President Trump extends social distancing measures in the US after previously saying the outbreak would be over by Easter. With Italy and Spain reporting the highest number of deaths related to the virus we'll look at what help they've asked for and whether they're getting it from their European partners. And as a lockdown gets underway in Zimbabwe, we'll hear why doctors are staying away from work because they say they have no protective equipment.
