a deadly bus that put the international spotlight on violence against women in the country. i'm told me a lot of well welcome to the program. is really is reporting more deaths from corona virus than any other nation in the world including china the original epicenter of the pandemic at least $3405.00 people have now died from the virus in italy the country has recorded over 41000 infections the region alone body is the worst hit so many people have died then recent days that symmetries on no longer able to cope. they've had to call in the army to help move the dead. this is the worst hit area of what is now the country with the most covert 19 dead. and its least lombardy region.

those trying to help the living are struggling to cope. well working in a state a very high stress and tension psychological stress has gone through the roof unfortunately we can't contain the situation in lombardy there's a high level of contagion and we're not even counting the dead anymore. look at the news that's coming out of italy and take note of what the situation really is like it's unimaginable. my best to you all let's keep smiling and stay strong you know he said. i will simply die for it. and those who are looking after the dying are desperate. greatest problem which is emerging these days i would say is that the patients

can't be visited by their relatives and often die on their own. we've started a service in which we contact relatives on the phone to explain to them what is happening so there is at least some contact patients who are able to can call themselves but the older patients aren't able to because they just aren't used to it so we try and keep in contact with the family. as is sleaze corona crisis exploded chinese officials who seem to have their side of the pandemic under control sent medical teams and equipment to help. yet the chinese red cross says their hard won advice is not being heated in italy. right know i'm discovering many of the problems of locking down the city here in the city of milan which is in the hardest a region you don't have

a very strict lockdown policy the public transport is still working and people are still moving around and you're still having dinners and parties in hotels and you're not wearing masks. italian streets are empty but for many there haunted by the prospect of more army trucks and more bodies. elsewhere in europe spain and france have also recorded a shop arise in the number of cases spain's death toll stands at more than 760 with over 17000 infections both countries of introduced strict measures to stop the spread of the virus the french parliament convened in a restrictive format on thursday to pass emergency laws there too there was a stark reminder that no one is immune from getting sick.

a coughing fit left a lasting impression as france's polman to baited emergency coronavirus measures while much of the discussion concerned mosque's no one in the room or one this week's lockdown comes 2 months after the 1st cases of the virus appeared in france the government is facing harsh criticism that it was a bad idea i knew was also admitted that the former minister of health alerted you in january to the coming to zoster why did you not inform us of this why then did you not implement the necessary measures. france's on day 3 of an imposed lockdown with citizens ordered to remain inside their homes. empty streets in france empty plazas in spain is the 2nd worst hit country in the year. you can see their uniforms under the hazmat suits but these are soldiers brought in

under the country's state of emergency. disinfecting transport hubs places where people gather and the risk of transmission is high up in london's famous chub system also feared to be a virus hotspot authorities are closing 40 stations. britain is also setting up a series of temporary morgues around the country they're being located in the worst affected areas as a precaution. it comes as people flock to supermarkets to stock up on supplies. we think is probably the last time that they actually be out and so we've got to shopping trolleys in order to get as much as possible to market down to all probably most we've been away for 2 months then we came back yesterday to a completely empty cupboard so we can claim for yesterday couldn't even get milk.

people apparently came no they. didn't tell me we wouldn't have pulled this year no we appeared to get what we want. while there's no official lockdown in place people are getting ready to lock themselves in. the trumpet ministration has increased its already die a travel warning for americans as a coronavirus pandemic worsens the state department has issued a new alert urging americans not to travel abroad and that any circumstances but also says americans should arrange to return to the u.s. midget me unless they plan to remain overseas previously they were told to come to quote reconsider international travel. our 4 men have been executed for a brutal gang rape that made international headlines and spock's massive protests in india demand one hand at dawn and

