long body in the north of the country is the west hit so many people have died today in recent days that cemeteries are no longer able to cope and doctors issuing urgent appeals for help. italy is racing against time to provide more intensive care beds like this here in rome the newly built columbus coded to unit is already taking patients and more dedicated hospitals are on the way officials fear the dire situation italy's north could soon start hitting self. on thursday italy's surge passed china as the country with the most current of ours did a monster in market remain ridges of army trucks transporting hundreds of coffins from the worst hit region of lombardi. as the death toll mounts those trying to help the living are struggling to cope. i must say. where working in a state of very high stress and tension psychological stress has gone through the

roof unfortunately we can't contain the situation in mumbai. there's a high level of contagion and we're not even counting the dead anymore. and the strict lockdown has left the most vulnerable patients all alone. 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. as italy's corona crisis explodes china has sent medical teams and equipment to help but the chinese red cross says their hard won advice is not being heeded. here in the city of mobile one which is in the hardest hit 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 and hotels and you're not wearing masks. italian streets are empty but for many

haunted by the prospect of more army trucks and more bodies. infection spread to the united states most populous states california has advised its 40000000 citizens to stay at home except for essential jobs and errands and some exercise the announcement in california follows an extraordinary alert from the u.s. state department americans have been told not to travel out of the country under any circumstances citizens abroad should return to the u.s. immediately unless they plan to remain overseas. u.s. airports are grinding to a halt this empty airport in seattle reflects a nationwide attempt to curb furtive spreading of the coronavirus instructions to isolate are also becoming more urgent the most populous u.s. states california issued a stay a tall order starting thursday night. there's

a mutuality and there's a recognition of our interdependence that requires of this moment that we direct a state wide order for people to stay at home that directive goes into force in effect this evening and we were confident we are confident that the people the state of california well. according to officials over 50 percent of californians could be infected with the coronavirus within 2 months spring breakers around the country have been ignoring warnings to avoid large gatherings we do care about our concern. my thing is is that in one day we're going to be. in other u.s. states fires testing is being rolled out to provide a clearer picture of the scale of the outbreak in new york 6 drive through centers aim to test hundreds of people a day but officials have said there could be

a problem sourcing enough testing kits in houston texas drivers and passengers queued up for over 2 kilometers to get their swaps taken the mayor of the city says testing capacity is insufficient. there's not enough testing and. we hope to start tomorrow. the focus will be. some experts believe that the lack of from the fact of testing system has allowed the current of ours to spread i'm detected in the u.s. for weeks now. in washington all of us and now the u.s. is tightening controls to spread the cup and the state of california is even going a step further why has the governor of california decided to take such a. well this is all about flattening the curfew really about.

containing the outbreak of this virus monica and don't forget that the test in the united states just started this week and since then the numbers of corona cases have skyrocketed in fact a double just within 2 days we're now counting almost 14000 cases in the numbers will go up significantly higher as the tests continue here across the u.s. and california is one of the hot spots here with almost 1000 cases counted so far and get are you haven't you haven't you some that wrote a letter to president trump in saying that he expects that the numbers will go up even further that almost 60 percent of all californians will be infected within just 8 weeks if there are no drastic measures put in place and is also don't forget we're talking about the most populous states in the u.s. with 40000000 citizens now we've seen in other parts of the world also here in europe that people don't always it's here to such advice or enforcement so how will the order in california be enforced. yeah that's of course the crucial question

because there was a shelter in place order already in place for san francisco for l.a. and a lot of people ignored that and went on of all their everyday lives and that was the case also across the united states a very controversial issue here was the one of the spring breakers celebrating at the beaches of florida in spite of the ongoing pandemic but in spite of all of that govern use some said he believes it's not necessary to enforce this order he believes californians will simply comply because of social pressure and because of the mere existence of this order now going by those latest developments in the u.s. do you think said a move could force u.s. presidents to trump to change his stance on the crisis. well he's already changed right so just remember a couple days ago he was talking about the corona epidemic and comparing it like a flu it to a flu and then just a few days later calling

a nationwide state of emergency there are now plans of the white tells to spend one trillion u.s. dollars for aids. families are supposed to receive $1200.00 u.s. dollars so there's a lot of effort being made to help the people the u.s. government is preparing for 18 months ongoing pandemic and the big question is certainly will the testing that is underway help contain the pun demick contain the pandemic or are we going to see curfews like in california nationwide and all of us on the there reporting from washington thank you so much. now germany has so far not imposed a knock down but that could change the number of cases is climbing rapidly johns hopkins university says more than 15000 people have tested positive for the disease here 44 people have died earlier this week chance and i'm going to match appealed to germans to stay indoors to help slow the spread of the disease since then more and more senior figures say germany needs

a mandatory lock down one city has already taken that step. and the streets a sight freiburg will have to get used to house to the authorities announced a 2 week lockdown he's the 1st german city to water residents to stay and how. many are now asking themselves if the whole country could be stuck indoors soon including sarah and her friends who are out enjoying the sun together despite the appeals not to. is this push them best out i'm at this is mentally better don't get infected and hospitals are already overstretched but it's hard to imagine in a country with so many people like germany. who could so you don't thrilled that's absolutely not most of those gathering in the park no they shouldn't the fact they find hard to accept. in this residential area nearby many are staying at home but it's hard. to get i'm not doing well i'm going to cry.

