Man he who suggests hes the 2nd coming of jesus christ with particular expertise unique expertise in interpreting the scriptures initially they were very criticized for not cooperating with authorities their website even suggested that followers not report to authorities and continue their proselytizing mission work they are known to misrepresent themselves in public infiltrate churches to recruit other members their members or become absorbed in the group and then neglect their family their work and their study and their and their other laws. How disruptive frank has this outbreak been for south korea so far. Well its been extraordinarily disruptive in in the report that we just saw i mentioned just schools and churches in fact it goes across Public Institutions museums and Art Galleries have been closed.

We shared some important points to strengthen our cooperation and stick together. Among these the most important point is to keep the borders open. Closing borders would be inappropriate disproportionate and wrong. All countries bordering easily have committed to share and standardize information and to share epidemiological and medical information. Well for the very latest lets cross over to rome now work correspondent sima good to is standing by same ip italy has decided not to close its borders neighboring countries have agreed the same what do italians think about this decision. Well i think italians are concerned about the impact this is going to have on not just in terms of their health and security but also the Economic Impact if the borders are closed and lights a movement as usual cannot continue looking at the Economic Impact in itself youve got the regions of long body and then it took these are some of the richest regions and its the the regions that have been worst affected meticulously your body with the fall of the sections the represent some 30 percent the italian condit be said about the fact that schools are closed museums city mosques that impact on the economy Many Companies are requiring their staff to work from home lets not forget britain has a stagnant economy so what impact will this have you got events like the sun on the more he laid out that italys 30 chipset one of the most important globally did make the decision to postpone that till june which is unprecedented you have just to give you an example it was supposed to be filming in jennies of tom cruises latest Mission Impossible reason that the post pulled so that hes back on the audio visual industry as well and lets not forget tourism. Reportedly there have been a some 40 percent of cancellations at hotels it its been known to stay italy host of the meeting with ministers from neighboring countries and germany the aim of that was to come up with a core needed european strategy did those ministers deliver that. Well what theyre saying is that they are good at keep those borders open because thats the italian Health Minister said the virus doesnt follow the script of orders so this is really no point to do it in fact they believe its counterproductive then on top of that its about sharing information epidemiological its a be should but also a working together politically as well as the medical staff and. The scientists you know wanted to Work Together to come up with a joint response now yeah each need temps of new measures theyre talking about stopping all school trips right up until the 15th dont botch we got the School Closed until the end of this week and thats going to be assessed but theres talk now of possibly extending the school year this year they also disinfected buses at metros because of course thats where people come into contact touching the railings and so on so for the buck were told what the buses it bennys have also been disinfected theyre also saying stop big blood donations if you feed in those infected davis was the 1st to favorite all that said though the Prime Minister is very keen to stress that we cannot succumb to handy and at least thats what hes hoping hes called of the National Broadcasters to try and told doubt. The panic if you like all the on the top of it and to stress that while he had seen 11 deaths there deaths unfortunately of elderly people who already had Health Issues and so their health was compromised and that a bulk of the cases actually do get cured sima thank you very much that was sick or spawn a Similar Group to there in rome.

Legal decision by the court took a long time to decide on this knowing full well that it of course has a profound effect on the very core of what Human Dignity means in germany and it will have a huge effect also on the public debate over these issues weve seen time and time again that m ps voting in German Parliament often more conservative on this issue than Public Opinion the latest polls that tests that more than 80 percent of even in favor of assisted suicide so youre talking about controversial issues being discussed in the gap between how the parliamentarians might see it and how the public see this woman has passed play into this mission it always does these nazi past informed the writing of the german constitution and those core values in shrine that we saw that its an exception in europe that assisted suicide is even possible and particularly against the backdrop that some 200000 people who are disabled fell victim to the socalled euthanasia policy of the nazis is of course something that informs every decision made in german courts today will you look forward to hearing how the Court Decides or chief Political Editor make it across the thank you so much.

