Im married to evanston its good to have you with us. The World Health Organization is warning that time is running out to contain the corona virus new clusters of the infection have emerged in iran in south korea and in italy raising fears of the virus is now spreading rapidly outside china experts are particularly worried the virus could become widespread in africa where Health Systems are badly equipped to respond. This plane brought taiwanese evacuees harm from a quarantine crew ship in japan hit by the corona virus. While their plane and all luggage get a thorough disinfection the evacuees will be isolated for another 2 weeks. These precautions are the new normal in the fight to contain the corona virus. In italy top officials met after the virus claimed its 1st victim in the country an elderly man in northern italy died after being hospitalized. It could on your town southeast of milan officials shut down schools and businesses local residents are worried that you cant get out of the should an official order to close down all the shops and were following the order so were closing theres a lot of alarm and thats also worries me that you probably know that the scientists. At. Public events are banned and that includes Church Services the virus apparently spread in northern italy for a hospital and cafe. The World Health Organization warns that time might be running out to contain the virus. The cases we see in the rest of the world although the numbers are small but the north to lean could go to china. Although the window of opportunity is not all we need to contain the outbreak we still have a chance to contain it but were doing that we have to prepare the same time put in any eventuality because this outbreak could go any direction it could even be messy. Like his country to report deadly cases of the virus is iran where many fear that the number of deaths and infections is higher than the figures being reported by the authorities. Concerned about the virus and afraid that it may spread here in iran i am wearing a mask and gloves and washing my hands more often as a precaution against infection it. Iranian officials are working to quell fear of the farmers and also the countrys media to coordinate their reporting with the health ministry. As we heard in our report just now iran is among the latest countries to report deaths from the new coronavirus reported trace of talk by is in the iranian capital and she joins us now for more so just how serious is the corona Virus Outbreak in iran are people worried. Well here into iran people are certainly more cautious now all than usually some of wearing face my plastic gloves to protect themselves against the virus and many also told us that they try to wash their hands often as possible now which is also what the local radio and television stations keep telling people to do but with the outbreak center with every central some 160 kilometers away in form normal life into iran goes on so people are a lot more cautious than usual but you can probably see behind me that iran is still a very busy place. Ok so individuals are taking their own measures to protect themselves but true so what about the government as it taken any new steps to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Yeah iranian officials have introduced a number of emergency measures to keep the virus from spreading any further in the city of rome for example where most cases are being reported and universities are closed now and official also warning people to not take part in any large religious gatherings for example on social media were also seeing pictures of trains being disinfected into iran and also in other big cities like. Us for example but not everyone here in iran is convinced that these measures are sufficient to some level of mistrust against the. Hes handling of the crisis and some people fear that the number of cases and deaths could be higher than it is reported even. While the news of the krona virus deaths in iran is coming just on the heels of the countrys parliamentary elections which took place yesterday theresa was the poll affected in any way by the coronavirus issue. Though i dont think so many people came to the polling station wearing face masks and plastic lost and it was generally a very quiet election day but the cross well there was not the coronavirus i think but the fact that many people thought it wouldnt make a difference anyway it anyway whether they voted on not because none of the candidates offered any Credible Solutions to irans problems so the turnout is probably going to be very low while the hard run us win but that does not have anything to do with the coronavirus mostly. Reporter terisa trumper in the iranian capital tehran to thank you very much. For staying with the coronavirus we spoke earlier to virologist martin strummer whos head of the ion deal laboratory in frankfurt we asked him what he thought needed to be done to contain the coronavirus epidemic or to. Do quite restrictive measures and that might be one way to be. In control of the violence for the spread of the virus and you can be more careful in looking in going through the traffic from into china and making people who are coming from china making them more aware to look at themselves to look do not go out and go to a festival or somewhere else and if i come back from china to stay at home for 40 days and be sure that you do not get to go and carry that i was somewhere else that was neurologist martin speaking earlier to us.

Munichs been does legal much against pot are born players and fans paid tribute to the victims just one of many acts of remembrance held across germany. But some in hono like hairdresser. Feel that action rather than gestures is whats needed to address far right extremism. Couldnt view of course we as citizens can only take to the streets and demonstrate against it but its a country germany that has to do something about it sent. Us to. Us people and hunted gather for another demonstration theyre hoping that their show of solidarity will prompt germanys politicians to back up their words of condemnation with concrete measures to ensure public safety. Is Political Correspondent kate brady joins us now from hanno where demonstration is just getting underway so kate what weve already seen a number of vigils and protests in the wake of the hanno attacks whats happening at todays event. Was a bit todays event so really enables everyone who really has been at work the rest of the week to come out today and show a side of solidarity and the organizers want people to unite today in a sign a gaze far right extremism as you can see theres already at least around 1500 people here have gathered behind me in central now many of them already carrying banners call it shouting chants like nazis out of and also theres a lot of families as well behind me and a lot of posters with. Sorry criticism of the far right a. F. D. In calling for the far right if tea party the alternative for germany posse to actually be put under surveillance now because that just reiterate some of the criticism that weve even heard for german politicians in recent days as well who have said that while the f. T. Would not directly involved influence the killings are not wednesday and there has been criticism of how they have been able to search rhetoric far right extremist rhetoric to become normalized in German Society. Well one measure promised by german politicians is to increase security in the wake of the attacks but what to locals think about this is that going to provide a sense of reassurance for people. Well there really has been a mixed response to that here at least from the people that ive spoken to many people have welcomes those measures they see that as at least as a 1st step of politicians taking some more action but at the same time of the people that i spoke to said that they dont want to have that feeling that they need protected they want to be able to live their lives normally like everyone else and not feel that they have to have extra protection whether because their name sounds different or their skin is slightly darker or they have darker colors hair and so they want to see a more fundamental change in german politics in German Society in how immigration is handled and how people are accepted here in German Society. Well we have heard from prosecutors who say the suspect in these attacks did appear to have been motivated by racist views almost all the victims did have an in an immigrant background kate just how vulnerable are minority groups in germany. Well of course germany remains a safe place to live but as weve seen in the past year there has been a slow but steady rise in the number of extremist incidents and also deadly full of right extremists is that and so wednesdays attack was the 3rd in just under a year so clearly there is a big issue to be addressed here in germany and a lot of questions soul searching to be done by politicians and the german people over the coming months.
