Poor globalise continue to face an unprecedented challenge is that from the corner Virus Outbreak several in this thread any teams are in a lockdown plus the Australian Company has been called off the day after on the climb them but tested positive. Ok lets get going beginning this news with the Global Financial markets the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic has sent stocks into negative territory not seen in 3 decades the u. S. Markets so their biggest one day losses since the crash of 1987 after that asian markets dipped by as much as 10 percent on friday then they did rebound slightly but so far trading in europe is going in the opposite direction meanwhile this fast moving story is seeing governments taking tougher measures to. Stop the spread of the virus while trying to calm the fears of people facing layoffs a change in their travel plans and children who arent in school lets get right to it starts off we have rob mcbride in seoul to take in the developments across asia and east asia 1st to london and my colleague laurence li so lawrence were talking 1st about the european markets how are they doing. Better but not much better in london at the moment the footsies up about 3 and a half percent in the dax and the cac counts in frankfurt and paris are also up a couple of percent. It may be partly to do with the fact that the markets are a bit more satisfied with the response both from the u. K. Governments and the European Union then the american markets certainly were with Donald Trumps attempt at a strategy the other day i think it seems more though. If you take here in london for example the market dropped from about 70025000 the enormous drop as you said not seen since black monday night in 87 and i think theres a view that some shares might now be actually undervalued and so traders are trying to recoup a little bits of what theyve lost by actually buying some stocks back that are now too low but thats not to say it is a recovery everybody is very much of the view that this is going to take months and months now and theres going to be a lot more turmoil certainly still to come in the u. K. Government it seems to us outside of Europe Lawrence at odds with the other european governments talking about herd immunity trying to make sure that theres not a spike come the Autumn Winter season and other European Countries adopting a completely different tack. Yeah i mean certainly almost every european country now says it has a except to divvy you that if it wants to prevent whats happened in italy where 2 or 3 weeks ago you saw the start of the cases in lombardi in the north and they didnt seem to do enough and it spread like wildfire and its they now had as obviously shut itself down completely all these European Countries are now trying to do what is li didnt necessarily do with the time and get ahead of its a prevent its the u. K. Is very much the outlier goal that with a completely different reading of the silence they they question for example whether or not its any good banning large gatherings of over a 1000 people because they say here that the signs suggest that actually youre more likely to pass its all a contract states if youre in a bar watching a football match as opposed to in a stadium watching a football match they dont agree keeping people at home for weeks and weeks and weeks is going to work because they point to what they call behavioral science its predicated on the summit of the peak might even be 10 weeks away or more and if you say to people youve got to stay at home for 10 weeks that people get so bored in the means on theyll actually leave at the point when the virus is about to start the last protective very dangerous assumption if the big end up being much much quicker than that here but they are also very much of the view that if corona virus is going to be with us even with a vaccine in a seasonal way like the flu is then a majority population are going to have to get its to build up some sort of collective or herd immunity as you say its to some people it sounds a very callous approach but theyd seem to be of the view that were all go at least 60 percent of the population is going to have to get it and that the majority the vast majority those people will survive if the if the populations going to become resilient to its not just for this year but for very many years to come lawrence thanks very much robin wright joins us live from seoul rob how did the markets finish the trading week. Well i guess when you combine it with yesterdays thursdays carnage then we are ending the trading week on a very pessimistic note extending some very severe losses the drop in the nikkei of more than 10 percent in early trading japan hasnt seen a plunge like that in 30 years it rebounded later on or to end the day down 6 percent but very much along with the other major markets of asia very much firmly in the red the kaspi index thats the south koreas index down 3 and a half percent more than one percent drop in the hang seng index from hong kong all of this volatility has had a number of the Central Bank Executives running around meeting with their counterparts in finance ministries in the capitals of asia really looking at strategies for should they intervene can they intervene in the strategies like buying back bonds to support the markets may be cutting Interest Rates but of course central bank Interest Rates are already at historical lows in japan and its at 0 so theres not much latitude there and then of course the governments who are watching this wild ride of the equity markets they also know of course that they can change very quickly probably more concern is the longer term impact to the real economies of the coronavirus and we had another example a reminder of