Point. Also coming up at the Berlin Film Festival alewife time Achievement Award goes to a woman known as the queen of british cinema. Its helen mirren we did all of the act is triple and off to an emmy a teddy now she can add a gold that at least thats coming up on the day. When to our viewers watching on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with new cases of the coronavirus that have doctors puzzled in california and here in germany the 1st cases have been reported the people who became infected but not by any known means of Trans Mission now that is an unsettling new mystery as the world prepares for more corona virus outbreaks. Many in california are now reporting as we said the 1st cases of the coronavirus that have no obvious means of transmission today the World Health Organization said that efforts to stop the virus have never been as important as they are now and this is what we know tonight new infections outside china now outnumber those inside this map it shows the severity of the epidemic around the world the deeper the blue the higher the number of reported cases china which is you know ground 0 of the 1st outbreak is still well out in front with more than 78000 recorded infections is followed by south korea iran and italy all together 50 countries and territories now have confirmed cases the overall global total is now and more than 82000. 00 in a moment will go to the w. H. O. Coronavirus headquarters in geneva and ill ask about these new cases of mysterious infections but 1st here is more on the virus that is showing no signs of slowing. The south korean city of daegu has been hit by these virus containment measures are in full swing the streets there are being fumigated and medical stuff and collecting samples from people in selfimposed quarantine south korea has the most number of diagnoses coronavirus cases outside china and its desperate to stop those numbers from rising mosques are in short supply with huge lines of places selling them. I only have 5 or 6 masks left at home but i think the coronavirus outbreak will last till the end of much theres never enough masks and i will certainly need more. You know. Across the korean stright japan too is getting serious about stopping the virus in its tracks schools will be closed from next week that means almost 13000000 students will be staying at home. A Graduation Ceremony is coming up soon. So its quite a hectic time of year but most important thing is preventing infections theres not much else we can do. In the middle east and the outbreak in iran is intensifying inside need by saudi arabia is not taking any chances either the kingdom of pilgrims from entering the country and visiting the holy sites in mecca and medina. Theres an increased presence of this disease in several countries including those near saudi arabia increases the risks so protecting pilgrims and the to hold the most and god forbid the sacred sites from the arrival of this disease is very important. The decision will affect muslims wide millions by the annual pilgrimage to mecca during the holy month of ramadan which begins in 4 wakes. And for more now we want to go to Margaret Harris of the World Health Organization she is working with the w h os Coronavirus Team in Geneva Switzerland good evening to you margaret weve got these new reports here in germany and in the u. S. State of california the 1st reported cases with no obvious sources of transmission of the virus in other words we dont know how these patients caught the virus what more do you know about that tonight so when you have a report saying that it has no idea where it came from quite often you find really deep investigation then this happens quite often weeks later you do find the link so this stage is too early to say ok we dont know because theres more to find out so its not a reason to be alarmed that you can say that this is a a new turn in the corona virus saga. No i mean obviously we always like to know where the infection came from so we can follow the link follow the courses help contain it but usually we do find sort of longer and deeper conversations generally or sometimes up to investigate some of the people around generally you do find the links let me ask you the Jerusalem Post is reporting that israeli scientists will have a Coronavirus Vaccine available in just 90 days in the newspapers citing a government minister in that article can you confirm that tonight. We have heard lots of different reports what we do know is that there are at least 4 very good potential backs in can that thats the problem is you need to do extensive testing on human volunteers that Healthy People who say yes i willing to have it tested on me to see if its safe and you need to do that for at least 6 months so even if this promising science and there are some very promising sites around the world that testing needs to be done to make sure its safe to use on everyone but more isnt it its troubling though in worrisome isnt it when you have a Government Ministry in this case israel telling the public that in the span of 3 months a vaccine is going to be ready for the public because that just cant be possible right. Well i havent seen the reports and you know you might remember that the ministry may have saved the can that that scene is good the science is good so sometimes the process is new is misunderstood so until ive actually seen. The the detail on that i couldnt give you an opinion either way. You know we know that countries are attacking this virus with different approaches in the United States for example the Vice President is now heading americas Coronavirus Program are you concerned about a politician with no medical training being in charge of a program like this again these are decisions that Different Countries make but it is important that this Political Engagement in every country because it is the leadership that makes a decision to get on a truly ready 14 so the important thing is to understand that this is going to come to your community and make the decisions you need to make about whos going to look after the sick whos going to bring in the extra Health Care Workers whos going to look after the health get workers make sure theyve got supplies have you got your largess ready all these things so that the questions that need to be almost in the answers need to be found today not tomorrow writes the w. H. S. Margaret harris joining us tonight from Geneva Switzerland with the latest on the battle against the coronavirus market as always we appreciate your insights thank you thank you. Chances are you are watching the day online perhaps on demand or streaming it on social media social media is the same place where misinformation about the virus is spreading the World Health Organization is calling on social media giants to do more to stop what is being called an inflow demick fake news about 19 is dangerous because it can prevent people from getting the facts that they need to protect themselves. As the corona virus spreads around the world theres another outbreak going viral misinformation online from scammers angling for a quick buck to shadowy actors so when chaos manipulators lie in