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. if. i'm about to sign a decree that we can sum up with the expression i stay at harm. we understand that young people who want to socialize. we've seen the images photographs with the not life is the fun way people drinking outside.

there accuse outside of supermarkets you get tickets in order to be able to go inside you have to wait and so your number comes up that's to allow people to keep this one meter distance inside the supermarkets. as well as a notice to be quiet so there may well be far fewer tourists around and one take difference even in the south of it to me now is the number of people who are going around wearing the face masks and gloves as well to try and protect themselves so it has been quite a substantial change down here as well and how is it being infosys you are meant to stay indoors otherwise waltz what's the or else. there's not too much so they all are out is still a question as to how this can be enforced and see if you're if you're trying to travel over longer distances and you're going to train stations or you're coming across the authority that's when you have to be able to prove that you are that it's necessary for you to travel so you have to provide some documentation out to be able to say i need to move to work or i need to move from my home because i have

to buy vital supplies or attend a medical appointment and there's actually quite a few people still out and about milling around shops in cafes on the streets here in naples here locally there is no real way of enforcing it it's more a plea from the office or it's used to make children people stay home to try and help contain the virus as much as possible what to tourists and that many tourists does naples expect to see many tourists as has there been a decline in numbers. there's been a decline i don't have any official figures but just being able to tell you myself and being out on the streets today isn't a comparison to 5 days ago there are fewer tourists on the streets it's very difficult to be a tourist at the moment and if they absolutely don't own the government has closed all pretty much all national monuments to congress because pump a is closed to lamia. so one of these sites that people would like to visit the shows obviously with voting there there's no real life nightlife going on anymore

and it's very difficult to move around to different areas so as a tourist besides the weather which we've had taken day which has been quite nice. there isn't very much to enjoy it's all so as a tourist still coming to a flight still arriving. airlines are beginning to cancel flights saying that they're not going to put any more until it's really the tourists who actually can be moved on to earlier flights to make sure that they get tourist off still able to move around towards affluence and ways to get home they have a right to repatriate them selves. but in terms of coming to it's only the german government many other governments is saying all but absolutely necessary travel is ill advised and you shouldn't do it remembers what the italian government is saying you should move around the country shouldn't try to go from region to region unless it's absolutely necessary good talking to. you.

well coronavirus is set to cause unprecedented disruption to german football with 7 matches being played without fans the 1st time it's going to hit one of the biggest clashes in the bundesliga dobby between the dortmund and shell which will not take place behind closed doors on saturday before that blood bath will play cologne tomorrow also in an empty stadium. german football is known for attracting a sea of supporters last week some fans of gladbach took precautions against the coronavirus but the same seats will be empty during their next home match against rival cologne setting a historical precedent for the top flight in germany. 15 minutes primarily affects the found respect of course it will also hit him and. since most you can imagine there are financial consequences if you will have to see whether it's just going to be for this game or whether it's going to affect more games what is the next stage

answers to those questions are left up to local health authorities and german football stadium seats over 50000 and the club says it's set to lose an estimated 2000000 euros in revenue for their upcoming match under the circumstances fans forced to miss the action understand the idea of safety 1st. on the one hand i think that's good for people's health. i think you have to make sure that safety comes 1st for people. games will unfortunately get cancelled and this is already the case in italy games without fans are already planned. don't miss home match against show arguably the league's biggest rivalry will be without the $80000.00 spectators normally on hair and the good clubs alex burke and byron munich both in germany's bavaria region won't have fans at their next home matches either now many fans are wondering just how long the coronavirus

will continue to disrupt football in germany. a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world european union leaders and the turkish president have agreed to review the way they manage migrants. he signed an agreement in 2016th the president believes that should be updated to reflect developments in northern syria government forces are advancing on the last strongholds forcing more civilians to flee. 2 months after hosting the summer some of the libya conflicts germany's chancellor hosted libya's eastern. here in birthday i do america reiterated the importance of a ceasefire and the political solution during talks gen canby for half done and the rebel forces have been fighting the un backed libyan government for control of the capital tripoli since april. protesters have taken to brazil's streets for

but mr putin would be allowed to run again by effectively pressing the reset button after his current term ends in 2024 and we just. 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. at least 30 to 50 years time. and in such a long run people must have guaranteed with the regular changes of power well secured because in them we need to think of the future generation of us so i don't think it's worth removing the number of presidential terms from the constitution let's get more on this from didn't lose a really show in moscow welcome relief listening to the president talk that it almost sounds reasonable what do these changes mean well these measures essentially if they are passed and if the constitutional court

here in russia proves them they mean they they mean a kind of reset button for presidential terms here in russia after all president putin is currently in his 2nd of 2 consecutive terms his term in office and in 2024 and according to the current constitution he can't run again after that now these measures could remove that hurdle and could mean that he can run again in 2024 now we just heard him saying that he doesn't want term limits to be gotten rid of overall but essentially since he started his term in office people have been discussing what will happen next and when he announced constitutional changes in january everyone has been here experts have been theorizing about what that could mean for putin himself what role he could take on and it seems that he does want to stay president in what observers here have been calling a kind of sting operation to keep him in power so what comes next.

well in the short term essentially tomorrow there's going to be another final 3rd reading of the constitutional amendments in the lower house of parliament then those amendments go to the people in april that's what the something to look out for a popular vote is going to be taking place 50 percent of people have to approve the constitutional amendments for them to come into power and apparently according to his observers turnout will be very important to their people here have been saying you know we know pruett putin is going to be staying in power anyway who cares so the kremlin's main job now is to get people to the ballot boxes in april to show them that it's important that they have their say because this vote this upcoming vote on those constitutional amendments is also being seen as a kind of litmus test on how popular president putin is exhaust in moscow.
