Over the construction of new migrant camps. For one of 10 a series of highest profile players has announced her retirement 5 time grand slam champion Maria Sharapova is stepping away from the game at the age of 38. The daily tally of new coronavirus cases is now bigger outside china where the outbreak began thats according to the World Health Organization emphasizing the global spread of the epidemic europe in particular has seen a spike in cases in the past days the continents Top Health Official says panic must be avoided and a cordon 8 approach agreed as france records its 2nd death and italy its 12th meanwhile that italian outbreak has spread further a man who visited the area where cases have been recorded were turned to brazil becoming latin americas 1st diagnosis the highest death toll outside china has been in iran where 19 people have died but. The countrys president said there are no immediate plans to quarantine cities globally just over 81000 cases of corona virus have now been discovered in 42 countries some american Officials Say as a case of when not if its declared a Global Pandemic iraq has announced drastic new measures to contain the spread of the corona virus banning all public gatherings across the Country Schools have been suspended and also the mass cafes and clubs will be closed until march 7th the Health Minister also says travelers from kuwait and bahrain will be denied entry into the country iraqi citizens and are not allowed to travel to 9 countries because of the coronavirus or some owner full time joins us live from baghdad via skype what will you tell us about the new restrictions there. Well the ministry of health issued a new decree earlier this evening announcing foreign she measures in what appears to be an effort to keep her terror the spread of the virus here in iraq so far there have been 5. Cases of the coronavirus including in the Southern City of marjah and in the Northern City of kirkuk now and this latest decree imposes additional travel restrictions in addition to those that we have seen before we have travel now and from a total of nag countries including china and iran and most recently in bahrain and the degree also targets iraqis from traveling to those 9 hunters and perhaps in the most surprising of measures of the Health Ministry has said it would be for building any public gatherings closing down tough places cinemas and that clubs prevented the virus from spreading and now its uncertain what exactly will haul under these public gatherings of degree specifically mentioned composts in the mobs and clubs that did not for example mention restaurants or gentlemens to be seen whether those will also be closed and whether and how these measures will actually be enforced will he tomorrow here in the capital but that he helped officials get of Security Forces going around restaurants and cafes to actually ensure that their clothes are it is look this is normal recommendation that has been issued to travel to her 10 percent of the wires and one of the additional measures was the announcement of the closing of schools starting today until march 7th and this is the iraqi Health Care System prepared to deal with an outbreak like this. Well the chronic liar is times during a really difficult time in iraq and seen months of antigovernment protests take place and the current government is the caretaker government in fact more of there is supposed to be a parliamentary session to vote on a new government of Prime Minister designate monaco he allowed we saw the current Health Minister who actually signed up on these never used might be out of a job tomorrow and there may be a new government that will come in perhaps pick a different direction in dealing with what also turned into a crisis here in iraq now of course the protests also pose a further complication the question is whether the posters themselves which are being going on in the capital baghdad but also in other southern cities where youve seen hundreds of people gather almost on a daily basis interest presently those gatherings also considered public gatherings where the government will take additional steps to try to break those gatherings up and of course all of this happening in a country where the Health Care System. Already overburdened where its already struggling to deliver the most basic of Health Services to its citizens even during times of stability so indeed on a virus dust dragon we see a growing number of cases and many people here have a doubt whether the iraqi help your system is in the politicization to actually deal with an outbreak similar fault and thank you very much indeed and cutters in their shape to member hamada thought he has ordered the evacuation of cattery and kuwaiti citizens from iran due to the spread of infections there this after they read in president Hassan Rouhani said iran had no plans to quarantine any cities or districts in response to the countrys coronaVirus Outbreak so far just killed 19 people and infected more than 130 others including irans deputy Health Minister. In the u. S. Theres concern over whether the government is prepared for an outbreak President Trump will hold a News Conference on the virus in the coming hour as i just correspond Committee Health that joins us live from washington a community u. S. President has downplayed the threat from the virus what can we expect from his address. Yet wall we expect that he may do the same based on past statements that have at times contradicted Public Health officials the president has sought to reassure an increasingly nervous American Public hes up till now said that the risk of mortality is very low that things are under control even that a new vaccine is the close to being developed here in the United States but Health Officials do not say that in fact they say that there is risk to ordinary lives being disrupted and they are concerned about the outbreak the problem in all of this is that there have been very few americans that have been tested and so many are concerned that the number being put forward of those individuals still in the dozens that actually have coronavirus could actually be much larger so expect that the u. S. President as he appears here at the white house in about 2 hours time well has a very tough questions to as a re understand that he will be making a rare appearance in the Media Briefing room something that really has not happened before so this is significant appears the president wants to control this message the other issue in all of this is that the president has been receiving bipartisan criticism about his handling of this crisis so far particularly the money that has been requested from congress some 2500000000 dollars that is something that his opposition democrats say is significantly low in their view a top democrat senator saying that it should be 8500000000. 