Time	15.20-16.00
Title	1. Coronavirus: 'I lost my mum on Mother's Day' 2. Coronavirus pandemic: Tracking the global outbreak 3. Coronavirus: Cannes film festival not possible 'in original form’
Sources	Https://www.bbc.com/news
Newsworthy event (Main event)	1. In the weeks leading to Mother's Day, 33-year-old Aya (not her real name) she lost her mother because of the corona virus.
	2. There are nearly two million confirmed cases of coronavirus in 185 countries and more than 120,000 people have died.
	3. The Cannes film festival will not take place “in its original form” this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Background event (Elaboration)	1. Aya's mother was among Egypt's first 10 coronavirus deaths. Even though her mother had been poorly for a week, Aya never thought this would be the end. Aya's mother was taken to a quarantine hospital in Helwan district, south of Cairo, one day before her death after testing positive for Covid-19. The 69-year-old had been at a private hospital since Monday of that week, when she first tested negative for coronavirus before repeating the test a couple of days later. Not being able to say goodbye was not the only challenge for Aya. On the same day of Aya's mother's death, all prayers and sermons were suspended across the country. All mosques were ordered to shut down as well. So, Aya found herself forced to perform the funeral prayers inside the hospital's mortuary. After her mother's death, Aya's father was admitted to the same quarantine hospital, as he tested positive for Covid-19. Her father made a recovery and returned home this past weekend. Although neither Aya nor her brother tested positive, they both had to stay in isolation.
	2. The virus is spreading rapidly in many countries and the death toll is still climbing - but the majority of people are recovering from the infection. The country with the highest number of cases is the US, according to figures collated by Johns Hopkins University. With about 580,000 confirmed cases, it has nearly seven times the official number recorded in China. China's official death toll from the outbreak is just over 3,300 - but the US, Italy, Spain, France and UK have each recorded more than 10,000 deaths. Critics of the Chinese government, however, have questioned whether the country's official numbers can be trusted. The outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March. The true figure for the number of people with coronavirus is thought to be much higher as many of those with milder symptoms have not been tested and counted.
	3. Organisers first postponed the festival last month, saying that they would aim to stage it in June or July this year. But in an updated statement, they said that plan was now “no longer an option” after France extended its lockdown measures this week. They did not elaborate on what the alternatives could be but said they hoped "to communicate promptly”. The prestigious festival was originally scheduled to take place in the south of France from 12 to 23 May. When the festival was first postponed, its president, Pierre Lescure, said he was “reasonably optimistic” it would still go ahead this year. But on Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron said the country’s lockdown would be extended until 11 May, and that public events could not be held until mid-July at the earliest.

Comments	-       I'm sorry to hear that. However, no one is okay after separation. -       Yeah, this outbreak spreads very fast all over the world. The only thing we can do is to stay at home to minimize the spread of this virus. -       That's better than the more people who are infected with the corona virus after the festival is over.

Day 2 Thursday Date : 16 April 2020
Time	16.30-17.15
Title	1. One Direction are speaking about anniversary reunion, Liam Payne says 2. How Liam Payne and Alesso made their new video in lockdown 3. Coronavirus: Entertainment industry helps build Cardiff field hospital
Sources	Https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment_and_arts
Newsworthy event (Main event)	1. Now, Liam Payne has dropped the strongest hint yet that the group will reunite to mark their 10th anniversary.
	2. Liam Payne and Alesso managed to record their new single Midnight before coronavirus restrictions came in across Europe and the US.
	3. Entertainment and event professionals have been helping turn the Principality Stadium into a 2,000-bed hospital to treat coronavirus patients
Background event (Elaboration)	1. The boy band formed on The X Factor in the UK in July 2010. The group went on to sell more than 50 million records around the world, with songs like What Makes You Beautiful, Best Song Ever and Story Of My Life. Things started to unravel when Zayn Malik quit in the middle of a world tour in 2015, citing stress. The rest of the band went on hiatus after promoting their fifth album Made In The AM in February 2016, and the break has now lasted for more than four years. In the meantime, all five singers have launched solo projects with varying degrees of success. Fans have longed for a reunion, and questions about their hiatus crop up in almost every interview the individual members give. Whether all five members would put the past behind them for the band's 10th anniversary, however, remains the big question. An olive branch was extended earlier this week, when Tomlinson, Styles, Payne and Horan all re-followed Malik on Twitter. Malik has yet to return the favour - but with the anniversary due on 23 July, the coronavirus lockdown will almost certainly disrupt any developing plans for new music or live shows.
	2. Unfortunately they didn't make a music video before lockdown - but they decided not to let social distancing get in the way of that. Liam got on the phone to Conor Butler, a video producer who's made behind-the-scenes videos for him in the past. Making music videos usually involves long days and big budgets - but this one was a much simpler process. There was one person holding the camera in Alesso's studio and another at Liam's house - both the people they are in lockdown with. When it came to what fans would see in the video, Conor only had their two houses to play with. He's good friends with Liam, so knew the layout of his house. But even though there are no exotic locations in the video, pop-star houses tend to be quite nice and the video is still a polished production.
	3. Theatre and lighting technicians who usually build festival sites and TV sets are among those helping to put power into beds and create kitchens. Company director Tom Feierabend said they were asked because they construct festival sites and suchlike at speed. He had been "waiting for the call" since China started building hospitals. The 30-year-old said: "When a hospital needs to be built in a stadium that's not just a big empty room, it's the theatre, TV, and events industry that steps up." Mr Feierabend, from Cardiff, said the fifth floor of what is now named the Dragon's Heart Hospital was complete. Festival electricians were building power distribution systems while catering firms were building kitchens, feeding workers, and gearing up to feed staff and patients.

