has called the outbreak a war 100000 police officers have been deployed across the country officials stress that every day life must be appended to contain the virus. but we do nick his example concrete to give you some examples a family lunch dinner with friends a football game with friends a game of cards all of that which might not seem important normally is now for that has not only ill advised but forbidden each of those meetings let's not play it down is a moments when the virus can be transmitted it means running the risk of speeding the spread of 19. in the capital paris an unusual quiet has taken hold reactions to the lockdown are mixed i think it's a bit too strict. should be able to walk on the streets if you want people to be to

choose what they want. bashings question is he said i think it's necessary it's an epidemic that's spreading exponentially so is the contamination there are many asymptomatic carriers i could be one of them. the health ministry says the restrictions could be eased in a fortnight if the virus is sufficiently contained. a straight to to the french capital where we join journalist to catherine field welcome catherine tell us more about people's reactions to this lockdown. will feel a lot of people are just taking it on the chin and realizing that they have to be responsible about that ringing said police and harrison says how some $150.00 checkpoints are mostly on the exits a paris to check people see whether they are really going harm or just going out and shopping we've got some 3000 police patrolling the capital also checking to see

reaching saturation point and they're just hoping that that promise that the president emanuel makram made last night when he said that the army would come into that region and set up military field hospitals that that will come sooner rather than later because they really are struggling meanwhile here in paris they're saying that it's tough but they're still on top of it but what's worrying them are the large numbers of people who are coming and who are younger than 60 years old a lot of people had thought this virus only affected older people but there's a lot of younger people coming in and there is concern to go ok so that's that's the health impact let's talk about the money what's being done to lessen the economic impact. 2 strings here on the one hand you have got what the ministry of finance announced this morning it was that 45000000 euros going to be put aside to help companies through this next couple of weeks and they're only giving them money make sure they can keep operating and make sure they complete start you start may

still be at home governments also said that companies won't have to pay for the time being paid their gas electricity and water those the minister of finance also said unfortunately that france will probably go into recession now but he had some very comforting words for companies he said that if need be france will nationalize firms if it comes to that and that comes on top and a big bundle of money are you 300000000000 euros that emanuel macron the president said yesterday would be made available to make sure that the country just doesn't fall apart he cannot please both of them the minister of finance and the president said the money will be there don't worry if france sticks together if one stays home and nobody loses their head say france can get through this next 2 weeks i catherine field in paris thank you thank you. from france to germany where the country's disease control agency is raising its coronavirus risk

heiko must announced another unprecedented measure a travel warning for the entire planet he said no unnecessary trips should be made in addition the government will provide $50000000.00 euros so german citizens currently abroad can come home. ministry of foreign affairs has agreed on a unique program with commercial airlines which will bring back german travelers from particularly affected areas within the next few days but we are talking above all about iraq oh the dominican republic the philippines egypt and the maltese in coordination with us airlines will make flights available for the. flu. on monday drastic steps were announced to beat the virus shutting many shops apart from essential businesses such as food stores and pharmacies civic life is shutting

down schools the actors and museums are being closed nationwide chancellor merkel germans to stay at home but strict controls on movement as in france have not been imposed so far on the things muslim is known these measures are unprecedented in our country and they are severe but they are necessary. when limiting close contact will reduce the number of people falling ill which in turn will reduce the number of severe cases as even children's playgrounds are deserted many parents are having to stay at home to look after their families the government is offering them extra support that's just here for endings in what we're seeing is that many families are wondering about money issues they want to know how to deal with a drop in income this is a huge concern it's not a private matter it needs to be resolved and the state has to help itself that if

you're interested. politicians continue to search for the right responses to this rapidly evolving crisis machall and the other e.u. leaders will come together to discuss it later on tuesday by video link. well schools the day care centers around the world. closing as authorities try to slow the spread of the coronavirus workers in certain essential professions such as medical staff or reporting for work as more extreme measures are introduced many parents have been wondering how to explain the virus to their children norwegian prime minister held a special coronavirus briefing only for children to try and answer their questions why am i not allowed to celebrate my birthday. they are for the it's because many people should not be gathered in order to prevent people from being infected or you can look at actual creativity out there and try to celebrate your face time with them or think of another way to celebrate you think it's good. to fail

