From Nine To Noon, 9:54 am on 20 April 2020

Europe correspondent Seamus Kearney looks at cautious moves by some EU nations to ease lockdown restrictions, while others say it's too early. Russia's President Vladimir Putin says the government has Covid-19 'fully under control' even as the country records its largest daily rise.

Seamus will also look at the growing debate about whether governments were quick enough to take the crisis seriously, as EU leaders are due to meet to sign off on a $540 billion euro package of stimulus measures.