that singapore for example taking the fairly harsh decision not to allow any passing cruise ships to dock so this is one of the worlds most important transport hubs leading tours and destinations taking the very painful measure but it would probably consider a necessary step of not allowing in any ships any cruise ships to protect its population developments out of china as well when it comes to the actual disease get us up to speed on that. There is a bank courage ing signs encouraging. Numbers that we continue to see out of china and also south korea in province the epicenter we are getting reports of some restrictions being lifted on movement within who bay outside of who bay in the rest of china were told by officials in beijing that around 95 percent of the Larger Companies in china are now resuming work to some degree or other so this worlds 2nd biggest economy their wheels are gradually turning also were seeing encouragingly for the 1st time in china an increase in new cases in the Single Digits just 8 new cases in china and this has encouraged china to extend a helping hand to other parts of the world who are suffering more and in particular to italy we have had a team of doctors and nurses go over from china to italy to help to share their experience and also share their stuff china now has a vast stockpile of the medical equipment and kit in particular things like ventilators which are in very short supply which it is offering to the rest of the world so there are those encouraging signs but the encouraging news tends to be still smothered by all of the red ink that weve seen in the last couple of days rob many thanks lets bring in Human Capacity or the c. E. O. Of chart pundit an indian Capital Markets and a list firm he joins us on skype from mumbai welcome to the news hour here on aljazeera is it possible to quantify how much money has been taken out of the Global Economy so far by this. Its going to be huge i dont count if you can still dont figure to it but we have seen huge selling and fun of the new has come to on the scene of all the talent of course of the word that quite a few 1000000. 00 in money and a dometic institution nar has been bandying it but in its of c. Fall its often difficult to quantify the exact but its huge and that event is it possible as well to give us a sense of the impact on the real economy and real people not wealthy people who deal in stocks and shares not big c.

And so it indexes only what else can governments or companies do or Central Banks say to mitigate the losses or to soften the impact correspondent adam if you have the conversation we had just before we came to yourself the conversation were having robin brought in so he was making the point you know Interest Rates they are at an historical low level anyway so they cant take Interest Rates any lower what do they do but i dont think youre going to attend that is most corporate Interest Rate but thats not cutting Interest Rates its not going to keep going on demand a gene which in dramatically especially if emblem of the death certificate the fact that it got what they happen to be busts one jackie and even if they work fast and not hard i dont want to go out of the minority. To get demand from the bond if you saw 1901 more quote fun of of some sort of york or tool because on our way to us to mitigate the effects but i think the bank that we want to do we but what i feel is china did a good step there bangash are telling us well i mean people would see its one of the markets but i can them with each step you see london topics you neednt look up in stocks so frankly speaking it leaves should have kept the back to the minimum and we would have were going to have had a selloff off such a huge quantum thank you ok we have to leave it. There in mumbai thank you very much well kenya is now confirming its 1st case of the coronavirus is reportedly a woman who travel both to the United States and to the u. K. More now with malcolm webb joining us live from nairobi so i guess the obvious 1st question melcombe they want to know who else she was in contact with. Thats right the Health Minister has said that theyve just started the process of contacting the people that shes met over the last 8 days she arrived in the country 8 days ago that tested. Positive for a corner virus just yesterday the Health Minister announced just a short while ago that kiss was. On the 12th which was. The 1st one to be in kenya since the beginning of the outbreak in china. Is ok yes it isnt. Bach you know robbie. Turning from the United States of america. London. You know just going on this march was now being held in i salute Isolation Unit here in nairobi and that unit along with a recently built new unit together have a capacity of just over 130 beds thats the entire capacity for the country as we know it all here in the capital nairobi and the government also announced some additional restrictions to try and prevent the spread of the virus including banning or suspending rather of public gatherings but it hasnt brought in some of the more stringent restrictions that weve seen in other countries such as banning all suspending flights to europe and the us the Health Minister also said that people should stay one meter away from people who are coughing or sneezing but that is practically quite difficult for many people here for example on public transport its normal in nairobi for people to travel around on many buses which are packed tightly full of people if someone sneezes or coughs theres coughs on such or such a bus its not possible to move there also millions of People Living in small houses where several people share a living room or share a bedroom so some of these measures that weve seen being rolled out in europe or the u. S.