a bunch of things yet i think that if someone in the class has a birthday all the others should call and sing a birthday song individually to have something to do. so how should we talk to our children about this pandemic dr rudd came as a child a clinical psychologist from the u.k. university of southampton and she consulted on the parenting book what's my child thinking welcome to you dr many parents have instincts of trying to shield their children not just from the virus but also from all the bad news about is that the right approach. it depends really i mean you don't want to shield them and pretend nothing is happening because children are very very clever and they figure out that things aren't quite the same as they usually are but you do want to overload it with too much information either because children think things differently to adults and they worry about different things so whereas they may not need to know that biochemistry of how current viruses past pesantren and what they

do want to know is like you showed when i was going to my dentist and when i said we have to go my school trips so we need to give them enough information that they understand a little bit about what is going on but they don't need to know as much as we do adults right and the reality of the situation is often when schools are closed or when the kids are not at school that go to their grandparents to be looked after. how do we explain to children that that's not happening this time without sort of warning them that granny is going to die. yes and by explaining this is an illness that seems to particularly. hit a lot of people and people at risk so you want to protect granny and grandad from getting ill and reassure them that granting grandet are doing everything they can to stay safe and if you can stay in touch through skype to face time we can even write letters to them but that we might not see them for a little while if your child asks well is does that mean grandad's going to die we

need to be very honest with our children and not make promises that we can't keep so you don't want to say of course he won't because you know we just don't know so you need to say what we're doing everything we can to keep granddad safe and chances are he's going to be absolutely fine and we just need to know how much we still think about him even if we can't see him so use a lot for children taking and children tend to take their emotion from parents if you are very anxious as a parent chances are your child's going to also feel very anxious see go try and stay very logical and rational as much as possible when you're with your children and don't let them watch too much news tonight than this into the news too much either just that they only get the information they need but i think that's that's very clear thank you so much of that a read can. of southampton. take a look at some more of the latest coronavirus developments iran has temporarily freed $85000.00 prisoners including political day detainees in response to

a pandemic the north macedonians perspire and its general election shadow for the 12th of april balance planning a special hospital for patients with covered 19 with a capacity to treat a 1000 patients and will have a chinese city where the virus was 1st detected reported just one new locally transmitted case on tuesday. another 20 cases were reported in the rest of china however but all thoughts you say be nice can all be traced to people returning from abroad the city of who has announced that all overseas return he's must now go into quarantine for 14 days the 1st group of medical workers deployed to one of the heights of the epidemic is now leaving they've been supporting temporary hospitals after more than a month more than $42000.00 health care workers from across china have been dispatched to the region since the virus outbreak began and their departure comes as chinese authorities begin to claim victory over the pandemic. china has fought

the coronavirus with unified strength and the crisis will soon be over at least that's according to the daily stream of news from china's state television the drastic measures undertaken by the chinese government at the beginning of the crisis have flipped to a drop in new infections and said well there's not going to work equally well everywhere and i think the goals aren't the same either i mean the draconian measures that china instigated have allowed it. but at least for the time being but the experts here in europe start talking about containment actually a couple of weeks ago at this point it's all about mitigation now a lot and we're seeing in countries like italy and spain and france there are attempts at mitigation they're just trying to slow down this virus enough to keep the health system from kind of being completely overwhelmed and it sounds like actually like italy in particular is it's right on the edge of that interestingly as we just heard in a replication of

a measure that helped china 5 officials here in berlin announce the destruction of this new hospital today with a 1400 favorite virus patients ok just in some other coronavirus related news that the world health organization is warning us against taking ibuprofen if we think we have a corona virus why. well this is actually kind of an interesting story i mean like many of the people than the german speaking world i received this this is what's out message over the weekend made exactly this claim from the young woman who said the university clinic in vienna had discovered this fact because there were no hard studies backing it up that was it was kind of being hushed up the university clinic quickly call that fake news but then a few hours later the french health minister basically issued a warning making the same claim now w.h.o. is also saying that there might be something to it so there's still no firm scientific evidence that i will profer does really indeed make virus infection

