Fellow south korea says its entered an emergency phase in the fight against the coronavirus the southeastern city of daegu has been declared a special care a zone thats after the countrys 1st death and an increasing coronavirus cases medics have confirmed 156. 00 infections Authorities Say dozens of them are linked to one church in daegu now the Prime Minister says special measures will be taken to stop the virus from spreading and china has reported a 118 more deaths on thursday it also confirmed more than 800 new infections which is more than double the number reported the day before theres also been an increase in the number of infections reported out. At the outbreaks epicenter province and in a briefing on friday the Chinese Government said Clinical Trials on a Coronavirus Vaccine could begin from late april. 2 australians who were evacuated from this cruise ship that had been under quarantine in japan have now tested positive for corona virus after returning home theyre being isolated or we have correspondents covering the story in both china and south korea in a moment well hear from katrina you shes over in beijing but 1st lets get an update from whos joining us from seoul because its really grim news coming out of south korea and most cases reported in the city of daegu why is that. Thats right this is a very Alarming Development which is set alarm bells ringing across south korea but especially in the southeast of the country and its all happened very quickly in the past couple of days suddenly weve moved to this basically almost an emergency level centered on daegu this outbreak a cluster of cases and in particular on a Single Church there in this city its a fair and medium sized city 2 and a half 1000000 people the most of the cases that have been reported dozens in fact were members of a congregation of a particular church now it does seem as though this is spread between monks members of this congregation they are trying to find the initial source of it the suspect possibly it could have been a 61 year old woman who was a member of this Church Congregation who had been to a couple of services at the church with hundreds of other fellow church goers even though she was showing symptoms of possibly coronavirus she refused to get any any tests done eventually she was convinced to be tested and she proved to be positive now your therapies are very rapidly trying to get in touch with all of the members of this church that said that this particular church has around 9000 members now they are trying to make contact with all of these people and its known that around a 1000 members of the congregation did it attend Church Services at this particular branch now the problem for the rest of south korea is that these congregation go as were not just from this one city but from other parts of career who went back to their home to cities their home towns so municipalities across south korea are suddenly reporting all of these cases most of them linking back to the city of daegu the city and also in neighboring city of chengdu have been placed and to the. A special category of a special in the manner of daegu has basically told people to stay at home pretty much brought the whole city to a standstill as the authorities wait to see how this is going to develop the countrys president has been holding emergency meetings emergency talks with his ministers to see what they do next but just to give you a sense of how this has developed at the beginning of this week south korea was reporting number of cases of the coronavirus in around around the thirtys were now talking about well over 150 and counting all right rob thank you for that update from seoul lets bring in katrina you shes joining us from beijing and that is where all sorties have been talking about a possible vaccine thats to be submitted for Clinical Trials around late april what more are we hearing on the. Thats right its just a few hours ago chinas state Information Council gave a press briefing they talked about what kind of treatments are being used in the fight against the current Virus Outbreak and we were told that there are currently 5 different Treatment Options that are currently being trialled in different areas of china including various antivirals including one u. S. Antiviral and some traditional chinese method medicine herbs and they are currently also animal testing a variety of vaccines and as you mentioned the 1st of these is said to be available for Clinical Trials at the end of april we know so far in china that there is still the think of this battle against a current a virus an expert here is said that he sees this as a seesaw battle we see numbers go up and then we see them go down and then up again and certainly that has been the case in the last 24 hours with 889. 00 new cases an ounce which is double the amount we saw in the previous day and the number of deaths was still above 101. 00 bright sport that the bright spot that the government are identifying is that the number of people cured from the current virus that seems to be surpassing new cases thats 2000. People cured from the corona virus this past 24 hours but we are also seeing a jump in cases outside of a province in particular we were told in this past 24 hours that there have been 200 cases in the Northeastern Province of chandon alone concentrated in that particular prison and then as a result about 8 officials from this prison and the provincial government of shandong have been fired or its katrina thank you for that update from beijing. Well donald trump says his long time ally roger stone has a very good chance of exoneration after he was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison so stone was convicted of lying to congress witness tampering and obstructing the investigation into possible Russell Hantz affair and in the 2016 president ial elections john hendren reports from washington. Smiling in confident roger stone looks almost triumphant as he walks out of a federal courthouse despite taunts of lock him up from the crowd. Perhaps for good reason he sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison but as President Donald Trump hints he might not serve any of it because roger has a very good chance of exoneration in my opinion thats a reference to stones request for a new trial based on alleged jury bias the president himself pleaded stones case in los vegas to a friendly audience of rehabilitated prisoners its my strong opinion that the foreman of the jury the woman who was in charge of the jury is totally tainted when you take a look at how can you have a person like this more tantalizing is the president hint that he might pardon his long time friend and fix or a man so loyal to his previous boss president Richard Nixon that he still bears a tad too with nixons image on it. Going to watch the process of going to watch it very closely and at some point ill make a determination but roger stone and everybody has to be treated fairly and this has not been a fair process the sentencing phase of the case began with department of justice prosecutors saying guidelines called for a 7 to 9 years sentence then President Trump tweeted that was a miscarriage of justice attorney general william barr personally intervened to reduce the sentence recommendation but later complained the president tweets were making his job impossible in the end the judge handed down a sentence that was less than half of the original prosecutors recommendation it was anything but a standard trial the judge and others call the intervention by the president and attorney general william barr unprecedented it is a genuine threat to the credibility of the Justice Department particularly want to come to these sorts of politically sensitive charges that touch on people close to the president this isnt the 1st time weve seen attorney general barr do something that raises a lot of eyebrows around cases the president cares about the question now is will President Trump a conservative who is liberally used his pardoning power extend that power to a man the judge found guilty for covering up the president s own misdeeds john hendren aljazeera washington. Germanys president has called on his fellow citizens to stop using ostracizing in vilifying language saying it paves the way for violence he was speaking at one of several vigils held in honor of 9 People Killed in a shooting attack in the city of how dominic came reports.