00 so some dispute over that in the midst of all of this there is also a dispute over whether or not there should be expanded screening many people suggesting that there is simply not enough being done at many of the nations airports the white house has put in place a task force where there was air port screening taking place as well as enforced quarantine for those that have come directly from china may be exhibiting symptoms but again there are many and there is a group sort of a groundswell if you will me United States course. The voices saying that there needs to be more and there needs to be more Public Health information so all of these are questions that the white house will have to answer the president apparently going to do it himself were watching for that very carefully again starting at 23 g. M. T. Here in washington can we how can thank you very much. Several European Countries have reported fs cases of corona virus were the biggest outbreak in northern italy there around 400 cases of the virus that the highest number of infections outside asia but a robust approach has been taken to stop the spread of a gem jew as well from a latin on life under lockdown. In less than a week life in the small town of cazalet was that lingle has completely changed the corona Virus Outbreak in northern italys lumbered the region is what did it forcing checkpoints to go up and keeping residents from getting out. Since were barred from accessing areas under quarantine we speak to volunteer medic marco frequently on skype. He worries about what will happen next but also tries to stay calm ready. I dont live alone so every time i go back home i think about it because maybe ive been in contact with someone that has it but im without symptoms and were constantly checked. Marco says he doesnt want to diminish the gravity of the crisis but he also likes looking on the bright side and tells us there are surprising benefits to living under lockdown. Its beautiful because you see kids playing in the streets the way it was many years ago during the days of our parents and grandparents there was much more lighthearted in this. d just up the road from cars with their lingo is the town of put on youre considered the center of the outbreak because the 1st locally transmitted coronavirus case was detected there at all mario protea runs a residential facility for patients with mental and physical disabilities he tells us staff at the center are doing all they can to keep the situation calm and to ensure the compound remains free of the virus. After residents understand this is a special situation and theyve adapted to it without getting too anxious even our patients who fall along the autism spectrum and usually have the most difficult time accepting changes to their routines they have accepted that this is an unusual situation. Here in the regional capital an hours drive away the anxiety is also evident as public spaces remain far quieter than usual for days Italian Government officials have been urging citizens not to panic the people under quarantine weve been speaking to are heeding that advice as corona virus cases in the country continue to rise they find themselves growing more concerned but they say theyre doing their utmost to remain calm and im a gentleman 0 milan well a brazilian man who visited it and hes alone the day region has been confirmed as latin americas 1st case law on this lets go to our latin america editor to see newman and century ago you see what the president is doing to contain the spread of the virus. That very very little that they can do right now its carnival which is as you know a festival that brings out 100 not just hundreds of thousands but millions of brazilians out onto the streets and thousands and thousands of visitors from abroad people spend day and night out on the streets very very crowded conditions and one of the the common practices during carnival is kissing and other close forms of contact with total strangers that type of thing that helps to spread disease and could spread a virus so authorities are concerned but right now they dont want to cause any panic so far what theyve done is tried to track down the people that were on the plane from its really that that also had the one person whos already been confirmed to be carrying the coronavirus she came on that plane also the list of the suspect countries has been broadened to include now france and italy the United Arab Emirates malaysia and australia passengers coming from those countries will now be automatically tested say brazilian authorities thats about all they can do for now if theyre also saying that they are very keenly monitoring just how this virus will react in a hot humid country this is apparently the 1st time that the virus has arrived on a continent with the same conditions or rather with the conditions that brazil has and keep in mind that it is summer here in south america right now where i am in chile its about 34 degrees and its that case in most of south america right now countries all over are bracing themselves for the arrival of the corona virus which they had estimated wouldnt jump over into this continent until about april but clearly its moving a lot faster than anybody had anticipated and thank you very much indeed.

The death toll is rising and hundreds of injured people are being treated in 3 local hospitals many of the dead are said to have died from Bullet Wounds its not clear who was responsible. There was a physical cost to these of the scarred remains of muslim owned businesses in cardwell nagar in northeast delhi some people have lost everything the major violence may have stopped at least for now but its been so damaging the question is how long will it take communities both muslim and hindu to heal and how can they ever fully restore trust. Lawyers have started the Legal Process for those who were sponsible for inciting the violence to face justice the protests against the new citizenship law which started in december were joined by people from all religions of minorities across india there is a concern now that hindu nationalists may try and turn this into a religious issue i am seriously concerned about this is the players from via this movement is going to be given a religious shape which is in fact not. After 3 days of silence Prime Minister modi sent out a tweet calling for calm and for peace and harmony to be restored the streets are quieter but the death toll is expected to rise and the repercussions of what happened here are likely to affect not just the capital but also the whole of india Tony Berkeley out 0 delhi.

