this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin the whole of italy is now in quarantine the prime minister says he's extending emergency measures to try to stop the spread of the corona virus across the country people are now only allowed to travel in an emergency also coming up germany has reported its 1st 2 deaths from the virus and confirmed that the epidemic is spreading rapidly through europe's largest economies. plus the european union and turkey trying to find a way out of the standoff over migrants of the border between turkey and greece.

and russia's state duma is set to take up the constitutional changes proposed by president vladimir putin critics fear the reforms could see him cling to power even after he leaves office. well i'm terry martin good to have you with us italy has extended its anti coronavirus measures with the law down of the entire country italian prime minister does have a contest says that as of this morning travel restrictions will apply to the whole of italy not just the north as before the current a virus has killed more than 460 people across the country more than 9000 are infected. and the restaurant chairs a common site now in italy which has extended its emergency coronavirus measures to

cover the whole country public gatherings are banned only restaurants and cafes that guarantee customers can remain at least one metre parts can open and all must close at dusk on the eve of the bumped up measures taking hold the some diners the last evening meal outs for a while. it's least prime minister outlined the measures and took the nation's youth to task. i am about to sign a decree that we can sum up with the expression i stay at home juris look. beyond will. we understand that young people want to socialize. we have seen the images graphs where the nightlife is fun where they drink outside bars. it is no longer possible

for us to allow this because of the risk of infection. the measures also restrict people to all but essential travel commuting for work is allowed if people have documentation proving it's necessary. i'm forced by my company to travel for work so i must do it every day from monday to friday. the queue here at the gate is a problem because necessary it makes it difficult to keep our distance and respect all the measures in place pretty simplistic up. by telling the nation 60000000 people to stay at home until at least april italy the country west hit by the coronavirus after china is hoping its can finally turn the tide. well journalist alessio potter owner is in milan covering this story alessio why has the government decided to extend these emergency measures to the whole country it's

a big big step. good morning and thanks for having me and yes it's a huge step let me just remind remark this italy had not close schools across the country not even during world war 2 when it was conflict told over the country now we're talking about quarantine for the for the whole country it's it's it's must save. obviously the very concerned i think one thing one issue that has been out that that the government has not mentioned but talking to doctors in intensive care units and hospitals here in body there's a lot of concern have doubts will there be enough resources to cure everybody will we have to get to a point in which we have to decide who to catherine who to leave behind and i think that this that the fear of that scenario plays a role into into the into the measures that have been taken. how will these measures be in for store is compliance with them purely voluntary

well waking up to this. part of the my answer is we'll say it looks like it's a voluntary measures and police checkpoints obviously prime minister cones has called for responsibility everybody is asked to stay indoors to stay home that will be police checks not of ever not not on and on everybody. what's the public reaction to all of this because it's extremely disruptive of course i presume people understand why it's happening but are how are they coping with it. you're lucky you said i think many thought this was in the air especially listening to the news during the last few days and to the rapid rise and contagions. of a civil panic especially in the south we've seen scenes of panic buying in supermarkets queues in rome naples sicily. but there were also people who thought you know this is not enough lumber to governor who are sprints the crisis here is

one of these people who said we need to be stricter when it's time for stricter measures. you're in milan and that's one of the hot spots there in the north of the country describe for us what life is like in that city now. well it's bizarre i was trying to think about something because you what you see on the news is often you know it's surreal it's sounds and it seems like it's not you know you live in a place that doesn't exist and in a way it's almost dreamlike people are not going out we're wondering can i see my girlfriend can i see my friends obviously the answer to that is no you need to avoid that at all costs. botts it in another way you don't there's not a massive disruption to your life you work from home you carry on working supermarkets are full of stops so it's a it's a mix of seeing empty streets but also carrying on with your life alessio thank you

very much for filling us in there that was journalist alessio pepper on there in milan. meanwhile in the united states more than 2000 cruise ship passengers stranded at sea since last week over coronavirus fares are finally being allowed to step onto dry land in california the grand princess luxury liner has docked at the port of oakland the tourists are being taken to isolation units or hospital depending on their condition 21 people mostly crew members tested positive for the respiratory disease all crew remain on board and are being taken to an unknown location for foreign to. well u.s. president don't trump spoke to reporters about the corona virus outbreak a short while ago and outlined new steps to deal with it we are going to be asking tomorrow we're seeing the senate going to be meeting with house republicans mitch mcconnell everybody and discussing

a possible payroll tax. cut or relief substantial really very substantial relief that's a big that's a big number we're also working with the industries including the airline industry the cruise ship industry which obviously will be hit we're working with them very very strongly we want them to. travel we want people to travel to certain locations and. not to other locations at this moment while the corona virus outbreak is having a major impact on schooling around the world as more countries begin a series of school shutdowns at least 13 countries have closed schools nationwide and 9 others have implemented local shutdowns in japan nearly all schools have been closed since the 2nd of march the government offered financial support to parents but even so the closures have added to the burden on working parents who now have to make arrangements for taking care of their children during the day.

