." at the moment the restrictions that are in place are not 100% confirmed yet. the government will be meeting in a cabinet session tomorrow to approve of a number of what they're calling severe preventive measures. today, however, at the interior minister did confirm that the country would be going into a sort of two—part lockdown from july 31st to august 3rd, and then from august 6th to august 10th. and in that time he said that bars, nightclubs, restaurantes will be closed, religious gatherings will also be banned which will definitely impact muslims celebrating eib this weekend but nothing has yet been confirmed regarding the airport. and is there anything the government can do to try do protect the lebanese economy while it goes through this? oh, wow. that's a very tough question.

right now it is a precarious balance between resuscitating the economy and making sure the health care system is not overwhelmed which is why we have been seeing the surge we have been seeing in the last few weeks. i should have mentioned just before that cliff that was our generals in beirut. stay with us on oustide source, still to come: an investigation by bbc africa eye has found evidence that deaths in somalia may be far higher than offical figures suggest. more now on that decision from the british government to make people returning from spain quarantine for 14 days. our consumer affairs correspondent sarah corker has been looking at some of the most frequently—asked questions. for those dreaming of a holiday getaway this summer there are still plenty of
