year. i'm filled welcome to the program. italy has expanded its response to the corona virus outbreak by locking down the entire country restrictions were originally placed in regions in the north of the country now they are nationwide italians have been told they should only move around for water and health needs or in emergencies that also need to carry documents declaring their reasons for travel more than 1000 people are infected in somalia and more than 460 of die. a rare sight in rome the coliseum with few visitors it was so silent you could almost hear the ancient romans cheering on their favorite gladiators modern day romans seemed

willing to accept the government's anti-virus lock down if we're gratefully. i've seen the government directives they are quite precise they must be followed and everything must be done to ensure that they are respected. if. i live here and it's always full of people but this morning there's no one it's not noise this reality. the government's measures to restrict people to all but essential travel commuting for work is allowed if people have documentation proving it's necessary the measures will stay in place until at least the 3rd of april as he announced the national lockdown italy's prime minister had a message for young people. i'm about to sign a decree that we can sum up with the expression i stay at harm.

we understand that young people want to social laws. we've seen the images photographs with the not life is the fun way people drinking outside. it's no longer possible for us to allow this because of the risk of infection. across town in the vatican pope francis urged catholic priests to have the courage to go out and help those afflicted with the coronavirus perhaps he had seen the photo of a nurse exhausted by the battle against the disease the picture has gone viral on social media. let's go straight to the capitol then when we join a journalist meghan b. need to fozzy welcome meghan how is this lockdown affecting daily life that in russia. so i just went out this morning and i think outside of the weird strange mix of life as usual and eerie silence because people are avoiding going outside

and stay quiet the shops are closed because of the non-essential goods so that supermarkets are open long queues outside the supermarkets because people are. the only people allowed in at the time but transport is still running people also going to so walking their dog. but then attending the safety distance i've noticed people are not really socializing not talking to each other so much ok so people are still leaving the house they are still going to work life is going on. yes we can you can leave but a lot of went to large stores like basically saw in the few bars and restaurants that have store open are only allowed to be open from 6 am and sicked of 6 pm but people must respect the distance of one meter. and also shops only letting people in at a time small shops so and. bars

clubs have all been closed because so it's not quite normal but people are getting on with it what do health professionals think of this move. so healthcare that the health care system is under enormous pressure especially in an hour when most of the cases are in number the especially not for. long but he has one of the best health care systems but only 650 intensive care units and we have more than 700 intensive care patients in the region so this is putting enormous pressure on them. by making the whole of italy. a red zone if causing some computer because people are getting more worried going to the hospital more so people so i've been speaking to doctors who are if this is going to cause all the hard. doctors already really of all act has been a picture that's been going around of a nasty could in one eye in london the who had

a very large ship that you kind of just taking an hour passed out on a death doctors been wracking 3 for days at a time without any rest or so. and the worry is also that when the disease spread the virus spreads to the south it will be hard for the health care system just to go there because it's far less equipped then that hospitals in the north of your beds fewer intensive care unit. was locked down being and sourced you're not allowed to travel without a good reason or else. or else we actually thought there's a bit of confusion. there some people checks i saw the train station today there are people checking to see if you have the document but the document is only itself to be cation so it's up to you to write you have a good reason and so far i don't think that it's being checked out because this is the 1st few days but for example i had that there was a funeral today. although not allowed so bodies are being buried all started

at least. in sicily those of you know people and there is paying a fine of $200.00 euro each or even going to jail. talking to you for joining us trying to stay safe we're going to be any different you know in russia thank you. germany has recorded its 1st death from the coronavirus 2 victims died in the western state of north rhine-westphalia when around 50 percent of german cases are located in the country is also imposed its 1st mass quarantine in a small town not far from my teachers at a school that had contact with a woman who later tested positive for the virus the federal health ministry has called for all gatherings of more than a 1000 people to be counselled across the country this is advisory both of them mandatory the government is also agreed an aid package for businesses. more on the german response to this new political correspondent simon you know

