The us becomes the latest scene of a mass shooting. And conflict through the eyes of children a sneak peek at 2 critically acclaimed movie at the Berlin Film Festival. Helo the United States and south korea have indefinitely postponed joint military exercises as a result of the corona Virus Outbreak south korea has recorded its highest number of cases in a single day so far pushing the total number of people infected to almost 60 and hundreds in the middle east saudi arabia has announced its temporarily holding visas for both the on the pilgrimage as well as for people entering from affected countries iraq has closed schools universities and banned public gatherings as well as flights from several countries qatar has. Ordered the evacuation of cats ari and kuwaiti citizens from iran due to the spread of infections there in the us President Donald Trump has appointed Vice President mike pence to lead the response against the corona Virus Outbreak in an hour long press conference played criticism of his handling of the issue and over in europe france has recorded its 2nd death while italy has confirmed its wealth a man who returned to brazil after visiting visiting italy has now become latin americas 1st case and globally there are more than 81000 cases of corona virus that have been recorded in 44 countries and territories lets get an update from mcbride hes joining us from seoul so how did south korean officials come to that decision to temporarily suspend joint military exercises with the United States because of the virus. Theres been a growing expectation of this i think it would have been a surprise if they hadnt called off these exercises this is a government that is telling its own people to avoid crowded places to avoid mass assemblies and so it couldnt very well host war d games that bring thousands of troops together we already know that there have been a number of south korean soldiers who have contracted the virus and the 1st case being recorded with u. S. Forces here in south korea there are restrictions on access to bases and some quarantines are in place at a number of bases so this was expected meanwhile the south korean government is facing the growing challenge of the creasing number of countries now 40 that have imposed travel restrictions on travel to south korea and the south Korean Foreign ministry is protesting against some of those asking some countries to reconsider the south korean position is look we are we are being completely transparent about our numbers here yes we have a crisis but we telling you how many people are being infected and these are all the measures that we are taking we are taking every preventative measure that we should be doing and that in some ways from the south korean point of view as far as its citizens are concerned it does believe that in some cases they are being unfairly stigmatized and is that number of 1600 infections that south korea is reporting expected to rise. Absolutely i mean this is a big jump 334. 00 new cases being reported and we are told that further investigations are made especially in the daegu area down of the southeast of the country which is the epicenter of this we can expect far more cases to be added to that tally but also looking at it from a slightly different angle more positively this is also the result of increased testing youre now having fouls and tests being conducted as part of this growing effort so you can expect to see a growing number of cases being discovered we have 500 extra medical staff weve been told today thursday at work down in the daegu area and also were being told that the medical chiefs there that are organizing this operation theyre having a long hard look at the tree arge that is done down there how you prioritize the cases because there is a growing acceptance that you cannot hospitalized everybody with these hundreds of new cases being discovered and that around half the new cases if there are fairly mild symptoms will have to be treated at home but it is difficult just briefly with the 13th death that we have now had from this coronavirus was said to be a man in the seventys who was being treated at home who had fairly mild symptoms but deteriorated very rapidly and was on his way to hospital in an ambulance when he sadly died so it is difficult because peoples conditions can change very quickly all right thank you. Korea has threatened strengthening measures to fight the coronavirus all cross border traffic has been halted with the 2 largest concentrations of the virus on the other side if its borders with china and south korea north korea has yet to report any cases but state media have hinted that an uncertain number of people have been quarantined after showing symptoms our correspondent Kimberly Halkett is at the white house with more on how the u.

Response to the growing outrage were doing really well and mike is going to be enjoying a report back to me Top Public Health officials are warning americans to prepare for more corona virus infections in the United States the degree of risk has the potential to change quickly and we can expect to see more cases in the United States the trajectory of what were looking at over the weeks and months ahead is very uncertain but even with those warnings trump continued to contradict the message of Career Health professionals with his all i dont think its inevitable probably will it possibly will it could be at a very small level at a larger level whatever happens with totally prepared the contradictions have left americans looking to local officials for guy gets across the country state and local leaders are seeking to calm fears in atlanta well be ready for whatever comes in iowa. And even in americas most populated city new york in the case of hong kong iran italy japan singapore south korea taiwan thailand it just stands to reason that anyone coming in needs to be screened and they have symptoms they need to be quarantined in 2018 the Trump White House shut down the office previously dedicated to preparing for global epidemics claims thats had no impact on response but critics in congress disagree this is she.

The who after the street battle subsided wednesday was a day hindus and muslims mourn the loss of loved ones after some of the worst violence delhi has suffered in decades this is the funeral of mohammad for can a father of 2 who was killed when the violence began a few days ago he was on the way to shops to buy food for his kids at a bus stop i received a call saying that my brother has been shot i couldnt believe it i was with him an hour earlier i rushed to the hospital but i found that he was already dead he doesnt know who was responsible. Both sides of the Community Hindus and muslims have suffered outside the morgue of the state run hospital relatives await the completion of postmortem examinations on victims so they can take the bodies for cremation or burial. This man says his nephew died from a bullet to the neck he says it was fired by a muslim as. Someone who would win but when he was pressed he says he never witnessed the killing was the violence stopped after a group of muslim women were persuaded to abandon their city in protest at a block to busy road and angered hindu nationalists and the government sent in Paramilitary Forces and Rapid Reaction units to reopen the suburbs. 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 this movement is going to be given a religious shape which is in fact not after 3 days of silence Prime Minister Narendra 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 well lets find out about these repercussions bring in tony berkley his joining us from new delhi so now that the violence has subsided what happens next tony. I think weve moved now from the streets to the courts there are moves afoot to find out exactly how this violence started who was behind it was incited and names have been mentioned the courts are actually getting involved in fact you mentioned in your introduction about the high court the judges there have issued what is known here is f. I ours 1st Information Reports and thats what the police need before they can launch an investigation and in those f. I. O. S. Theyve mentioned a number of names that they want to be looked at and one is the name of capital mishra hes a member of the b j p party thats the party of mr modi the Prime Minister and he is the name person weve heard more and more on the streets when weve been out the person whos been inciting the violence and causing all this because if you consider you know since the beginning of december theres been very little violence in delhi people have been staging Peaceful Demonstrations and then suddenly all of a sudden this violence was out poured and lots of damage we have seen generally that this damage has been to businesses muslim businesses not so much but buy homes so there is a question here to find out who started this and why i was also concerned and anger about the lack of intervention by the police here because basically for 3 or 4 days they did nothing they stood by and watched the stories of in fact compliance of some police in helping the hindu nationalists in this outpouring of violence and why was it that it took 3 days for the Prime Minister of this country mr morsi to make any kind of statement so theres concern about lack of activity lack of intervention here and if that intervention had come sooner then we would have had so much of so much loss of life so i can also report that now the death toll is up to 31 so theyre still feeling the scars of what happened in the last 4 days every single day here or a tourney thank you very much.
