victoria gill, bbc news. now, as the lockdown has eased, professional sport has made something of a comeback. formula 1 is back on track, and many countries have seen the return of football. but in argentina, restrictions remain, so people have had to improvise, as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. the beautiful game probably seems even more beautiful after such a long absence. across parts of europe and asia, matches have been played, goals have been scored, championships have been won. but not here. not in argentina. a recent spike in cases means lockdown measures have been reinforced. so they have come up with a suitable alternative. translation: this is for two teams of five players, for recreational activity that practices distancing with no contact. there are fixed positions, just like a goalkeeper with the defence and the forwards. known locally as ‘metegol humano', it works like this — the pitch is separated into rectangular segments and each player has to stay in their own zone. there is no tackli

yeah, morning, victoria. it is going to bea yeah, morning, victoria. it is going to be a big week for hearing about the government's economic strategy, the government's economic strategy, the chancellor in parliament on wednesday with an economic statement to mp5, and one of the biggest things he has got to figure out is how you stop unemployment going right up as the furlough scheme is wound down. this is one of the first previews we are getting of how the government intends to try and mitigate the impact of the crisis on jobs. now, as you say, the basic idea is companies get £1000 in england for every trainee they take on. it is particularly targeted at young people, ages 18—24, for the simple reason that there is a big fee in the treasury that they will be worst affected by this crisis. they have done research that suggests that people in that age bracket are 2.5 times more likely to work ina bracket are 2.5 times more likely to work in a sector like hospitality that has been shut down over the course of the lockdown. so it is one of those strate

victoria's chief medial officer described the situation as desperately challenging. shaimaa khalil reports from sydney. the police showed up at their doorstep on saturday. since then, no—one in these melbourne tower blocks was allowed to leave. a full lockdown for the first time in australia. another major setback as covid—19 cases continue to spike in victoria's state capital. health authorities have been scrambling to control the numbers. but they say this latest cluster in the towers could have an explosive potential to spread the virus even further. the military have been called in to help, as health workers ramp up testing. the situation is now so grim that victoria's border with new south wales will be shut — something the leadership had previously said was unnecessary. all of us agreed the best thing to do is to close the border. it will be enforced on the new south wales side, so as not to be a drain on resources that are very much focused on fighting the virus right across our state. it's the first time in a century the border between new south wales a

here's the premier of victoria, daniel andrews. if we all work together over these next six weeks, as painful and frustrating and difficult as that will be, we will be able to get to the other side of this stay—at—home period. we'll able to then recommence our opening up in a cautious way, we will be able to repair the damage to the economy that this virus is doing and along the way, we'll be able to support those who need that support, whether it be businesses, families, individuals or indeed communities. this is, as i said, not the situation that anybody wanted to be in, but it is the reality that we must confront. to do otherwise is to pretend that this isn't real, to pretend that we have other options. the best public health advice is to take these steps. that's very well considered advice, the decision to take these steps is not an easy one, it's not taken lightly, but it is the most appropriate response to, again, take control of the virus, drive down case numbers and get to the point where we can recommence that opening

to victoria as well. there's going to be massive economic -- the reality is we are going to have pop-ups of the virus from time to time. innes, i am sorry but the quality of the phone connection is not very good. we will try to come back to you, but that was innes willox. we will try to reestablish the connection. in the meantime, disney has begun reopening his flagship theme parks in florida despite the state hitting yet another record in new daily virus cases. the magic kingdom and animal kingdom parks were open to the public saturday, with epcot and hollywood studios set to return wednesday. earlier, business chairman of its theme parks business told us why he is choosing to reopen now. >> the guests that are here today and the magic kingdom, there's a lot of trust. people trust we are going to open up in a responsible way. also our cast members trusting us to communicate to them effectively. i think we have done a really nice job of that. we have been down for four months. we were one of the first the