a delhi prison to the indian supreme court upheld their death sentences for rape and it's been more than 7 years since they attacked a 23 year old student in the city setting off a nationwide outcry about violence against women the victim died of injuries after being tortured during the attack. correspondent when you're a child rejoins us now from daddy and there are the executions went ahead after a last minute appeals were turned down was the public pressure simply too great for any clemency. well tommy i had the 2012 gang rape case in which it's ready theodore woman was gang raped and who died of injuries did lead to a massive outrage across the country it generated a lot of international and national coverage thousands of people across the country took to the seats so yes the public pressure was pretty strong and today this morning at 530 the fork on the exit you did they will hand out to as you mentioned

the last minute many they had exhausted all the need for them indeed which were available to them the parents of the victim who later came to be known as neighbor which means feel is have welcomed the exit usually they say that they have finally gotten justice up to 7 long years but then that is another section of people who question whether the capital punishment can actually add of that event or even be considered as justice. how much has changed for women in india since this this killing the shocking killing unleashed the wave of protests. well since the incident happened a lot of schemes have been introduced by the government to ensure women safety and security including introducing amendments to the laws which deal with sexual assault and rape cases what little us to the supreme court which is the gap explored in india said that these changes in the laws have been treated much as

also the government data has shown that the nearby us funds which were which are funds which were introduced to support campaigns and initiated for women set in and saved 90 percent of these funds nearly 90 percent of these funds have not been used yet by the time that the national crime records bureau the it all to show that the conviction rate and reap cases is still quite low which is 27.2 per cent so there are initiatives and there are schemes to raise awareness about the how women should be considered equal to men and about their security and safety but a lot more needs to be done for women to actually start feeling safe outside their home. ok. in delhi we'll leave it there for now thank you. the attack led to tie to rape laws in india but me such a mistake and sexist attitudes are much more difficult to change the report and the missions as well meant one group that is trying to alter that. this is not

a usual school day for 7th grade thing. the questions he's being asked are more open ended than usual a man should have to final say in every decision made in the house the trainer says he has to choose do you agree do you disagree or are you one decided. the 12 year old boys run to their corners. one group says both parents should have equal say. a few others say the older wiser one should hesitantly indicating the man. there are no wrong answers. the goal of the session is to provide an open platform to talk about the notions of sex and gender that these boys have grown up but topics that are rarely broach the trainer follows up with simple question. is bearing children the only role of

a woman. is it physically possible for women to do the work that men do. ajeet has been attending these sessions for 3 months now he says he has learned a lot about the importance of equality at home at work and in school. i want to tell my father that he should never be involved with my mother and i can do my share of the chores at home just like my sister. got it there's a lot of. this is what the center for equal to going to include the ngo that runs the sessions is hoping for. that engaging boys at this age will encourage empathy and respect in the long run. i've got so much to learn today the boys are talking about the unpaid work of their mothers the need for women to participate in decision making and for men to help out at home and this is an important 1st step. change will be an uphill task while many men and women rallied to strengthen

india's laws on rape. there has been a backlash by those why did that the new rules now discriminate against men the. men are being wrongfully accused under these a little bit is it wrong but towards like there is a women's commission here we need a men's commission true that. new rules are good but they're very often misused in most cases the women take on jew advantage. there yup in my life. even those who are innocent or sometimes hold out for their needs to be stronger investigations and protections for men. the aswell says them starts only. as the boys and girls keep to themselves their notions of the other can be heavily biased. in another school the workshops are just beginning the boys are calling out the differences between men and women men can wear what they like

women must come home on time men can endure more pain women don't enter politics. between oth but is a woman physically unable to do any of these things. slowly but surely the perceived differences are starting to disappear you know. in motor racing formula one has now postponed all the grand prix shuttle in may pushing back the start of the season to june at the earliest formula one and the sport's governing body put the dutch spanish and monaco grand prix on hold to ensure the health and safety of the teams and fans the march 15th season opening australian grand prix in melbourne was already cancelled the 1st race in june is that as of a john grand prix in back on the sevens. you're watching the news i'm told me on logic in but next up is a documentary film about how the great scott city of water is posing
