Coronavirus outbreak: Number of deaths exceeds 3000

We get the latest on the coronavirus outbreak as the number of deaths worldwide exceeds 3000, after China reports 42 more deaths. The first cases have been confirmed in Indonesia, Iceland, Portugal, Armenia and Andorra. Our BBC Persian correspondent also gives us the latest from Iran, where there's been a rise in the number of cases and a senior official has died of the virus. And we hear from Italy, one of the countries worst-affected by coronavirus.

Also, police in the Philippines have arrested a security guard who took about 30 people hostage at a shopping centre in the capital. The hostages have been freed after 10 hours. We speak to our correspondent in Manila.

And we go to the island of Lesbos where the Greek coastguard says a child has died and 47 migrants have been rescued after their boat capsized. Reports say at least 1000 migrants have reached Greece's Eastern Aegean islands since Sunday morning. Greece meanwhile has said it has stopped accepting asylum claims for a month, accusing Turkey of encouraging migrants to travel to the country. As the situation intensifies, one journalist tells us he was beaten while reporting about a migrant boat arriving on the island.