Will look at seriously interesting 1st we had tom hanks the hollywood actor in queensland in hospital and now we have one of our voice politicians in a strange the heart of Affairs Minister and now there really are questions about what i say you know politicians in a strange he has been around this column and is expected to resume as normal but it really has been an interesting 24 hours in a stretch and a lot can change on thursday not Prime MinisterScott Morrison address the nation announcing a 17000000000 dollars economic stimulus package to try and prevent a recession but he was message was clear it was that in a struggle its essentially business as usual and that the public should still attend public gatherings in both big sporting matches as well will by the morning. Formula one had been cancelled just how is the pay for race cars was set to hit the track and then cricket history announced that it was banning spectators from attending its match against new zealand in sydney will then buy out to noon the Prime Minister was once again speaking to the nation and he had a bit of a change of cheer and he said that if there is a public gathering with more than 500 people it should now not go ahead and its he then urged the public to reconsider any kind of International Travel if it wasnt necessary really but its been a big day for the Aviation Industry here as well but your announce that you would be cutting back some flights because of corona virus and travel agent one of the travel agents has announced that it would be closing 100. 00 schools so obviously thats going to lead to job losses here and of course on top of that we have a rising number of infected people here with coronavirus so its really a moving based here and things that changing not only by the day but by the nuclear thanks very much. Some of the people are making their way from europe to the United States head of the new restriction the travel ban a 30 day ban on visitors to the u. S. Begins on friday at midnight 4 hours g. M. T. On saturday but some countries are exempt including the u. K. Ireland and ukraine its estimated more than 7000. 00 flights will be affected. The new measures arent just having an Economic Impact theres also a strain to diplomatic relations between washington and brussels the white house is under fire for inadequate Testing Facilities is mike hanna. The irish Prime Minister arrives at the white house his bilateral meeting with the u. S. President one of the few events going ahead as should jeweled island along with the United Kingdom 2 countries exempt from the sweeping travel ban which appears focused on the 26 European Union members of the Shingle Alliance giving rise to claims that the ban has been haphazardly applied when you think of what happened to europe because it was very fast and very furious and what happened is a lot of people went from china into europe and europe suffered tremendously see whats going on and so i just wanted to stop as it pertains to the United States or Public Access to the u. S. Capitol has been suspended but lawmakers in the house are continuing to discuss the bill to counter the economic and social impact of the coronavirus and also pacing questions about whether lawmakers should stay at home lets get this bill passed 1st and then well see where theyre from there because the fact is inside the house is on fire people are concerned about their of course the house and the health of their challenger democratic president ial candidate joe biden added his voice to the discussion about how best to deal with this ongoing crisis and was harshly critical of the efforts by the trumpet ministration public fears a big compounded more pervasive like interest in this president if youre wired to serve relationship with the truth that he continues to have this tool public concern about the slow rollout of testing kits this despite claims by the trumpet ministration that anyone who needs a test can get one the web site of the center for Disease Control records said it has not conducted any tests over the past 4 days and the number of tests conducted by Public Health lads has dropped dramatically over the same period yesterday for example across the entire United States only 8 tests are reported. President trump maintains he is in no need of submitting to a test but this may change following reports that a man he met during talks with the brazilian leader at mar a lago last week has tested positive for the virus brazils communication minister pictured here on the president s left is awaiting the results of a 2nd test mike hanna aljazeera washington. Well mike was mentioning the lack of testing in the u. S. And a top official who deals with Infectious Diseases has bluntly described the situation as quote a failing hes antony folks he made the comments to members of congress the system does not. Is not really geared to what we need right now what you are asking for that is a failing and they are going yeah it is a failing there lets admit it the fact is the way the system was set up is that the Public Health component was a system where you put it out there in the public and a physician asks for it and