Coronavirus: Italy closing schools and colleges over outbreak

We'll look at the global impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

We bring the latest news lines on the coronavirus outbreak and hear about the measures different countries are considering to stop the spread of the virus. Italy, with over 2500 cases now confirmed, is closing schools and universities. We also get a snapshot of how people on London's busiest shopping streets are feeling about the outbreak, and what precautions they are taking to avoid catching the virus.

American billionaire Michael Bloomberg has suspended his campaign to be the Democratic party's presidential candidate. We focus on Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, the top contenders left in the race, with the help of two political reporters in Vermont and Delaware.

We hear from the people in Idlib, the last province in Syria under the control of forces, who are fighting against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