. >> the coronavirus is hitting health care facilities very hard in victoria's state. more than 300 hospital workers have tested positive. and 500 staff and residents in elderly care settings are also infected. let's bring in angus watson. he joins me live from sydney, australia. this is troubling, when we realize that authorities really crack down recently to try to contain this virus. >> it is troubling, natalie. the people at the most risk, the brave doctors, when they get sick, and they can't go to work, that means that people can't get the care they need when in hospital. the government is worried about that. it's equally worried about the spread of the virus into those elderly care settings. residents who are frail a lot of the time, residents who are there for a reason, already, because they need extra protection, the virus gets in there. and it's very, very difficult to put out that flame, natalie. and some of the deaths we're seeing in victoria, have been linked to the age care settings. >> how successful have authorities been at keeping the outbreak in victor

the state of victoria is being oscillated from the rest of the country because its capital city melbourne he's seeing a 2nd wave of corona virus cases. this is as i said not a situation that anybody wanted to be in bodies the reality that we must confront to do otherwise is to pretend that this isn't real to pretend that we have other options the best public health advice is to type those steps. shoppers strip the supermarket shelves before the midnight deadline has now been 5000000 residents return to strict lockdown measures for the next 6 weeks i think we're doing a good job of all as frustrating as it is i support it. but you know ask me again in 6 weeks. most people can still go out for work grocery shopping or light exercise but for these people in some of the city's public housing estates they can't even leave their homes the state government implemented a 5 day hard lockdown on 9 housing blocks after 27 residents tested positive for the virus authorities said they were preventing an explosive outbreak but many trapped inside say they are being treated like prisoners with little ac

queensland will close its border with victoria in 2a hours. on day two of his libel case at the high court in london —johnny depp strongly denies slapping amber heard, when they were married. hello and welcome. it is so often called the world's worst humanitarian crisis, and then it gets worse. in yemen, united nations aid agencies are warning they still have nowhere near the resources needed to fight the looming threat of famine, in a country already ravaged by 5 years of war and disease, now struggling with a surge in coronavirus deaths. with the medical system already devastated, covid—19 is spreading virtually unchecked. nawal a—maghafi has been speaking to those bearing the brunt of yemen's latest crisis. there are no daily briefings about covid—19 in yemen... allahu akbar. all: allahu akbar. ..no accurate statistics, and barely any tests. but every day, there are the dead, buried quietly in the early hours of the morning. among the buried on that day in sana'a was mohammed al—kuhlani. a few weeks ago, we spoke to him and his fr

is that they'd almost eliminated spread of the virus in victoria the way they have in most was julian states but what was happening was a street is returning to a strip from overseas were being quarantined in hotels and the quarantine was not well managed by private security firms and the virus leapt from those hotels into the northwest suburbs of melbourne and has taken off and is almost a single source that's now cumulatively over 4000 cases with many deaths and a lot of people in hospital and it is a really troubling situation which they're struggling to get under control if we look at the economic situation in australia nationally what's the impact like that going forward financially for the country. well interesting history is a bit like more follows the pattern of the 1918 pandemic internationally is that countries and cities that locked down airily did better economically so whilst it's not good to ask we are in a recession whilst there is the significant economic retract contraction and maybe a little percent of people unemployed we are sure it's not been as bad as well as pre

and it is not just victoria, unfortunately. states.th all the victoria is a quarter of the economy and 1/5 of the population. so if we are looking at a downturn there, assuming things last for about six weeks, we could be seeing nationally, to 1.5% shaved off that september quarter growth numbers now. and we were only just going back into the positive territory for that quarter. entirely feasible we could and up with three quarters of negative growth. it is hard as an economist and it has never been harder or more important to predict what is going on, but there is a lot here around confidence that we do not know. we are seeing first-time buyers in the market there pockets of confidence, but much more broadly, there is that lack of confidence that will translate into lower spending, both in victoria and in other states, as they worry about the potential for spread. deloitteat is expecting in terms of the outbreak in victoria? are you expecting it to become a full-blown pandemic that could spread to the rest of the country? what