wait. Here a website with wild exaggerations of the number of dead and infected false hype from a notorious american white supremacist and another Conspiracy Theory in the right wing Washington Times linking the coronavirus to chinas bio Warfare Program a rumor rejected by Public Health scientists. Online peddlers are looking to profit from public panic selling products with unproven claims this influenza that is now circling to go youre saying that silver solution would be effective well lets say it hasnt been tested on this strain of the corona virus but its been tested on other strains of the corona virus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours another site advises people to ward off the corona virus by drinking chlorine dioxide a form of industrial bleach the u. S. Food and Drug Administration says is dangerous. Public Health Experts warn such false claims can cause the virus to spread further and faster distracting people from proven prevention techniques. The World Health Organization is fighting back putting pressure on social media giants to place reliable sources about the coronavirus higher in search results. And the w. H. O. Has launched its own Public Information task force. There are several measures you can adopt to protect yourself and others from getting the new coronavirus the appropriate use of math their top Counter Measure to descend permission is simply putting the truth out there with soap and water or alcohol based hand putting the truth of other things. Why you know we just saw. Televangelist there jim baker selling products he knows that its not going to heal people from the coronavirus of the miscue why would anyone want to spread misinformation about this virus well thats an example to make a quick buck a bit of money than anything in the future but i think what you know is more worrying in this in this case is the fact that its being used as a political weapon so not just misinformation but this information in so many guises spread across the world to worry people create fear and no trust in governments in authorities particularly healthful storage fees so for example we had Health Officials in the u. S. Just this week saying theres been a huge number of russian trolls that have suddenly emerged over social media sites and they have been promoting some rather disturbing stories such as for example for the u. S. They were the ones who are behind the coronavirus because they want to wage economic war on china that it was in fact the cia because they want they wanted to create a biological weapon or even on the other hand that it was china that created this for the same reason so all these different guises all these different posts out there none of none of them factually correct but still out there over social media on the internet today about things but we need facebook refuses to turn into political ads away even if theyre full of law is so im wondering what are social Media Companies doing now to control the spread of whines about the yeah and i think theyre very aware that this is become an info demick and that they have to do something so just last week they met with the World Health Organization facebooks headquarters in Silicon Valley where they tried to come up with a strategy and theres no doubt that they have now been trying to promote factual content on the front of of their site so for example i was on facebook today and this came up. I typed in corona virus at the very top of the post it was asking if i was looking for information and it was linking to the German Federal ministry of health and even you know it would be the same and would have a country over him we always see him live in but even if you just scrolling on face but you might get a message like this suddenly popping up help prevent the spread of corona virus with some information about what you can do and on twitter its similar google its them if you put in the search the 1st thing it often pops up his information from the World Health Organization and also all these sites particular Facebook Page using will fact check is at the moment that all looks and sounds good but we have to remind people unfortunately that once something is put on social media once its on the internet its there forever it is and of course these posts and up skipping platforms so you may decide to facebook take it down but it appears interest to whatever it is and then the whole process starts again somebody could take a screen grab they can then share some private messaging such as what Facebook Messenger and remember that these social media sites rely on people like you or me to flag up the posts that on official posts they then decide whether they should be taken down on them and so it goes on and on and on just like the virus at least for the moment i would force why hes always alex thanks for your report. It was one week ago when a far right extremist with a gun killed 9 people from germanys immigrant community in the telling of honey he also shot dead his mother before killing himself today german lawmakers were briefed on the investigation in a special session of the Parliamentary Home Affairs committee it cheerier minister horse does a whole for calling the killings the latest in a bloody trail of 4 right terrorism. In an open letter to germanys chancellor representatives of germanys immigrant communities called on politicians to do more against right wing extremism and racism they stress the lack of ministers with an immigrant background in the German Government they say a fundamental debate about racism needs to take place in German Society that. This could have happened to my brother my family my friends it could have happened to hundreds thousands or millions of immigrants or racialized individuals the message was very clear there is no safe place anymore in germany im. Home Affairs Committee met thursday with National Security chiefs to discuss the hanau attack the suspected attacker appears to have acted alone. The committee discussed possible stricter gun ownership laws the alleged attacker held a legal permit for his weapons. Who did he turn to was there anything unusual the authorities knew but. In cases like this do we know have to make sure that the gun permit is withdrawn if there will be reasonable doubts about high stable that person is. There was cross Party Agreement that German Society needs to do more to tackle racism. The Security Risk for the population is extremely high and theres a lot of uncertainty and there are simply people in this country who are afraid and this country this state the federal government needs to react decisively to that germanys immigrant communities are clear about one thing words alone will not be enough. I would really mean now the big table is Patrick Symmes for hes a member of the German Parliament and hes a member of the committee on internal affairs the committee that had that special meeting today its good to have you back on the show so what can you share with us from that meeting so after all its quite clear that this is something that is a racist try him its not just an ill person of course he is somebody who is doing such a crime must be mentally ill