But will weinsteins conviction for sex crimes assuring a new era of respect in the Entertainment Industry. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program the World Health Organization has warned that more must be done to prepare for a potential corona virus pandemic more than 80000 people have now been affected worldwide most of them in china. South korea now has the 2nd highest number of cases at close to 1000 president and says the situation there is very grave several countries have imposed travel restrictions in a bid to contain the virus the main hotspots are outside china are japan iran and italy. Health officials there say that the number of cases is rising rapidly and in italy that is theyve now confirmed a new case in the south of the country prompting concerns about the spread of the virus which was previously concentrated in the northern regions police have sealed off a number of towns as they battle to contain the outbreak italy is to post a summit of Health Ministers from neighboring countries to discuss a coordinated response. For more we are joined from milan by d. W. Correspondent riegert so back to walk us through what the italian authorities are doing right now in order to extend the measures to contain the coronavirus. The government tries to restrict the movement of italians especially here in the malls and in specially in lumba which is the center of the Industrial Production in italy and also the economic center. Is a center of tourism and these measurements of measures that lead to the fact that describe behind me is more or less empty its very it would be very crowded in a normal day you know there are only a few tourists and a few shop is here because all of the rest runs the bars the shops universities offices everything is mall is closed and locked out the government wants to avoid the spread of the virus but it doesnt help obviously because now we have this 1st case in public out of most in sicily and this case comes from a man who was from the north traveling to the solace and now that the cases are no longer isolated to the north how concerning is that for people. Now the people in the south the reason say we have to restrict travel even more we would not come anybody from the north now and the people in the north say that condi you cannot prevent us from going some places in italy so theres no tensions tensions running high between the north and the solids and theres also discussion of what to do with the borders of italy to the neighboring countries the far right populist legal knowledge which is raining here and those says we have to close the borders to frons to austria into slovenia but so far the Italian Government says that would have no effect because the the virus is already in italy how is the economy being impacted band. Well monday the Stock Exchange she experienced a black monday 6 percent value was just burned 40000000000 euros just going away and we dont know what will happen today that estimates that the Italian Government economy will slide into recession this year and that will mean less taxes for the state and the more state debt and its not clear if the state would be able to cope with all the impact and also critical voices that say you are doing too much its overdone the corona is only an influence dont bring the country to a grinding halt with your measures bantry got correspondent in the line thank you. And as the new corona virus spreads further around the World International scientists have been responding to the crisis from finding a vaccine to calculating the risk of the virus spreading researchers are doing their bit in the race to outpace it. An epidemic thats threatening the globe calls for a global response. The new coronavirus 1st emerged in the city of new han but the efforts to combat the virus go far beyond china. Researches all over the globe are racing to contain it. Better to have chinese scientists publish the genetic code of the virus in early january enabling scientists around the world to start working on it. At home Home University pathologists of grain the new coronavirus and human tissue to find out more about its Properties One of the basic. Things which people want to know about this farce is the firstly what is a place or especially fact or in the human body in which the process replication and the 2nd is what sort of damage is according to the body and then also to see how the body reacts to this virus damage. The ultimate goal in the fight against any viruses to find a vaccine multiple teams around the world already searching for the magic bullet that can be used to immunize people one of them is based in belgium at the university of life and. Vaccine Development Takes 1015 years before a new vaccine may come so no the entire Scientific Community is trying to get foster there to through. Help in this emergency. The belgian teams research is partly conducted in a robotic lab that separates researches from hazardous pathogens they hope that within a few weeks there will be able to test the 1st vaccine on mice. Between mice and using this in humans is still a long long part because you need to do all kinds of tests safety tests and and animals and then you need to test for safety and human volunteers. Despite the scientists best efforts a successful vaccine against kovac 19 is not expected to be ready for use on humans until the summer of next year so research is also focusing on how to minimize the risk of the virus spreading. In germanys capital berlin physicist but man and his colleagues have been working on a global Risk Assessment model analyzing flight data they calculate the risk of the spread of the disease for different countries. Its an advisory capacity not just in germany but beyond our borders the work on modeling the spread of Infectious Diseases has become really important. So my experience is that in this area of research all the teams around the world are very tightly knit we exchange all our data and information it wasnt like that during the a bullet crisis or the h one n one pandemic this is really new. The fight against the new coronavirus is a race against time and while the response to the virus has been one of the quickest in recent history the west wing outbreaks in iran south korea and italy could be an indication of just how close that race will be.

To celebrate carnival the rules monday parade however timed into a scene of horror when a 29 year old man drove into the crowds causing mayhem his actions apparently deliberate. Drove right into the crowd at full speed i had the feeling he kept accelerating people flew up into the air like paper a few seconds of deathly silence and then they all started screaming. I mean my classmate was driven into he has an injured foot and a concussion. Dozens were injured some seriously and several children were among those heart police say the suspect is a local man whom they plan to interview a soon as his conditions permit begin for the were not assuming an attack but we do think it was an intentional act we dont yet know the background the investigation isnt far enough along to say anything about a potential motive has this state appeared moved. 5 days after the terrorist talking of course its in the back of everyones mind my god not again but my advice is that we remain calm doesnt help anyone if we all start speculating wildly.

Lets get more on the verdict were joined here in the studio by Sophie Charlotte rieger founder of the feminist film called the film lioness in english welcome to the program and thank you for joining us what was your 1st reaction when you heard this verdict well on a very personal level my 1st reaction was very positive that there is relieved and with a lot of hope that things will change for the better is it as big a victory for the need movement as people have hopes you think well i think i dont think we can tell that right now thanks. But definitely it is a small victory on a longer pass because its shows us that the victims voices the survive as voices have been heard and they have been taken seriously and thats a very very important thing just as much as to see legal consequences for a perpetrator you know the importance of this for you know those survivors of assault harassment victims especially in the Entertainment Industry cannot be overemphasized but in your opinion do you think that this really sets the industry up for real change i hope so i hope that it encourages people to speak up and not only people who are affected by abuse or harassment but also people witnessing these things but i think we mustnt forget that identifying these say as such is one of the issues that were still tech aling so what we have to do now is to educate people on how to recognize what is an act of Sexual Harassment for example and how it is a play into power structures so this is the way that we need to go still so what would then be your suggestion in terms of how to carry that out well to educate people who make just the people who are in power but also everyone working in the industry basically and how to identify this kind of situations and what you can do to support people who suffer from this do you think that we have more trials ahead now in the years to come in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein hope so but i think to fully answer those questions we have to wait for the final sentence also and we thank you so much for joining us here on the program to share your perspective so if you surely are eager founder of the feminist film blog called the film lioness we appreciate.