Arents has broken out on the greek island of lesbos for a 2nd day over the building of a new camp for migrants riot police fired tear gas at residents whod been throwing stones at them and trying to stop construction workers getting to the site the new camp replaces an existing overcrowded line great center houses while 9 100000 people despite being designed for fewer than 3000. 2 freelance journalist katie found whos in lesbos tell us whats been happening there today. And and today was the 2nd day of protests against this Detention Center which is jews could go in the north of lands. And locals are extremely upset about it so it just saw an escalation or any today around the area where their camp is used to belt so lots of locals just like regular people turned up in their cars protesting charging they were met by kind of a huge presence so riot police who kind of immediately started firing tear gas at the protesters and it was really kind of what we started seeing throughout the day. People be pushed back from the area and there were scuffles that broke out that are clashes people are trying to prevent the right police from moving further down the road so theyre trying to create roadblocks but it was kind of just acts of desperation really by locals were just seemingly very sick and tired of the whole situation and what of it was their objection the fact that more camps are being built on the fact that theyre closed camps i mean i think part of the objection is just to go and have being bell again that they just feel like if they have another camp on the island the situations just not going to change. And then theyve been living through a kind of ongoing crisis on the island and in 5 years now and and i do think a large. Portion of people also post Detention Centers because they do see as inhumane and they really just want people to be moved from the iron to the mainland to be maybe shared throughout the Member States as well and what about the migrants from selzer have you been able to find out what they think of the new construction. I i think that most people i mean most of the People Living in refugee camp and more are not happy to what about the idea of a Detention Center i mean everyone there is living in a really dire desperate conditions at the camp is nearly 20000 now not to even be living than atlantas attentions and there i again yet they were pretty and. Thank you very much indeed for giving us so that update there did you follow thank you thank you. A full military funeral has been held in cairo egypt for. Who died on tuesday aged 91 it was in power for 3 decades until being forced out of office 9 years ago as reports the funeral highlighted his military career rather than his controversial time in office. Hosni mubaraks coffin draped in the egyptian flag and a horse drawn to the sound of cannon fire a funeral with full military honors for the man who led egypt for 30 years and whose legacy divides many nearly a decade after the arab spring anyone he was a military man and he achieved a lot for egypt we will not look at his shortcomings only no one is perfect it is mubaraks wartime record that the government would like him remembered for his 3 decades in power brought relative stability but also economic stagnation and repression its quite a lot of pomp and circumstance when you when you really stop and think about it for a man who only 9 years ago was ousted by a popular revolt and then a year later sentenced to life in prison we forget for ordering the killing of hundreds of protesters he was openly mocked and ridiculed. In Egyptian Society and egyptian media hated by millions of egyptians all weve seen over these last few years is a counter revolution in egypt theyve reframed the narrative around the january 25th revolution and now theyre honoring the man who was who was ousted its really quite the change of circumstance. Mubaraks rule invites uncomfortable comparisons with the egypt of today under another former military officer who rose to be president. Sisi freed mubarak in 2017 off 2 years in jail for conspiring to murder demonstrators during the 2011 uprising. Egypt of today still remembers the rejoicing on the streets after mubarak was swept from power i but a new era of democracy proved. Morsi was deposed by sisi lasting only a year as egypts 1st freely elected leader after he died while on trial and in detention last year. Took place on the heavy government restrictions and out of the public eye in stark contrast Hosni Mubarak was buried a hero for his role in the 1973 israeli war apparently forgiven for an era of decline and human rights abuse that egypt current leadership critics say has only grown worse. Still to come on the. Question. A similar ideology. Yet. A surprise. Hello and welcome to International Weather forecast as we look at weather conditions across europe theres yet another area of low pressure moving in from the west this time missing the icy kingdom instead going across france on the low countries as a run the forecast through thursday that you can see heavy snow pushing in towards eastern parts of france that will run over the alps which is good at least and quite a long way north into much of western and central parts of germany cause and 0 problems over the high ground of eastern belgium in particular because see 15 to 20 centimeters of snow now widespread 5 centimeters is possible so some travel disruption is on the cards here quieter conditions across the u.

