the virus was first detected in the city of wuhan, in china, a little over a year ago late in 2019. the outbreak spread quickly across the world in the first months of 2020 and was declared a global pandemic by the world health organization on the 11th march. so how does the uk death toll compare with the rest of the world? and as the number of global cases rises to over 100 million, what can explain why some countries have been hit so much harder than others? 0ur science editor david shukman reports. the pandemic has touched every nation. the virus claiming lives as it has spread across the globe. despite the arrival of vaccines, the toll continues to be heavy. more than two million people around the world have now died of covid so far but some countries have

suffered far more than others and the best way to measure that is to look at the number of deaths in relation to the size of the population. so, vietnam, new zealand, australia and norway have seen ten deaths orfewer per 100,000 people. in fact, more than half the countries of the world have recorded losses at this relatively low level. denmark, germany, poland and many others have lost more but brazil, the us, italy and the uk are among those with the greatest losses of all, at least 100 covid deaths for every 100,000 people. so, what might explain this? a key question is the government response and how fast it was. some countries were quick to enforce social distancing and other measures, like masks, for example. and the results have been clear. there is a lot more virus per 100,000 population in the uk and the us, in my view, than there is in some

of the east asian countries which have reacted more rapidly and robustly when the outbreak started. planning for the pandemic is another factor and how effective those preparations were. countries hit by the sars virus back in 2003 learnt lessons and got ready. so did nations struck by ebola. britain provided them with expertise and finance to help look out for the next disease. we financed those institutions that help to respond to outbreaks. yet we really don't listen to our own advice so we didn't listen to the institutions that we finance that then said to do this you need to implement effective track and trace and do that quickly, swiftly as possible. and then there's the controversial question of borders and were they closed. many countries did shut their frontiers but the advice from the world health organisation was to keep them open

because by then the virus would have slipped through anyway. but that guidance was often ignored. some states did it. states such as new zealand, australia, they did it and it benefited them. in terms of minimizing the risk of infection from those coming outside of the country. so, it really raises this question of what this advice around borders coming from the world health organisation effective and did it harm those countries that didn't close off its borders? how different countries have responded will be examined for years to come but, right now, the struggle against the virus is far from over. david shukman, bbc news. i'm joined now by martin mckee, professor of european public health at the london school of hygiene & tropical medicine. apologies from the prime minister today. we will remember them. he will work with greater resolve. how

much of a failure though has it been that the uk has the highest number of dead in europe?— of dead in europe? well, it's been incredibly sad _ of dead in europe? well, it's been incredibly sad and _ of dead in europe? well, it's been incredibly sad and a _ of dead in europe? well, it's been incredibly sad and a profound - incredibly sad and a profound failure. i wonder if we could maybe move away from the individual measures. you've listed a number of them but i'm not sure it's terribly helpful. if we look at the overall picture of what has happened, i think we can understand it a bit better. the analogy that we've used elsewhere is that a country in a pandemic is like a ship in a storm. for it to get through this storm it needs a number of things. it needs a captain on the bridge who is paying attention, is focused and has a clear view of where they want to be. they need to have a chart, a map and it should be a map in this case it would've been eight based on the model of sorrows which was what the east countries did. we were following the wrong path. then you need a crew. ud people working to

gather on the ship. you need them they are, you don't need to be going to outsourcing companies. you need to outsourcing companies. you need to have them working together, speaking the same length to eight language communicating with each other and pulling together in a common cause was up instead of a fragmentation where public health in england, the nhs, local government were in different places. the passengers should be healthy. this isn't a caribbean cruise going through a storm like this. the problem was that many parts of the uk, there aren't many people, high levels of disability, of chronic illness and of people living in very distant vantage situations. we know that the disease had its biggest impact and parts particularly the northeast in the northwest where the people living in precarious situations have just about coping for quite a long time. but finally you need that ship. and it needs to be sound. it needs to have secure safety nets. and that is another problem we have had. too many people