welcome simon so we've just heard it's really entirely under lockdown but the german response telling people to wash their hands and advising attend against attending a big government that seems much more restrained are they under-estimating this. well i don't think so phil i think they're watching it day by day and trying to take the response that's appropriate as you say we have 2 confirmed coronavirus deaths in germany more than a 1000 confirmed cases in the government says that it expects that number to rise coronavirus e's now in every german state and as you mentioned the real concentration is in the western states of north rhine-westphalia so the government says that it's real focus is on protecting the health care system protecting the ability of the health care system to continue to respond as the virus spreads its

as it expects there's also been some focus on the economy we've heard from the economy minister peter out maia today saying that he is basically written off the possibility of economic growth in the 1st half of this year and he wants to protect businesses but he's also saying the government rather is also announced a 1000000000 euros of extra measures for 4 to respond to this crisis and a quick word dan simon about the practical measures being enforced here in germany the precautions one of they saying we should and should not do well i mean all the usual messages about hand washing and avoiding large crowds as you said there was a recommendation from the health ministry to cancel large events with more than a 1000 participants some of the regional states like north rhine-westphalia and bavaria have effectively banned those that'll affect things like bundesliga football matches many of which may go ahead in virtually empty stadiums but also

big trade fairs like the tourism fair here in berlin and a big literary festival in cologne these have been canceled and it's likely that many more such events will be affected in the same way home a simon young political correspondent thank you. well here's a look at some of the other coronavirus developments around the world will start in iran which has announced $54.00 new corona related deaths its highest daily death toll australia has closed its borders to italy chancellor sebastian could says only people with a doctor's certificate will be allowed to enter the country denmark says flights from areas severely hit by coronavirus will not be allowed to land spain's parliament has been suspended for a week after lawmakers tested positive schools in the capital madrid have also been closed. that williams from d. w. science is here with the latest on the race to find a cure or indeed

a vaccine welcome derreck scientists researchers around the world are looking at various how far have they got at looking at a vaccine do you mean well the vaccine is actually at least it looks at least 18 months down the road they are testing and looking at sort of various antivirals that were developed for other diseases for example one that was developed in the fight against you both. that they hope might actually also have some effect on the new coronavirus because it's been proven to have such show some activity against stars and murderers in in some testing but that's also still a little bit farther down the road at the moment there is no vaccine and that's really one of the greatest worries with with this particular outbreak with the epidemic is that is that in the past if you have a vaccine that you can vaccinate your health care workers with so the frontline people then you can also also help a bait things without losing those people quickly it's losing those people in the

course of an epidemic that might prove to be really critical in this particular case and how health measures like we've heard school closures in banning a large gatherings of a useful in preventing the spread i listen to podcasts on by one of germany's lead just on exactly this topic it's very interesting actually because he was very much of the opinion that that closing schools actually doesn't really help that much because what happens when you close schools or preschools you send your child some the children home and what happens is that unless you've gone into lockdown like they did in china in italy the children are going to continue to move around what their parents going to do they're going to set up play groups because the kids aren't going to be able to go to school the older children are going to get together and hang out as well unless you try to enlist you actually actively stop at the his opinion was that what you're doing is you're doing damage to the economy because you're forcing their parents to stay at home and at the same to. you're not really doing that much to spread to halt the spread of the virus she says is

clearly a complicated decisions to be taken there is of course a lots of advice out there about what to do to avoid infection so let's have a look at the dutch prime minister mark rota of that moment from now we're stopping shaking hands you can shoot feet touch elbows as you wish to schools i see all sorts of proud to go variance but from now on no moshe king hams. actually sorry so we can't do us any more no no over it's over. it's over for. the month of the beer. ok so we can have a laugh but there's a serious point there isn't it williams that even if given that even the people giving out the advice can't stick to it 100 percent you have to ask yourself are all these measures just delaying the inevitable are we all going to see sickness on a huge scale where it is nice to see a light note in the midst of all of this with following this for a couple months and they've been far too few of them. i think that right now the

