Today weve got a modern day adaptation of the german Literary Classics berlin alexanderplatz plus some Hollywood Star power we have some high again Javier Bardem out here on the red carpet for the premiere of their film the road not taken thats coming up. Im from welcome to the program. Well we begin with the latest on the corona Virus Outbreak of a new form that emerged in december in the chinese city of hands now spreading across the globe for the 1st time officials reporting more new infections outside china than in but china still has the highest number of cases by far more than 77000 so lets take a look at the figures south korea italy japan and iran the next to worst affected countries and covered 19 has been detected in a further 38 countries or territories bringing the total number of cases to more than 80000 so here are some of the latest developments south korea has reported its biggest one day jump in infections brazil has confirmed the 1st recorded case of the disease in latin america and in europe italy has become the front line in the struggle to contain the outbreak 12 people have died of the virus there so far so lets take a closer look now at how countries around the world of fighting to keep this from becoming a pandemic recovered coronavirus patients in who have are finally free to return home after one last spray the coronavirus is increasing its presence far beyond chinas borders it ranges from cruise ships in japan to cafes in italy on test runs public transport system to kindergartens and colleges and just a door from germany closed after a local man contracted the disease the world is battling to stop the spread of this virus. Because after hes in intensive care we dont know whats going on theres no vaccine yet so its just a waiting game you cant do anything who else did he come into contact with thats the problem. Thats what countries around europe are trying to find out in the us which has remained relatively sheltered Health Chiefs warn the public to be on alert. The immediate risk to the general American Public remains low but as we have warned that has the potential to change quickly meanwhile 11 towns in northern italy where the virus has been diagnosed remained under lockdown military police are staffing roadblocks allowing only authorized personnel access nearly 50000 people have been placed under effective quarantine italys outbreak is the most serious in europe. Straight to italy then where we joined. Welcome samer tell us about the measures taken to contain this. Well still we have youve already heard about those 11 towns that are on lockdown that continues patrolling those towns not just the police but now the military as well all to ensure that the people who could be in intact it they made in that area and now were hearing reports about how volunteers are being its coming forward in those areas to help deliver any food or supplies to the elderly d who would be not have the ability to go up get it so theyre getting the help they need within those areas on top of that elsewhere in its lead up point since you brought the region of luck weird what was located there setting up 3 tents outside the hospitals the scenes goes but tuscany as well and some other regions and its all to make sure that they contain the spread of any possible people coming in with the virus that it doesnt enter the hospital that people are checked out for the action that practices on top of that their efforts need to disinfect Public Transportation the buses at the best troops and south region state even to get certain schools so all these to make sure that the contain the spread those who have visited those specific towns of it contact with people they should forward to themselves if the authorities have decided how all testing will only be carried out those that show this sit up until now italy has conducted more that 9000. 00 tests at the authorities are very keen to stress 95 percent of them negative so they want to stress lets not panic lets Work Together thats the hope anyways even though people. Shima go to reporting from now to the situation here in germany which is recorded of 5 new coronavirus cases of carbon schmidt dont use a science desk in bonn if it comes more welcome fabiani so what do we know about these new german cases. Ok what we do know is that case is in 2 regions of germany one is close to the dutch border in north rhinewestphalia the other one is in southern germany bodden built in bike one in southern germany seems to be rather well contained and its pretty clear who these people had contact with and what basically its those the hopes of containing it are fairly good its more complicated in north rhinewestphalia where were talking about a couple bowls in the fortys the man is in hospital was c. V. S. Symptoms and so the problem was it is that during the carnival season apparently he was still at carnival sessions and his wife. Is. Is working as a kindergarten nurse so the problem is there that is the danger is it could have spread into the kindergarten also the husband was in hospital treatment and in contact was roughly 40 or more people there now theres some unconfirmed reports that a doctor from that hospital may have been diagnosed. Difference bush says because cases are cases of suspicious infection which havent being confirmed yet of people whom these people have been in contact with so basically the point is this. The likeliness thats a virus is already out here somewhere is increasing and it may be much more difficult to contain it anymore also is another problem is that nobody knows where the man contracted holds a family contract that says virus in the 1st place so thats not that the initial infection chain has not been completely.