worse but the w.h.o. has decided to treat the matter with caution and it's recommending that people with copd 19 take paracetamol instead if you're in the united states that's what they call a c. the medicine i wear away all may development of a vaccine. well yesterday there was a nonsense of a 1st attempt at human human testing and seattle which is a hot spot in the u.s. and to explain a little bit more about that i should probably quickly run through how vaccines work in general generally but it seems the way that they work is they stimulate an immune response in the by giving me a new system to recognize these very highly specific proteins that are displayed on a target have the germans our servants so a classic vaccine is generally made us who we can urge and that have vision that it's displaying no specific proteins or sometimes it's made only those specific

proteins right so the problem is growing and resists on a large scale or producing vital proteins on mars you know takes really a lot of time and it takes a lot of resources now this new vaccine candidate is what's called an r.n.a. vaccine or any molecules containing the instructions for producing by will proteins and they're much simpler to make then those final proteins are are you can actually be produced synthetically you can you can print it with machines that are special printer so classes that seem to have to be grown right and so basically the difference is that instead of growing because that seems a vaccine manufacturing facility which is a very time intensive process we've already vaccine you're basically printing instructions on how to make those proteins and then you're injecting a dozen structures into the body and getting the body to manufacture the proteins for you that theoretically at least makes a who also a little safer than a classic vaccine so but the experts are still saying that even with this rapid

deployment of this trial vaccine it's still going to take at least a year probably more like a year and a half before we have a viable vaccine can. date on new sites thank you. to the world of sport which has also been hit hard by of a pandemic european football's governing body as confirmed that the euro 2020 told it will be postponed until next year it's also put all other men's and women's competitions on hold life has been holding meetings with clubs and associations that today it hopes of postponing euro 2020 means domestic leagues will be able to play into the main complaint this season's minimizing the financial impact. from jonathan crane from. jonathan so. if a decision in a nutshell what's behind it well i think they've basically realised such

a tournament in the current climate is totally unrealistic they've seen the piling up of fixtures in the domestic leagues they've said it's more important to help the domestic leagues try to finish the season i think they want to ease the burden on the countries that were due to host this tournament they were chance in 2021. on the 11th of june to the 11th of july now as we said his decision followed 2 video conferences today one with clubs and leaks the other with the 55 member associations president alexander. praised the solidarity shared by everyone because this was. easy decision now it's all going to be about the detail the way for has set up a working group that will look at how the football calendar is going to look going forward and also assess the financial consequences of phoning such a tournament and so where does this leave clubs and leagues around europe well primarily it does give them the chance to finish the season we've seen how the

current virus has caused all major european leagues including the bonus league that's a grind. and see will the competitions be finished what will happen with promotions and relegations and what about players whose contract. today we have in the head of the german football. christian syphon he sort of about how a football in germany alone employs $56000.00 people so imagine all the onsets and see for them millions hundreds of millions of euros or so at stake for clubs and t.v. revenue now of course spotting a euro 2020 does give a bit more breathing space the domestic leagues could play into may and june but it depends really on how the coronavirus develops itself and that's the big question mark what about some of the other competitions just take place well as we said at the top competitions now on hold on hold that includes the champions league and europa league cup for america which is the national competition for south america that's also been postponed for 2021 but of course this is now causing a pile up of tournament as well the women's euros would you take place next year in

london from july the 7th to talk now from members say stations that they will be moved to 2022 that's not the only clash they. will be competing with thief next year if the 4 holds its club world cup that is jenny infantino his pet project so a lot of discussions between organizations need to take place one silver lining potentially that the world cup that would normally take place in june july 2020 will take place in november because of the weather so that gives some free time maybe in that summit to play some of these tournament i've been postponed i think we need a spreadsheet i think you are a complicated. data thank you you're welcome. well the deputy head of japan's olympic committee has revealed that he's tested positive for corona virus closer to news came as tokyo 2020 organizers announced plans to scale back parts of the torch relay is a try to limit this virus is spread plans include canceling some events and
