Victims praise the sentence given to disgraced hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. The straightest high court delays a decision on Cardinal Pells last ditch effort to drop his conviction that a child sex abuse case. It is the worlds Biggest Health crisis of the decade the corona Virus Outbreak has now officially been labeled a pandemic as the disease continues to spread around the globe all nations are working to limit the further spread including the u. S. Which is impose try a travel ban the most of europe for a month President Donald Trump blamed the e. U. For the situation but downplayed warnings of a potential recession. Taking early intense action we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States than are now present in erupt. The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from china and other hot spots as a result a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from europe india has also taken a drastic step suspending almost all visas to the country there are 62. 00 confirmed cases there it will also quarantine all arrivals from 7 virus hit countries there are now more than 126000 cases across 6 continents Johns Hopkins university in the us is tracking the spread of the virus china has the most infections followed by italy iran and south korea more than 68000 people have recovered from the illness in a moment well get an update from rock mcbride whos standing by for us in seoul but 1st lets go to lawrence lee whos in london for us with the reaction out of Europe Lawrence so this announcement about travel to the u. S. Being restricted it doesnt affect the u. K. How does that work. Well yes quite. In the European Union there which obviously the u. K. Is now no longer a part of since brets its happened the the the e. U. Is absolutely furious about this and bewildered. And trying to work out what the ramifications and implications are they were completely blindsided they werent consulted apparently before trump said all this in the middle of the nights european time. And it doesnt help at all the trump initially seemed to suggest that it affected both people the movement of people and the movement of trade and then seemed to do of sort of all fastened and then said it didnt affect trade and so theyre trying to understand exactly what it means and obviously there are enormous concerns about about the impact on trades between the European Union in the us which is which is enormous and its also very difficult for people from from europe who want to go to the u. S. To know what to do it looks on the face of his initially as if he is quite good news for the u. K. Because obviously seems to be ignoring the science and making a political cynical political point out of this by blaming europe but not the u. K. But it is a problem for the u. K. Too because european travelers who want to go to the u. S. Think well maybe i should just stop off in london and flood direct from london thats a problem for the u. K. Though because the u. S. Wouldnt let the mean unless they quarantine for 2 weeks in advance and so if europeans did start to try to get to the u. S. Via london it would put enormous new strain on the Health Service here so as a statement of intense its done very little bits of course chaos on the other people who hate it see what the Financial Markets because from subsidy nothing about sick pay people working from home free testing all those sorts of things that were announced by the british child for example yes deniz budgets all of those were absent and so the asian markets overnight and the european markets they have crashed again because they were completely unconvinced by what trump said Prime MinisterBoris Johnson chairs a meeting of his Cobra Committee looks into deals with issues of National Security later what are we expecting to come out of the. Well there now and so what they call the delay phase the day that the idea that you can sort of try gradually to flatten the they the increase in cases not not not not stop it at all the completely but try and try and delay its a bit since will the until the summer months when its less pressure on the hospitals and the hope that the coronavirus doesnt like hot weather very much yesterday the Health Secretary here was saying that they expect the spike here not to be in 2 weeks but over the course of 2 months so its a pretty long period that song about the delay thing would involve at some point things like everybody working from home schools being closed and there is a rumor going around the london might have to be locked down as well ive heard this friends of mine in the british media have heard that the government is considering london being locked down and that when the was born rumor that it might happen this weekend i think thats not going to happen i think the schools are going to close immediately either but it will it will have to happen probably very soon if theyre going to follow the example countries like italy. As lawrence lee reporting live from london lawrence many thanks Financial Markets tumbled again in asia in response to the continued Economic Impact posed by the virus lets go live now to so how serious rock mcbride is the european markets rob are just beginning their trading day what sort of lead are they taking from asian markets. There has been frenzied selling across the board across asian markets throughout thursday if anything the selling probably intensified donald trump was speaking from the white house the real shock here about this announcement of a ban on travel from europe to the United States and what this would mean even the later clarification that it would not supposedly involve trade or cargo traffic it didnt seem to ease nerves here people are still convinced that this is going to have a big impact on the Global Economy which was already struggling under the weight of this coronavirus and its impact so all of the selling has been basically in one direction soon after the markets opened japans nikkei and the kaspi which is south korean index they plummeted by more than 5 percent at one stage along with that they hung saying index out of hong kong they ended around about the minus 4 percent mark but these are all very big markets it takes a lot of selling to shift these markets by these Percentage Points so this kind of volatility has caused absolute havoc with some of the smaller markets here in asia and to give you an example bangkok around 10 percent of share value has been wiped away in a single day and these were markets that were already struggling as a result of dealing with the effects of this spreading coronavirus around the Asian Countries asian economies to give you an example of that the nikkei for example has lost nearly a quarter of its value since this whole crisis began.