6 year old leo east she is learning to play the piano his 49 year old father is trying to concentrate welcome to working life during a school shop. it's not just me. several of my colleagues are also concerned about how to look after their children . woke up the whole day it's good my company allows work from home but at 1st i didn't know how to look after my son all day i was all over the place. but easy to see how this story even the strongest of potential bombs it's a dilemma shared by millions of working parents across japan how to entertain their energetic offspring on a working day. i'm concerned about the impact on my

son's daily life. nor do i know the recruitment consultant and mother of 2 my yumi has flown no more peaceful way to cope our company is offering employees a chance to use spare rooms as classrooms the flexible set up to focus on her own tasks while checking homework and it's alleviated her initial fears about the school closures. he said to myself no that's not possible was this really going to happen in my town what's going to happen to us and i was full of concerns. given the measures are intended to stop children spreading the virus such policies may come to. soar to the decision of daycare centers like this one in tokyo to extend its opening hours staff insist children are kept apart and their temperatures measured on arrival but that's of limited

help in combat seeing a virus that can be spread when carriers don't have symptoms. the daycare center helps me a lot. my company has suddenly asked all employees to work from home and i'm not used to that. but the daycare center called us and said they would open for morning . cutting myself a huge help for struggling parents public health officials see it could undermine national efforts to contain the virus. germany has recorded its 1st 2 deaths from the corona virus both victims died in the country's most populous state north rhine-westphalia the country's also been post its 1st mass foreign teen in a town in the state of brandenburg outside berlin the health ministry is urging people to help slow the spread of the virus by washing their hands with soap and.

nina from our political desk is here with us good morning nina a coronavirus hotspot has appeared in the state of brandenburg surrounding berlin how it was being dealt with well around 2250 people there are currently in quarantine at home apparently the virus got to brandenberg too small town called noise stopped also because a woman who was later tested positive from berlin had came into contact with some 20 people there in that town and so then the authorities decided to keep schools closed and to keep pupils at home employees at home teaches that home including the relatives until they saw that the virus hasn't spread any fattah what about the rest of germany how quickly is the virus spreading and how was the country dealing with it well on monday authorities reported 210 new cases and that brings the numbers here up to 1112 but of course in

a couple of hours' time we'll probably get fresh figures and probably they will have risen and a german man died in egypt a few days ago and as you. just said 2 people died from the virus in north rhine-westphalia on monday and that was the fest 2 deaths on german soil these 2 people are said to be elderly and they have had or they had had previous a medical conditions. it's not clear whether we've reached the peak yet authorities are warning that we may still see numbers rising quite drastically but they are saying that quarantine measures for example have meant that the authorities themselves some time that they managed to find out more about the virus and manage to find out that way where they need to concentrate their efforts but again some doctors are saying that they might not be well equipped enough to deal with massive outbreak here in germany because for example the extent export ban on medical masks only came into force last week the government has remarked has

recommended restrictions on public gatherings in this country how closely are those recommendations being followed. well that was quite a drastic change in tone i found compact last week when they were still just people to use common sense so the health minister on sunday night issued this official recommendation and some regional lawmakers said that this actually comes very close to being an official order from the german health ministry it's still up to regional lawmakers and organizes to implement that decision and to discuss whether they can hold mass gatherings of more than a 1000 people what i find personally very interesting is that the c.d.u. conservatives have so far not announced that they will cancel their own party convention which is due to take place in late april and that is likely to have more than a 1000 people attending of course everyone is talking about the coronavirus in germany

like the rest of the world what's the sense among the general populace. about whether the government is doing what it should be doing to tackle this. well yes spawn has risen to number 2 spawn being the health minister number 2 out of all the politicians in terms of popularity he comes right behind the chancellor angela merkel now so there is a sense that he is very visible he gives a daily press conferences and he briefs the public on what they need to do then again some people are warning like doctors that maybe this export ban came too late that maybe people are underestimating the seriousness testing is not efficient enough it's extra and everything has to seen against the background that we probably haven't seen the peak of the corona virus spread here in germany it you know thank you so much correspondent nina. thank. you brief look now

at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today protesters have taken to the streets in brazil for a 2nd day to demonstrate against gender violence and inequality around the in rio de janeiro targeted president. and called for more protection for women and girls the march followed women's day protests across latin america at the weekend. british rock band led zeppelin has triumphed in a long running copyright dispute over their hit stairway to heaven the u.s. appeals court ruled they did not steal the songs opening riff the band members who wrote the song could have faced a legal bill for millions of dollars in damages. the head of the european commission ursula fund alliance says a 2016 refugee agreement aimed at stemming the flow of migrants to europe via turkey is still valid turkey's president wretch of time to one join talks in

brussels aimed solving the dispute with the e.u. over moderates on the turkish you border everyone wants more help from brussels for the 3600000 syrian refugees in turkey. pawns in a political game these are just some of the thousands of refugees hoping for entry into the e.u. who have massed on the greek border since turkey said it had been opened in violation of the 2016 accord. but if. we saw it on the internet and turkish websites that the migrant route was open i think that those who want to do across to europe as migrants could do so. and that's why we came. but the route into europe had not been opened after talks with the one in brussels european commission president funded lyon confirmed the ongoing validity of the 2016 agreement and said analysis is to be carried out on which parts of it have not been followed we discussed today how to implement the missing people pieces to map

