but. this is do you w. news live from or led to the worldwide death toll from coronavirus surges past 10000 medical staff around the world are struggling to cope working long hours with not enough equipment and fears of getting sick themselves will go to spain where concert is growing that the health care system will not be able to deal with the

crisis but the country with the most deaths is now italy overtaking china and despite a near total lockdown there at the epicenter of europe's outbreak the spread is not stopping and in germany hard hit the very elderly and states in closing down public life almost completely admit to date over whether the entire country should go into lockdown. plus with the football season suspended due to the pandemic germany's football stadiums are empty and clubs themselves face potential drewitt as a result of the visiting revenue. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the worldwide death toll of the coronavirus keeps up its rapid spread according to john hopkins university in the united states the coronavirus pandemic has now killed more than. 10000 people worldwide fears are

growing in spain that the health care system will not be able to cope it is the worst affected european country after italy and medical staff already struggling correspondent john philip schultz has the support of doctors and other health care workers sprains new heroes that work has never been as crucial as it is no overtime emergency measures and preparations for worst case scenarios the order of the day staff are too overwhelmed to speak to the media eventually we managed to reach a spanish doctor by telephone who's working across the board in front of. me out oh are you and your colleagues feeling at the moment. well let's just. say people's eyes. to the lake. better quality of life. only 2 or 3 weeks to live all i think they should all really

wish i just tried to walk my dog for fun just what can each of us do know. she she shut. the jelly she. said it's that 1st step so. i think. i got to take the measures for. a live audience question this is the association of spanish emergency physicians warns that thousands of lives of threats and the currents knocked down measures aren't abates spain only has 5000 beds in intensive care units many health care institutions have been privatized in recent years but due to the current emergency they are now partially back under state control. every even a year to 8 o'clock sharp the people once they take to drive by the police to applaud their. it's

a ritual they hope will get medical workers in to help get through these difficult days. and let's bring in now debbie hughes yon philip schultz who filed that report from seville and this is you know concerns that we're hearing from all over the world really. the fact that health systems are really struggling to cope how bad is the situation there in spain. well and some of what was really bad to the affected areas including the kept them out to get the situation is quite that but it comes up. almost to the city basis and some of the measures have never been seen in the history of spain sorry example besides the state control of privately owned hospitals the government also asks all companies that could potentially produce medical equipment to report this to the authorities also medical students in their final years can be hired knowledge to decide the crisis

and last but not least hospital is being transformed into sorry hotels are being transformed into hospitals the 1st hotel the big 4 star hotel in madrid has just been transformed in the house sent up but experts say it's not only the situation in hospitals it's also the situation and he's seen your homes. i use one of the biggest newspapers here reports today that in many old people's homes the situation is very bad they have to wait for hours to see a doctor even with very difficult symptoms and people working that they start to use kitchen gloves to protect themselves from the virus and those are some of the biggest concerns you know the population who are vulnerable we know that people are under lockdown for that reason in order to contain the spread of the virus yourself have been under lockdown for 5 days are people getting used to this.

i think in some ways they do i'm i'm doing fine and i think most people here in spain and ling the situation quite radically there is new information in the newspapers and also on social media almost every day advice what you can do so from getting to know your neighbors on the balconies of course no it's not coming to close to for example also finding a new hobby and i think the government has been quite successful with their strategy which is actually a 2 way strategy on the one hand they try to appeal to a sense of so that territory and petritsch isn't and on the other hand they also started to very strictly control the measures for example i run into a police controls basically every day and there are checkpoints all across the city

young philip schultz in spain thank you. when i was the view from spain there but the european country which has been worst hit by covert 1000 is of course italy almost 3 and a half 1000 people have now died from the virus there and infections in the country have surged past 41000 the region of lombardy in northern italy has been the hardest hit so many people have died there in recent days that cemeteries are no longer able to cope hospitals across italy are running out of space and doctors and nurses say that they cannot manage for much longer. rising against time to provide more intensive care beds here in ra and they need build columbus cova to unit is already taking patients and more dedicated hospitals on the way officials fear the dies situation in italy's north could soon start heading south. on

thursday italy search pos china as the country with the most coronavirus did a milestone month with grim images of army trucks transporting coffins from the west hid region of lombardy as the death toll mounts those trying to help the living a struggling to cope. 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 lockdown means patients are having to fight for their lives without emotional support his. 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. with italy's corona crisis exploding china has sent medical teams and equipment to

help but the chinese red cross says the hard won advice is not being hated here in the city of mobile 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 largely empty but there's fear they'll soon be filled with more trucks carrying bodies. and as fears of the virus pushes people indoors delivery services have become useful for customers and an economic lifeline for restaurants which are now empty yet although companies have issued new hygiene regulations delivery workers are raising the alarm did every reporter i mean yes it has been tracking the story he joins us now so i mean how has the food delivery industry responded to the crisis. well i think