we're becoming something of a pariah state here in victoria. the border to new south wales, which is immediately to the north of victoria, is closed for the first time since the spanish flu. so we can't travel anywhere outside of the state here, and if you're in melbourne, you can't travel anywhere out of melbourne. so that is quite a historic decision. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: six kids, lots of homework, butjust one phone. how a new project in the uk is helping get digital devices to those in need. central london has been rocked by a series of terrorist attacks. police say there have been many casualties, and there is growing speculation that al-qaeda was responsible. germany will be the hosts of the 2006 football world cup. they've pipped the favourites, south africa, by a single vote. in south africa, the possibility of losing hadn't even been contemplated, and celebration parties were cancelled. a man entered the palace through a downstairs window and made his way to the queen's private bedroom. then he asked herfor a cigare

it is worth noting that the state government in victoria is blaming breaches in its hotel quarantine system for many of these new cases and what happened with returning australian citizen and permanent residents returning to australia, they face a mandatory 14 day stay in isolation in a hotel and it is thought that infections have somehow leaked out of those hotel into the broader community and that is why parts of melbourne and are subject to these reintroduced lockdown orders. in effect it is community transmission which is a lwa ys community transmission which is always more of a worry for the authorities. however it is contact tracing? what australia has done pretty well since march, looking down international borders, mass testing of people, especially in the big cities and compliance, general compliance to lockdown orders. these three measures have help australia to largely contain the coronavirus out rate. cases are increasing in the states of victoria but here in new south wales and in the neighbouring state to the north, queensland, restrictions are easing and it is also wor

victoria gill, bbc news. the government is reviewing the coronavirus restrictions in leicester, with an announcement expected this afternoon. the city went into extended lockdown a month ago, but the number of cases there is still high. ministers have announced additional support for businesses in the area, as phil mackie reports. so whilst you might have been redeployed or some of you have volunteered... in a sports hall near the city centre, leicester's director of public health, ivan browne, is thanking some of the 500 volunteers who go door to door every day carrying out covid tests. thank you very much. applause. the number of cases in the city is still high, and that might be because the mass testing is finding many asymptomatic cases that might otherwise go undetected. we are going into communities, we are knocking on doors to try and find those, and whilst that makes it difficult because we are finding cases, in the long run that is for the best, because obviously if we find it and people can take act

and that's not looking too good given that on tuesday than the state of victoria recorded and not the record number of infections and all the 388 people in that state have tested positive for corona virus of course right now there are about 5000000 people. down in melbourne and the surrounds it means that they can't leave their phones unless it's essential raisins for some essential work to go to the shops. and all of the stradley is results is in this area need to be focused on containing that out right the pools there are hundreds of police offices defense force personnel monitoring borders to make sure all of that residents don't cross into all the states and we see the seeding of current virus cases in different areas so it's not looking good right now for those trying to get. those reduced numbers all the elements here is that for the oyster do return home they will now be challenged will be mandatory for day quarantine that they do need to undertake scott morrison says that people have had months to come home and this is necessary for results is to be focussed in other areas sin

where those living in regional victoria actually have free access to the rest of victoria but of course our borders are closed as well so travelling interstate for any victorian is absolutely impossible at the moment, so it is going to be tough, most of all on those businesses that rely on football, so hospitality, events, tourism, of which we are globally famous for are all impacted in this next period. briefly then, what are you looking for in terms of help here, whether it is from the state or via scott morrison? two levels, ultimately what businesses need to survive is cash flow so we are hoping to see and the state government has been very good at forecasting that there will be support. we would expect to know what that support looks like in the next 2a hours. the federal government do not really quickly and created a package called jobkeeper which is designed to pay employees a percentage of their salary and we are hoping that that will be extended for victorian businesses for at least another three months. sounds like you are going to need it. good luck paul, thank you very much