Comments	-       I liked this band a few years ago before they went on hiatus. And I can't wait if it's true they will reunion. I hope at their reunion, they will bring some songs. -       WOW, Liam Payne and Alesso gave their best for their single even in this situation. -       I hope the construction of the hospital is completed quickly. In order to accommodate more patients and help medical personnel.

This ways to take care of your skin amid the pandemic.Get enough sleep. Sleeping is imperative for your overall healthy life.

	2. Tidalwave Productions said on Tuesday it has added the story to its Infamous series of pop culture comic books after the Netflix television series became a worldwide phenomenon. Tiger King, the extraordinary tale of flamboyant Oklahoma zoo keeper Joe Exotic, his rivalry with Florida big cat rescue activist Carole Baskin and his imprisonment for hiring a hitman to try to kill her, was watched by some 34.3 million viewers in the first 10 days after it was released on Netflix on March 20, according to Nielsen data. Tiger King's immense popularity coincided with Americans settling into stay-at-home mode to help slow the spread of the coronavirus during which television viewership has soared.
	3. The Jakarta-area artists saw orders for their work dry up as the pandemic hit and decided to use that extra time to paint the walls of their neighborhoods and educate the public about the deadly disease. "It's easier to educate people through pictures." So Listanto painted a globe being attacked by the virus with the words "Save the world". Another had a darker tone featuring a cat-like monster carrying a scythe with the words "Covid-19". Fellow mural artist Yahya -- who like many Indonesians goes by one name --  was inspired to paint a colorful montage advising people to stay at home. Through this work they're urging people to stay at home and to appreciate health workers. They tried to make the murals colorful and bright so they can radiate positive energy and keep people optimistic in this difficult time,

Title	1. Japan TV show 'Terrace House' halts production over coronavirus 2. SM Entertainment, Naver team up to launch concert streaming service 3. Disney's Southeast Asia-set 'Raya And The Last Dragon' delayed to 2021

	2. SM Entertainment and Naver are teaming up to launch a new concert streaming service, Beyond Live.

Background event (Elaboration)	1. Fans of Japanese reality TV show Terrace House will have to find new ways to pass the time in self-isolation after staff said on its Twitter account that production of the latest season on Netflix was being halted due to the coronavirus outbreak. "We are suspending the current production of Terrace House Tokyo 2019-2020, giving the safety and health of cast and staff top priority," they said. The unscripted reality show featuring three men and three women living under the same roof has gained an international following since being streamed on Netflix from 2015. The latest series is shot in a luxury house in Tokyo, which has become the focus of Japan's coronavirus outbreak. Japan has declared a state of emergency for some regions including Tokyo, and the public are being encouraged to stay away from shared spaces. The halt came as a blow to viewers who look to the cast for light relief from the real world. Others lamented but supported the decision.
	2. The premiere, featuring superm, is to air April 26. The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding in an effort to expand their presence in the global entertainment industry, SM said in a statement Tuesday. The concert streaming platform, which is set to launch sometime in mid-April, will first be available within V Live, Naver’s existing video platform. And as the name suggests, the service seeks to go beyond merely broadcasting concerts but provide digital concert content optimized for the online world, including live chats between stars and fans as well as “digital light sticks”. The two companies will also work together on Naver’s big data-based global community platform “Fanship” as the entertainment giant offers its expertise in production and finding global talent, with plans to produce original video content.
	3. The release of Disney's Raya And The Last Dragon, which is set in Southeast Asia and written by Malaysian-born, United States-based screenwriter Adele Lim, has been pushed back to March 2021. The movie was originally set to premiere in November this year, but has been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, which has caused cinemas around the world to close their doors. Raya And The Last Dragon was first announced at Disney's D23 convention in 2018, during which Lim, who co-wrote the smash hit Crazy Rich Asians, took to the stage together with producer Osnat Shurer (who produced Moana) and the film's actors Cassandra Steele and Awkwafina, to announce the project. The movie is set in the fictional land of Kumandra, which Shurer says is in "a reimagined Earth inhabited by an ancient civilization that venerated the mythical dragons for their power and their wisdom".