Were going to my new top stories here now to syria iraq has announced drastic new measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus and banning all public gatherings across the Country Schools have been suspended and all cinemas cafes and clubs will be closed until march 7th. The highest death toll outside china has been in iran where 19 people have died despite criticism of the governments actions the countrys president says there are no immediate plans to corinth team cities. These 22 people have been killed in the worst riots indias capital has seen for decades the violence in new delhi between hindu and muslim groups respond by anger over the governments new citizenship well. Turn to our top story now the global spread of the corona virus from all we can speak to dr mark perry shes the Regional Medical director in Northern Europe for international s. O. S. Joins me here in the studio so weve seen thanks for coming in weve seen this drastic measures in iraq for instance a very different response depending on the country does it does it need to be a more coherent approach to this you think i think we have seen different approaches in different parts of what are we particularly iran its interesting we know that containment is the way to stop this virus spreading has been successful in china is likely to be successful in italy organizations and Health Organizations around the world do Work Together on these things there are sometimes local differences that come into play there maybe thats whats happening in iran so i mean even within countries there seem to be Different Things here even different efforts in this country some people coming from italy been temperature tested others not why is that good a discrepancy. Even within one country as to how they handle things yes if you look at Public Health england i think has done a fantastic job on preparing for this. Virus which is here and im sure well see more cases of it here sometimes it takes a little time for the message to filter out to everybody to be doing the same thing and theres a little bit of maybe some confusion at times the underlying intent is to make sure that we are aware of the potential risk and were able to control it and you know the local Health Authorities are very well set up for that here in the u. K. And you only mention cases in the u. K. When the other end of the spectrum weve got some u. K. Schools deciding to shut down completely against government advice because some children have been skiing in the affected areas initially how do you kind of does that is actually an helpful thing in the in the long term for for dealing with outbreak or is it just is it really just up to individual to how they handle this i think its up to organizations like those schools to handle that we spend a lot of our time and i spend a lot of time this week already talking with different businesses about the way that they might wish to manage it and well provide them with advice and they will then take a pro churches based on their Risk Awareness and their risk tolerance some of them are asking their employees to stay at home for 14 days when coming back from asia even though if thats above what government advice is they just want to be completely safe in it to put it in print and put it in perspective though for us if people are watching i mean how concerned should they be how does it compare for instance with Something Like sars the previous kind of grin of ours type thing and normal flu but in perspective yes of course the normal flu that the death rate from this part of this type of coronavirus curve in 19 is about the same as in the traditional influenza that that we get is no different where sars was higher at 10 percent and mers which is another variant which is still around in the middle east is is 35 percent so the death rate is not so high you get it from being close to somebody who coughs and spreads the disease by droplet which you are the breeze in or you get it into your mouth 8. Percent of us will have the symptoms of a cough and a fever and nothing else will be managed at home so the vast majority of it wont have a significant response to it so is the big concern here that actually the rate of spread of it so that even though its not as deadly as say kind of other types of things its just that it spreads really clear is that the yes yes the virus seems to have traded its mortality for its rate of spread because its spread much faster than than sauce has and therefore the concern here is that if it continues to spread we are able to ensure that all of our Health Care Systems which are ready and waiting for it are able to deal with it if there are so many so we may have 80 percent plus of the population that can be managed at home but then youve got 20 percent will require some medical intervention 15 percent probably requiring hospital admission 5 percent requiring quite a lot of hospital care if theres a lot of aids then obviously that causes a few challenges for the Health Care System so we better try to avoid it spreading particularly as it depends on the Health Care Systems in ink in question with how well they respond oh very much so and thats where i think the concern is for a country like iran where it has i think its probably spread more than we currently know in iran and it has spread from iran to other countries particularly countries like afghanistan where the Health Care System is not so robust and thats where were really concerned that there will then be a larger outbreak doesnt want parish thank you very much indeed thank you thanks. Well you have in a definite stew trying to salvage the 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement of made little progress during talks in australia capital and the e. U. Foreign policy chief has cited serious concerns over Irans Nuclear program its the 1st meeting since european parties to do britain france and germany launched an official dispute process in january over violations by iran european delegates along with china and russia took part in the talks with top iranian officials to iran began breaking some of its commitments when the us pulled out of the deal in 2018 and reinstated crippling sanctions critical talks between libyas warring rival administrations have begun at the u.

With many of the most powerful militias fighting for half the are considered by western governments to be a threat to the future stability of libya and the security of their own countries because of the ideology they embrace.

These are multiple e. Fighters saying that huffed is gods chosen one.
