New coronavirus measures in Italy and Spain

BBC World Service - Newshour, New coronavirus measures in Italy and Spain

New measures introduced in Spain and Italy to combat a surge in coronavirus cases.

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

New restrictions have come into force in several European countries, as infections surge in many parts of the continent. A nationwide overnight curfew was brought in in Spain. In Italy, gyms, pools, cinemas and theatres have shut, and restaurants, bars and cafes will close for all but takeways.

Also, Australia says it has raised "grossly disturbing" reports with Qatar that women were strip-searched and examined before a flight from Doha to Sydney.

And, new Covid rules and state emergency in Spain and Italy.