you get it the i hear of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it were not set up for that do i think we should be yes but were not. Well the virus is also having a big impact on sport around the world our sports news correspondent Andy Richardson is here to tell us more English Premier League 1st all off their meeting only it looks as though its going to be off its always looked as though theyre a bit of an outlier a bit out of step with Everything Else thats happening in europe at the moment already the major leagues in spain and italy have been suspended just in the last few minutes so that the french early which was due to go on but with the games being played behind closed doors that is now suspended the german bunds league there making a proposal that from next tuesday it will be suspended. I mean we heard from from the u. K. Promised yesterday johnson talking about the fact that in the experts opinion there wasnt that much chance of a huge right of infection inside a football stadium but a lot of people came back and said well you dont have to pay by a portal in your seat stadium use busy public transport youre passing through very very busy corridors on the whites the stadiums. Catering facilities that sort of thing and it also seem to forget the fact that play is on just some kind of superhuman and cities that wont get the deal most in this is whats happening now weve got 4 premier league teams now in self isolation due to the father players are either tested positive for corona virus or have symptoms of it so it looks increasingly unsustainable that the league can go ahead what looks likely now is that you wait for european footballs governing body of called the meeting to choose day when we get together all the member of our Video Conference call no one getting together in a crowded room these days it looks as though what would be sensible for the time being would be to suspend the league for a couple of weeks then an International Break at the end of march so no International Games then reassess at the start of april then youd have a chance of pushing the league so they finish a little bit later on if indeed footballs feasible in april what it would then mean is that the european championships which is the Big International tournament for the summer jutes be held in 12 countries in 12 different cities that doesnt. A very good idea at the moment but forget about that move that 2021 and get the league finished at some point in the summer australian grand prix go on us think of the past everything that you would think about of the top you heard in america canceled or postponed for anyone that we can go to channel hope through the sports channels is there anything to engage with anything to watch at all i mean. The children race festival is happening in the u. K. The moment it almost looks like that the last days of rome its afford at festivals one of the most important events in the National Hunt season youve got 60000 fans going in every day theyre not in seats you can see them theyre standing there moving around constantly weve got the big gold cup race today normally a fantastic day of sports really should it be going on 60000 fans again going to church on sunday and then on the weekend on saturday youve still got a 6 nations wrapping match taking place wales versus scotland for the people who enjoy watching the sport thats all of us of course is part of the problem here the governing bodies have to talk to governments have to talk to multiple agencies and the trickle down that they get is this very arbitrary you know one of the European Countries saying well if its more than 30 people you cant stage it British Government if more than 500 you cant change if you cant you cant guarantee you that 499th person is going to be ok and that 500. 00 person is not going to be ok that youre sitting next to in the stadium that youve been on the bus beside that youve been in the pub with and also we saw we saw in midweek its worth noting that the Champions League the right for Champions League which is you know the biggest money spinner in football at the moment i was going to have been called off the next week last week we saw a game involving parry sanj man which is meant to be played behind closed doors due to the the rules in france i know gatherings of more than a 1000 people what happens you have 3 or 4000 fans gathering outside the stadium anyway regardless of those limitations because if theres a game going on fans want to be there liverpool in the premier league are bound to win or it could be about swim the primary. Its hard for the 1st time in 30 years on the day that thats going to happen if that games being clocked played behind closed doors realistically or no fan is going to gather either in boston watch it or outside the stadium so watch it its very unlikely so while this football on or any sports on fans will gather somewhere and do thanks very much well the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau says hes going into south quarantine after his wife tested positive for corona virus so if we grow our crew had been experiencing flu like symptoms are propose it to the u.