authorities certainly here in germany are preparing for not what's called containment which is that which was the hope and the w.h.o. still hasn't given up hope of containment but of are looking much more in pretty much more energy into mitigation which means that they're preparing for the onset they're saying right now at this point major leading experts are saying we can expect this. epidemic to peak in germany sometime probably between june and august they're also saying a sobering news from harvard from a still unpublished or still unclear reviewed study that came out of harvard that actually that what's called the temperature effect on the virus which as the temperature effect means that as the season grows warmer certain coronaviruses don't really like that flu viruses don't like it is like either they prefer a cold or temperature so you see this dip you know as we've least flu season they're saying that it's looking like that might not actually happen people have been really been banking on that and so we could very well see things are definitely going to get worse very possibly

a whole lot more worse before they get better and i don't really miss from d.w. signs thank you. for all the latest on the current agreement but we are not passing amendments for a year or so or even for a decade i hope that they will be in power over a longer historic perspective. let least 30 to 50 years time. and in such a long run people must have guaranteed was that regular changes of power prosecutor would look at them and we need to think of the future generation of this so i don't think it's worth removing the number of presidential terms from the constitution. all right let's go straight to moscow they were. really showing welcome emily a bold move another bold move i should say from vladimir putin just talk us through what these changes are likely to mean. well what these changes seem to be doing is essentially pressing the reset button

on presidential terms that's if they pass in the duma tomorrow and also if the constitutional court approves them which doesn't seem likely at the moment at the moment putin wouldn't be able to run for another term in 2024 he's already serving his 2nd of 2 consecutive terms which is all the current constitution allows him to do if he does run in 2024 again which seems very very likely at the moment then that could mean he could stay with these new changes in power until 3036 and it seems likely from what we saw today that that is the intention of letting their put an end of the establishment as well this whole performance today was very stage managed and he presented himself again as the guarantor of stability but also as somewhat of a liberal. so the president saying that these changes also address the needs of

a changing country stay with us and really as we look at putin got to this point. it's been 20 years since russian president vladimir putin took up residence in the kremlin and in that time he shaped the country like few before him but the country's constitutional not legally allow him to retain power 1st the end of his current term so it may come as no surprise that that constitution may no have to change. president putin blindsided the country with his proposal during his state of the nation address. expanded powers for parliament new entrance rules for candidates for president and the interim ment of a new governing body the state council and the constitution so sweeping changes with little forewarning. equally unexpected the snap resignation of prime minister dmitry medvedev and his government. to pave the way for reforms. the speed and

fury with which these amendments are being rushed to parliament combined with the surprise resignation of. some to compare this to an intelligence operation 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 did not change anything in this system of power. this is a heap of strange absurd norms which even the authorities can't really explain. cracks in the system that's what. cracks that russian president vladimir putin

could use. either as prime minister from within parliament itself or by using the reform to effectively restart his term in office it's now up to members of parliament to make a choice one that could determine the fate of russia for years to come. president putin's plan seems to be what. he wouldn't mind what comes next. well and now seems clear that the mere putin does intend to stay on as president rather than in one of those other roles though he will have to run again for that for that role in 2024 what happens next is that tomorrow there will be another reading of the bill on the amendments to this constitution in the duma today and the 2nd reading of the bill it passed with a huge moderate majority that's likely to happen again tomorrow and then the main

thing to watch out for is a public vote that is set to take place in april on the constitutional amendments on the one hand people say that it's essential e a rubber stamp that it will be pretty much clear what changes are going to be made by then but on the other hand. the kremlin will be watching out for turnout because that vote is seen as kind of a litmus test on people's trust of letting their putin himself and really show him in moscow thank you. move. over a year ago today if you had lines flight 83 o 2 crossed shortly after leaving leaving obvious ababa on route to nairobi or 157 people on board died and all planes of the same bottle of boeing 737 max were grounded around the world families of the victims who came from all 30 countries
