Coronavirus: significant rise in Italian deaths

The number of people who have died in Italy rose by 133 on Sunday.

366 people have died in Italy as a result of the coronavirus outbreak; the northern Italian region of Lombardy is under an almost unprecedented travel lockdown.

Also in the programme: we ask how safe it is to go to sports events and large public gatherings amid the Covid-19 outbreak; and on International Women's Day we have a report from Mexico.
