V. Say earlier today this is part of the kind of fear that Government Officials have been trying to instill in people of the consequences of not following through is this fact or fiction well we dont really have any Health Official or Government Official quoted here are standing behind this but medically speaking if you follow the epidemiology if the government is not able to get a hold of the spread of the virus throughout the country it could become a hot zone it could become a long term area of risk in which case there there is a chance it could affect millions of people.

Gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world adding to fears that if the corona virus is detected here it will spread quickly border crossings with israel and egypt all closed only emergency travel is allowed how. Does it hasnt registered any cases thank god im here to leave gaza for 4 months i need a liver transplant coronavirus are not death is death and the Health Ministry and aid organizations are running awareness campaigns to inform everyone about how to stop the virus spreading and this corona virus arrives we will perish i dont think the Health Ministry has the capacity to deal with it because of the israeli siege. Because all the Health Organization warns that people in gaza a vulnerable theres a chronic lack of hospitals basic medical supplies and testing kits. Will be able to deal with the thousands or hundreds of cases and that stage we would need to think of something or some Response Plan that would allow either the transfer of some cases the difficult cases or to open resources or with those to deal with the virus if it is in hundreds.

States have been Holding Democratic primaries on tuesday despite Health Officials encouraging people to stay at home polling stations and are shot in florida and illinois theyre close with the next hour in arizona ohio postponed its primary electoral Officials Say theyve done enough to safeguard the health of voters and joe biden are fighting for the partys nomination to take on donald trump in november lets speak to john hendren whos in Chicago Illinois for the polls have just closed how much is the coronavirus effect of the voting there john. It is it was stunning to see how this virus has affected voting all over the United States i have been in other states when theyve held their primaries when the coronavirus wasnt such a threat they would have had high turnout and lines out the door here in illinois turnout was very high before the election that is mail in turnout in advance voting they broke a record of world war 2 era record with people flooding the election system with their votes but today tuesday things were entirely different i stood outside of a polling office there was no line people who normally hand in flyers pitching their candidates very few of them and as a matter of fact in the 1st hour of polling about 10000 people had voted in this is a president ial primary in a normal may oral primary they usually have more than 30000 people so turnout was exceptionally low whether the mail in ballots make up for that we dont know but what we do know is that in florida joe biden has apparently won that election the votes are still coming in but with well over half the votes in he is well ahead of Bernie Sanders there biden was looking good here in illinois in polls and then of course there was the state of ohio which was to vote here on tuesday but just hours before that election was supposed to happen the republican governor of ohio mike de wine said he didnt want that election to go forward went to the courts the court said no and then he got his Health Minister to intervene and say that they wouldnt hold it because it is a Health Emergency and that is why ohio is not voting today were still waiting for arizona later in the day but turnout in the polls so far at least here in illinois seems to be exceptionally low on voting day and john im just seeing from the services as youre talking there donald trump has won upon plea in illinois and in florida but partly early reports suggest that joe biden has actually won in illinois obviously well be checking those figures with you as as they come in but ohio as you mentioned has postponed its primary because of the coronavirus other any concerns that there could be more destructions to get out some process coming up. Absolutely now a lot of People Democrats in particular have suggested there are some politics going on mike de wine is a republican the thinking goes that republicans want the democrats to fight it out for longer and while joe biden could not of numerically shes than 1991 delegates that he would need to win the democratic nomination here on tuesday the thinking goes that he would have been able to push forward with the momentum that would have made it inevitable that Bernie Sanders would have had to pull out of the race but there will be criticism of the governor here in illinois for Going Forward because illinois has had its 1st death 22 cases in a nursing home and 55 new cases thats a 50 percent increase there will be criticism for it Going Forward with this election john thanks very much indeed euro 2020 is set to become euro 2021 because of cut on the virus the football championship is being postponed for a year the latest big sporting event to be affected had been a strong call to push the tournament back from june and july it came off the days of talks of the governing body you wait for it said quarters in switzerland rather than being held in a single country it was due to be played in 12 different european nations Sports Correspondent lee wellings says the decision may allow the domestic football leagues which are also suspended to be completed in the summer. It was absolutely the decision that you want to have to touch in these circumstances is extraordinary circumstances to delay my year makes perfect sense that when we start thinking see how the forwards will move into mines in place of 12 and cities they were ok with it remains in crisis. If theres any chance further down the line that they might actually consider reverting to just one house but thats a lot of the down the line i think whats really significant as well is a lot of talk about because i spoke to everyone who voted the european clubs the players. Representatives about whether the seasons can very well in domestic scenes can be finished and one of the things about moving you can change is it opens up the possibility for matches to be played in some of iraqs president has named a new Prime Minister designate of a months of protests and political deadlock cardinals or phase the former governor of najaf and heads the Parliamentary Group of former Prime Minister high that all about it now has 30 days to form a cabinet someone for turns in baghdad and she says adnan also off his nomination was an expected. It is current member of parliament for the nasser alliance which is the party of former Prime Minister high dollar body and hes also somebody who served before as the governor of najaf province under the paul bremmer administration following the 2003 u. S. Invasion so he is somebody who is seen as being rather close to the west rather being rather close to the United States and this is one of the factors that hes likely to face some opposition from the shia parties in parliament who have especially recently adopted a rather hostile stance towards the u. S. Military presence now in nominating him president barham salih took a very unusual step usually its the largest bloc in parliament that puts a name for prospective candidates for the president and the president then accepts or rejects this name but since the Political Parties have not been able to come up with a candidate among themselves president.