For more im joined by our correspondent Michele Joyce was in delhi and whats the situation on the streets there today. After she had days of unprecedented violence in the national kept those things have quieted down a little bit today that is heavy Police Presence on the ground and there have been marches flag machos being taken out by the police in the areas where theres rioting happened to a show off the feel that there is enough Police Presence and so far on the street but unformed isolated reports of violence has come out that hasnt been large scale rioting as we have seen but schools are closed down that examinations that have been counseling as a result of this rioting over and over 18 people have been confirmed killed including a Police Officer in that i have to that has happened and why is this started our own taught us a with a controversial citizenship amendment but the riots now have clearly taken on a just one that have been attacked based on muslim neighborhoods and hindu neighborhoods and that a people open the austin deport dozen people walking about for there to decide entity to conform of they are from their own community to decide if they should be subjected to violence on all. Of these protests have been going on for some time how is the government dealing with them. Well terry i would say that this is no longer the citizenship process these of riots these are the diligence riots as i just mention and the government is now trying to do you know what the State Government has called for the army to be brought in the whole minister has has achieved meetings in 24. 00 was to talk about the situation on the ground they say of the army is not required that there is enough Police Presence but there is heavy criticism coming in from eyewitnesses who say that the police is actually standing by and allowing for hindu mobs to attack muslim neighborhoods which is of course very concerning and we also have people turning out to hold peace marches themselves muslim communities and hindu communities but clearly this is no longer just about the protests the government needs to step up to actually quell this while and today has been more peaceful but we will have to keep a close eye to see if the death toll rises.

Well by in munich sealed in emphatic 3 nil win against chelsea in the Champions League last night joe think crane from sports is here to tell us all about a good morning jonathan morning so an impressive performance from by a sweet revenge maybe for what happened in 2012 the i turn to. The beat behind in the Champions League final on penalties upset them in their own stadium but unfortunately for chelsea fans that fight back then was a whole different cloth they really paled in comparison to byrons courtsey last night very dominant performance and by munich either they had to wait until the 2nd half or bad goals that says gnabry scores trysts in stream minutes soon after the break he was set out of both times by Robert Nevin Duffy but its a rare night terry when the 11 duffy in south doesnt score and he got by instead on some 6 minutes after marauding run down the left by Alfonso Davis thats a 3 no a very impressive fine performance so this is a mean that by a shoo in for the quarter finals well it would be a huge shock if chelsea did manage to turn this around i think bimal rightly think they have got one foot in the quarter finals even though chelseas coach frank. By the way. Played in the 20 trophy final he said his side were now just playing for pride this was a really impressive by performance Going Forward says hes now scored 6 goals in the Champions League this season all of them have come in london believe it or not he scored 4 when. Tottenham in the group stage we should give some praise to some players who didnt actually get on the scoresheet Alfonso Davis as we saw that hes been brilliant as left back he was brought up by him as a winger but hes been put in defense and hes really kind of excelled in that position. As well has also been given a new lease of life in the hands if we can hear now from Thomas Miller talking about Alfonso Davis. Very fast and he was able to use that skill brilliantly today. Not only used to speed well he was able to cut 10 from the wing and created one or 2 great chances and of course hes always very important defensively. So fine with one foot in the course of final but its a lot to play for in the last 16 griezmann rescue to draw from. Napoli not unaffected by the coronavirus of us a lot of italian games in the north of the country have been affected though as we can see in this picture some fans do take some precautions ok an exciting day and more action to look forward to tonight tell us what weve got coming up yes or no matches tonight the on host event but the pick really Manchester City travel trail madrid now this would be the pick of the games at the best of times but this one really does have added bite because its the 1st match since Manchester Citys european ban obviously theyve been banned for 2 years for breaking financial fair play rules so this could be their last chance really in quite a long time so when this competition oversees the competition the owners really do want to win and theyve never won and Manchester City are exciting jonathan sports johnson crane thank you so much your. Now its carnival season and the rio carnival is often associated with flamboyant floats heathers and fun but this year its taken on an unusually political turn many floats have taken aim at the right wing populist government of balsa naro who has divided the country with a tax on clauses on causes close to the heart of the rio carnival. The highlight of this years controversy will convoluted rio jesus on the cross in the form of a young black man from a favela a poor neighborhood riddled with bullet holes the monkey as somebody school wants the world to know today jesus would be one of them who says it is just that he would be born in the man kira 58 he would be black and he would definitely be killed by rios police force their message was directed at the brazilian government she says as a gay man and indigenous person or as a woman minorities would feel threatened by julia bows and arrows government. I represent the women of the world who are attacked on lead it. Even before the festival got underway conservative christian groups had already protested against the parade. This years canova was the most political and years taking aim at corruption racism environmental destruction and the murder of indigenous people. By the fall out here we can say what we want and bases our way of protesting. As always its a protest contained in the competition which consists of color contours and plenty of fantasy.