who are falling through the safety nets with precarious lives in terms of income, food supply, food banks and so on. all of these problems have weakened the society and undermined the resilience. i think if we look at the whole picture we can understand why the united kingdom has done so badly. it's no one single factor but it's a package. one single factor but it's a package-— one single factor but it's a package. one single factor but it's a ackaue. �* ., ., ., , ., package. but your analogy of the shi- package. but your analogy of the shi is package. but your analogy of the ship is interesting. _ package. but your analogy of the ship is interesting. also - package. but your analogy of the ship is interesting. also when . package. but your analogy of the | ship is interesting. also when you said we were following the wrong path. we were following the wrong path. we were following the wrong path presumably on the advice of scientists. , , ., scientists. scientists did have different views _ scientists. scientists did have different views in _ scientists. scientists did have different views in different. scientists. scientists did have i different views in different parts of the world. and if we looked at what was happening... you of the world. and if we looked at what was happening. . ._ of the world. and if we looked at what was happening... you can expect to government — what was happening... you can expect to government but _ what was happening... you can expect to government but not _ what was happening... you can expect to government but not govern - what was happening... you can expect to government but not govern with - what was happening... you can expect to government but not govern with no | to government but not govern with no scientific qualifications to follow a different path without advice from the scientist. we were told really early days, follow the signs, follow the science. bud early days, follow the signs, follow the science-— early days, follow the signs, follow the science. and i think there was a roblem the science. and i think there was a problem there- _ the science. and i think there was a problem there. because _ the science. and i think there was a problem there. because this - the science. and i think there was a problem there. because this is -

consequence of the eu signing its contract three months after the uk did. for example, they haven't had the same amount of time to iron out production problems on their european site. the eu is simply not buying this though. and it's vowing to tighten the export of vaccines that are made within the eu. so you think of the big phizerfactory here in belgium. normally lots of those jobs would be going to non—eu countries. which of course now includes the united kingdom. boris johnson saying tonight that he is fully confident in the supply of vaccines coming into the united kingdom and is urging all countries to work together. let's get some of the day's other news. the new us presidentjoe biden has had his first phone call with russia's president putin since taking office. mr biden raised concerns about the poisoning of opposition leader alexei navalny and russian

�*aggression' against ukraine. indonesia has passed a million confirmed covid cases on tuesday — a grim milestone for the nation. the figures are among the highest in asia, and almost double the number of infections as its neighbour, the philippines. italy's prime minister — giuseppe conte has handed in his resignation after losing the upper house of parliament. a small party quit the coalition — over the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis and economic recession. it's not yet clear whether mr conte will have the numbers to form a new coalition government. but he made an impassioned appeal to leaders in the upper house or senate for their support. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: us senators are sworn in for the second impeachment of donald trump. the former republican president is charged with inciting an insurrection. the shuttle challenger exploded

soon after lift off. there were seven astronauts on board, one of them a woman schoolteacher. all of them are believed to have been killed. by the evening, at the square the heart of official cairo, the demonstrators. they were using the word revolution. the earthquake singled out buildings and brought them down in seconds. i tonight the search for any survivors has an increasing desperation - about it as the hours passed. the new government is firmly in control of the entire republic of uganda. survivors of the auschwitz concentration camp have been commemorating the 40th anniversary of the liberation. they toured the gas chambers and crematoria and relived their horrifying experience.

this is bbc news, the latest headlines. uk prime minister borisjohnson has offered his "deepest condolences" to britons who have lost relatives to coronavirus, after official figures showed the number of dead now exceeds 100,000. the european union is threatening to impose export controls on vaccines, made within the bloc — accusing astrazeneca of reneging on its promised supply ofjabs. the us senate has rejected an attempt to stop donald trump's impeachment trial. the republican rand paul argued the hearing would be unconstitutional because mr trump is no longer president. but he was defeated by fifty— five votes to forty— five. i'm joined now by nomia iqbal in washington.