Ok lets show you this resource that weve been relying on Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. Tracking the number of corona virus infections around the world there is another one out there this is the one were going with the numbers on here less than the other one but this is the one that were deciding is most trustworthy total confirmed cases globally 128343. 00 top right total deaths so far almost 5004720 total number of people thats a quantified number that have recovered 68324 clearly however even Johns Hopkins cannot factor in top right figures that youre looking at there on your screen the number of people who in effect have the virus but they havent gone to a g. P. They havent gone to a hospital they havent phoned their local Health Service help type numbers to say im ill im self isolating they just written the wave and theyve got through it and you can also see there the spread around the world lots of it in spain the u. K. Europe over there in the middle east as well not so much in africa although we were hearing from our correspondent malcolm webb out of kenya they have got their 1st recorded case you can see there hotspots up and down the east coast of the United States spreading up into canada but nothing in africa a little dot in there in the indian ocean thats just off the coast of madagascar thats the French Island territory of reunion thats a really good resource and you can also see it on your desktop or they have an app that you can put on your phone as well.

O. S. Thats a medical and travel Security Services firm he joins us now from london dr welcome to the news hour here on aljazeera how long until all the European Countries get on to the same page with their advice to people. Think the european governments are doing what they can and all governments are facing a very uncertain unpredictable situation here and i think its everybodys responsibility to understand what their role is both government individual and increasingly business. Its not sure how they will individually respond but were seeing and little by little individual governments putting in place and so on. Bars and restaurants and School Closures from our lands to denmark and the like so i can expect progress over the next few days and weeks in their varying. Different modalities and thats ok individual government has a unique approach towards this not every country is the same and w. H. O. Has recognised that and bidders also. Meant some businesses to all get on board with some of the basic messages that we need to get out when it comes to those basic messages and making sure that people are as well as they can possibly be in the coming what 456 weeks or so because were told the peak will peak at different times in different European Countries is it a risk when it comes to peoples lives literally for certain politicians to be reacting in the way they are reacting when the policy seems to be delayed the policy. Well you know its a multifactorial and issue and you know our role. Is really to guide businesses through how they can participate through. That and how governments you know make sure that they instigate those measures that are going to be recommended and i see a lot of businesses actually and on the front folks in many regards implementing a number of different measures to protect their people is it literally just a simple as work from home have that meeting on skype or face time well look at it its very yeah sariel at it were targeting.

Well its a pretty big yes there are 126 cases now in israel the Prime Minister made this bid for a unity government last night at the end it is press Conference Announcing that School Closures and all schools universities will be closed apart from preschools and kindergartens there are still discussions and decisions to be made he said on that also on public transport and other things or gatherings already that a 200. 00 people more than a 100 people at an enclosed space at being banned the national air carry out is intending to send away put on suspension 80 percent of its staff from next week and shut down most of its roots apart from tubes to places like United States paris london and south africa most other routes will be suspended and of course this is having a huge impact on the Tourism Industry here in israel with all foreigners being told they can only come here if they are going to prove that they have somewhere to sell quarantine to 14 days after that so theyre being billions of dollars of rescue funding being announced as well the industries that are hit thanks very much. Well european governments are asking companies to show leniency with sick leave and other benefits so employees dont struggle financially if they fall sick but that wont help people who are on part time contractual work his son.

Computers to work with but i dont think you can get the same amount of work done at home as we can. At the workplace the fear of what is happening in italy may be galvanizing other countries to attempt to get ahead of the pandemic but this is a waiting game with many wondering whether these measures are simply delaying the damage wrought by covert 19 or will they succeed in containing the virus as much as possible sunit i able aljazeera.