but he is a racist but he planned it he planned when he wanted to shoot people with a background so this is a racist try mens our minister of home affairs pointed out the very clear was there a sense of alarm in the meeting you know horses over the countries in theory a minister saying that this is the latest in a bloody line of extremist crime in what was what was the bit like in the media yes of course we are shocked we were shocked when we when we saw this crime and were still trying to find out that connection to other people did he of planet of the crime alone all maybe he had a connection or access to a network maybe in the internet so well look in to the background what kind of gun. He used to use this one gun thats called a cheska with this type of gun also in the. Killing so were trying to look at all direction to find out whats behind this investigators they say that the gunman was part of a radicalized far right Community Online i mean you told me last week that fighting radicalization online is probably one of the hardest things to do right now yes its true its not like in former times that people meet each other they use the same platforms they go in the same chat groups so we have to get more access to the spaces where they are and then find connections and schemes of those is a big can see a little bit early on when people drift away too to the extreme parts what about the criticism is just as borg police and Security Forces in germany that they havent taken the far right extremism threat seriously was that discussed in todays meeting yes it was discussed and i think we have to get more policeman to to fight against right wing crimes and of course we looked in the islamistic. Sector we looked in the in the left sector we looked in and many other fields but but we also have to look more in the really right extreme extremists part and ill be doing that can you foresee that this issue or this topic is going to be a major issue in the election next year the National Election i think it will be because we have a mood in the country that one party of our parties in the parliament if he is pushing it was words and after words that come actions and people are afraid that more and more of these crimes would happen in germany were trying our best that it wont and were employed. For example more policemen more in the intelligence sector but in the end we have to fight also against these mood this feeling in society and. The 1st step and then crimes follow you are a member we have to tell or viewers youre a member of the conservative c. D. U. Party thats the same party of the german chancellor Angela Merkel we know your party is now looking for a new chair person and that chairperson could become a chance their candidate could become the next chancellor of germany are you willing to endure a candidate now weve had several announce in the last week. Any name you would you would like to sit through your support behind so we have got 3 good candidates right now i think it will stay with 3 good candidates so in the end of the parties would be happy if they would have just one good candidate like these and well see in the next week that these candidates will introduce themselves of course they are well known but to the Party Members and then at the 25th of april i think well see who will lead the c. D. U. In the future has always been this is very good to see you and to talk with you thank you. Well its been said that her oscar winning performance in the 2007 film the queen proved that helen mirren is indeed acting royalty well now and shes being presented with the Berlin Film Festivals on the very go to barrow board for wife time achievement and she is no one film wonder its half a century of powerful portrayals on screen and on stage. But lets take the story now to the humphrey and scott. On the red carpet for us tonight good evening to you too so weve got this honorary bearer for Lifetime Achievement for helen mirren what is it about her that makes are so special. Yeah im sort of helen mirren shes such an iconic figure i mean i cant think of another actress with within range i mean shes the queen of england in the queen and then she makes a fast and furious movie i mean i dont know any other actress who could who could cross those boundaries so easily and so effortlessly i mean you saw in the piece and in the short clips that we heard from her jumps it takes her acting her craft incredibly seriously but doesnt seem to take herself that seriously plus it doesnt hurt that shes actually corn i mean you know just just you know by the by i think shes royal and racy thats how i somehow or other you know as she paid the queen so memorably in 2006 receiving it also if it out before meant apparently Queen Elizabeth did watch that film as well and despite the fact it wasnt the most flattering depiction of elizabeth the 2nd she said she didnt mind it too much which is perhaps high praise from you know they have to be fired which i wouldnt mind if you paid me i actually and of course she will go into incredible c. V. Going for a bad behavior in a different theory from the Royal Shakespeare company the youngest member you know to playing the queen which well see at the film which is being shown tonight i mean as a scot says shes just got this incredible range and she also holds that coveted 3 awards true. Its he of getting the tony as well for her work on broadway as well as an anything i work in t. V. Series and the oscars we just mentioned you know now tonight a golden bear and now the golden bear lets talk about the films in competition you saw the latest one today and i understand that that one was met with silence during the screening. But has to be said it was a fairly side into fed to begin with anyway i mean its not a sign of film theres an incredible soundtrack which mostly features condition isnt refrigerators but i mean this is of no dialogue no dialogue and its a film about 2 men who have an encounter one night in bangkok and then drift back into the every day fairly mundane lives its a a taiwanese story time a nice film set in thailand and i think its fair to say that we just reached a peak on how see the show and the rest of it dont take that as a criticism at least from from my side its simon ling you see the director he create hes created this theres almost this new genre of cinema slow cinema these been doing for decades now and it goes against all the conventions of hollywood to get through the narrative to get through dialogue and this this film long slow shots but really invite you to do to slowly ease yourself into into a film i think thats an amazing achievement and id recommend it but its a long long slow look ok weve got 20 seconds max interview which do you think is going to win the golden bear the top award ok american film is going to be never really sometimes always allies and it meant phenomenal movie about abortion ongoing for t. V. History its a french movie and i think its critical to succumb that he for once thats what the better not to meet it would be a threat or a reason to laugh how about free and scott roxboro on the red carpet for us to you both thank you well see you tomorrow.