again to analyze it to 5 a common understanding what is missing and what is already in place and then to implement the missing elements we have expressed very clearly to president our commitment to move forward on these issues provided that this is reciprocal e.u. council president sharma show underlined the need for turkey to uphold its side of the bargain when it is older we had the opportunity to show the way in which the european union has put by natural engagements to work. the promise to mobilize a total of $6000000000.00 euros to go towards supporting the refugees in turkey. and it was also an opportunity to recognize the responsibility that turkey has assumed in caring for the migrants on turkish soil. but for many of those migrants who have left loved ones behind passage to europe remains the goal.

was cross straight over now to correspondent arena strauss in brussels some rain at the turkish president comes to brussels to discuss the controversial refugee deal that comes out of the talks and says the deals intact all's well what is turkey say . we don't know for sure actually because president earlier on a left right off the talks ended and the press conference was only by the e.u. officials and of those left underlined was asked by a journalist what they expect demands are and where and how do you have homes to fulfill them and she didn't answer to this question what we know is that talks to nato general secretary and stoltenberg before the talks with those of us on the line and china shelf and there he made clear to arms more support from the un from nato when it comes to the situation in syria and it's live especially when we also

know one of the outcomes of this meeting is that you hired a representative bordello will meet with his counterpart his turkish counterpart in the next weeks in the coming weeks and there will be a sort of meeting group to discuss turkey deal the future if it also possible adjustments that they could make so both sides are more happy with it but ok well while we wait on turkey's response to that meeting in brussels is europe any closer to agreeing a common migration policy for addressing the issue of migration the sign from paying turkey to hold migrants back. what both been hearing a lot not only in the situation at the greek supporter but also in the last couple of years is that we have to secure our e.u. external borders face not only of hearing that from e.u. officials but also from e.u.

member states that this seems to be like a sort of man for it is repeated all over again. at the turkish border that meant for example that more frontex border guards were to avoid worse deployed there but in central we're still waiting for a new use addition to the migrant crisis there still exists or here's a mechanism for example because some countries like poland and like hungary are retracting to take in my current saddle well greece is on the front line of this current crisis hosting thousands of migrants in temporary camps but the poor will conditions can greece expect any help from its fellow e.u. member states in coping with that situation. germany another a member says for example france have agreed on taking in some of the kids that are living in these camps for example have more on less force what the situation is is really bad. so many unaccompanied minors but many critics here in

brussels say that you could have done that a lot earlier and or se you countries it's not only because of the situation of the greek the greek turkish border now escalating that they now take this decision to to do. the thing also is that the e.u. has already paid $100.00 hundreds of millions of yours to support greek when it comes to migration and now with the situation escalating at the turkish greek border they have allocated in another 700000000 yours half of it immediately to support greece there. but with a mechanism with no mechanism to distribute migrants of course countries with excess of borders likes greece have the biggest burden that's clear marina thank you very much that was marina strauss in brussels. russia's state duma is beginning work on constitutional changes russian president

vladimir putin proposed last month he said they address the needs of a changing country but critics fear their intended to give way to stay in power even after he leaves office. it's been 20 years since russian president vladimir putin took up residency in the kremlin and in that time he shaped the country like few before him but the country's constitution legally allow him to retain power the end of his current term so it may come as no surprise that that constitution may now have to change. the country with his proposal during his state of the nation address. expanded powers for parliament new entrance hurdles for candidates for president and the interim meant of a new governing body the state council and the constitution. sweeping changes with little forewarning. equally unexpected the snap resignation of prime minister

dimitri and his government ostensibly to pave the way for reforms. the speed and fury with which these amendments are being rushed through parliament combined with the surprise resignation of the head of some to compare this to an intelligence operation one designed to sow confusion and uncertainty and give president putin the ability to retain power by moving to a new position within the russian government. russia's fractured opposition seems to have been caught on the back foot and observers say the confusion is intentional . giving putin's allies room to maneuver as his constitutional term approaches it's . these amendments essentially did not change anything this is what is most strange. it was in the position of the constitutional court but they do not change anything in the system of. this is a heap of strange absurd norms which even the authorities concretely explain the.

cracks in the system that's what observers here in moscow say these amendments create cracks that russian president vladimir putin could use to hold on to power either as prime minister as head of the state council or even from within parliament itself it's now up to that body to make a decision one that could affect the future of russia for years to come. this is news and these are our top stories that italy has extended its emergency and. coronavirus measures to cover the whole country prime minister just said that from tuesday morning travel restrictions would apply nationwide while all sporting events will be called on. germany has confirmed its 1st 2 deaths from the coronavirus german health minister is now calling for events with more than 1000 participants to be cancelled in order to help stop. the virus spreading. u.s.
