Coronavirus: Spain deaths surge

The Spanish government has extended the state of emergency until at least 12 April.

Spain has ordered all non-essential workers to stay at home for two weeks. People's movements are severely restricted and most shops and businesses are now closed. We hear from a policeman patrolling the streets of Barcelona.

Also on the programme: how India is dealing with a lockdown of 1.3 billion people; and the importance of kindness: we chart the outbreak of altruism worldwide.