and it might be because i can't see my children. for using something you know is this and it's a real shame that we can't see our children and especially our grandchildren i don't believe that we need what we accepted we do what we're supposed to. be doing our distance you know. keeping distance but in spangenberg gate is pretty empty and those who spoke to expect a lock down it's come to 9 parts or be here in a few days that's why right now. the town of hindsight is a coronavirus hotspot in germany the mayor is appealing for reason. i love using high risk groups ourselves isolating they only go out to the doctor the others restrict their movement to a minimum they drive to work for them by central's. the

threats of a lockdown is weighing on people's minds. if i had experience in the biggest loss of personal freedom since the 2nd world war 2 weeks ago there was soccer matches with 50000 fans it's not easy to change so radically from one day to the next the government is trying appeals if they don't work bans on going out will follow. 3 communities in bavaria around the lock down the state premier says that soon could be expanded to the entire state. this is the site for and shows the time to make decisions we have put some measures in place and hope that they work out that no one should be under any illusions oh we're determined to do what it takes and that could mean a lockdown contrary to every friday has taken that decision to lock down goes into force on saturday that's have a look at some of the other corona related developments around the world u.s.

president donna trump has canceled plans to host the group of 7 summit in june instead he will meet with leaders from the world's wealthy democrats east via video conference hearted iran has appealed for international pressure to bring an immediate end to u.s. sanctions so it can import medicine and equipment desperately needed to fight the pandemic health officials in australia say nearly 3000 passengers who disembarked from a cruise ship in sydney on thursday were ordered to self isolate after 3 of them tested positive and in an encouraging sign that china is getting a handle on the crisis no new cases were reported for the 2nd consecutive day of the city of one the original epicenter of the outbreak also encouraging asian shares have closed higher on friday south korean shares surged more than 5 percent in hong kong stocks gained 4 percent investors seem optimistic after governments and central banks wheeled out measures to cushion the economic fallout

from the pandemic and there's more to come china is reportedly set to unleash trillions of one of fiscal stimulus and in the u.s. the senate is mulling a one trillion dollar package that would include support checks upon most americans and relief for small businesses. and for a look at european markets let's cross over now to my colleague jessica laney at the from food stock exchange chelsea looks like there's some relief for european markets too this friday but overall has the mood after 2 pretty rough weeks. i think there's a sense of fragile optimism here heading into the weekend that dax just opened a real spike upwards about 6 percent right now but that comes after really a brutal couple of weeks for the markets the dax before the day was down about 25 percent and the past 2 weeks 40 percent and the past month or so it's really just been bloodbath for investors i think of course the spread of the virus the

impact this is going to have on economies it's still very concerning millions will lose jobs businesses that were just months ago weeks ago completely on solid footing are now focusing bankruptcy but the response we've seen from global policymakers over the past week in particular has been quite dramatic that we've seen 31 central banks come in and cut interest rates and i think all of that's really helping to stabilize markets today underlining the markets these days of course on problems around the u.s. dollar what can you tell us about that. this is been a bit of an over look story but the u.s. dollars really a crucial part of the global financial system if you use not just by companies in the u.s. but governments around the world companies around the world when they borrow they often borrow in dollars when they pay the bills they often pay them in u.s. dollars and this week a lot of investors have pulled out of the market and tried to convert their stocks

into cash that's put a lot of pressure on the global dollar market and that's getting a lot of companies are struggling to get the dollars they need to pay their bills we did see the fed come in yesterday and now it's billions of dollars more in dollars it's going to be sending to central banks and that's also helping i think in so little confidence today chose to do the new reporting from the front and still be changed thank you. well what you should and european markets are taking a breather 2 days a day limitations especially in asia continue south korea is the. harvest virus hits asian country outside of china many south koreans are staying indoors others in quarantine church services on large get togethers have largely been suspended concerts and poppy given's banned but the consensus opinion here is that social distancing is the price that must be paid to beat the virus.