Germanys highest court has overturned the ban on medically assisted suicide the decision comes after a group of patients and doctors argued that a 2015 ban on the practice was unconstitutional the rulings fielding an emotional debate about euthanasia and end of life decisions its a highly sensitive subject here in germany where the nazis used a socalled Euthanasia Program to kill hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities. The decision by the German Constitutional Court took many by surprise the ruling by the countrys top judges in cars who are means assisted suicide may soon take place in germany. The. Rights of the individual contain an expression of personal autonomy that allows the right to a self determined death i have that right includes the freedom to take ones own life therefore also to seek help from a 3rd party as long as its offered one of those people who brought the case to court was how much feldman he was unable to be present at the courts ruling hes been gravely ill for some time and wants the right to end his life. I dont want to experience this anymore the difficulty breathing perhaps i will soon no longer be able to communicate and so on my quality of life has reached its limits and i dont want to go on. But not everyone welcomes the courts ruling at a Catholic Charity hospice in berlin many see things differently. So im simply concerned that there will now suddenly be a really easy way that is quicker and also cheaper thats not something i want in our society and i want to be certain that Everything Possible is done so that people can live until the last moment. There are various opinions on the high courts ruling also out on the street yavin is that is a good point if everything is done according to the rule outs and all the paperwork is there and the family agrees and i think its a good thing that he does what its been i think that people should always give life a chance among all the times of terrible misery something good can happen i find it hard to then get a doctor involved its not student teaching but if its about someone who is terminally ill and has decided they dont want to live anymore then they should also have the possibility that someone can help them. Does it go from. The courts decision now puts pressure on the government lawmakers will soon have to establish regulations for medication and procedures the egyptians held a military funeral for 4 with president Hosni Mubarak who died on tuesday at the age of 91 his coffin was discoursing to a mosque and then to the Burial Ground for a private family ceremony wasnt baraka ruled egypt autocratically for 30 years before being ousted in the arab spring protests of 2011 was a key ally of the west who viewed him as a guarantor of regional stability and to many he was a tyrant the even in death he still divides opinion. More planning maybe but again at the end its sad news you know and he must have a proud funeral. Because he did such a lot for egypt. Its enough that he returned sinai to us have been if he leaves a good thing we also have some bad memories including the privatization of Public Companies the illnesses that spread during his time and the rampant corruption unfortunately these are the memories as affected his tenure. Now to india where the Prime MinisterNarendra Modi is appealing for calm after 3 days of sectarian clashes that have rocked the capital delhi orthe origins have deployed riot police and Paramilitary Forces to areas where violence broke out during demonstrations for and against citizenship at least 20 people have lost their lives critics say the legislation introduced by the hindu nationalist government is biased against muslims and undermines the countrys secular constitution. Local residents said they didnt know who had instigated the violence and criticize the police response. With us i dont understand whats happening there are people provoking riots i think there are outsiders i dont know where theyre from if we recognise them we would have stopped them from going to the border but the police should support hindus and muslims equally it shouldnt be like yesterday when policemen were standing with the rioters even throwing stones thats provocative we are we supposed to do. This here its been burned ive no idea you did it theyve been burning shops everywhere theyve been throwing stones for hours now days. The rio carnival usually features flamboyant floats feathers and fun but this year its taken an unusually political turn many floats are taking aim at the right wing populist government of both sonora thats dividing the country by targeting causes close to the heart of rio connell. The highlight of this years controversy will carnival in rio jesus on the cross in the form of a young black man from a veil or a poor neighborhood riddled with bullet holes the monkey or somebody school wants the world to know today jesus would be one of them. It is just he would be born in the man kira 5 he would be plaque and he would definitely be killed by religious police force their message was directed at the brazilian government jesus is a gay man. An indigenous person or as a woman minorities would feel threatened by the year bows and arrows government. I represent the women of the world who are attacked it. Even before the festival got underway conservative christian groups had already protested against the parade. This year is kind of always the most political and years taking pain with corruption racism environmental destruction and the murder of indigenous people. Here we can say what we want and this is our way of protesting. As always its a protest contained in the competition which consists of color contours and plenty of fantasy. Campaign to banks had a few products free has passed its 1st major hurdle on tuesday british lawmakers in scotland put the devolved government on a path to become the 1st place in the world to make menstrual products available at no cost the builder seemed almost unanimous backing from the parliament and now moves to the 2nd stage when it could face amendments comes with an estimated price tag of 24000000. 