S. Has accused iran of covering up information about the coronavirus the u. S. Secretary of state has called on countries to tell the truth about the growing outbreak White House Correspondent can they help it joins me now live from washington d. C. Can you just tell us more what else the pompei i have to say. Yeah really ship a big shift a dramatic shift if you will in the sort of narrative coming from the Trump Administration initially when quote a virus 1st surfaced the administration seem to be falling over itself to compliment particularly china in its handling of the outbreak but the language hasnt shifted in the last few hours the u. S. Secretary of state might pump aoe having very harsh words not only for china but also for iran accusing both nations of suppressing details but he says potentially have made the outbreak worse and now calling on all nations to cooperate to tell the truth and to work with International Aid organizations that china permitted its own foreign journalist and medical personnel to speak and investigate freely chinese officials and other nations would have been far better prepared to address the challenge similarly the United States is deeply concerned by information indicating the Iranian Regime may have suppressed vital details about the outbreak in that country as of yesterday afternoon around was 2nd only to china and corona virus deaths. All nations including iran should tell the truth about the coronavirus and cooperate with International Organizations now in the midst of all of this the Us Administration in particularly u. S. President donald trump working to contain rising fears within the u. S. Borders americans not feeling entirely confident with their own government response criticizing a back you ation of u. S. Citizens from overseas back to the United States where infected passengers were put in the same plane as those who were healthy separated only by plastic sheeting as a result now the number of infections in the United States according to the c. D. C. Now at 53. 00 including 36. 00 of those passengers that were on board a cruise ship the diamond princess in the midst of all this the u. S. President trying to contain fears tweeting that in fact things are under control were also asking congress for additional funding some 2500000000 something that democrats on capitol hill are calling wholly insufficient even the leadership in the direction of the response incompetent can be held at their cost of elements out of the u. S. Thank you. Well have a. Virus it could only a region he says many residents there if it containment mischas on a walking. Theres been another spike in the number of confirmed cases were now being told at least 280 confirmed cases of corona virus in 7 different regions across italy now this doesnt really come as a surprise because officials have been saying the past 24 to 48 hours that we should expect to hear about more cases because there are now more proactive measures being taken by Health Officials here in italy to test more people and to try and diagnose coronavirus patients all that being said there are also 7 people having been reported killed because of the virus so there are 7 deaths as well throughout the country now we are in an area in northern italy the lumber the region where about 10 kilometers from the center of the virus of the corona virus a town called code donyell and what you see behind me this is a checkpoint thats been put up so that no cars can go into or get out of that quarantined area whats called a red zone unless they have specific government permission to do so throughout the day weve seen numerous ambulances go in and out of the quarantine area one of the reasons why the sense of alarm is really growing the past several hours throughout the day i will say that the residents that weve spoken with they say that they are trying to remain calm but they are worried that perhaps the containment measures that have been taken by Italian Government officials may not be working as well as they would like them to work Hosni Mubarak the egyptian president ousted from power during the arab spring uprisings has died aged 91 if after weighing a cairo hospital where had recently undergone surgery cant present off a l. C. C. And among those offering tributes to the dog or than a man late looks back on the late egyptian role as life and legacy. Hosni mubarak maintained if im crippled power in egypt for 3 decades. Until finally in 2011 the people had enough millions took to the streets hundreds of killed but after 18 days this. President mohamed Hosni Mubarak has the sighted to wave the office of their president of the public. Reacted as they heard the news that brought the man with an iron fist down. The military council took the reins of power but it was from the bullet train the bark had originally risen to power. A former chief in 1973 he led an air campaign the regain the Sinai Peninsula from israel it has been a humiliating loss in the 1967 war president anwar sadats made him vice president. Mubarak was just meters away from sadat when he was shot dead in 1990. 8 days later. Became president almost immediately he implemented emergency laws giving the state sweeping powers of arrest and cousin basic freedoms that would remain in place for his entire presidency there were a number of assassination attempts like this one during a visit to ethiopia in the mid 990 s. Nearly 60 people were killed in luxor. Mubarak cracked down rounding up thousands of suspects from the inside many egyptians considered its rule oppressive although he won 4 elections there were allegations of fraud but he continued to impress mattie in the Global Political arena as he made International Diplomacy a cornerstone of his rule. To secure a steady flow of oil supplies into World Markets and brokered deals between the palestinians and the israelis the americans enlisted support of 2 major allies saudi arabia and egypt the saudi kingdom used its financial power and egypt under mubarak use its political leverage to influence arab League Decisions the strategy paid off and he received crucial u. S. Military aid with billions of dollars. But unflinching western support from a bark soon faded with the arab spring began mubarak was arrested and charged with corruption and abuse of power in 2012 he was sentenced to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters after a retrial mubarak was acquitted in 2017 but his legacy has endured with the current regime led by another military figure up to see using similar hardline tactics to crackdown on dissent in order to stay in power. Several leaders have reacted to the death of egypts former ruler Hosni Mubarak the countrys current president of the father of sisi praised mubaraks role during the 1973 conflict with israel which he called a war that restore dignity and pride to the arab nation palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas praised mubarak support for the palestinian cause the Palestinian People and achieving their freedom and independence and israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu held mubarak as a great leader correspond jamal shell has covered egypt extensively explains why mubarak was significant for the region. The hour brawl in the context of whilst it is so divided it is actually united in many respects in the way that it is ruled it is ruled by a group of authours tamia in an autocratic rulers that ultimately have similar interests in maintaining the status quo and thats why for example there is that support for that came for the coup in egypt from different regional countries who may not necessarily agree ideologically or politically with certain trends within the egyptian regime but know that they want to maintain it so you will get that support for Benjamin Netanyahu obviously and the Israeli Government were extremely grateful and then thats a true the policies of Hosni Mubarak not least in being able to establish that stranglehold over gaza and imposing the blockade which was essentially starving more than one and a half 1000000 palestinians there Mahmoud Abbas found legitimacy in the government of Hosni Mubarak in being able to meet a statesman at the time where his party in occupied palestine had lost their luxury over legitimacy at least in actions back then some of the gulf waters in the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia saw interesting mubarak a man who was able to contain what they perceive as their existential threat which is political islam so there is a lot of different. Cross sections between these different regimes and rulers who will no doubt have some sort of debts or at least feel that they. Have lost in frosty mubarak an ally. Still ahead on their own well ask whats next for malaysia the resignation of the Prime Minister. And why the father says could go call that europes only nickel manufacturer and.
