these children haven't been out of their homes at all and the police have been controlling this lockdown very tightly, the latest figures we have from the interior ministryat nearly three quarters of a million fines have been handed out to people for violating the terms of the lockdown, so that shows how tightly it has been controlled. there has been a lot of pressure building on the government, political and social pressure, to lift some restrictions, particularly for children, there was a feeling that they were really desperate to get out and many parents were desperate for their children to get out, so finally that is happening today. what are likely to be the next steps in terms of more easing of the lockdown? well, prime minister pedro sanchez has said that next saturday he hopes to be able to ease restrictions for adults further so that would mean, for example, allowing them to take some exercise but still with a certain amount of restrictions, also to go for walks, people in the same family would be allowed to go for walks but that all depends on the figures continuing to stabilise, the number of daily deaths continuing to drop which they have bee