00 pounds thats about 28 and a half 1000000 euros. Alex forrester was in a sort of following this story for alex so what is the case for making some of your products free well its Pretty Simple its to end so called periods of poverty to enable any woman any girl whatever whether theyre rich whether theyre poor to have access to suitable sanitary products now think about it for every girl or woman who is menstruating its around 5 days a month that costs a round about for those sanitary products in the 10 euros a month times that i 12 over up to 40 years were talking about a huge amount of money now scotland is already the 1st country in the world to offer free son tripp products in universities in schools in colleges and this bill would make sure that that is put into law and enable any woman in scotland who couldnt afford it to get access to those products so there was a lot of you and of how big this issue this period of well it is massive because of course it effects people who cant afford those products and there are some surprising statistics here take for example the United Kingdom around about one in 10 school girls have said that they have been able to afford sanitary products in india its about 12 percent of women and girls and were talking about tens of millions of of women look at kenya hauffe of school girls there so they dont even have access to sanitary products and therefore many of them escaping school and it is an awful stories for example in india of some women choosing to have a uterus is removed so that they can work because if they have their period they are unable to work because they cant get these products but its not just about the products themselves its also about the stigma surrounding periods and there is a very distressing example in nepal where although it has been banned there are some cases in rural area. It is where women when they are menstruating assent to socalled period hearts they are ostracized theyre on their own and some have even done by because theyve tried to light fires to keep warm so theyve suffocated all they have frozen to death there are some countries that tuck some of your products as a luxury which seems odd it seems absolutely crazy when you think about it and its been dubbed the socalled tampon tax take for example germany up until january there was a 19 percent sales tax and all sun sanitary products that is now being cut to 7 percent but across the e. U. For any country they have to charge at least 5 percent thats due to be scrapped in a couple of years other countries have already scrapped it kenya for example canada but you can see why women now a cooling time on or they saying theyve had enough its affecting their health the education that work and in some cases even leading to death like forest whiting thank you.

Novel burned in alexander plots but director book one could bomb each new adaptation sets the film squarely in the here and now served you know with. The you know i got a 2nd chance if you would cite. This one is. The word conspiracy. So lets join the news im going to see if im scott to down the red carpet to welcome gents a classic 1920 s. Novel green made a centuries later what parallels that i enjoy. Yes interesting because i asked the director bronco bonnie exactly that question before the film premiered here and he said that he went when he went back and re read lin alexanderplatz which is sort of like the ulysses of german literature and he said he was struck by the parallels that he found between the novel and the modern day situation here berlin because as you might know the novel is really about an underclass in berlin that lived sort of a pair in a parallel universe to the sort of upper class privileges of a lot of the huge disparity between rich and poor and the director said he felt that really reflected what was happening in modern day but then his interesting i think genius stroke in this film is for the main character the france viva cop character which is a small time criminal german criminal in the in the novel he decided to take a character we thought would represent the lowest rung of German Society today and thats why he picked a african refugee to play to france be republic. Dublins novel is most famous for pushing the boundaries of what a novel can do how it can be written i dont think the film got that far but i still think it was a well told story lets lets take a. The competition director sally to present the roads not taken and lights a once thought about. Well fill this was a star studded film we had Javier Bardem starring as leo now he plays a man who is basically not there hes suffering from early onset dimension is being taken care of by his daughter whos played by elle fanning also a well known star and someone high is also costarring with them so it can be a big red carpet event tonight the film really goes into his memories and kind of presents the different futures he could have had as a writer as a man as a father as a husband you have if you can Say Something about sally paul yes i bought herself a sort of an icon of the cinema because she manages to make these star studded films on a real shoestring budget this film of those has a bunch of big stars we shot over just 4 days on 2 continents its almost a miracle that even got made and came to the bell another also in the competition is the film a doubt the taj mahal film hotly explain this to us. This is sort of i guess youd call it the sort of real life truman show this is part of a massive art project where they took some 400 actors in and put them in an installation in ukraine and made them live as if they were living in soviet russia in this sort of military institute in soviet russia over almost 3 years and they shot them 247 and theyre making several projects out of this including several films and this is just one of the very 1st to come out to premier in the story follows the title character natasha who works at a canteen at a Research Institute she becomes romantically involved in one with one of the researchers there which puts her under the scrutiny of the soviet authorities and now just a word of the war of warning this is an 18 and up audience its a brutal film and its especially more brutal because you know when youre watching it that the actors dont have a home to go to afterwards or stuck on the set right theres no one to say cut.