that industry realizes that there is a blessing and a curse in this for them the blessing being of i don't want to call it a blessing i don't think they see it that way either but there has been an uptick in business for them in some ways because it delivery of food is the only link between the restaurant industry and the customer at this point in some cities where they're on wonderful lockdown so the livery companies are using that but there's also the problem that customers are a little bit worried about ordering from deliveries so you can see her and which is one of the biggest food delivery companies right now and other companies like lee for on the door. delivery there are setting up promotional promotional advertisements like just the other night i got this from says that restaurants are open and delivering on it were and they're offering a 0 dollar delivery fee on the other hand they've also instigated a new implemented new hygiene standards for the writers delivery for example gave

the right of some money so that they could buy hands and face masks and this has worked in various ways there's also contactless delivery which has been implemented almost across the board which is the concept which only for on those website you can see that they've introduced this concept it means that the driver just brings the food to the door leaves it literally in front of the door and then backs away up to 6 feet so that the customer can then come out and grab it it's a little bit absurd there's been some confusion as to how this works but that's what they're doing in that yeah we'll see how it works especially because i you can give them all the money in the world i don't know where they're going to find how to handle these days in europe but meantime we have to say that in italy they currently have over 30000 active coronavirus cases delivery workers there are protesting what are they saying. as for i think you know we can give

a kind of look into the future of the cities where this virus is really putting everybody in lockdown where people are still trying to or i mean in italy which is in a serious crisis mode we can say that at this point delivery drivers are still going to restaurants and they're going door to door they're treated almost as if they're emergency personnel so they're not under the government's closure of food services because they're considered a link in the chain so food delivery drivers there are saying hey look we want the government to shut this down because we don't want to put our lives at risk anymore i talked to a representative from deliverance milan that's an unofficial union for delivery drivers there and let's take a look at what he had to say about the situation. the stop of the service because it's very down generous is dangerous for the workers than generous for the people but today company wants to tell another story the day the.

pain the writer like. maskaev rose out really without a mask heroes that. carried. the appian abstract joy to 'd the people in quarantine about this crazy ok so he describes a situation which he feels is crazy are there any examples of somewhere where it has worked. well in china where a lot of the security measures have been at a different level from what they have been in europe there are some delivery companies that are really making sure that the drivers get checked at the point of service which means they're getting a temperature check and getting their hands sprayed and sanitized there so that is an example of how they could work in europe to in a just reza be seen if the europeans are going to put that into practice the way

that china has an s.f. thank you. meantime in germany the state of bavaria is leading states in tightening restrictions on people aims to curb the spread of the coronavirus unlike other european countries germany has refrained from imposing a total lockdown on its citizens the variance the premier marcus auteur stopped short of using the term lockdown in his speech today. up for i talk to students apply to us from friday this friday beginning tonight at midnight so i phone initial period of 2 weeks there will be general restrictions on movement in the very house guns be showing through and we're not closing the very year off but we shutting down public life in bavaria for almost completely by monsoon for them to settle into. well meanwhile germany's disease control center says the number of coronavirus cases has jumped again there are now 13957 people infected

and 31 people have died as the country debates whether to impose a nationwide lockdown one city near the french border has gone ahead with stay at home orders. empty streets a site feinberg will have to get used to after all thora t.'s announced a 2 week lockdown it was the 1st german city to order residents to stay at home but many are now asking themselves if the whole country could soon be stuck indoors including sarah and her friends who are out enjoying the sun together despite appeals not to as this pushed them best out of this is medically better so people don't get infected and the hospitals are already overstretched but it's hard to imagine a country with so many people like germany. so you're not thrilled at absolutely not most of those gathering in the park know they shouldn't be but they find it 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 there's this and it's a real shame that we can't see our children and especially our grandchildren i don't believe in them that you need but we accept it we do what we're supposed to. do to bring our distance you know keeping distance brandenburg gate is pretty empty and those we spoke to expect a lockdown it's come to night party so be here in a few days that's why right now. the town of heinz berg is a coronavirus hotspot in germany or thor and he's there are appealing for a reason i love using high risk groups ourselves isolating they only go out to the

doctor the authors restrict their movement to a minimum efficiently drive to work for unbiased centrals non-committal i'm sick of the threat of a lockdown is weighing on people's minds. we've had experience in the biggest loss of personal freedom since the 2nd world war 2 weeks ago there were 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. the fine dog has taken that decision the lockdown goes into force on saturday and we're heading out toward asia where china's neighbors are treating the pandemic and its and their domestic rests very differently have a look. wearing a face mask in hong kong is not a sign of panic put off be caution the city's response to revive us was swift and determined schools and businesses were closed and travelers quarantined facemasks

became a common sight on the streets as the outbreak was quickly contained. with a crisis seemingly averted people are now queuing to send face masks to relatives and friends living abroad but residents are casting nervous glances across the border. almost all the way places here are imported that sense of dread is creeping back home form is now the place to walk out the outside was almost 0 arrivals here was placing far inside the family so many say even that isn't so you know it only sets in the borders completely also the so-called 2nd wave of infection. panic buying in taiwan as for a number of daily new infections reached double digits for the 1st time. when shopping trolleys was full calm returned to