about stopping him from running for office again for top under the constitution he can run for another term for that mr trump announced yesterday that he has opened an office. these calls at the office of the former president for top showing that he's not going anywhere. he still plans to stick around and be a real influence in politics and still command that control of the republican party. many republicans know that he is still around, he still influential because he has millions of people who support him. so they don't really want to turn their back on him. that is likely why many of them and are coming out to say that trying it would be unconstitutional.— to say that trying it would be unconstitutional. ., ., ,., unconstitutional. naomi iqbalwith the latest in washington. to india and police have clashed with farmers protesting in delhi — after tens of thousands converged on the capital, to demonstrate against agriculture reforms. the mass protests turned violent after crowds broke through police baracades. farmers fear, reforms to the agricultural industry, will damage their livelihoods. todays protest, is the biggest yet —

and coincides with india's — republic day celebrations. rajini vaidynathan reports. indians farmers aren't backing down. as they advanced to the capital barricades were breached. 0fficers fired tear gas, protesters and police were left injured. the mass movement against a law firm fare will drive them out of business. in the biggest challenge yet for the countries prime minister. 0n the day meant to celebrate national pride. the mood is tense here as thousands of fathers tried to make their way into delhi. they say they've been trying to get the government to listen to them for weeks. now they hope their voice is heard. the government says the reforms will benefit farmers by allowing them to sell directly to big business. but

many fear that once that happens the guaranteed places they get for crops will eventually disappear. translation: these laws will have an effect on anyone who eats. if croppers are allowed to come and they will buy from us at very low prices and we lose our livelihoods. four and ten indians work in agriculture. farmers are a powerful force. despite multiple rounds of docs with the government, they are refusing to budge. and it's what the countries prime minister on the back foot. at the other end of town he hosted the annual republic day parade. many say the populist leader miss red this crisis. as hundreds of farmers forced their way into delhi as historic red fort they remained defiant. they say they will protest until the laws are repealed. they've got this far, they are not

retreating. the protests have been met with support outside of india too — with demonstrations taking place outside the indian embassies in the united states, the united kingdom, canada and australia. jaskaran sandhu is from the world sikh organisation and joins me now from brampton, in canada. you have a large community there and a lot of people with relatives in punjab from the farming community. what has been the reaction where you are? t what has been the reaction where you are? ~ . what has been the reaction where you are? ~' ., ., are? i think there are two sentiments _ are? i think there are two sentiments right - are? i think there are two sentiments right now- are? i think there are two j sentiments right now that are? i think there are two - sentiments right now that are are? i think there are two _ sentiments right now that are feared commonly by folks one is inspiration. we are inspired by our brothers and sisters fighting for their rights. and it's seen as may be the one of the first challenges to these multi—internationalist

across southern england, and for most parts of the country, i suspect it's just going to be quite grey and cloudy, mist and hill fog patches around. best of the sunshine in northern scotland, and here, there's likely to be a few wintry showers coming and going from time to time. later in the afternoon, we'll see more rain pushing back into the south of wales and also across parts of south—west england, but very mild, temperatures ten or 11 degrees across the south. wednesday night and into thursday, we've got this battle zone set up across the uk. mild to the south of this weatherfront, cold air across the north east. and we're going to see some heavy rain, could bring some localised flooding across the north west, but at higher elevations, these routes could be affected by heavy snow. the a57 snakes past the m62 going across the pennines, the m6 and the a74 are all high enough to see a significant spell of snow wednesday night and into thursday. so, very mild, no chance of any snow at all in cardiff and london with temperatures 12 to 1a respectively. but across the north of scotland, it's still cold, temperatures about four. so, there is a risk of seeing some

disruption on thursday, but it's likely to be the high ground in scotland and northern england. 15—30 cm possible. 30 is a foot of snow — imagine what that would do to the roads. now, heading into friday, our frontal zone actually turns around and starts to move its way southwards again, colder air filtering a little bit further southwards across scotland and into the northern edge of this weather system. we'll probably see the rain turn to snow, particularly over the high ground, but it wouldn't be too surprising to see a few flakes at lower levels just as the system is starting to pull away. mild again in the south, colderfurther north and into the weekend, a threat of a bit more hill snow.