so 3 is one of the most densely populated countries on the planet people are used to being around others so how do people here feel now that social distancing is keeping them apart some say phone calls and online chats will suffice for now. than when it's one of the coronavirus hasn't weakened our communication with each other we use smart phones to keep in touch a lot so although we can't meet our relationships haven't really suffered from the basic. for many south koreans membership in a club or a church provides a strong social fabric and sense of identity although many people are out about their business it's not quite the same as getting together with a large group of friends which is frowned upon because of the risk of spreading the virus. how does it feel to be one of those in isolation mother of 2 and daycare manager commune saw had close contact with an infected person at

a clinic and spent more than a week in state monitored quarantine. and then found it amusing a party to people might look at you strangely when they 1st hear about your situation i've heard that some people get depressed but when i was in my room i read the bible and sang hymns so i want to tell people not to worry too much. many south koreans especially young mothers are strictly for lowering the government's advice based on me has rarely ventured out or met friends over the past month still she's optimistic we all know this current in 1000 crisis will definitely end at some point and i hope that even if it's prolonged if we don't get too depressed we can overcome it we just need to stay positive. in times of uncertainty people can let their routines fall to the wayside but psychologists

say it's precisely those rituals that help keep stress levels down. this is a time when big adjustments are necessary we have to cope with social distance in isolation on a day to day basis so it's important to do the little things such as keeping our routines so we maintain a sense of control. our worries can also manifest as irrational and obsessive behavior like hoarding food or supplies psychologists say this will pass once the situation gets under control rights moving away from the coronavirus for now turning to another story for men have been executed in india for a brutal gang rape and murder that spot nationwide protests the men were hanged to dorne in a daily prison after the indian supreme court upheld to their death sentences it's been more than 7 years since they attacked a 23 year old student on a city bus the victim died of her injuries days later the case triggered outrage

around the world and led to new anti rape laws in india and for more let's cross over to respond and jess while in delhi the executions went ahead after last minute appeals were turned down what role did public pressure play in this case. well i want to go up an expression of the old me and that has been perception in india on the last 7 you know outreach not just on the saturday but on them and that have been violent ones for the hangings all of these small men an audit of the us and the fall of the president why did it we're joined now by judicially by the president that was actually on the bonnet that there's no need these people should be forgiven must have been you know. using you should be i don't know even the are leading up to. these funny bits trying to find different

ways of you but this was this this is not. and this is not finally there is also a this mosque in india this was just this long coming this is one of the. solutions mother had to say this is also what the prime minister. and well so everybody called for justice and now that the execution happened what are the reactions across the country. but mark i mentioned that has the main wisest. not i mean the fact that this excuse she has finally been carried out but this is not representative of all the west is on the ground will be here several people are coming out this line is the fact that capital punishment cannot be simply seen and the only lead to ensure the women in doubt are needed c.u.c. i need to feel a few platform it's places feet because even in the last 7 years the inhabitants of

answers on violence against women many rights activists are actually stepped up sick of this execution should not have been counted on the similarity or should instead be put in long jump to use one of their nests in long don't cause the ssion not just of the men but of manslaughter and ensuring that women can see and by other important aspects to this will be found to the shift in india as to dish will reach out while such equitable there's something to eat more or less. there was an attempt by. actually going the masculinity what insolence to meet young wives think about what really is the animal in the house well clearly are there their own struggles that bottles and the others and what kind of men the one with wendy. this is not a usual school day for 7th grader saying. the questions he is being asked are more open ended than usual

a man should have the final say in every decision made in the house the trainer says he has to do you agree do you disagree or are you on the side of. 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 showed 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 brought to the trainer follows up the simple question you know 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. though. this is what the center for equal to going to include the n.g. or the drones the sessions is hoping for. that engaging boys and this age will encourage empathy and respect in the long run. i'd like to mark that one 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 would that the new rules now discriminate against men these . men are being wrongfully accused under these

a little bit is it wrong but that it would it's like there's a women's commission here we need a men's commission to that the. rules are good but they're very often misused in most cases the women take on jew advantage. they're not in my life either. even those who are innocent and sometimes hold out for the needs to be stronger investigations and protections for men. the aswell says them starts early. 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 them and don't enter politics . between artists but it's a boom and physically unable to do any of these things. slowly but surely the

perceived differences are starting to disappear you know. so new missions thank you very much for this report interesting so some things have changed but how much has really changed for women in india since that shocking killing 7 years ago. well monica a widespread thought to ask what all of that for all of this incidents actually did she was against rape and. this has been normally you mentioned that in the last 7 years if you do not continue to see you know strength again so that when will the next rights activists who want to fly don't invest some clinton in charging that young people that men and boys and daughters sheens that perceptions of gender and people judicially would be. are actually addressing these cases so that the back. is not as you know i think he said as well in dates thank you so much for bringing