a country that has been lauded to rigorous cemetery measures and early precautionary travel restrictions and when you're on the street a public transport probably will find most of the people having their faces help out by mosque and they often we have to go through temperatures have. people enter a building and restaurant so what we have a few weeks right here is a collective spot a government and the community at last the people that centering the sauce outbreak in 2003. pakistan vera few visible signs of panic or even caution following the 1st recorded cave in 1000 deaths on wednesday a partial lockdown is in force in sindh pakistan's most populous province shrines and tourist attractions have also closed in the capital islamabad the number of scares is a steadily increasing in pakistan yet the authorities and the common people seem to be taking it pretty likely here we see a partial shutdown though now the security here is that the case is increased after

pilgrims from iran came back to the rest in baluchistan province not properly quarantined and distributed to all over the country promised rumor on cons the government needs to step up efforts because if the virus spreads in pakistan it could become the next epicenter of the waters. but in an address to the nation on friday pli minister in rang kong said he had decided against a nation walk lock down. and in their efforts to track people infected with or exposed to the virus some authorities are using measures which to differing degrees invade people's privacy israel has been accused of using technology developed to keep tabs on terrorists on ordinary people and not everyone is happy about it have a look. ambulances with patients infected by the corona virus. driving at a hotel in tel aviv that's been turned into a makeshift quarantine definity. the number of mutant factions is increasing every

day to try to cope with 19 is mind is now using counter-terrorism technology cell phones of quarantined citizens and virus carious can be tracked by israel's domestic intelligence agency. the public understands and the public realizes that he says for their own a national hate health. services add for their own safety if an individual is walking around in jerusalem and he's fled the isolation we have to find him as quick as possible a video showing a man being detained by special forces he allegedly fled quarantine the police is also tasked to break up gatherings of more than 10 people which are now back and at police headquarters in jerusalem operations are closely monitored the tracking technology can also be used to identify those who are unknowingly in contact with the person carrying the virus and anyone who has had close contact with the covert

900 case will be notified by a text message to go into isolation 'd acting prime minister binyamin netanyahu announced the measures this week and one are sure that the she moved we will also rise the use of digital tools for a limited period of time of 30 days but israel is a democracy and we must maintain the balance between civil rights and the public's needs. the move has caused a debate in israel over privacy and potential lack of oversight the measures were proved by a caretaker government and parliament had no say in the matter tech experts say israel is walking a fine line as long it is within the law in the data is being protected i think it's overall it's a good thing that's being done we're not the 1st to do it. and china and other locations are were doing similar things i think we're just taking it maybe

a step up in terms of trying to reduce but potential contagion tel aviv under a partial lockdown tens of thousands across the country are in quarantine the rest of the population has now been asked to stay home this is basic privacy that's the problem i guess it's not a problem for fighting the corridor the virus but it's an. to keep using different stuff i think if they're using it for the right purpose and not afterwards taking it further away and it's only for corona i think it's a wise thing to do because that's the way everything spreads in the meantime israel's high court has given the government until tuesday to establish podium entry openside off the surveillance program. to football now and germany's bundesliga has been suspended due to the corona virus outbreak clubs are beginning to feel the financial strain tens of thousands of jobs depend on the bundesliga

every match day but with no fans coming through the turnstiles clubs are feeling the pinch the german football league recently warned of dire financial consequences for its members should they not be able to complete the season and fulfill lucrative television contracts. joining me in the studio to discuss the potential impact of the coronavirus that it would have on german football is tom the noise from v.w. sports so we are now entering the 2nd consecutive weekend without professional football in germany why do some clubs fear going to the wall well because they're deprived of their income if there's no football there is just basically no income now for the clubs particularly the clubs in the 1st and 2nd division the television income is obviously very important but if the games don't get played the clubs don't get paid by the television companies that revenue is just missing of course for the for the clubs in the top 2 divisions as well but most importantly for lower

league teams so that further down the footballing pyramid the matchday revenue is of course very important that's basically just ticket sales beers and sausages and stuff at the stadiums but if that revenue is missing a lot of clubs especially lower league clubs which are very reliant on their you know really in an existential crisis and so now we have the situation and that the german football the executives are warning that you know it might only be possible with so-called ghost games so these are games where you actually have no spectators no people of the stands are we likely to see the entire season completed i think i mean it's very different see what's going to happen at the moment a tool now the particular use it's christians are he's the boss of the d.f.l. which represents the clubs in the 1st and the 2nd german bunds league and he said that while he's aware football is viewed as a $1000000000.00 business at the center of it is of course the game and the $56000.00 jobs his figure which depend on every match day without the sponsorship

on the television income those jobs and the very existence of the football clubs are in danger so yeah ghost games could be an option if that's feasible. but obviously this is a crisis which isn't unique to football and with the news moving a 1000000 miles an hour at the moment it's difficult. see what's going to happen all professional football in england has been banned until april 30th could we see the same thing happen in germany i think that's very likely now so far only too much days have been confirmed count so that would take in germany off the table until april the 2nd. but the clubs are going to meet next week to discuss exactly what to do going forward i think they probably are very likely to say the going to be no football in april a possible restart maybe in mid may but again it's very difficult to say what's going to happen at the moment tom and i did have a sports thank you thank you. and
